About: I've been caring for dogs for the past 7 years, beginning when my former boss asked me to care for his dogs while he and his family were away on vacation. Since then, my experience has grown through caring for dogs from more than 25 families. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ranging from 10 pounds to over 100 pounds, as well as dogs who require medications or have special needs. I'm comfortable adapting to each dog's individual routine, personality, and care requirements. I take pride in providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care. I work Monday through Friday from 7:00AM to 3:30PM at the local state prison. Outside of my regular work hours, I am able to provide dedicated care for your dogs. When dog sitting, I stay at the client's home, allowing me to provide companionship and supervision throughout the evening and overnight. Depending on the location of the home, I may also be able to stop in during my lunch break to let the dogs outside and check on them. After work, I return to the client's home and spend the remainder of the evening there, providing plenty of attentions, playtime, and care. I'm a huge dog lover, and I've always enjoyed spending time with them. I've very attentive and enjoy playing with dogs, giving them plenty of affection, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. When the weather is nice, I'm happy to take them outside for walks or playtime. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while they're in my care.
“Went above and beyond met my expectations of watching my dog during an event we were having. Absolutely would recommend to anyone. She booked in short notice for me and came in super clutch and followed all directions impeccably!”
“Tricia was the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She sent us many pictures and updates which we appreciated but most of all the dogs looked happy and relaxed. She also made homemade dog treats, which are still in the fridge. We can’t say enough, good things about her and look forward to having her in the future.”
“Adriana was awesome with Kodi . She sent me lots of photos and made me feel really comfortable about leaving my fur baby. I would highly recommend her as well as plan to hire her in the future.”
“Leslie did such a wonderful job of taking care of our pets, she went above and beyond, taking them for short walks in the snow and bitter cold! She kept us updated through her stay. Will not hesitate to use her again.”
About: I have previous experience with pets and have trained and worked with many animals in the past and love to help out with them when I can. I am available during the day when not at school and am available all day during the weekends as I am not working on those days. I have a fenced in yard and have pet-sat many times in my own home and own a dog of my own but have had many and trained many in the past, so I have experience.
About: I have owned both cats and dogs my entire life and have experience caring for cats, dogs, and even horses. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages and personalities and take pride in making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and feel confident providing them with the attention and care they need. I am currently a student, but I have a flexible schedule and am available most mornings, mid-days, and evenings. I enjoy spending my free time caring for animals and can work pet care into my daily routine while making sure each pet gets the attention, care, and companionship they need. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine and follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. I’m comfortable staying in your home with your pets or providing drop-in visits throughout the day. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, while also respecting your home and your instructions.
“Sarah was wonderful with our Groot. She did everything we asked and was fantastic in sending us updates and photos. She was excellent at communicating throughout the process. Upon meeting her, she displayed a demeanor that gave us great comfort that our girl would be well cared for. We highly recommend Sarah and look forward to her spending more time with our pup in the future.”

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 , 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.
