“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!!!!!”
“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!”
“Kelsey is fantastic! She put my anxious dog at ease all weekend. My dog hardly noticed I was gone ? She also left my home neat and tidy. Would totally book with her again.”
About: I am the best furry detective! Im able to figure out your pets needs, wants and desires. You and youre pets will be getting my full attention to tend to this case. All eyes, all ears, all senses. I can sniff out any problem, just like your furry friends. I can handle any case big or small. Need assistance? I’m here. If constant updates are needed, consider them done. Communication is key, and it happens to be my specialty. I am always ready to listen and to learn, to do what needs to be done for you. Remember you are my client. I will do everything I can to help. Detective out! Ive been working at a doggy daycare for the past 4 months! To be able to work at a doggy daycare you need to be able to give dogs medicine, specific food portions recommended by the parents, work with human agressive dogs, and dog aggressive dogs as well as non-neutered/spayed dogs. At the daycare i work at I need to always be giving the dogs all the attention they need as well as constant supervision over them as well. I work with hyper dogs that jump taller than 10 feet high, and super shy dogs that take more time to warm up to others. I’ll make sure they have everything they need as well as tending to them. Water, food, play time, etc. I will get to know them more personally and make sure the fur babies are comfortable with me. Get used to their routine and behaviors.
“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!”
“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!”
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
“Bia was awesome! She handled my dogs with great care. I always get nervous leaving my dogs but Bia went above and beyond to make me feel at ease. I would definitely be acquiring her services again as well as recommending her!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind and I love them all!! I have been dog sitting for 2 years now and also have my own animals that I love and take care of constantly. I also have a big back yard and lots of room in my home! I have had my own pets for my whole life so taking care of pets is my daily routine! I do work a part time job but it is early in the morning, so after that I go home and take care of my own pets. I have a fenced yard and lots of room in my home. I also have 2 dogs of my own that are small and very nice. I have many crates of all sizes if needed as well.
“Natalie has become my go-to sitter this year for my cat. She always takes great care of him and is great with communication. I don’t worry at all when I’m away because I knows she’s there and spending some quality time with him.”
“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.”

If there are any special concerns you need me to know about your dog, please let me know before booking.

Home after 3p, all day on the weekends to hang out with the puppers. All holidays are off typically a four day weekend In my home they will be with me roaming around freely.

