“Matthew did a great job watching our boys! They both need some time to warm up to new people and can be really difficult on walks. Matthew was patient and communicative, we are so thankful, we have already rebooked!”
“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!”
“All of our pets and house were so well taken care of while we were on vacation. I really appreciated Ashley’s updates while we were gone as well. I will definitely be rebooking her when we need a pet or house sitter!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! She stayed in our home the entire time with our dogs and took excellent care of them. She was incredibly respectful of our space, kept the house very clean, and followed everything we asked. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were well cared for while we were away. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and responsible sitter.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for around five years. I will make sure your dog is well loved and cared for. I will take them on lots of walks, and like I said, give them lots of love. I’m currently in school working towards my x-ray degree. I have class Monday, Wednesday at five and Thursdays I’m unavailable all day. Any other time I’m completely available to give your dog lots of love and all the walks that they need. As of right now, I’m living in an apartment with lots of grass, but no fenced backyard. But I will take them on lots and lots of walks.
About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my whole life and now have one 16 year old cat (who has been around dogs his whole life), an 8 year old mini Aussie, and a 7 year old healer/aussie mix. All of my fur babies get along with other animals and we love to play. A tired pup is a happy pup! I typically work 8-4 but have flexibility. I have a fully fenced, large backyard so I prefer animals to come to my place but I’m also willing to go check in on or walk pets at other locations. My dogs have a gotten use to not having a schedule so they are very adaptable to other pets schedule needs. I live alone so I will be very involved and attentive.
“Our usual dog sitter had to cancel on us last minute, so we were in a bind trying to find someone else to care for our sweet, special needs dog with less than a weeks notice. Big ask, especially last minute. Brandi was so quick to respond, happy to take on the job, and asked really good questions to ensure our doggo was well taken care of while we were gone. She sent pictures throughout our trip and made sure he had his medications at the times he needed them, and even took him to get a pup cup. She not only took great care of our dog, but our house as well. We came back to the house as we left it. She was kind, reliable, and we absolutely loved working with her. We will definitely be reaching out to her again.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Zoe’s incredible care for our baby doggie, Caramel, while we were away on a family trip to Hawaii! From the moment we left, we knew Caramel was in the best hands. Zoe treated her like royalty, giving her so much love and snuggles that it almost made us jealous! We especially appreciated the regular updates, complete with photos of Caramel’s adorable antics and health check-ins. It brought us so much peace of mind knowing our sweet girl was happy and thriving while we were away. Zoe went above and beyond in every way, and we can’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pet as much as you do, Zoe is the one!”
About: I grew up with a mixed Border Collie and assisted in helping him learn tricks, and control his barking when people came to put door! I have since have cared for my sister’s two dogs and a friend’s dog, with a lot of experience with other dogs and animals throughout the years. I love how loyal dogs are, and their desire to have fun at any moment! I am currently able to dog walk between 3-10pm on weekdays in West Haven, and with notice I have full availability in Lehi on Fridays and Saturdays. I would love to ensure I leave your home as it was or cleaner after my provided services! I want to provide care that feels like you weren’t ever gone and your home and animals were taken care of.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs around my neighborhood, my own dogs, family friends and community trust me with their pets I love being around animals and I treat them like they are my own ! I am currently working part-time so I have a lot of free time and would love spending it by doing something i enjoy and I love I have a fenced yard and let’s the dogs play and have fun in my yard and the neighbors dogs always keep eachother company as I watch them
“Ali was amazing! She took great care of our pups and kept us up to date and in the loop. We came home and she left the house clean as well! We would definitely book with her again. 🙂”
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: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! Last year, I even completed a service project focused on educating others about the importance of pet enrichment and proper care. I’ll treat your furry friend like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way! I am currently a student at Weber state studying elementary education so I have my student teaching from 8am-11am. I am often available outside of these times. Your pet is safe with me, pets will stay leashed at all times unless we are in a safely locked environment. I also will practice recall often.
