About: I’ve taken care of many different breeds of dogs all throughout high school. I take pride in my patience with both old and young dogs. I am a full time student at Utah State and am trying to have an extra source of income. With that being said, I am available almost everyday at anytime. I can do anything from take your pup on a walk, to taking care of them overnight. I am open to taking care of your pup by whatever rules you have set. I have had clients let their dogs sleep inside with me and others who wanted me to put them in their kennel.
“Samantha was great! Super easy to work with and flexible. We reached out with little notice and she was able to fit us in her schedule. She kept in great contact and was very responsive. Thank you again!”

About: I started working with animals in a vet clinic at the age of 16. Since then I’ve worked with a variety of animals in different clinical settings. I am currently studying to become a veterinarian and love caring for animals. I have provided care for animals of all ages and would love to provide the reassurance you need while you are away from your pet! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to check in on your kitties!! I am available on the weekends and weekdays after 12pm! I have an extra room perfectly curated for kitties!! This will keep your kitty separate and safe and in their own environment to relax while you are away!

“Izzy quickly became Lucy’s friend and took her out right on time for a nice afternoon walk! Will absolutely book her for future visits, not only for how great of a job she does but also because Lucy is looking forward to seeing her friend again! Thank you Izzy!”

About: I have dog-sat for many friends and family members, and I also worked at a boarding and daycare facility in Iowa, where I loved caring for and spending time with the dogs. I’ve also interned at two veterinary clinics, where I gained experience caring for dogs and helping with their medical needs. These experiences have taught me how to care for dogs with different personalities and needs, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog I care for. Currently, I am a pre-veterinary science student at Utah State, so my schedule will vary from semester to semester and week to week. Right now, I am available Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons/evenings for walks or drop-ins, and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for drop-ins or pet sitting. Feel free to reach out—I’ll do my best to work with your schedule and your pet’s needs! I am comfortable handling a wide range of cat and dog temperaments. Working at a boarding and daycare facility gave me experience working with dogs who are shy or timid, as well as dogs who may be reactive or aggressive around other animals, and more.
About: My earliest memories are of playing with dogs. As an adult I love my kitties and will care for any furry, scaley or feathered friends. Every day I care for my dog and 4 cats. The trip to the nearby park is a routine where I find refuge. I have flexibility with my work schedule and can make most times fit. I have a fenced yard where pets can roam free without fear of antagonism or being set loose in the neighborhood. I give each memeber of the clan daily attention and individual care.

