“Tamilyn has been the most caring and kind pet sitter we’ve ever had! She took exceptional care of our very large dog, our 3 needy kitties, and our home. She is super communicative and we’ll definitely have her sit for us again!”
“Julia is the BEST!!! She is so great at updating with lots of pictures and really amazing at making sure our dog gets lots of exercise! We feel 100% comfortable to leave our fur babies in her care. Highly recommend Julia’s services for whatever pet care you need!!!!”
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!
“Samantha was so great, she sent us regular updates and pictures of our pups and was happy to accommodate their schedule. We have four, so we’re extra grateful for the attention and care. Would highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Laura was able to take this assignment at the last minute after a family friend had a change of plans and wasn’t able to stay with my dogs. She was very accommodating and did everything I asked!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old and have years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals. I’m especially comfortable with dogs of all ages, including senior pets who require extra attention and medical care. I have experience administering medications, including injections for diabetic dogs, and I’ve also cared for birds. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely love bonding with animals. I’m active and enjoy being outdoors, so your pets will get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. At the same time, I’m very attentive to their individual needs—whether that’s high energy activities or gentle, calm care for older pets. I’m also extremely responsible and respectful of your home. I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors for years to care for both their pets and their houses, and I always make sure to leave everything even better than I found it. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine! Right now, since it’s summer, I have lots of free time to dedicate to your pets. I rehearse for a show for only a few hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of time to provide consistent care, attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can also accommodate overnight stays whenever needed. My schedule is very flexible outside of rehearsals, so I’m happy to adjust to meet your pet’s routine and specific needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, and any special instructions you provide—to keep them happy and stress-free. I also ensure medications are given safely and on schedule when needed. I treat your home with care, keeping it clean, secure, and organized while you’re away. I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and attention, so pets feel happy, engaged, and cared for while you’re gone. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet and making sure they feel loved and well cared for!
“Makayla was so respectful of our home while she house sat our dog and cats. We came back to happy pets and a house as clean as we left it. She was super responsive and gave me updates and photos anytime I texted. We will definitely book with her again!”
“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 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.
“Sierra was great with our dogs, and they were very calm and content when we arrived back from our trip. She also helped out with a couple household things, that was greatly appreciated! She sent an update everyday as well.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - College Ward
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.

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.
<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 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 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.
