“Razan was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my dog while I was away and sent frequent updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly very caring. She also left my house spotless, which was so appreciated after being away. I would absolutely recommend Razan and would happily book with her again!”
“Christina did a fantastic job watching Hank and Milo. She followed my instructions to a tee and I came back to a spotless house and very happy pups. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Amy was an absolute life saver and took such great care of our 2 dogs and cat when we went out of town. Our previous sitter canceled on us the night before our flight, and Amy was super responsive, was able to come over for a meet and greet at the drop of a hat, and got along great with everyone. One of our dogs is anxious so this is always something we look for. We are so thankful our holiday worked out and would absolutely work with Amy again. She took great care of our house too, shared photos and checked in with us, and we felt very comfortable with her watching after our pets. Thank you Amy!”
“Bailey watched our dogs for a long weekend after a meet and greet a week or so before hand. When we returned the house was clean and in great shape. The dogs appeared to be happy and well taken care of!”
“My puppy loved Kira and seemed like she had a good time while I was away! She was very attentive and responsive to my puppy’s needs and was able to stop by late at night and early in the morning so she wouldn’t have to wait too long to go out. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: Hello, My name is Kennedy and I recently earned my bachelors degree from the university of Utah and I love animals! I have always been around animals and have cared for them growing up. I have also watched and taken care of other dogs while in college to earn extra income. I’m used to administering medication (dog epilepsy, diabetes, etc.), walking, feeding, and giving them the love and affection that they need. I work 30 hours/week as a therapist, but my schedule is very flexible. I never get off later than 5 pm and I have openings in between sessions throughout the day. I am willing to also stay overnight if needed and am open to being flexible to whatever you and your animals needs are! I also would host your dog at my house if need me :) I want it to be an enjoyable experience for you and your baby!
About: Leaving your pet with someone new is stressful, I get it. My goal is simple. Treat your pet like family, so you can relax when you are gone. Every visit includes real attention, not just the basics. Playtime, enrichment, and whatever routine your pet is used to. I take time upfront to learn their personality and quirks, so care feels familiar to them, not disruptive. You’ll get honest, timely updates with photos so you’re never left wondering how things are going. I’m a dog mom of two, and I grew up with dogs my whole life. I’ve also looked after friends’ pets for years, so I know how much it means to leave them in good hands. Every animal has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to really understand each one I care for. Reach out and let’s set up a meet and greet. I’d love to meet your pet! I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule most days. That means I can offer consistent visits at the same time each day, or adjust if your pet’s routine needs something different. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, feeding, fresh water, and playtime or cuddles, depending on what they’re used to. I match walks to your dog’s energy level, and any specific instructions you give me, whether that’s a calm stroll or a longer walk to burn off energy. House sitting: I treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Beyond looking after your pets routine, I keep an eye on the house, bring in mail or packages if needed, and leave things exactly as I found them.
“As a pet sitter myself, I can be picky regarding who I pick to watch my animals. I am grateful to have found Monica and glad she was available during the busy holiday season. She great care of the animals, including my roommates pup. She sent pictures which made us feel great and took care of the home. We appreciate the care that was put into looking after the furbabies. Will use Monica again!”
About: I worked with doggies day care for about 2 years in college. Staying at clients houses watching their pets. It was awesome I learned great training skills and was able to walk tons of dogs! I was also a preschool teacher at this time as well and cpr certified. I’m an early riser I’m up around 6:30-7:00 and I take my border collie on her 2 mile walk. Every morning. I’m a master esthetician starting a business right now so any free time I’m at the spa with my own clients. I like late nights as well, but I’m very active so if you need a dog walker or someone to wear your high energy pup out I’m your girl! At my house I have a full fenced yard. However there is 4 large dogs here. A full house no doubt. I’d love to do at home visits or boarding at clients house not my own.
“Alayna is a wonderful sitter. My cat adores her and she has always taken excellent care of him and my house. I trust her 100% and feel confident that Pumpkin is happy and safe with her there.”
About: I’ve had a pet my entire life, from 10-pound pugs to labs and husky’s over 100 pounds! I love caring for animals of all sizes and will treat your pet like family. Whether they need a walk, playtime, or some extra love while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I have an atypical work schedule work schedule and only in the afternoons and nighttime and I’m free anytime before 3 PM for walks or drop ins! I care for pets with patients and love. I have a fenced off backyard with a large grass area and two dogs at home to keep company.
About: I’ve worked in multiple pet care facilities, I love working with dogs of all different kinds. Your dog will have a safe, fun, and brain-busting experience with me. I do know pet first aid and CPR in case of any emergency. Pet care isn’t just a part of my routine- it’s what I genuinely love doing. Working with animals and their families is where I feel most fulfilled. I will walk your dog on whatever tool you want (as long as it’s safe) I can also help your dog to learn leash manners and behave better outside while I’m working with them. If you’re looking for a training/walking hybrid, this is it.
About: I’ve been taking care dogs since I was 16. I used to be volunteer at the dogs shelter. I truly love dogs and I do have a experience… I work from home, so I’m at home all day. I like to play with them but I also take them out for a walks or to the dogs park so they can play and let the energy out. I live in a safe, dog friendly apartment, we have a nice fenced yard for the doggies where they can play and we also have a pet spa wash.
“Cameron is truly the best! She took care of my baby Draco for over a week. My cat is usually shy and afraid of new people but he loved Cameron instantly!! She was very caring, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond for my boy especially since he requires special care and attention. Its the first time I’m leaving Draco for a long trip and Cameron always updated me and sent me photos of how Draco is doing so I felt super relieved being out of the country and having Cameron look after Draco. Cameron is the best!! Shes so polite, very communicative and even cleaned after the apartment even though she didn’t have to! She is the best, I am lucky to have found her!! Will definitely recommend her for your fur babies <3”
About: While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I’ve always loved animals and have hands on experience caring for pets of different ages, including a senior pet and a young kitten. Because of that, I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, energy level, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and will treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m happy to follow their normal routine, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, litter box care, or simply keeping them company. I also know how reassuring it is to get updates while you’re away, so I’m more than happy to send plenty of photos and check ins! Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I currently work Monday through Friday from 8:30–5:30, so I’m available for pet care after work and have open availability on weekends. As I build my pet-sitting schedule, I’m hoping to make pet care a bigger part of my weekly routine, which will allow me to offer even more flexibility and availability in the future. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that keeps your pet’s routine consistent and gives them the attention they deserve! I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, whether they’re cats or dogs, and I’ll always treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. As a longtime cat owner, I have experience caring for both younger and senior pets, including giving my senior cat medication when she’s sick and keeping up with regular vet visits for both of my cats. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, litter box care, medication, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sandy
Abbey did great watching Goose! Took him on a nice long hike, which he loved. Goose got sick randomly while Abbey was watching him, and she took such good care of him and cleaning up after him, while keeping me in the loop with how he was doing. Would definitely recommend Abbey for pet sitting.
Meisha is our go-to sitter and always does SUCH an incredible job taking care of our babies! Most recently, she stayed at our apartment to watch our cat and pup for a few days while we were out of town. I always get the cutest photos and updates from Meisha, and you can really tell she spoils them like they are her own ☺️ Really can’t recommend her enough!
Ashlie & Tyson were absolutely fabulous with our boy Blue. Ashlie was so communicative with us the entire time we were gone, sending us updates and photos, and our boy was so well taken care of and happy when we got back. They also took care of our house and we came home to everything clean and tidy! Will definitely book them again for our next trip!

The average cost of House Sitting in Sandy is $29 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $72 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 Sandy 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 Sandy 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 Sandy 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.
