“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!”
“Mark was fantastic! We have a loveable golden retriever with some health issues and we are definitely anxious dog parents. It was so nice to know our pup was in good hands while we were gone. Mark came over for a meet 'n greet beforehand, was great about sending updates, was reliable with all of Maui's medical needs, chill about our helicopter parenting, and so sweet and loving toward our doggo. And he took good care of our house too. We would recommend him to all dog parents! :)”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Jacob is our trusted favorite! I feel comfortable hiring Jacob to watch my girl for a week while I was out of the country. He sent me lots of updates and made sure she was exercised, happy, and healthy. I appreciate the way he treats my dog. He tends to her quirks and entertains her and loves her just as I do. It’s very reassuring to have Jacob around. Definitely a consistent and respectful person. My Lucy and I will continue to book if he’s available!”
About: Hello. I have been trusted with pets and home care since Elementary school, and I grew up with dogs, parakeets, hamsters and guinea pigs in the home. In my eagle scout project I led 30+ volunteers in a car wash / door-to-door donation collection for the local animal shelter to supply them with Kuranda dog beds and other supplies. I certified in the following: Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid, and PSI's Pet First Aid & CPCR for Pet-Care Professionals. Links to the certifications can be received on request. I work a hybrid role in information technology, potentially moving to a fully remote position. As such I saw a great opportunity to take care of pets while working remotely and continue doing what I've enjoyed for the last 15 years. 3 of my shifts are in-person and they are each 7-hr night shifts. I look forward to being of service. I am in a hybrid role, potentially moving into a fully remote role. I work 7-hr shifts 3 times a week, Wednesday - Friday 11pm - 6am, and would otherwise be available for working remotely from the pet's home and maintaining a lived-in presence for home security. I have taken care of large dogs, small dogs, chickens, cats and grown up with parakeets, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I maintain a lived-in presence by running small errands such as taking out trash, taking in mail, and adjusting lights.
“My dog Lilo absolutely loves Kendra. It is so comforting to know that your pet is well taken care of while you are away on vacation. Pet sitting or housesitting, I would book her again and again.”

Whether your pet is ready for an adventure or prefers a cozy, relaxed day, I’ll happily match their energy and give them the attention, care, and love they deserve.

I’m thrilled to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home! I can provide walks, meals, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and pay close attention to their individual needs. I’m also happy to send pictures during walks or playtime as a fun little check in, so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away!
“Kaden us the absolute best sitter! I have finally found my "go to" person and my Winston bonded with her instantly. He was at home in her care and did not experience his normal separation anxiety. He has a couple health issues that she was absolutely on top of and he received the attention he needed. She's just a wonderful person and is going to do so well in whatever she does....especially doggy care with nervous humans! Loved her!”
“We booked Alaina for pet and house sitting for a few weeks. Alaina was super sweet to meet up a couple times before booking for introductions and instructions, which we appreciated! Our kitty seemed to be happy and healthy with her upon our return and I didn’t worry a lot while on vacation! Alaina communicated with us daily over text. Our apartment was left decently clean when we got back.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orem
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!
Mark was fantastic with our fur baby Sven! It was so nice to not have to worry about Sven while on vacation because Mark treated him like he was his own! Sven is very needy and loves cuddles and Mark fully embraced our big floof! I would highly recommend him if you were looking for a sitter! He also kept the house tidy and did some light cleaning upon our return! We will definitely be booking him again 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!

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!

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 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.
