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.
“Evette accepted my last minute reservation and a quickly-arranged Meet & Greet very graciously. Even though her location is out of my way, our first daycare booking was proof positive to me that the extra travel is worth having Evette care for my fur pup. Instructions were followed closely and she kept in touch with updates and a cute photo. I'm glad I didn't pass up the opportunity to go out of my way for such good caregiving.”
“Jodi was great to take my dog last minute and sent me pictures during the day. I felt really good about taking my dog there for daycare, because the second day he got excited when we pulled up to the house - that says it all! She even kept my dog for a longer than average daycare stay because I have to drop him off early and pick him up late due to my commute. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Curtis and Jennifer are wonderful! They took care of our dog 2 years ago when we went skiing in the canyons. And now again! Lovely to work with. Easy communication. Super flexible and kind. Our dog came back happy and tired! He had a lot of fun!”
“Vanessa was very good at communicating quickly and she shared several pictures during my puppy’s stay. When I picked him up, he was happy and well rested! I look forward to more care with Vanessa.”
About: I have grown up with big and small dogs and have always loved them. I make sure to be very attentive to any dog I am with, bringing them on lots of walks, and hanging with them. I am an online student with a flexible schedule. This allows me to be very attentive to your dog, lots of walks, lots of hanging nearby. I take great care of pets. I make sure they get the exercise they need, and the time spent just hanging out close by. I think most dogs love to be around people as much as they can, and I make that happen!
“We were so happy we found Kristen! She was so helpful with all of our last minute changes to our plan and Honey had such a good time with Kristen and her family! We got lots of updates and pictures throughout the day and would absolutely have Kristen watch Honey again!”
“Maui had such a great time at Jenn’s house! She got along really well with Jenn’s dog, Loki, and they spent lots of time playing in the yard and even went on a hike together. When the afternoon heat picked up, Jenn made sure Maui stayed mentally stimulated with brain games and a snuffle mat, which I really appreciated. It’s clear Jenn genuinely cares about the dogs she watches and puts thought into their care and enrichment. 10/10 — I would absolutely recommend her, and Maui will definitely be back!”
About: Truly a dog and pet lover, I lost my dog a year ago, and he was with me 24-7. I'm experienced with pets that are older or have an illness. I can hike with your dog or take him/her on long walks. Totally reliable :) I work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule and time to care for pets. I am always available and happy to send photos of your pet :) The pet's safety and happiness are of utmost importance! I'm truly doing this because I love dogs and cats. My last dog Helios had epilepsy, he stayed with me 24/7. Helios was able to alert me when he was about to have a seizure so I could medicate him. I have extensive experience with both dogs and cats (and I've rescued animals).
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Valerie and her care! Killian and Venus spent the day at her house, and it was clear from the moment we dropped them off that they were in the best hands. Not only is Valerie incredibly caring and attentive, but she also went above and beyond by accommodating last-minute care for them, which was such a lifesaver! Valerie and her partner are such genuine people who truly love pups! I absolutely loved the picture updates of their day—it was so heartwarming to see our fur babies having a blast and being so well cared for. When they got home, they were completely tuckered out, which tells me they played a lot and had tons of fun! I’m so grateful for the amazing care Valerie provided, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, loving place for their pups!”
“Indy loves spending time with Patrick and his dog Jake! Patrick put up a doggie pool and sent pictures showing how much fun the dogs were having! It makes Indy so happy to have a sitter that cares about him.”
“I have never used a doggy day care service and Josh put my mind at ease immediately. His exceptional communication and punctuality made it easy to plan and enjoy our time in Park City. He picked up and dropped off my Westie, Minnie, at the hotel every morning, and let me know when he was leaving his home and when he would arrive so every handoff was seamless and stress free. While Minnie is very social and greets nearly everyone wherever she goes, there's a special greeting she reserves for the humans she "adopts" as her people. The second morning when Josh picked up Minnie, it was clear he had been adopted by Minnie. The peace of mind knowing she was thoroughly enjoying herself and she was well cared for was priceless. Thank you Josh and see you next year!”
About: I have been with various rescue organizations for over 30 years. I have helped with adoptions, medical visits, home visits, shelter assessments, and events. I have rescued many animals with health issues and have extensive experience caring for more challenging animals. I am very active and love having dogs joining the fun. I currently have two senior dogs with reduced activity levels. I hike, bike, ski, SUP, and your furry friend can come along for these activities or chill on the couch with extra snuggles. I have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to accommodate your pet's needs. I like to adhere to a schedule your pet is accustomed to. My pets are all indoor dogs, well taken care of, and slightly spoiled. They have regular feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. I will adhere to your pet's regular schedule as much as possible.
“Chayse was so great with our pup. The yard is clean and large and such a great place for him to run around and play. He came home super happy and we would happily have Chayse watch our boy again!”
“Jean was so kind to let us book a last-minute daycare appointment, which we greatly appreciated. She took great care of our Jojo-doggy. She has a great setup for taking care of fur babies, which she seems to enjoy doing. We highly recommend her!”
“Birdie had a blast on her first daycare stay with Christen and her pups. Christen was very communicative as always and super thankful for the pickup-drop off option!”
“Jennifer took amazing care of Lavender and provided such cute pictures, videos and updates throughout the day! It's apparent she is such a thoughtful dog lover, and it was such a relief to know Lavender is in such loving care while I am working. Lavender made herself right at home and we've already booked more play time at Jennifer's house!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,540 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Alta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Alta commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in UT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog, 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, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,540 sitters in Alta, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
