“Elena took wonderful care of my dogs over the weekend. She dropped in during the times I requested and always provided cute summaries of what they did and pictures. I really appreciated that. Thank you Elena! I would definitely rebook and recommend.”
“Abby did a great job stopping in to take care of my cat Zara while I was gone for the month. She went above and beyond when Zara had a few hairball incidences and was very observant and let me know when my cat seemed to be over-licking one area. I loved the daily updates. Zara seemed to warm right up to Abby and most definitely appreciated her company while I was gone. Will use again.”

About: Although I don't currently have any pets of my own, I am very much an animal person and would love to watch your pets! I grew up with 3 dogs (a Golden Retriever when I was younger and two mutts when I was in high school) and 2 cats. I've also pet-sat for friends, family, and neighbors since I was a kid-- watching puppies, big dogs, small dogs, and cats. I've also attended a few dog training and behavior courses. I've attended various dog training and behavior courses I work from home (7 AM to 3 PM) Monday to Friday so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to pet-sitting! If overnight sitting for you, I can let your dogs out multiple times a day (and hang out with your dogs/cats) and can be more hands-on (walks/play time) after 3 PM! I am also in SLC most weekends! I love exercise and am happy to offer slow-paced or fast-paced walks with your dog(s). I would frequently dog-walk between classes in college and loved the experience! During home visits, I'm happy to work from your home and chill with your dogs/cats, let your dog out throughout the workday, walk/play with them in the afternoons, and water your plants, etc.!
“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.”
“Sarah was amazing. She helped out Cat with separation anxiety not feel so stressed when we were gone. She also helped to jump in on one last minute Drop-In when our flight was delayed. Sarah is seriously a Rock Star!”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and chickens and now have a five-year old rescue pitbull and senior cat of my own! Always having pets in the house has given me a lifetime of experience, comfortability, and ease with all types of animal personalities and quirks. I have cared for others’ pets throughout my adolescence and adult life and would love to add yours to the list of animals in my life. I’m patient, reliable, friendly, and open to all breeds. I have experience working with reactive and excitable pets. I work mostly from home and have a flexible schedule so I will have ample time to care for your pet(s) and give them the attention they need. Please let me know if you have any specific instructions for keeping your pets and house safe. I have experience with reactive dogs and administering medication and want us to be on the same page about what we need to make your preferences work

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Salt Lake City
Morgan is great! She provided drop-in visits for our dog while we were at work. We felt very happy knowing such a thoughtful, experienced person was checking in on him. Our dog loved her from the first meeting and we’d be lucky to book her for longer stays in the future!
Mara is hands down the most reliable, helpful, and genuinely caring Rover sitter we've ever had. She stepped in last minute to watch SkyeBoat and Roxy when we were in a bind, and she absolutely saved us! From the moment we connected, Mara was responsive, thoughtful, and clearly cared about making sure our pups were comfortable and well loved. She kept us updated, gave us complete peace of mind while we were away, and treated SkyeBoat and Roxy like they were her own. It's rare to find someone who is not only dependable but also so incredibly kind and attentive. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs, which says everything about the care they received. If you're looking for someone you can trust completely with your pets, Mara is the one. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Mara, for going above and beyond!
Kennedy was awesome! She was great at communicating and updating me about each visit and how they went. She was always checking in on the dog in a timely manner and made sure that he took care of business prior to leaving. I would recommend her and definitely hire her again to take care of my dog.
Anna is an absolute professional, I felt completely reassured to have my cats looked after by her for a couple days while I was out of town. She was super communicative and I was always happy to see her visit updates that always came with adorable pictures of my cats! Thanks Anna!
This was my second time using Megan's services. One of my cats is very anti-social, but she actually came out and interacted with Megan, which says a lot! Megan took great care of both of my cats, followed all of my instructions carefully, and sent photos and updates promptly throughout my trip. Knowing they were in good hands gave me peace of mind, and I never had to worry while I was away. I highly recommend Megan's services.
This was a fairly straightforward job feeding and changing litter for my "scaredy cat" cat whom I knew was probably never going to come out to play or get pets from a stranger. Nonetheless, Celine was prompt and kind in our meet-and-greet and responsive to my texts while away. She followed all instructions, and I'd definitely hire her again.
Claire was great with our dog Rosie and cat Luna. She sent lots of pictures of all the activities: neighborhood walks, playing in the backyard, snuggles on the couch. It is assuring to know your pets are being loved and cared for in a safe attentive environment.
Hailee did a great job with our dog. This was our dog Rosie first time with a sitter and I can tell from the picture she had lots of fun. Hailee was very prompt with the schedule and when necessary was excellent with communication. I knew Rosie and our cat Luna were having a good time and a safe time while the parents were away.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Salt Lake City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 4,368 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Salt Lake City. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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.
