“Evren was wonderful with our 3 dogs! They warmed up to her right away, and she took amazing care of them while we were away. She even went above and beyond by caring for our 4 rats and leaving the house spotless. We felt completely confident knowing our pets were in great hands. We highly recommend Evren and will definitely call her again.”
“Julia stayed overnight with my fur babies and was able to impress us in 4 ways: 1- She was able to cuddle up with one of my noncuddly kitties - a lovie kitty but we can't get her to cuddle but Julia did! We got video proof. 2- Julia also provided insulin shots to our diabetic cat morning & night. 3- She came the day before to meet the pets and get instructions. There were a lot of instructions and she absorbed them all with a great attitude and told us that the details show that we really care about our pets. 4- The most important thing that Julia did for us was to let our Cavalier King Charles sleep with her no matter how much he snored! We will definitely have her watch our house and fur babies again!”
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!
“Alleena was great with our nervous, anxious little pup. We could tell just for meeting her that she was going to be a good fit. She’s very calm and you could tell she’s just natural with animals. We definitely recommend her and we will be using her again!”
“Tamilyn is so wonderful! She was respectful of our home and very attentive to our Ruby. She went above and beyond making sure she was comfortable while we were away. We had great communication with picture updates. I highly recommend her to watch anyone's furbabies! We will definitely be requesting her again!”
“Molly went above and beyond to make our dog feel comfortable. She played games either her, brushed her, and took her on walks every day. We appreciated her daily communication with us while we were gone.”
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: Combined, my husband and I have 15 years of pet care experience! We love pups, and would love to get to know your fur baby! Our house is a clean and safe environment, with a dog door to the backyard available at all times. Whether your pup loves to play OR sleep, we will accommodate them! Our two pups (male, neutered, completely vaccinated) will be more than happy to play and lounge around with your pup(s). We are so excited to meet you! During the school year, we are both gone for ~ 6 hours a day Monday-Friday. During the summer, we are available all day every day! When a pup is boarding with us, we make sure to be at home as much as possible! We have a fenced yard, dog door 24/7, and two pups who will be ecstatic to spend time with your pet. We are able to crate your pet if needed, and will play as much or as little as they like! We are dedicated to creating a safe and comfortable environment for your pet. We do have a cat that keeps to herself and is either in our bedroom or outside. She is shy, so she very rarely comes out when a new pet or person is in the house. If your pet does not get along with other dogs, we are unfortunately not a fit for your pup! We hope to be a good fit for you and are so excited to get to know your pet!

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.
“Elva was a great house/pet sitter for us! This is the first time we have ever needed one for our 12 year old dog and we couldn't be happier with the service she provided. I appreciated that she was willing to come before we left to meet us and learn our dog's current routines. I came back home to the house still being clean and a happy dog. I will definitely reach out to Elva again for any upcoming trips!”

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.

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 💔

We highly recommend Evren and will definitely call her again.
Elizabeth was amazing and I would definitely rebook. She came over before the booking so our dogs could meet each other and make sure it was a good fit. Poppy is such a sweetheart! During her stay Elizabeth went above and beyond to care for my house, in addition to my dogs. When I returned everything was clean. She’s the best, thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in College Ward is $38 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 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 October 2026, there are 335 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across College Ward. 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 College Ward 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 College Ward 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 College Ward 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.
