About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and genuinely understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ve also bottle-fed a litter of puppies, which required constant attention, patience, and a strong sense of responsibility—something I bring to every pet I care for. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including shy or high-energy pets. I take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I prioritize clear communication and reliability, and I’m always happy to provide updates so you know your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make the experience as easy and worry-free as possible for both you and your pet. I aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I typically provide care throughout the day, including feeding, walks, playtime, and regular potty breaks every 4–8 hours (or more frequently if needed and discussed in advance). I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means extra exercise, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to a specific schedule. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Because I travel locally, I prioritize nearby bookings to ensure I’m always on time and able to give your pet the attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications (if needed), and any specific care requirements. I take the time to understand each pet’s behavior and boundaries to ensure they feel secure and stress-free. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and in order while you’re away. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and surroundings to prevent any escapes or unsafe situations. I also prioritize clear communication and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: My name’s Chris and I’m a nursing student and animal lover! I’ve had 4 cats over the course of my life with varying medical needs, from prescription diets to daily oral medication. I also love dogs and have spent lots of time around dogs, and I’d love to take care of yours :) I’m currently a student so my schedule is pretty flexible from now until January! My schedule will look different after January, but I should know more as January approaches. I can feed your furry friends, play with them, administer their medications, crate them, take them for walks, comfort them, give them treats, and anything else your friend may need while my services are needed!

About: I have had pets my entire life, both large and small breeds...dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, hamsters, lizards, and fish. I offer pet care services in Salt Lake valley and Southern Utah. I can travel for extended stay bookings. MORE About me: I grew up in Utah with a beautiful Irish Setter named Sunny. He was my BFF from childhood to teens. As an adult, I have had many pets! I adored my buddy, Cruzer, the cutest Shih Tzu ever, he was such a good friend for 12 years. I also had the coolest cat, a Maine Coone named Rio, he was with me for 17 years! Everyone loved Rio! 💗After that I adopted an older pug named Lou, and a lost trail kitty named GrizzaBella, short for GrizzaB. RIP. I miss each of them dearly❣️ I recently divorced so now it’s just me and my BFF Nala, Pomchi. She is the most lovable, cuddly pet ever. I have 15+ years professional experience pet sitting, house sitting & housekeeping. I also worked for a B&B for several years and was responsible for managing bookings, cleaning all rooms and pet care for her 3 dogs, multiple birds and Koi pond. I would love to schedule a MEET& GREET so we can see if I am the ‘perfect friend’ to care for your pet while you are away on vacation or business. I can guarantee you peace of mind, as you will know that your furry family member is being loved and and cared for in your absence. I have a very flexible schedule... reach out for more info. I have daytime availability as I am a semi-retired and also a happy homemaker with lots of free time to love and care for your furry friend(s) as well as my own. I have a fenced yard for playing ball ⚽️ with my dog, Nala. She would play fetch all day if she could! After playing it’s treat time, then cuddles, then REPEAT 🔁 😊.

About: I recently have had 4 pets. two dogs and two cats . unfortunately our cats have passed away unexpectedly. I’ve been missing the love and excitement of having many pets i’m looking to be around pets again and getting to spend time with them! HELLO!! I currently work as needed for my caregiving job. i’m looking for any hours I’m very flexible and can pickup shifts whenever needed !! I prefer to go to the other person’s house because we have 2 dogs and a full house that bringing pets here wouldn’t mesh very well!

About: I’m a dog lover since birth! Hi! I’m Angela, your pup deserves an experienced sitter (that’s me), with a safe and fun environment. I limit the number of guests so that I can spend #qualitytime with your dog. I work to quickly bond with dogs in a way that makes their stay pleasant. I’m particularly fond of shy dogs and help them to over come their fears. I’m skilled in potty, leash, recall and leave it training. I match your pup’s activity level so that they can have a vacation too! I enjoy taking dogs hiking and walking, as well as playing ball, stick and frisbee. Weather permitting we walk the river parkway, canyons or nearby parks. I work from home and have a relatively flexible schedule. Because I work from home, your pup will have a quality routine with plenty of potty breaks and play time. This also means staying on schedule with meals, meds and outdoor activities. We take regular walks and “recesses” daily. Evenings are for #brushing and #cuddles. Your pup will always have supervision. I have a small fenced yard with plenty of space to explore. Often they will experience squirrel sightings and birds. If you have read this far, at the bottom of my photo gallery you’ll find retro photos showing my natural abilities with dogs Working at home allows me the flexibility to care for your pet 24 hrs a day. We keep them in a routine that you (and your pet) prefer. As always pets needs come first-even before coffee 😌. Safety is my number one concern! Your pup will be under close supervision while in my care. When we leave the house, we always leash-up and if the door is opened, we take extra precautions prevent escape artists from escaping.

