“Zoe was amazing! Our German Shepherd is typically an anxious dog around new people but Zoe made him feel comfortable almost immediately. We felt very secure knowing that he was being well taken care of. Plus we got lots of pics and updates throughout our time away. We will definitely be having Zoe over again to watch Obi!”

“Payton did an amazing job taking care of our dogs. We were kept updated the whole time with messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It was clear there was genuine care and extra effort put into everything, even taking the dogs on hikes. I would absolutely love to book with Payton again and can’t recommend enough.”


“Highly recommend! She was punctual and very kind. She even sent me the cutest pics and videos of our pup while we were away. Definitely will hire her again ☺️”

“Kristen was a great sitter, sent daily updates with pics and video, communicated well before and during the stay, and left my apartment very clean. I came home to a very happy and safe pup, would highly recommend!”
“Xochitl was wonderful. Very friendly and helpful and our boys love her. I would whole heartedly recommend her and I will definitely be asking her back as well.”

“Evelynn took amazing care of my rescue pup while I was away! Communication was great and I received multiple pupdate photos. She asked super thoughtful questions about my dog during the stay; hope to book again!!!”

“Micheline, was fantastic. Very good with my dog. And very caring. Luna , my pup had an upset stomach and she helped nurture her to get better. Micheline was easy to coordinate with and just overall great care giver .”


“Cindy was so great with my cats and watching after my place while I was gone for a long weekend! She made time to come over and meet with me for my last minute booking and she sent many pictures throughout the time! So thankful to have her watch the cats!!”

“Emily is fantastic. She made sure all of Kodas needs were met while watching her, including taking her for hikes and trips to the dog park! It’s always reassuring knowing Koda is having fun and getting exercise when I have to travel for work. Emily was easy to communicate with and left the house very tidy. I’ll definitely be utilizing Emily’s services again.”

“Grace was a great sitter! She kept our older dog on her normal schedule (something that’s important to me!), sent photos and updates, plus we came home to a clean house. It’s always a little nerve wracking leaving your pet, especially when you are out of the country for 2+ weeks but Grace made sure I felt comfortable before leaving and was easy to communicate with. I’ll absolutely have her come stay again if she’s available.”

“Michaela was a great sitter! She was very consistent with communication and made me feel comfortable my dog was being well cared for the whole time I was gone. Like others have mentioned, she was an extremely considerate house guest as well. This has by far been my best experience with a Rover sitter and I would absolutely book with her again!”

About: I grew up with pets galore, from cats to dogs to gerbils to chinchillas to turtles and fish! I grew up in Utah and just moved to Salt Lake, I’m looking for some furry friends to come on walks with me! I can’t wait to meet them and love them! I am free for walks or check-ins early mornings from 6:45-7:45AM, during lunch time every day but Tues/Wed, and all evenings after 5PM! Saturday’s and Sundays are usually wide open! I prefer to watch pets in your home, as I’m in an apartment with no yard. Happy to do pop ins to feed them, let them out, and go on walks!
About: Hi, neighbors and friends! I’m a millennial pug mom who loves dogs. I have raised pugs since I was 3 years old. I come from a family of dog breeders, adopters, fosters, and truly love pets as family. I am offering to love on your dog as much as I love my two pug four year old babies. I can take them for daily walks or the dog park while you are at work or vacation. I’m happy to help with puppies and senior dogs who may need to go out more often, or those with separation anxiety to feel safe with someone with them at home. Now booking for Summer 2026 book for your next vacation to care for your dog. I'm currently available to walk your dog in the mornings and evenings, as well as take them to the dog park for a play date. My dogs keep a routine so let us know if your dog also has a special routine so we can accommodate! I'm also happy to sit with them so they don't feel alone if you are out of town. I can visit your pet and make sure they are fed and have water, play with them, let them out and take them for a walk to the dog park if you like.
“Delaney was amazing! We had to go on an extended trip and she was able to watch Zeus the whole time. She continuously provided updates and a plethora of pictures of the little guy. Thank you so much and we will definitely be using her again for the future!”

About: Hi! My name is Cheyenne, and I am a dedicated, trustworthy animal lover who genuinely cares about the health, happiness, and well-being of every pet in my care. I understand that pets are family, and I treat each animal with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own. Whether your pet needs companionship, exercise, feeding, medication, or simply someone to keep them safe and comfortable while you're away, you can count on me to provide reliable and compassionate care. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in caring and capable hands. I recently lost my job, and caring for animals has become my full-time source of income as I work to manage my bills and support myself. Because of this, every booking truly makes a difference and is greatly appreciated. More importantly, it allows me to spend my days doing something I genuinely love—caring for animals. Thank you for considering me. I would be honored to care for your pets and earn your trust. I am available anytime during the week or holidays / last minute bookings are also included in my services but prefer a day in advance to make sure your pet is comfortable with me and my animals. I have three pets of my own that I care for along with other pups in my building I check on during the day for those with long work schedules. I always include updates upon arrival/departure with pictures and a report card! If allowed, I will take pups to dog parks/ hikes around the area if well behaved.
“Everyone loves a sitter who is attentive, genuinely cares for animals, and provides regular updates with photos & videos, right? That was Kimmie for me. She was wonderful with my pup, Koko. Kimmie noticed that Koko had some cough symptoms and an abraded paw. She alerted me right away, sent videos, offered suggestions & insight, treated her injury, and was willing to bring her over to the vet if needed. She was in constant communication about Koko's status and sent photos regularly. That definitely gave me peace of mind while I was away. Her home is also full of toys to keep the pups entertain! I would recommend Kimmie to anyone in need of boarding.”

“Kristin brings dog sitting to the next level! She acted as though my dog bevo was just as important as hers. She prioritized the needs of my dog over anything else such as allowing her to sleep in the bed with her, run all car errands with her and she even snuck in extra walks. After Kristin left my dog bevo was standing at the door for a good hour 🤣 thanks Kristin for treating bevo like part of your family!!!”

“Annie went above and beyond with our cat and communicated effectively with unexpected situations at our home. Our cat seemed sad that it was me that came home and not her haha so you should book with her if you can :)”

Emma was a wonderful house and pet sitter for us for an 8 day trip out of the country. She had just the right spirit to care for our 2 energetic and sometimes demanding border collie/ Aussie mixes. The 7 month old can be a real handful. She sent us pictures of 2 happy dogs every day and the house was well cared for. We heartily recommend Emma for house and pet sitting. Oh - she also managed our small flock of chickens. 🤠
Erin took great care of our big boy! He isn't the easiest dog (>79 lbs, specific training & commands) but Erin did a fantastic job, especially given that we contacted her ~36 hours before we asked her to come watch him. Goose warmed up to her right away. She will be our go-to sitter from now on!

Melanie is amazing! She cared for our high-energy lab as if he was her own. He got off leash walks & swims every day, snuggles, and great care. She even washed the sheets & towels she used! Amazing. Her communication & pictures are top tear. We recommend her to everyone we know.

Mara was beyond amazing. She came over for a pre meeting and I knew immediately she would make a great sitter. Everyday she sent me updates about Princeton. She was very accommodating and most importantly felt safe to watch my baby. I’m grateful she was so diligent and warm towards my dog while I was away. I will absolutely be requesting her services in the future.

Olivia was a wonderful house sitter for our pup Issa. Issa gets anxiety when we leave (which of course gives me anxiety) but Olivia helped to assuage these feelings by being so great with Issa. We were in communication regularly figuring out how to best make Issa comfortable and Olivia even went out of her way to get special dog food to compel Issa to eat more. I hope to rebook Olivia again soon!
