“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!”
“Lexi came to stay with my two boys last weekend and did a great job! I have a Malinois with no concept of personal space and a geriatric dog that has difficulty going up the two flights of stairs to my apartment and she handled both amazingly! I got tons of photos during her stay and when I got home the boys were happy and healthy! 🙌🏼”
About: 🐾 New to Rover, Not to Pet Care! Hi, I’m Shelby! 👋 Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 12+ years. From playful puppies to senior pets and those with special needs, I provide patient, reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. ❤️ As a Direct Support Professional, caring for others is what I do every day. You can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and treat your pets like family. ✨ What you can expect: 🐶 12+ years of pet care experience 💊 Medication administration 🐾 Experience with puppies, seniors & special needs 📸 Frequent photo updates 🚶 Walks, playtime & enrichment 💙 Lots of love, cuddles, and personalized care I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel overwhelming. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! 🐕🐈 I work full time swings typically 3p-10/12p it varies during the week. When I’m not working I’m a home body so your pets will have company with them most of the morning. I do know my schedule usually a month in advance so I am able to let you know before you officially book and you can decide if it works for you. I prefer to stay in their home which allows them to stay comfortable and in their own environment, new places can cause fur babies unnecessary stress and no one wants that. I prefer to keep their routine as normal as possible as well so if they get fed at 5 am I set an alarm to ensure they get fed at their normal time 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.”
“I appreciated the fact Mackenzie was able to do this at the last minute, as I was planning a "working vacation" and was unable to contact a friend to do this as well as having others on Rover.com not able or interested. Primarily to stay overnight with my two cats, who did enjoy her company, she did all I asked of her.”
“Aubree was absolutely wonderful! We have two dogs and three cats, and she did an amazing job caring for all of them while we were away. She was incredibly sweet, communicative, and clearly cared about our pets as if they were her own. She sent lots of photos and updates throughout her stay, which we really appreciated and made it so easy to know our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She also left our home very clean and tidy, and everything was exactly as we left it when we returned. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would happily book Aubree again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Bailey was the sweetest thing and we were very grateful she could accommodate us through the weekend. She was very responsive every time we reached out via text and we appreciate her meeting us in advance to introduce the pups to her.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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. :)”
“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!”

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.
About: I have grown up taking care of cats and dogs, and am comfortable around animals of all sizes and ages. I am reliable and detail oriented. I work 7:30-4:30 and have MMA Monday, Wednesday, and Friday until 6, but I’m free after that and have open availability on weekends. I care for pets in their own home where they will be most comfortable. I am always respectful of the house rules and clients preferences for how the pet is taken care of.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and love caring for pets of all ages and breeds! I’ve cared for my parents’ Lab/Border Collie mix and many friends’ pets. I’m familiar with basic dog training and understand the exercise, patience, and attention pets need. I’d love to care for your furry friend! I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to give your furry friend plenty of love and attention. I have main-floor living and access to a shared fenced in neighborhood yard. When dog sitting I typically offer 1–3 walks per day, with potty and play breaks as often as every 30 minutes! I have a fenced in yard which is shared with my neighbors. Dogs are required to be on leash at all times, it’s perfect for a quick walk for a potty break and I live very close to a park which is perfect for playing. I cover my furniture with sheets so pets are welcomed on any furniture!

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.
