“We had never used Rover before, but were told by others to schedule a meet & greet. From the moment my husband and I met Leigh, we knew she would do a great job taking care of our cat. We came home to a clean home and to a cat that was obviously well taken care of. We received daily updates through Rover as well as photos. Rover should be proud to have Leigh representing its company.”

“Taylor took such amazing care of our cat who has special needs similar to an elderly pet. She went the extra mile and we'd be lucky to have her care again in the future!”


“Rachel is so so sweet! My cats took to her immediately—like literally the moment she walked in the door. She sent lots of pictures, including claws-out, chasing after toys pictures so I know they genuinely got some love & play while we were gone!! Cats were super happy when we got back :)”

“Stephanie has an excellent understanding of dog behavior and needs. She also has fantastic communication and goes the extra mile to make sure our pet/family needs are met.”

“Mara was amazing! She had last minute availability to feed our pups and was extremely thorough with her communication and pictures :) We really appreciate it and will definitely be using her again in the future to watch our two great danes!”

“Karlee was so great to work with and is just an all around delightful person! She did an awesome job caring for our pets and our home. We definitely will re-book with her in the future!”

About: I live an active lifestyle and love nothing more than a pet buddy to join walks and hikes. I had been a dog aunt for over 10 years and often am the “go to” pet sitter amongst friends and family as they know I am reliable, responsible and a true lover of pets! I’d love to meet your fur babies and give them all the love and cuddles! I work a full time job during the week which makes me mainly available on weekends for walks, visits, home stays or boarding, with the exception of a weekday afternoon walk if in a close vicinity. Note: My roommate has 2 female healers, both friendly with other dogs. Throughout the summer, they will be in and out of town, so I try to schedule boarding times for when they are gone to make things easier. On the off chance that they are in town when you’ve requested a boarding we can discuss if we feel it’s a good fit. Thank you! I believe pets need enrichment and attention to feel loved, just like us humans! I love giving pets, cuddles and making sure they get their daily exercise. When I am watching a pet for an extended period of time, they come first!
“Marissa did a fantastic job! I had her watch my two dogs and two cats, and felt as though she was fully capable of handling the chaos. She responded to my request promptly and communicated very well. She sent many pictures of my pets, so I felt safe knowing they were in good hands. I will definitely be reaching out for Marissa's services again!”

“We had such a great experience with Christina! Throughout the stay, we received regular updates, photos, and little notes that showed just how well our dog was being looked after. It was clear our dog was happy, relaxed, and getting lots of attention, and love. We especially appreciated the reliability and professionalism, everything was handled exactly as discussed, and even a few extra thoughtful touches went a long way. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for dog made all the difference. We would absolutely recommend Christina to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Etiana was very sweet, warm, and communicative. I could tell my cat gots lots of loves from her, usually he is very shy with people but warmed up to her very easily. She sent photos on a daily basis with detailed descriptions, it was lovely to have. I would highly highly recommend her! 🥰”


About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my home was filled with dogs and cats, which taught me from an early age how to read animal body language, and accommodate every type of personality. Whether you need a calm in home sitter or someone to go on endless walks with your pet, I’m your person. I’m currently a summer student athlete, so I’m available most days after 11:30 am. I love taking long walks, and see it as a way to get some mid day exercise. I currently live in an apartment downtown, but it has nice walking areas nearby. I am also very neat and organized, so don’t worry about your pets getting into anything!
“Madison was a fantastic sitter. She took excellent care of our three cats, was responsible, and communicated effectively. She even watered some plants for me, which I greatly appreciated. We would definitely work with her again.”

About: Hi, I'm Alexis! I have over 15 years in caring for all sorts of animals. I have grown up as an animal lover and have owned dogs, cats, horses, lizards, guinea pigs, rabbits and more since I was little. My grandparents had a farm. :) Experienced in administering medication, bottle feeding babies, puppies, kittens, seniors, special needs. I have a large fenced in backyard that provides a substantial amount of shade. Includes a doggy pool (removable), mister, tunnels, toys and more. Inside, pets are welcome to make themselves at home. Furniture, bed. :) I have a few different water fountains running at all times, various size dog beds and every type of toy you can imagine. Along with puzzle and scent games. I live in a great walking neighborhood, close to trails and other outdoor activities. I would love the opportunity to look after your beloved pets! I'm home full time - you can rest assured your pet will be in good hands. I adore animals and all the joy and potential chaos that comes with them! I currently have a 4 year old friendly and extremely spoiled pug who think she's part cat. I'm based at home and my schedule is flexible. Day, night I can make it. I'm free on weekends and Holidays as well. My day depends entirely on your pets needs. :) Dogs: I have a fenced backyard, with a dog for company and a secondary gate once entered for additional safety. Cats: Large glass windows, great sunbathing spots, have numerous cats beds/huts, towers, scratch posts, toys, and more. Cats can be kept entirely separate from the dogs I'm watching or potentially arrange for me to accept no other bookings during the reservation. Can also be kept separate from my pug. I have gates she can't get through. I have numerous cats beds/huts, towers, scratch posts, toys, and more.
“Andrew was incredibly communicative and truly listened to our needs for our cat. He did an excellent job with the check-in visits and kept us well updated the entire time. We felt very comfortable leaving our cat in his care and would happily book with him again.”

“Abby did a great job stopping in to take care of my cat Zara while I was gone for the month. She went above and beyond when Zara had a few hairball incidences and was very observant and let me know when my cat seemed to be over-licking one area. I loved the daily updates. Zara seemed to warm right up to Abby and most definitely appreciated her company while I was gone. Will use again.”

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 have cared for many animals over the years. I rescued my first dog while I was in high school, who we lost to cancer a few years ago. I would care for many neighbors animals while they were away/on vacation. Recently moved to a new neighborhood and had some extra free time. Looking to help out in any way that I can! I am currently in between jobs due to some family medical emergencies, so my schedule has become very flexible. Open availability, and willing to make almost any schedule work for you. Although I don’t have a lot of space in my home to bring your animals to me, happy to follow any and all instructions to maintain privacy and security to help your animals feel safe and comforted.
Salt Lake City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Claire was great with our dog Rosie and cat Luna. She sent lots of pictures of all the activities: neighborhood walks, playing in the backyard, snuggles on the couch. It is assuring to know your pets are being loved and cared for in a safe attentive environment.

Hailee did a great job with our dog. This was our dog Rosie first time with a sitter and I can tell from the picture she had lots of fun. Hailee was very prompt with the schedule and when necessary was excellent with communication. I knew Rosie and our cat Luna were having a good time and a safe time while the parents were away.

We are so grateful for Christine! My husband and I now both work full time and we needed help with caring for Mika during the day. Christin has been amazing; she's timely, responsible, and Mika thoroughly adores her. It’s reassuring to know Mika is in such great care and we would highly recommend Christine for any services needed!

Michelle is great. She is definitely a star sitter. She is very responsive and communicative, which makes booking dog walks so much easier. She met my hound dog, Sonny, and did really well with him. I have really enjoyed working with her and am hoping to keep her in our network!
Joshua was amazing, Todd has major separation anxiety whenever I leave him. Joshua came everyday and would give him his medication and spend 30-45 minutes with him to calm down. I was sent updates and pictures each day how the visit went and how Todd’s anxiety was. A+++ I will be hiring Joshua again for my pet care needs.
