“Olivia was outstanding, my boys loved her instantly and she was so attentive to both of them. One is older and more frail the other a 2 yr old energy ball and she was great with both. She spent plenty of time with them and took them on long walks. I can’t say enough about how great the experience was for both my boys and myself!”
About: Our family dog gets lots of attention, walks, and play time and that's how yours will be treated too. We are an hour from Jackson Hole, located in tetonia Idaho. Close to many hikes and trails, we love taking your dog out for adventures. We have a beautiful walking path behind our house that we take daily! Whether it’s boarding, day care, house sitting, drop in visits, or walks, your pet will get the best care. My 20 year old daughter and I are passionate about giving your pup or cat the attention and love they deserve. We've always enjoyed having pets in the home, caring for an aging dog, a puppy, kittens, and other animals. We live on a safe, quiet street with a large yard. Our family hopes to welcome your dog into our home and take good care of them while they are here. We all are animal lovers here and think cats and dogs are the best pets around! New to Rover? Use https://www.rover.com/sit/karaf27081 for $40 off your first booking! We’d love to meet you and your pet before booking! This way we can ensure your pup feels comfortable and relaxed when you drop them off! One of us is always home. I take care of the dogs along with my 19 year old daughter who helps message as well. We go on lots of walks, and are also totally fine chilling at home if that’s what your pup prefers! We have one dog who likes to go on walks with the dogs we are watching but isn’t especially playful with other dogs. We can separate or crate dogs easily when we’re away or at night.
“Angela was amazing with my dog Hank and will definitely be using her again in the future! She sent me multiple pictures while I was away and I felt at ease knowing my little guy was in great hands.”
“Jessica took great care of our two dogs (one of which is a puppy and requires some extra eyeballs!). She gave them lots of exercise - walks and swims and tug-of-war etc - and paid special attention to the extreme heat this weekend. She also cleaned paws and kept things tidy and loved on them lots. Jessica sent photos and updates so we knew they were in good hands. Thanks for the good care, Jessica. Would love to book again!”
“Leah, and her son Braylon were a huge last-minute help when travel needs suddenly arose. They took great care of our two dogs and the house was immaculate when we returned. They kept us up to date on the dogs and sent pictures several times a day. Would definitely hire them again!”
“Maureen was so awesome. Sent lots of pics and updates which kept our minds at ease. She was so good to our babies and also left our house totally spotless. We appreciate her so much!”
“Claire was an excellent dog sitter for my border collie mix and I highly recommend her. I will definitely hope to have her stay with my dog anytime I should be out of town. I appreciate her attention to the details of my preferences, and my dogs care while I was gone as well as her help with following through on his training as I advised. My puppy was happy and tired. When I came home from all the activity she gave him.”
“Kyra took amazing care of my 2 dogs and my house! She had great communication, took them on great walks and sent lots of pictures and videos. They were very happy when we got home and my house was cleaner than I left it! I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
About: Hello! My name is Halle and I have an endless love for animals. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I love getting to know your pets and treating them like my own. I cant wait to meet your furry best friend. I have a very open schedule and i'm only working a part time job so I can make sure that I can fit pet care into my schedule. How I care for pets in my home is by providing a fenced in yard for your pup to play in, and following the provided instructions the owner has given me. No other pets currently live here.
“I was soooo nervous leaving my dogs with someone they didn’t know, we had to leave for almost a week and Marissa watched our home and pets for us. Amazing would be an understatement!!! She kept in touch daily with photos and texts, always making sure I knew things were being well handled. She asked questions about things I didn’t even think of, like what day our garbage goes out and if I wanted her to get the mail etc. she left the house in great condition and was so kind and sweet to the dogs, pretty sure they didn’t even miss us!!!! Highly recommend Marissa!”
“Amethyst took great care of our dog and our house. Daily pictures and communication made our time away so much more relaxing. I highly recommend Amethyst as a fantastic dog and house sitter!”

About: I enjoy caring for dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, chickens, goats, fish, and animals of all types but don’t have any of my own so am delighted to take care of your furry friends at your home while you’re away! I grew up running my small business (“Call Claire, the Odd Job Extraordinaire!”) as a responsible, reliable kid on the North Shore of Chicago where I pet sat, walked dogs, house sat, babysat, and provided lawn care, mail take-in services, and other help to dozens of local families in my neighborhood for many years. I also come highly recommended for my more recent pet sitting, horse sitting, and home caretaking work here in the Jackson Hole area. Notably, I have experience taking care of sick and chronically ill animals, managing their veterinary care in close collaboration with their owners. I look forward to working with you and taking good care of your furry friends and home while you’re away!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
