“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!!”
“Laynee is a fantastic sitter. She was so kind and communicative while we were away this week. She sent me pictures every day and I know my cat was well taken care of. Will definitely be using her service again!”
About: ☀️ DAYTIME ONLY • NO OVERNIGHTS ☀️ I specialize in focused daytime companionship blocks, drop-ins, and walks. I don’t offer overnights or boarding, which means your pet gets 100% of my energy during the day, and I get to head home to my own pack at night! 🐾 I provide way more than basic pet sitting—I’m all about companionship, routine, and real peace of mind. My Favorites & Specialties: The Sweet Seniors: Older pups are my jam! I’m great with slower strolls, medication reminders, mobility assistance, and extra comfort care. Daytime Companionship Blocks: Need someone to hang out with your anxious pup or senior pet for 2 to 4 hours while you run errands or head to lunch? I’m your person! Patience & Calm Energy: I love building trust with dogs who need an extra-patient, calm human presence to feel safe. With a background in customer service and caregiving, I’m ultra-dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented. Whether your pet needs a high-energy outdoor adventure or just a cozy daytime hang, I tailor every visit to their exact vibe. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and being active. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets attention, consistency, companionship, exercise, and personalized care throughout the day. I enjoy creating, fun, positive experiences for pets whether that means walks, playtime, relaxing companionship, check-ins, enrichment activities, or simply helping them stick to their normal routine while their owners are away or busy. I also love to go on hikes close by and running those really active pups. I treat every pet like an individual and make time to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. A typical day with me is calm, flexible, and tailored to your pet’s personality and energy level. Some pets want adventure, enrichment, and outdoor time, while others are happiest with companionship, routine, cuddles, and a relaxed environment. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping owners updated with communication and photos. Depending on your pet’s needs, visits can include walks, playtime, enrichment activities, feeding, medication support, potty breaks, relaxing companionship, or outings for extra stimulation and exercise. I’m especially patient with shy pets, seniors, and animals who need extra reassurance or consistency. I believe pets do best when they feel understood instead of rushed or stressed. My goal is simple: happy pets, peace of mind for owners, and care that feels personal instead of one-size-fits-all.
“Celine was absolutely spectacular. She’s a wonderful communicator who gets back to you quickly and professionally. And I can 100% tell my cat loved having her. She made my vacation experience a lot less stressful and I hope to be able to hire her again sometime.”
“Emily is amazing! She dropped in on our two cats 2x daily over the Christmas holiday. It was the longest we’ve left our cats alone, and Emily took such great care of them! She gave us detailed updates, which eased our minds. My girl cat is extremely shy and hasn’t come out at all for anyone but my husband and I, and she warmed up to Emily after a couple days. A huge deal! We will definitely book with her again.”
“Mara was amazing! She had last minute availability to feed our pups and was extremely thorough with her communication and pictures :) We really appreciate it and will definitely be using her again in the future to watch our two great danes!”
“Kira is a sweetheart and my dog, Maizy, took to her right away. Kira did drop in visits, took her on walks, and spent extra time with her. Maizy was so happy with the attention and Kira was great company for her. I looked forward to the updates, receiving notes/picture each time. Kira is trustworthy and I really appreciate her tender loving care of my sweet puppy.”
“Lindsey was super flexible in assisting us in a last minute situation. Her communication was excellent and she gave us frequent updates regarding our dog which made us feel at ease. We would highly recommend her.”
“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.”
“Kristi has been amazing with our cat Lucy. She always sends us the best pictures that help us know that Lucy is safe and happy. She is also super accommodating with picking up and dropping off keys before and after our trips. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a cat or dog sitter.”
“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.”
“Kelsey was great!! She sent pictures everyday that she came and cared for our pups. She even took them for walks a few times. I will be contacting her again for more dog sittings in the near future. She was also very polite and understanding to our dogs needs. Thank you again Kelsey!”
“Took amazing care of our cat!! She sent lots of pictures and was really detailed in telling us how our cat was doing each day. Our cat seemed to love her and was doing great when we got home!”
“Casey was absolutely wonderful - I cannot recommend her more highly! She was so kind, attentive, and compassionate while cat sitting for us. She sent wonderful photos and updates throughout that made me so glad that our cat was in her capable hands. I could tell that she gave my cat such great attention, playing with her and engaging her when she was being shy. She sent great photos that showed how much my cat loved getting pets from her and it made me frel at ease to see that my cat was getting such love and care while I was away. Casey went above and beyond throughout the entire experience, including navigating a situation that arose with our pet incredibly skillfully, compassionately, and generously. I would choose Casey again in a heartbeat and recommend her in the highest - I would trust her deeply with the care of any animal of mine!”
“Jennifer was amazing once again with our puppy. I love getting picture updates from her and she even brought some cute toys for him to play with. I highly recommend her!”

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!
I have had the privilege of having Crystal take care of my dog Lily the past couple of years, and she goes absolutely above and beyond in dog care. We have never had someone so attentive, caring, loving, and courteous. My dog can be quite shy and reserved, especially with new people, but in no time at all she was wagging her tail and squealing with excitement when it came time to hang out with Crystal. Soon after, she would perk up and start wagging her tail with a mere mention of Crystal's name! Separation anxiety can go both ways, but with Crystal I always know my dog is incredibly happy and given ample attention, love, care, exercise, and affection. From afternoon walks to week-long trips, she always takes care of my Lily as her own, and I have peace of mind knowing that Lily is in the best of hands. Thank you, Crystal, for all of your help over the years!
Meggie was great with our puppy! She let him out on time, played with him, and even sent us a cute photo! He definitely gained a new friend! I had forgotten to tell her to put him back in his crate but she did it anyways, which was relieving to us to know he wasn’t left wandering around the house. It’s great to know he was in good hands while we were out. We’ll definitely book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 4,265 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Cottonwood Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cottonwood Heights. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
