About: I've taken care of many pets throughout the years. My mom says I can "speak dog" only because I can sense if something is off and do my best to figure out what my friend needs. Some of my unique experience has come from my own pets. Last year I lost my 14 yo Daizy (Yorkie). She was a senior who was partially blind and required special baths, food and medication. I also have a deaf dog who is 15+ and understand the need to make myself known without scaring my sweet boy. Daizy and Dodger had/have severe anxiety, I'm familiar with thunder jackets, CBD for calming, and using music/white noise as a distraction during weather events or fireworks. I have a cat named Hank who is about 4.5. He showed up at my husband's shop in downtown Salt Lake. He lived with the feral cat colony that the shop cares for. He took a special liking to my husband and was very friendly. We think he may have been dumped by his previous family. Long story short, we built him a cat castle and brought him home. He's such a sweet boy, love him SO MUCH. (And all the pets get along, yay!) I've had 4 dogs, raising them all from puppies. My Daizy also gave birth to 3 puppies and I'm familiar with pregnant/nursing dogs. I work part time with a very flexible schedule. I recently lost my 14 yo Daizy (Yorkie). She was an angel on earth. She was so funny, very demanding (she'd tell me when to tuck her in and when she wanted her medicine) and required a lot of special care. I'm quite lost without her and am looking for a way to give away that extra love to other sweet babies. Please note: I have a 6 year old and 9 year old. Depending on the time of day or time of year I may be required to bring them to the visit. I would notify you ahead of time -were that the case. They are very polite young ladies who are very respectful of others' and their property. One of my reviews, is a long time client Wendy (20+ years) and my girls help me on all her visits (per request from her dog 😉). Bailey (lab) loves playing fetch with my girls. I'm quite particular on not disturbing anything, and if there were any messes left by our furry friends I would not leave until it was taken care of. Safety and cleanliness are a priority for me. I actually work in a hospital setting that has trained me to be hyper vigilant on safety and cleanliness.
About: What’s better than one pet sitter? Two! We are a married couple with flexible schedules who go above and beyond to care for your pets! We both grew up with animals, and now are raising an adorable dog of our own. We have done Rover since 2022 and have loved it! As a hybrid part-time worker, my schedule is totally flexible! I love to break up my work day with play time and walks, and your pet is welcome to sit on my lap as I work. Drew works a hybrid schedule as well and joins me in the evenings, along with filling in any gaps when I am not available. I will treat your home with the same respect and care that I treat my own! I always hope to leave it in better condition than when I arrived.

