“Bailey was fantastic, and I would highly recommend her dog-sitting services. She came by beforehand to meet my dogs, and they immediately responded well to her calm, friendly demeanor. She followed all of my instructions carefully and communicated promptly whenever she had a question. When we returned, our home was exactly as we had left it, and most importantly, our pups were happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using Bailey again.”

Highly recommend Ashlie!! She is so sweet and really does care for your pets and wants to make sure they have a good time. Thanks Ashlie!”
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.
“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.”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home with Enzo for 11 nights, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Leaving Enzo is incredibly hard for us—he’s our baby—and Emily went above and beyond to put our minds at ease. She sent photos and short videos throughout each day, including meals, walks, enrichment, and goodnights, and always kept us informed or asked questions when needed. It was clear from her updates—and their very sweet goodbye when we got home—that Enzo genuinely loved her. She was also incredibly respectful of our home. We left a clean house and came home to one, which was so appreciated after a long trip. Emily is sweet, funny, communicative, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I felt like both Enzo and our home were in wonderful hands. 10/10—we would absolutely trust Emily with Enzo again and highly recommend her!”
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.
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.
“Karen did a wonderful job pet sitting for our two dogs. She had great communication and sent us photos and updates throughout the trip. She left our house in wonderful condition at the end of her job. We would use Karen again.”
About: I work at a vet cleaning dog kennels on Weekend mornings. I like all the different kinds of dogs there are. I am always willing to help out at the vet if needed. My schedule is wide open! I'm currently living with my parents. I am hoping working with Rover will work into full time hours. Availabilty will not be difficult for me. I have a fenced in backyard with lots of room to play and I have one calico cat. That I take good care of. I can easily take your dogs for walks and check in on your lovable fur baby.
“Excellent service! We were so lucky to find Erin with such short notice to care for our pup. She took great care and managed to trek through the tons of snow on the roads to be here, despite the difficulties. We look forward to working with Erin again in the near future!”
“I was so impressed with Tawny. I have never left my dogs with a dog care center before. All three with different personalities and he took care of everyone of their needs. I loved that he took him on a field trip that they really enjoyed. I would highly recommend Toni to take care of your dog. Thank you Tawny for making my dogs feel special.”
About: I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment where every dog gets individual attention. With experience training dogs, I understand behavior and focus on keeping dogs calm, well-behaved, and comfortable through consistent routines, exercise, and positive reinforcement. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs and make sure owners stay updated with photos and messages, so you always know your pet is in good hands. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like my own—prioritizing safety, trust, and a stress-free experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and attention throughout the day.

With experience training dogs, I’m very aware of behavior and body language, which helps me prevent issues before they start. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and rest so dogs feel comfortable and secure. I always supervise interactions, keep a clean and pet-safe space, and follow each dog’s specific needs and instructions. Whether in my home or a client’s, I focus on building trust, reducing stress, and making sure every dog feels safe, cared for, and at ease.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sandy City
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.
Thanks for taking such good care of Nala and dealing with the gas issues at the house! I know Nala adores you and it makes it so much easier for me to travel! I appreciated your open communication with what was going on and making yourself available for when the plumber had to be in the house.
Once again, Rachel did amazing caring for our 2 high energy dogs while we were away for the long weekend. She did excellent making sure our dog with a chronic illness was taken care of and supplied endless frisbee time for our other. I highly recommend Rachel!!
Liza was a great choice for watching my sweet boy, Banjo! I had a night shift at the hospital, and my dog needed to be able to go the bathroom every few hours. Liza was so prompt in answering my request and was so willing to help me out. She was very gracious bringing my dog out through the night. She went above and beyond with walks around the neighborhood before bed and upon waking up. I would recommend Liza if you want a gentle presence to be with your beloved pet!
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Sandy City is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $47 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 City 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 City 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 City 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sandy City. On Rover:
- 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.
