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.

Sierra was very communicative and did a great job with all of the instructions we left her. My cats don’t get along very well and she did a good job managing them and making sure they were separated. She also did a great job with administering medicine to my cat that needed it daily. Overall, I am very pleased with the services provided and I would absolutely hire her again!

This was our first time using Rover and Sylvia popped up on the app for recommended people. She had glowing reviews and exceeded our expectations. She sent us photos every visit. We met beforehand and she had the calmest demeanor and we knew she would be perfect for our fur baby. We will definitely be using her again♥️

About: Hi there:) Please read information about my schedule before booking!! (About me) I’ve been taking care of neighbors and friends dogs since I was 14, I’ve also been on the app Wag as a trusted caregiver for 2+ years, but I’ve expanded to provide services on Rover as well. I’ve administered medication, taken care of dogs in heat, and have some experience in a veterinary setting. My grandpa built the Park animal hospital in Provo, so I also have a vet on speed dial if anything should happen. I love spending time with all sorts of dogs, cats and other animals and love each one like my own:) I love to run and hike on the trails in the Aves, so if your pup loves to run let me know! I am currently employed full time at University Hospital in Salt Lake as a lab technician. My schedule is very unique; I work 7 days in a row, then get 7 days off and repeat. I have my calendar adjusted so that during my work weeks, I am unavailable for boarding or sitting. This is because I work 10 hour shifts (4am-2:30pm) and most pups can't wait that long to be let out. If your pup can handle 10 hour work days, I would be HAPPY to continue these services for you, just let me know what your pup can handle:) I recently moved to the Aves in Salt Lake and currently live alone in a studio apartment. Living here has been the best environment for caring for pups. I live in between Lindsey Gardens and Memory Grove which I’ve learned is a popular fun space for people and their pups. I also love to run! And the side walks and quiet neighborhood have been the best for taking pups with me.

About: I grew up with multiple dogs, have provided paid dog care for 10 years, and currently have my own 8-year-old dog, so caring for pups has been part of my life since childhood. My mom is a professional dog trainer, and I've picked up a lot from her over the years about reading dog behavior and body language. I'm comfortable with anxious or shy dogs and know how to help them feel safe. I'm also confident giving medications when needed. I'm an active person who loves going for walks, and I like bringing dogs along when possible — so your pup won't just be sitting around, they'll get plenty of exercise and attention too. I am a full-time Master of Social Work student at the University of Utah. I am available for morning pet car every day of the week. I am available for evening pet care Mon, Tues, Fri, Sat, and Sun. I am available for midday drop ins and care Fri-Sun. Dogs get let out 1st thing in the morning, 1st thing when I return home from being out, and last thing before I go to bed. When I am home I respond to physical behaviors and vocal communication, defaulting to a potty break every few hours. Dogs get at least one physical outing a day. For both dogs and cats, I take time to be restful around the house so they can chill near me and/or cuddle and receive attention.

Sheila was so nice to my dog. She came to our place for a meet and greet before we leave so that we can meet in person and have my dog interact with her before we leave. Highly recommend her and will definitely request for her service again once we’re away!

About: Hi, neighbors and friends! I’m a millennial pug mom who loves dogs. I have raised pugs since I was 3 years old. I come from a family of dog breeders, adopters, fosters, and truly love pets as family. I am offering to love on your dog as much as I love my two pugs. I am available for drops ins visits in the morning time frames from 6-8:00 AM and evenings 6-8:00PM. I have open availability on the weekends and I am flexible! I also take dog clients to the dog park while you are at work or out of town. Coming soon: overnight boarding! Do you also need a ride to or from the airport? You are already planning a lot, I’m happy to provide ride services since I don’t live far! My mission is to help dogs feel safe with someone at home or your home if you need to leave town. I'm currently available to walk your dog in the mornings and evenings, as well as take them to the dog park for a play date. My dogs keep a routine so let us know if your dog also has a special routine so we can accommodate! I'm also happy to sit with them so they don't feel alone if you are out of town. I can visit your pet and make sure they are fed and have water, play with them, let them out and take them for a walk to the dog park if you like.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and energy levels my entire life. Having recently raised two Frenchies with medical needs, I’m fully confident administering medications. Whether your pet needs high-energy outdoor play, patient puppy guidance, or gentle senior care, I provide loving, attentive, and dependable care tailored to their exact routine. Full-Time Availability: Having recently left a 15-year corporate career to relocate from London to Salt Lake City, I have complete schedule flexibility with no 9-to-5 conflicts. Active Lifestyle: Fitness and nature are core to my daily routine, so I love keeping active dogs well-exercised on outdoor walks. Grounded & Mindful Care: I bring a peaceful, balanced, and attentive energy to house sitting, ensuring your pets feel secure, relaxed, and loved in their own home while you are away. My primary service is House Sitting, which allows your pets to remain comfortable and stress-free in their own familiar environment while you are away. Routine Consistency: I strictly follow your pet's existing schedule for feeding, outdoor walks, playtime, and potty breaks to maintain their daily comfort. Specialized & Medical Care: Having managed strict medical routines for my own pets, I administer oral or topical medications on time and with gentle patience. Home Respect & Security: I treat your home with total care, keeping living areas tidy, securing gates/doors, bringing in mail/packages, and leaving your space as clean as I found it. Clear Communication: You can expect regular photos and daily updates so you always have full peace of mind while traveling.

She is also detail-oriented, does all of the petsitting tasks well, and keeps everything clean and organized. I highly recommend her petsitting services. She also leaves the sweetest handmade thank-you notes, which is a lovely professional touch.

Throughout the stay, I received regular photo updates and thoughtful notes that gave me total peace of mind while away on a trip. My pups were happy, relaxed, and well taken care of.

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 4,343 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:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
