Jenna was great! We have 5 cats she did 2 drop in visits a day for 5 days. My cats warmed up to her immediately and all of their needs were met while I was away. I have never used a service like this before and was concerned but Jenna made the whole process easy and reassured me everything was going to be ok and it was! I will definitely be booking her again for future drop in visits.

We had never used Rover before, but were told by others to schedule a meet & greet. From the moment my husband and I met Leigh, we knew she would do a great job taking care of our cat. We came home to a clean home and to a cat that was obviously well taken care of. We received daily updates through Rover as well as photos. Rover should be proud to have Leigh representing its company.

About: Hi! I’ve been a dog owner/lover through most of my life. I grew up with our family dog, Billie, who has since passed, but I’ve continued to enthusiastically offer to take care of friends’ pups in order to still get those precious cuddles in. I also previously worked for a dog walking/sitting company in Boston for several months before moving to SLC, so I'm experienced with handling multiple dogs at once on a walk if you have more than one pup. A couple of years ago, I spent several months full-time traveling, and utilized Trusted Housesitters. It was a great experience, and I got to care for many dogs and cats all over the US! Lastly, I like to stay active and go on lots of hikes or runs which I’d love to do with your pup(s) if you feel comfortable with it! I am working hybridly and taking classes part time, which means I will need to be away from your pet about 4-8 hrs each day. I'll be sure to fit in their exercise routines around my schedule of course! My care for your pet will depend upon what you request as the owner. As someone who likes to plan ahead, especially for overnight sits, I will make sure to get detailed instructions from you on how to care for your pet and hopefully meet your dog beforehand so they can be comfortable around me.

About: Growing up, I had 4 cats and 1 dog (dachshund) at home, so I’m very used to furry friends. :) I also watched my friends’ cats for them during graduate school when they went away on trips! I take care of pets like I would want my own cat, Luna, to be loved and cared for. I adore playing with, petting, and loving animals! I just graduated from my PhD program and moved to UT in June, so I am currently available all day everyday to watch your furry friends while I’m on the job market! First and foremost, I want to make sure your pet is physically and mentally safe. This means knowing what emergency vet to take them to in the case of emergency, monitoring their eating, and approaching them on their own terms. I’m happy to just be present in the home until your pet feels safe enough to greet me.

About: Growing up, I have always been surrounded by animals, whether they were reptiles or dogs. I currently have three rescued felines and they are my world. Home is wherever animals are. I work from home and am available to attend to your pets’ needs Monday through Friday. My flexible schedule ensures I can provide consistent care and attention for your pet. My apartment is surrounded by areas where I can take out your pet for a walk and for potty breaks. I also have friendly cats who don’t mind dogs.

About: currently care for my 7-year-old Springer Spaniel, Dixie, as well as my 19-year-old senior hospice cat, Stanley, so I’m very comfortable with everything from high-energy play and structured routines to attentive senior and specialized care. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including active breeds, shy pets, and pets with medication or routine needs. I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and consistency throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and check-ins during weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work with different routines and energy levels, whether your pet loves adventures or prefers a calm, cozy environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I keep a clean, calm environment and always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I’m comfortable with crating if requested, administering basic medications, and following detailed care instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I have taken care of pets for almost my whole life, from my own family pets to friends and family. I will give your pet my full undivided attention and care for their every need. I love getting out and exercising with pets, I’m not afraid of any messes, and every animal I’ve ever met has grown a bond with me. Your pet is your best friend and I will treat them as my own as well, I can’t wait to meet them! I currently am very flexible with my time and am able to dig sit on weekdays or weekends and dog walk anytime during the day. Ongoing long term schedules with your pet would be great. I love playing and exercising with animals so taking them to dog parks is an easy thing for me, I can walk them and get all that energy out, and I’ll be sure to make sure they get all their well deserved plays in!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - South Salt Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in South Salt Lake on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 4,395 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across South Salt Lake. 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 South Salt Lake 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.

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 South Salt Lake 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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in South Salt Lake with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Salt Lake. 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.

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.
