About: I have had a love for animals since I can remember. I have 10 years of experience watching pets for family and friends. I am comfortable with providing medications if needed. I’m currently working full time from home, which allows me flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for pet and house sitting 7 days a week including holidays (pending schedule). I have a reliable vehicle and flexible schedule that allows me to travel to clients homes to care for their pets in an environment that they are most comfortable. I’m happy to stay overnight if needed.

“Spencer did a terrific job making sure my cat was fed and taken care of while I was away. He went above and beyond by giving her some extra food when my flight got delayed a day, so she would survive a day alone. Super Responsive and sent pics every day. Highly recommended!”

“Meisha has watched Zion (black lab) and Moose (cat) a number of times and has been incredible each and every time! She sends lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciate as someone who has trouble leaving my fur babies behind for a trip. This most recent visit, I reached out last minute because my pup had been stung by a bee and I had to go into work that night. I wasn’t comfortable leaving her alone for my entire shift and all of my friends were out of town for the holiday weekend and unavailable. Meisha was so kind and came by a few times throughout the night to hang out with Zion and Moose. The absolute kindest and best sitter to work with! Really couldn’t recommend her enough.”

“Kristi has done a wonderful job with drop-in visits for our cat. This was her 3rd time cat-sitting for us while my girlfriend and I were both out of town for work or vacation. She always communicates well and is flexible if things change (we came home early one trip and Kristi was so easy-going and friendly about the changes). She makes sure to send pictures and provide a quick summary of the visit that gives us both peace of mind.”

“Holly was excellent with our cat! Because he is diabetic, he requires insulin and thus can be temperamental and sometimes difficult. Holly was patient and willing to work with him to make sure he was comfortable when administering a shot. She went above and beyond and allowed us to have peace of mind while on vacation. We have already used her services twice and will do so in the future!”

About: Looking for someone dependable to give your dog a great walk while you're busy? I offer attentive, one-on-one dog walking in the Sandy/Salt Lake City area, a couple of days a week, so I can give every dog my full focus rather than rushing through a big roster. I treat every walk like it's my own, plenty of time to sniff, explore, and burn energy, plus a quick update with photos after each walk so you know exactly how it went. Whether your dog needs a calm stroll around the block or a more active outing, I'll match the pace to what they need. I'm reliable, punctual, and easy to communicate with, if plans change, you'll hear from me right away. New to the platform but not new to caring for animals attentively and consistently. I have a flexible schedule and can be available mornings and evenings 7 days a week in the sandy/holladay/Millcreek areas I work full time but have a flexible schedule so I can come at varying times. I can do mornings and evenings and even mid day visits depending on my work schedule. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I always confirm gate/door locks before and after every visit, keep dogs securely leashed at all times during walks, and never leave pets unsupervised around hazards like open doors, stairs, or unfamiliar animals. For cats, I double-check that windows and doors stay closed during visits so there's no chance of an escape. I pay close attention to each pet's individual behavior and stress signals, and I'll reach out immediately if anything seems off, whether that's a change in appetite, energy, or mood. In an emergency, I'll contact you right away and follow whatever instructions you've left for vet care. I also keep a close eye on the details that matter: correct food portions, medication schedules if applicable, and any specific routines you've shared with me, So your pets day stays as normal as possible in your absence

