About: I have been an animal lover my whole life, so much so that I am in the vet program in Logan, UT. I have taken care of several pets throughout my lifetime both in home and in a clinic boarding facility. I am learning more and more every day of vet school and am happy to learn and take care of young and old animals. I am currently a student in the veterinary program. I am typically in class from 8:30am-4:30pm with an hour lunch break. I am happy to check on pets in the mornings and late afternoon/evenings and potentially mid-day around lunch! On weekends I can be much more flexible! Safety of your pets is a top priority! I will always make sure doors and gates are latched securely before leaving the premise. I always double check the amount of food/medication they are to be given to ensure their health and safety as well as refilling water dishes at least once a day. If you would like I would love to send check in pictures/videos each day to check in!
About: I am a lover of all animals! I have taken care of animals in a variety of settings since I was a teenager. From my own pet rabbit and cat to neighbors dogs, I have worked with a variety of different animals including walking, sitting, and feeding them. I spent the last few summers taking dogs on hikes every morning and ensuring their safety and proper care in the process. I recently graduated from USU with a degree in Equine Science and Management and am currently training three adorable baby horses. I would love to help you out by providing exceptional care for your pets as well! I am currently working a few hours a day training horses with a very flexible schedule so I am available to help with your pets any day of the week when it’s most convenient for you I can come to your home and take care of any service your pets may need, feeding, walking, sitting, etc. I'm happy to help however I can.
“Rachel is a great dog sitter. She walked our pets, gave them attention all day, and even cleaned our house. She gave us the peace of mind we needed while traveling, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone that needs a great dog sitter.”
“Luckily our cats and dog still like us a bit more than Eva, though it's close! She did a great job taking care of them and it showed. Our kitty recently had spay surgery and Eva handled the meds just right. She even made us muffins!”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and caged animals since I was 12 years old. I have experience working with large dogs, small dogs, and everything in between. I was a maid for several years, and so I have experience interacting with pets in others homes as well as my own. I regularly bathed my own dog, Xena, and am comfortable bathing other dogs as well. I adore dogs and animals of all kinds, and your dog will receive loving and responsible care under my supervision. I'm a full time student at USU working on my geology undergrad degree. My busiest day is Wednesday, where I'm usually on campus from 9:30 until 5:30. However, I have several hour long breaks in my schedule. If you live within 20 minutes of campus, I'm happy to use those breaks to come look in or/walk your pet then! I have lots of experience with and patience with animals, as I grew up with several crotchety old cats and lots of neighborhood dogs who I loved very much. I was always the go to pet sitter in my neighborhood, and still care for my boyfriend's parents large dogs when they're out of town. Daily playtime is a must, preferably several times a day if your critter is up for it. I'm an excellent fur baby snuggler as well, if your pet is more lap-time aligned than active.
About: My family had a dog from the time I was a baby; my parents made sure I not only helped by playing with him, but walking, feeding, and grooming him, too. Later we had a cat and another dog. The cat was mine, so litterbox duty was always on me. So I have years of experience living with and taking care of cats and dogs, and I would LOVE the opportunity to show your fur baby some good old fashioned TLC! I do gig work for a living, so my schedule is super flexible, especially if you give me prior notice! I do not work on Sundays and Thursdays, unless it's an extended-stay situation. I can come to your home, where your fur baby is the most comfortable, and make sure they have the company, attention, and care they need when you're gone.
About: I've done dog sitting before, currently I have a dog and have had a dog and cat in the past. My dog has been through training so I'm very good with positive reinforcement! I work for doordash so my schedule is extremely flexible. Especially in evenings if you want a night out, or if you need someone to watch your pet over the night. I will be able to control both schedules and spend plenty of time with your pets. I have a dog, and and love her more than anything in the world. I love to play around with her and cuddle while I watch TV!
