“Stephanie house sat our dog and cat for a week whilst we went home to Australia. Although we were in a different time zone, her communication was great and she made sure to check in. She was kind, reliable and very trustworthy. We returned home to two very happy pets and a very clean house! Couldn’t recommend her more highly!!!”
“Ash was great. She was very thorough about getting to know our pets routines and their boundaries which is amazing! Our anxious/reactive dog was happy to cuddle up with her and she did a good job at administering all of our pets medication. She clearly cares about animals a lot and has a very gentle and calm attitude with pets. Our cat that hates and gets aggressive with everyone but us seemed to hit it off with her which is awesome! I would definitely recommend Ash!”
“This is the second time we have used Jessica and we are always very assured. She is super communicative and very accommodating. She understands what it’s like to leave pets in the care of others and for us, she has experience with Frenchies which have to be cared for in a certain way. We didn’t leave our frenchies tjis trip but we would have no issue doing so. She’s amazing!”
“Samantha is so kind! She was wonderful with our 3 GSD's for 5 nights, 6 days. She cared for them and played with them and took wonderful care of them and our home. We will definitely be using her again and again and again! I highly recommend her!”
“Betty was an amazing dog sitter for our senior Great Dane, Daphne. She was incredibly professional and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. Each day, she gave us detailed updates of Daphne's day, which included beautiful photos of Daphne. We always looked forward to getting these fun updates every day! Betty went above and beyond with Daphne's care, and left our house cleaner than before we left. We would absolutely have Betty back to dog sit again in the future! Thanks, Betty!!”
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.
“Diana is the best dog sitter! She is responsible, reliable and stays in touch. Our vacation was less stressful knowing that our Benji was being taken care of. I would highly recommend her! Teresa Eubank”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Payton! They truly went above and beyond, giving updates, extra love and attention, and making me feel completely at ease while i was away. I came home to a happy, calm, and well cared for pup. I am incredibly grateful and would absolutely book with them again!”
“Tawny was so great with our dog, Hank! Took her on walks and was very attentive with her. He is an excellent communicator. Keeping us up to date before he arrived and while watching Hank. I would definitely book him again!”
“Christina took good care of my dog, Freya, last week just prior to the Labor Day weekend. Freya is a bit of an anxious gal; she did fine with Christina. Christina responded quickly, sent photos, described how the days went, and left my house in good order. Christina is conscientious and energetic; she seems very comfortable with dogs! I hope to have her stay with Freya sometime again in the future.”
“I can say with zero exaggeration that I wouldn’t be here today if I hadn’t met Mark and Cath. The love and care they show to my animals and to me are unmatched.”
“Makenzie is amazing! I booked her on short notice, and she went out of her way to make sure we met and felt comfortable. We have three dogs—two Boston Terriers and a French Bulldog puppy—and she handled everything beautifully. I really appreciate her being upfront, and her rates are very reasonable. She followed the walking, medication, and feeding schedule perfectly. Makenzie is kind, responsible, and clearly loves animals. When we came home, the house was clean, she had even washed her own sheets, and most importantly—the dogs were well taken care of. I will definitely reach out to her again!”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was 10 years old. I have taken them to the vet, walks, have fed them and am totally reliable and responsible. I take care of my cat every day she is very happy and is sitting on my lap right now. I love taking care of pets. I have a fenced yard and my own home. I have a cat of my own also. I can take your dog for a walk and potty breaks.
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!!
“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: I've been taking care of animals my whole life. My family and I have owned dogs my whole life as well. Family, friends, and even some neighbors have relied on me to feed, walk, and bathe their dogs, cats, and even some other animals as well. I now work with dogs at a Doggy Daycare, Boarding, and Training facility 4 days a week for 12 hours. Animals, and specifically dogs, are my life. I currently work Sunday-Wednesday from 8:00 AM-7:00 PM at a Doggy daycare, Boarding, and training facility. All day, I am taking care of upwards of 20 dogs at a time, feeding them, making sure they have clean water, helping them interact with other dogs and people, and getting lots of love, snuggles, and playing if they want. I walk them and work on walking politely with me. I also work with a lot of reactive dogs. I also have a 5-year-old intact Chihuahua-Dachshund mix named MaeBelle, so my day involves taking care of her as well. I always familiarize myself with the environment, making sure to take note of anything potentially harmful, any potential escape areas, and I keep track of the temperature outside and how hot the ground is.
“Kimberly was so awesome! She watched my doggies for a weekend getaway. She was very responsive and easy going. She took awesome care of the dogs, and my home. Would't hesitate to book with her again and again!”
“Tiffany did an amazing job for us. She spent the week with my cat and dog and she sent me updates and photos everyday. She was also quick to respond to my texts. I plan to hire her the next time we leave town if she isn’t already booked. You won’t go wrong with having Tiffany stay in your home with your pets.”

Alexandra is absolutely the best! She was responsible, punctual, and kept us updated with lots of pictures and messages throughout our trip. You can immediately tell how much she genuinely loves animals. What I appreciated most was that she took the time to get to know each of my dogs’ personalities, played with them, gave them lots of love and attention, and made sure they were happy and comfortable. When we came home, my dogs looked so happy and well cared for, which meant everything to me. This was the first time I’ve ever gone on a trip and truly felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were getting all the attention and care they needed. She gave me so much peace of mind, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Alexandra and will absolutely ask her to take care of my babies again without hesitation. By far, the best experience I’ve ever had with a sitter! ❤️🐾
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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
