“Traylor and Jason were excellent with our fur babies. We were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing they were in good hands. Came home to a spotless house as well.”
“We’ve booked with her multiple times, and she has been amazing every single time! She takes such great care of our dogs, sends thoughtful updates and photos, and truly treats them like her own. Our dogs absolutely love her, and we always have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such caring hands. We highly recommend her and will definitely keep booking with her!”
“Elva was a great house/pet sitter for us! This is the first time we have ever needed one for our 12 year old dog and we couldn't be happier with the service she provided. I appreciated that she was willing to come before we left to meet us and learn our dog's current routines. I came back home to the house still being clean and a happy dog. I will definitely reach out to Elva again for any upcoming trips!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“What an awesome sitter. My dogs were well taken care of. Plus after the weekend she stripped her bedding and put it in the laundry room. Everything was clean. Definitely will request her again”
“This was our first time using Rover; we will definitely be booking Kelsey & Michael again. Wonderful fast communication, pictures and everything we asked was done perfectly. Communication from the very being to the very end was amazing.”
“Lyric stayed with my cat for 9 days and was more than willing to stay later in the day with him since my flight home got delayed. She sent pics and was very communicative throughout the whole process. She did a great job, was very trustworthy, and my cat loved her!”
“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!”
“She was an amazing sitter. Asked a lot of questions during our meet and greet to make sure she had all the information to take care of my pup. Also sent lots of pictures and updates. Will definitely book again!”

“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!”
“Kimmie went ABOVE and BEYOND to give our puppies the best days ever. They didn’t have any room to worry, they were just SOO loved and we feel so grateful to have had them available to watch our puppies. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Layton
Shayla was amazing! She loved on our dogs just as well as we would have had we been home. She was absolutely meticulous in ensuring she kept to our care instructions and wasnt afraid to get clarification if she was unclear on something. Our dogs love her! She was an amazing hire!!
Kaylee is awesome. She's so good with dogs (and people), and our scaredy boy was so relaxed around her that he snoozed the entire time she was with him. She's also super responsive and updated us frequently, and was extremely accommodating during an emergency. Highly recommend you get on her schedule if you need someone for your pup.

Lexi was fantastic once again! She took great care of Charlie, kept us updated with photos, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We couldn’t be happier with her service and will absolutely continue booking with her. Highly recommended!
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!
Hettie cared so well for our pack of 5 dogs and handled that with no problem! We had no concerns leaving them with her and knew they were in great hands with Hettie! We appreciated her taking the time to play with EACH of them often while we were gone for a week. Couldn't have gone without her! Will use Hettie as often as we can when we leave town.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Layton on Rover is $44.4 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 2,273 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 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 Layton. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
