“Stephanie was an amazing sitter! She connected with our doodle quickly during our meet & greet. I was completely confident leaving him in her care. Also, she was responsive and patient with us when we would ask about updates.”
“Samantha was so great! She was helpful and thoughtful taking care of things in our home based on situations that arose and used great common sense (a shockingly rare quality these days!). Our dog was happy and well cared for. Would absolutely book her again!”
“Emma has taken my dog on a couple walks and done an overnight, too! She did a great job, made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her, and I have already rebooked her again!”
“This was our first time using Jessica, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable and knew our dogs were in good hands. She was incredibly communicative throughout our trip and never made me feel like I was being a worry wart. She understood that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful and was always kind, responsive, and reassuring. Jessica took excellent care of our dogs, especially our French Bulldog, who requires extra attention in the Utah heat. She clearly took her responsibilities seriously, made sure they had plenty of potty and outdoor breaks, cleaned up after them, and paid close attention to their needs. She also took great care of our home, brought in our packages, and left everything just as we had hoped. We truly lucked out finding Jessica. We would absolutely book with her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy Rover sitter.”
“Betty was absolutely incredible and we feel so lucky to have found her. From getting to know our home and our pup’s personalities, to the sweet updates and thoughtfulness— we are so grateful to have come home to two tired and spoiled dogs. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“She was patient with our youngest dog who managed to get very messy twice in our backyard and she took the time to get her all cleaned up despite watching our 3 dogs for the week. 3 dogs can be a handful and she did wonderful.”
About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs through walking, in home sitting, while following routines that help our doggos feel safe. What sets me apart is my reliability, clear communication, and the care I take to understand each dog's individual needs, personality, and comfort level rather than treating visits as rushed check-ins. I intentionally structure my daily and weekly routine around pet care, allowing flexibility for walks, check-ins, and in home sitting while ensuring each dog receives reliable, unrushed attention. When caring for pets in a clients home, I treat both the pet and the space with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I take time to learn each dog's routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while away. Safety is always my top priority. I double check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions, and I stay attentive during walks and potty breaks to avoid stressful or unsafe situations. I keep a calm, consistent energy so pets feel at ease, especially those who experience anxiety when their owners are away. I'm mindful of your home environment as well, I keep things clean, follow house rules closely, and leave your space just as I found it (or better). I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing and can relax knowing they're in good hands. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, cared for, and happy - and for you to feel confident trusting me in your home.
“My wife and I have asked Michelle to house and dog sit several times and she continues to be incredible. We trust her with everything! We just got back into town from a 5 day trip and she cleaned the sheets, towels, bathroom, kitchen, living room, and fridge before she left. We know our dog is in great hands - she sends several updates per day, each with better pictures of our dog than we are able to take.”
“I feel so lucky I found Alexus to dogsit for us while away visiting family. I have two lab mixes that she quickly bonded with, even my timid dog who is very weary of strangers. They were snuggling and playing together within a day or two, I was (happily) shocked! One of our dogs got sick right before we had to leave on our trip, and Alexus took such good care of her and was always willing to go the extra mile for us when our dog needed to go to the vet while we were out of town. She was communicative and sent us daily photos and videos which I loved. She's the best!”
About: Been around dogs and cats my entire life. Started young volunteering at local vet office, former bather in grooming salon, have pet sat for many friends and family. I have 5 cats and one dog currently. I have helped care for many different needs when it comes to cats as well. I'm currently at stay at home mom, so happy to come by morning, lunch time, and evenings. I'm happy to come when you're pet needs it most. I've been around Chihuahuas up to Newfoundlands and all ages and shapes of cats. I'm happy to drop in feed, water, clean dishes or accidents, play, clean litter boxes, give medication, give as much or little attention your babies need. And I will always make sure to leave your home safe and secure before I leave.
“Alexandra was an amazing in-home dog sitter. She took excellent care of my senior dog, who has a specific diet and requires medication, and handled everything perfectly. She sent photos and updates a couple of times each day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away from my boy. It was clear he was comfortable, happy, and very well cared for. I would absolutely book with Alexandra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter.”
“Mark is the best! I really could not imagine a better person to take care of my dog and house sit. He is very consistent with updates on how my dog is doing as well as being very capable of taking care of a house.”
