“Andrew was amazing with my 2 kitties. He was very responsive and sent lots of pictures. He asked questions when needed and left my place super clean. I would definitely hire him again!”
“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”
“Zoe is the best for house sitting! She took care of Sparky so well. She stayed in communication as little or as much as we wanted. On our return home, she even offered to start the laundry for the bedding she slept on. 11/10 dogs would recommend her!!”
“Michaela was great with our pup! She was very communicative, messaging updates and pics. She also left our place super clean. Would definitely use Michaela again!”
“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!”
“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Razan. We found ourselves needing a house sitter and dog sitter on short notice, and what initially felt like a stressful situation turned out to be one of the best things that could have happened for our two poodles, Otto and Tula. From the moment we left, we knew they were in great hands. She gave them an incredible amount of attention, took them on walks, played with them, and genuinely cared for them as if they were her own. We especially appreciated how thoughtful she was about the summer heat, adjusting walks and activities to make sure they were safe and comfortable and protecting their paws from hot pavement. This was also their first Fourth of July, and she did a wonderful job helping them navigate the fireworks and all the excitement that comes with the holiday. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs. As a bonus, she left our home in even better condition than we left it. Everything was spotless, organized, and clearly cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would gladly trust her with our dogs and home again. Highly recommend.”
“Isabella was fantastic with our pups and they adored her! She really took great care of them while we were away and that gave us peace of mind to enjoy or vacation. Plus, she seemed to really understand and love our pets!”
“Amber did a great job taking care of our two large dogs and one cat, including giving them medications. She even stayed an extra night when our flight was canceled, which was such a relief. We would highly recommend her services!”
“Kimmie was so great! She stayed at our house for two weeks! My dog just loved her! She even made aramp for my dog to jump on the guest bed! Kimmie is amazing, you will love her!”
About: I love dogs! I grew up with dogs my whole life and have lots of experience taking care of and playing with them. I work around 30 hours a week (schedule varies) and I am looking to spend some of my free time with my favorite animal! I can run with dogs if yours needs some extra exercise. I will cater to your dogs need and do my best to make your day and the dogs. I live in SLO and don’t mind driving to you or taking the dog to a park or whatnot in my car. I can’t wait to get to know your pup and make their day like they make yours everyday. Please contact me if you need me to help with your dog!
“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.”
“Meredy took care of my cat and dog while I was away for a couple of days and I came home to them healthy and in great spirits! I will be using her as a sitter again, she was great and communicative throughout!”
“Betty was the help that I needed to make sure my pups were comfortable at home while I would be away. She kept me informed and was very responsive. She was simply wonderful and I didn’t have to worry about a thing.”
“This is the second time that Heather has watched Leo. She is fantastic. When I come home I notice little things that she did but was not asked of her. For example, she cleaned and filled up Leo’s water bowl that was outside. She folded up the hose that was a mess outside. Cleaned the floors. Little things like this are appreciated but not expected.”
“Maya was super quick to respond to my request for sitting & promptly made time for a meet & greet. My 2 dogs were very comfortable around her immediately. She sent some pics while I was away (3 days) & left my house neat & tidy. Would definitely have her stay with the dogs again.”
“Sierra was awesome! She took great care of my pup and took him on walks, sending me pictures, and was very easy to communicate with! She also left the cutest card EVER of my puppy!”
About: Growing up in the midwest, my family always had large dogs that we would boat, hike, and play in our large yard with. Coming from a close knit community, I’ve spent many years house and pet sitting for neighbors. After moving to Salt Lake for college, I spent 2 years in a more consistent and involved dog sitting position, where I was responsible for training, feeding, potty breaks and exercising a pup 4-5 days a week. Currently, I will occasionally house/pet sit for a mentor’s family. I would be so grateful to get to know you, your pets, and your home! I’m currently studying and working fully remote so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule! I’m happy to find a time and schedule that works with you and your pet. I commute solely by public transit and biking, so your location is a large part of whether or not I can accommodate you request. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s hands isn’t an easy thing to do. I aim to understand how you care for your pet, and mirror that to the best of my ability. When approaching a client’s home, I like to “leave no trace” as to respect the space.
“Great experience! They took really great care of my dog, sent lots of pictures and updates, and you could tell he was having such a good time. She also left everything super clean and were easy to communicate with. Would definitely book again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Salt Lake City
Sierra is the best sitter we’ve had from Rover! Our dog instantly loved Sierra and Sierra was so sweet and playful with him. He got plenty of love and attention while we were gone. Our house was cleaner than we left it. She sent the perfect amount of updates and some great photos! Highly recommend Sierra!
My experience with Morgan was absolutely 5 stars. She was so sweet to my pups. This was a long trip and my puppy needed extra attention. Morgan was able to be there for us and maintained their routine. In addition to that her dog Goldie became besties with my dogs. She was reliable, communicated well, and gave updates with the cutest photos of our dogs. I highly recommend Morgan for all of your dog and housesitting needs. You wont find a better sitter!

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 $43.17 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,817 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.

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.
