Alecia was very responsive and gave us peace of mind while caring for our puppy, who needed extra supervision and attention at his age. We appreciated the photos and updates!

About: I SERVE PARK CITY & SLC: I work a hybrid schedule but am able to come home during lunch on the days I work in-office. I have family that lives in Park City so I spend a lot of time out there and am available for drop-in visits as well as house sitting. I also have an apartment of my own in Sugar House and can accommodate boarding requests and daycare if that is preferred. _________________ ABOUT ME: I have over 15+ years of experience caring for pets of all sizes and feel like they are all members of the family — and I will treat your furry friend just like I would treat my own. I lost my own pup Kenda last year so do not have any other pets in my apartment at the time, but am able to provide a loving, enriching and safe place for your pet while you’re away. I can accommodate any kind of care schedule if your pet has a special routine and I can provide potty breaks and play time often. Crates are welcome if you decide to bring your own; please let me know if you feel safer with me crating your pet at night or if I leave to run a quick errand.

About: Hi, I’m Dylan! I grew up in a multi-dog household, so managing feeding, walking, and bathroom schedules has been a natural part of my life. Today, I love bringing that same dedicated, attentive care to adult dogs and cats who thrive in a peaceful, quiet routine.   Standard Care vs. Constant Care:   To maintain a calm, structured environment, I specialize exclusively in adult and senior pets (ages 1 and up). I offer two tiers of house sitting:   Standard Care (Base Rate): Ideal for independent adult pets. I am with your pet for all meals, walks, and overnights, but may leave for up to 4 hours during the day for errands or local walks.   Constant Care (Premium Upgrade): Ideal for senior pets, medical-needs animals, or adult rescues with severe separation anxiety. I manage my day entirely from your home, ensuring your pet is never left unattended for more than 1–2 hours. (Please message me for custom Constant Care rates).    Travel & Service Logistics: My standard rates cover homes within a 15-mile radius of Sandy (84092). For locations requiring extended transit across the valley, I apply the following nightly adjustments directly to your booking:   Lehi Area: +$15/night travel adjustment Park City / Mountain Commutes: +$25/night premium (covers canyon transit and fuel)   I look forward to connecting and scheduling a Meet & Greet to ensure we are a seamless match for your home and your furry family members! I currently work full-time as an adult and senior pet care provider which gives me ultimate flexibility to watch after your pets and make sure their needs are met. I provide comprehensive care for your pet such as keeping it company, making sure there’s enough bathroom breaks, and adequately feeding at specific times throughout the day.

Puppies are truly a man's best friend and I love watching after them, I really hope to hear from you. I typically work Monday through Friday for about 7 to 8 hours a day. Shoot me a message, I hope I can help! 😊 Thank you. I live in an apartment complex that has a small fenced area for dogs. There is also a dog park not too far from me.

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for my own pets as well as providing pet sitting and home sitting for multiple families. I have cared for multiple types of animals, including dogs, cats, bunnies and birds. I grew up around animals and learned from a young age how to understand them and meet their needs. I work from my computer, which allows me to stay at the homes of the pets I care for and look after them as if they were my own, spending a lot of time providing companionship, attention, care, cuddles and love! I’ve always loved animals of all kinds and truly enjoy getting to know their unique personalities. I rescued my dog Polo, a sweet mixed-breed pup, and he taught me so much about love, patience, and trust. I’m very good at connecting with animals and earning their trust quickly. My schedule is very flexible because I work from my computer, which allows me to spend a lot of time with the pets I care for and look after them as if they were my own. I love animals, so I'm always happy to adapt my day to their routines, making sure they receive the attention, care, love, playtime, and cuddles they need. I choose to house sit and pet sit because animals bring me joy, balance, and inspiration. As someone who works remotely, this lifestyle allows me to stay with pets most of the time, keep their routines consistent, and give them companionship throughout the day. I’m very responsible and caring, and I always make sure each home and each pet is treated with respect, safety, and love.

