About: With over 35 years of experience as a dedicated dog owner, I provide trusted and compassionate care for your pets. I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds from small Shih Tzu’s to energetic Australian shepherds and many in between. I understand that each dog has unique needs. In my home, pets are treated like family and given plenty of love and attention. They’ll enjoy a fully fenced backyard for safe playtime, along with daily walks, or games of fetch tailored to their energy level and preferences. There are no children or other pets in the home, allowing for a calm, focused environment, where your dog can feel comfortable, secure, and get the attention they need. I am an elementary school teacher. I am available all summer and holidays. My holiday breaks are longer than usual due to my teaching schedule. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I recently lost my 18 year-old Shih Tzu. So there are no other dogs in the home. Your dog will receive my undivided attention. I will walk your dog daily and play fetch in the backyard. Pets in my home are treated to lots of affection. I also have no children living at home so they get a lot of attention. Snuggles on the couch are welcome!
About: You want a sitter who follows your rules, doesn't get overwhelmed, and genuinely enjoys the quirks of your pets. That’s my sweet spot. With 20 years of experience, I’ve seen it all—from high-energy dogs who need a solid hike to burn off the zoomies, to sweet seniors who just need a gentle pace and their meds on time. I’m big on routine, clear communication, and respecting your space. Your pets get a reliable companion; you get total peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and being active. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets attention, consistency, companionship, exercise, and personalized care throughout the day. I enjoy creating, fun, positive experiences for pets whether that means walks, playtime, relaxing companionship, check-ins, enrichment activities, or simply helping them stick to their normal routine while their owners are away or busy. I also love to go on hikes close by and running those really active pups. I treat every pet like an individual and make time to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. A typical day with me is calm, flexible, and tailored to your pet’s personality and energy level. Some pets want adventure, enrichment, and outdoor time, while others are happiest with companionship, routine, cuddles, and a relaxed environment. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping owners updated with communication and photos. Depending on your pet’s needs, visits can include walks, playtime, enrichment activities, feeding, medication support, potty breaks, relaxing companionship, or outings for extra stimulation and exercise. I’m especially patient with shy pets, seniors, and animals who need extra reassurance or consistency. I believe pets do best when they feel understood instead of rushed or stressed. My goal is simple: happy pets, peace of mind for owners, and care that feels personal instead of one-size-fits-all.
“Needed last minute help with potty break coverage while at work and Adam was great! Followed my super long (and likely overwhelming) instructions and my doggies were grateful for the visit!”
“Faith was absolutely amazing. As a neurotic pet parent with no supports in the area, I don’t know what I would do without her and the peace of mind I was able to have while I was away. Faith was great with communicating with me and went above and beyond during her visits. She’s also a great photographer and got some pictures that added major wellness points for me! Would 10/10 recommend!”
“Rachel was the absolute best! Our first time needing this service and she came through providing the loving care our Cooper needed. Can’t begin to thank her enough! Truly a find. We would recommend and use her again if she isn’t booked up 😀 Thank you Rachel”
About: I take a steady, attentive approach to pet care—great for dogs that thrive on routine and patience. You can expect clear communication, on-time visits, and a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I am home pretty much all day every day, so I can give your pet the attention they need. I am available nights and weekends as well I have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get exercise under supervision. Whether your pet prefers being inside or outside, they’ll have plenty of space, attention, and a secure environment throughout their stay.
“Our dog can be reactive and Shannon handled it great! He barked a little when he first met her but she was calm and won him over. She did some of his favorite activities with him and provided updates.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet and your home. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including administering oral medications and providing attentive care for pets recovering from surgery or with special routines. I'm patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet's individual needs, whether that means energetic walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I also own my own professional cleaning business, so I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to treating every client's home with the same respect and care I would my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I own my own small business, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to work pet care around my other commitments. My availability varies from day to day, but I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives the attention, exercise, potty breaks, and companionship they need. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine and needs beforehand to make sure we’re a good fit. You can also expect regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, boundaries, and needs, so I’ll carefully follow the care instructions you provide and do my best to keep their routine consistent while you’re away. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything else that seems out of the ordinary, and I’ll communicate with you promptly if I have any concerns. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m also very respectful of their space and will treat your home with the same care and consideration I would want someone to show mine.
