“Betty is always just absolutely the best. Spending so much time with the babies, taking photos, sending report cards, and being a great person. We feel lucky to have her in our life, and so do our dogs!”
“Michelle was amazing. We were gone for 10 days in Europe and have a senior dog and she was fantastic making sure Ruby was comfortable and well cared for in our home. She communicated frequently and with lots of pics so our minds were at ease. She was attentive and the house was well taken care of too. We love Michelle!”
“Cindy was so great with my cats and watching after my place while I was gone for a long weekend! She made time to come over and meet with me for my last minute booking and she sent many pictures throughout the time! So thankful to have her watch the cats!!”
“I’ve used tawny 3 times now and as usual he did a great job. I know my pups and my home were in good hands and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality pet care.”
“Diana was such a pleasure to have in our home! She was so thoughtful and considerate. She sent pictures every day, and the dogs absolutely loved her. She took them for walks, they snuggled on the couch, she spent time with them outside, and when I got home, the house was absolutely spotless. I’m almost hesitant to leave such a glowing review because I want to make sure Diana is available the next time we need a sitter!”
“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.”
“I feel so lucky I found Alexus to dogsit for us while away visiting family. I have two lab mixes that she quickly bonded with, even my timid dog who is very weary of strangers. They were snuggling and playing together within a day or two, I was (happily) shocked! One of our dogs got sick right before we had to leave on our trip, and Alexus took such good care of her and was always willing to go the extra mile for us when our dog needed to go to the vet while we were out of town. She was communicative and sent us daily photos and videos which I loved. She's the best!”
“Danielle was great. Came home and I could tell Chinook had been cared for with love. I'll reach out to Danielle again when headed out of town. If you need a sitter or walk, she's the one.”
“We are so happy with Lena! Lena was always quick to respond and always stayed in touch with updates! Our pup Maizie was so settled when we returned home so we knew she must not have felt stressed during our time away which of course is such a relief! We will not hesitate to reach out to Lena the next time we need a sitter!”
“Xochitl was wonderful. Very friendly and helpful and our boys love her. I would whole heartedly recommend her and I will definitely be asking her back as well.”
“Jessica was amazing with our german shepherd! She was very professional and updated us through out the day with pictures. I will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Caroline was amazing with my 3 dogs! I have a beagle, husky, and a pit/husky mix and I’m always a little nervous with leaving them with someone but Caroline went above and beyond to manage their craziness and give them love!! My dogs loved her and Caroline’s dog Lady! I really appreciate receiving frequent updates about them when I’m away and she was great with sending me pictures regularly and keeping me in the loop. She even took them out to the parks a bunch of times. They looked like they were having a blast! And knowing that means so much while you’re away from your pet! She also treated my house very well while we were away and kept it nice and clean. Definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a house sitter or pet sitter!”
About: Been around dogs and cats my entire life. Started young volunteering at local vet office, former bather in grooming salon, have pet sat for many friends and family. I have 5 cats and one dog currently. I have helped care for many different needs when it comes to cats as well. I'm currently at stay at home mom, so happy to come by morning, lunch time, and evenings. I'm happy to come when you're pet needs it most. I've been around Chihuahuas up to Newfoundlands and all ages and shapes of cats. I'm happy to drop in feed, water, clean dishes or accidents, play, clean litter boxes, give medication, give as much or little attention your babies need. And I will always make sure to leave your home safe and secure before I leave.
About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs through walking, in home sitting, while following routines that help our doggos feel safe. What sets me apart is my reliability, clear communication, and the care I take to understand each dog's individual needs, personality, and comfort level rather than treating visits as rushed check-ins. I intentionally structure my daily and weekly routine around pet care, allowing flexibility for walks, check-ins, and in home sitting while ensuring each dog receives reliable, unrushed attention. When caring for pets in a clients home, I treat both the pet and the space with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I take time to learn each dog's routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while away. Safety is always my top priority. I double check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions, and I stay attentive during walks and potty breaks to avoid stressful or unsafe situations. I keep a calm, consistent energy so pets feel at ease, especially those who experience anxiety when their owners are away. I'm mindful of your home environment as well, I keep things clean, follow house rules closely, and leave your space just as I found it (or better). I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing and can relax knowing they're in good hands. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, cared for, and happy - and for you to feel confident trusting me in your home.
