About: I have a BS in Animal Science and have 5 years direct experience working with animals. I’ve also worked with a 2 month old puppy, volunteered at my local animal shelter, as well as received Volunteer of the Year award during that time. I've walked dogs, changed cats litter, fed rabbits, and made sure all animals in the shelter had fresh food and water, as well as clean spaces. I’ve always had a caring heart for animals, and am looking forward to taking care of you and your beloved pets! Tambien hablo español! My regular full time job is an accountant. M/F I am free in the mornings and evenings, and weekends I am available as well. Having a consistent work schedule for my regular job gives me more flexibility to do what I want in my free time. I adopted a bird a few years ago and have loved taking care of her. She is a cockatiel, and takes certain weekly/monthly maintenance requirements, which shows I'm careful in what I do. Myself being also a fit athletic person makes me a good fit for all size dogs and cats, which I have experience working with at my local animal shelter.
“I would recommend Karlee to anyone looking for a sitter. While she watched our Golden Retriever, she stayed in communication with us while we were away, sent photos with updates, took her on walks, left our space clean, and she took really good care of our girl. With our permission, she even took her over to her house during the day to play with her own dog. We had a great experience with Karlee and would book with her again!”
“The dogs, and cats, absolutely loved Cameron. Which is quite impressive for my babies! And he sent updates by photo and messages letting us know what fun activities they were doing. Will definitely book with Cameron next time we leave town!!”
“Madison was AMAZING! When our flight was delayed and we weren't going to be able to make it home, Madison stepped up and came back to watch our girl for an additional night which was a LIFESAVER. Couldn't recommend Madison more! Already booked her for our next trip.”
“Catrine “Cat” was everything I could have asked for. My regular sitter cancelled a month before my vacation and I found Cat on here. We did a meet and greet and my boys were comfortable with her, which isn’t always the case. They can be selective. Leading up to the booking Cat reached out to offer to come over the morning before I left to make sure she had all the information she needed, which I appreciated. While away she kept in daily contact with text and pictures assuring me the boys were safe, well taken care of and having a great time. She was concerned my one dog was looking a bit skinny because I had changed his food and asked if take could feed him more, for her to notice and ask was a great feeling knowing she was paying attention to them. My other boys takes medication and she had no problem giving him his “pill pocket” twice a day. My dogs have a walker and she texted me commenting on how happy the boys seemed to be with Cat. She was respectful of my home and it was neat and tidy and the bed sheets and towels were washed and folded, above and beyond. If you want to leave your animals in caring, loving hands then Cat is your person. She will definitely be my go to for future sitting during my vacations.”
About: Back home when I lived in Florida, I used to work at a veterinary practice that my dad owns (Sunset Point Animal Hospital). I spent lots of time working there through middle school and a lot of time in high school and my early years of college. The biggest thing that sets me apart is that if there’s ever an emergency, I know what to do. I currently travel for work all across the US, right now, my homebase is currently in Salt Lake City. I install for Vivint during the summer months and right now I am in the off-season and have a bunch of free time. Your pet will have my undivided attention and will be taken care of as best as possibly could. No matter what the task is I will be there to do it exceptionally.
About: I’ve taken care of doggies of all kinds (big to small, puppy to senior) for most of my life. When I was younger I was trusted by many in my neighborhood whether it was staying with their dogs, having them stay with me, or getting them out for walks! I have also cared for a family friend’s three dogs for two weeks at a time on multiple occasions, so I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets and keeping up with their routines. I have a pup back home named Scruffy, he just celebrated his sweet 16🐶. My schedule is very flexible right now, so I’m able to give your pets lots of attention throughout the day and keep them company. I am happy to care for them in my home or come to yours, whatever makes you and your pet most comfortable! Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. My home has a fenced-in yard, which gives dogs a secure space to get outside and play. I’m also happy to follow any specific feeding, walking, or care instructions to make sure each pet feels comfortable and right at home.
“Wow-I cannot say enough amazing things about Shana. She is attentive, loving, respectful, and one of the best dog watchers I have ever had. She was so good to my Winnie when I had aniexty about leaving her and she ALWAYS checked in. I’m so impressed with her and am planning on using her for the future!!”
“Mechelle is the best! She sent photos and updates everyday. She definitely spoiled our dog while we were away. Finally had a vacation where we didn’t stress about our dog!”
“Landon is a fantastic pet sitter. He came a day early for a meet and great and it was clear how seriously he takes the job. He asked a lot of important questions and listened very carefully to my instructions. He showed up right on time early in the morning, which I really appreciated. He will by my first choice for pet sitters going forward--definitely book him if he is free!”
“Daisy cares for my three dogs with so much love. I usually have anxiety being gone from my dogs when i travel but never when Daisy is watching them. They have specific needs and she always meets them.”
“Catherine was INCREDIBLE! She took care of our needy labradoodle and high maintenance cat so well while we were out of town. She sent us daily updates and made us feel so comfortable leaving our animals babies with her. It was easy to see she loved them like her own!”
“Ashley is absolutely wonderful! She has the sweetest, most caring demeanor, which is exactly why we felt so comfortable trusting her with our puppy. She would be amazing with any dog, but I was especially impressed with how confidently she handled our 8-month-old German Shepherd—she had no problem with her at all! I also really appreciated Ashley’s flexibility when our flight was delayed an entire day and we had to return the following day. She was so accommodating, confirmed everything quickly, and we were able to rebook her within minutes. That kind of flexibility meant so much to us! What I loved most was the communication. Ashley sent us photos and updates every single day so we knew exactly how our girl was doing. As a dog mom with anxiety, leaving my fur baby behind can be really nerve-wracking, but Ashley made it so much easier because I knew she was in good hands. ❤️ We would absolutely trust Ashley with our puppy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, reliable, flexible, and truly wonderful with dogs! 🐾💕”
“Our dog loved Devin immediately during the meet & greet, which made us feel super comfortable with him taking care of our boy! Devin’s communication was excellent and we appreciated all of the updates and pics during his stay. We will definitely be requesting Devin’s services again!”
“Wendy was amazing! She gave great daily updates with photos. Our sweet maple really enjoyed herself. She had daily walks and outdoor time, and received lots of love. We would definitely recommend Wendy for a happy pup.”