About: I grew up with dogs and love them dearly! I have been dog sitting for the past many years for friends and family. I have experience with both long (6 months) and short term pet sitting. I work full time as a ski patroller and EMT. I love to trail run, hike and knit. My experience as a ski patroller comes with caring for, skiing with and helping to train avalanche dogs. I’d love to take your dog for anything from a neighborhood stroll to a mountain adventure. I have recently become a huge cat lover. I live with a cat whom I love so much and care for often. I’d love to do anything you need for your kitty friend! Extras- I do have limited experience watching and caring for horses and other animals. I love all animals! I make my own schedule at my job as an EMT, so am typically free Friday Saturday and Sunday! But am very flexible and open to most things! I love to go on walks in parks and on trails! I am open to taking your pet where ever is best for them to be. Happy to keep it close to home or drive us to an adventure!

About: I have three dogs of my own, two Aussie mixes and one Yorkie mix, so I’m very used to lots of energy and personality. I used to train my oldest dog in agility and loved it, and I’ve been the go‑to dog sitter for my aunt’s friends, family and neighbors. I also worked at a doggy daycare and absolutely adored all the pups there. Dogs are honestly my safe place; I feel happiest and most myself when I’m around them. I love taking them on hikes, neighborhood walks, lake days, and playing fetch, and I always make sure they get plenty of outside time and attention. I treat every dog like my own and want you to feel totally comfortable trusting me with your best friend. I’ve taken care of all kinds of pups, from tiny puppies and seniors to a sweet three‑legged dog, so I’m used to different needs and energy levels. I’m working Monday–Friday, 8–3, from May 5th to June 25th, and then I’m free any time during the week. I can do walks, drop-ins, and house sitting around my work schedule now, and I’m wide open all day on Saturdays and Sundays. We always go to a park or around the neighborhood for walks and playtime. I care for pets in my clients’ homes by sticking to their normal routine and following all instructions for walks, feeding, and meds. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean area, lots of attention, and I send updates and photos. I also treat my clients’ homes with respect and always lock up and tidy before I leave.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, when I started my own neighborhood dog-walking business. Since then, friends, family, neighbors, and referrals have trusted me with their pets, and spending time with animals continues to be one of my greatest joys. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s helping a puppy stay on track with crate training and routines, keeping an energetic dog active and engaged, or providing gentle, patient care for a senior dog, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy getting to know every dog as an individual. I understand that some dogs want long walks and adventures, while others are happiest relaxing at home with plenty of affection and companionship. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. You can trust that your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and personalized care throughout their stay. I’m currently working remotely Monday through Friday with a flexible schedule and will have plenty of time to prioritize walks and playtime depending on your dogs needs! Because I primarily offer house sitting and drop-in visits, my goal is to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine in the environment they know best. I take time to learn each pet’s schedule, preferences, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions before care begins. During house sits and drop-ins, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, enrichment, and companionship while ensuring pets feel safe and secure. I keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so they can enjoy peace of mind while they’re away. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own and prioritize safety at all times, including secure leashing, monitoring pets outdoors, following household rules, and keeping a close eye on any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by providing reliable, loving, and attentive care.

About: Hi, I’m Emily! I’ve spent the last 14 years caring and owning animals. From dogs and cats to small pets, I’ve looked after all kinds of animals for friends and family—and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I work from home and live a super active lifestyle, which means I’m able to give your pet lots of attention and care throughout the day. Whether it’s hanging out at home, going on long walks, hitting the park, or even going on a little hike—I’m all about making sure your pet stays happy, stimulated, and well-loved. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and completely cared for while you’re away. I treat every animal like they’re part of the family—because they are! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to ensure your pet gets all the attention they need. I have plenty of time to take breaks for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love! On weekends, I love spending time outdoors, so I’m happy to take your dog on even more exciting adventures. I provide close supervision of pets and always make sure they are comfortable and safe. This includes having a plan in place for emergencies, knowing where the nearest vet is, and having access to any medical information. I’ll maintain your pet’s regular routine as much as possible—whether it's feeding, walks, or playtime—so they feel stable and reduce any anxiety while you're away. I also keep an open line of communication, offering pictures, videos, and updates so you can always check in on how your pet is doing.

About: I love animals. I have been caring for them for years and find joy in making sure they are happy. It is my first priority to care for your pet in the way you prefer. I am punctual and excited to meet new pets that I can care for. I’m an independent contractor which means I get to create my schedule. Luckily for me, this means I can pick up different side hustles at whatever times I want. I already do cardio everyday by walking so this would fit perfectly into my routine. Whatever rules or expectations the owner wants, I will take with great care, caution, and intention. The safety of your pet and the respect of your home is of utmost importance to me.

