“Needed last minute help with potty break coverage while at work and Adam was great! Followed my super long (and likely overwhelming) instructions and my doggies were grateful for the visit!”
“The care and attentiveness shown our dogs was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed getting daily updates and pictures! We will most certainly be requesting repeat bookings!”
“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!”
About: I grew up with dogs and love them dearly! I have been dog sitting for the past many years for friends and family. I have experience with both long (6 months) and short term pet sitting. I work full time as a ski patroller and EMT. I love to trail run, hike and knit. My experience as a ski patroller comes with caring for, skiing with and helping to train avalanche dogs. I’d love to take your dog for anything from a neighborhood stroll to a mountain adventure. I have recently become a huge cat lover. I live with a cat whom I love so much and care for often. I’d love to do anything you need for your kitty friend! Extras- I do have limited experience watching and caring for horses and other animals. I love all animals! I make my own schedule at my job as an EMT, so am typically free Friday Saturday and Sunday! But am very flexible and open to most things! I love to go on walks in parks and on trails! I am open to taking your pet where ever is best for them to be. Happy to keep it close to home or drive us to an adventure!
“Alayna was quick to respond and we were able to schedule a meet and greet the same day. She is super sweet and she was great with Kaiju. Will definitely use her services again.”
“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!”
“Audreylee and Austin are so sweet to communicate with and great with my cat. Very appreciative for their proximity and availability, will request them again!”
About: I’ve watched dogs, cats, puppies, senior dogs with medical needs, turtles, bunnies, fish, chickens, and open to all other pets! I’ve grown up around animals all my life, and continue to be a trusted and loyal sitter for my family and friends furry family members. I love taking dogs on walks, or simply hanging out on the couch catching giving lots of pets and love. I’m extremely patient and have dealt with all types of personalities with pets. I hope you chose me to take care of your pets! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so I’m able to bring my work with me anywhere! I love going on walks throughout my day, and it’s made even better if I have a dog accompanying me. On weekends, I’ll prioritize the pets always. If they’re an energetic dog, I’ll make sure they get their energy out. If they’re more on the mellow side, I’ll make sure to spend time with them giving lots of pets and lounge next to them. If I need to leave the house for errands or workout, I try to not spend more than 2 hours aways at most. Your pet is my priority! I like to make sure I have all the info to ensure the most successful visit. If there’s any limitations on movements, or priorities of energy, I want to focus on the best time spent and that your pet is happy and safe. If I walk them, I avoid busy areas and keep them calm and safe. If we are inside, I make sure they have my attention and are getting all the love. Clear communication and expectations of what you would like will set us both up for success and happiness.
“Beth was great with my dog and cat. She was really good about keeping me in the loop and sending pictures and videos while we were away. She was able to walk my dog every time she went over as well. Definitely will be using again!”
“Rachel was amazing from the start of our communication thru the end of the visits with Max. She communicated well and worked with me on adding a second visit the same day, I definitely will use Rachel again!!”
“Mabel is absolutely the best dog sitter I have ever worked with. She goes above and beyond for my two dogs. She is consistent with her updates and photos, and is quick to update me if anything out of the ordinary happens. My two boys get a little nervous when we leave, but now it seems like they are excited to hang out with Mabel. I cannot recommend her enough, she really is the best!”
“Jaina did an amazing job with my senior fur baby !! She is detailed, punctual and always open to suggestions. She keeps my girl on her schedule and communicates wonderfully to keep me updated !!!”
“Alecia was great she watched our senior lab for a long weekend. She came before our trip to meet our pup and see her routine, which was wonderful! She was prompt with her visit, communication and pictures. We would use her again”
“Camille has cared for our cat several times. She’s quick to respond, takes good care of him while we’re gone, and has been kindly flexible when we had to change our dates on one occasion.”
“After having trouble deciding what to do, we were blessed to find Sandi. This was our first time leaving our cat and we couldn't have found a better person to watch over her. Our cat tends to be shy and wants to stay away from people, but in the short time Sandi watched over her, our cat quickly got attached to Sandi. We loved all the pictures we got while we were away. Thank you for taking care of our little Sammy.”
“Kelly was great. I have a senior border collie and she took the time to learn her quirks and make her comfortable. Kelly also made sure to play with my cats each visit and give them attention. Would definitely book with her again.”

Nataliia is such a wonderful pet sitter! She is always so attentive to our kitties, gives them lots of love and attention. One my kitties had a cut on his chin before our trip and she went above and beyond to take pictures and check on it daily for us to make sure there were no signs of infection. We are so grateful and relieved to know theyre in good hands while we are away!
I came home from a week long trip to a very calm kitty. He gets really anxious and leaving town can be tricky. He liked Camille right away and this is the most calm I’ve seen him after a trip (even just weekend ones). I will definitely book with Camille again in the future. Thank you so, Camille!
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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
