About: Hi! I’m Riley, a senior at the University of Utah with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve worked in pet care for a few years and cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m active, responsible, and dedicated to your pet, whether that means long walks, playtime, or sticking closely to your pet’s routine. I’m also comfortable handling feeding schedules, medications, and high-energy dogs. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel confident your pet is in good hands! I'm currently finishing up school at the Univerity of Utah, and the rest of my time will be dedicated to spending time with your pets! I am extremely felxible and will be able to accomodate just about anything you and your pets might need. At my current residence I am unfortunately unable to host any additional pets in my home, but I am more than willing to stay in your home to look after your pets or pick-up/meet just about anywhere for walks or playtime!

“Sarah is lovely to work with and my Daisy L❤️VES her! Not only is she beyond patient and kind with my dog, but she is also quick to respond, 100% reliable, and has wonderful communication skills. I was a bit hesitant to use Rover, but if all dog walkers are even close in comparison to Sarah, your animal will be in the best care. Thanks, Sarah!!”

“Wonderful service from Sydney. She is reliable and trustworthy with my Scottish terrier, Walle, and he looks forward to their weekly walks now. I can’t recommend her enough if you’re looking for someone to care for your pet.”


About: I recently had a dog for four years! I enjoy taking pups on long walks and making sure they’re happy and healthy. I love dogs because it fulfilling to take care of them!! I already enjoy going on long walks. I would love to take a furry friend out for a stroll! I’m responsible and care about your dogs well being! I no longer live with a dog, and would love to have some furry companionship!! I’m responsible and take your pets health seriously! I love dogs!
“Payton is the best! So amazing with animals can’t say I’ve seen anyone relate to animals so well. So Happy to have found Payton! Whole heart and soul ! Thank You Sooooo very much for walking Maestro ❤️”

“Paige is everything that I was hoping to find in a dog walker! My pup loved her immediately. She is very reliable, easy going, and communicative. So glad to have found her. Highly recommended.”

“Kaitlyn was wonderful with my pups- they love her!! She was so easy to work with and it was really nice to know she was taking care of them when we weren’t home. Will definitely book her again.”


About: I have been around animals my whole life and have been in the veterinary field for 2 years. I'm looking to do some dog walking for the summer, and am a regular cat sitter! I'm available Mon-Wed at any time in the day! I can make Sundays work after 12pm. I'm currently working full time Thurs-Sat 1p-1a so I will be unavailable those days and Sunday mornings. I am happy to petsit at your home, or I can stop by to give your fuzzy creature a potty break! Unfortunately I live in a small apartment and am unable to petsit within my home.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent more than 20 years raising dogs — including a Spitz–Collie mix, Japanese Akita, Elkhound, German Shepherd mix, and Doberman — and I’ve been a Zen cat mom to two wonderful cats, a tortoiseshell and a tuxedo, for the past 15 years. I’m new to the area and absolutely love animals. As an entrepreneur, I’m able to keep a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for pet care. I see pet sitting as a wonderful way to stay active while exploring and getting to know my new community. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. In your home, I follow your instructions closely — including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box or yard breaks, walks, medications (if needed), and favorite routines or rituals. During house sitting and drop-in visits, I also keep an eye on your home’s safety, bring in mail or packages, and maintain a calm, tidy environment. For dogs, I provide structured walks, playtime, and plenty of affection while respecting their energy level and training style. For cats, I offer gentle interaction at their pace — whether that’s playtime, quiet companionship, or simply maintaining their preferred environment — along with daily litter care and enrichment. My goal is always to reduce stress, maintain consistency, and ensure every pet feels secure, seen, and well-cared for in their familiar space.

“Sheila took great care of my fur baby and provided detailed updates for each walk, even when the Rover app was not working correctly. She went the extra mile to let me know what was going on and to make sure my dog was happy while we were gone.”

About: I am not only in love with all animals, but it is my passion and future career to help animals in need of representation and humane treatment. Animals have been my sole focus since childhood, and my education (bachelors degree in Health, Society and Policy) and career choices have and will reflect that. I am not only responsible, but have that extra mile of love and empathy to give. I feel as though this provides owners more comfort in knowing who is caring for their babies. I am athletic and very much so enjoy taking them out instead of looking at it as a chore. I have an extremely flexible schedule, and a lot of time to give. I have no fears of animals and difficult behavioral issues that may occur. I am also a mega communicator! I will always keep the owner in the loop so we are always on the same page. I live with 3 dogs currently that belong to my bestfriend/roommate. I am with them all day and night, and watch them frequently on my own when their mom is out. I care for them, walk them, feed them and sleep with them. I also frequently dog sit for days at a time at another owners house. The biggest thing is that I spend all of the time with them. A lot of dog sitters make sure they have the basic needs like food water and go to the bathroom, but I LOVE to get in that extra love time with them to make sure they also have the attention. It helps them trust more, and helps with the anxiety of their parent being gone. I love making the walks longer for them, and being patient.

