About: My name’s Chris and I’m a nursing student and animal lover! I’ve had 4 cats over the course of my life with varying medical needs, from prescription diets to daily oral medication. I also love dogs and have spent lots of time around dogs, and I’d love to take care of yours :) I’m currently a student so my schedule is pretty flexible from now until January! My schedule will look different after January, but I should know more as January approaches. I can feed your furry friends, play with them, administer their medications, crate them, take them for walks, comfort them, give them treats, and anything else your friend may need while my services are needed!

Daniella took such wonderful care of my dog and home. She followed every direction perfectly, paid close attention to all the little details, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog felt safe, comfortable, and loved the entire time. I’m so grateful for the care and thoughtfulness she showed, and I would wholeheartedly trust her again. She was so sweet and loving and sent us the best photos and updates. Amazing in every way❤️

Kaitlyn watched Coco and Charlie and I’m honestly someone who doesn’t trust people easily, especially when it comes to my dogs. Both of them need meds and have their own quirks, so it’s not simple. She handled everything so well. I didn’t have to worry or check in constantly, which says a lot for me. They were calm, cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. You can tell she actually pays attention and cares, not just going through the motions. I’d have her watch them again without hesitation!

Maddy was amazing. My cat and dog were both super happy when we got home and I could tell they were well-cared for and loved while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to hire Maddy again. Very personable and was willing to come meet me and our pets prior to our trip to make sure it was a good fit. No worries while we were gone. Thanks so much!

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. Not a day has gone by that I've never been around a pet. I even take care of my friend's pets at college when I can! Pet care fits perfectly into my summer routine! I’m free to spend time with your pets, whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just giving them some love and attention. It’s the ideal way for me to enjoy my summer while taking care of your furry friends! I prioritize safety and trust by ensuring a calm, pet-friendly environment. Whether in your home or mine, I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and secure. I’m attentive to their needs and make sure they feel loved and safe while you’re away.

About: Hello, my name is Reed. I’m a 25-year-old student and former Kennel Technician with hands-on experience in dog sitting, daycare, and boarding on my off days. Over the past year, I’ve also worked professionally leading off-leash group hikes using e-collars, managing 15–17 dogs at a time on dog-friendly trails and parks. This role has given me advanced skills in safe pack management, recall training, and e-collar handling. When your pup is with me, you can count on structured exercise, socialization, and fun adventures at dog parks and on dog-friendly trails. I’ll also make sure you receive high-quality photos of your pet so you can see them enjoying their day. I’ve been formally trained on dog behavior and care through PackPro and the Dog Handler Academy, and I continue to build on that knowledge every day. Feel free to reach out and book a date—I’d love to give your dog the care, attention, and adventure they deserve. I work at the pet resort Sunday-Tuesday and Thursdays. If needed on Tuesdays and Thursdays I can do a late overnight stay for a discount. In the house, I can board a family and give medicine oral or injections. I go to dog parks often, and usually take them outside every hour to an hour and a half. The only requirement is having a dog that is friendly so my dog stays safe as well.

We had Sandi watch our pup while we went away for the weekend. It appears that our dog was well taken care of and he was happy. We would use Sandi again because she was polite, sent us loving pics of our dog Murphy, and we were able to trust her with our home too. She was a good choice for us!

Meisha was booked last minute as a backup for my normal house sitter. I was nervous having my home and doggos watched by someone new for the first time in years but Meisha was fantastic. She clearly took the time to get to know my dogs personalities and bond with them individually. My home was clean & dogs happy when I returned from my trip. Will book again!

About: Hi! I'm Sofia, and I'd love to become your dog's new favorite sitter! As a lifelong animal lover, I know that pets are family. When you're away, my goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. I'm currently returning to school to earn my master's degree, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of quality time and attention to the pets in my care. Pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy because it combines my love of animals with spending time outdoors and helping fellow pet owners. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, as well as small animals like guinea pigs. I take the time to learn each pet's routine so they feel comfortable, secure, and right at home. One of my favorite things to do is explore Utah's beautiful trails. If your dog enjoys adventures, I'd love to take them on dog-friendly hikes or nature walks with your permission. My friendly Shih Tzu, Lucy, often joins us on walks and hikes and loves making new friends. If your dog prefers one-on-one outings or does better without another dog, I'm always happy to accommodate that. Every walk is tailored to your dog's personality, energy level, and your preferences, with safety always coming first. When your pet is with me, you can expect: 🐾 Plenty of love, attention, and playtime 📸 Frequent photo and video updates 🚶 Walks, hikes, and activities tailored to your dog's needs 💊 Medication administration if needed 🍽️ Careful attention to feeding schedules and special instructions ❤️ Patient, positive, and compassionate care My professional background in healthcare administration and education has taught me to be dependable, organized, and an excellent communicator. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog loves adventures, belly rubs, or simply having a companion while you're away, I'll treat them like one of my own. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I look forward to getting to know you both. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I'm currently returning to school for my master's degree, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to plan my days around the pets I'm caring for. My own Shih Tzu, Lucy, gets daily walks, playtime, and lots of attention, so caring for dogs is already built into my routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors, whether that's neighborhood walks, hikes, or trips to dog-friendly parks. If your dog enjoys adventures, I'm happy to include them (with your permission). I also make time throughout the day for feeding, enrichment, potty breaks, cuddles, and, of course, plenty of photo updates for owners. I believe pets thrive when they have consistency, attention, and exercise, so I make it a priority to provide all three while they're in my care. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible by keeping them on their normal routine. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any special needs or preferences. I make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, playtime, and mental enrichment throughout the day. If your dog enjoys being active, I'm happy to provide neighborhood walks, nature walks, or dog-friendly hikes with your permission. My friendly Shih Tzu, Lucy, often joins us on walks and loves making new friends, but I'm equally happy to provide one-on-one outings if that's a better fit for your dog. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I'll keep your home clean, provide regular updates with photos and videos, and make sure your pet feels safe and loved until you return. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is receiving the same level of care, affection, and attention they would receive from family.

FAQs for House Sitting - Alta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 2,714 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Alta walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Alta maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Alta choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alta. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
