About: I’ve loved dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have had pets for most of my life. I have experience caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as pets belonging to family members. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I will always care for them with patience, kindness, and attention. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to care for pets. I’m available for house sitting on Mondays and Tuesdays, and I’m also available during the daytime on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. My availability varies on weekends, but I always keep my Rover calendar updated so you can see when I’m available. I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and loving care. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions and routine. I make sure pets have fresh water, meals on time, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I keep doors and gates secure, maintain a clean and safe environment, and send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

She great care of the animals, including my roommates pup. She sent pictures which made us feel great and took care of the home. We appreciate the care that was put into looking after the furbabies.

“Haydyn was wonderful with my anxious goldendoodle, Poppy, who's scared of most people and doesn't like being petted. She let Poppy warm up at her own pace and kept me updated throughout the weekend. Poppy soon became comfortable and cuddly with Haydyn, who took her for walks, played, and kept her company. Haydyn respected my home and communicated well with me. I'd love to have her watch Poppy again!”

About: I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment where every dog gets individual attention. With experience training dogs, I understand behavior and focus on keeping dogs calm, well-behaved, and comfortable through consistent routines, exercise, and positive reinforcement. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs and make sure owners stay updated with photos and messages, so you always know your pet is in good hands. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like my own—prioritizing safety, trust, and a stress-free experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the dogs in my care to make sure they get the structure, engagement, and care they need. I prioritize safety, structure, and a calm environment in my home. With experience training dogs, I’m very aware of behavior and body language, which helps me prevent issues before they start. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and rest so dogs feel comfortable and secure. I always supervise interactions, keep a clean and pet-safe space, and follow each dog’s specific needs and instructions. Whether in my home or a client’s, I focus on building trust, reducing stress, and making sure every dog feels safe, cared for, and at ease.

About: Leaving your pet with someone new is stressful, I get it. My goal is simple. Treat your pet like family, so you can relax when you are gone. Every visit includes real attention, not just the basics. Playtime, enrichment, and whatever routine your pet is used to. I take time upfront to learn their personality and quirks, so care feels familiar to them, not disruptive. You’ll get honest, timely updates with photos so you’re never left wondering how things are going. I’m a dog mom of two, and I grew up with dogs my whole life. I’ve also looked after friends’ pets for years, so I know how much it means to leave them in good hands. Every animal has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to really understand each one I care for. Reach out and let’s set up a meet and greet. I’d love to meet your pet! I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule most days. That means I can offer consistent visits at the same time each day, or adjust if your pet’s routine needs something different. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, feeding, fresh water, and playtime or cuddles, depending on what they’re used to. I match walks to your dog’s energy level, and any specific instructions you give me, whether that’s a calm stroll or a longer walk to burn off energy. House sitting: I treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Beyond looking after your pets routine, I keep an eye on the house, bring in mail or packages if needed, and leave things exactly as I found them.

She followed all of my instructions carefully and communicated promptly whenever she had a question. When we returned, our home was exactly as we had left it, and most importantly, our pups were happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using Bailey again.”

