“Kailey took amazing care of my dog, cat, and home while I was away on vacation. She sent daily updates and photos that let me know everything was going well during her week long stay. I highly recommend her.”
“We have a special needs pup that needs a lot of care, and she had no problem taking on the chaos! We did a meet and greet, she was so friendly! During the stay, she was so good about checking in as well as sending multiple photos, which I loved. If she wasn’t sure about something she asked, and she followed all of our directions perfectly! My pups loved her and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Emma has by far been the best rover we have used since living here and would highly recommend her for your pets! She took great care of our two dogs who don’t like to make anything easy. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have a strong background in animal care, with a degree in Animal & Poultry Sciences and hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, livestock, and many other species. I’ve worked as a veterinary technician and in a variety of animal-care settings, including nonprofit veterinary clinics, wildlife sanctuaries, private practices, and animal shelters. I have experience with animals of all ages, personalities, and needs, so hopefully I can meet the needs of both you and your pets! I’ve been walking dogs in shelter settings since I was 15, including serving as a dog-walking volunteer leader. In that role, I helped walk dogs who were available for adoption as well as more cautious or fearful dogs who required extra patience and awareness. These experiences taught me how to safely read animal body language, respect their boundaries, and adjust my approach to each individual dog. I’m comfortable with energetic pets, shy or anxious animals, senior care, medication routines, and maintaining feeding and exercise schedules. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior or health and take pet safety seriously. I’m open to working with fearful or reactive dogs when their owners feel I’m a good fit. I have personal experience caring for a rescued pit bull who can be reactive toward some dogs and people, and consistent training has made significant improvements. That experience has also given me a lot of empathy for owners who struggle to find caregivers they trust, so please do not hesitate to contact me if you are in a similar spot. While I do have experience, I genuinely just love spending time with animals! I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, care, and attention I’d want for my own. I welcome any questions or concerns you may have. I know finding the right fit for your pet can be stressful, and I’m happy to chat to make sure you feel comfortable and confident in their care. I work a typical 8-hour schedule in Manhattan during the week, usually from 7:00 AM–3:30 PM. While my workday is 8 hours, my start and end times can vary, so I’m happy to discuss alternative times if needed to work around your pet’s schedule. I’m flexible before and after work for dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medication, or checking in on your pets. My weekends are much more flexible, and I’m available for multiple visits throughout the day or to spend extended time with pets who need extra company and care at home. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits both your needs and your pet’s routine! When caring for pets in their home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding, medications, exercise, and any other instructions you provide. I understand that every pet and household is different, and I’m careful to respect both. I take animal body language and behavior seriously and always give pets the time and space they need to feel comfortable with me. This is especially important with shy, fearful, or reactive animals. I’m attentive during walks and make safety a priority around doors, gates, other animals, and unfamiliar environments. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“I was at ease since the meet and greet! She is extremely communicative and makes sure to ask questions if she needs clarification. My dogs have special needs, including reactivity, medication, and a crate and rotate system, and she handled it all very well. I came home to a clean home and happy dogs!”
About: I recently graduated with a degree in Pre-Veterinary medicine. I have been watching animals since I could crawl. I have alot of experience volunteering in shelters. I’m currently looking for jobs in vet clinics to help with my Vet school resume. Until then my schedule is open except for Tuesdays and Saturdays. I have a patio and a friendly puppy to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate my puppy or yours if needed. There’s a dog park 6 minutes from my house so lots of funny can be had!
About: I grew up around dogs, cats, horses, and livestock and currently have three dogs, three cats, and a horse of my own. I’ve pet sat for families for several years, volunteered at Prairie Paws in Manhattan for three years, and worked at a dog boarding facility over the summer. I also have experience with puppies and senior dogs, including both of my own, so I’m comfortable with different ages, routines, and needs. Outside of classes, I have a flexible schedule and am available most days and evenings. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I’ll always treat yours with the same love and care I give my own! I am a junior in college this year at ksu and have plenty of free time during the day and night to come over and watch your animals! I have two classes sometimes three during the day but all of my days are pretty flexible. While being up here at KSU and not being able to see all of my fur babies I would love to come and see yours and provide all the care they need to them! I have two puppies, one old dog, three cats, and a horse back at home. I am very good with animals. I would love to come hangout with your fur babies while you are gone or busy at work! I have worked at four horse boarding facilities so I know what it is like to make sure the care is perfect for peoples animals. I enjoy taking care of animals and making them feel loved and safe, I would love to provide that for your pet.
About: I’ve take care dogs since I was 7 always around dogs and always helping neighbors with their dogs. It is the best environment that I love to in it. I’m currently working on base but I’m always available after 5 pm and weekends for walking daily after 5 pm or staying with me if someone needs to travel. I have a fenced backyard and friendly dog that loves to play so I have enough space for more dogs and toys for them to play.
About: For the last 20 years I've been deeply involved with dog rescue and fostering. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments as well as dogs in need of special care. I am an animal lover through and through and I will make sure your friend(s) will get the loving care they deserve. If your pets have medications that they routinely need I have lots of experience with administering meds and dealing with other health issues. I have a relatively flexible work schedule Monday through Friday, I can do walks and play in the early afternoon most days as well as evenings. Ask me about my boarding service as well ! I currently live with three seniors and two younger pups, I live out in the country and have two homes, on one of the properties there are two fenced areas with plenty of room for zoomies. If you would like to board your friends with me, I am fine with having them out and about in the house when I'm present, but they would most likely need to be crated if left alone. Contact me with questions and I can give you more details.
“Kristen was amazing as always! I greatly appreciate all the adventures she takes Riley on (he greatly needs it right now and I can tell his heart is happy). Kristen also takes wonderful care of our home and I am always pleasantly surprised upon my return. Thanks so much!”
About: I have 2 dogs and have always grown up with 2-3 dogs in my house. I have dog watched for friends before and have no problem feeding, letting out, or simply just watching/playing with them. Im currently going to school, getting a degree in Wildlife Conservation. Taking care of animals is something I enjoy and your animal will have a smile on its face when I’m with them! When I take your pet on a walk I do wish to require a leash and collar for liability purposes. If you would like your pet crated I can do so. Whatever my client needs for their fur baby I’ll give them! They are family.

The average cost of House Sitting in Saint George is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 per night.

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 Saint George 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 Saint George 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 Saint George 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.