About: If I had to choose between a room full of people and a room full of animals, I’m choosing the animals. Every single time. I’ve been an animal person for as long as I can remember, and I genuinely believe that caring for someone’s pet is a huge responsibility. I have two beloved cats of my own who are my entire world, so I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your animals in someone else’s care. I don’t take that trust lightly. My cats are strictly indoor cats, and I’m extremely attentive to keeping them safe and secure. I know how important it is to follow each pet’s specific routine and boundaries—from making sure doors are never accidentally left open to keeping potential hazards out of reach. The little details matter, and when it comes to animals, I’m pretty obsessive about them. I’m the person who notices if your pet’s water bowl is getting low, double-checks the door before leaving, makes sure there isn’t a rogue hair tie or piece of string within reach, and will happily send you way too many photos because I know you want to see your fur baby. 🙂 I’m naturally very organized, attentive, and probably a little Type A when it comes to animal safety and wellbeing, which is exactly how I think it should be! I also have a huge soft spot for pit bulls. I absolutely adore their goofy, sweet, big-hearted personalities. But honestly, I love creatures of all kinds. I’m the person who will carefully escort a spider outside rather than squish it. Every animal deserves kindness, patience, and respect. During the week, I work from home in a corporate role, which gives me flexibility in my schedule and allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m reliable, communicative, and will treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would expect from someone caring for my own. Whether your pet is a social butterfly who wants to play, a couch potato who just wants company, or a little more cautious and needs someone to earn their trust, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Your pets are FAMILY. And I’d be honored to take care of yours. 💚🐾 I work from home in a corporate role Monday-Friday, so I have a flexible schedule and availability throughout the day. I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. I love having animals as part of my day, so they’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship rather than being left alone for long stretches. I’m extremely detail-oriented when it comes to animal safety and care. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and any specific instructions you leave. I’m especially mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and potential hazards, and I’ll always treat your home and your pets with the same care I would my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My two cats are strictly outdoors and not once have they ever gotten out, nor have I ever not been aware of where they are at all times.

“Afia was wonderful with Ginger today. She was incredibly thorough, patient, and took the time to work with her at Ginger’s pace, which I really appreciated. Ginger can be a high-energy dog, and it’s clear Afia understands how to handle that in a calm, positive way. I left feeling confident that Ginger was in great hands, and I’m so happy we’ve found her. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi there! I have a sweet dog named Momo who loves other dogs as well as cats. I’ve dog sat, walked, boarded, etc for the last 15 or so years. I like spending time with animals and giving them lots of attention, respect, care and love. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and runs, as well as throwing tennis balls and playing with their favorite chew toys. I am an easy going, but an active and responsible person. I love to have fun, but I also like to be safe and know when I need to lay down the law. I am easily contacted via my cell for scheduling and general check-ins on how your dog is doing. I would love to make your acquaintance and see how I can help you and your furry friend! I work from home with a 9-5, somewhat flexible schedule so I am available for all your dog needs. I usually walk my dog twice a day and can accommodate similar needs. I have a fenced in yard with a dog door for pups to run around whenever they want. I’m also a short walk to the park for some ball throwing play time! My own dog is crated when no one is home, but if your dog is house trained I do not require crating for them.

Faith is such a great dogwalker and carer for Murdoch. We appreciate the reports she sends during their walks, with photos and videos as well. She is considerate, mindful, prompt and quick to communicate. She also goes above and beyond like bringing inside mail or packages if we have any lying around -without being asked. 🎈 We also appreciate that she is so easy to work with and most of all, our dog loves her. Super bummed that she is leaving us but she is HIGHLY recommended and will surely care for your pets in the best way. We'll miss you Faith. Thank you for being there for our Murdoch.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Shalamar

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Shalamar is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $32 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 4,291 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Shalamar. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Shalamar. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Shalamar after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shalamar. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
