“Anna was professional and communicative while coordinating drop-in visits for my two cats. She stopped by a few days before the visit to meet my boys and get in-person instructions for their care. She sent me updates and photos during her check-ins, and was open to staying for extra time on one of the days to spend more time and play with them. I appreciate Anna’s help, and would definitely use her again for a weekend trip!”
About: I have grown up and raised numerous dogs at a time. I have experience with cats, birds, rodents and fish. My current pet is a husky named Lacey who loves and gets along with everyone including other pets. I have raised yorkies, pit bulls, huskies, and dalmatians just to name a few. i love to make new animal friends and cant wait to meet your best friend =) I work seasonal jobs and have long breaks in between jobs where I enjoy spending my time outside meeting new dogs and playing with my dog. I have a small but useful fenced in backyard as well as a large dog park around the corner where we can play and run our little hearts out. I enjoy long walks and throwing the ball for your pet to fetch. A tired pet is a happy pet.
“Sarah was amazing. She helped out Cat with separation anxiety not feel so stressed when we were gone. She also helped to jump in on one last minute Drop-In when our flight was delayed. Sarah is seriously a Rock Star!”
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.
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.
“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: Hi there! I’m a vet tech with 6 years of experience. I am no longer in the field but am comfortable giving medications to cats and dogs. I’m also comfortable with all dispositions of cat and dog! Willing to work with foster animals as well. I work full time down town with a flexible schedule. I am able to do 3 short visits a day at this time and hopefully longer stays in the future! I have 3 dogs of my own, including 2 senior animals with health issues. I have done lots of house and pet sitting in the past and my #1 goal is to help pets feel less alone while their parents aren’t there. I do my best to make pets I am watching feel loved and cared for.
“Mara is hands down the most reliable, helpful, and genuinely caring Rover sitter we've ever had. She stepped in last minute to watch SkyeBoat and Roxy when we were in a bind, and she absolutely saved us! From the moment we connected, Mara was responsive, thoughtful, and clearly cared about making sure our pups were comfortable and well loved. She kept us updated, gave us complete peace of mind while we were away, and treated SkyeBoat and Roxy like they were her own. It's rare to find someone who is not only dependable but also so incredibly kind and attentive. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs, which says everything about the care they received. If you're looking for someone you can trust completely with your pets, Mara is the one. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Mara, for going above and beyond!”
About: I have dog sat any time family or friends needed someone to either drop in or stay over and watch their pups. I have had golden retrievers all my life and I love being around dogs! I’m very active in my lifestyle so I love taking pups for a stroll. I am a student at the U (missing my pups at home) and I do research at the U! I am taking summer courses, which keeps me occupied from 10-2 Monday-Friday, but other than that I build my own schedule so I am flexible. I unfortunately live in an apartment in Salt Lake, so dogs coming here probably isn’t the number one option due to the lack of yard… HOWEVER I have had many experiences with different dogs including dogs that need to be crated.
“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 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.”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and chickens and now have a five-year old rescue pitbull and senior cat of my own! Always having pets in the house has given me a lifetime of experience, comfortability, and ease with all types of animal personalities and quirks. I have cared for others’ pets throughout my adolescence and adult life and would love to add yours to the list of animals in my life. I’m patient, reliable, friendly, and open to all breeds. I have experience working with reactive and excitable pets. I work mostly from home and have a flexible schedule so I will have ample time to care for your pet(s) and give them the attention they need. Please let me know if you have any specific instructions for keeping your pets and house safe. I have experience with reactive dogs and administering medication and want us to be on the same page about what we need to make your preferences work
“Tyson was so attentive and went above and beyond for our doggies. He was always active and made us feel so comfortable leaving them with him. We got constant updates with the cutest pictures. We are so grateful to have found Tyson and our pups are too.”
“Elizabeth took great care of our cats during a drop-in visit while we were out of town. She was very communicative and helpful, and took great pictures to show us how they were doing throughout the visit! I would absolutely book her for these services in the future. Thank you Elizabeth!”
About: Since I was a kid we’ve always had pets, from hamsters to dogs, I have much experience caring for pets. Taking care of my pets and helping out with friends and neighbors for their whole lives has taught me how to care especially for puppies and senior dogs, and everything in between. I go to school and work in a research lab. I have weekends free and would love to spend that time spending time helping take care of wig someone’s animal. I have a senior dog myself that would love some company and spends most of his time in his own closed off area. I would spend much time with any animal I am watching and take them out several times as I do my own. I also can put them off in a closed off area if they needed space. As for in a clients home I can stop by several times a day on the weekends and make sure to treat their pet the way I would my own with lots of love and affection.
About: I've cared for cats and dogs for neighbors, friends, and family. I am excellent at giving them lots of love and treats and I am happy to take them for nice long walks. Currently doing part time work. I have lots of flexibility to come care for your pets throughout the day, if you need to step away. I can play with your animal, feed them, and take them for nice long walks. I am obsessed with cats and dogs and will give them all the love and pets.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Salt Lake City
Mara has been absolutely amazing with my Husky, Kita. She’s incredibly reliable, communicates clearly, and always sends photos before, during, and after each walk so I know exactly how things are going. Kita genuinely loves her and gets along with her so well. Mara even went above and beyond by cleaning up an accident Kita had one day without me asking. I’m really grateful for the level of care she gives. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog.
We’ve trusted Zahir with our pets four different times now, including a 10+ day trip to Europe and a couple of last-minute bookings that truly saved us. We have a 105-pound Bernedoodle and an indoor/outdoor cat, and knowing they’re in his care gives us complete peace of mind. Our dog is incredibly loving but also anxious, stubborn, strong-willed, and very strong. Zahir has never once made us feel like Lloyd was too much to handle. He is confident, capable, and clearly experienced with large dogs and all the surprises that can come with them. He always sends thoughtful updates and great photos, genuinely cares about our pets’ well-being, and is proactive about emergency contacts and preparation. The one time he wasn’t available, he even connected us with someone he personally recommended. That level of care says a lot. We would give him five-plus stars and will continue to use him anytime we travel. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.
Morgan is great! She provided drop-in visits for our dog while we were at work. We felt very happy knowing such a thoughtful, experienced person was checking in on him. Our dog loved her from the first meeting and we’d be lucky to book her for longer stays in the future!
Kennedy was awesome! She was great at communicating and updating me about each visit and how they went. She was always checking in on the dog in a timely manner and made sure that he took care of business prior to leaving. I would recommend her and definitely hire her again to take care of my dog.
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.
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.

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 Salt Lake City 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 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 .
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 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 Salt Lake City 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.
