“Alexis was great! She took in Ranger in semi-last minute and was super flexible with changing our pickup time. She sent photos and responded quickly. Ranger had a great time!”
“Dominique took great care of our shy, sensitive dog Pepper over the weekend! The setup is great - and she sent us videos of Pepper playing and basking in the sun on her patio - so we knew she was in great hands. Highly recommend Dominique!”
“I had a wonderful experience with this dog sitter! My dogs were very happy in her care and were excited to go back each morning, which gave me a lot of confidence that they were being well looked after. She was reliable, communicative, and kept me updated with photos and even the routes they took on their walks. It was great to see what they were up to throughout the day. One day, one of my dogs rolled in something particularly messy, and she took the time to get her cleaned up before I picked her up. That extra level of care was really appreciated. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Schnitzel had an incredible time today hanging out with Hilary, Marcelo, and Rio! We’re so glad they were able to take him for doggy daycare and would definitely book again.”
“We were in a bit of a pickle with our 9-week-old puppy, Grizz, and couldn’t leave him alone all day. Holly was kind enough to take him on very short notice and took wonderful care of him. She’s excellent with dogs and puppies, and Grizz was happy and well-looked-after. We’re so grateful for her help and will definitely be bringing Grizz back to Holly in the future!”
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.
“Took great care of our dog, Rusty. He was totally at ease when I left him and seemed calm and happy when I picked him up. I think he feels safe and comfortable with them.”
“Tumaye was amazing!!! Our dog Yoshi had the best time hanging out with him and playing in his yard! Yoshi has some anxiety but Tumaye was good at making sure he was calm and playing with him! We would 100% have Tumaye dog sit for us again! He was such a life saver!!”
“We recently moved to Salt Lake and we don’t know anyone so we were nervous about finding a place for Moose. I work long hours and don’t like to leave him home alone. I’m so grateful we found Alyssa! She’s been very flexible and has been great with Moose. I love the pictures and texts updating me about his day. ☺️”
“santiago had a blast with divine! he loves meeting new people and dogs. as it was his first time at any doggy day care, she sent me a ton of pictures and messages, which calmed me down and assured me that he was having fun.”
“Tara was amazing!!! She was so caring for our pup, kept us updated with pictures through her stay, and was available last minute when we needed someone to watch her. We are so grateful! Will definitely be coming back!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old! I currently also have a bunny and a double doodle puppy. I have also cat sit but I am open to caring for all animals! I am currently at sophomore at the University of Utah. I have in person classes on Mondays and Wednesdays but am pretty flexible on when I can care for your pets! In my clients home, I am able to do whatever they need to make the animals comfortable. I am not offering care in my home at this time.
About: I have had a dog growing up for about 12 years and I am currently a cat owner. I have experience with both dogs and cats of all sizes. My friends whenever they go on trips always count on me to watch their cat or dog! I work as full time job currently but I am available every day after 4pm so I can absolutely help any animals then. I am completely free on Saturday and sundays I make sure my cat is given a lot of love and attention. I am checking on her water a lot and keep blinds open as she loves looking out the windows. For dogs I always ensure routine walks and potty breaks ensuring the dog takes atleast 3-4 potty breaks a day
“Thanks Kerri for taking care of Daisy again. This is only the 2nd time watching her but she ran right up to your house and seemed happy and relaxed. Thank you for all of the prompt communication as well!”
“ellen is so great! drop off was so easy and i could tell my dog was in great hands. i got great photos and she slept like a baby when we got home, i could tell they had a full day together!”
About: I have had dogs all my life, since I was 12 I have been part of the training of my dogs and their puppies. Most of the dogs I've had have been Dobermans, so education was essential. As an owner of puppies and large adult dogs, I don't have any fear or difficulty dealing with large breed dogs. I am currently a student, so I am available to work in the afternoons and some mornings, so I can adapt to different schedules. I am also available to take care of your pets to take them for a walk on weekends. I am super willing to take care of your pets, making them play different games, feed them on their schedules, teach them some commands, and walk them.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Salt Lake City is $30
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Salt Lake City
Kerri is amazing! She has cared for my dogs for over 3 years. Kerri and Beth provided excellent care for my blind elderly dog at the end of his life. Now they provide excellent care for my dog with a seizure disorder. I know he will receive his medications on time, walks, snuggles and zen naps while with them. My dog is always excited when I drop him off to spend time with them!
Holly did a wonderful job watching our girl, Izzy, while we attended the Pro Women’s Softball game in Salt Lake City. This was the very first time we had ever left Izzy with someone we didn’t know, so we were naturally a little nervous. Holly was patient and understanding with Izzy, especially when she was hesitant to leave on the group walk because she was looking for us where we had dropped her off. Holly took her on a walk with about five other dogs, and Izzy did well! It was reassuring to hear that she settled in and handled the experience so nicely. We really appreciated Holly’s communication and the care she gave Izzy. Knowing our pup was safe, exercised, and in good hands allowed us to relax and enjoy the game. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Holly to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter, and we’d be happy to have Izzy stay with her again!

Dominique was great with Taz! She was super communicative, kind, and made me feel really comfortable leaving my dog with him especially since I’m newer to the area. Taz came home happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely book with her again 😊🐾
Easily the best experience I’ve had with doggie daycare. Dom took Josie on all the adventures, sent a ton of good updates, and even helped with training tips. You can tell she has a deep love and understanding of dogs, highly recommend to anyone who loves their pup.
Nicole is our new favorite dog sitter! Her care and attention to detail blew us away. She took our Scout on adventures, maintained our preferred puppy training, helped reinforce the habits we wish to keep at home, and truly treated her like family while in her care. She communicated throughly, sent us updates, and made the whole process a breeze. We couldn’t recommend Nicole enough! 10/10 experience! We will be using her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Salt Lake City on Rover is $36.63 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Salt Lake City commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in UT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,632 sitters in Salt Lake City, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
