“Andrew was great!! We’ll definitely book him again. Zoe was happy and well taken care of. Snuggles and belly rubs matter the most to her and Andrew met her expectations. Nice guy too, we got along well with him on our initial meet up and communication with him was great. He always kept us updated with pics and texts. He’s very knowledgeable with pets and I felt very comfortable leaving Zoe with him. Thanks Andrew, we’ll see you 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”
“Etiana house sat with my laaaarge rescue cat and did a wonderful job! Duckie seemed well cared for and I appreciated her consistent videos. As a new pet owner her communication, empathy, and obvious love of animals went a long way to reassure me that my boy was in good hands.”
“Isabella was great!! My older dog had an injury right before I had to leave town. She did such a good job making sure he was comfortable and very well taken care of. She sent updates/pictures and kept great communication with me the whole time.”
“Dana was great with my very shy pup during the initial meet-and-greet and was very communicative! She was also amazing when my poor pup came down with a serious case of the scratchies before I left. Dana had no issues administering oral medication or swabbing the area. I also appreciated the updates she provided so I had peace of mind while away from home. My pets seemed loved and cared for in my absence and my apartment was clean as well.”
“Stephanie was so great with our dog and our house when she house sit for us for 10 days. She sent frequent updates and took our dog to the park or for walks, and when he didn’t feel like it she played with him in the yard! I would highly recommend Stephanie!!”
“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!”
“Vanessa was a great sitter! We appreciated her reaching out to schedule a meet and greet before her sit to meet our dog. She was friendly, communicative and we will definitely use 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.”
“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!”
“Five stars! Elena was absolutely amazing! I contacted her fairly last minute when my friend couldn’t watch my dog while I was out of town. She quickly organized a meet-up to make sure he was comfortable with her, and he was immediately smitten (which is saying something, because he usually hides from new people). Elena sent me many updates throughout the day with insta-worthy pictures of him. I will definitely book her again as long as I’m in St. Louis!”
“Razan was great with our pets! She has a very calm and welcoming energy and even our kids commented on how little our (very reactive) dog was phased by her meet & greet visit. Razan provided lots of updates, pics and videos. She is a wonderful sitter!”
“Mara was wonderful with my dogs. She's incredibly sweet and they immediately loved her upon our meet and greet. She sent plenty of pictures and updates and went above and beyond. Highly recommend and will be booking with her again!”
“Wow-I cannot say enough amazing things about Shana. She is attentive, loving, respectful, and one of the best dog watchers I have ever had. She was so good to my Winnie when I had aniexty about leaving her and she ALWAYS checked in. I’m so impressed with her and am planning on using her for the future!!”
“Danielle was great. Came home and I could tell Chinook had been cared for with love. I'll reach out to Danielle again when headed out of town. If you need a sitter or walk, she's the one.”
“Spencer was so great! My dog is not the easiest dog and they were understanding and made an effort to meet my dog beforehand and were great with communication through out the booking. Definitely will be booking 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.”
“Erin was so great with my dog Judy! She followed all my instructions well and was careful to wait until temperatures cooled down in the evening before taking her out for walks which I really appreciated. Would definitely book with her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Salt Lake City
Heather was responsible and consistently kept in touch with me sending me photos and updates about my dog. My dog clearly felt comfortable with her. She chose to sleep with Heather on the bed every night, which my dog will only do at this point in her life if she really feels comfortable with someone. My dog is older and needs medicine twice a day and needs to be taken outside more often but for short amounts of time. Heather was good about these things. One other thing that I want to mention is that I had to change plans several times last minute with the booking due to unexpected events in my life. Heather was flexible and patient with this as much as she could be and she was direct when something would not work well for her. It made a stressful time for me a lot better than it could have otherwise been.
Jenn was a dog parent’s dream! She was attentive to all of my dogs’ needs and quirks, and couldn’t have been more accommodating to my travel and access needs, pickup and drop off times, etc. She handled my dog with medical needs easily, and sent lots of pics of my pups looking very happy. Very psyched we found our new favorite dog sitter :)
Shana was awesome; she has dog- and house-sat for me twice! Professional, reliable, a good communicator, and most importantly, very sweet and careful with the pups. She made an impressive effort to leave everything tidy and went above beyond in her overall care of my dogs and house.
This was my first time ever hiring a house sitter, so I was definitely nervous about having someone stay in my home while I was away. But Brianna was amazing! She took care of my 5-month-old high-energy puppy and my two cats, and made it look completely effortless. She kept me updated with tons of photos and made sure my puppy stayed active and happy the entire time. I will definitely be booking with her again. I can't recommend her enough!
Christine was amazing with our Frenchies! She was super communicative which was appreciated while we were away and missing our “kids”. She sent daily photos/videos and updates of their well-being and activities. She was very active in giving the pups the exercise that they needed and never fell short of their much needed cuddles and attention. Christine followed instructions extremely well, even with a complicated meal time routine and separate needs for each dog. She also easily navigated the instructions of our home, including the doggy cam, etc. She left her home in excellent shape, looking as if no one was ever here. I would highly recommend her to anyone for excellent care of your fur baby and your home! Thanks Christine!
Max was very helpful and flexible! The animals were all in good spirits when we returned. He also did last minute extra walks for us when our travels were delayed and managed to dealt with an unpleasant “gift” from our cat! Would recommend for pet sitting needs!
Nori was fantastic! Pictures were sent everyday of all our fur babies. The house was totally clean when we returned. Fur babies miss him now that he is gone. Nori gave them so much love and care. I would recommend Nori to care for your house and your babies 110%! Nori went above and beyond!
Nathalia was absolutely amazing! Our two cats and dog were all so happy and clearly well cared for when we got home. She was incredibly communicative, responded quickly to messages, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip. It was obvious she spent plenty of quality time with them, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely trust her with our pets again and highly recommend her!
Andrew truly did an awesome job. Since this was the first time I have used Andrew, he set up a meet and greet with my pet, Suki, prior to booking the requested over-night stay. He was right on time for the meet and greet as well as the actual booking. He was very communicative throughout the booking. My house was in excellent shape when I returned and more importantly, Suki was doing fantastic. I would definitely use Andrew again!
Catherine was wonderful with our dogs! She was caring, attentive, and clearly made them feel comfortable. The dogs were very happy and relaxed when we returned, and the house was clean and tidy. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands and would happily book her again!

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 $43.29 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,809 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.
