“Rachel is so so sweet! My cats took to her immediately—like literally the moment she walked in the door. She sent lots of pictures, including claws-out, chasing after toys pictures so I know they genuinely got some love & play while we were gone!! Cats were super happy when we got back :)”
“Amy was super fast in replying and so accommodating with my very short notice. She was so kind and I could tell my babies were well loved and taken care of. Would love to have her care for my pups again!!”
“Wonderful caring visits for our Scout. We missed him but the pictures and her great descriptions made us feel better. Highly reliable and left everything clean. We so appreciated everything. Thank you 🙏😻❤️”
About: Although I don't currently have any pets of my own, I am very much an animal person and would love to watch your pets! I grew up with 3 dogs (a Golden Retriever when I was younger and two mutts when I was in high school) and 2 cats. I've also pet-sat for friends, family, and neighbors since I was a kid-- watching puppies, big dogs, small dogs, and cats. I've also attended a few dog training and behavior courses. I've attended various dog training and behavior courses I work from home (7 AM to 3 PM) Monday to Friday so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to pet-sitting! If overnight sitting for you, I can let your dogs out multiple times a day (and hang out with your dogs/cats) and can be more hands-on (walks/play time) after 3 PM! I am also in SLC most weekends! I love exercise and am happy to offer slow-paced or fast-paced walks with your dog(s). I would frequently dog-walk between classes in college and loved the experience! During home visits, I'm happy to work from your home and chill with your dogs/cats, let your dog out throughout the workday, walk/play with them in the afternoons, and water your plants, etc.!
“Haley was very friendly, and kept us well updated each day on how out cat was doing. Gus warmed up to her instantly. We would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter, and look forward to using her again in the future.”
“Rachael was awesome with my two cats! I could tell they were comfortable with her. Bennie loves to play and got a lot of playtime with Rachael. Peaches got lots of love. I really appreciated the pictures and videos of my kitties while I was away. Rachael did great with troubleshooting my feeder when my big kitty Peaches tried to steal Bennie’s food lol. I definitely recommend Rachael for watching your pets :)”
About: I am a stay at home husband with a lifelong passion and love for all animals. I have been caring for animals since I was young, and have experience with all variety of cats and dogs. I've handled everything from basic routine walking and feeding, to post-surgery care and diaper changes, from baby to senior. Rest assured, I will treat your pets with the utmost respect and care, because they deserve nothing less. I’m very excited to be a part of the Rover family and look forward to caring for your pets. Hope to hear from you soon! I have a fairly open schedule, and will never rush with your pets! I'm more than happy to dedicate as long as your pet needs to receive the care it deserves! I keep a routine schedule with my dog Zuko, including feeding, walking, exercise, and medications. I also regularly watch my neighbor's pets, performing tasks such as playing, picking up, maintaining litter boxes, feeding, and walking.
About: Pet sitting has been a passion of mine since middle school. 🐶I started helping friends and family care for their pets when I was 14, and over the years I’ve developed a special love for looking after senior pets. I understand that many animals have unique personalities, routines, or special needs that require extra patience and attention, and I’m always happy to accommodate those. 💖 My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet with the same respect, kindness, and love that I would want for my own. At the moment, I’m available for pet sitting on weekends only. 🐾 The pets that stay on Saturdays get to go for a hike with me 😎 I am currently available during the weekends. Feel free to check if we can work something out on the weekdays though, sometimes my partner is willing to help while I'm at work! :) I currently live in a town home with a fenced yard. I have a small dog to keep your pets company and play with. I will make sure to follow your instructions on how to care for them and make sure they have lots of love and comfort and playtime. :)
“Emily was absolutely amazing with my Vivi (self proclaimed ‘shy’ cat) and managed to get her out and about with some love and attention! I loved all the photos I got and the consistent communication from Emily. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
About: Previous experience with dogs and cats at local shelters as well as Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Knowledgd in providing care for all types of different animals. Outside of roller derby training with the local league and volunteering with the food bank, my schedule is open and available to help with your pet care needs. I have previous experience with senior pets, special needs pets, and animals with low socializing issues; however, I am not a trained nor certified trainer.