About: Growing up I was the go to neighborhood dog sitter! I’ve personally raised my two Siberian Huskies from fluff babies in to their golden years which has taught me puppy training, potty schedules, meal schedules and long, tire them out walks and runs. My current 14yo female husky has slowly lost her vision and hearing so I have a huge soft spot for sweet seniors and pups that need extra special attention with medication or gentle care! I’m fully remote and only put in 20-25 hours per week at my day job. I set my own schedule which allows me full flexibility to be there for your pup! Because I work fully remote and only put in 20-25 hours a week from my day job, your pup gets my full attention! I set my own schedule which means I have endless flexibility for mid-day walks, specialized puppy or senior potty breaks and PLENTY of play time. I have a massive fully fenced backyard ready for zoomies and sunbathing. We love walking distance from a large park making it long sniff-filled walks that much more convenient. I also have a dog-ready vehicle with a secure dog car seat, so I can safely transport your pet if needed. All this to say, your pet’s routine won’t miss a beat!
About: I have taken care of plenty of animals from a very young age. I’ve trained before and enjoyed seeing the progress that comes with. I am great with any age of dog and understand the difference in temperament! I am currently working a job as a barista and am a student at SLCC. My job is fairly flexible and doesn’t demand my full days. I do schooling online so it is easy for me to do homework anywhere. I am happy to take your dog on walks, play with them in the backyard, do trainings etc. Whatever your pet may need! I am familiar with crate training and am comfortable with it. I like to watch dogs in your home, because it gives them a sense of safety and comfort.
“Absolutely incredible experience with Ashlyn. She was flexible and able to fit my dogs in for an emergency walk, she totally saved the day for us! She was incredibly respectful of my home and also followed all instructions perfectly. My dogs absolutely loved Ashlyn and had a wonderful time with her. I totally recommend her to anyone and everyone! Thanks again Ashlyn!”
About: I have been pet and house sitting on and off my whole life for friends, family and clients. I love getting to play with cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes and giving the owner the satisfaction and reassurance that their pet is well loved and taken care of through pictures and text or email updates. I love spending time outside going for long hikes in the mountains or just a quick walk around the neighborhood. I have experience taking care of a wide variety of animals, I have experience giving shots, IV's, inhalers and medications to animals with an array of health issues. I am very clean, reliable, dependable and local. I have a dog of my own so am often going to check out the trails with him, walking around the neighborhood or checking out all the off leash dog parks in the area. I have experience working with all types of animals with different needs. Such as daily exercise, medication schedules and senior pets who just need a little extra help.
About: Sitter on Rover since August of 2022. Star sitter since April of 2024, when star sitters became a thing. Though my true experience lies in caring for friends' and neighbors' pets since I was 10 years old. Over the years, I've looked after dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, reptiles, and more. I have a special soft spot for senior pets, but l love the energy and joy that puppies and kittens bring too. Every animal I meet is treated like my own - with patience, attention, and plenty of love. Rover is my main job, and I plan my other work around it whenever possible, so my schedule is very flexible. I always make sure there's plenty of time for walks, play, and companionship. Whether your pet loves outdoor adventures or prefers to follow a calm daily routine, I'll adjust to what makes them happiest. I live in a house with a fenced yard, shared with three friendly dogs who enjoy both playtime and relaxing around the house. I'm comfortable administering ear drops, eye drops, and oral medications. I can also carry dogs up to about 90 pounds if needed - perfect for pets who need a little help getting around. Your pet's comfort and safety always come first.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for 17 years. Have dog and cat sat and boarded dogs in my home for years now for friends and family and I decided to get on Rover. I am a caretaker at heart, very patient and nurturing and will make sure your doggies are taken care of as if they were home with you. I believe a happy dog is a dog who gets lots of exercise and pets/attention and that’s exactly what I prioritize for all my doggy guests. I love to send pics and videos throughout the day so you will always know how your dog is doing. I have a golden retriever who loves friends. I also have two teenage boys (14 and 17) who love dogs as much as I do. I only watch a max of 3-4 doggies at a time to make sure I can give them the proper attention. I can only watch dogs that get along with other dogs because I usually have 2 dogs plus my golden most days. I work from home and take out my dog and doggy guests for daily walks everyday. In the morning, during lunch time and after work. We walk 60-90 mins a day and I will walk 3-4 dogs at a time. (2-3 doggy guests plus my golden). I live in a beautiful gated townhome community with multiple grassy areas. I also have a fenced porch area. Excited to meet your fur baby.

I couldn't ask for a better dog walker! Kirk is incredibly reliable, punctual, and genuinely cares for my dog like his own. I get great updates and photos after every walk, which gives me complete peace of mind. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, energetic, and fantastic with dogs I recommend Kirk!
Natalia is so amazing and kind, absolutely would recommend her to anyone who loves their pup, we trust her completely! We needed a dog walker 3 times a week for a few weeks to help us out while my husband and I work 12hr long shifts. Natalia showed up every day right on time and earned our dogs trust instantly! He looked so happy and relaxed on his walks. She made she he had plenty of time to potty and sniff and lots of water when they got home. Her photos and little messages after each walk made our day during long shifts knowing our pup was doing okay! She’s super awesome at communicating and we will for sure be using her in the future when work and life have long days and we need someone to come check in and care for our fur baby. :)
Rachel is amazing! This was my dog’s first time walking with someone other than myself and my husband. Rachel was very passionate about making sure our little guy was comfortable and safe. The communication was prompt and clear. I was nervous as a new puppy parent. However, once I met Rachel, all of my worries melted away. I can not recommend Rachel enough! I’m looking forward to booking Rachel again in the future. Thank you for everything!

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
