About: Hi, I’m Claire, a lifelong animal lover and proud Yorkie mom! I have experience house sitting and caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Whether it’s cuddling with a senior pup or taking an active dog on long walks, I treat every pet like family. When I’m not caring for animals, you’ll usually find me walking, listening to audiobooks, or training for my next race. I love staying active, which means your dog will get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and attention, whether they prefer a relaxed stroll or a jog. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable, respectful, and genuinely caring looking after your pets and home. I bring calm, consistency, and lots of love to every visit so you can feel confident while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved the entire time you’re gone. I’d love the chance to meet you and your family! I currently work remotely, Monday-Friday during normal office hours. Typically, I work for my apartment and I’m available fully after three. On an average day, I’ll run before work around 6 AM and take my dog on a long walk around three. In your home, I care for your pets the same way I care for my own, with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I stick to your pet’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any medications they may need. I like to keep things calm and comfortable for your pets, giving them lots of affection (if they want it!) and making sure they feel safe while you’re away. I also send regular updates and photos, so you always know how things are going. Respecting your space is just as important, I leave your home clean, secure, and just how you left it.
“Sierra was very communicative and did a great job with all of the instructions we left her. My cats don’t get along very well and she did a good job managing them and making sure they were separated. She also did a great job with administering medicine to my cat that needed it daily. Overall, I am very pleased with the services provided and I would absolutely hire her again!”
“Jenna was fantastic and took wonderful care of my 12-year-old diabetic cat. She knew how to provide insulin to him and sent daily updates. I was very happy and did not have to worry while I was on vacation. Thank you, Jenna!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. I understand the needs of high energy dogs as I grew up with Australian Shepherds. I can provide nice long walks and home visits for all your four legged friends both big and small. I am currently free for home visits and walks most days in the morning, afternoon, and evenings. I can feed your animals if you are away, or take them for nice afternoon walks if your at work. I respect all animals big and small and have never met a dog or cat that has not eventually warmed up to me. We all care for our animals is specific ways and I intend to respect my clients wishes.
About: Dogs have always held such a special place in my heart and I truly believe they deserve all the love, patience, and attention in the world. I have two dogs of my own at home, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with them. I absolutely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, making them feel comfortable and cared for, and of course, giving them plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and treats along the way. Your pup will always be treated like one of my own! 🐾🤍 I work part-time, but my schedule is very flexible, which makes pet care easy to fit into my week! I’m able to work around your pup’s needs and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll follow your routines and instructions closely, keep your home tidy, and make sure your pups feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
“Marissa was amazing with Lou! She did a drop-in visit and immediately made me feel at ease. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure Lou was comfortable and happy. I really appreciated the updates and knowing he was in good hands. I would 100% trust Marissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter :)”
“THE BEST experience!! Dana was amazing with out little fur babies, when she would send pictures, they looked so happy. We are definitely going to ask her to help in the future!!! You want your babies taken care of…ask her for watch your babies”
“Kyle is an amazing sitter! we are so happy with all the care and hard work he put in keeping us updated and also taking good care of our two cats. We have a cat that will not greet anybody but us, and Kyle was able to make him come out of hiding, he even got pictures of him for us!. as a first time users of both rover and a pet-sitting service, I had a lot of worries and was very anxious on how this would be, being that we were out of the country, and I can say that by the time we met Kyle for the first time, we knew our cats would be in very good hands. He took amazing care of them, and made sure to write an extended visit review each time, leaving us at ease that our pets were safe and cared for. We absolutely recommend Kyle, he is definitely the best at his job!”

“Melia took amazing care of my cat! I could tell when she met my cat that she was a natural with animals. She sent daily updates and was able to give my social cat the attention he needed while I was away”
“I'd definitely rebook and recommend Mckenna. My dogs immediately liked her. She's responsive, easy to communicate with, timely, and has a kind energy. Couldn't ask for more.”
“Paige was a fantastic sitter. She checked in on my dog and fish for feedings twice a day and made sure they were in a safe and clean environment every time. Thank you!!!”
“Emalee is the absolute best!!! ? She went and checked on our cat while we were out of town. She is a true animal lover and gives them all the love/attention they need. We appreciated the updates and pictures from every visit. We will definitely book with her again!!”

I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Elizabeth! From the moment we met, she was kind, professional, and completely tuned into the needs of my 2 dogs. Throughout the stay, I received regular photo updates and thoughtful notes that gave me total peace of mind while away on a trip. My pups were happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. I will definitely book with her again.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Salt Lake City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Salt Lake City 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.