About: Previous experience with dogs and cats at local shelters as well as Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Knowledgd in providing care for all types of different animals. Outside of roller derby training with the local league and volunteering with the food bank, my schedule is open and available to help with your pet care needs. I have previous experience with senior pets, special needs pets, and animals with low socializing issues; however, I am not a trained nor certified trainer.
About: What sets me apart is my ability to balance high-energy adventure with attentive comfort within your pet’s own home. As an active outdoor enthusiast, I provide a variety of outings tailored to your dog, ranging from neighborhood excursions to vigorous trail runs right from your front door. Beyond these activities, I am a committed companion for animals who require a gentler pace. I have extensive experience managing the unique health needs of senior animals and truly enjoy spending quality time with cats in their own home. By offering professional, one-on-one care where your pets feel most secure, I ensure they remain happy and engaged while you are away. Pet care is currently my primary focus as I am taking a career break and working only part-time. This transition allows me to offer a high level of flexibility and dedicated time to your animals. Because I own an adventure RV, I am uniquely equipped to provide extended in-home care. This mobile setup allows me to stay nearby or easily relocate to your home, ensuring I am available for frequent walks, trail runs, or quality companionship throughout the day and night. My schedule is designed to revolve around the needs and routines of your pets, providing them with consistent and reliable care. I prioritize the safety and security of your home and your pets through a disciplined and attentive approach. When providing in-home care, I maintain a clean and organized environment, ensuring all doors and gates remain securely locked at all times. For dogs, I conduct a thorough assessment of their harness and leash before any outing to ensure a secure fit for neighborhood walks or trail runs. During outdoor adventures, I stay highly alert to our surroundings and always keep pets on a lead unless we are in a securely fenced area. For senior animals and cats, I monitor their comfort levels and health closely, strictly following all provided care instructions and medication schedules. My goal is to maintain the integrity of your home while ensuring your pets remain safe and content in their familiar surroundings.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and currently own both a Husky with a seizure disorder and a senior Malamute with arthritis. Caring for special needs and senior dogs has given me hands-on experience with medications, mobility support, routines, and recognizing behavioral changes quickly. I have also personally trained my own dogs and am comfortable working with high-energy breeds, strong personalities, and dogs that need extra patience and structure. I am currently a full-time student and work from home doing freelance projects, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, playtime, and attention. I am available for drop-ins and dog walks throughout the week, overnight boarding in my home (I do have two large breed dogs but they get along with others), and outings to local parks or dog parks like Tanner Park for socialization and exercise. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, triggers, and energy level so I can provide consistent care with as little stress as possible. In my home, dogs are supervised, exercised appropriately, and given a calm environment with plenty of attention, play, and structure. I also have a fully fenced yard with a dog door so dogs have safe access to outdoor time and potty breaks throughout the day. I am experienced with medications, mobility support, and monitoring behavioral changes due to caring for both a special needs Husky and a senior Malamute.
About: I’ve been able to take care of animals since I can remember. I’ve always had pets in my house and I’ve had to take care of them because they were my responsibility. I lived in a neighborhood where i was the neighborhood dog walker and care taker when people were out of town. I have dealt with all types of animals big and small. I will ensure that your service is great. I am currently a student athlete in college and it’s hard to find a full time job. I LOVE animals and i love being outdoors so this is something that can be so perfect for me. I am typically very free on the weekends and sometimes during the weekdays and id love to spend that free time with your pet. I am willing to stay at an environment where I need to watch your pet overnight or just during the day or whenever needed. I love to be outdoors and love to stay active. I am a college athlete so id love to get outside and take your pet on a walk and make sure they’re getting the exercise they need.
East Central dog parents share their Rover experiences
Thanks Marissa for walking my favourite son, Logan. I really appreciate the quick responses during a chaotic time for us (having just moved from another country). Logan is an anxious dog, sometimes not ok w other dogs and judging by the feedback and photos Marissa sent, she’s managed to help him make new furry friends already!! Thank you so much.

Kristen was amazingly patient with Hero. Having a vet tech background and experience with so many different animals made me feel completely at ease leaving our senior boy with her. She followed all of our specific walking routines perfectly, and as a wonderful bonus, she took the most beautiful photos of Hero! Highly recommend her!

Claire was amazing! She was incredibly responsive, punctual, and communicative throughout the entire experience. She took such great care of Molly, and it was clear that Molly felt comfortable and happy with her. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing Molly was in such good hands. I would absolutely book Claire again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Elena was great!! She took such good care of our pups, taking them on long walks (even in the rain) and sent many cute photos that were better than the ones we have even been able to take! We were relieved knowing that Elena was coming over to feed and check on the pups after having been gone for a long day because we knew she would take great care of them and the pups love her.

Sarah has been walking our pups for the past two weeks, and they’ve already fallen in love with her. She’s punctual and ensures they get their walks, treats, and belly rubs. I had a hard time finding someone I could trust to take care of them, but I’ve found my perfect match in Sarah.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk.

- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
