“Karlee did an amazing job, Teddy really loved her, we will def be using Karlee again if she is available! She sent us pics of Teddy, took him with her to family functions, she was very attentive which was what we were looking for!!!”
About: I'm Fear Free certified, which means I'm trained to keep pets calm, comfortable, and stress-free, especially the anxious or shy ones. My clinic background also means I'm comfortable giving medications, noticing when something seems off, and knowing when a vet visit is needed. I have a special soft spot for senior pets. Older dogs often need a slower pace, extra patience, gentle handling, and closer attention to their routines and health, and I'm happy to give them all of that. Whether your pup is a rowdy youngster or a sleepy senior, they'll be treated like family. I live in Bountiful with my own little mixed-breed sidekick, Monty, who also loves meeting new friends (if your pup is social!). Send me a message. I'd love to hear all about your pet and set up a meet-and-greet! I'm usually available weekday mornings & evenings (mid day if it’s close to Bountiful for a potty break), and anytime during the weekends. I plan my day around the pets I'm caring for so meals, walks, and meds happen on time. For overnight or boarding stays, your pet won't be left alone for long stretches, and I'll always let you know my plans ahead of time. Message me with your dates, and I'll do my best to make it work! When I care for pets in your home, I treat your space and routine with the same respect I give your pets. I follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter boxes, and any house rules, and I keep things as close to normal as possible so your pet feels secure. Using Fear Free techniques, I let shy or anxious pets come to me at their own pace and keep the environment calm and quiet. My vet clinic background helps me spot changes in eating, bathroom habits, energy, or behavior, and I'll contact you right away if anything seems off. I'll also tidy up after your pet, bring in mail or packages if you'd like, and make sure doors are locked when I leave. You'll get updates and photos throughout so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Julie is Fantastic! She took great care of my senior terrier, and my old girl who only really likes me warmed up to Julie quickly. Communication was Reliable and always quick, and I received great photos. I will be booking again!”
“We love having Madison watch our dog! She is incredible! We always get the sweetest photos, which is so fun when we are away. This time, we were states away and we weren’t sure how late we would make it home. Madison was so flexible and happy to stay until we knew we would make it at a decent hour. She made sure to stay until night medications could be given and that our pup didn’t need anything else. She takes such great care of our girl and we are so grateful!”
“She was perfect! Puppies were well loved and didn't even miss us 😅 We were able to go for such a long stretch and not worry about them! would definitely love to use her again!”
“Zoe was amazing! Our German Shepherd is typically an anxious dog around new people but Zoe made him feel comfortable almost immediately. We felt very secure knowing that he was being well taken care of. Plus we got lots of pics and updates throughout our time away. We will definitely be having Zoe over again to watch Obi!”
“Kennady was great! Sent lots of updates and pictures of our pups while we were away. She also left our house clean and well cared for. We would gladly book her again!”
About: I have over 4 years of professional experience working at a doggy daycare center caring for dogs all of ages and sizes. In addition, I have had pets all of my life and currently have a golden retriever. I am certified with pet CPR and first aid. I am currently a full time biologist and work from home Monday - Friday. My schedule can vary week to week but I am very flexible and will always find time for your pup! I currently only offer day care and dog boarding. We have a fenced in yard and I work from home Monday - Friday full time so can provide a lot of bathroom and play breaks throughout the day!
“Traylor & Jason were so so good with our Tank while we were out of town! Their patience, knowledge, and attention to his extra need for space due to recent changes was absolutely the best. They moved at his pace and ensured his confidence and comfort. Lots of updates and photos helped us too while we were away. We will be calling on them again for sure. Thank y’all SO much for such good care of him!”
“Grace is our go to for Sammy watching. Sammy adores her and Grace takes such good care of her. We had to leave town last minute for a funeral and Grace graciously stepped in to watch Sammy for us and we are so thankful!”
“Amber is amazing! We will continue to book with her time and time again. Thank you for always taking such great care of our pups and home - we couldn’t have enjoyed our trip without all your help.”
“Mechelle is the best! She sent photos and updates everyday. She definitely spoiled our dog while we were away. Finally had a vacation where we didn’t stress about our dog!”
“Adrianna was excellent with our dog Seamus. He is usually very upset when we leave him and usually sad in the photos that are sent. With Adrianna, that wasn't the case. He always looked like he was having a great time. He was well-cared for with her. We are looking forward to having her babysit again very soon!”
“Kaylee was so great with our pups, they loved her so much! They’re a lot of work and she did such a great job. The house was also so well taken care of and clean when we came home. She also took the cutest pics to share with us of the pups, we will absolutely book with her again!”
About: I have loved animals my whole life and have been pet sitting for a year now! I don’t ask for very much money as I am mostly doing this to spend time with animals (but money would be nice) I am free whenever! I am not attending college currently so I have all the time in the world! I can even pull all nighters for neonatal kittens :) I am not currently accepting pet care in my home but I promise to keep yours safe! I will keep the doors locked, clean if needed, and not answer the door to strangers!
“Christine was amazing with our Frenchies! She was super communicative which was appreciated while we were away and missing our “kids”. She sent daily photos/videos and updates of their well-being and activities. She was very active in giving the pups the exercise that they needed and never fell short of their much needed cuddles and attention. Christine followed instructions extremely well, even with a complicated meal time routine and separate needs for each dog. She also easily navigated the instructions of our home, including the doggy cam, etc. She left her home in excellent shape, looking as if no one was ever here. I would highly recommend her to anyone for excellent care of your fur baby and your home! Thanks Christine!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Centerville is $48

Nichole is a top notch dog sitter. She stayed with our older greyhound in our home for five nights. She provided updates and was excellent at communicating. Our dog was happy and well taken care of while we were away. We will definitely have Nichole stay with him again!
Catrine “Cat” was everything I could have asked for. My regular sitter cancelled a month before my vacation and I found Cat on here. We did a meet and greet and my boys were comfortable with her, which isn’t always the case. They can be selective. Leading up to the booking Cat reached out to offer to come over the morning before I left to make sure she had all the information she needed, which I appreciated. While away she kept in daily contact with text and pictures assuring me the boys were safe, well taken care of and having a great time. She was concerned my one dog was looking a bit skinny because I had changed his food and asked if take could feed him more, for her to notice and ask was a great feeling knowing she was paying attention to them. My other boys takes medication and she had no problem giving him his “pill pocket” twice a day. My dogs have a walker and she texted me commenting on how happy the boys seemed to be with Cat. She was respectful of my home and it was neat and tidy and the bed sheets and towels were washed and folded, above and beyond. If you want to leave your animals in caring, loving hands then Cat is your person. She will definitely be my go to for future sitting during my vacations.
Thankful for the availability, communication and response time in finding a sitter for the dogs. The meet and greet was nice with Trista beforehand and for her to feel comfortable with the dogs/home. It looks like food got mixed up during the weekend and I also had to deep clean upon return home for some pet messes. I'd consider Trista for when we are in a pinch but with better written instructions.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Centerville is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $46 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,548 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Centerville. 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 Centerville 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 Centerville 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 Centerville 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.

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.
