“Sammy stayed at my house for 4 nights, taking care of my senior cat and energetic dog. She gave them lots of love and attention and made sure to get my dog out for long walks. I felt comfortable with her at my house and will definitely use her again!”
“I just had experience with Katie who stayed at the house and watched the pups! She is great and absolutely no complaints and the pups enjoyed her as well. Definitely recommend!!”
“Kirk took great care of our dogs and house while we were out of town. They seemed content upon our return and everything was in order. He communicated well and sent some pics during our trip. Would absolutely hire again!”
“Anna did a great job with our 7 month old puppy! We were so nervous using a stranger for the first time, but she was very communicative and took such good care of him. We appreciated the pictures she sent us for check ins too. Definitely recommend!”
“Kaitlyn was the best! She sent great pictures, was responsive and really loved on Benny. She coordinated with our neighbor for walks and hikes with him and Benny and she left everything nice and clean. We will definitely have her as our dog sitter again! Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve loved dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have had pets for most of my life. I have experience caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as pets belonging to family members. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I will always care for them with patience, kindness, and attention. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to care for pets. I’m available for house sitting on Mondays and Tuesdays, and I’m also available during the daytime on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. My availability varies on weekends, but I always keep my Rover calendar updated so you can see when I’m available. I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and loving care. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions and routine. I make sure pets have fresh water, meals on time, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I keep doors and gates secure, maintain a clean and safe environment, and send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Michelle was amazing! She was super communicative and sent lots of great updates and pictures. Maya was clearly super comfortable and at ease with her, which is all I could ask for. Michelle also left the house clean and organized. Highly recommend!”
“Tiffany did an amazing job for us. She spent the week with my cat and dog and she sent me updates and photos everyday. She was also quick to respond to my texts. I plan to hire her the next time we leave town if she isn’t already booked. You won’t go wrong with having Tiffany stay in your home with your pets.”
“Brielle did an amazing job with our 2 XLarge dogs! She went above & beyond with them & they instantly loved her! I would highly recommend Brielle to anyone looking for great house sitting care of your dogs!”
“Kelly was an outstanding house sitter. She handled our dogs who were sick unbelievably well and we feel so fortunate to have had her watching the dogs. We have an older dog that required a fair amount of medication management. She allowed us to have a stress free vacation and for that we are so grateful. We highly recommend Kelly.”
“Betty was absolutely incredible and we feel so lucky to have found her. From getting to know our home and our pup’s personalities, to the sweet updates and thoughtfulness— we are so grateful to have come home to two tired and spoiled dogs. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Meisha did an amazing job watching Pongo! Her communication was 10/10, which gave me so much peace of mind, especially since we were going to be out of service for a few days. We came home to a clean house and a calm, happy dog. She provided lots of updates and was very respectful of Pongo’s initial uncertainty, giving him the space and time to warm up to her at his own pace.”
“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.”
“Our girls are usually really excited to see us when we have a sitter but they weren’t all that concerned when we returned after having Heather as a sitter which tells us they got every possible need met! They both older and a little clingy so we were hoping mostly for companionship and it looks like Heather did a fantastic job!”
About: I have taken care of plenty of animals from a very young age. I’ve trained before and enjoyed seeing the progress that comes with. I am great with any age of dog and understand the difference in temperament! I am currently working a job as a barista and am a student at SLCC. My job is fairly flexible and doesn’t demand my full days. I do schooling online so it is easy for me to do homework anywhere. I am happy to take your dog on walks, play with them in the backyard, do trainings etc. Whatever your pet may need! I am familiar with crate training and am comfortable with it. I like to watch dogs in your home, because it gives them a sense of safety and comfort.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sandy is CA$45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sandy
I will be rebooking with Robin from here on out - she is absolutely AMAZING. I cannot rave enough about her care for my Great Dane for an entire month while I was gone. She sends detailed updates and pictures and videos, and Delilah (my dog) took to her immediately. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Thank you Robin ❤️
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!
Dylan is fantastic! Daisy normally takes several days to warm up to a new sitter — she'll hide out in our room and barely eat or drink during that adjustment period. That wasn't the case at all with Dylan. She was completely at home with him from day one, and it was so nice getting pictures of her being her normal, happy self so early on. While we were away, Daisy wasn't stressed, and there wasn't a single accident in the house. Since we've been back, she's been totally herself — no clinginess, no signs of anxiety, nothing to work through. On top of all that, the house looked great when we got home, and Dylan was communicative and easy to work with the whole time. We'd recommend him without hesitation and will definitely be booking him again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sandy on Rover is $28 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,754 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sandy. 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 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.
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 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 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.
