“Tawny was so great with our dog, Hank! Took her on walks and was very attentive with her. He is an excellent communicator. Keeping us up to date before he arrived and while watching Hank. I would definitely book him again!”
“Christina took great care of our dog, left the house clean, and communicated with us while we were gone. She was amazing and I’d definitely recommend her!!!”
“Michelle was the best sitter we could've asked for! We went on vacation to Europe for 2.5 weeks and she stayed in our home to look after our cat and dog. She took amazing care of both our pets and our home. We have a high maintenance (aka neurotic!) border collie and she handled all her quirks perfectly. We left quite detailed instructions and Michelle followed them to a tee. She was a really great communicator and kept us updated with info and pics every day (even taking into consideration the time difference!). We came home to two happy little pets and a spotless house. Can't recommend her enough!!!”
“Mark took amazing care of our pets on our vacation. Sent very thorough reports and pictures that left me with so much peace of mind. One of our cats got in a fight while we were gone and he took care of him like it was his own cat. I will absolutely use him again and would 100% recommend.”
“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!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I’m dependable, attentive, and take the time to understand each pet’s routine and needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or extra attention, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I also provide regular updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is my primary focus, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I’m available weekdays, weekends, and most holidays, and I can often accommodate last-minute bookings. I prioritize reliability, consistency, and making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive, structured care tailored to each pet’s routine. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I do not allow in-home tours, which helps keep drop-offs calm and structured. I also provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while away.
“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.”
“Alex is a life saver! She was such an amazing house-sitter for our slightly anxious dog Maggie. It was our first vacation away since we rescued her and Alex made us feel so comfortable leaving and knowing she would take care of everything. She really took the time to bond with Maggie, giving her a lot of care and attention, and we loved seeing the photo updates of her having so much fun while we were away. Alex was totally professional with the tasks of caring for Maggie and excellent with communication. You can also tell how much she cares about the job and we came home to a clean house and such a happy dog. We couldn't ask for more!”
“Alicia was super helpful in keeping my cat company while I was out of town. Her professionalism and competence gave me peace of mind while I had to be away from my pet!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Payton! They truly went above and beyond, giving updates, extra love and attention, and making me feel completely at ease while i was away. I came home to a happy, calm, and well cared for pup. I am incredibly grateful and would absolutely book with them again!”
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 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!”
“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! 💛🐾”

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I've owned both cats and dogs throughout the years and have cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and coworkers while they were away. My experience includes dogs, cats, birds, fish, and turtles, and I enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and needs. I also completed basic training in a veterinary assistant program before it unfortunately closed. That experience gave me a better understanding of animal health, behavior, and the importance of attentive care. My long-term dream is to continue my education and eventually open an animal sanctuary where I can provide a safe, loving place for animals in need. Until then, I'm grateful for every opportunity to care for pets and treat them with the same love, patience, and respect I would give my own. I work full time Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM and Fridays from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. My lunch break is from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, and I may be able to extend it if your pet needs extra time for a potty break, walk, or some attention during the day. I'm available for overnight house sitting and believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their own familiar environment. I'll follow your pet's routine closely, provide plenty of love and companionship, and keep you updated with messages and photos while you're away. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets. I'll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping it clean, secure, and leaving everything as I found it. Throughout your time away, I'll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I'll follow all of your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special care your pet requires. I know every animal is different, so I take the time to understand their personality and comfort level. I'll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping it clean, secure, and leaving everything as I found it. Throughout your time away, I'll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention.
About: I have dog sat off and on for the last year and a half! I have dog sat for big dogs, small dogs, cats, pets with medical problems, etc... I have taken dogs to vet appointments on multiple occasions, some scheduled and others due to medical emergencies while owners were gone. I go above and beyond for any pets I take care of and would love to take care of your babies in my free time! I am currently working part time and am enrolled in 3 college classes, one being online and the other two are three hours back to back in the afternoon MWF. I have a pretty flexible schedule with a lot of breaks in between my plans usually. I go above and beyond for the pets I take care of as I am a very empathetic person. I also love hanging out with pets and love to give them love and make sure they are cared for!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Valley City
Tori and Nicole went above and beyond caring for my senior dog, Izzy, when she got sick a few days into my 10-day vacation. They picked up medications and extra food for her and spent some sleepless nights taking her outside, cleaning up after her, and giving her lots of extra cuddles. Knowing she was so well cared for while I was away gave me such peace of mind. I’m incredibly grateful for them!
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.
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!!

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 $41.44 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,757 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Valley City. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