“Alaina always does a great job with our kitties. She not only feeds them and cleans their litter boxes, but she takes great care to learn their personalities and preferences to give them just the attention they need when I’m away. It gives me great peace of mind knowing that Alaina is watching my girls when I’m not able to.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs & cats my entire life; they are truly my greatest passion. My girl, a Puggle named Bug, was my entire heart and my whole world for nearly 18 years. I had to say goodbye to her a couple of months ago and my heart is still shattered. I would love to take care of your babies the way I took care of my own. I had Bug from when she was a puppy until her very old lady years that required an EXORBITANT amount of specialized care (meds, shots, diapers, medicated baths, etc.) You name it - I’ve dealt with it. Before my girl got sick and I had to give full-time attention to her, I was my friends/family’s go-to pet sitter for their babies. No one will take better, more thorough and loving care of your pets than me. I can’t wait to kiss them and spoil them with love ❤️ And, as a fellow helicopter dog mom, I welcome the pets who come with a 20 page instruction manual, with specifics from everything regarding feeding rituals, to poop/potty specifications! Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns! I was recently laid off, so my schedule is wide open! Also, when I am working, I work fully remote. So, even when my employment situation changes, I will still be home to care for your babies. I have a fully fenced in backyard and a big house with lots of beds, couches and dog beds/blankets! I also have lots of dog toys and just about anything else you can think of for dog/cat care (crates, leashes, bowls, etc.) My boyfriend recently moved in with his dog, Jasper. Jasper is extremely mild mannered and exceptionally well-trained. He is a 45lb Border Collie/Blue Heeler mix. If your pooch does not do well with other dogs, I will be able to keep your babies and Jasper 100% separate thanks to the layout of my home. But if you have a pooch who loves to play, they will get along great with Jasper!

About: I have always been around dogs (both big and small) and cats. I have also had a gecko and fish. I love playing and taking care of animals. I currently work full time but I am available after 4 pm. I always have Monday and Wednesdays off so I can help out anytime. I am so used to taking care of dogs that I can crate, feed, water, cuddle, walk, let outside and play. I will treat each and every pet as my own. I believe pets are family.

“We are so pleased with the care we get from Heaven. Our kitty is very reserved and loves to hide. She isn’t used to company and you would think that her and Heaven were long time buddies. I cannot say enough about how much we appreciate Heaven. We have booked with her several times now and we can always enjoy our vacation knowing everything is fine at home. Her communication is wonderful and we cannot wait for our next trip.”

About: You want a sitter who follows your rules, doesn't get overwhelmed, and genuinely enjoys the quirks of your pets. That’s my sweet spot. With 20 years of experience, I’ve seen it all—from high-energy dogs who need a solid hike to burn off the zoomies, to sweet seniors who just need a gentle pace and their meds on time. I’m big on routine, clear communication, and respecting your space. Your pets get a reliable companion; you get total peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and being active. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets attention, consistency, companionship, exercise, and personalized care throughout the day. I enjoy creating, fun, positive experiences for pets whether that means walks, playtime, relaxing companionship, check-ins, enrichment activities, or simply helping them stick to their normal routine while their owners are away or busy. I also love to go on hikes close by and running those really active pups. I treat every pet like an individual and make time to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. A typical day with me is calm, flexible, and tailored to your pet’s personality and energy level. Some pets want adventure, enrichment, and outdoor time, while others are happiest with companionship, routine, cuddles, and a relaxed environment. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping owners updated with communication and photos. Depending on your pet’s needs, visits can include walks, playtime, enrichment activities, feeding, medication support, potty breaks, relaxing companionship, or outings for extra stimulation and exercise. I’m especially patient with shy pets, seniors, and animals who need extra reassurance or consistency. I believe pets do best when they feel understood instead of rushed or stressed. My goal is simple: happy pets, peace of mind for owners, and care that feels personal instead of one-size-fits-all.