About: I've been around animals for my whole life. I love to volunteer at humane societies, take dogs on walks, and have such a passion for animals. Being around animals brings me so much joy. I have always had a dog in my household before moving to college, and now I enjoy spending time with my roommate's cat or going to the humane society to take dogs on day trips with my roommates. I currently work a part-time job, but I have flexibility for drop-in visits and house sitting. I typically work afternoons, with the occasional morning shift, and I'm happy to coordinate my schedule to provide reliable care for your pets. I hope to provide a safe and clean environment that fits the needs of your pets. The happiness, safety, and comfort of your pet are my top priority. I know these aspects are crucial for our furry friends to have a great day and feel loved and cared for.
About: I've had a small dog since 2016 and I've been the primary caretaker of her. My best friend owns a 100 lbs dog that I have petsat multiple times throughout my life. I've taken all sizes of dogs on walks. I also have lots of experience with cats as I have lived with 3 for 2 weeks and have had friends while growing up that own cats. I have classes from 10:30-2:45 every weekday. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I have comepletely open. Outside of my classes, I am willing to spend as much time as you would like with your pet! I am unable to provide pet sitting at my house but I am able to accommodate to any services your pet may need. I understand how to take care of high energy young pets as well as low energy senior pets.
About: I've cared for pets most of my life. As a kid, we had multiple cats, and I routinely pet-sit for family members' pets, including dogs, a guinea pig, a rabbit, and small fish. I have experience with animals of all ages, from kitten/puppy to senior, as well as various personality types: shy, sassy, energetic, calm, friendly, etc. For 4 years, I was the main caretaker of our family dog, Max. This included feeding, staying on top of water intake, walking, brushing, as well as giving him his oral liquid medication for a brief time. Currently, my husband and I have 2 cats. I do 100% of the cat care; feeding, waterless baths, brushing, trimming claws, playing/enrichment, and scooping litter. I'm very used to hairballs and such, so I have no problem cleaning up messes if and when they happen. Speaking of cleaning, I'm happy to provide complimentary, minor cleaning services during bookings. This includes small tasks such as sweeping, vacuuming, mopping, and cleaning counters. I'm happy to do more thorough pet-related cleaning (ex. cleaning litter boxes, etc.) for a small fee, too. Lastly, I'm conversational in ASL, should you require that accommodation! :) I work 4-5 days a week in the evenings, so I'm primarily available in the mornings and early afternoons. If you require care outside of these hours, feel free to reach out and we'll see if it falls on days when I'm off! I'm happy to see if I can work around my schedule to ensure your pets get the care they deserve! I know what kind of sitter I would want taking care of my cats; that's the kind of sitter I strive to be. I've experienced the anxiety that can come with not only being away from your furry family members, but entrusting them with an unfamiliar sitter, so I do everything I can to put those worries at ease. I love and care for all animals I sit for as if they're my own. Their health, safety, and happiness comes before all else. I use hand sanitizer before and after every visit, and do my best to respect your home and your space every second that I'm there.
About: I have always been surrounded with animals of all types and love taking care of them. I am currently working towards being an animal behavioralist and will pay close attention to what your pet needs. I am a student and a part time worker, but my main passion is taking care of animals. I will be unavailable Tuesday and Thursday from 12-2, but otherwise will be happy to see any animals. Unfortunately, I live in an apartment with my cat who is not very friendly so I am unable to bring your pet home. I am a very attentive caretaker and will spend as much time as they need together.
“Did a fantastic job with my two girls, who are both a handful on a walk. Particularly my nine month old labrador retriever. It was a huge help to me, and I will definitely be open to book her again!”

About: My family owns a dog rescue that I have been helping out/taking internships at for years! I also spent a lot of time working for the cache valley humane society as a volunteer for canines and felines. I grew up with many different animals in the household and my passion for animals is what makes me a great caretaker! I work part time so I have lots of time to care for your pups! I always have long lunch breaks which gives allowance for extra walks/outings. I love to hike so if that is something you think your dog would like send them over to me! I have an unfenced yard and two sweet female roommates to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed and there is lots of space upstairs and downstairs for them to wander. When entering another home, I will be safe and respectful of all household wishes and concerns
About: I have lived with animals my entire life. Growing up I had a wide variety of animals. I have had experience caring for large and small dogs alike, senior dogs and cats. I have experience administering medication to many of these animals as well. I recently moved from the Midwest where I was a volunteer search and rescue member- closely working with the search dog teams and assisting as a handler as needed. I have experience working with these dogs in and out of the field. I have also trained in K-9 first aid. I work evenings M-F. My mornings and early afternoon are relatively free during the week. And I absolutely love going to visit some fur babies in the evening on my lunch break, or late at night visits after my shift. Currently, I'm fully available on the weekends for pet care as well. I can administer medications as needed. Your pet's safety and health are my number 1 priority. I can clean up after your pet as needed. Playtime, potty breaks, and snacks as well! And I will give them all the attention.

Oceana is the best!! She has been so patient and kind with my anxious pup who can be slow to trust. I always know my dog will be well taken care of when she takes her on walks. She responds quickly to messages and sends photo updates. Definitely recommend booking her!!

Izzy quickly became Lucy’s friend and took her out right on time for a nice afternoon walk! Will absolutely book her for future visits, not only for how great of a job she does but also because Lucy is looking forward to seeing her friend again! Thank you Izzy!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your River Heights. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in River Heights.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in River Heights. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
