“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Natalie is simply amazing. She is kind, attentive, and responsible. She put us completely at ease so that we could enjoy our vacation without having to worry about our dog. I will DEFINITELY use her again in the future.”
“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 am a dedicated animal lover with a natural ability to connect well with pets. I currently have a 2 pound chihuahua and have experience fostering, whom I thoroughly enjoyed caring for. I am able to care for dogs in the evening for walks when fur parents may not be available to do so. In addition to fostering, I also connect with cats. A friend's skittish cat feels comfortable enough to move about freely and relax in my presence, which reflects my calm and patient approach to animal care. I am currently looking for a part time gigs in the evenings Monday-Friday starting at 5:30pm. In the weekends I am only able to drop in and check on the fur friend and/or go on a walk with me. If there is a consistent fur friend that needs constant care, i would be opened to that. Before going to someone's home, I would ask what are is okay and not. What the fur friend needs to have a good time. Go on walks, on a small hike. Take to a dog park to socialize. Any specific details that I must know.
“Kenna truly went above and beyond taking care of my animals while I was away. She made sure they got their walks, loved on them and kept them on the same schedule they have while I am home. She left my home better than she found it, looking as if she had never even stayed. I was also updated multiple times a day with photos which every pet parent can appreciate while they are away. I already have her booked for a drop-in in the next upcoming weeks. I cannot recommend her enough!”
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.
“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 have had dog/dogs my whole life and have looked after them in every stage from puppies to seniors. I would love to look after your loved ones! I'm currently working part-time and have plenty of time to care for your furry family members! I am flexible to do part time or full time care. I will make sure your animals are safe and respect your boundaries in keeping your animals routines as consistent to your own schedule as possible!
“Marcellene was awesome! We have a dog with a lot of needs (medication, fear aggression, etc) and she was very well taken care of. She sent lots of updates and pictures and we could really enjoy our vacation because we felt at ease with everything at home for our pups. We will definitely work with her 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 have a BS in Animal Science and have 5 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.

M/F I am free in the mornings and 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: 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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Layton
Shayla (and partner Derek) are AMAZING! We are traveling with 2 adult Great Danes ... and needed "housesitting" in our RV so that we could attend planned events for long hours at a time with no worries about our fur babies. I knew from Shayla's meet/greet video that she would be perfect for our boys - and she absolutely was! One of our boys is very shy and withdrawn - especially with strangers. While Chip did not go to Shayla immediate - as his FOMO brother certainly did - he was warming up within the first few hours. Then on day 2, he approached her as she entered. And on day three, he was cuddling with her. That was HUGE progress for Chip. He sensed that Shayla was safe and loving, and he was absolutely right. Derek joined Shayla with our boys when his schedule allowed, so they were able to safely take both boys to the dog park for good stretching. I am so grateful that we found Shayla - and that she accepted this long weekend with our boys. I cannot recommend Shayla enough. She exudes warmth and loving concern for dogs and their humans. If you are local to Layton, Utah, or just passing through -as we did - you can absolutely trust Shayla to care for your fur-babies as her own.
So great! Kaylee was fantastic to watch our dogs while we weee out of town. I messed up the booking dates and she was so flexible and kind to extend so we didn’t have to scramble at the last minute to find someone. Great picture updates! We will 10/10 rebook her again
Allison was great! She stayed at our house and watched our dog and cats. She was very communicative and sent tons of pictures. Our cats had a great time playing and enjoying the snuggles! Our doggo loved all of the scratches and had zero complaints to report. Definitely will use her again! The house and kiddos were all very well taken care of while we were away.
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.
Kaylee took excellent care of our fur family. We got photos for the first couple of days of our trip. When we got home, all pets were in good spirits and had clearly been well cared for. The house was also exactly as we had left it. We were so grateful for the care she took!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Layton is $45 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $83 per night. On Rover, 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 2,259 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Layton. 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 Layton 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 Layton 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 Layton 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.
