“Incredibly impressed with Tyler! We’ve had many house/catsitters and Tyler clearly stands above them all. Everything from his communications, check-ins, level of care, attention to detail, cleanliness, organization, and how much he loves animals in unmatched! Don’t hesitate having Tyler help you!”
“Alaina was amazing! She stepped in pretty last minute when I needed someone to stay with my boy, and was super great with him! She was great at communicating, and sent plenty of pictures! I would highly recommend Alaina for anyone looking for someone to watch their pet!”
“Lillian was everything you could ask for and more in a dog sitter! She took care of our anxious pup and also kept our house spotless while we were away for a few days. I plan on using her again anytime we leave for a trip. 100% recommend!”
About: I'm extremely passionate about caring for animals! I've had experience with dog-sitting and other types of care. Your pets and I will be best friends!! My schedule is very flexible. I can house sit any day of the week for as long as needed! I will cater to your needs, whatever they are. I'm kind. I have experience with nervous dogs, puppy care, cats (I have three!), and keeping watch over them in the way that they need me to.
“Caitlin took better care of Frankie and the house than I do! Can't wait to ask Caitlin to come help out again. First time I have ever had someone come stay in the house while I am gone. I was nervous and Caitlin was just wonderful.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for 9 years. I started watching my neighbors dogs. I have grew up with 2 dogs. A 5 year old beagle, Leo (who has three legs) and a 1 year old Chihuahua/Beagle mix. I’ve always loved dogs and animals. I have an open schedule and available anytime. Morning, afternoon, or evening I will be there for your dog!! Just let me know when you will like me to come over!! I’m a college student away from her own dogs so I have a lot of love to give. I love walking or cuddling dogs or just keeping them company!!
“Christiana watched our two Rhodesian ridgebacks in our home. She was professional, respectful and communicated well during the entire stay. It felt good to know our dogs were in good hands. Highly recommend and would use again!”
About: I grew up with a Great Pyrenees. So naturally, I’m very good with bigger dogs. I currently work in a veterinary clinic so I have experience with the medical side when it comes to caring for your pets. i’ve had to help an emergency situations and I’ve also had to clean up many different messes so I promise I’m equipped to handle any happy accidents. I’ve watched a lot of smaller and medium size dogs for family and friends as well. I know how diffuse potentially dangerous situations among dogs, since my dog growing up was not very dog friendly. I know how to approach and react to situations with all sizes. I live with 5 dogs right now, 4 of them being over 100lbs, and 1 being 5lbs. I promise I will take amazing care of your beloved fur babies!! I am a sophomore in college. I go to Utah Valley University and I am studying Zoology. I also have a job at a veterinary clinic. I will always make sure your furbabies are taken care of and loved. I am very respectful of everyone’s homes and of your pets safe spaces. I always clean up after your pet and make sure your home clean (I used to work for a cleaning company so trust me I know how to keep things squeaky clean)!

“Once again, Viridian took great care of our boy! She sends daily updates along with pictures and followed his schedule exactly as we layed out. I would highly recommend and 1000% use her again!!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She stayed at our home for 4 days and took such great care of our girls, walking them twice a day. She kept us updated with great communication throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. We also came home to a spotless house — it honestly looked like no one had even been there. We would absolutely recommend her and would love to have her watch our pups again!”
About: I have grown up surrounded by animals! My family has always had cats or dogs in our house. This has taught me to care deeply for animals and provide the best care possible. For the past 4 years, I have regularly pet-sat for many families in my hometown and also spent a lot of time at the South Utah Valley Animal Shelter, where I take dogs for walks and treat them to special days outside the shelter. I truly love spending time with animals and would be so excited to care for your pets! I work and have classes during the day on Mondays and Wednesdays, but I am available in the evenings. Aside from those days, I have a very flexible schedule and am available to help care for your pets whenever you need! While I am unable to bring pets back to my apartment, I am happy to care for them in the comfort of their own home or take them on fun and safe day trips! I always want to give your pets my full attention and create a calm, loving environment where they feel comfortable and at ease. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, cared for, and have plenty of fun while you are away!
“She was great. Our dog was a little nervous in general but after a little bit she at least was okay with her being in the same house. Beth did a great job with her helping to keep her calm and never did anything to upset her. Great job!”
“Aubrey was so helpful house sitting my dog. She was dependable, kept me updated, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. My dog was happy and well cared for when I returned. I’ll definitely be rebooking with Aubrey again when I’m out of town!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs, cats, hamster, birds, you name it since before I could walk! Though many sitters are qualified, not all are as loving and attentive as I am. I treat each animal like a new member of my family. The years of experience x love for pets makes me the perfect fit. I have a very flexible routine that allows me to be home every hour if needed. In the past I have reached out to friends with pets to see if I could be their free dog sitter since I miss my family dogs so much. This fits in perfectly with my routine. Safety, care, and love, are always my top priorities. I am very sensitive to the needs and feelings of each pet I encounter and it always become a personal mission of mine to not only help them physically but to uplift them emotionally as well.
“This is the very first time I have ever used Rover and I needed it very fast with very little warning. Marco was absolutely amazing. I almost wonder if Georgie wants him coming back and wants me going back out of town? I sure hope anytime I need to get another dog sitter. Marco is available because he was absolutely amazing. Thank you, Rover for creating such an amazing opportunity for dog owners and those who love dogs to come together.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orem
Brianna did a wonderful job watching my dogs for a few nights. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands while I was away. I really appreciate her taking such great care of them and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I would happily book with her again!
We had a fantastic experience with Catie! She took wonderful care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She sent us daily pictures and updates, keeping us informed about how the dogs were doing and anything going on at the house. She followed all of our instructions and made sure everything was taken care of. We came home to happy dogs and a clean house! It’s clear that Catie genuinely loves dogs and truly enjoys what she does. Knowing our dogs were in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We would absolutely trust Catie to care for our dogs and home again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Highly recommend!
Mark is amazing! He went above and beyond while pet sitting for us. We had a huge delivery dropped off early and he brought it in for us. Our pets were well taken care of and our house was left in excellent condition! I will also ask Mark to pet sit cause he’s the best!
She was absolutely amazing! We had a cancellation 30 minutes before we left for a trip and she came right our way to meet our pups. We have a very old dog and a 10 month old puppy we had adopted the week before we left (still getting to know each other) and I felt so comfortable leaving them in her care based on her experience with animals. She sent me photos and updates and was truly incredible!
Shanika has house sat for us a few times now and watched our two dogs. She had been our best dog sitter we’ve found through Rover. Highly recommend her. It’s been so hard finding a reliable dog sitter since we moved to UT and she has been nothing short of amazing.
Aubrey was so helpful house sitting my dog. She was dependable, kept me updated, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. My dog was happy and well cared for when I returned. I’ll definitely be rebooking with Aubrey again when I’m out of town!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She stayed in our home for a week while we were on vacation and took amazing care of our French Bulldog, Tomas. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in his own environment with someone who truly cared for him. She kept us updated with messages and photos, followed all of Tomas’s routine and instructions, and treated our home with respect. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a house that was just as clean as when we left. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and Tomas was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter.
Michelle was amazing with Mochi while I was away! She stayed overnight during my trip and sent lots of pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond by doing little extras like turning on cat TV for Mochi while she was away. When I came home, Mochi was in such a better mood than she has been after other trips, and I could tell she felt comfortable and cared for. I would absolutely book Michelle again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Orem is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 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 October 2026, there are 2,277 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Orem. 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 Orem 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 Orem 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 Orem 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
