“jillian was there when we needed her and sat with our pups while we had to take care of medical issues… the pups bonded with her immediately… They werw sad when she left.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. Ive always had pets in the house and I have always had responsibilities to take care of them. Our 14 year old husky/heeler mix just crossed the rainbow bridge but we had him since he was 8 weeks old so dont worry if your babies are loud and rowdy I can handle it. I also have a sweet 2 year old corgi who is basically a toddler and a t-rex combined. I have two adorable cats who I love. I have house sat for family members for the past 5-6 years and love getting to spend time with their animals. I currently work full time but I leave early (usually around 6:30 am) and get back early (usually about 4:00pm) but weekends im all yours!! So there is plenty of time for play! I will follow your schedule as needed. I know how important it is to keep things at home as stable as possible when it comes to your pets! But dont worry there will be lots of love and playtime!!
“Brianna is amazing! She has come over several times for meet and greets to get to know my dogs. One of my pups can be difficult with her nervousness and separation anxiety. Briana has been kind, patient, and wonderful with both of them. She communicates well, responds quickly, and is always early or on time for scheduled sitting. Highly recommended! 💯🐕🐕”
“Makayla dog sat at our house for a week and did a great job. We felt at ease knowing that our pup was being taken care of. She sent photo updates. She was responsive and communicative and very polite. Will hire again!”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kimberly. We booked the week prior for an overnight so we could take a quick trip to CO for a concert. Kimberly was friendly & communicative the week leading up to the booking and checked in the evening before. She arrived at 6:30 am with such a warm energy and immediately won the pups over. Grimm seemed instantly attached to her! It was very sweet. I was a bit worried since it was our first time using Rover, & the first time leaving the boys with someone other than their grandparents. We felt comfortable with Kimberly right off the bat and we knew our boys were in good hands. I loved that she sent lots of photos & videos while we were away & let us know how well they were doing. She followed all care instructions perfectly. She even left us beautiful flowers she cut from her garden. I would 100% trust Kimberly to care for my furbabies again in the future. I feel blessed to have found and connected with such a good human. Thank you Kimberly! 💛🐾”
About: I have cared for dogs, cats, and rodents since I was 10 years old, and my love for animals has only grown more over the years. I understand that every pet is unique and has different needs. I offer each animal the patience and respect they need to feel safe and build trust with me. I do not have a set schedule with my regular job, and I work on average of 5 hours on days I do work. I will be available to check on your during nights if I'm not sleeping over if you need me to! I will not be hosting pet sitting at my place. Set up and show me how your pets feel comfortable in their environment. Tell me about your pet's personality(ies) and their boundaries! 😊
About: I absolutely love animals! I have experience with having up to 30 dogs in one yard and understand their body language to avoid fights and tiffs. I would love to help care for your fur babies to make sure they are happy and healthy! I have open availability mornings on weekdays! Evenings sometime are a little more tricky for me. If you are in need for help over a weekend reach out! I might be able to! 😁 I love making sure your pet is happy, safe and healthy. I have close attention to detail if you have any concerns, stuff to be aware of or things to be checked up on.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. I have house trained puppies and taken care of senior dogs as well. Love to go on hikes to socialize dogs. With a part time job I now have mornings free and would like to spend time with helping out furry friends get out more and enjoy fresh air. Caring for pets is very important to me. Which is why I like to arrive about five minutes early and have treats for encouragement. Pete and be weary of strangers so I will also be arriving a bit early for them to get to know me as well.
About: I will love your pets like they are my own. I have the strength to deal with big dogs and the energy to play with little dogs. And I will give cats my whole heart, I cant have cats so I love to spend time with them. I am currently just a college student so I have ample available hours to watch your pets. Monday through Friday, ask me anytime I will be willing :) I have a fenced medium sized yard, and I like ro take my dogs on 1-2 walks a day depending on my schedule for the day.
“Our dog and chickens were well cared for during her stay at our house! She provided a ton of photos and communication throughout the week and really went above and beyond. We returned to a clean home and happy animals. I cannot recommend Xochilt enough!”
“Elan is Amazing! Our dog is a shelter rescue, and has difficulty opening up and trusting strangers. Elan demonstrated incredible patience and understanding with her. He was outstanding caring for her while we were away for a week. He sent several updates throughout the week, which was great for us to see. 10/10. We would highly recommend Elan, and will definitely look to use his services again in the future.”
About: I've raised my dog Fulton, a pomeranian for 10 years, through the puppy stage and into his senior years. That's taught me how much routines, energy levels, and needs change over a dog's life, and how to adjust walks to match. What you can expect: On-time walks with a photo and update after every visit Routes suited to your dog's energy, from city parks to red rock trails Clear communication through the Rover app, start to finish I split my time between Salt Lake City and southern Utah, so check my calendar or send a message to book a Meet and Greet. I work for myself, so my schedule is flexible and I can usually fit walks in during the day, including midday breaks. I split my time between Salt Lake City and southern Utah, and I keep my Rover calendar current so you always know when I'm in your area. Walks start and end at your home. Before the first walk, we'll do a Meet and Greet so I can learn your dog's routine, leash habits, and any triggers. On every walk I: -Use your dog's leash and harness, double-checked before we head out -Avoid busy roads and adjust for heat, cold, and trail conditions -Keep your dog away from unfamiliar dogs unless you've said it's okay -Lock up behind me and send a photo and update when we're done
“Christine was amazing with our Frenchies! She was super communicative which was appreciated while we were away and missing our “kids”. She sent daily photos/videos and updates of their well-being and activities. She was very active in giving the pups the exercise that they needed and never fell short of their much needed cuddles and attention. Christine followed instructions extremely well, even with a complicated meal time routine and separate needs for each dog. She also easily navigated the instructions of our home, including the doggy cam, etc. She left her home in excellent shape, looking as if no one was ever here. I would highly recommend her to anyone for excellent care of your fur baby and your home! Thanks Christine!”