Meisha has watched Zion (black lab) and Moose (cat) a number of times and has been incredible each and every time! She sends lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciate as someone who has trouble leaving my fur babies behind for a trip. This most recent visit, I reached out last minute because my pup had been stung by a bee and I had to go into work that night. I wasn’t comfortable leaving her alone for my entire shift and all of my friends were out of town for the holiday weekend and unavailable. Meisha was so kind and came by a few times throughout the night to hang out with Zion and Moose. The absolute kindest and best sitter to work with! Really couldn’t recommend her enough.

I have a car and am comfortable staying at your houses with them, especially if I am allowed to bring a friend to feel more safe. I am only offering care in your home or walks. I will work on my computer there and check on the dog as often as needed while I do so. Or I will work at my home or a library near you and stop in for walks and feedings.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s turned that passion into a full-time commitment to caring for pets like they’re my own. Growing up in Utah, I was always surrounded by animals—dogs, cats, horses—you name it. I’ve had several pets throughout my life and even volunteered at the Humane Society, where I gained valuable experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I also worked at a professional dog boarding facility, so I understand how important routine, playtime, and personalized attention are for your pup’s happiness and well-being. When I’m not caring for animals, you’ll find me outdoors—skiing, hiking, or exploring the trails. I bring that same active, attentive energy to every pet I care for. I’m known for being extremely punctual, responsible, and communicative, so you can always count on me to show up on time and keep you updated. Whether your dog needs a hiking buddy, a cuddle companion, or just a reliable sitter while you’re away, I’m here to help with a heart full of love and years of hands-on experience. Let’s make your pet feel right at home! What sets me apart from other sitters? Ive watches numerous pets for neighbors, family members, and friends who have repeatedly used me for overnight care or even just a check in. I’ve gained skills in both puppy care and senior dog support. I’ve cared for energetic pups learning the ropes and sweet seniors 14+ who need a little extra patience and love. I’m punctual, trustworthy, and treat every dog like they’re part of my family. Whether your pup needs playtime, meds, a slow walk, or just lots of snuggles, I’ve got it covered—with care, experience, and a genuine love for animals since before I could remember! I currently am focusing on pet sitting now and through the summer, so I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule! Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine, and I take great pride in being consistently available and fully committed to every animal I look after. I prioritize pet sitting by organizing my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care—whether it’s daily walks, feeding times, play sessions, or medication administration. I understand that pets thrive on routine and reliability, so I make it a point to be present and attentive at all times. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate last-minute bookings, early mornings, evenings, and weekends, ensuring that your pet always receives the love, care, and attention they deserve. Being a dependable, compassionate sitter isn’t just a job for me—it’s a priority I take seriously every day. When caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home, I always strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room for play and relaxation. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and bedtime habits. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all provided instructions carefully—from diet and exercise to any specific behavioral or medical needs. I ensure the pet feels secure and cared for by offering consistent attention, affection, and routine, while also sending regular updates and photos to the owner for peace of mind. Whether in my home or theirs, pets are treated like family.

I have a fully fenced small yard and also a 1 acre pasture that is also fenced. Since I’m home all day they can go out as often as they need. They also will get a daily walk or hike in unless they are to tired or grouchy on our 1 acre property and if they are good off leash or e-collar trained then we can take field trips. They can also enjoy a massage if they are older, recovering from an injury or surgery or if you’d like this extra service. We have a lot of hard toys to chew and they can also have a lunch cookie and or a peanut butter or yogurt kong. They are fed by themselves or with any dog from their household unless they resource guard or are food aggressive. They will be around kids, horses and cats so they get alot of experiences. I can do some training while they stay also. They can sleep where ever they like.. dog beds or in a kennel with a dog bed. They’ll be in my personal home and I only take a few dogs at a time. You’ll get updates at least every other day. Full details on how they are doing. Someone is home almost all Day with them or they join me at work hiking other pups. A lot of outside time and treats and love. They are part of our pack or member of our family. They can sleep where they want and get alot of exercise love and attention.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Alta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,967 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Alta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alta. On Rover:

  • 92% 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.

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.
