“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Diana is a young professional and loves her job. She was willing to meet in advance and do an interview and meet our little guy, we instantly felt good about her. We’ve been through a number of pet sitters, and Diana is our favorite. She will house-sit & send photos/videos while you’re away and she’s able to stay with your baby for the majority of the day!”
About: 🐾 I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, and they’ve always been a huge part of my family. I currently have two Huskies and a Yorkie, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. A couple of years ago, we unexpectedly ended up with six Husky puppies! We cared for all of them from birth, giving them lots of love, attention, and hands-on care as they grew. We eventually found homes for most of them and decided to keep one of the puppies as part of our family. ❤️ I genuinely have a passion for dogs and love spending time with them. My kids are also huge dog lovers, so our home is definitely a dog-loving household! I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby with someone you trust, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. Whether your dog loves to play, needs lots of cuddles, enjoys relaxing, or just needs some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to give them a safe, loving, and comfortable experience. 🐶❤️ 🐾I work from home, so I’m able to be home with your fur baby throughout the day! They’ll have plenty of companionship, attention, and supervision instead of being left alone for long periods of time. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own—with lots of love, playtime, cuddles, and patience. I’m happy to follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. ❤️ 🐾Your fur baby will be staying in a safe, comfortable, and loving home! I have 3 friendly dogs of my own who can keep your pup company and make them feel part of the family. ❤️ We have a fully fenced yard where they can safely play and get some fresh air, plus a great walking route in our quiet, safe neighborhood for walks and exercise. I’ll always keep your dog’s safety and comfort a priority, while giving them plenty of love, attention, and supervision. My home is a place where dogs are treated like family, and I want every pup in my care to feel just as comfortable as they do at home. 🐶🏡
“We had Spencer house sit for our 4-year-old large-breed guardian pup, and he was fantastic! He kept us updated with regular messages and photos and was always quick to respond. He was patient and understanding of Anna's guardian-breed barking and gave her plenty of love and attention. He took wonderful care of both Anna and our home. We wouldn't hesitate to hire him again!”
“Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Nola. Also, a huge thank you for going over to our house earlier then scheduled because Nola was freaking out and barking. That was so kind of you to step in and go the extra mile to help us. You’re the best!”
“If I could give Robin 10 stars I would. Robin took such good care of my dog, followed all of my instructions, and went above and beyond to make him comfortable and happy. I cannot express enough how much I appreciate her efforts, her professionalism, and her genuine, caring nature. I highly recommend Robin.”
“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!”
“Kaitlyn watched Coco and Charlie and I’m honestly someone who doesn’t trust people easily, especially when it comes to my dogs. Both of them need meds and have their own quirks, so it’s not simple. She handled everything so well. I didn’t have to worry or check in constantly, which says a lot for me. They were calm, cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. You can tell she actually pays attention and cares, not just going through the motions. I’d have her watch them again without hesitation!”
About: I am a nurse by trade and dog lover by heart! I have 3 big dogs of my own and 2 are seniors. I volunteer for dog rescues and host overnight stays and help transport dogs of all breeds and sizes! I would love to find a time that works to care for your pet! I have some full days off during the week and weekends! I am available most weekdays for drop ins or walks! I have a fenced back yard with room to run around and lots of toys to play with! My dogs are very friendly and love to play with other dogs!
“Penny did an amazing job watching Doro! I felt so relieved to know she was well taken care of. Also she was able to help me last minute when another sitter fell through. I am so grateful!!”
“Leah took Ranger for a long walk to the park even though it was a little chilly and he loved getting out! My cat Salem even got snuggles afterwards. Leah made sure to tend to both of my boys making sure they were happy and cared for. Love her!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oquirrh
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Oquirrh is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $75 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 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 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

- 96% 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.