About: I’ve had dogs in my home my whole life and currently have cats of my own. I foster kittens through the shelter whenever I can, with most of my experience focused on neonatal and high-needs kittens. I also regularly walk shelter dogs and am comfortable caring for a variety of personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like family. I work Wednesday–Sunday from 3–11 PM, but I’m available for visits in the mornings and early afternoons, as well as Monday–Tuesday. Pets are part of my daily life. I feed my cats, foster kittens, and walk shelter dogs. I make sure every pet gets consistent care, love, and attention. I care for pets in their home, following your routines for food, meds, and play. I make sure pets feel safe and loved, and I provide updates so you can see they’re happy and comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of animals almost my entire life! Growing up, I’ve had chickens, cats, dogs, fish, and all kinds of pets. When my family goes out of town, I usually help care for their 5 dogs, so I’m very comfortable caring for multiple pets at once. Over the past year, I’ve also started regularly watching my grandpa’s big dogs and my neighbors’ pets, including their fish, cats, and dogs. They’ve trusted me to feed, walk, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I also have my own fur baby Frankie, a mini Bernedoodle who is a huge part of my family. He’s playful, loving, and keeps me on my toes! Having Frank has taught me even more about understanding a dog’s individual personality, needs, and routines. I truly love animals and want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my week. I currently work as a nanny about 8 hours a week, and I’m also an esthetician working about 4 days a week for 5–6 hours per shift. Because my shifts are shorter and I have flexibility throughout the week, I have plenty of time before and after work to care for pets, take them on walks, play with them, and give them the attention they need. I’m also used to balancing my schedule around the pets I care for and making sure they get consistent care and attention. My rates are negotiable and also depend on how many pets I’m watching. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and familiar. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also make sure their space stays clean and tidy. I have a very active dog of my own, Frank, and my husband and I take him to the dog park near our home about 4 times a week, where he gets to interact with dogs of all different sizes and personalities. He also gets regular walks and frequent bathroom breaks throughout the day. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with energetic dogs, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of exercise and attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll take the time to learn what works best for each pet and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away.
About: I have been taking care of dogs, up to 4 at a time, for 13 years. I believe it is a privilege to own animals and take care of them, I have such a big heart and care deeply about animals quality of life. I have dedicated large amounts of time to research on how to provide the upmost care to dogs, specifically large dogs. I have a 7 year old Lab of my own and he is my whole world! I would love to share my experience and knowledge with other pet families so they can trust their animal is happy and safe with me. I am very educated on dog health and know the signs of when a dog needs vet care and I am very comfortable administering first-aid. I am currently working remote with some freelance and contract work, but I am looking to spend more time doing things I enjoy and finding myself more of a community. I have a 7 year old Labrador that has a sold routine and he is very happy. I am very proactive in his care and quality of life and some people have said I’m high-maintenance with my dog or I care too much, but I believe an animal’s quality of life is just as important as our quality of life. I think routine and high quality care is very important. It is also very important to me to be as educated as possible when it comes to dogs behaviors and needs. I know how to communicate with them and understand their behaviors due to my personal experience and years of deep research. I will always be attentive to your pets needs, it comes very naturally for me!
About: I love cuddling and taking care of animals. I am a stay at home mom so I’m always home. I can throw toys and play with your fur baby and take them on walks. I’ve had a cat and dog growing up so I’m very experienced caring with animals. I love having a cuddle buddy also. I’m always available exspecially during the holidays since we won’t be going anywhere. I will be very happy to watch your fur babies and love on them while you guys are away. I will send you updates and pictures if wanted and make sure they are comfortable while you are away. I also have 4 kids ages 6 months, 1 yr old, 3 yr old and 5 yr old that are great with animals. Thank you for reading and I can’t wait to watch your lovely fur babies! . . . . . . . I am a stay at home mom I rarely leave the house so I have plenty of time to love on and care for your pets. I have a fenced yard and plenty of space in the yard for your pet to Rome and play. I prefer my home due to having 4 children. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I’m always home with my children and I’m always available for whatever your fur baby may need. I have a fenced in yard and lots of space in my backyard for running around and playing fetch. We also have little plastic pool that your dog can get nice and cool in and we also like to relax on the couch for the kittens/cats or dogs that want to cuddle.
About: Hi, I'm Crystal! I've been an animal caretaker my whole life — mainly dogs, but growing up we had everything: dogs, cats, rats, snakes, a pig, a goat, turkeys, chickens, ducks, horses, turtles, and fish. I started really doing the work of caring for them around age 9, so I have about 15 years of hands-on experience. As an adult I've had a dog, a few cats, and some chickens. Currently I have Cocoa (my dog), my cats Tigre, Princess Cecelia, and Blue, and 2 chickens. Because I've handled so many different species over the years, I'm comfortable with all kinds of animals and personalities: shy rescues, rowdy puppies, picky cats, you name it. What sets me apart is all that variety — most sitters know dogs and cats, but I've cared for just about everything, so very little surprises me. Your pet will be in experienced, confident hands. I work from home running my own business, so I'm home most of the day and my schedule is flexible. That means lots of company, playtime, and potty breaks for boarding guests, and I can usually fit walks and drop-ins around your timing. Just message me and we'll make it work! Every owner and pet is a little different, so I start with a calm, tidy environment and let the pet set the pace. Once they get comfortable, there's more play and energy, but if they're shy, I'll never push it or do anything that scares them or makes them uneasy. I'll keep you updated on how your pet is doing throughout the stay or walk, so you never have to worry.

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 $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $99 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 November 2026, there are 2,233 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Layton. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
