“This was our first time using Jessica, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable and knew our dogs were in good hands. She was incredibly communicative throughout our trip and never made me feel like I was being a worry wart. She understood that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful and was always kind, responsive, and reassuring. Jessica took excellent care of our dogs, especially our French Bulldog, who requires extra attention in the Utah heat. She clearly took her responsibilities seriously, made sure they had plenty of potty and outdoor breaks, cleaned up after them, and paid close attention to their needs. She also took great care of our home, brought in our packages, and left everything just as we had hoped. We truly lucked out finding Jessica. We would absolutely book with her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy Rover sitter.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 8 years and currently have cats of my own, including a Maine Coon and a Siberian. I have experience caring for cats after surgery, administering oral and eye medications, grooming, and trimming nails. I’m comfortable caring for shy, senior, energetic, and independent cats, and I provide attentive care including feeding, refreshing water, scooping litter boxes, playtime, and lots of love. As a cat owner myself, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your cat in someone else’s care. I know how important it is to find someone you trust who will treat your pet like family. I take the time to learn each cat’s unique personality and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. After every visit, I’ll send photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is happy, healthy, and receiving the best care possible. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the day and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. Because I have a flexible work schedule, I can often adjust visit times to fit your cat’s routine and provide consistent care while you’re away. I understand that cats are happiest when they can stay in their own environment and maintain their normal routine. During each visit, I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention based on their personality and comfort level. I’ll treat your home with respect, follow any care instructions carefully, and send photo updates after each visit so you can feel confident your cat is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Isabelle took great care of our dog and our home. Everything was immaculate when we returned and our dog was happy and healthy. We will definitely ask Isabelle to stay in our home with our dog again!”
“Makayla dog sat at our house for a week and did a great job. We felt at ease knowing that our pup was being taken care of. She sent photo updates. She was responsive and communicative and very polite. Will hire again!”
“Mark was awesome with our three dogs! He was kind and patient, particularly with our fearful rescue. He had to navigate some very nervous evenings with fireworks going off and did so with so much compassion and care, including administering medication. He managed their complex relationships and personalities without missing a beat and we will be eager to have him back for future housesitting for our pups!”
“Sarah recently watched my dog Diane for the first time. Diane only hesitantly trusts people but Sarah has a way about her and was able to gain Diane's trust quickly. Sarah is very responsive to messages. She sent updates and pictures every day. I didn't have to worry about Diane as I knew she was in capable hands. I would use Sarah as a sitter again and highly recommend her.”
About: Hi there! I’m excited to offer dependable dog and house sitting services and give your pets a calm, loving presence while you’re away. I work remotely Monday-Thursday, which means I’m home throughout the day and able to give your pets plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and consistent care. I understand how important routine is for your fur babies, and I’m committed to keeping their schedule as normal and stress-free as possible. I’m also an experienced housesitter through TrustedHousesitters, where I’ve cared for both pets and homes with great responsibility and attention to detail. I take pride in not just caring for animals, but also respecting and maintaining your home as if it were my own by keeping things tidy, secure, and well cared for, including plants and general upkeep. I’m single and new to Utah, with no local friends or family nearby, which means I genuinely enjoy the quiet companionship of animals and have the flexibility to fully focus on your pets while I’m staying in your home. I’m reliable, respectful, and communicative, and I understand the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and care for your beloved pets. My goal is always to make your time away worry free, knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well loved. :) Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work remotely Monday through Thursday, so I am home throughout the day. I’m able to build my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins so pets get consistent attention and companionship. I enjoy having furry friends as part of my day and can easily adjust my routine to meet their needs. I care for pets by keeping their routine consistent and giving them steady attention throughout the day since I work remotely from home Monday-Thursday. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get regular walks or playtime, and feel comfortable and cared for based on their individual needs and personality. In a client’s home, I also respect and maintain the space by following instructions closely, keeping things clean and secure, and looking after plants or other household needs. My goal is to make pets feel safe and relaxed while giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.
“Sadie is so happy and relaxed. You took perfect care of her. She is as relaxed as I’ve ever seen her.🐶🐾♥️ The home was amazing you vacuumed everywhere and did the laundry and cleaned up. It’s definitely much cleaner than I left it. Also shoveled the snow from all driveways and walkways. I think you really went above and beyond expectation clearing off all the snow. ❄️ Thanks!”
