“Meisha did an amazing job caring for our cat Baxter. She is a reliable, communicative sitter. Meisha sent photos and updates at every drop-in and was easy to get a hold of if we had a question. We definitely plan to hire Meisha when we travel again in the future.”
“Alayna is consistent, prompt, a great communicator, and cares well for our sweet girl. Rose is a big dog with some mild mobility issues and Alayna makes sure she is well taken care of. We would recommend Alayna to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter!”
“Zanubia was super communicative and took good care of our 3 cats. She kept us up to date on which ones she saw (we have 2 that regularly hide with new people) and took cute photos of the ones she saw. Would use again and would recommend!”
“Diane was so sweet taking care of our super shy cats. She kept their food and water fresh daily and left out lots of treats for them to let them know they were being cared for while we were away ❤️”
“Heaven did two drop in visits for me and sent amazing updates! She is very friendly with a calming presence. She was able to come at odd hours which is so appreciated! She sent photos where I could tell the dogs were both very calm and happy. If I ever need her help again I won’t hesitate to reach out!”
“Chris took care of my bunny on short notice, which I really appreciate! He was able to come over same day to grab a key/go over Bij’s routine. He was very communicative and left me detailed messages after his visits, I would ask him to watch my pet again!”
About: I've spent some time working in grooming, working with trainers, and have spent many years house sitting and pet sitting. I have experience with young, energetic pets as well as old, ill pets and everything in between. I'm comfortable meeting any needs that your pets have and will treat them as though they are my own. I work remote so I am able to be at home with your pets the majority of our time together. I have a very flexible job so I'm able to let them out and give them loves as often as they want. The only thing I need is a place to set up my laptop and phone. I will love your dogs like I do my own and will take great care of them. I am experienced with taking care of sick animals, so if you have any concerns about their health, know they are in good hands!
“Kristi was a great sitter for my cat, who is usually pretty shy around strangers. I loved the pictures on the Rover card and was happy Kristi fed her, gave her treats, and played with her. This was my first trip away since I adopted her and I felt very comfortable with the care she was getting. Will definitely keep Kristi in mind for the future!”
About: Cats and dogs love me and I love them! On top of that, I've taken care of a number of family friends' pets (dogs and cats mostly) while they were away for various lengths of time from days to weeks. That care included feeding, walking, bedding down for the night, housesitting, cleaning litter boxes, and so on. I'm working on becoming a published author and I can write anywhere. That gives me a lot of flexibility. Have laptop, will travel. What more can I say? I usually prefer to stay at the client's home so that I can be right there to care for their pets to the best of my ability.
“Afia stepped in when our first sitter went MIA after we had already left for our trip and we were so grateful!! Our pup loved her, she was incredibly communicative, and I had no worries at all. Would definitely book again.”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was born. My mom was a dog breeder so I would help her with the puppies and I just love working with animals they have such sweet kindred spirits. I have currently moved back home to finish school but need a job part time or full time because I do school online. And I can work nights or early mornings I’m my home our pets have been trained to ask to go outside. I would prefer to work at someone’s home just because our house is new and still is missing some fencing
About: I’ve cared for neighbor dogs for 3 years, both young and old. I’ve handled normal daily tasks, cleaning, bathing and medication administration. Lots of long walks! I work 3-4 days a week (full-time) at my current job as a physician assistant, so I have 2-3 days off a week to help with fur babies! I’m on an as-needed basis. My job is at a local urgent care in Sandy. We have various locations, but I generally work at the Sandy location. I have a car to drive anywhere to visits pets, ideally within 15 miles of cottonwood heights! I normally cater care as per parent request. Whatever they would like me to do, I do! Walk, bath, clean, brush, play, feed, medications, throw ball, take to park, etc.! With approval, I’ve taken pets to local parks, national parks, walk about 2-3 miles with them and bath them if needed. I generally avoid dog parks unless the parent approves or likes a certain one for their pet!
About: I helped work at a farm with my family ever since I can remember, allowing me to take time to undersand animals and enjoy their company. I am currently in high school and dont get out until 315. I get home around 4 but available pretty much any time on weekends. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I provide gentle but exciting play to let your furry friend let out their wiggles very well.
“Hayley watched our 18+ year old kitty while we were on vacation. Gave him his meds twice per day, fed him and gave him lots of love. We were very comfortable while on vacation knowing that he was in great hands. We will call upon Hayley again in the near future to take care of our baby (senior :) )”
About: I worked with doggies day care for about 2 years in college. Staying at clients houses watching their pets. It was awesome I learned great training skills and was able to walk tons of dogs! I was also a preschool teacher at this time as well and cpr certified. I’m an early riser I’m up around 6:30-7:00 and I take my border collie on her 2 mile walk. Every morning. I’m a master esthetician starting a business right now so any free time I’m at the spa with my own clients. I like late nights as well, but I’m very active so if you need a dog walker or someone to wear your high energy pup out I’m your girl! At my house I have a full fenced yard. However there is 4 large dogs here. A full house no doubt. I’d love to do at home visits or boarding at clients house not my own.
About: One of my greatest joys is seeing happy dogs with big smiles and full body wags. I understand the stress and anxiety that comes with leaving your fur babies at home while being away and I would love to be there comfort while you are gone!! I have experience with all different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and ages! I have had my own dogs from the beginning fun puppy stages, to the softness of there senior years, and held them in my arms on their final journey. I am more than capable of giving liquid or oral medication, following special dietary needs, or noticing any pain/ discomfort your fur babies need. I also have experience with giving shots, ear and eye drops, wound care, and mobility help as I have had special needs dogs. I’m currently full time pet care, and house sitting. My schedule is readily available and completely open to assist with overnight stays, walking, hiking, playing, and cuddles! I will follow any specific directives given, as I know the stress and heartache of being separated from each other. I understand the importance of routine in an animals life. Currently I have two fur babies and know structure and consistency is key. As well as an abundance of love and quality time with each other. My dogs are truly my best friends and I look forward to loving yours as my own.
About: I have a lot of hands on experience with cats from volunteering and the humane society. I’ve learned how to read their body language, love figuring out what kind of toys they like to play with, giving them love and attention, and I’m not afraid of the litter box. I currently work full time, but I work remote and have a flexible schedule. I would be able to come over for however long is needed to spend time with your fur baby. I have 2 cats at home and I rent, so I cannot board at my house. However, I will use whatever you have available and whatever your pet likes at your house to help take care of your fur baby! I pay great attention to detail and make sure I get the job done in a way you and your pet will love.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cottonwood Heights
Stevie was great! First of all, she was super responsive with messages which was incredibly appreciated with a last minute need. She took great care of my girls and sent lots of updates and photos, even refilling their water bowls without being asked after a long fetch session on a hot day :) I will definitely use her again in the future!
Kelcie did an amazing job taking care of our dog and our home while we were away! She came by each day without fail, kept our pup happy and loved, and even collected our chicken eggs — which was above and beyond! We came home to a happy dog and everything exactly as we left it. She is reliable, caring, and clearly a true animal lover. We would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cottonwood Heights stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Cottonwood Heights 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!
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 .

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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Cottonwood Heights with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
