“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!”
“Audrey took a good care of Bunny. She’s responsive and patient. I loved seeing pictures she sent on Rover everyday. I came back home to a happy little cat.”
“Faith was absolutely amazing. As a neurotic pet parent with no supports in the area, I don’t know what I would do without her and the peace of mind I was able to have while I was away. Faith was great with communicating with me and went above and beyond during her visits. She’s also a great photographer and got some pictures that added major wellness points for me! Would 10/10 recommend!”
“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.”
“Jaina was great! You can tell she takes her job seriously and that she seriously likes cats haha. She watched our two kitties while we were out and I'll be sure to use her again in the future.”
“Rachel was the absolute best! Our first time needing this service and she came through providing the loving care our Cooper needed. Can’t begin to thank her enough! Truly a find. We would recommend and use her again if she isn’t booked up 😀 Thank you Rachel”
“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!”
“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.”
“Whitney was amazing! She watched our bunny while we were out of town for a week, and he was so well cared for. I appreciate how thorough and caring she is, and I’ll absolutely be booking with her again. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Alecia has been such a life saver for helping with my 5 month old puppy since I work full time. She takes such good care of him and is great about communicating any concerns she has and giving me thorough updates throughout the visits”
“Wow! Beth took such good care of Gravy, better than any other Rover sitter we've had check in on him before. She sent videos of their time together and was so easy to communicate with. I'll definitely ask her to watch Gravy again.”
“Mabel was awesome and very professional. She sent us daily videos when she would drop by of our cats. She made sure everybody was fed and watered and safe. She was very dependable and always on time. Everything was fantastic, and would certainly have her help us out again.”
“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!!”
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.
About: I have always been an avid animal lover and advocate. I have spent over ten years caring, volunteering, and fostering animals of all ages and breed. From a young age, I’ve had an unyielding passion for animal care, driven by a profound love for our furry friends and a commitment to their well-being. My journey began with growing up alongside cats and dogs, which sparked a lifelong dedication to understanding and meeting the needs of animals. Over the past 6 years, I’ve further honed my skills as a dedicated foster caregiver for dogs and cats, navigating their diverse needs with compassion and expertise. My experience has deepened my appreciation for the unique personalities and requirements of each pet. Whether it’s ensuring a comfortable environment, providing enriching activities, or addressing specific health needs, I approach every pet sitting opportunity with a blend of empathy, patience, and meticulous attention. My goal is to create a safe and loving experience for your pets, reflecting my genuine passion for their care and happiness. I work from home full time, but would love to have my my morning, afternoon, or lunch break be to check in or walk a furry friend. I have a leash or can use yours provided. I am very cautious when entering and exiting homes and making sure everyone is safe and secure.

Laynee did an amazing job with our 2 skittish and independent cats. She was able to connect and gain their trust after only 2 days, very unusual as they are hardly ever seen by strangers, and to see them asking for and getting tons of loves for the rest of the time was heartwarming. We have now added, ‘make sure Laynee is available for cat care’ to our list of to-do’s before any trip. Thanks again Laynee!!!
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!
Faith was absolutely amazing. As a neurotic pet parent with no supports in the area, I don’t know what I would do without her and the peace of mind I was able to have while I was away. Faith was great with communicating with me and went above and beyond during her visits. She’s also a great photographer and got some pictures that added major wellness points for me! Would 10/10 recommend!
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!

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 .
As of September 2026, there are 4,345 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.

- 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.
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.
