“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!”
“Sarah was amazing with our family dog. She was patient and calming for him in addition to taking care of his needs. Her care was exceptional and gentle. I recommend her talent in caring for others.”
About: I, with the help of my 3 kids and husband, have fostered animals through the Humane Society of Utah several times, simply because we LOVE animals and my children have BEGGED for animals to care for! I grew up with dogs and cats. We really enjoy both dogs and cats! I had a small dog (Yorkie) for 12 years. When my dog was a puppy I took him to a dog training school where I learned how to handle him, get him to mind, sit, walk on a leash, and behave around other dogs and people. I also learned how to do his grooming/teeth care. He was my little companion for 12 years but he passed away in 2020. We have no other pets right now. I have watched friends'/family's pets several times while they were on trips. I'm comfortable administering medication to animals and taking care of senior animals, and those who need time/space to warm up to us and their new environment. For nervous animals, we take it slow and give them space. I love figuring out what makes your pet happy and doing that for them. I'm a stay-at-home mom with 3 children. I often go on a walk in the morning for a hour. Your dog would be a welcome addition! I'm available on most weekdays and weekends. If I take care of your pet, I may run errands or run my kids to activities but will return home within a few hours. I usually spend most of the day at home. Your pet will have a lot of attention and love and won’t be left alone for long stretches of time. We love to care for animals, but we love to have fun with them!! We love taking dogs on walks, playing fetch, and making obstacle courses (nothing dangerous, haha) for them in the fenced backyard. We like cuddling with pets and giving them food/water and treats. (If allowed by the owner.) We love to see animals happy, healthy, and having fun. My children are sweet, good-natured, and excited to have animals to love and care for. I teach them that sometimes animals need to take breaks and rest, like people. And other times they are ready to play and get exercise. I am always attentive to my children and the animals in our care. Dogs, if they prefer, can be in our fenced backyard during the day. My children will love to play fetch with your dog, or include your dog in imaginative play. Or if the dog prefers to be near me, I will let them follow me around the house during the day, or stay on a dog bed in our main family room. I can easily crate a dog if needed as well. At night, if the dog/cat prefers it, and we feel comfortable as well, your pet can curl up and sleep on a bed with a family member at night. I would keep fresh water, food, and a dog/cat bed out at all times. (Unless instructed otherwise by the owner on feeding.) At night, if it is a good fit for the dog, I would put the dog in our large bathroom on the main floor at night with their food/water and dog bed. They would be in there from 11 pm until 7:30 am. I would let them outside for potty breaks each morning first thing and throughout the day. Cats would be able to play and lounge around the main family room during the day. I would keep kitty litter, food, and water in our large bathroom, which they would have access to throughout the day. At night I would keep the cat in the large bathroom on their cat bed or towels.
“Jaina did an amazing job with my senior fur baby !! She is detailed, punctual and always open to suggestions. She keeps my girl on her schedule and communicates wonderfully to keep me updated !!!”
“Meisha did an amazing job caring for our cat Baxter. She is a reliable, communicative sitter. Meisha sent photos and updates at every drop-in and was easy to get a hold of if we had a question. We definitely plan to hire Meisha when we travel again in the future.”
“Whitney was amazing! She watched our bunny while we were out of town for a week, and he was so well cared for. I appreciate how thorough and caring she is, and I’ll absolutely be booking with her again. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Lyndi provided help at last minute when one of our mischievous kitten Milo escaped his room. Lyndi service was exceptional and provided the emergency call even though it was not part of her services. Thank you Lyndi! Life saver!”
“Mary was absolutely wonderful! She did such a great job taking care of our diabetic cat. I’m always so nervous leaving him but Mary made me feel comfortable with her extensive background. Highly recommend and will use again!”
“Ashlie is so great with our cats and dogs when we are out of town, and she sends prompt updates with great photos! It really helps us relax and not worry while we are gone. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Alecia has been such a life saver for helping with my 5 month old puppy since I work full time. She takes such good care of him and is great about communicating any concerns she has and giving me thorough updates throughout the visits”
“Mayne did such a fantastic job! Followed our instructions to a T, despite how overbearing they likely came across as. Showed such patience and kindness with our grumpy pup and I know they’re excited to see her again! Will definitely be booking again.”
“Madeleine was so loving to our kitty, and she was good at communicating updates/questions/concerns when they came up. I do prefer tighter scheduling communication/appointments, but she was great for the things that mattered.”
“Shannon rules! My usual sitter canceled last minute. I’m so grateful Shannon was available and flexible during a holiday weekend. My kitties are my life and I don’t trust many people with them. Shannon is a sweet and trustworthy person. Thank you so much! ?”
“Oakley was amazing! She went above and beyond doing check-ins on my cat (bringing in packages, rolling trash/recycling bins back to the house, etc.). I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“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.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Sandy is $20

Laynee did an amazing job with our 2 skittish and independent cats. She was able to connect and gain their trust after only 2 days, very unusual as they are hardly ever seen by strangers, and to see them asking for and getting tons of loves for the rest of the time was heartwarming. We have now added, ‘make sure Laynee is available for cat care’ to our list of to-do’s before any trip. Thanks again Laynee!!!
Lyndi is an excellent sitter she took excellent care of my babies while I was out of the country. She followed my instructions and was very helpful with other things like my avocado tree, and she also took the trash out on her last day, which I really appreciated. I won’t be booking with her again on my next trip. :)
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!
Jordane was very punctual, took great car of our cat. Always made sure we had daily communication and pictures and was very trustworthy with our residence. Played with our cat and took great care of here needs. I would highly recommend Jordane for sitter care.

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 Sandy 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.

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.
