“Sadie is so happy and relaxed. You took perfect care of her. She is as relaxed as I’ve ever seen her.🐶🐾♥️ The home was amazing you vacuumed everywhere and did the laundry and cleaned up. It’s definitely much cleaner than I left it. Also shoveled the snow from all driveways and walkways. I think you really went above and beyond expectation clearing off all the snow. ❄️ Thanks!”
“Michelle was an amazing pet sitter for our cat. We had her stay at our home and keep our cat company for a week while we were on vacation. Our cat, who can be wary of strangers, immediately took to her. She was very communicative and frequently sent us update about our kitty, which was nice since it was our first time away from her. She also took care of our place while we were away. 10/10 We would definitely use her service again.”
“Anna is delightful and we are so glad to have found her. Our dogs were comfortable with her immediately She is responsible and a great communicator. She left our home in great shape- above and beyond Definitely 5 stars!”
About: Hello, My name is Kennedy and I recently earned my bachelors degree from the university of Utah and I love animals! (Want to preface that my dog would not be at any of your locations) 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 (luckily I work from home), 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! Currently I am going to homes, or taking walks :) you can trust me with your dog (your baby) and I have no problem with meet and greets to see if it’s the right fit.
About: My family and I have been pet sitting for 10 years and love it! I have been working as a Veterinary Technician for 15+ years. During this time I have routinely watched friends, coworkers and clients pets. I am also a professional dog trainer. I am comfortable with all of your pets needs! My dog pack is very welcoming to new dogs and help your furry family member stay calm while you are away. They also help exercise with all the play! Your dog will come home tired ;) It is my #1 priority that your dog enjoys their stay! They should be excited to come back! I specialize in cats, special needs animals and high numbers. (I house sit for some breeder friends) I have experience with all dog breeds, cats and horses. I am happy to take care of any needs your pets may have including medications, grooming, training and exercise. I work at Lone Peak Vet part time in the morning. The afternoon and evening and dedicated to enrichment for my dogs are any that are boarding with me. This includes play, physical exercise and mental exercise! Dogs are part of the family while they are here with us! They are outside only for potty and play breaks. When I am not home everyone is kenneled. Most dogs are also kenneled overnight, depending on their preference.
“Makenzie is amazing! I booked her on short notice, and she went out of her way to make sure we met and felt comfortable. We have three dogs—two Boston Terriers and a French Bulldog puppy—and she handled everything beautifully. I really appreciate her being upfront, and her rates are very reasonable. She followed the walking, medication, and feeding schedule perfectly. Makenzie is kind, responsible, and clearly loves animals. When we came home, the house was clean, she had even washed her own sheets, and most importantly—the dogs were well taken care of. I will definitely reach out to her again!”
“Ashlie was AMAZING. She arrived early and was super knowledgeable about how to handle puppies. She is quick to respond, she also took amazing pictures of our puppy, Roxas. On top of that, she even taught him a new trick while we were away- “shake”! Super grateful to have her as a sitter, she really is one of the best. We are so happy that she has helped us build On Roxas’s list of commands :) Roxas Warmed up to her so quickly too! You are in good hands with Ashlie as a sitter!”
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.
“We love Anna & Stephen so much! So glad we found them! They are so good to our animals. Most importantly all our animals love them too! They are very communicative everyday. When Anna & Stephen stay with our pups, we know they are safe and happy and in good hands.”
“Betty was awesome! She was very attentive to our dog and his needs. She sent us photos and updates every day, and adhered to our dog’s schedule and routine. She’s a trustworthy & responsible person, and we will definitely book her services again.”
“Veronica was very responsive. She had a nice calm presence and made a point to befriend our cats on her first visit. She was a wonderful house and pet sitter. We had many plants that required daily watering, and two cats who love their back yard time. She was great at giving us photos and feedback while we were away. We were pleasantly surprised at how tidy things were when we returned also. I wouldn't hesitate to have Veronica back. I felt our home and pets were very well cared for in our absence.”
“Danielle was so wonderful with my sweet Sammy who is losing her vision. She was just who I needed to step in when I had to leave town to make sure my pup was in the best hands. Thank you so much Danielle!”
“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.”
“Bradley took wonderful care of our French bulldog. He was communicative the whole time, sending updates so we never had to wonder how things were going. He was also great about praising how well our boy was doing, which made us feel so confident leaving him in his hands. He didn’t hesitate to give Buster all the snuggles, which is exactly what a Frenchie needs. Our dog was clearly happy and comfortable. We wouldn't hesitate to book Bradley again!”
“Michelle was wonderful! Our dog absolutely loved her and we loved her frequent pictures and updates. She was very thorough and made sure she fully understood our dog’s needs. She also fed our fish and took great care of our apartment which was greatly appreciated. We loved how communicative and professional she was. We look forward to booking with her again when we need another sit!”
About: I always grew up having pets. First a bunny, then we got a geico. Then a cat. My sister has since gotten a dog and has had me dog sit him multiple times I have a remote job with lots of flexibility on when I do it. So I'm very flexible on what I can do and timing Since I work remote pet sit at your house sit I won't have to go very many places, so the pet won't have to go into a crate very often or for very long

I am just so grateful to have found Kaitlyn. She is absolutely amazing and took the best care of my pup. She is incredibly responsible and really went above and beyond to ensure my pup was eating and happy, took excellent care of my place, and was so communicative which gave me such peace of mind while traveling.
So grateful to have Samantha watch my cats! They can be shy and skittish so it was a huge relief to have someone who is willing to spend enough time with my cats to gain their trust. She was available last minute when I had a family emergency and it made such a difference to know they were in loving hands. Would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be reaching out again next time I need a sitter.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sandy is $29 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $73 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