About: Hi, I’m Jay, and my wife Cindy is a full-time mom to our teenage daughter and our dog. Cindy grew up on a farm, which sparked her lifelong love for animals and plants. Over the years, we’ve cared for two Havanese dogs and a yellow Labrador Retriever. We currently have a very sweet female Havanese who gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Our daughter also loves playing with dogs and takes great care of them. We have a spacious, fenced yard where your small dog can play safely. We only accept hypoallergenic or non-shedding breeds. We generally welcome dogs weighing between 3 and 25 pounds and allow them to lounge on our couches. However, for safety reasons, we cannot accommodate aggressive dogs, so you may need to find another sitter in that case. Cindy is a full-time stay-at-home mom, so dogs in our care receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Our whole family genuinely loves having dogs around, and we treat every pup as part of our family while they’re with us. We’re happy to provide dog beds, bowls, toys, and a crate if needed. We’re typically available 24/7 and always make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Hello! I’m Jay’s wife, Cindy. I start my mornings at 6 AM by heading out to the backyard with the dogs, and I love making sure they’re well cared for throughout the day. Mealtime is one of my favorite moments with them, so if you have any specific requests regarding your dog’s food, please feel free to let me know anytime! When dogs visit for the first time, they often want to go outside to the backyard every 30 minutes to an hour. This is usually because they are curious and exploring their new environment, seeking comfort in open spaces, marking their territory, or simply adjusting their bathroom habits while settling in. I enjoy spending time outside with the dogs, watching them explore and playing fetch—especially when the weather is nice. Even when they’re just roaming around the backyard, I always keep an eye on them to ensure they’re safe. When it’s time for a nap, I let the dogs rest peacefully while I send updates to their owners. I love being home all day, sharing my time with the dogs and my family. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or needs some extra attention, I always tailor their care to ensure they’re comfortable and happy. Caring for dogs has been a big part of my life. Over the past five years, I’ve raised and nurtured dozens of Havanese and Labrador Retriever puppies before helping them find their forever homes. I also have a passion for photography! With my background in film, video production, and visual effects design, I love capturing special moments of the dogs through photos. I’m always happy to adjust to your dog’s preferences and needs, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any special requests or questions!
About: I’m a responsible college student who genuinely loves animals and enjoys spending time caring for them. While I’ve only taken care of a few dogs so far, I’m very attentive, patient, and committed to making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m great at following instructions, keeping routines consistent, and paying attention to details like feeding schedules, walks, and playtime. I’m also very respectful of people’s homes and can help with small tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants. I will always communicate clearly and send updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands! I’m a BYU student with classes from 10 AM–1 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays, and a 12–1 PM class Monday through Thursday. Outside of these times, I can provide dedicated cat care, including feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, and companionship. I can visit multiple times a day or stay for longer periods depending on your cat’s needs. I’m flexible and committed to maintaining your cat’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I care for cats by creating a calm, secure, and clean environment. I follow all instructions for feeding, litter box maintenance, and playtime. I always respect each cat’s personality and boundaries, ensuring they feel safe and loved. Your home and your cat’s wellbeing are my top priorities.
“Kyla is truly the best! She has been watching my dog since she was 3 and I never have to worry about how she’s doing when I’m gone. Kyla really goes out of her way to make her feel comfortable and happy while i am gone. 10/10 high recommend!”
About: I have over 20 years of experience pet sitting and boarding for families who want to be able to go out of town with no worries about their pet while they are away. I run a non profit dog rescue and am also very experienced in identifying medical problems or special needs with any dog that I am caring for. I will give your pets one on one attention and love while you are away and make them part of my family. I am willing to take in special needs or difficult dogs. I have references from previous clients I have pet sat for. Dogs are my life and your dog will be safe under my care. I will send updates during your time away with pictures and information. They will snuggle on the couches with me and sleep with me if they choose to. I do require that your dog can be crated if I need to leave for an amount of time. This is for their safety. Safety is my #1 concern for your pet. Come visit me with your precious furkids to see first hand my knowledge, love and experience. I want you to be able to leave and not have to worry. References are available upon request.
About: My pup is deaf and I value when a sitter keeps me in the loop. I send frequent updates, photos, and videos so you always feel connected and reassured as well I love long walks, playtime, and keeping pets active and engaged, not just fed and let out. They’re not just guests, they’re family at my house I provide the same level of love and attention whether pets are in my home or their own. In my home, I create a safe, cozy environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles while keeping their routines consistent. When I’m in a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space and follow their pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and secure. My goal is always to make pets feel at ease, cared for, and happy no matter where they are.
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was born. When I was around 13 is when I first started babysitting animals for neighbors. I love animals more than anything and find so much joy in being with them. They have such genuine souls. I do have another job so I tend to work around that and this! My other job is 5 days a week but different shifts every week! I’m always happy to work around you and your pups/kitties needs! I will happily play with your animals and take them on walks, feed them, and take them out to go to the bathroom. I will sleep with them if needed and help with whatever their needs are. I do always tend to bring my boyfriend along with me. He is a big animal lover and I also do it for my safety as well! We love animals and have 5 of our own!
“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.”

FAQs for House Sitting - West Mercur
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,162 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Mercur. 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 West Mercur 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 West Mercur 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 West Mercur 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.
