About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so taking care of them has always been second nature to me. I’m comfortable with all sizes and personalities from playful puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for, just like they’re my own. I work two part-time jobs, but I still have plenty of time for pet care! I’m free most evenings, a few hours throughout the day, and I’m fully available on weekends. I’m flexible and can usually work around your pup’s routine. I take caring for pets in their own home very seriously. I’m reliable, respectful, and always make sure your space and your pet are safe. I follow your routines exactly feeding, walks, meds, and any specific instructions you have. You can trust that your pet will get gentle, attentive care and that your home will be treated with the same respect I’d give my own.
About: Leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be a stressful experience. My goal is to keep you both anxiety-free during your time apart, while providing a cozy and safe environment for your pup. I grew up with dogs all my life and have one adorable girl in my home currently. Since childhood I have also found joy in taking care of friends’ and relatives’ dogs. Pets have always been a genuine part of my family, and I’ll be sure treat your fur kids like my own while they are with me. In the summertime I can be home all day and night to keep your pet company. The occasional errand might take me away from your long-term boarding pup unless we’ve prearranged that he/she needs constant care. Dogs are free to roam my house and get lots cuddles and treats throughout the day. I would prefer that new boarding clients be either crate trained or fully housebroken/past the chewing phase of puppyhood. This will help prevent accidents and keep your dog safe at night when unsupervised! I have a very comfy 30” kennel available or you’re welcome to bring your own.
About: I am a veterinary student at Utah State looking for a side job! I have over 6 years of experience in the veterinary field working as a veterinary technician. I have over 4 years experience in pet sitting. Comfortable working with pets of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I will be a full time veterinary student in the fall. I will be available nightly and during the day for drop ins. Available on the weekends. I am a trained vet tech so I am willing to work with pets of any breed or age. Even pets that need extra attention. Trained and have experience with pets that require medication administration if needed.
“Jared took excellent care of our dog, fish, and house while we were away! He went above and beyond when the wind took some branches down and made sure our pets had a clean home and yard to enjoy while we were on vacation! Thank you Jared! 🐶🐾”
About: I've taken care of my pets since I was little and currently have a dog and foster cats for a local rescue. I love animals and want to have a career in dog cancer research; I'm already one step there with my bachelors in Biology . I also have experience with dog training and would be more than happy to work on whatever training you need while I'm taking care of your dog. I work full time, but get flexible hour for lunch. I don't have much to do during that time, so I would love to come visit your pet. Additionally, I work from home Mondays and Fridays. I ensure I'm caring for your pet at the pace they need. I understand some pets can be wary of strangers and make sure they feel comfortable with me. If your dog loves strangers, I'm great with playing and training them while I'm with them.
About: “Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Everyone who knows me knows how much I love them and how well I care for my own. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family — with patience, kindness, and genuine attention to what makes them feel safe and happy.” “Pet care fits easily into my day because it’s something I’m already doing! I start and end my day with animals — walks, feeding, playtime, and quiet time. I enjoy being around pets and giving them attention throughout the day, so adding a few more paws just makes it better.”I'm currently unemployed and so I have a lot of free time to spend with the thing I love most. I have a fence yard. When I feed my dogs their food I put extra additives to help promote their health and so they are not eating the same old thing everyday. I'm always giving fresh water to them. I just try to think if I was an animal what would I like. I want their short life to be good.
“Our experience with Eva was outstanding. She cared for our Yorkie, Copper, over four days, providing excellent care and attention to detail. Eva's communication was superb, with regular photo updates and texts that kept us fully informed throughout. She followed Copper's feeding and outdoor routines meticulously, which helped build trust between them. Within a couple of days, Copper felt at ease enough to sit with Eva on the couch, showcasing the bond they formed. Given Copper's unique personality, which demands trust on his terms, Eva's ability to win him over speaks volumes about her capabilities. We strongly recommend Eva for her services and anticipate booking her again when we go on vacation! Thank you, Eva!”
“I appreciate Pamela's flexibility when it comes to scheduling. We change plans multiple times and she worked it out so that she came to our house. We appreciate her and she is our regular sitter now. I added a puppy this year and she tends to bark at strangers but Pamela dealt with it and my pups were content while we were done all day.”
About: I owned and cared for a variety of animals since childhood. Dogs are my fave but I like them all. I have an associate degree in animal science so I am comfortable with any medical care that might be required for their care as well. I have worked with obedience training and service dogs, though I never received credentials. I am a mom of 2 with a few part time jobs so my schedule is busy but flexible. Some weeks more availability than others. I can do walks, play time, snuggle time, whatever is needed to keep them happy and comfortable. I am able to administer meds etc. as needed.
“Highly recommend Rowan to take care of your pets. Rowan helped us pet sit our playful 1 year old Torti Cat. All the pictures that we got she looked very happy. When we got back home she was in great spirits. Will def ask Rowan next time we need some help.”
