“Zoe was amazing! Our German Shepherd is typically an anxious dog around new people but Zoe made him feel comfortable almost immediately. We felt very secure knowing that he was being well taken care of. Plus we got lots of pics and updates throughout our time away. We will definitely be having Zoe over again to watch Obi!”
“Kristen was a great sitter, sent daily updates with pics and video, communicated well before and during the stay, and left my apartment very clean. I came home to a very happy and safe pup, would highly recommend!”
“Michaela was a great sitter! She was very consistent with communication and made me feel comfortable my dog was being well cared for the whole time I was gone. Like others have mentioned, she was an extremely considerate house guest as well. This has by far been my best experience with a Rover sitter and I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Xochitl was wonderful. Very friendly and helpful and our boys love her. I would whole heartedly recommend her and I will definitely be asking her back as well.”
“Micheline did an amazing job. I was nervous about using Roger for the first time but I immediately felt so confident leaving my cats with her and she exceeded my expectations. She frequently checked in, sent me many adorable photos, was very communicative, and most important I came home to happy healthy cats. I would recommend her absolutely. She was just lovely”
“Cindy was great, taking excellent care of my pup. She sent numerous photos during the day, checked in confirming my return time, and left the house spotless, with sheets and towels cleaned and folded, and trash taken out. She respected my "house guidelines" and was responsive when contacted. Highly recommend, and would be happy to have her dog sit again!”
“Emily is fantastic. She made sure all of Kodas needs were met while watching her, including taking her for hikes and trips to the dog park! It’s always reassuring knowing Koda is having fun and getting exercise when I have to travel for work. Emily was easy to communicate with and left the house very tidy. I’ll definitely be utilizing Emily’s services again.”
“Everyone loves a sitter who is attentive, genuinely cares for animals, and provides regular updates with photos & videos, right? That was Kimmie for me. She was wonderful with my pup, Koko. Kimmie noticed that Koko had some cough symptoms and an abraded paw. She alerted me right away, sent videos, offered suggestions & insight, treated her injury, and was willing to bring her over to the vet if needed. She was in constant communication about Koko's status and sent photos regularly. That definitely gave me peace of mind while I was away. Her home is also full of toys to keep the pups entertain! I would recommend Kimmie to anyone in need of boarding.”
“This review is for an overnight stay. This is the second time Elena watched my pup overnight. I am so thankful for her updates and communication. I am at ease leaving my elderly chihuahua with Elena. Thanks again for being awesome!”
“As always, Aurora and I love Amber! She always takes such great care of her with walks, ensuring she's fed, and lots of love and treats. Will definitely use again!”

“Gaby is a gem! She did SO well with our sweet senior pup, going above and beyond to give her lots of snuggles and attention, sending us frequent updates and cute photos, and taking great care of our house too. She cares deeply about animals and we are grateful she cares for ours too! She came for meet and greets, asked great questions, and noted down all the important details about our dog including medications etc.. We would strongly recommend her to anyone and can’t wait to have her back over to care for our dog 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 pug four year old babies. I can take them for daily walks or the dog park while you are at work or vacation. I’m happy to help with puppies and senior dogs who may need to go out more often, or those with separation anxiety to feel safe with someone with them at home. Now booking for Summer 2026 book for your next vacation to care for your dog. 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.
“Sydney was awesome!!! She was so good with Indie on our initial meet and greet. Indie can be picky and grumpy when meeting new people but took to Sydney quickly. Sydney asked questions to make sure she was 100% clear on instructions for Indie and the house while she was there. I got picture updates and excellent communication before and during her time with my sweet pup. Thanks Sydney! We would love to have you watch Indie again.”
“10/10 would recommend Leslie and would book her again!!! Sends pictures throughout her whole stay and the pups seemed to love her. I felt very comfortable leaving my boys with her :)”
“Catherine was a wonderful care taker for ours pups! She was so attentive and communicative with us as well. She spoiled our fur babies and we can’t wait to have her back next time we travel.”
“Delaney takes care of our 8 year old lab who loves to play ball. Delaney is reliable, communicative, and leaves our home clean and tidy. Our dog always seems well cared for and happy upon our return.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Salt Lake City is $45

Naomi took excellent care of both our dog—a senior pup who needs daily medications—and our house. She kept Atticus happy and safe, and she kept us updated on how he was doing. Naomi was a pleasure to work with throughout the booking and sitting process, and she's top of our list next time we need help with Atticus.
Micheline did a wonderful job with our dog. She kept in touch, sent photos and took such good care of our Abby! Abby gets very nervous when we leave on a trip and sometimes has tummy issues as a result. But Micheline took such good care of her and by the time we got home she was just fine. Thank you so much! Highly recommend Micheline!
Kamryn took care of our babies without much guidance. We left her a few sticky notes with instructions and she handled the rest! Made our vacation stress-free. Our dog can be testy with strangers, but Kamryn did not need a meet and greet to be instant friends with Nakita. Thank you!
Gaby is a gem! She did SO well with our sweet senior pup, going above and beyond to give her lots of snuggles and attention, sending us frequent updates and cute photos, and taking great care of our house too. She cares deeply about animals and we are grateful she cares for ours too! She came for meet and greets, asked great questions, and noted down all the important details about our dog including medications etc.. We would strongly recommend her to anyone and can’t wait to have her back over to care for our dog again!
We can’t thank Spencer enough. Our dog sitter had a family health emergency after we were already out of state. Spencer came to the rescue and stayed with our dog and could not have been kinder, more responsible, and flexible with a last minute and chaotic situation. We would be thrilled to have her watch our dog again in the future and cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism and adaptability.
Hans is a fantastic sitter. He is highly responsive, flexible, and very attentive. He sent photos and an update on our Tonka, who struggles with separation anxiety. Hans treated him with the utmost care, played with him, fed him, waited for his dinner to settle, and took him on a nice long walk. I am impressed by his attention to detail, knowledge of best practices with dogs, communication, and we’re so glad to have found him. Thanks, Hans!
Catherine was INCREDIBLE! She took care of our needy labradoodle and high maintenance cat so well while we were out of town. She sent us daily updates and made us feel so comfortable leaving our animals babies with her. It was easy to see she loved them like her own!
Lilly did an excellent job taking care of our house and our two miniature schnauzers while we were away for over 2 weeks. She was excellent at communication, sending updates daily including photos, and always responsive immediately if I reached out. We had left her with a list of quite a few requests including plant watering and garbage can days and she was diligent in completing everything. She kept the house clean and even washed our sheets right before we returned so we didn’t have to do that when we arrived home. The pups were both happy with her attention, even giving her goodbyes when we returned. We would love to have Lilly back to help us out for any trip! Highly recommend!!
Emma was a wonderful house and pet sitter for us for an 8 day trip out of the country. She had just the right spirit to care for our 2 energetic and sometimes demanding border collie/ Aussie mixes. The 7 month old can be a real handful. She sent us pictures of 2 happy dogs every day and the house was well cared for. We heartily recommend Emma for house and pet sitting. Oh - she also managed our small flock of chickens. 🤠

FAQs for House Sitting - Salt Lake City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Salt Lake City on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,839 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Salt Lake City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Salt Lake City walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Salt Lake City maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