About: I have always had pets in my life. Whether it has been one of my own or one of my fur nephews and nieces, I’ve always had a pet to love! I do work full time Monday-Friday 9-5, but weekends are open! Between me and my fiancé, your baby will get lots of attention and love! 💕 We have one dog. His name is Bubba and he is a black lab/border collie mix. He is very good with other dogs! We’ve never had a problem with him. He hasn’t been around many cats in his life, but when he has been he just seems more curious than anything. We have a big fenced backyard! We allow pets on our furniture for all of the snuggles we can get! Right now, our friend’s dog Sis is staying with us. She is well behaved and minds her own. She’s good with other dogs. Just an old girl going blind and deaf and kind of just follows suit with Bubba and what he does and where he goes.
About: I have over 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician and over 5 years as a professional dog groomer, giving me a strong background in animal health, behavior, and care. I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for all kinds of animals. I’m comfortable working with puppies, senior pets, and animals with different personalities and needs. My veterinary background helps me recognize changes in behavior or signs that something may be wrong, while my grooming experience has taught me patience, gentleness, and how to make animals feel safe and comfortable. Above all, I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing loving, attentive, and reliable care! Can also provide nail trims! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to leave during the day as needed, so I can accommodate visits, walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the week. I’m also completely free on weekends, making me available for weekend sitting, overnight stays, and longer care needs. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine and keeps them happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! 🐾❤ With over 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician and 5+ years as a professional dog groomer, providing safe, loving, and attentive care for animals has always been a passion of mine! 🐾 I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for all kinds of pets, each with their own unique personalities and needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or simply giving them extra love and attention. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My veterinary background gives me experience recognizing changes in behavior and knowing when something may need extra attention. I’m also comfortable working with puppies, senior pets, and animals who need a little extra patience and care. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in experienced, trustworthy, and loving hands! ❤️🐶

Haylie was the perfect pet sitter! She was kind and resourceful in taking care of our dog, Cali. Cali has some serious anxiety. She struggles to allow anyone near her, but Haylie was able to give her all her medicines and even got her to eat. Although Cali is never aggressive, she does not return your kindness with friendliness - she mostly hides in her special place. Haylie understood and let Cali be Cali. Hailey also took good care of our chickens and our feral cat. If we need to travel again, I will be sure to call Hailey.
Jessica is wonderful! This was my first time having someone stay with Gatsby, and she made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. She sent great updates and the sweetest pictures throughout the stay, and it was such a relief to see Gatsby completely comfortable, relaxed, and just being himself with her. She followed his routine and medication instructions carefully, communicated really well, and took great care of both Gatsby and my home. I came home to a happy little guy! I’m so glad we found Jessica and am already looking forward to having her stay with Gatsby again.
Sophie was a wonderful sitter to our 2 old pups! She made sure they were fed and taken out. She had to give medicine to one of our dogs with each meal and she was great at making sure it was all done how they are used to it. She cleaned up after herself and anytime I had a question she responded promptly. I would absolutely hire Sophie again as a dog sitter!!
We contracted with Kerry to housesit with our 14.5 year old senior gal. Our last vacation was about eight years ago and we were very anxious about finding someone who would care for her with as much support as she’s used to receiving. Upon doing a meet & greet with Kerry, our fears were put to rest. After introducing himself, he immediately sat on the ground with our girl & waited patiently for her to approach him. He asked questions about her personality, habits, schedule, meals, etc while letting her get to know him. Between the meet & greet and our scheduled housesitting, they had several “walking dates” and soon grew familiar with each other. While we were out of town, Kerry sent photos and updates about walks, morning & evening routines, mealtimes, and he asked questions when necessary to ensure her needs and care were fully met. For anything that was a little new or unfamiliar, he took his time with her, giving her space & kindness to become comfortable with the activity. He also treated our home with respect. We’re so happy to have found Kerry! We would definitely recommend him for care, walks, housesitting for your furry family members. We’ll for sure work with him again.
Dawn did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was away for military duty. There was a slight hiccup and she immediately contacted me and we figured out the best fix for what was going on! She gave great updates and pictures of my dog while I was gone and I am looking forward to using Dawn again to watch my girl! 10/10, if I could give her more than 5 stars I would!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ogden is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $63 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 November 2026, there are 1,511 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ogden. 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 Ogden 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 Ogden 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 Ogden 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ogden. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
