“Betty was awesome! She was very attentive to our dog and his needs. She sent us photos and updates every day, and adhered to our dog’s schedule and routine. She’s a trustworthy & responsible person, and we will definitely book her services again.”
“Madison is WONDERFUL. She creates a very positive first impression. We left for the weekend feeling 100% confident that our pups were in good hands. She is an excellent communicator and took great care of our three dogs. We returned to happy pups! She went above and beyond by cleaning up, too! We feel very fortunate that Madison is working with Rover. We'll contact her first for our next adventure. Thank you, Madison!”
“Michelle is the best! If you are hesitating to go on a vacation because you don’t know who could take exceptional care of your pet- Michelle is your answer. She pays attention to every detail, sends informative updates of the daily activities with photos and will give your pet lots of snuggles. Our home was spotless too. My only regret was that I only had her booked for a three day trip! I am looking forward to booking her again soon! Thank you Michelle!🤗”
“Tawny was so attentive to my two high maintenance pups! He was attentive, responsible, kind, flexible, loving, organized, super clean, and fun. It is abundantly clear that Tawny is an animal lover, and he is a natural with dogs. He was with my two dogs for almost a full week, and they were safe and happy when I got home!”
“Emma did great with our senior dog and provided daily updates and photos. She made us feel really confident with all the questions she asked upfront about his routine, medications, and comfort needs. It was clear she genuinely cared about keeping him happy and stress-free while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Emma again.”
“Danielle was great. Came home and I could tell Chinook had been cared for with love. I'll reach out to Danielle again when headed out of town. If you need a sitter or walk, she's the one.”
“Heather has house-sat my two Heelers and cat multiple times now and she’s been amazing every time. She communicates great and sends adorable photos/videos. I always know my babies are in good hands when I leave town!”
“We are so happy with Lena! Lena was always quick to respond and always stayed in touch with updates! Our pup Maizie was so settled when we returned home so we knew she must not have felt stressed during our time away which of course is such a relief! We will not hesitate to reach out to Lena the next time we need a sitter!”
About: I love dogs, cats and parrots. I have experience feeding, bathing, walking, playing and caring for friends, neighbors and my own animals. I know how important your fur babies are to you and I would love and treat your pet family as if they were my own. I have had 4 dogs for 12 years and 4 parrots for 25 years. I especially love to interact with animals getting on their level to play and cuddle. I love to walk and would play with them outside as they like. I know food can be so important. One of my strengths is organization and would follow feeding and any other instructions to the letter. I am happy to provide daily updates and pictures to give you peace of mind. Your home will be treated with care and left better than it was found. I work weekends and can spend time everyday with your pets. I am a chef and run my own business so when I am working I can take a break to check on your pets. My evenings are free and I can help your pet keep the routine they are used to. I have a fenced in yard and a fur baby who keeps to himself. There is plenty of space to run and play and also nap.
About: I have cared for multiple dogs for multiple days, over holidays and weekends. I’m good to take them on long walks or chill with them on the couch, whatever they prefer. I am notorious for picking up lost dogs and returning them to their loving homes safely. I am currently a college student with classes not starting until later in the day, so I am looking for some work and care to give. I’m excellent at completing tasks you may need. If your pet is on a scheduled meal time, no need to fret. Or maybe they want to be let out at 7am sharp, I’ve got you covered. I can also water your plants while i’m at it or take out the trash.
“Christina did a fantastic job watching Hank and Milo. She followed my instructions to a tee and I came back to a spotless house and very happy pups. I would definitely hire her again.”