“WOW! This was our first time using Rover. Larissa was amazing. She sent us pictures and videos of our little Yorkie. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again. Thanks Larissa!”
About: Hi, I’m Jay, and my wife Cindy is a full-time mom to our teenage daughter and our dog. Cindy grew up on a farm, which sparked her lifelong love for animals and plants. Over the years, we’ve cared for two Havanese dogs and a yellow Labrador Retriever. We currently have a very sweet female Havanese who gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Our daughter also loves playing with dogs and takes great care of them. We have a spacious, fenced yard where your small dog can play safely. We only accept hypoallergenic or non-shedding breeds. We generally welcome dogs weighing between 3 and 20 pounds and allow them to lounge on our couches. However, for safety reasons, we cannot accommodate aggressive dogs, so you may need to find another sitter in that case. Cindy is a full-time stay-at-home mom, so dogs in our care receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Our whole family genuinely loves having dogs around, and we treat every pup as part of our family while they’re with us. We’re happy to provide dog beds, bowls, toys, and a crate if needed. We’re typically available 24/7 and always make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Hello! I’m Jay’s wife, Cindy. I start my mornings at 6 AM by heading out to the backyard with the dogs, and I love making sure they’re well cared for throughout the day. Mealtime is one of my favorite moments with them, so if you have any specific requests regarding your dog’s food, please feel free to let me know anytime! When dogs visit for the first time, they often want to go outside to the backyard every 30 minutes to an hour. This is usually because they are curious and exploring their new environment, seeking comfort in open spaces, marking their territory, or simply adjusting their bathroom habits while settling in. I enjoy spending time outside with the dogs, watching them explore and playing fetch—especially when the weather is nice. Even when they’re just roaming around the backyard, I always keep an eye on them to ensure they’re safe. When it’s time for a nap, I let the dogs rest peacefully while I send updates to their owners. I love being home all day, sharing my time with the dogs and my family. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or needs some extra attention, I always tailor their care to ensure they’re comfortable and happy. Caring for dogs has been a big part of my life. Over the past five years, I’ve raised and nurtured dozens of Havanese and Labrador Retriever puppies before helping them find their forever homes. I also have a passion for photography! With my background in film, video production, and visual effects design, I love capturing special moments of the dogs through photos. I’m always happy to adjust to your dog’s preferences and needs, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any special requests or questions!
“Sam came and stayed in our home with our 2 dogs for just over a week. She was so sweet when we met her we knew our boys would be in good hands. We returned to find happy dogs and a clean house. Thank you Sam. We will be using you again.”
“Elizabeth was great! We needed a last minute sitter since our previously booked person had an emergency and cancelled unexpectedly. Elizabeth was very easy to communicate and coordinate with, and Obi was very well taken care of!”

Jillian is the best dog sitters we have ever had! She watched our three dogs in our home for 2 nights and 3 whole days. I never once felt worried about our dogs or our home while we were gone. She stayed in communication with us and sent plenty of pictures and gave us updates about how they were doing. We would most definitely hire her again to watch our dogs and we highly recommend her!

The average cost of House Sitting in Mills Junction is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $61 and $61 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.

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 Mills Junction 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 Mills Junction 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 Mills Junction 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