“It's such a relief when we're out of town knowing that Kristi is going to take such good care of our pets. She's reliable and attentive, shares lots of photos, and our cats love her company.”
About: Ive had animals my entire life. Everything from dogs, cats, birds, small critters, fish and reptiles, you name it and I have probably had it at some point in my life. I started pet sitting when I was about 10. When my neighbors would go out of town, I would go over throughout the day and let their dogs out, play with them and feed them. As an adult, my friends now have me watching their pets either at their home or mine. They know their babies are in good hands and will be spoiled the way they spoil them. I'm a stay at home mom so I am ALWAYS around! I have worked since I was 16 years old so not having a job just isn't an option for me and I love animals more than most people so why not work with them full time! I'm here if you have a puppy that is still potty training or a pet that needs medicine administered every few hours ( I had a diabetic lab that required shots daily and a pointer with an enlarged heart so I know how important maintaining a medical schedule is). I have a fully fenced yard and a doggy door. I have gates up in my home for my baby but it also works with my pets if I need them out of an area of the house. My pets are allowed on the couches and the bed, we love to snuggle here!
“Lianna did a great job taking care of our kitty and was willing to make changes and extend the booking when we had a change of plans. She also helped out by watering our garden and keeping my plants from dying in the summer heat. Thanks, Lianna!”
“Lindsey was super flexible in assisting us in a last minute situation. Her communication was excellent and she gave us frequent updates regarding our dog which made us feel at ease. We would highly recommend her.”
“Afia stepped in when our first sitter went MIA after we had already left for our trip and we were so grateful!! Our pup loved her, she was incredibly communicative, and I had no worries at all. Would definitely book again.”
“Joey is great. She notified me right away when we had a concerning gas smell in the house. Her first priority was to make sure the creatures were safe and try to help turn off the gas.”
“After having trouble deciding what to do, we were blessed to find Sandi. This was our first time leaving our cat and we couldn't have found a better person to watch over her. Our cat tends to be shy and wants to stay away from people, but in the short time Sandi watched over her, our cat quickly got attached to Sandi. We loved all the pictures we got while we were away. Thank you for taking care of our little Sammy.”
“Jenny really came through for us! I had to arrange for her to come last minute as I was called out of town. She handled all my instructions perfectly, took great care of both my cat and the plants, and sent me lots of photos so I knew everything was ok. Highly recommend Jenny's services.”
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Sandy is $20

Lyndi has been a total God send for me and my boy Beans. She is professional and absolutely kind and considerate. My boy is very choosey with who he likes and he absolutely adores her! The videos and pictures from the visits are awesome. I can't wait to have her over again to watch and play with Beans on my next trip!
Sarah was very attentive, flexible and communicative. She clearly took a personal interest in our pup's well-being and went out of her way to ensure he felt loved while his fav "people" were away. I would not hesitate to entrust our pets to her care going forward.
Kelcie did an amazing job taking care of our dog and our home while we were away! She came by each day without fail, kept our pup happy and loved, and even collected our chicken eggs — which was above and beyond! We came home to a happy dog and everything exactly as we left it. She is reliable, caring, and clearly a true animal lover. We would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Amazing! Thank you so much. Lela was perfect at checking in on the doggies and giving them attention and care! We will definitely ask again on any and all future trips. Peace of mind was everything. Handled a minor paw injury and made sure food and water were always full. Astrid and Vega were very well taken care of. Thanks again!
Brittany is the best!!! She has taken care of our dogs several times when we’ve been out of town and she’s always done a wonderful job. Our dogs love her and we feel great knowing that they’re in such great hands. She is really communicative and sends detailed updates. She goes above and beyond to help us out by bringing in packages on the doorstep and opening/closing the blinds in our front room so our dogs can watch out the window in their favorite couches. We’re so grateful for Brittany!!

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Sandy 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
