“Sierra was great with our dogs, and they were very calm and content when we arrived back from our trip. She also helped out with a couple household things, that was greatly appreciated! She sent an update everyday as well.”

I currently work part time as a waitress, so I am able to fit your pets around my schedule! I work 4 hours at a time at most, and am available every night to care for your dog I am comfortable walking dogs in any neighborhood and for any period of time.

“Tamilyn is so wonderful! She was respectful of our home and very attentive to our Ruby. She went above and beyond making sure she was comfortable while we were away. We had great communication with picture updates. I highly recommend her to watch anyone's furbabies! We will definitely be requesting her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs most of my life. I’m the first person my family or friends call to come house sit for them so they don’t have to board their animals. I do some light house work, hangout with the animals, and give them lots of love while their parents are away I’m currently a single stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can do weekends or weekdays- let’s try and make it work with your schedule I’ll play with the animals outside as much as possible. Take them on a walks if they do not of great recall and in my free time in between taking care of the animals I do some light house work
“Molly went above and beyond to make our dog feel comfortable. She played games either her, brushed her, and took her on walks every day. We appreciated her daily communication with us while we were gone.”
About: I am a human mom, dog mom, and teacher looking to make some extra income throughout the summer. In this family, we’re always around animals. For questions or wanting to schedule care, please reach out! As a teacher, I have the majority of summers off. I’ll be home each day looking for something to keep busy outside of caring for my kids. In previous jobs my responsibilities included taking care of 1-4 pets at a time (cats and dogs). I was asked to feed them and let them outside. On top of this I played with them, took them on walks, gave them treats and attention, and brushed them. I can take on any pet responsibilities you may need when out of the home.
About: Ever since my husband and I got our own dog we just love the idea of taking care of other pets. I understand how it feels when you go places or on vacation or whatever and you cannot take your furbabies with you. This reason is why we love taking care of our friends pets when they are away. It will ONLY be myself working and dog sitting. My husband is not part of this, he has his own things to do, and he watches our own furbaby. I am a full-time student and I only have 2 days out of 7 that are in person. I am flexible most of the days. Oh my boy is spoiled but not too spoiled. I always groom my dog by myself every other day. We put him first because hes our furbaby (even though he is 6 years old). We take him on walks twice a day for 15-30mins. I always offer to groom my friends pets that we look after; only if their furbaby allows it. For my friends with cats, I usually pet the cats after I take care of their dishes (food&water) only if they allow it.
“Dogs were well cared for and seemed happier and healthier than they were when I left. It was easy to get in touch, and we were regularly updated about about the the dogs.”
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs since I was a child. My best friend Sadie (aka Tater Dog) was almost 12 when she passed a few years ago. We currently have one Blue Healer female dog (3yrs). I am a stay at home mom and am able to give your pet the full time attention they need and want during the day. I will care for your pets every need as if they were mine. I wouldn’t want anyone unreliable or untrustworthy to take care of my pets.
About: I have grown up with many animals in my lifetime from a very young age! I love being able to play and take care of any need they may have! I have taken care of puppies and older dogs with needs. My routine is very flexible so it’s not a problem fitting appointments around in my day for any amount of time! I look forward to meeting so many furry friends! I have two fur babies of my own who are the best friends a girl could ask for! I have watched many of my neighbors dogs growing up and now as they leave on vacations, they will be in great hands waiting for their best friends to get back!
About: Whether it be walks to parks, dropping in or even staying with your fur babies… I’m your person. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have questions! I work 6:30am to 2:30pm Monday through Friday here in North SLC, I can easily come in the mornings during lunch breaks in north Salt lake and anytime after work or on the weekends in the Ogden area. I am available for house stays. I can travel from North Salt Lake all the way up to Willard and everything in between. Don’t hesitate to ask! I have pretty large house, with a large sized yard and can accommodate but I’d rather come and visit your fur baby in the comfort of their own home. I find that it helps keep your fur baby stress free being in their own environment that they are use to and feel safe in.
“Jackie is absolutely amazing. I had a unique situation come up while I was gone and she quickly adapted and took such great care of my doggo. I would highly recommend her. She really treated my pup like one of her own and goes above and beyond.”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! She stayed in our home the entire time with our dogs and took excellent care of them. She was incredibly respectful of our space, kept the house very clean, and followed everything we asked. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were well cared for while we were away. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and responsible sitter.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Peter
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 295 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Peter. 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 Peter 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 Peter 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 Peter 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Peter. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