About: I had multiple dogs growing up and a few cats. I went on vacation and discovered how hard and stressful it was to find a sitter for my dog that I trusted and so I wanted to offer up my services during these busy summer months so you don’t have to stress about it. I volunteered for years at the humane society and helped with dog therapy when they visited my job as a CNA at a memory care facility. I’m currently working part-time and doing school online. When I’m not at work I am mostly at home or outside doing stuff. I don’t have any pets of my own up here but have a few back home. I don’t have a backyard but I go on multiple walks a day and love to be outside.
“Debbie is the greatest! Our new dog who is scared of everything warmed right up to her! She sent us lots of pictures and made sure our girls were well taken care of.”
“this was my dogs’ first time being watched by someone outside the family, and zenia was so patient, sweet, and attentive with them. she made them feel safe and comfortable, and kept me updated the whole time. highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
About: I’ve had an abundant experience caring for dogs, tortoises, fish, etc. since I was 13 years old. It became my responsibility early on to care for and train my dogs in their puppy years and on. I also spend time walking my neighbors dogs anytime I can help them, the dogs ranging in both size and age. I’m a recent UCLA graduate who’s living out in Logan, UT for the next couple of months. I absolutely adore animals and love looking after them in any manner. I live a very active lifestyle so walking is almost a daily occurrence for me! I currently have two dogs, tortoises, and fish at home in California. I’m very accustomed to a lifestyle caring for animals. I do my best to stay organized on feedings, as well as maintain abundant exercise for the dogs.
About: There was never a time in my life where I didn't have a dog or cat in my home. I've taken care of all kinds of animals. I will love your animals like they were my own! I currently have a part time job until about 2:30 pm on week days, anytime after that I am available. I am also available anytime on the weekends. I'm also willing to work holidays for extra! I will do whatever makes you comfortable. If that's staying at your place, I will do that! If that's taking them into mine, I will do that! I have a beautiful path/walkway right by my house that animals just love! I'm happy as long as you're happy!
About: I have had my dog for 5 years and really enjoyed raising and training her. Outside my home, I have helped friends and family with house-sitting, dog walking, and check-ins/potty breaks. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is quite open! I am available for services any time on weekends and on weekdays after 2 pm. I have a fenced back yard, and a gate at the front of my house, so your pet will be entirely secure! There is a patio and grass in the back, leaving space for zoomies. Inside is an open floor plan with space to play while being supervised and safe!
About: I can make home made treats and medicine for dogs. I can perform CPR on a dog and a cat. If necessary, i know how to restain both dogs and cats. I was a veterinary technician in training so i know the basics of handling, new born puppies and kittens, older dogs and cats, or female dogs in heat. If you have a pregnant female, i know how to help in complicated births. If it's a rescued dog, I know how to be gentle and calm with them. If you recently had a dog in surgery, I will help in any way possible to make sure it doesn't feel too much pain. I can also train dogs to listen to sone commands, not a lot, but I am willing to train and teach them.
About: Combined, my husband and I have 15 years of pet care experience! We love pups, and would love to get to know your fur baby! Our house is a clean and safe environment, with a dog door to the backyard available at all times. Whether your pup loves to play OR sleep, we will accommodate them! Our two pups (male, neutered, completely vaccinated) will be more than happy to play and lounge around with your pup(s). We are so excited to meet you! During the school year, we are both gone for ~ 6 hours a day Monday-Friday. During the summer, we are available all day every day! When a pup is boarding with us, we make sure to be at home as much as possible! We have a fenced yard, dog door 24/7, and two pups who will be ecstatic to spend time with your pet. We are able to crate your pet if needed, and will play as much or as little as they like! We are dedicated to creating a safe and comfortable environment for your pet. We do have a cat that keeps to herself and is either in our bedroom or outside. She is shy, so she very rarely comes out when a new pet or person is in the house. If your pet does not get along with other dogs, we are unfortunately not a fit for your pup! We hope to be a good fit for you and are so excited to get to know your pet!

Absolutely fantastic people. I needed a last minute dogs sitter and Bree and Calvin responded within an hour of me leaving my request. Our poor dog got sick during the visit and made a mess in his kennel and they were so good to clean not only the kennel but the carpet also. 10/10
We couldn't have asked for better pet sitters! Cody and Amanda took such great care of our two dogs and our crested gecko while we were away. Both dogs get quite anxious when we are gone; it was such a relief knowing they were getting lots of love and were well cared for. We loved getting updates and pictures with each drop in visit. We'd definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and dependable pet sitters!

I can’t thank Brenna enough for her help. I had a last-minute family emergency and she stepped up immediately to care for my dog and two cats. She was incredibly reliable and professional throughout the entire stay. It’s a huge relief to find someone you can trust with multiple pets on such short notice. Everything went smoothly, and I will definitely be booking her again!
Jesi was so easy to communicate with and was so energetic! She made it so easy to work with. When you’re asking for someone to help with your furry friend you want to make sure you’re putting them into the right hands and I felt so at ease and confident when working with Jesi!

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 River 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in River Heights choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in River Heights with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
