“This is the 3rd time that I had Susan and Maddy come and do drop-in visits for our cat, Cayenne. As always, they were exceptional and Cayenne really enjoys their company 🧡🐈 . We HIGHLY recommend them to any of you looking for pet assistance ❤️”
“Tammy and her husband were wonderful with our dogs. They gave extra care and attention to specifics that we gave for each dog. Definitely recommend using her/them.”
“Booked again, and as always, Miko was well taken care of. I appreciate the updates and pictures while I’m away, great pictures btw, brings peace of mind. Thank you for going above and beyond and taking time to supervise Miko outside, which is his favorite. He loves going outside several times a day, and it meant a lot that they were so patient and attentive with him. Thank you again for always following instructions carefully and taking such thoughtful care of Miko. Very grateful!”
“Anna was amazing! She was very communicative and sent daily pictures of my pets. I appreciated her flexibility and understanding of my kitties unique needs. She will be my go-to sitter in the future.”
“Shayla is the best.!! She just loves our puppies and they love her too. She went above and beyond with our dogs. Not only did she come over and feed them, but gave them treats, fresh water and took them for walks twice a day. We highly recommend her for your pets. She is awesome!!🐶🐕😍”
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.
“Elizabeth has watched my dog Bodi several times now. She is great and Bodi loves when she comes by! She treats him like her own dogs and takes him on little adventures. You can’t go wrong with her. I’ll definitely be using her again.”
“Anna was such a great help while we were gone on Vacation! Not only was she extremely patient and flexible, but also prompt, professional, and an excellent communicator. She played with and fed our babies as well as giving them special medicine. We looked forward to her check in pictures every day. She also took care of our plants! Thank you so much, Anna! 💕”
About: Happy to say we have 15 happy years of wagging tails, caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. Experienced in training, long walks, and boarding. Aiden and I provide loving and reliable care. We make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and valued while you’re away, giving plenty of attention, playtime, and affection tailored to their personality. Pet care fits perfectly into our schedule, especially when one of us is home from school and work having a four legged friend to keep us company is always the best! In our home, pets are treated like family. We provide a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, structured routines, and supervision to keep them happy and comfortable, as well as our own furry pup, charlie to keep them company. Its also important to know, Jamie and Aiden (the two of us in the profile picture) work together to ensure that someone is always present with the pets. This allows us to provide a consistently safe and attentive environment.
About: Pets are members of our family, and our family deserves to be taken care of. I absolutely adore animals, I have pets of my own, and they are my whole world. I have an adorable Maltese named Fizzgig and a Black Cat named Thackery Binx. Prior to this dog, I had a Maltese named Tinkerbell. I just want to be able to care for other animals as I have cared for mine. We all have responsibilities that keep us away from home most days, and we want to be sure our little fur babies are well-cared for in our absence. I can promise you that I will provide to their every need, and maybe even spoil them a little bit! I’m a published author, and I spend way too much time locked up inside writing. I need to get out and walk and have a break from the soul-sucking experience of sitting in front of the screen all day. I hate sitting idle. I have too much energy. Dogs have too much energy. It's a perfect match! I need something else to keep me moving in a day, and playing with precious animals seems like the perfect job! I can crate or leash dogs to ensure they will not run away, and if your cat is exclusively a house cat, I am well accustomed to keeping those quick felines from darting outdoors.
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.
“We have had Amanda watch our dog three times and each time she has done a great job. She has been prompt and provided information and pictures with each of her visits. We have contacted her with late notice and she always makes it work. We are very appreciative of her hard work!”
About: I raised my puppy Maple for 7 years until she died of cancer last year. I would love to hangout with your animals. I am young, love dogs, and willing to go on walks galore. I have a regular 9-4ish. So I would love to work on weekends and do overnights if that is what is needed from you. I am mobile and willing to keep the dog in a familiar environment. I do not invite animals to my house because I have limited space. If you are interested in drop ins and overnight care at your house I am very flexible for those throughout the week and weekends
“Jazlyn was so great. I needed someone to give my kitty oral medication while I was on a work trip. She was able to work things out with her schedule and I know she made my kitty feel really comfortable and it was a good experience because all the other time Jazlyn came to check up the kitty wasn't hiding and would come straight to her. She also did a great job of sending me pictures which I absolutely love.”
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.

Lexi did a wonderful job taking care of my cat, Indy, while I was away for the weekend. She was communicative through every step of the process and sent detailed notes back after every visit to keep me informed about Indy’s status. All of Indy’s food/water/litter needs were well-tended to in my absence, as were her social needs. When I came home, she was the most relaxed I’ve ever seen her after a trip. Lexi truly went above and beyond in the care she provided and even made an extra trip out to ensure my spare key was safely returned. I so appreciate the peace of mind while I was traveling and am so grateful to return to a clean apartment and calm, happy cat. Thank you, Lexi! 🐈⬛
Jada was super sweet & responsive! She sent pics of our Luna everyday while we were gone and was quick to answer our questions and follow any instructions we gave. Luna’s litter box and food bowl area were clean when we got home and she looked well-cared for!
Sarah was great! Had no issues, and she was able to deal with my excitable dog Echo and the other pets just fine. My super shy kitty Oliver even came out while she was there, which was very surprising since he is so skittish. We came back to a clean house and litterboxes. Love the Rover updates and photos, it was nice to see how the pets were doing and know that they're being taken care of.
Mary is amazing, I had plans and had to last-minute arrange a visit for my dog. I was pretty unresponsive during his visit without meaning to be, but Mary was checking in and proactive about asking anything she'd need to take good care of him. So appreciative!!
Amber provided amazing care for our cat while we were out of town for a few days! We were so relieved our cat warmed up to her right away as he is very picky about who he lets in his space. He has his own way of letting us know if he wants pets or not and she was very good at reading his cues and body language. She is very communicative and sent us a lot of pictures and videos while we were gone. Definitely would recommend!
Shayla is the best!!! She is so nice and she takes such good care of our two mini golden doodles. We have her come twice a day. She is there on time, she walks them around the neighborhood to get exercise. She cleans the dogs eyes and put drops in them. She chops up their food for them. She gives them a lot of love and scratches. I love when she sends us pictures. I will always have her as their babysitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Layton is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $33 per visit. 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 3,511 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Layton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
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.
