“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!”
“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!!!”
“Liz did a wonderful job watching our kids. We have one large dog and one small dog. Liz did a great job of catering to each of their needs. We could see through the pics that she sent with updates that they were happy and well cared for making it easy to relax while on vacation. And we came home to a clean house and happy dogs. We will definately reach out to her again when we need a sitter.”
“We called Baileigh to help with our dog and cat last minute due to unforseen circumstances. She was super kind and got to our home quickly and took great care of our 2 girls!”
“Lexi was wonderful with our dogs, and we returned home from our vacation to happy and healthy pups. One of our dogs is 14 years old with mobility issues; she has trouble moving around and needs quite a few medications and supplements with her meals. Lexi was more than willing to meet all her needs, and even made sure to leave food out for the neighborhood outdoor cat for us. We really appreciated the love and care Lexi showed our pets.”
“Traylor & Jason were so so good with our Tank while we were out of town! Their patience, knowledge, and attention to his extra need for space due to recent changes was absolutely the best. They moved at his pace and ensured his confidence and comfort. Lots of updates and photos helped us too while we were away. We will be calling on them again for sure. Thank y’all SO much for such good care of him!”
“We have had Lindsay house sit for us many times and she always takes such good care of our dogs and home. She is provides frequent updates, treats our home and dogs as her own, and has become our go-to for when we are out of town. Couldn’t recommend Lindsay more.”
“I’ve used Shayla a couple times to stay in my home and watch my dog. She’s been awesome at communication and taking care of Ruby. She’s leaves our home clean and follows instructions well. She goes above and beyond and I’ll be using her for trips that we can’t take dogs on.”
“Zoe was great to work with! She was able to manage my crazy crew! I know it’s not an easy job for everyone, but I am so very grateful for her care! Came home and they all seemed very well taken care of and relaxed. Thank you!”
“Grace was lovely! Our girl, Sammy, loves her. Grace does a great job of keeping Sammy very active while we are gone. Sammy also had an eye infection that required daily drops and Grace did a great job of administering the drops for us while we were away.”
“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!”
“This was our second time booking with Kaylee! She is so great—the pups love her so much and our house looks so great when we come back. We will definitely book with her again!”
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!
“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!”
“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!”
“Kelsey and Michael were great. We went out of town for 12 days and Kelsey stayed with our dogs and sent me daily updates and pictures. She came to our house twice before we left for vacation to meet us and our dogs. I will definitely be using their services again in the future. We have never used a service like this and Kelsey allowed us to enjoy our vacation knowing our dogs were being taken care of.”
About: I have a BS in Animal Science and have 3 years direct experience working with animals. I’ve also worked with a 2 month old puppy, volunteered at my local animal shelter, as well as received Volunteer of the Year award during that time. I've walked dogs, changed cats litter, fed rabbits, and made sure all animals in the shelter had fresh food and water, as well as clean spaces. I’ve always had a caring heart for animals, and am looking forward to taking care of you and your beloved pets! Tambien hablo español! My regular full time job is an accountant. M/F I am free in the evenings, and weekends I am available as well. Having a consistent work schedule for my regular job gives me more flexibility to do what I want in my free time. I adopted a bird a few years ago and have loved taking care of her. She is a cockatiel, and takes certain weekly/monthly maintenance requirements, which shows I'm careful in what I do. Myself being also a fit athletic person makes me a good fit for all size dogs and cats, which I have experience working with at my local animal shelter.
About: Growing up on a farm surrounded by large dogs and with parents who volunteered at Hogle Zoo, I developed a deep-seated belief that animals and wildlife are an extension of our family, deserving of our protection and care. I fostered a profound respect for all our animal friends. My hands-on experience further expanded through working with horses in equine therapy and helping my partner in her grooming salon, where I've become proficient in bathing and drying both dogs and cats. This role has sharpened my ability to recognize and respond to the subtle sensitivities of these animals, enhancing an intuitive connection with them that doesn’t stop giving. As a dedicated pet parent to my own dogs and cats, I consistently apply a compassionate and knowledgeable approach to animal welfare. I’m a Private Chef by trade and have a lot of open availability. I travel for work and can travel to you, too! A lot of my work entails paperwork I do from home, making frequent check-ins possible and welcome. As a dedicated in-home pet sitter, I offer a comprehensive and compassionate approach to animal care, ensuring your pets thrive in their familiar environment. My experience includes professional grooming(bathing and drying only. Please refer out for complete groom), allowing me to maintain your pet's comfort and hygiene. I feel really confident in caring for animals who may experience stress in new situations. I can providing a calm and reassuring presence. Beyond direct pet care, I provide meticulous attention to detail. Home is Heaven. I’m a jack of all trades and your pet sitter could include light yard care, cleaning and professional meal prep to ensure your home remains, BETTER and MORE COMFORTABLE than you left it. My commitment is to deliver reliable, stress-free care, treating your pets and home with the utmost respect and diligence. Who knows? In a time that is desperate for community, maybe we’ll make life long friends in the process.
About: Dogs, cats, reptiles, small mammals, I’ve taken care of them all. I’ve always loved animals ever since I was a young child. I’ve had personal and professional experience with many breeds of dogs, cats, and other types of animals! I’ve helped train the three puppies that my family and I have, and I’ve medicated dogs & cats when needed. I have experience taking care of my dog Daisy’s newborn puppies for months, as well as taking care of a neighbor’s litter of puppies for a week while the family was away. I am very detail oriented and have lots of compassion which is the perfect combination of qualities to give your pets the best care. Your pets are special and unique. Getting their specific needs met is my top priority! I have plenty of time every day to check on your pets, play with them, walk with them, and chill with them. I have availability on Mondays-Sundays for check-ins and walks. I can check on your pets or take them for a walk basically anytime in the morning, afternoon or evening. I do not walk puppies under 1 year old unless they have all of their vaccines up to date. Please message me with any specific questions! When available for overnight pet sitting/longer stays. I would come to your home to patiently greet your pets. I’d pay special attention to how much your pets are eating and drinking. I’ll follow specific instructions from any client as to what they want me to do to care for their pets. If there’s no specific instructions, no worries! I’ll make sure they get playtime, relaxing time, and walks if that’s what your pets like. I can also give baths depending on the temperament of your animals because I want everyone involved to be safe and comfortable. Each time before I leave a client’s home, I clean up their pet’s potty places and make sure the pets are all set for their owner’s arrival.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fruit Heights is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fruit Heights
Tammy and Jeff are genuinely kind people and they care about others and their pets. They saved us while we were out of town and our basement flooded. They were quick to bring over fans and get it dried out…all while keeping our very needy dog happy. They are the best!!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fruit Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fruit Heights on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,366 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.

- 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.
