“Elena followed careful instructions and made both me and my pup comfortable during our first time using rover! She was very communicative and sent pictures after. Thanks Elena!”
“Kristen and Phillip helped with a couple of last-minute drop-ins for our dog and cat. Excellent experience - they were quick to communicate and sent lots of fun pics of our pets. Hope to work with them again in the future!”
“Anna was such a great sitter! I had a last minute change of plans and she was super accommodating and made sure my kitties were cared for. I would definitely recommend her.”
“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.”
About: I have grown up with pets since I was 5 years old, and have been independently caring for my own animals for the last 10 years. As a software engineer raising and training my own working-breed puppy in advanced skills like scent recognition, I am incredibly comfortable handling active, high-energy dogs. I view morning pet care as my favorite active screen break, giving your pet my complete, focused attention before I sit down at my desk for the day! I offer dedicated early morning availability from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM, Monday through Friday. This specific window allows me to give your pets focused, uninterrupted exercise, feeding, and care to kickstart their morning! I prioritize pet safety by strictly following your established home routines, securing all leashes and entryways, and treating your home with complete respect. Having raised pets my entire life, I ensure every visit is secure, attentive, and stress-free.
“Etiana was very sweet, warm, and communicative. I could tell my cat gots lots of loves from her, usually he is very shy with people but warmed up to her very easily. She sent photos on a daily basis with detailed descriptions, it was lovely to have. I would highly highly recommend her! 🥰”
About: Previous experience with dogs and cats at local shelters as well as Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Knowledgd in providing care for all types of different animals. Outside of roller derby training with the local league and volunteering with the food bank, my schedule is open and available to help with your pet care needs. I have previous experience with senior pets, special needs pets, and animals with low socializing issues; however, I am not a trained nor certified trainer.
“THE BEST experience!! Dana was amazing with out little fur babies, when she would send pictures, they looked so happy. We are definitely going to ask her to help in the future!!! You want your babies taken care of…ask her for watch your babies”
“I'd definitely rebook and recommend Mckenna. My dogs immediately liked her. She's responsive, easy to communicate with, timely, and has a kind energy. Couldn't ask for more.”
“Tess went above and beyond to make sure she had all the details she needed to give Cocoa the care while sitting for me. She provided excellent summaries of her visits. She even went the extra step to ask about specifics prior to sitting to make sure all was covered. I really appreciate her efforts and time with my cat and will definitely be asking her back.”
“Kaitlyn is fantastic! She is a great communicator and has met my puppy’s specific needs wonderfully. Totally exceeded expectations in every way.”
“Amber took great care of our cat while we were away. She was extremely responsive via messages and always arrived for visits on schedule. She also dealt with some unexpected curveballs (like our poor buddy vomiting up a hairball on the first day), for which we are very grateful. Thank you, Amber!”
“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.”
“Sydney was great and provided detailed check-ins on time with pictures which gave us peace of mind that are guys were in good hands while we were on vacation”
“Sheila took great care of my pup! She was on time gave extra cuddles and sent cute pics. When I got home I could definitely tell she wasn’t lacking for attention. Thanks so much for caring for Piper so well! Will definitely be booking with Sheila again.”
“Emalee was a perfect sitter for our cat! Our guy needs lots of love and attention and spent time cuddling and playing with him, giving him his beloved catnip and letting him roam outside. He loved her! She was attentive and thorough with feeding and cleaning up after him; went well above what I anticipated. Choose her the next time you’re looking for someone!”
“Abby was an excellent choice to drop in on our little kitten while we were away. She had great communication, left detailed updates with photos and videos, helped with a non-kitten-related request and helped give us peace of mind our first time away from the baby. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Salt Lake City
Brooklyn was great! She did everything my cat needed and really took the time to hang out at my home and let her get comfortable. My cat is very shy and usually doesn’t like new people, but she eventually warmed up to her and even came out for pets! She sent lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated, and communication was great throughout the stay. I felt completely comfortable knowing my cat was in good hands. I highly recommend her!
This was our first experience working with Sarah while we were away for ~1 week. She did an outstanding job, she was very responsive and communicated when our instructions weren’t clear. We’ve never come home to a cleaner house than this last time. We have two ragdoll cats that shed a lot, our place was immaculate when we returned home. She clearly went above and beyond. Our cats were happy and well cared for. Our packages were all in the house too. Will definitely reach out to Sarah as our first choice next time we are away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Salt Lake City on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,437 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Salt Lake City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Salt Lake City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