About: As a full-time traveler living the van-life dream, I bring a unique blend of dedication, responsibility, and individualized attention to every pet I care for. My background includes years of hands-on experience looking after family pets—especially cats of all temperaments—and running my own professional cleaning business. This means I deeply understand the level of trust, cleanliness, and respect required when managing someone else's home. I specialize in house sitting, drop-in visits, and active dog walking. To ensure your pet gets premium care while allowing me to manage my business and personal errands, I operate under clear service boundaries: STANDARD CARE: My standard house sitting rate covers normal daytime flexibility alongside dedicated overnight care. I spend the vast majority of my day providing companionship, but I maintain standard daytime flexibility to leave the home as needed, ensuring I am never away for more than 4 hours at a time. CONSTANT CARE: If your pet has severe separation anxiety or medical needs requiring intensive, around-the-clock supervision (3-hour or shorter away windows), a custom daytime premium of $25 per day/night will be added to cover the full 24 hours of dedicated care. I treat every home I enter with the highest level of care. I am exceptionally quiet, tidy, and clean. Please review my detailed breakdown below regarding my seasonal availability and typical daily routines to see how we can set up the perfect care schedule for your pet! Because I live full-time on the road, my primary focus is dedicated to the pets in my care! To keep things completely transparent, here is how I manage my availability: ARIZONA WINTER BOOKINGS: During the winter season, pet care is my 100% full-time focus with wide-open availability. I plan to be available in the Tempe/Phoenix area from December 7th, 2026- February 28th, 2027. UTAH BOOKINGS: During the rest of the year, I operate a part-time house cleaning business. I carefully structure my cleaning days so that I am never away from your pet for more than 4 hours at a time. I will always let you know in advance or during your booking request if your booking dates coincides with one of my scheduled cleanings. I'm happy to make changes if necessary to my cleaning schedule if this poses to be an issue, I just need enough time in advance to communicate and make those accomadations. SERVICE FRAMEWORK: To ensure high-quality care, individual time caps apply to drop-in services (1 to 2 hours max) and dog walks (30 minutes to 1 hour max). House sitting bookings operate within flexible arrival windows to account for traffic or weather. I treat your home and your pets with the absolute highest level of care, cleanliness, and respect. HOME SELF-SUFFICIENCY: Because my home travels with me, I am uniquely self-sufficient. For house sitting, I typically sleep in my fully-equipped van parked outside to give your pets daytime companionship while keeping your home private. If your pet requires overnight company inside, I am happy to accommodate that upon request. RESPECTING YOUR SPACE: For longer stays, I may minimally use the kitchen or bathroom as needed—always providing my own food and keeping your space entirely tidy. I am also happy to help collect mail or water plants upon request! CAT SAFETY: To ensure their absolute safety, I strictly adhere to indoor-only boundaries during my visits and always double-check doors and windows upon entering and leaving.

I currently work as needed for my caregiving job. i’m looking for any hours I’m very flexible and can pickup shifts whenever needed !! I prefer to go to the other person’s house because we have 2 dogs and a full house that bringing pets here wouldn’t mesh very well!

About: I have been sought out for my excellent pet care because of my reliability and ability to properly care for dogs and all pets. No matter the breed, size, or type I gladly accept all pets! My work schedule is very flexible, leaving me plenty of time to play with pups! Of course, weekends and evenings always work. I’d love to see how I can fit into your schedule! I never let any dogs leave my sight, mostly because I will be playing with them the whole time! If your fur baby is looking for a friend, I can happily arrange for the sweetest yellow lab to be their friend for the day. I am flexible and can accommodate to your pets needs!

About: Hi! I’m available for walks and drop-ins. I have three dogs of my own so I don’t offer boarding, but I do understand how important it is to have someone reliable and loving care for your pets. Whether it’s a quick potty break, playtime, or a peaceful walk, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. My schedule is currently very flexible! I love taking walks, doing a mental stimulation activity of some kind, and doing training sessions daily with my dogs. I’m not a professional dog trainer, but am happy to follow whatever training requests you have (with the caveat that I don’t use aversive tools). Whether that be rewarding with treats, pausing or changing directions for pulling, or practicing heeling, I’m happy to help! I tend to stay away from things like leash greetings with stranger dogs and dogs barking through fences. In terms of drop ins, I’m happy to follow whatever your routine may be! My three dogs all have very different personalities and interests so I’ve learned to be very accommodating.

Chris seemed very attentive and reliable when it came to learning everything I was asking for, and making sure my cats stayed happy & healthy! He made fast friends with two of my cats, and left good reason to believe he was treating my 3rd with the proper care and patience, when I read his updates. He takes great photos and was easy going about an additional request I had for him that made my trip out of town the bee's knees - even though it was outside the scope of normal "cat" needs.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Midvale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Midvale is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 4,405 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Midvale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Midvale. On Rover:

  • 87% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
