“Love having Susan and Madeline watch our Frenchie. We can leave knowing she will be loved and watched over as if she was there own. Our dog ate everyday we were gone, which is wonderful because she has been super anxious in kennels and other sitters. We will for sure be booking again!”
“Kaylee was so helpful and great with my dogs. It’s so nice to know they are well taken care off! She is a quick communicator and very thorough. Thank you - we’ll see you again soon”
“Ariah did a great job ❤️ & followed my instructions to my preference for my lab!, I was worried mainly about him getting his medication but she kept me at ease during my time away! I will definitely use her again 😁. THANK YOU AGAIN!”
“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.”
“Kaylee was so good with our two pups, and kept us updated. With the ease scheduling and fantastic care she gave, I will definitely rebook with Kaylee! I have never seen them look so relaxed and happy after a trip. So so much better than boarding. Thanks again, Kaylee!”
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.
About: Hello, I've had cats, and some kittens, almost my entire life! I love them and understand their cues. I enjoy interacting with them and grooming as well. I've taken care of friend's dogs while they are on vacation and enjoy taking them on walks and playing with them! I am a stay at home mom, with all 3 of my children in school. I can work weekdays between 9am and 1pm. Possibly evenings. I know how to brush cats, clip their nails, change the litter, feed, water, and play with them. I have my own car, so I am reliable. I have cared for 3 different dogs while my friends were on vacation multiple times. I love playing with dogs and keeping them company.
About: I have loved animals my whole life and have been pet sitting for a year now! I don’t ask for very much money as I am mostly doing this to spend time with animals (but money would be nice) I am free whenever! I am not attending college currently so I have all the time in the world! I can even pull all nighters for neonatal kittens :) I am not currently accepting pet care in my home but I promise to keep yours safe! I will keep the doors locked, clean if needed, and not answer the door to strangers!
“Caitie is great! She did an excellent job taking care of our cats. One of our cats is very skittish and hides the whole time anyone new is around. She was out of hiding and playing with Caitie by day two, which is completely unheard of. Caitie kept our place very clean and was excellent at communicating with us. 10/10 highly recommend”
“Martina was incredible! She really put the extra effort in with taking care of our pup! He can be pretty shy around new people, and she was able to be patient with him and work her way into him being comfortable around her and her family. I will definitely be using her in the future when we need to! She loves animals and they know it! Thank you Martina!”
About: I have worked in a boarding facility as well as had my own dogs for the last 8 years, I'm a helicopter pet parent, any change in behavior and I'm immediately on it making sure my pets are happy and safe. My availability is completely open currently as I am a stay at home pet parent due to my own pups anxiety and special needs. I can accommodate any schedule with the proper communication. I have a fenced patio and I will make sure to walk your pet every couple of hours. I also have 2 very friendly pups of my own for company. Can provide crate as well if needed.
About: I've worked with animals in one form or another since I was 15. I've volunteered at shelters and humane societies, helped neighbors, family and friends. I willing to get dirty and make sure your pet has a great time, whether it's a nice long walk or a good scratch. I'm currently a stay at home mom and online student. Looking for anything throughout the day or in the evening. I have two friendly German Shepherds that love playing with new friends if you allow. I'm also willing to check in on them at your home as well. I have a fenced yard as well as an air conditioned house when it's just too hot out. We have kids pools, hoses, dog toys and a lot of love for fur babies. I use the positive reinforcement methods to help veer them towards making the right decisions, LOL. I will treat your pet as I do my own, the same respect and care they all deserve.
“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.”
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: Hi! I’m a military family member living right here on Hill AFB, and I’d love to welcome your fur baby into my home! 🐾 I live in a comfortable 3-bedroom home with a fully fenced backyard, giving your pup plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away. My wife also lives with me, so your pup will have a loving, comfortable home environment. I have an 8-year-old Black Lab named Bleu and a 3-year-old domestic shorthair cat named Scat. Both are part of the family and are used to having other animals around. 🐶🐱 I understand that life doesn’t always go according to plan. Work trips, vacations, last-minute changes, emergencies, or simply needing someone you trust to watch your pup can happen with very little notice. I’m happy to work with different schedules whenever I can because I know how important it is to have someone reliable you can count on. My goal is simple: treat your dog like they’re one of mine. ❤️ I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of dogs as long as they’re house-trained, dog- and cat-friendly, and not food aggressive. Outside of those basics, I’m pretty easygoing! I’m happy to follow your normal routines, feeding instructions, medication schedules, crate preferences, and whatever helps your pup feel comfortable. While you’re away, you can expect plenty of attention, a safe home environment, backyard time, and lots of love and cuddles. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you don’t have to wonder what your fur baby is up to. 📸🐾 Whether you need a sitter for a planned vacation or something comes up at the last minute, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furbaby! Rover Profile Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I’m already used to the daily responsibilities that come with caring for pets, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, and all the little things that help pets feel comfortable and happy. One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that pets will have someone around throughout the day, so they won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to give them plenty of attention, keep an eye on them, and make sure they stay on their normal routine while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treating every pet like part of the family. I’m happy to follow your instructions closely, keep their routine as consistent as possible, and give them plenty of love, attention, and care while they’re in my home. 🐾 Boarding & Daycare For boarding and daycare, I treat every pet that stays with me like part of the family. 🐾 My home is their home away from home, and I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, happy, and on as close to their normal routine as possible. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, play, and plenty of room to stretch their legs. Throughout the day, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and downtime. For cats, I provide a calm and comfortable environment where they can relax, explore at their own pace, and receive plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual feeding schedule, medication instructions, crate routine, sleeping arrangements, and any other care instructions you provide. I also understand that every pet has a different personality — some want to play all day, some want constant cuddles, and some simply want a quiet place to nap. I’m happy to meet each pet where they’re most comfortable. Pets staying with me will have regular supervision and companionship throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can relax knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and being well cared for. ❤️
“Brylee was kind and professional when we met to introduce her to the cats. I'm so glad we hired her, I didn't worry about if they were being taken care of, and the cats warmed up to her over the week, which”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Layton
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Layton is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $32 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 November 2026, there are 3,482 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Layton. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