About: I am a lover of cats and dogs. I've watched family pets in our home and they are always welcome on the couches! I am a pet cuddler and not afraid of a little fur or dirt either. I work the usual 8-5, and can check on your pet before and after work. I am available weekends as well if needed. No task is too small when it comes to our fur babies. I have no issues with taking your dog for long walks even if the weather is bad. And yes I can clean up "messes" if needed.
About: I love being around pets and meeting whatever needs they have. Each animal is unique and I enjoy learning what makes each one special! Through patience and compassion I meet pets where they need to be met to provide the best possible care! I do not work in the summers, so besides a few weekend trips, I am completely available! Whatever time or day you and your pet need! I live in an apartment with a dog and a cat so bringing an animal home wouldn't work. But I am willing to go to any location you need to help care for your animal!
“Gaby is a gem! She did SO well with our sweet senior pup, going above and beyond to give her lots of snuggles and attention, sending us frequent updates and cute photos, and taking great care of our house too. She cares deeply about animals and we are grateful she cares for ours too! She came for meet and greets, asked great questions, and noted down all the important details about our dog including medications etc.. We would strongly recommend her to anyone and can’t wait to have her back over to care for our dog again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Taylorsville is $45

I reviewed Michelle on my most recent booking but wanted to add a bit... She really learned how my animals tick and worked with them on some bad habits and enjoyed the good and fun stuff. She had the upmost respect for my home and things. I came home to a clean, orderly house and happy, healthy critters. Eggs collected, poop scooped, litter box cleaned out. Happy to have someone I can trust with my life while I am away.
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Britt stayed overnight with our two dogs for six days and took amazing care of both our pups and our home. She treated our dogs like they were her own and kept us updated with frequent messages and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She also went above and beyond when our AC unexpectedly stopped working. She immediately let us know, and set up fans to keep our dogs comfortable until we got home. We were so grateful knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. She left our home spotless, was incredibly reliable, spent lots of time playing with them and giving them exercise, and made the entire experience completely stress-free. We would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pets.
Christina was so great with our puppy Rusty! We had a wonderful experience! We got regular updates and photos, and it was clear Rusty was well cared for and happy. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’d absolutely book again and highly recommend her!
Eandra was INCREDIBLE with my pups. They loved her and were so comfortable with her. I felt confident that they were taken care of and honestly spoiled with Eandra watching them. I had a lot of hesitation choosing to do rover again, due to a not so great experience, and Eandra was empathetic to my concerns and put my nerves at ease. She also was clean and tidy guest! I would 100% book with her again.
Hayden and Sawyer took really good care of our three dogs while we were away. They were very communicative and sent updates throughout the day which made it less hard being away from the pups. They kept the place spotless and even cleaner than we left it. Thank you both!!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kimberly. We booked the week prior for an overnight so we could take a quick trip to CO for a concert. Kimberly was friendly & communicative the week leading up to the booking and checked in the evening before. She arrived at 6:30 am with such a warm energy and immediately won the pups over. Grimm seemed instantly attached to her! It was very sweet. I was a bit worried since it was our first time using Rover, & the first time leaving the boys with someone other than their grandparents. We felt comfortable with Kimberly right off the bat and we knew our boys were in good hands. I loved that she sent lots of photos & videos while we were away & let us know how well they were doing. She followed all care instructions perfectly. She even left us beautiful flowers she cut from her garden. I would 100% trust Kimberly to care for my furbabies again in the future. I feel blessed to have found and connected with such a good human. Thank you Kimberly! 💛🐾
Ava was a great sitter for our old dog. We needed someone to stay the night and Ava worked with us to make it happen. She was very flexible and a great communicator. Forgot to mention, she helped out over a holiday weekend and even met with us and our dogs at a park to ensure our dogs were friendly
Valona is a doll. She was SO incredibly good with my dogs for both drop-ins during the week and for our week long vacation! She was totally respectful of our home, and made sure my animals were safe, happy and healthy. They were so chill when we got home! I will be asking Velona to sit for me every time. I feel so fortunate to have found her!
Klee has watched our dogs multiple times now, and she has been wonderful every time. Our dogs are always comfortable with her, and we feel completely at ease knowing they are in good hands. She is reliable, caring, and great about keeping us updated. Anytime Klee is available when we need a dog sitter, we would not hesitate to continue using her. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Taylorsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Taylorsville on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,869 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Taylorsville. 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 Taylorsville 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 Taylorsville 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 Taylorsville 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Taylorsville. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
