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.
“Ashlie is amazing! We had to be gone for a week and needed a sitter to stay over and watch our attention loving german shepard. She was wonderful caring for her and kept her company while we were away. Ashlie is very communicative and easy going. We even got wonderful pictures of our dog while we were away. 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!”
“Pup was happy and well taken care of and the house was cleaner than when we left, kept us well in the loop with great communication! Would definitely recommend”
“Madison is WONDERFUL. She creates a very positive first impression. We left for the weekend feeling 100% confident that our pups were in good hands. She is an excellent communicator and took great care of our three dogs. We returned to happy pups! She went above and beyond by cleaning up, too! We feel very fortunate that Madison is working with Rover. We'll contact her first for our next adventure. Thank you, Madison!”
“Emily is the BEST!! Our three dogs absolutely love her! She is very attentive, caring, and our pups always have the best time. I would recommend Emily for any dog care services. We have used her multiple times and every experience has been extremely positive.”
“We have had amazing dog sitters before so I’m not sure how it is possible but she tops everyone we have had. I have such peace of mind when we are away, she does everything we ask her to do and communicates well. I can literally go away and not stress over how our three dogs are cared for. She is most definitely our go to.”
“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.”
“Absolutely amazing experience with Anna and Stephen. I can’t recommend them enough and how seamless the process was with Anna. She came to my apartment and asked questions, learned Stormy’s routine and genuinely cared about Stormy’s comfort and routine. I received multiple collages of pictures which put me at ease during my trip. I now have peace of mind knowing that for future trips, my pet will be in the best hands possible”
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.
“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!”
“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”
“Tawny was so great with our dog, Hank! Took her on walks and was very attentive with her. He is an excellent communicator. Keeping us up to date before he arrived and while watching Hank. I would definitely book him again!”
“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!”
“We are so happy Erika was able to watch our dog, Boss, while we were out of town for the weekend. She came over beforehand, got to meet Boss, and got a great idea of his daily routine- which we greatly appreciated! Throughout the weekend, we were kept constantly updated with a ton of pictures and can confidently recommend having Erika watch your 4 legged friend! Boss is a huge fan too 🐶”

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.
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!!
Kelly is an outstanding petsitter and homesitter: My wife and I get frequent updates and pictures letting us that our dogs and cats are doing well, which is a huge relief while we’re out of town! She also takes care of our house and leaves it clean for our arrival. Unquestionably Kelly is the best sitter we have had in the many years we have had pets!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sandy Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sandy Hills is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $83 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,689 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sandy Hills. 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 Hills 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 Hills 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 Hills 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.

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.
