“Cindy was so great with my cats and watching after my place while I was gone for a long weekend! She made time to come over and meet with me for my last minute booking and she sent many pictures throughout the time! So thankful to have her watch the cats!!”
About: I have always had dogs growing up and i now have a golden retriever, that loves to play with freinds! I have a huge backyard, i also work from home so i am always going to be available for bathroom breaks! I love to watch dogs and to have other dogs around that will play with mine would make him so happy! I also work from home so i am willing to be there constantly! I have a huge fenced yard, a big house for them to roam! I love to play ball and frisbee with the dogs! They will get lots of love from me because my kids except one have moved out and they will keep me busy!
“We’ve hired Grady twice now and had a great experience both times. He Treats our pets well, provides frequent updates and goes the extra mile to make things easy for us and to clean up the house when he leaves. Would highly recommend!”
“Mark was amazing with our 3 dogs. We were very hesitant to leave them with someone we didn't know for a week and a half. But, Mark was so great to come over beforehand to meet us and meet the girls to make sure it was going to be a good fit for everyone. Mark was great with asking questions and making sure he understood our expectations before we left. While at our house, he did all the dogs' favorite things with them - long walks, runs, rides in the truck, snuggles on the couch. He kept us posted with pictures and videos and updates. When we got home, he had the house looking even better than we'd left it. We will definitely be looking to Mark first whenever we need someone to care for our girls.”
“Allison was amazing! She was dependable, responsible, and took great care of my dog, Jojo, while I was away. She kept in constant communication and followed my instructions perfectly. I really appreciated all the pictures and videos she sent of Jojo. She took Jojo on three walks a day, which was more than I expected. Since my dog loves walks, she was in heaven while Allison was caring for her. Allison also took excellent care of my house and left everything clean and organized. She even washed the sheets before leaving. I will definitely book her again in the future!”
“Avery was awesome and took such good care of my dogs, provided photos and updates, and went above and beyond when it came to taking care of my apartment while I was gone as well. My dogs absolutely loved her!!”
“Repeat house-sitting customer here! Brody is communicative, dependable, and affectionate with our dogs! We have two high-energy husky mixes and he’s great with them. We will book with Brody again!”
“Raquel was extremely professional and is a natural when it comes to taking care of our cats. They opened up to her on the first day, and she sent us daily photos. We would strongly recommend booking her if you’re looking a a solid sitter with a great heart.”
“Catie was a wonderful dog sitter! Our dog normally gets depressed when we travel and she'll not eat. It's been a game changer having Catie dog sit at the house. Our dog actually ate and was happy! She left a sweet note and took great care of not only the dog, but the house as well. Thanks Catie!! We'll definitely be rebooking.”
About: Hi! I’m Ella, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. Growing up, we always had at least three dogs and a few cats in the house, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me! I have over 8 years of pet-sitting experience and have cared for dogs of all sizes, from tiny Dachshunds to big German Shepherds. I’ve worked with puppies who are still potty training, senior dogs who need a little extra help, and pets who take daily medications (I’m pretty good at sneaking pills into turkey when needed 😉). I love being outside, so if your dog has lots of energy and enjoys long walks or hikes, we’ll get along great! But I’m also totally happy taking things slow and letting your pup stop to sniff every blade of grass along the way 😂. I’m currently in nursing school and am EMT-certified, so I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and comfortable staying calm in unexpected situations. I only have 1–2 clinical days a week, which means I have a pretty flexible schedule otherwise. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll make sure they get lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet them! I know our pets are family, and leaving them in someone else’s care can be stressful. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re away! Whether I’m stopping by for a walk or staying in your home, I’ll give your pet plenty of love, attention, and care. I’m also happy to send lots of updates and photos so you can see how much fun we’re having together!
About: We have grown up with dogs, and have cared for them at every age and every size. We are experienced with crate trained or untrained dogs. We enjoy family walks, and love to play with toys and treats. Cuddle time is our favorite time of day, and happens often. I am available many hours of the day and night, so your pup will have plenty of attention, anytime of day. My work is very flexible, so I can likely come as often and soon after request is made. I love to wrestle, play fetch, and snuggle your dog. Or, if they are skiddish, I can just sit on the floor with them until they decide to trust me. I haven't met a dog I don't like, and I have never met one that doesn't like me!
About: I have two dogs and have had four cats over the course of thirteen years, I love them all dearly. I've also petsat for my neighbors while they were on vacation. I do all my schooling online so Im extremely flexible. I'm also free the majority if not all of the time! Just let me know when you need your pet taken care of and I'll be there. I'll make sure your pets are taken care of and fed, and spend time with them so they don't feel lonely. If your pet needs space I'm also happy to give them that. My dog is very friendly but doesn't get along with humans at first, so I have experience with scared animals
About: I’ve cared for many kinds of animals since I was a child – dogs, cats, a bird, reptiles and amphibians, fish, even cattle. Wide variety and depth of experience. I currently work from home, and occasionally run errands, but otherwise, I’m always nearby to attend to the pet’s needs. There’s always at least someone home to take care of our animals. I have a fenced backyard with shade. There’s plenty of space in the house to accommodate guests. My dogs are crate-trained and play well with other dogs.