“Cindy was so great with my cats and watching after my place while I was gone for a long weekend! She made time to come over and meet with me for my last minute booking and she sent many pictures throughout the time! So thankful to have her watch the cats!!”
About: I have taken care of family and friends dogs and cats since I was about 15. I work in the veterinary field, I know how to give injections if need to be, I also know how to give medication either pill or liquid form. I work a full time job 7:30-4:30. But I am able to feed the cats or dogs before I go into work and once I get off. If need to be feed 3 times a day I do have an hour lunch so it would have to be close enough to my work so I can leave and get back in time. I am available all day on weekends watch your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard, if need to be boarded at my house my animals will most likely be staying at my parents house due to 2 of them being trouble makers 😂. I will play with them and walk them either at my house or yours. I love to see the different personalities and when they come out. I am always on watch with animals due to working in the veterinary field. I will always keep them safe
“Thank you so much for taking care of my furry family while I was away - and for keeping such nice care of my home. I know Onyx was a challenge (I knew he would be -as cats can be) but Harley loved every moment and it was so nice to come home knowing that they were both well loved. I couldn't recommend you enough! I would have you do it all over in a minute!”
“Chilali took great care of our 2 dogs, our cat, and our house over 2.5 weeks while we were gone internationally. All of our animals loved her and gave her plenty of snuggles. She was prompt with communications, updates, and pictures. She followed our instructions and asked questions for clarifications.”

Karah is amazing! I felt at ease as soon as she walked in the door and started interacting with my dog. She followed all instructions, which is especially important as my dog has special needs and Karah kept her safe and entertained for a whole day of housesitting and dogsitting. I was able to be at ease while I was away because I knew my dog was being taken care of well, and Karah sent great updates and is overall an excellent communicator. I definitely plan to work with her again!
Max was everything we could have asked for! Our first time leaving our very large dog, who can be skeptical of strangers… with a stranger! Max made Cooper feel comfortable right away, and sent lots of photos! We especially loved how conscious he was of getting exercise for the big guy in the morning while it was still a bit cooler outside. We’d absolutely work with him again!
Love Nikki!!!!! Nikki took such great care of our boys Chase (German Shepherd) and Simba (cat). She kept in great contact and updated us on how everyone was doing. Honestly, I think the boys would prefer her to come back and us leave. 😂 Both boys felt at ease with Nikki, and I felt so comfortable leaving my house and babies in her care. Without a doubt Nikki is my go-to sitter.
Casie was amazing! She watched both of my cats for 4 nights and took such great care of them. She kept me updated often and sent lots of photos, which made me feel so much better while I was away. My kitties seemed to really enjoy her, and it was clear they were comfortable and well cared for. I would definitely book with Casie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.
Book her! You will not be disappointed. Sophia was hands down the best sitter we have ever had. She went above and beyond our expectations, it was like if we were taking care of our fur babies ourselves. We were in a bind last minute and it was thanksgiving time. I contacted Sophia and immediately got a response. From the very beginning she was fantastic with communication. We did a meet and greet and probably spent too much time talking about our fur babies but not once did she make us feel like we were inconveniencing her. She was so attentive and down to earth from the moment we met her. Our biggest tell was how comfortable one of our dogs was with her even from the start. Our one dog is normally so scared and shy and we were a bit worried it would take a long time for her to warm up but it didn’t at all. Our dogs absolutely loved her and we truly felt so comfortable having her in our home and with our two dogs. I truly cannot say enough good things about Sophia. She is an animal lover hands down and will treat your fur baby with the up most respect and care! We cannot wait to have her watch our two babies again.
Very easy to work with and patient with my dog, Zuul (who is very skittish around new people). Adriana sent pictures and updates while I was out of town and was also kind enough to stop by and drop my key off after I forgot to stop by her place to pick it up. Highly recommended.
Kolby was absolutely amazing with my two chihuahuas! They got so much love and attention while we were away that I think they were actually a little sad when we came home. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. I would definitely book with Kolby again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oquirrh
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oquirrh on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,748 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oquirrh. 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 Oquirrh 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 Oquirrh 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 Oquirrh 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.

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.
