“Absolutely amazing! All of our cats fell in love with Jenna and she did great caring for them. She went above and beyond to help us while we are gone. I will definitely be using Jenna again!”

About: I am a life long animal lover with one sweet and energetic hound and two kitties of my own. I have always had pets and am well versed in caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I love getting to know your furry friends, and have been pet sitting and dog walking since it was my side hustle in elementary school. I work odd hours and flexible days, so I am able to love on your pets when you can’t. I am available for dog walking, drop in visits, and pet sitting. Times are negotiable as I am usually able to adjust my schedule around when you may need me. My specialties are dogs, cats, and rabbits, but I am happy to learn if you have other pets in your family. I also have experience administering pet medication, including insulin shots. I work a flexible schedule with varying hours and days, which allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the week. Because my schedule is not strictly 9–5, I am often able to work around your pet’s normal routine and the times that are most convenient for you. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and dog sitting, and I am happy to discuss timing in advance to find a schedule that works well for both you and your pets. I understand that consistency is important to animals, so whenever possible, I work to keep their usual feeding, walking, medication, play, and rest routines intact. Your pets’ safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for pets in their home, I treat their space with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own home. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any house-specific guidelines. I know that leaving your pets with someone else requires a great deal of trust, so I communicate openly and pay close attention to the details you provide. I also take the time to make sure pets are comfortable with me rather than rushing interactions, especially when meeting a nervous or shy animal. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand that every animal has different needs. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care while keeping their environment as familiar and stress-free as possible.
“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!!!”
About: I've always had cats and/or dogs, and I love to walk way too many miles! Help me get rid of some energy by walking your dog! I'm available most weekends, and I can do morning and afternoon walks during the week. I love all breeds. I work from 10-5 every week day, and I normally walk or run about 5-10 miles a day. I'm available most weekends, except Sunday from 1-5(I go run with my wife at this time). I can go on late night walks, that doesn't bother me. I treat other people's property and their pets like they are my own. I've traveled the world, and I find that respecting people is the most important aspect of life.
“Despite all of my quirky notes, Sydney was able to follow my directions, and my dog was happy during our vacation. I’d rebook Sydney every time if I could, thank you.”
“Marissa was great checking in on my cat, Peter, while I was away! She sent lots of photos and thorough updates. He was comfortable with her and I felt like he was in great hands. Would definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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”
“McKenna provided excellent care for my two cats and was great about providing updates and pictures while I was away. Everything went very well and I would be happy to book her again. Highly recommend her services for pet sitting!”
About: I have loved dogs and puppies since before I could walk. I was the main caretaker of a 4 year old dog since he was a puppy before I moved to college, and now that I’ve graduated I want to be able to care for dogs again! I absolutely love the outdoors, including going on walks or hikes and parks. I'm very energetic, hard working, and punctual! I'll try to get back as soon as I can on any sitter requests. Feel free to let me know any special requests with your dog, I'm pretty flexible.
“Razan ta the best sitter I used so far. She went beyond the expectations for a drop-in. She took my dog for a walk during her visit. I really appreciate her professionalism and kind heart towards my dog and myself. I will definitely use her in the future.”
About: From Pugs to pocket bullies and kittens to Maine Coons, I'll spoil your fur baby like it's my own! Special diets? Meds? Anxiety? With over 30 years of pet care experience, I've handled it all, and there's no ask too big or too small when it comes to keeping your cat or dog comfortable. I own a pet-friendly home (yes, they're allowed on the furniture!) near the U of U where I live with my husband and two Pugs, Biscuit and LouLou. I work from home, so they'll have near-constant supervision, plus access to a doggy door and fully-fenced backyard. If your pet prefers their own abode, I'm happy to house-sit and stay the night. I take my dogs to the park or on neighborhood walks daily, and your dog is welcome to join. If a solo stroll is more their style, I have plenty of free time to accommodate their exercise needs. Whether you're looking for a little help while your at work or a longer stay, your pet will be well taken care of with Aunt Megan! I currently work from home doing freelance marketing, content strategy and copywriting. My days are super flexible and I'm happy to work around your pet's routine. I have a small, fully-fenced yard accessible by medium-sized dog door. The side yard is grass and a great potty spot. The main portion of the yard is covered with a shady pergola and a daybed your dog can lounge on. It also features a small rock waterfall that doubles as a doggy splash pad and drinking fountain. Inside, I have 2 pet-friendly sofas on the main floor, one in the family room and one in the living room. My home spans 3 levels, each able to be closed off from the rest of the house, so if your pet likes a bit more privacy, they can have ample space of their own. Upstairs has its own AC unit and 3 rooms to spread out. I can also close off the sunny main floor laundry room that leads to the basement—the laundry room has 3 big windows with wide window sills and is a great hang-out spot for cats who want to spend the day watching birds and squirrels!
“Isabella was wonderful with our cats, Venus and Zeus! She was super reliable, communicative, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. The cats were so well cared for, and we really appreciated the thoughtful updates. We would definitely book with her again!”
“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!”
About: Hi, neighbors and friends! I’m a millennial pug mom who loves dogs. I have raised pugs since I was 3 years old. I come from a family of dog breeders, adopters, fosters, and truly love pets as family. I am offering to love on your dog as much as I love my two pugs. I am available for drops ins visits in the morning time frames from 6-8:00 AM and evenings 6-8:00PM. I have open availability on the weekends and I am flexible! I also take dog clients to the dog park while you are at work or out of town. Coming soon: overnight boarding! Do you also need a ride to or from the airport? You are already planning a lot, I’m happy to provide ride services since I don’t live far! My mission is to help dogs feel safe with someone at home or your home if you need to leave town. I'm currently available to walk your dog in the mornings and evenings, as well as take them to the dog park for a play date. My dogs keep a routine so let us know if your dog also has a special routine so we can accommodate! I'm also happy to sit with them so they don't feel alone if you are out of town. I can visit your pet and make sure they are fed and have water, play with them, let them out and take them for a walk to the dog park if you like.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Salt Lake City
Razan was wonderful with our dogs. She did several drop-in visits for us and was always communicative, reliable, and thoughtful. We felt completely confident that our dogs were well cared for. We had a little hiccup with our back door lock getting stuck, and Razan handled it perfectly and kept us updated throughout. We really appreciated how dependable she was and would absolutely have her watch our dogs again!
Deena is the best! I was in a last minute pinch and super anxious about my dogs who had been cooped up inside all day while I was stuck at work. She answered my request immediately and was at my house within literal minutes! Super responsive and trustworthy and will now be my go-to :)

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