About: Since 2016, I’ve gained experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I started pet sitting as a teen for family and friends! When I moved to college I always expressed my love for dogs and was offered a few different month long positions that led me to pet sitting full time! I built a large clientele in Cedar City from 2020-2025. Including dogs, cats, birds, chickens, and horses! Whether your pet loves long walks, extra playtime, snuggles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with lots of different breeds of dogs, administering medications, anxious dogs, and puppies. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so communication is a top priority for me. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. For the summer time pet care is my full time job, during the school year I work 8-2 and my local elementary school. I am also a full time online graduate student. Most of my free time after taking care of your pets is spent studying. I love doing an in home visit before I watch your animals to make sure I understand the routine. I ask that you leave a detailed note for me to review while you are away to ensure I am providing the correct care for your animals. I prioritize their routine and schedule my plans or routines around them. I am known to leave your house the way I found it. I’ve had owners worried I didn’t make myself comfortable by how clean I left the place!
“My dog Lilo absolutely loves Kendra. It is so comforting to know that your pet is well taken care of while you are away on vacation. Pet sitting or housesitting, I would book her again and again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in American Fork is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - American Fork
Sky was the best caregiver for our pups that we could have asked for! We have literally never left our dogs with anyone other than family & we usually travel with them, but we couldn't bring them a long for where we were going & I was seriously so nervous leaving them with someone. Sky made us immediately feel at ease. The home visit went so well. You could tell she was capable & had such bright vibes. She checked in with us & gave the up most care to our dogs. I had left in a hurry bc we were in charge of a youth camp, so my counters were messy & I felt embarrassed for leaving a mess, but when I got home I noticed she had wiped down the counters & did a few of the dishes that I hadn't washed. I didn't expect her to do anything extra, but I thought that was so kind & thoughtful of her. I definitely would trust Sky with my dogs anytime. Thank you Sky!!
This was our first time using Rover, and we decided to take a chance because in the past we’ve always relied on family to watch our dogs while we were on vacation. We have one pup with high anxiety who doesn’t do well in kennels, and neither of our dogs are great with other dogs, so we were definitely nervous. Sarah completely put our minds at ease. She cared for them and treated them like they were her own. We received updates, knew they were in great hands, and could actually enjoy our vacation without worrying. I honestly think they may have enjoyed their time with Sarah more than they do with us! We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience and would absolutely book with her again.
Sarah was amazing with my dogs! She was so communicative the whole time I was away, she sent lots of cute photos of mg boys and she took amazing care of the house as well. Coming back from a long travel day to two happy healthy pups and a clean home was so lovely. I’d for sure book her again.
He was absolutely amazing! We felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs and chickens in his care, and he went above and beyond to make sure everyone was well taken care of. He was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to happy pets and a well cared for home. We would absolutely trust him to watch our animals again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!
Whitney is fantastic!!! This is her second time staying with our 3 dogs and we had no worries at any point during our trip. We knew our girls would be well taken care of and happy upon our return. We have dogs with different needs and Whitney is able to take care of them each in their own way; she sends pictures and updates, so we know everyone is happy!! It is especially nice to have found a trustworthy, reliable and kind sitter!! We all love Whitney!!
Rebecca was very easy to work and communicate with! We scheduled a couple visits before the house sitting to have her meet our dog Archie, and he instantly loved her which relieved a ton of stress! She stayed at our house with him and gave multiple photo updates of him. She kept the house clean/the same as how we left it and even ran the laundry, had the dishes in the dishwasher, and took out the trash before we got back! :) We loved working with Rebecca and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! 😊
Kristin was so easy and kind to work with. She came and picked up my dogs and dropped them off at the end of the weekend which was a huge plusJune and August received lots of attention with Kristin and her family. I enjoyed getting picture updates while I was away and knew they were being well cared for. My dogs were really well cared for and I really appreciated that she asked what I wanted and needed for the dogs and was very attentive to their feeding and playing needs. Will definitely be rebooking regularly!
Callie was amazing! We did a virtual meeting prior to booking and Callie was super open and friendly. On the first day she’s arrived on time and went over everything with us very kindly and asked all the questions. She stayed with Tomas for 4 days and she constantly sent us pictures, she pampered him so much, he was very happy and comfortable with her. I would just describe this experience with Callie as the best ever! She took great care of Tomas but also of our home. Definitely recommend and would book again
Jada kept our dog safe, fed, and loved while we were away, and that’s a win for pet parents! Communication was a little low at first, but she was very quick to respond once I reached out. She shared some photos of our dog over our trip which we loved!! We did come home after a 6 day trip to our dogs water bowl empty which was a little concerning, but in all honesty is something that I feel can easily and unfortunately get overlooked while heading out after a long sit. All around Jada did a great job in-house sitting our dog, and I would recommend her to a friend looking for pet sitting!

FAQs for House Sitting - American Fork
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in American Fork on Rover is $52.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,659 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across American Fork. 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 American Fork 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 American Fork 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 American Fork 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