About: While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I’ve always loved animals and have hands on experience caring for pets of different ages, including a senior pet and a young kitten. Because of that, I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, energy level, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and will treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m happy to follow their normal routine, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, litter box care, or simply keeping them company. I also know how reassuring it is to get updates while you’re away, so I’m more than happy to send plenty of photos and check ins! Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I currently work Monday through Friday from 8:30–5:30, so I’m available for pet care after work and have open availability on weekends. As I build my pet-sitting schedule, I’m hoping to make pet care a bigger part of my weekly routine, which will allow me to offer even more flexibility and availability in the future. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that keeps your pet’s routine consistent and gives them the attention they deserve! I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, whether they’re cats or dogs, and I’ll always treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. As a longtime cat owner, I have experience caring for both younger and senior pets, including giving my senior cat medication when she’s sick and keeping up with regular vet visits for both of my cats. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, litter box care, medication, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: I know how stressful it can be to entrust your baby to someone else. My goal is to provide a calm, clean, low-stress environment where your pup gets plenty of one-on-one attention, affection, and care. Because I work from home, your dog will rarely be left alone and will be part of my daily routine. I intentionally keep my bookings limited because I’d rather provide exceptional care to a few dogs than juggle a full house. Every dog has different needs, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and at home. I’ve been a dog mom for over six years and have experience training dogs, so I’m comfortable reinforcing good habits, maintaining routines, and adapting to different personalities and energy levels. I hope your dog leaves with a wagging tail, new happy memories, and excitement to come back for their next vacation. Dogs are already at the center of my daily routine, so caring for yours fits right in. My own pup keeps me active with outdoor time/play, and working from home gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention and stick to your dog’s normal routine. I keep my bookings small so every dog gets the care and attention they deserve. Creating a safe and comfortable environment is my top priority. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, notice changes in behavior quickly, and make sure each pet feels secure and cared for throughout their stay. I keep my home clean, organized, and pet-friendly, with a calm environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel comfortable. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, boundaries, and any special needs, so their stay feels as familiar as possible. I also prioritize safe interactions between pets and always respect each animal’s comfort level. My own dog is friendly and social, but I can provide separate spaces when needed to ensure every pet feels safe and stress-free. You can expect regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing while they’re away.

“We had Staci stay with our Pittie, Jax, in our home, for 15 days. She came over for a meet and greet before we departed and Jax took to her immediately. Staci was dependable, neat, and trustworthy. She took such great care of Jax, even let him sleep with her. She sent us regular updates and pictures while we were gone. We came home to find not only a happy dog, but a clean house too. I would definitely rebook with Staci and would recommend her to anyone.”

I unexpectedly lost service for more than a day and I was pleased with Mia's update when I found service again and that she was able to independently problem solve a picky-eater situation with ease when she wasn't able to talk with me. When I walked into my home this afternoon I am near certain it was cleaner than when I left it. Mia is really sweet and it's clear she loves cats”

About: Hi, my name it Kya, I’m a professional musician who deeply loves animals! I grew up caring for both cats and dogs, including my own 3 rescue dogs I call my three baby bears, but I love all kinds of pets including birds, rats, even snakes! I absolutely love the differences in every animal's personality. Working as a freelance musician means I set my own schedule, and I’m mostly doing composition work from home these days which leaves me very flexible! I have great availability to come pet, play with, walk or run with your fur babies, or house sit while you’re away. I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds and have an active lifestyle so if you have a dog that needs some exercise, I'd be happy to do it. I also love caring for pets in their golden senior years, I’m someone you could trust with medications and to keep them on their routines. Spending time with animals brings me so much joy, your babies will be in great hands with me. And as a bonus, you’re supporting the local music scene by helping me make some extra money! I set my own hours as a musician, and these days I’m mostly doing composition work from home so it’s very easy for me to be flexible and work around what you and your pets need. I am not offering services in my own home at the moment because my two old lady dogs aren't as social these days. Caring for your babies in your home allows me to learn their routines and keep them as comfortable as possible, especially if you’re traveling.

We have booked with Theresa before and will continue to do so as long as she is available. It is such a relief to enjoy my trips and not spend the whole time worrying about my dog. Theresa communicates well. I love the pic and video updates. And most importantly coming home the only thing left out is dog toys! That means our home is respected and I trust Theresa in it. And our pups are not just being taken care of. They are being loved on and played with. They were happy, and coming home not having them stressed is the best. Thank you Theresa!

Amanda was fantastic! Honest, reliable, and wonderful with our two cats — including our kitten, who no doubt gave her a run for her money. She was the perfect house guest, staying with us for a full 20 days while we traveled across the country for a wedding in Vermont and a birthday celebration in Florida. On top of house-sitting and looking after our 20+ plants, she sent adorable cat photos throughout the day and followed all of my (admittedly very detailed) instructions to the letter. Would 100% book her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Draper

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Draper on Rover is $60 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $89 per night. 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 2,729 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Draper. 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 Draper 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 Draper 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 Draper 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.
