“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.”
“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!”
“Ash was great. She was very thorough about getting to know our pets routines and their boundaries which is amazing! Our anxious/reactive dog was happy to cuddle up with her and she did a good job at administering all of our pets medication. She clearly cares about animals a lot and has a very gentle and calm attitude with pets. Our cat that hates and gets aggressive with everyone but us seemed to hit it off with her which is awesome! I would definitely recommend Ash!”
“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.”
“Samantha is so kind! She was wonderful with our 3 GSD's for 5 nights, 6 days. She cared for them and played with them and took wonderful care of them and our home. We will definitely be using her again and again and again! I highly recommend her!”
“This is the second time we have used Jessica and we are always very assured. She is super communicative and very accommodating. She understands what it’s like to leave pets in the care of others and for us, she has experience with Frenchies which have to be cared for in a certain way. We didn’t leave our frenchies tjis trip but we would have no issue doing so. She’s amazing!”
“Stephanie was great! She stayed at home with our crazy doggos and gave them all the attention they needed. Definitely gave us peace of mind while we were away.”
“Makenzie was wonderful! She communicated appropriately, sent photos, took our four dogs on walks, kept our house tidy, and above all - she took great care of our doggos! I didn’t have to worry, because I knew they were OK. Would definitely rebook her again!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! So grateful to have her watch Aspen and Ivy. They got to enjoy the park and many walks and snuggles. She sent pictures of their adventures and was a great communicator. Highly recommend!”
“We have used Michelle a lot for the care of our two golden doodles. They absolutely love her and I can tell Michelle treats them like her own pups. We can’t recommend her enough.”
“As always Betty did an incredible job! The level of effort and level she puts into making sure our fur families needs are met is unmatched. She will forever be my first choice when thinking of animal care.”
“We got last minute tickets to the World Cup and needed someone to look after the pets for the weekend. Gene stepped in to help us (as per usual!) and we came home to two happy little animals. Highly recommend.”
“Kathryn was amazing. We had a previous bad experience with someone else and Kathryn went out of her way to spend an hour with us on a meet and greet before she dog sat for us. She listened to all of our concerns and genuinely heard them. She sent us a million photos of our pups when we were gone and was super communicative. We came back an hour early and she was sweeping our apartment when we arrived! We came back to a spotless apartment. Could not have been happier. Will definitely use Kathryn again in the future.”
“She was patient with our youngest dog who managed to get very messy twice in our backyard and she took the time to get her all cleaned up despite watching our 3 dogs for the week. 3 dogs can be a handful and she did wonderful.”
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.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 8 years old. While most of my experience has been with small mammals, my favorite pets have been my family dogs. I always helped with their care, feeding, bathing, and exercising them, and loved every minute of it! I’ve also helped friends and newbies care for their pets when they’ve gone out of town and have always found it very rewarding! I am a premed student, so my schedule is often a bit like Tetris. But it also means that I’m really good at organizing and prioritizing my time. I currently don’t have pets of my own, but when you hire me I will make accommodations to my schedule. If you have questions about specific times just message me, I’m happy to figure something out!! My availability on here is in general, I may be able to make arrangements on a case by case basis. Your pet is a huge part of your life. I know mine have always been. I will follow your lead on their care to the best of my abilities and work with how you do things to keep your pet happy. I will probably talk to them and give them lots of compliments and praise, and maybe the occasional lesson on what I’m studying, making sure to give them enough time and attention to keep them happy!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Jordan
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.
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!
Justine is great! She took good care of our dog and provided companionship when my wife and I were out of town for a few days. She also went the extra mile and cleaned up after our dog and watered the outdoor plants. We will definitely be inviting Justine to sit for us again soon!
We had Spencer house sit for our 4-year-old large-breed guardian pup, and he was fantastic! He kept us updated with regular messages and photos and was always quick to respond. He was patient and understanding of Anna's guardian-breed barking and gave her plenty of love and attention. He took wonderful care of both Anna and our home. We wouldn't hesitate to hire him again!
I’m so happy we found Kinzie! We requested pet care just a day in advance, and she was able to accommodate us. She took great care of our dogs, was very responsive, and incredibly kind throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for reliable pet care!

FAQs for House Sitting - South Jordan
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Jordan on Rover is $59.24 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 2,789 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Jordan. 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 South Jordan 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 South Jordan 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 South Jordan 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.
