“I was familiar with Natalie as she watched Wyatt for a weekend during Thanksgiving. Was very impressed at that time and I was very glad I chose her again last weekend for a day trip. Natalie was great with communicating and sent me some cute pictures of Wyatt. Thank you! Will definitely keep Natalie in mind in the future!”
“Hire McKenna!!!! She has got to be the BEST housesitter on here! She communicates extremely well, she respects our wishes, and she goes above and beyond her job title and duties. We are so pleased! Our dogs and our house were perfectly protected with McKenna! You will not be disappointed if you choose her.”
“Jada was amazing house sitting to take care of our pup blue! He needs special medicine in his food and needs a few more potty times than most and we came home to a happy guy! Thank you Jada!”
“Melia really connected with our cats (which is not always the case for sitters). She also handled a completely crazy situation that popped up with calm and professionalism. We will definitely be booking her again!”
About: 🐾 New to Rover, Not to Pet Care! Hi, I’m Shelby! 👋 Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 12+ years. From playful puppies to senior pets and those with special needs, I provide patient, reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. ❤️ As a Direct Support Professional, caring for others is what I do every day. You can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and treat your pets like family. ✨ What you can expect: 🐶 12+ years of pet care experience 💊 Medication administration 🐾 Experience with puppies, seniors & special needs 📸 Frequent photo updates 🚶 Walks, playtime & enrichment 💙 Lots of love, cuddles, and personalized care I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel overwhelming. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! 🐕🐈 I work full time swings typically 3p-10/12p it varies during the week. When I’m not working I’m a home body so your pets will have company with them most of the morning. I do know my schedule usually a month in advance so I am able to let you know before you officially book and you can decide if it works for you. I prefer to stay in their home which allows them to stay comfortable and in their own environment, new places can cause fur babies unnecessary stress and no one wants that. I prefer to keep their routine as normal as possible as well so if they get fed at 5 am I set an alarm to ensure they get fed at their normal time as well.
“Lindsay is great! We have three big dogs with totally different personalities and interests so they can be a bit of a handful. She followed our routine well, kept us updated, and went above and beyond loving them while we were out of town. Would recommend to anyone :)”
About: I have loved animals my whole life and have been pet sitting for a year now! I don’t ask for very much money as I am mostly doing this to spend time with animals (but money would be nice) I am free whenever! I am not attending college currently so I have all the time in the world! I can even pull all nighters for neonatal kittens :) I am not currently accepting pet care in my home but I promise to keep yours safe! I will keep the doors locked, clean if needed, and not answer the door to strangers!
“We love having Madison watch our dog! She is incredible! We always get the sweetest photos, which is so fun when we are away. This time, we were states away and we weren’t sure how late we would make it home. Madison was so flexible and happy to stay until we knew we would make it at a decent hour. She made sure to stay until night medications could be given and that our pup didn’t need anything else. She takes such great care of our girl and we are so grateful!”
About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. Growing up around a farm taught me that every animal has its own unique personality, needs, and way of communicating. To me, pets are family, and I care for them with the same love, patience, and respect that I would my own. I'm attentive, reliable, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's routine and personality. I have a strong intuition when it comes to animal behavior and always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. Whether that means keeping up with exercise, medications, special diets, playtime, or simply providing a calm, reassuring presence, I'm committed to giving every pet the highest level of care. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved companion is in caring, capable hands. I'm self-employed and work part-time in several different roles, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I can easily plan my work around house sitting, dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care to make sure your pets receive the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. My flexibility allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules and provide dependable, attentive care while you're away. I provide personalized, in-home care based on each pet's unique needs and your preferences. I offer overnight house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, medications, litter box cleaning, exercise, playtime, and lots of love and attention. Not only do I care for cats and dogs, but I'm also happy to help care for other household pets according to your instructions. I believe in leaving your home just as I found it—or even a little better. I'm happy to help with light household tasks while you're away, and I can provide additional services, such as basic grooming, by request. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible by giving your pets exceptional care and treating both your home and your animals with the same respect I would my own.
“I had a fantastic experience with Alexander as my dog sitter through Rover. He was incredibly attentive and really took the time to bond with my dog. From our first meeting, it was clear that he genuinely cared about providing the best care possible. During my time away, Alexander sent me regular updates and photos, which eased my worries. My dog came home happy and well-exercised, a testament to Alexander's dedication. I can’t recommend him enough—he's a true gem for any pet owner!”
“Our usual dog sitter had to cancel on us last minute, so we were in a bind trying to find someone else to care for our sweet, special needs dog with less than a weeks notice. Big ask, especially last minute. Brandi was so quick to respond, happy to take on the job, and asked really good questions to ensure our doggo was well taken care of while we were gone. She sent pictures throughout our trip and made sure he had his medications at the times he needed them, and even took him to get a pup cup. She not only took great care of our dog, but our house as well. We came back to the house as we left it. She was kind, reliable, and we absolutely loved working with her. We will definitely be reaching out to her again.”
About: I have had animals all my life ranging from dogs and cats to lizards, bunnies, and snakes. I have also worked in the petcare industry professionally as well for 7 years doing grooming, training, and vet tech work. I currently work form home so I can provide constant care if that is needed. Please let me know ahead of time so that I can make appropriate accommodations :) Im available for long term care or even short daily visits whichever your schedule requires. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I CAN accommodate last minute requests. I can provide home visits/walks, or I can do at home boarding. I have a large backyard that is fully privacy fenced, as well as a private space in my house that we use just for animals
“Julie is Fantastic! She took great care of my senior terrier, and my old girl who only really likes me warmed up to Julie quickly. Communication was Reliable and always quick, and I received great photos. I will be booking again!”
“Cassie was awesome. She took excellent care of our dog and cat while we were out of town. She helped us through our first Rover booking. She kept us updated with pics and messages. Our puppy was definitely sad to see her go. We would 100% book with Cassie again. She is accessible, smart, knows and loves pets. She's responsible, does what she says she is going to do, on time, and overall great house/pet sitter. Thank you. :)”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! Last year, I even completed a service project focused on educating others about the importance of pet enrichment and proper care. I’ll treat your furry friend like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way! I am currently a student at Weber state studying elementary education so I have my student teaching from 8am-11am. I am often available outside of these times. Your pet is safe with me, pets will stay leashed at all times unless we are in a safely locked environment. I also will practice recall often.
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fruit Heights
Anna is so wonderful. She's sweet, funny and really really good with our boy. He immediately loved her and feels really safe (he is sometimes very shy around strangers). She also went above and beyond to take care of him and his fear quirks, like realizing he didn't really want to drink inside of the house today and taking his water bowl outside. I love how she noticed what he needed. Anna's communication is also amazing, we got a bunch of updates and photos while we were away and she was hanging out with him, and I really appreciate that. We will definitely ask her to pup sit again and highly recommend her.
Hannah was awesome and friendly. She’s very experienced with pups and cared for Briley like she would her own! She kept us updated and kept our pup on her schedule and normal routine while we were away so we could enjoy a care free vacation. We so appreciate her and would definitely book again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Fruit Heights is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $54 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Fruit Heights 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 Fruit Heights 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 Fruit Heights 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.
