“Repeat house-sitting customer here! Brody is communicative, dependable, and affectionate with our dogs! We have two high-energy husky mixes and he’s great with them. We will book with Brody 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!”
“Jonah did an amazing job watching our dogs at our house while we were on vacation! He kept us updated and the dogs were happy and the house looked untouched when we returned! I would highly recommend him to everyone!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of every type of dog for as long as I can remember. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. I love every dog as if they were my own and can’t wait to one day have a dog of my own. I play professional baseball during the year but during the off season (October- January) I am free pretty much all the time! I only have training for about an hour or two a day other than that I am free! I have a fenced yard and love frequent walks with pups! I don’t mind pets on furniture and can accommodate almost any schedule your dog may have.
“This was my first time using Rover. Was very happy how easy it was. Ashley was great and took good care of both Chance and my place. Would totally use Ashley again and would recommend her to any dog owner.”
“Meg has been great! She’s been available for last minute requests, arrives when she says she will, and send pictures of my dog each time she visits. Meg is easy to work with and I plan on working with her in the future!”
“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!”
About: I am a responsible and loyal pet caretaker! I LOVE all animals and have owned or pet sat dogs, cats, and rodents. I walked my neighbors dog growing up and have cared for many animals since. I'm passionate about animal care because not only do they need it, but I also need time with pets! Animals need social and emotional connection, and that is what I give to pets. I am a college student taking the summer off to work, and am looking for opportunities to care for animals! I have a part time job in which I make my own hours, so I'm usually available to care for pets when needed. I am a student and cannot have pets in my own residence, however I am very respectful of others homes and make it a priority to leave spaces better than I found them.
About: I grew up caring for many dogs and have raised, trained, and loved dogs of my own, including a litter of puppies. We’re experienced at puppy training, potty training, crate training, and socialization among other things. We have experience with “runners” (dogs that love to bolt out the front door any chance they get) and have a fully-enclosed yard as well as a gated front door. We have dog-loving children so your dog will receive lots of attention and snuggles and playtime. We live directly behind a large park for walks and adventures. Both my husband and I are home during the day, so your dog will have care and companionship while at our home. We also have several kids eager to snuggle and play with your dog. Safety is our top priority. Our home is dog-proofed and puppy-proofed. We have a clean, safe home free from the foods and items that can endanger dogs. We have a fully-fenced yard, puppy-proofed main floor, kids to play with, and a full park right behind our house for walks and extra playtime. Our dog sleeps in a crate at night, and roams free inside and outside during the day. Your dog can do the same. We are eager to maintain the same routines that help your dog feel happy and at ease.
About: I have 10 plus years of experience taking care of family and neighbors pets. I am happy to help in any way! If I could have a pet I would, my apartment doesn’t allow it so this is a great way for me to get my pet and animal loving fix. I have my own online business so I am very flexible throughout the week. I’m quick to respond and I’m happy to fit peoples schedules into mine. Im happy to follow whatever schedule is needed for specific homes and pets. I want the animals to feel safe and have the care they need.
“A very caring sitter in a calm environment, which is what my elderly dog needs. Charlie has quite a few medicines, including three eyedrops. Darlena took it all in stride. I especially appreciated her letting Charlie sleep with her as he's used to cuddling overnight. Already scheduling two more stays for Charlie and have recommended her to a friend.”
“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!”
“Allison was AMAZING with my parent’s highly anxious dog. She was willing to help on short notice, and was flexible with us as things changed during the stay! She sent daily photos and videos to us, and checked in with updates on how things were going. Harper loved her, and we’ll absolutely be using Allison again in the future!”
“Caitlin is BEYOND AMAZING! I have two King Charles Cavaliers that she watched at my house for 4 days. One of them is blind and the other one is very sensitive to new people. They both fell in love with her immediately! The older one was fussy and wouldn't eat for her but she never gave up and kept me posted at all times and finally won him over. She is great at communicating, sending updates and pictures. I will definitely hire her again and highly recommend her services! You will be glad you did.”
“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!”
“Skyler is a part of our family now. We can always trust her to take care of the house and cats when we are gone. She is very thorough and always puts me at ease with updates.”

Shannon watched my pup for 10 days and I could not have asked for a better sitter!! She is clearly such a dog lover and sent me pics pretty much every night letting me know my dog was doing well. She even went above and beyond and washed my sheets before I came home without me asking her which was so sweet and nice to come home to! Will absolutely be asking her to watch my pup again.
Camlyn is sweet, intelligent and conscientous. She is a great pet-sitter. She house-sat for us and was amazing! Our pets seem to really like her. Even the cat came out to be around her, which is rare for our cat. Our home was just as we left it. She is terrific!
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!

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!
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 $44 per night as of November 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 November 2026, there are 2,247 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.
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 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 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 Orem. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
