“Katelyn was awesome! She kept us updated on how our fur babies were doing while we were out of town. We always appreciate good communication so we will definitely have her watch our pets again! She kept the house tidy and the pets well taken care of.”
“Dorian was terrific. From the moment we met him we felt confident that our kitty and our home would be well taken care of. He did not disappoint. We would gladly have him stay anytime we are away.”
About: With over 10 years of pet care experience, I haven't just grown up with dogs and cats; I also have a Labrador of my own. I go beyond the basics – outdoor walks, running sessions, ball games for dogs, and interactive "mouse" chasing for cats. When permitted, I provide nutritious homemade meals for that extra tender loving care. Offering a personalized touch, I ensure furry friends receive love, attention, and ample playtime. Sharing joyful moments through pictures with the owners, I keep pet parents reassured and their pets content. Your fur babies are in caring hands! I currently work from home, providing me with a highly flexible schedule. I am available for pet care during early mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I am also available overnight for the most part. For the house sitting service, I create a safe and trustworthy environment as a pet sitter. My two-story house, coupled with a spacious backyard, ensures ample space for pets. There are also nearby walking sites in the neighborhood. My Labrador, Kano, is sociable and enjoys the company of small dogs in my home. Your pets will feel comfortable and welcomed in this pet-friendly space.
“Monica has been such an amazing sitter for puddy. She sent frequent updates, gave him lots it love and attention and just made me feel totally stress free knowing that she was there to take care of puddy. I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since the age of sixteen. Family members and friends have trusted me in taking care of their fur babies when needed. I work full-time during the week, but my weekends are flexible for care Friday through Sunday. I’m available if needed for pop in’s or walks during the week in the evenings. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs that would love to play. Also, if you prefer to keep your fur baby crated I can do that for you.
“This is our second booking with Michelle & she was amazing with our Pomeranian Maggie who is so sensitive and gentle. Both times Maggie was really happy when we returned and enjoyed her time with Michelle. Michelle is also really sweet and very attentive and accommodating. Will be reaching out to Michelle on our next Austin stay!”
About: I have been pet sitting for friends for 10 years now. I love to spoil your babies, and treat them like my own family. My grandpup enjoys home made treats and pup ice cream. I have taken care of several animals over the years, including horses, cows, chickens, dogs, cats, birds, Guinea pigs. I am looking forward to being a Foster Mom to some Bassett hounds in the near future. I am comfortable giving medication to your dog or cat, I was a paramedic for 25 years, so I am comfortable giving injections and IV's. I have had older dogs with special needs, so know how to care for your family member. I have references available upon request. Let me know when I get to meet a new friend. Your fur babies are safe with me.
“I am incredibly neurotic about my dogs, and I avoid having a dog sitter at almost any cost, since it breaks my heart to leave my dogs. Alexa came very highly recommended from a friend when I absolutely needed a sitter, so we met with her and booked. I worried exactly ZERO times when Alexa was dog sitting, she was incredible in every single way. My quirky dogs who sometimes need to be hand fed and take meds twice a day absolutely loved Alexa and it was evident right away how great she is. The house was impeccable when we returned as well. I just can’t say enough amazing things. We will absolutely be using Alexa again!”
“Revant was an outstanding dog sitter who went above and beyond my expectations. He not only is a wonderful communicator, I felt grateful for all the love he showed to my needy dog Marlowe, who just loved affection. He was available last minute when my original site cancelled, I couldn’t have found a better person to care for my dog. I would highly recommend him if you adore your pets!”
“Eve was wonderful. She took excellent care of our pup and our apartment while we were gone. She was responsive, kind, and responsible. Would absolutely book again. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our puppy.”
“Daniela was such an amazing dog sitter! Our dogs had the absolute best time with her while we were away out if the country. She was very communicative and shared the sweetest images of them having the best time. Will definitely be having her sit for us any time we are away!”
About: I have had a few dogs from friends and families that I have taken care of over the years for free. I have my own dog that I have had since he was a puppy that is very well trained would love to meet other dogs and experience new fur friends. I work at home and I take breaks very very often. I go to my backyard and even parks just to walk. I would love to take them for walks as well. I have a fenced in backyard and my dogs go out often. Morning, Afternoon, and 2 times in the evening. Just to make sure dogs use the bathroom and get that energy out before they fall asleep.
“Nancy was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of puppy while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. She kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, and it was clear that Onyx was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She went above and beyond, and we truly appreciated all the love and attention she gave him. I would absolutely book with Nancy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. Thank you so much, Nancy!”
“Alicia was wonderful!! Our dog was in love and bonded immediately with Alicia. She took excellent care of our home and even better care of our pet. We highly recommend Alicia and will most definitely be booking again!”
About: I’ve worked at a doggy daycare, where my early-morning shifts included cleaning, feeding, and supervising group playtimes with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m also a longtime pet owner - my cat, Nico, came to me as a stray kitten, and my dog, Dotty Parton, started as a foster and became a permanent part of the family. I work as freelancer, so my schedule is flexible and I’m able to accommodate pet care throughout the week. I can often adjust my day around appointments to fit your pet’s routine. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home, and I understand the trust involved in having someone care for your animals while you’re away. I’ve used pet sitters for my own pets, so I know how important it is to have someone who is dependable, communicative, and treats your home with care.
“Amanda is so sweet and was an amazing sitter for my cat, Cleo. She gave wonderful care to my very spoiled girl, followed every instruction, sent the best updates and kept my place clean. Cleo looked so comfortable and happy with her in every photo I received. I’m so thankful! Will be booking again. ❤️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Utley is $27 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $27 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 Utley 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 Utley 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 Utley 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.
