“Angelica was recommended to us by our normal cat sitter when she wasn’t available. She did a great job filling in and took charge of coordinating with our normal cat sitter for details since we were unavailable on travel. Thanks for the help!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. Not a day has gone by that I've never been around a pet. I even take care of my friend's pets at college when I can! Pet care fits perfectly into my summer routine! I’m free to spend time with your pets, whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just giving them some love and attention. It’s the ideal way for me to enjoy my summer while taking care of your furry friends! I prioritize safety and trust by ensuring a calm, pet-friendly environment. Whether in your home or mine, I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and secure. I’m attentive to their needs and make sure they feel loved and safe while you’re away.
About: 🐾 Reliable, active, and personalized care for your pup! Whether your dog loves long adventures or prefers a slower-paced stroll, I’ll tailor every walk and stay to their unique personality and energy level. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As the owner of a friendly 1-year-old Golden Retriever, I’m experienced with energetic puppies, adolescent dogs, and breeds that need plenty of physical and mental enrichment. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, maintaining routines, and providing lots of play, exercise, and affection. For boarding, I require a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone and to help your dog feel comfortable before their stay. I have a flexible job so can take time where needed to provide the best care for your dog. I love the outdoors and will always make time for dogs. I care for pet’s the same way that I would treat my own: with love, care and enthusiasm. I am a very active person and love to be active with pets and enjoy the outdoors with them.
“Steven was great!!! He is great at communicating and responds super fast. He was amazing with our dog, and gave great photos and updates in our rover card. Can’t wait to book with him again! Thank you so much for watching our dog!!”
“Emily was amazing. She took great care of our dog and gave us thorough updates as to how the drop in visits went. I would absolutely recommend Emily for taking care of your pet!”
“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!”
“Once again, I was able to go on vacation with full peace of mind, knowing that my babies are in the best hands possible. I have 5 pets of all ages and personalities, and they all require there special handling, Ashley caters to their needs, including administering meds, temperments and pampering. She'll even take care of plants if required! If you want the best worry free care for your babies, she's the one!”
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!
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.
“My golden retriever loved Elisabeth at first sniff. She was so attentive to my dog when dropping in and very punctual. Amazing love and service when I needed the help. I will definitely book her again and I know my pup will be excited to see her as her sitter.”
About: I am happy to work on training if you want me to. I trained my dog for hunting back in the day; he mostly turned out to be a well trained cuddler. We can talk about this for an extra charge if you like. I use positive reinforcement with treats and am a firm believer in the clicker method. I am happy to provide medications to for your dog as well. My dog, Micky, is 9 and takes multiple as he has allergies and hypothyroidism. I only work part time from home and also only have my son part time, so I will have plenty of time to keep your pup company and take care of him/her! I have a large fenced yard, am 2 or 3 houses away from a park, and have mountains just up the street for doggy hikes. I also have a fenced and locked pool area. Let me know if you allow your dog to take a dip and I will happily let them in as long as they are not super muddy. Of course, no dogs or small humans are allowed in the pool unsupervised. There is no access to it either without a key.
“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.”
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.
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.
“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: 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.
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!
“Madison was a fantastic sitter. She took excellent care of our three cats, was responsible, and communicated effectively. She even watered some plants for me, which I greatly appreciated. We would definitely work with her again.”
“Suni is as good as it gets! I am a repeat customer because she does a great job and communicates very well. Beyond her high degree of professionalism, she loves animals and takes care of all their needs! Whole fur family and I trust her.”
“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 :) )”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cottonwood Heights
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!

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.

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.

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.
