“We have never left our babies alone without a family member watching them. Tammy made us feel so comfortable. She communicated several times a day on how the dogs were doing, which put me at ease being away from them. I would highly recommend Tammy. She definitely treats your babies as her own. I already have our next sitting appointment with her!”
“Lindsay was great with all 4 of my animals even though they can be a handful sometimes! I got frequent picture and video updates, along with updates on what they were up to! She kept everything nice and clean.”
“Lexi was great with my kitten! She was flexible with times and did a meet and greet beforehand. She sent pictures and updates on how my cat was doing while I was gone. Will definitely be using her again for petsitting!”
“Grace is our go to for Sammy watching. Sammy adores her and Grace takes such good care of her. We had to leave town last minute for a funeral and Grace graciously stepped in to watch Sammy for us and we are so thankful!”
“Zoe has been an amazing sitter! We get daily updates and pictures and when we get back from our trips our home is spotless. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and are so so happy to have someone we can trust to watch our pets!”
“We have never left our pets for this long before so we were a bit nervous beforehand. Everything went great! We returned home to happy, well cared for pets. Thank you!!!!!”
“Laura took amazing care of my dog and was so easy to work with. This was my first time using Rover and Laura’s attention to detail made it so easy to enjoy my vacation! She’s awesome!”
“McKenna is absolutely amazing! McKenna house sat our two fur babies (dogs), fish and plants for about 10 days while we were out of the country. One of our fur babies is a high energy/maintenance, shy and anxious girl who needs a lot of extra lovings. McKenna did a phenomenal job giving her everything she needed (lots of play time, cuddles and she administered her veterinary prescribed medications). Both of our dogs were very well cared for and content when we got home from our trip! Not only were the puppies well taken care of but our home was left in pristine condition. McKenna left our home meticulous! My fish and plants were in great shape too! McKenna sent us daily updates and she was prompt to notify us of any questions/concerns. Needless to say, she will be our go to house sitter from now on! I honestly can’t express how much she helped us out and it was so nice that our animals could stay in the comfort of their own home with a warm smile while we were out of town. I cannot recommend her more!”
“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: 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.
“Kaylee did a great job watching our fur babies! The dogs loved her and she took good care of our house. We appreciated all the photos and updates we received from her during our vacation. I also really appreciated her quick response to questions. Would definitely ask her to watch our doggies again!”
About: I grew up with my mom finding strays to care for and finding them homes. I've always wanted my own. I've had my dog for 4 years and adopted my kitten a few months ago! I am mostly free on weekdays and most weekends so any day works for me to give your pets my undivided attention and my best care. I will be able to drop in and hang out with your pets as long, or as many times as needed to make them and yourself more comfortable!
“Alex is my go-to sitter whenever I’m out of town, and he’s amazing with Skylar! He’s reliable, caring, and always keeps me updated with pictures and messages. I trust him completely to give Skylar the best care. Highly recommend!”
“Isela was so wonderful! She texted me every day sending pictures and updates on my fur babies. She was very communicative and considerate. This was my first time using rover and I was very nervous at first. Isela made me feel at ease and my dogs adored her! I highly recommend and will be using her again in the future! <3”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fruit Heights
Tammy and Jeff were more than you can ask for in a house sitter! Went above and beyond to care for our pets, plants, and home. When an unforeseen wrench came their way, didn’t hear a peep of complaining or annoyance. I know my girls were safe and felt comfortable with them and that’s all I needed while I was away. They were terrific!!!
McKenna is the real deal! I went out of country for a vacation super worried of my oversized, over-energetic dog would be well cared for - and McKenna more than met my expectations! She provided constant reports on how he was doing, with pictures, and made sure she followed the instructions I left to the letter. McKenna is a wonderful house AND dog sitter and I’m so glad I now have someone I can trust. My dog had a great time. Thank you McKenna!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fruit Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fruit Heights on Rover is $35.43 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,403 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fruit Heights. 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 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 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 Fruit Heights. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
