“Anna has been great so far! She is very communicative, and promptly responds to any messages or concerns I’ve had. She is detail-oriented and has paid close attention to any specific instructions I’ve left. Very happy with the care my pup has received!”
About: I have been passionate about pets my whole life. I am often asked by friends and family to dog sit and take care of their pets when they are away. I treat the dogs I sit like my own and give them the care I would to my own dogs. My dogs are used to having new pet friends when I do dog sit and get along well with them. I am experienced with pets that have special needs, and I am happy to care for fur-babies of all ages and needs. You will have peace of mind that your pet is cared for and loved. I work 4 10 hours days so I will be available on the whole weekend to care for pets. I often spend time walking my dogs and playing with them at the park. They get plenty of play time in and out of the house. I will follow any directions needed to care for your pet at home. Ensuring no escapes is priority number 1! If I am pet sitting I have a big back yard and lots of parks nearby.
“Super friendly, sent cute pictures of my cat while I was away and was able to make me feel more comfortable knowing he was being well cared for while I was away.”
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.

The amount of attention affection love and overall kindness towards myself and my pups have been nothing but absolutely incredible!! She truly treats them as her own!

Follows instructions down to the last detail! Updates you frequently! Pics and all!! :)) Book her you won’t regret it!”

“Nicole was amazing! My cat loved her. Not only did she do a great job with feeding but she cleaned his litter box and played with him. She kept me updated everyday on how he was doing and was always quick to respond when I sent her a message.”
“Emalee was a perfect sitter for our cat! Our guy needs lots of love and attention and spent time cuddling and playing with him, giving him his beloved catnip and letting him roam outside. He loved her! She was attentive and thorough with feeding and cleaning up after him; went well above what I anticipated. Choose her the next time you’re looking for someone!”
“Faith does great with my senior cat, blind shih tzu, and border collie! I hate leaving them, but I don't have to worry at all with Faith checking in on them.”
About: I have been pet sitting and walking dogs for family and friends for about seven years. During that time, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, giving me experience adapting to each pet’s unique needs. Some of the dogs that I’ve regularly cared for include my Mom’s 2- year old Yorkshire Terrier, Monroe, who I watch monthly for around a week at a time, I take to vet appointments, groomer appointments, and walk almost hourly; my family friend’s 15- year old Pit Bull, Poke; another friend’s 18-year old Chihuahua, Seabastian; and my family’s 5 year old dog, Miniboss. I’ve also looked after several other dogs over the years, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, potty training and breaks, and providing companionship while their owners were away. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Caring for senior dogs like Poke and Seabastian has taught me to pay close attention to their comfort, routines, and changing needs, while spending time with younger dogs like Monroe and Mini Boss has helped me keep up with energetic play, exercise, and maintaining consistent routines. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always communicate clearly with owners and am happy to provide regular updates and photos. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience and attention, I’ll care for them as if they were a part of my own family. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet have a positive, stress-free experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate times to walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I enjoy being active, so taking dogs on walks and spending quality time with them is something I genuinely look forward to. When caring for a pet, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also make sure to provide plenty of attention, affection, and regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, including their feeding schedules, exercise needs, favorite activities, and any special instructions, so I can keep their day as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I treat both their pet and their home with respect. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, freshwater, and lots of affection while maintaining the routine they’re used to. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see how well your pet is doing while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention during walks, make sure doors and gates are secure, and keep a close eye on each pet to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable. I care for every pet as if they were my own and strive to make every visit a positive experience.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Salt Lake City
Kristen took great care of our two cats! We loved getting cute picture updates and updates on other things going on around our home (water fountain breaking, needing to close the window due to outside conditions, etc). We felt comfortable knowing they were in her hands. Both of the cats were very calm when we arrived home thanks to her care. Thank you Kristen!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Salt Lake City on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,079 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Salt Lake City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Salt Lake City. On Rover:

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.
