“Kara was absolutely wonderful. She took such thoughtful, attentive care of my pups and my home, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. She’s reliable, kind, and truly a gem. I’d recommend her without hesitation.”
About: I’ve been house-sitting and caring for friends’ pets for a little over eight years. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I enjoy spending time with them and keeping them comfortable while their owners are away. Please note: My friendly, well-socialized 21-pound Yorkie-poo, Tivoli, accompanies me on all house-sitting stays. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I only accept overnight bookings with dogs who can comfortably share their home with another dog. I’m a full-time middle school teacher, so I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, with lots more flexibility during school breaks and summer. I love getting to know the pets I care for and making sure they feel happy and comfortable while their people are away. I’m also happy to send photos and updates! Tell me a little about your pet! What do they love? What are their routines and funny little quirks? I’d also like to know about any special needs or anything that might make them anxious. For overnight stays, it’s helpful to know how they get along with other dogs and how they do when left alone.
“Zoe is the best for house sitting! She took care of Sparky so well. She stayed in communication as little or as much as we wanted. On our return home, she even offered to start the laundry for the bedding she slept on. 11/10 dogs would recommend her!!”
About: My husband, Alejandro, and I have been caring for our own dog, Nala, for the past 6 years and 7 months. We completely understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. Caring for her has given us hands-on experience with daily routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure she feels safe, comfortable, and loved. We are patient, responsible, and caring people who genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. We love working as a team to care for pets, making sure they always have company, attention, and plenty of love. We know that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and we are happy to adapt to their individual needs to help them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Our goal is to care for every dog as if they were our own, giving them a safe environment so you can have complete peace of mind. I work 100% remotely from home, which allows me to be with the dogs throughout the day. They won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll be able to give them plenty of attention, potty breaks, and companionship. My schedule is flexible and my husband also works from home most of the days, so this allows us to follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care they may need. We understand how important consistency is for pets, and we’ll do our best to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. We love in a small, clean, pet-friendly apartment in a quiet neighborhood. While we don’t have a yard, we live less than 5 minutes from Sugar House Park, where we take our own dog every day for long walks, exercise, and plenty of time to explore. Any dog staying with us will enjoy regular walks, outdoor time, and lots of attention. We believe that supervised walks and enrichment are a great way to keep dogs happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated, and we’ll make sure your pup gets the exercise and care they need while they’re with us.
“Landon is the man! He did such a good job with our senior dog and our crazy cat. They seemed very content when we got home. If he had questions about something he would ask rather than assuming, which was great! The house also looks immaculate! We are definitely going to reach out to Landon in the future!”
“Jacqueline was great with our dog, Jesse - She sent frequent photos and updates when we were out of town (which we love) and made sure Jesse got plenty of exercise and socialization. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“I am very grateful that Jessica cared for and hung with my senior pup, Sky, over the Holiday. She was responsive, reliable, and communicated very well. I received frequent pictures of Sky, who definitely looked like she was enjoying herself. Most importantly, I felt at ease that she was in good hands and getting lots of love while I was away. Will certainly book Jessica as a sitter again!”
“We have used MacKenzie on two occasions now she is absolutely wonderful, very personable with our little dog Sophie. When we call in or text to check in on how things are going, she gets back to us right away always gives us a good report on how things are going and just makes us feel so comfortable that she’s home taking care of our little dog. She really knows what she is doing. She loves pets and knows how to take very good care of them. I would highly recommend her. You will not be disappointed.”
“Macy was excellent! She sent lots of pictures and updates. My pups were all happy when I got back. I’d definitely book Macy again to watch my dogs. Thank you for the incredible service.”
About: I grew up with pets, at one point three cats, a dog, and a few smaller critters, so I've learned to read animals well. Dogs tend to warm up to me instantly, and cats are my specialty: even the ones who "don't like anyone" usually make an exception for me. I know cats and dogs have very different needs, and I tailor my approach to each whether that's respecting a cat's space and letting them come to me, or matching a dog's energy on a walk. No two pets are alike, and getting to know what makes each one comfortable is my favorite part of the job! I am in the process of transitioning to full time sitter, but for now I am available early mornings from 6am-8:30am, and evenings from 5pm-8:30pm. Friday evenings through Monday mornings I am 100% available any time! I check in regularly throughout the day. Fresh food, fresh water, on schedule every time. Dogs get walks and exercise matched to their energy level. Cats get a clean litter box and plenty of respected space. I watch closely for any change in mood, appetite, or behavior — and I'll reach out right away if anything seems off.
“Sierra was fantastic! She sent us pics of our dogs having a fun time and took great care of our house while we were away. She was great at communication and kept us updated the whole time.”
“Brad is amazing! Can’t say enough good things. He went out of his way to go above and beyond for our pup and did an excellent job. Kept us updated constantly with updates and photos. Highly recommend!!”
“Stephanie was fantastic! She communicated well and sent photos everyday! She was great with our very active German shepherd! She also left the house perfectly clean. We will definitely use her again.”
“Laney is the best! We couldn’t be happier with how much she loved and took good care of both our dogs. We have both an older goldendoodle and a Irishdoodle puppy and together at times the can be a handful. Right before we left our older dog developed an infection that required a bandage and medicine. Laney made sure the bandage stayed on and our little puppy didn’t make the issue worse. She sent lots of pics and didn’t a great job keeping us updated on how the dogs were doing. We also came home to a very clean house. We’ve already booked her for another sitting because we love her so much!!!”
“Christine was a fantastic sitter for us! We appreciated her great communication, all the attention she gave our pup, and how well she took care of our place. We will be sure to check if she is available next time we are out of town 😄”
“Casey was truly an outstanding dog sitter!! She stayed at my house and watched my sweet old girl. Casey sent me daily pictures of Remie and her adorable dog, Moose sun bathing outside or taking naps. She was so sweet to even wash the bed sheets for me as I was returning home pretty late in the evening. Remie looked like she had a really fun time with Casey & Moose. Would HIGHLY recommend & book again with Casey. Thank you so much!!”
“Nadine was excellent!!! She was always prompt and took excellent care of my boys. She was great and giving updates and sending pictures. Not only did she take exceptional care of my two boys, but she left my home spotless!!! I’ll definitely book her again.”

Ian was a great dog sitter!! He took Sadie and his friendly dog Odie out on daily hiking adventures. Ian sent photos and a video of Sadie having fun. We were not sure she would want to come home! It turned out that Ian took care of Sadie at his house which worked out fine.

The average cost of House Sitting in Emigration Oaks is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $69 per night.

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 Emigration Oaks 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 Emigration Oaks 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 Emigration Oaks 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.
