Emily made me feel better about leaving my critters for a few days. My skittish dog loves her. Emily maintained contact with me and sent Pictures and videos. I appreciate all she did and will definitely be using her services again in the future!

We feel so fortunate to have found Susan. She cared for our two boys as if they were her own and they took to Susan as if they’d been around her their entire life. We couldn’t have had a better experience. We definitely will be using Susan whenever we go away.

Since I have six dogs and two cats, I really did not think that I was going to be able to find another sitter to add to my work travel rotation (I’ve had good luck with two in the past but schedules were tough) that was going to be able to meet the needs of a sassy dog, a deaf dog, a grumpy dog, an old dog, a nervous dog, and a reserved dog. But Kerrie and her considerate nature and expertise made me and my whole cast of characters feel at ease. Such a wonderful house guest and I came home to a happy, healthy, relaxed bunch. Highly recommend!

Susanna watched our 3 dogs for 4 hrs. She and her husband came over for a meet and greet. After meeting them I had a good feeling that she could be trusted and would take good care of our 4 legged babies! She sent 2 sets of pictures of the kids which always makes me feel better leaving our dogs with a stranger. She and her husband are kind and decent people. I will use Susanna again when need be♥️

I cannot say enough how happy I was with Blakey! It was our first time leaving them with someone in our home and my 2 dogs didn’t even act like I had been gone when I came back! I’m pretty sure they were happy being spoiled by Blakey! Will definitely book her in the future!

About: Hi! My names hannah! I’ve been taking care of animals for a little over 5 years, including grooming, pet sitting, overnight stays etc. i have experience in pet restraint, basic training, anything you can think of ive most likely done it! I’m currently working part time at a grooming salon, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! My schedule is pretty flexible & I always figure out how to make things work! I always pet sit at the clients home, to make pets feel more comfortable! I always make sure they feel comfortable & cared for when I’m there, if I ever feel there’s a time they are not comfortable or scared I will call the owner & ask if there’s anything I can do! Safety & being comfortable is a big thing for me, I do require a shot record & up to date rabies vaccine for me & the pets safety!

Keely was the first dog and house sitter we've ever had and we couldn't have asked for a better person or experience! She took care of both my large dogs with absolutely no problems, she provided updates on her own and when we inquired. The girls loved that she played with them both outside and inside. I know we will be using her again!

About: Hi my name is Jasmine. My experience with animals is personal and professional. I have helped pet sitting and walking dogs for over 5 year of experience now. I have 2 dogs of my own who go with me wherever I go except when working lol. I've been having dogs and cats my entire life & I have much experience ranging from puppy - senior needs. Love making new pet buddies, and want to ensure they are as happy as can be. Pets are great companions and I look forward to meeting many new buddies! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 12pm I have a fenced back yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I always make sure we go on walks, clean up after them, play with them. I always make sure they are fed when they are suppose to and have water.

About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life and have always had a dog. I truly love caring for animals and would be happy to help take care of yours with the same attention and care I give my own. and full availability over the summer. While I do have a part-time job, pet care is a top priority for me, and I’m committed to being reliable, responsive, and fully present when caring for your pet. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal schedule, feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, so pets feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving space with plenty of attention, supervision, and time for exercise and affection. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for.

FAQs for House Sitting - Zion

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 522 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Zion. 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 Zion 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 Zion 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 Zion 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 Zion. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