About: I have 4 years experience working with animals! I’ve worked at doggie daycare and done private sitting as well. If you are looking for someone responsible and caring to watch over your house or pet you’ve come to the right place! I’m a part time barista and part time doggie daycare worker. I’m looking to change over to rover instead of my doggie daycare job. I’m available weekend afternoons and over nights! I watch over pets with genuine affection and care. I am detail oriented and good at following schedules. I love to hangout with the dogs in my free time and will make sure they get the best treatment possible 🐾🐾
“Jenna was great and stopped by our house today while I had to work long hours and the wife was on a trip. She came and let him out, played with him, and sent us pictures. We highly recommend Jenna if you ever need someone to swing by midday to give your puppy a potty break and some love.”
About: I have done a few long-term dog-sitting assignments, the shortest being 2 weeks, and the longest being 30 days (different owners), with dogs being cared for ranging from 1 (white lab) to 5 dogs (white Goldens) including seniors, dogs with medication needs, and puppies. I am currently a student who is working part time, primarily during the afternoon. My intention for using Rover is to supplement my income while I finish my degree. I am loving with pets once trust is built, but I don't force it. I let the animals get used to me and usually just try to mimic or emulate their owners based on what their owners have described their pet's behavior is.
About: I love dogs but I don’t have the flexibility to have one of my own right now. That is why I love spending time caring for others’ pets. I’ve grown up around dogs and I understand how important daily movement and play can be. I am attentive and will ensure your dog feels safe and well cared for. I am working part time while applying to grad schools which leaves generous availability throughout the week. I love spending time outside so I will always prioritize daily walks for the pups. I will strive to continue the routines that are set in place. I want to ensure peace and safety throughout my stay. This looks like consistent feeding times, daily walks, and nighttime routines.
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life! I grew up with dogs and I have a cat. I love being active and I would love to walk your dog! I work 9am to 5pm five days a week. I am very active and enjoy long walks. I live in a house with a large yard and multiple parks near by. I have a very friendly cat, he does really well with other animals and has play dates with cats and dogs regularly. I have a large fenced in yard!

Rachel is so so sweet! My cats took to her immediately—like literally the moment she walked in the door. She sent lots of pictures, including claws-out, chasing after toys pictures so I know they genuinely got some love & play while we were gone!! Cats were super happy when we got back :)
Alexis went above & beyond my expectations of a dog sitter! We had her stop in throughout the day to help with our French Bulldog (who is a little high maintenance). And Alexis did a wonderful job taking care of her. My pup gets anxious when I leave and I could tell that she felt completely comfortable and happy with Alexis. She followed instructions perfectly and was accommodating with any extra things I asked. Would absolutely book with her again & will recommend her to anyone that asks. Thank you Alexis!
We recently moved and had to find a new drop in sitter for our cat, and Annie was great! She sent lots of pictures, communicated well, and most of important took great care of our cat while we were away for a long weekend! We will definitely look to rebook Annie for future trips!
Rachael was wonderful—this was our first time using her, and she exceeded expectations. We have two dogs and four senior cats with complex care needs, including medications, and she handled everything confidently and correctly. We left detailed instructions, and she followed them closely and kept us updated throughout the stay. It’s not easy to step into a multi-pet household with more involved care, especially on a first visit, but Rachael made it feel seamless. We felt comfortable and confident that our pets were in good hands. We would absolutely book with her again.
Jaden stopped by twice a day to take care of my old grumpy cat and did an excellent job while I was away. Everything was clean and tidy when I got back, and my cat seemed happy and the space well cared for. He even watered my houseplants, which I really appreciated!
vanessa was awesome! she was quick to reply when we needed a last minute sitter and was a great communicator throughout the whole experience. she immediately befriended my very shy kitty, was thorough collecting all the info she needed to take care of him and was kind enough to even offer to bring over some toys! will definitely be rebooking
We booked Marcia to cat sit while we were gone for a long trip. We expected some effort but Marcia went above and beyond our expectations! She communicates clearly and followed our instructions for taking care of our cat. To be honest, we even felt that she takes care of Dusty even better than we do 🥹. Highly recommend her to anyone who needs a cat sitter!