About: I have had pets my whole life. I love them like family. I have raised puppies and have taken care of senior dogs with medications. I will keep things organized and clean. Both my husband and I work from home. I only work part time and can make lots of time for play with your dogs. They will not spend long hours with nobody at home as both of us are home majority of the time! I have a fenced yard and one 13 year old cockapoo who is friendly with other dogs. I do have 2 outdoor cats that will be around but generally keep their distance from dogs.
About: Hi, we are Andrew and Kris. We've had pets our entire lives and have started to care for others in addition to our own puppy, Benelli. We have experience caring for various animals including dogs and cats. Kris works from home and we are quite flexible between our two schedules. Extended stays are welcome. We live in a very walkable neighborhood, and loving taking the pups out to walk around. Kris works from hone, so your pet will never be left alone! We are available for boarding as well, and just need advance notice for scheduling. We have a spacious townhouse and are both animal lovers. We currently have one amazing Labradane in the house who loves to play with other pets (if you allow it; otherwise he is very well crate trained and can remain separated). Your pets will have no shortage of attention and affection here!
“Caroline was amazing with my 3 dogs! I have a beagle, husky, and a pit/husky mix and I’m always a little nervous with leaving them with someone but Caroline went above and beyond to manage their craziness and give them love!! My dogs loved her and Caroline’s dog Lady! I really appreciate receiving frequent updates about them when I’m away and she was great with sending me pictures regularly and keeping me in the loop. She even took them out to the parks a bunch of times. They looked like they were having a blast! And knowing that means so much while you’re away from your pet! She also treated my house very well while we were away and kept it nice and clean. Definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a house sitter or pet sitter!”
About: I am a human mom, dog mom, and teacher looking to make some extra income throughout the summer. In this family, we’re always around animals. For questions or wanting to schedule care, please reach out! As a teacher, I have the majority of summers off. I’ll be home each day looking for something to keep busy outside of caring for my kids. In previous jobs my responsibilities included taking care of 1-4 pets at a time (cats and dogs). I was asked to feed them and let them outside. On top of this I played with them, took them on walks, gave them treats and attention, and brushed them. I can take on any pet responsibilities you may need when out of the home.
About: Built trust with pets through patience, consistency, and positive interaction. Maintained safe, clean, and comfortable environments for animals at all times. Monitored pets for changes in behavior, appetite, or health and reported concerns promptly. On weekends, pet care is a regular and prioritized part of my routine. I plan my schedule to allow enough time for feeding, walking, cleaning, and quality interaction with the pets. I make sure they are fed on time, taken out for exercise, and given attention and play to keep them mentally stimulated. I also monitor their behavior and health, ensuring they are comfortable and safe throughout the day. My weekends are flexible, which allows me to be fully attentive to pets’ needs without rushing. I care for pets by following their established routines, ensuring proper feeding, exercise, cleanliness, and attention. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication with owners.
About: I have over 40 years of owning and training fur babies and had many types of pets while growing up on a farm. I have fostered dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, from as big as Mastiffs and Great Dane to as small as Chihuahua and miniature Frenchies. If I see your baby, I'm gonna need to love on them. I have rescued many animals and know how to administer insulin for your aging baby and bottle feed your itty bitty kitties. I understand animal behavior and how best to encourage enthusiastic positive behavior. I believe in positive reinforcement and rewarding, never punishing fur babies. There is always someone at my home, so your babies will never be left alone. It would be my honor to be trusted with your little ones. I work from home and try to arrange my schedule so your babies will never be alone while in my care. 🐶🐾🐶 We will have lots of fun together, and I like to research each specific breed to see what makes them the happiest.🛋️🌳 My yard is fenced with lots of trees and shade, made for playtime. If your baby likes water, and it's a hot day, I'll fill up a play pool.💧💧🌞🌞 My fence is not very tall. If your baby is an escape artist or runner, I am not the best fit 💔

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 262 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Benson. 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 Benson 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 Benson 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 Benson 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
