“Cindy came a met Storm before her first sitting, was curious and asked lots of questions. Cindy took lots of photos for us which we loved. She followed our instructions and asked questions as needed. Storm was well adjusted when we came home and happy.”
“My wife and I have asked Michelle to house and dog sit several times and she continues to be incredible. We trust her with everything! We just got back into town from a 5 day trip and she cleaned the sheets, towels, bathroom, kitchen, living room, and fridge before she left. We know our dog is in great hands - she sends several updates per day, each with better pictures of our dog than we are able to take.”
“Mark is the best! He kept us thoroughly updated on his and our dogs’ days, and we so appreciated it. He made sure our Willy was comfortable with him. He went above and beyond and he’s amazing. Will always use him.”
“We were really worried about leaving our fur babies alone for a week and a half, but Betty put all those worries to rest! She took the time to come over and learn their personalities and any house rules twice before we left. While we were gone, she always kept us updated and took the absolute best pictures and videos! She even left us a lovely note for us to read when we got back. Highly recommend Betty, and will be using her for any future vacation.”
“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!”
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 always been an animal lover, especially dogs and cats ever since I was little. I have taken care of many pets and have even contributed to rescuing dogs from Puerto Rico. I am currently going to school and working part-time. I have 1 in person class on Mondays and the rest are online and for work I usually work on Saturdays so I have plenty of time to take care of any pets on Tuesdays through Fridays and I can also do Sundays! I always care for a pet as they are my own. I am willing to keep each pets routine as consistent and make sure they aren’t too stressed out. In my home, my four pets have a clean environment, I always give them a lot of attention, play time, frequent exercise, and regular potty breaks. I can follow the owners instructions for feeding schedules, exercise, and any other special requirements that your pet might need. I always make sure that pets have fresh water and food, and also a comfortable place to rest. If I am caring for pets at a clients home, I make sure to always respect their space and maintain the pets daily routine. I will provide walks, playtime, feeding, litter box or yard cleanup, and a lots of loves and cuddles to the pets and make sure they are relaxed and comfortable while the owner is away. I will also send updates and pictures to keep the owners updated and let them know that their pets are happy and cared for!
“I had to leave town for some family business and I have to admit I had some anxieties about leaving my house and 2 dogs with someone I had never met. I first meet Alex at a neighborhood park near me for a meet and greet. After the initial pleasantries I invited Alex over to my house to help familiarize her with the house. I left on my trip and the first evening Alex texted me some pictures of the dogs. It was obvious the dogs were happy, and the rest of my concerns melted away. She texted me pictures every evening while I was gone. There was some great shots. I had also agreed to have Alex clean the house while I was gone. When I did arrive home the house was shinny clean, and the dogs were happy to see me. Alex exceeded my expectations! Next time I plan on leaving town I will contact Alex and know that every thing is in good hands.”
“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.”
“Emma has taken my dog on a couple walks and done an overnight, too! She did a great job, made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her, and I have already rebooked her again!”
“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.”
“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!”
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!
“Chilali took great care of our 2 dogs, our cat, and our house over 2.5 weeks while we were gone internationally. All of our animals loved her and gave her plenty of snuggles. She was prompt with communications, updates, and pictures. She followed our instructions and asked questions for clarifications.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Valley City
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.
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!!
Alex did such an amazing job with my Lucy. It was her first time being left home alone with someone who wasn’t family . She let Lucy warm up to her at her own pace and helped her feel safe and comfortable . She took her for lots of walks , played with her, and gave her all of the loves . She also captured the most amazing and silly photos of Lucy .
Love Nikki!!!!! Nikki took such great care of our boys Chase (German Shepherd) and Simba (cat). She kept in great contact and updated us on how everyone was doing. Honestly, I think the boys would prefer her to come back and us leave. 😂 Both boys felt at ease with Nikki, and I felt so comfortable leaving my house and babies in her care. Without a doubt Nikki is my go-to sitter.
Abby was so great with my anxious pup and zany cat. They seemed so comfortable with her! Abby provided great updates (including photos!) which was great for my peace of mind while away. She also left my place spotless! I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Meredith was AMAZING She was extremely intentional with our two very active pups. She took them to hikes, porch plays & backyard hangs. She followed instructions to a T, and went over and beyond-she did laundry and even helped introduce our girls to some new training techniques. She was very communicative over our whole trip, which we were so grateful for as this is the first time we have left them with someone who isn't family. We would have Meredith again and again, she is truly amazing!!
Kolby was absolutely amazing with my two chihuahuas! They got so much love and attention while we were away that I think they were actually a little sad when we came home. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. I would definitely book with Kolby again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - West Valley City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Valley City on Rover is $42.74 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 2,787 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Valley City. 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 Valley City 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 Valley City 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 Valley City 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.