About: Hi! I'm Sofia, and I'd love to become your dog's new favorite sitter! As a lifelong animal lover, I know that pets are family. When you're away, my goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. I'm currently returning to school to earn my master's degree, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of quality time and attention to the pets in my care. Pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy because it combines my love of animals with spending time outdoors and helping fellow pet owners. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, as well as small animals like guinea pigs. I take the time to learn each pet's routine so they feel comfortable, secure, and right at home. One of my favorite things to do is explore Utah's beautiful trails. If your dog enjoys adventures, I'd love to take them on dog-friendly hikes or nature walks with your permission. My friendly Shih Tzu, Lucy, often joins us on walks and hikes and loves making new friends. If your dog prefers one-on-one outings or does better without another dog, I'm always happy to accommodate that. Every walk is tailored to your dog's personality, energy level, and your preferences, with safety always coming first. When your pet is with me, you can expect: 🐾 Plenty of love, attention, and playtime 📸 Frequent photo and video updates 🚶 Walks, hikes, and activities tailored to your dog's needs 💊 Medication administration if needed 🍽️ Careful attention to feeding schedules and special instructions ❤️ Patient, positive, and compassionate care My professional background in healthcare administration and education has taught me to be dependable, organized, and an excellent communicator. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog loves adventures, belly rubs, or simply having a companion while you're away, I'll treat them like one of my own. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I look forward to getting to know you both. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I'm currently returning to school for my master's degree, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to plan my days around the pets I'm caring for. My own Shih Tzu, Lucy, gets daily walks, playtime, and lots of attention, so caring for dogs is already built into my routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors, whether that's neighborhood walks, hikes, or trips to dog-friendly parks. If your dog enjoys adventures, I'm happy to include them (with your permission). I also make time throughout the day for feeding, enrichment, potty breaks, cuddles, and, of course, plenty of photo updates for owners. I believe pets thrive when they have consistency, attention, and exercise, so I make it a priority to provide all three while they're in my care. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible by keeping them on their normal routine. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any special needs or preferences. I make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, playtime, and mental enrichment throughout the day. If your dog enjoys being active, I'm happy to provide neighborhood walks, nature walks, or dog-friendly hikes with your permission. My friendly Shih Tzu, Lucy, often joins us on walks and loves making new friends, but I'm equally happy to provide one-on-one outings if that's a better fit for your dog. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I'll keep your home clean, provide regular updates with photos and videos, and make sure your pet feels safe and loved until you return. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is receiving the same level of care, affection, and attention they would receive from family.
“Sarah was the best pet sitter ever! Even the dogs loved her so much and she loved them! She stayed with them all the time and she would send us updates and pictures everyday, she would feed them and play with them and on top of all of that we came back to the house even cleaner then how we left it! She even came so early at 6:30 because we asked if she could and she was amazing! Our little puppy isn't the best with new people but he absolutely fell in love with Sarah! I definitely recommend her to anyone if they want a pet sitter i will definitely be booking her the next time I travel!”
“We had such a great experience with Meisha from start to finish! Meisha was so communicative before and during our trip and sent lots of pictures and updates. It felt so good to know that our pets were safe, happy, and cared for while we were away. And Meisha left the house cleaner than we did! We would be thrilled to have Meisha take care of our pets again and highly recommend her!”
“Emily is fantastic. She made sure all of Kodas needs were met while watching her, including taking her for hikes and trips to the dog park! It’s always reassuring knowing Koda is having fun and getting exercise when I have to travel for work. Emily was easy to communicate with and left the house very tidy. I’ll definitely be utilizing Emily’s services again.”

Glad you liked it! Here’s a slightly shorter version: Katherine was an amazing dog sitter! While I was out of town, she gave my dog so much love, attention, and care. I received daily updates, photos, and it was clear she went above and beyond. There was plenty of outdoor time, great walks, and fun adventures. The best compliment I can give is that I think I came home to a happier, even better-behaved dog. To top it off, my house was absolutely immaculate when I returned. It gave me complete peace of mind, and I would absolutely trust Katherine again and recommend her without hesitation.
I was very stressed about leaving my cat and dog with a sitter for the first time but Danielle eased all my stresses with updates and pictures every day. Our animals seemed comfortable and happy in all of the pictures. She left our house immaculate. When we had to make a last minute change to our plans, Danielle was very easy to work with to accommodate the change. She also responded to messages quickly. I would recommend Danielle to anyone and will definitely use her services again. Thank you, Danielle!!!!
I had the best experience using Elizandro to watch my dog. Loved how he interacted with her and my dog loved him right off the bat and she’s picky! I also truly appreciated his help around the house and willingness to roll with the punches on a bit of a crazy morning. Will def use again!! Thank you! 🙏
Abby was patient with my nervous/anxious/reactive pup. Her care and consideration made the process of leaving on a trip less stressful. She got out with my dogs to antelope island and I got lots of photos of the dogs having fun! I got lots of photos and updates throughout my trip which I appreciated considering I was 2000 miles away! I would recommend and would be happy to book with her again :)
Emily was a fantastic dog sitter! She is very easy to coordinate with and sent text/picture updates daily. She took my dog to the reservoir and on walks at the park in addition to spending time with him in-between. I was very content to know my pup was in good hands. I’d highly recommend her to anyone and would definitely hire her again!
We love Karlla!! My sweet old cat was happy and comfortable while we were away. She was very calm and relaxed when we got back. Karlla also took great care of our space and made sure plants were watered and hummingbirds were fed. We would absolutely recommend her and have her back for another stay. Thanks Karlla!!!
Emily was very communicative and sent pictures/videos throughout the entire trip. She even went above and beyond with housesitting duties, including washing sheets. I was out of cell phone service most of the time I was gone, and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in Emily’s care! Royce clearly had a wonderful time with her and I will definitely book again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Murray on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,862 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Murray. 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 Murray 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 Murray 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 Murray 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
