“Oceana is AMAZING. We recently moved to the area and had to jet off quickly for a family emergency. Not knowing anyone yet, we crossed our fingers that someone on Rover would work out. We feel SO lucky to have found Oceana! She sent tons of updates and most importantly, our pup ADORES her. We can’t say enough good things about her!”
“Samantha was fantastic with our two dogs. She took great care of them, kept me updated on how they were doing and included photos, and also was very respectful of our home. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Sierra was great to work with. I came home to happy healthy dogs and a tidy home. She was a great communicator and I felt secure that my boys would be well looked after. Would use her services again.”

I work 4 hours at a time at most, and am available every night to care for your dog I am comfortable walking dogs in any neighborhood and for any period of time.

“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!!”
“We booked with Elva and Matt for house sitting while we were on vacation. Our previous planned sitter had cancelled last minute and we are honestly so happy they did so we could meet Matt and Elva! Blu absolutely loved them and they took great care of him, as well as the house. Their communication was amazing and we got daily photos and updates of our little guy! We will definitely be booking again☺️”
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.
“Xion was amazing! They went above and beyond in home sitting our dog over our Thanksgiving vacation. From near-daily text and photo updates, to even shoveling snow from our driveway and sidewalk, they really took care of everything and more. So grateful and would absolutely book again!”
“Austin watched our 3 dogs for 10 days and was great to give us daily reports and pictures. He walked them daily and stayed at our house where he gave them lots of love and attention. We have one escape artist but he was very careful and followed our instructions to keep Cosmo safe. We will certainly hire Austin again!”
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.
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! She stayed in our home the entire time with our dogs and took excellent care of them. She was incredibly respectful of our space, kept the house very clean, and followed everything we asked. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were well cared for while we were away. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and responsible 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!”
“Katlyn was incredibly attentive and caring for our dog, Tyson. She kept the house in great order while she was there and Tyson was sure to get a lot of play time and much wanted pets and attention paid to him. Thank you and we and Tyson look forward to the next time!”
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs since I was a child. My best friend Sadie (aka Tater Dog) was almost 12 when she passed a few years ago. We currently have one Blue Healer female dog (3yrs). I am a stay at home mom and am able to give your pet the full time attention they need and want during the day. I will care for your pets every need as if they were mine. I wouldn’t want anyone unreliable or untrustworthy to take care of my pets.
About: I have experience with various different types of animals including cats, and dogs. I love how special and unique each animal is and I love to get to know them and getting to know their personalities. I am working full time and going to school I typically don't work mornings and a couple days during the week I am off and I can stop by and check on them throughout the week. I do anything and everything I can do to take the best care of them, and I always make their health top priority. And treat them like royalty and babies
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life, including one massive great dane along with a fair share of puppies and a few exotic animals. I am fully capable of tending to a senior dog as i’ve personally owned and cared for multiple senior dogs with high medical needs. I completed the utah certification for veterinary assisting and have basic pet first aid knowledge as well as an ability to administer medication to pets. I have a passion for animals and love to see them well cared for. I’m currently a student at utah state university so doing drop in visits or staying overnight works best with my schedule. I tend to have 1-2 hour classes with availability outside of that. I have one to two classes Monday Wednesday Friday giving me the afternoon and evenings free. I am totally available on both Saturday and Sunday. I will ensure to clean up any mess that may happen, water plants and make sure your animal is comfortable and safe in your home. I am open to doing simple chores if needed around the house as well. I will follow any instructions you have for your pets daily schedule.
“Dogs were well cared for and seemed happier and healthier than they were when I left. It was easy to get in touch, and we were regularly updated about about the the dogs.”
About: Have had pets since my youth. Currently have 3 adopted playful dogs, 14yo terrier female mix, 6yo mix and a 6yo male staffie-mix. Aso have a 6yo feline (he acts like a dog). Will come to your pal's home for drop-in visit to feed and for playtime. If desired, I'll even take your pal out for a ride, walk and even hiking and exploring venture If you are a trucker and need someone to take care of your Roaddog while at a shipper or receiver let me know. If your pal has any special medical needs, let me know. My 15yo girl is going blind and requires special attention. The only medical thing I can not provide is shots, but able to provide medications and other special medical support during visit as necessary. My schedule is pretty much open, will keep my calendar updated to help ensure there is no conflict. Will accommodate those whom work night-shift also. The safety and comfort of your pal comes first. Let know of any "no-go zones", such as areas around your residence or neighborhood where he/she is not allowed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 205 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Collinston. 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 Collinston 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 Collinston 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 Collinston 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Collinston. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
