“Adrian does a great job with our aging dog. She is responsible and gives me daily updates. She is thoughtful and good at giving medication. I would highly recommend Adrian.”
“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!”
“Kayla was great with our pups! She followed all care instructions, took them on walks, and played and snuggled with them as much as they needed. We came home to very happy pups!”
“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 a gem of a house and pet sitter! We received regular updates, she was so attentive to all of our animals and their needs, and you can tell that she genuinely loves to take care of fur babies. We would definitely trust her again in the future.”
“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.
About: I grew up taking care of my own dog and I love him to pieces! I’ve always been a big animal lover and think they truly do bring out the best in everyone! I’ve taken care of other family members and friends pets and completely understand how important they are to people! I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, birds, and some reptiles. I’ve been asked to give animals medicine, take them for walks, take them out for drives, fed them, and even just hung out with them for a few hours to keep them company and I’m happy to do all of it all on my own!! I’m currently working a part time job, so I will have days or couple of hours of a day that I can take care of your dog! I care for pets with the same patience, attention, and love that I would give my own. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of exercise and attention, and stay on their normal routines as much as possible. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions from the owner regarding feeding, walks, medications, or other special needs. Most importantly, I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away
“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.”
About: I have a retired service dog, and can do both sitting at your home and boarding at mine. I have watched both small and large dogs, as well as cats, reptiles, and rodents. I use to work at a farm with horses, and know my way around critters both great and small. I can provide outdoor baths if the weather is above 60 degrees, and some light training if wanted. I am in college taking classes from 10 to 1, and also work as a janitor for a school, working from 4 to 7. I am not home on Sunday mornings for about 2 hours, due to church, so any dogs will need to be OK being home alone either in a crate or loose in a room for that time period. I have my retired service dog, Wiley, who is very friendly with other dogs. I have a indoor grass patch that dogs can use, as well as the lead line i can put them out on. I am not able to walk very well, so can't do long walks, but I have a good arm and can throw a ball for 20 minutes several times a day, in the park near my house. I can provide a hose bath provided the temperature is above 60 degrees, and can use my large car to go to dog parks. Dogs are allowed on the bed, but will sleep in a crate if that is how they sleep at home. I have bones for dogs to chew on, and plenty of toys. I dont allow balls in the house, my dog has learned how to throw them himself to chase.
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats. In my adult years I have dog and cat sat for friends and neighbors. I would love any chance I can get to hang with your furry friends! I work from home on Fridays so I can spend the entire day with your furry friend. I am also available weekends and in the evening on other weekdays. I have experience overnight dog and cat sitting. I’ve used crates for dogs and feel comfortable walking with animals of any size. I am good an following instructions.
“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!”
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!
“Dallan was amazing and my dogs and cat were well taken care of. Dallan sent regular updates. He came a couple of days before to meet the dogs which was awesome. He walked them and gave them so much attention. I will definitely use him again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always loved working with them. For two years, I worked as a boarding technician at a veterinary clinic, where I cared for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. My experience, both personal and professional, has given me a deep understanding of their needs and behavior. Pet care has always been a part of my life, Im going into vet school and anything that has to do with animals is like a dream come true. I have a Vizsla that is now 13 years old. I’ve had her ever since she was 1 years old. I’ve walked her and did everything with her but now she’s getting to old to go on some big walks. I have a big back yard that she loves to play and run or jog around in.
About: I stand out by giving each dog personalized love and attention. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, always caring with patience and affection. As a stay-at-home mom with a child, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day and night. I care for pets in a safe and loving environment. In my home, I have a fenced yard where dogs can be securely, and I always make sure they feel comfortable and at home.
About: I have my own dog and I’ve grown up with dogs for most of my life so I know how to handle bigger and smaller dogs! I’m currently not working so I am available to watch your pets during the weekdays from Monday to Friday! I can start watching your pet as early as 8 am and I will be able to keep you updated on your pet throughout any time of the day! I live in a condominium with a husky right next to the lake so your dog will be able to take long walks along with big grass areas to play around in throughout the neighborhood as well!

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!

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.

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 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.