Pavel is out go-to anytime we go out of town! We have him stay out our house and it eliminates any anxiety that we would ever have about our home and our pets. He always does an great job and that gives us peace of mind when we need to be away. We would highly recommend!
Caroline was fantastic with our Golden Retriever and Border Collie this weekend! She clearly has a great way with dogs both of ours came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. She kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us total peace of mind. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dog loving sitter!”
Nichole is a top notch dog sitter. She stayed with our older greyhound in our home for five nights. She provided updates and was excellent at communicating. Our dog was happy and well taken care of while we were away. We will definitely have Nichole stay with him again!
Alex did a wonderful job watching our two babies on a last minute request. He was clean and tidy, even went to the extent of removing his bed sheets (which was very thoughtful) and making sure the trash was taken out when he was finished with his stay. He made sure our pup got all of his medications and was a great house guest.
Tiffany was the best kitty babysitter! She sent us so many photos and videos of our babies while we were gone. One of my cats got scared of the fireworks and Tiffany sat in our unfinished basement with her to help her feel safe. She kept our home clean and did exactly as we asked. The cats were happy when we arrived back home. We will definitely work with Tiffany again in the future!

Thankful for the availability, communication and response time in finding a sitter for the dogs. The meet and greet was nice with Trista beforehand and for her to feel comfortable with the dogs/home. It looks like food got mixed up during the weekend and I also had to deep clean upon return home for some pet messes. I'd consider Trista for when we are in a pinch but with better written instructions.

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 Woods Cross 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 Woods Cross 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Woods Cross 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
