About: I am currently training to become a registered nurse and have 6 years of clinical experience! While my caregiving experience is mostly with humans, I have a deep love for animals. My healthcare experience has trained me to be dependable, detail oriented, and calm under pressure. I also understand the importance of routine, so I will carefully follow instructions to best care for your 4 legged family member :). I am not currently working while in school so my schedule is extremely flexible for pet care! My schedule does vary slightly week to week but I am organized and will keep my availability updated. At this time, I can provide pet care through drop in visits and walks! My goal will always be to uphold your pet’s normal routine and keep them (and you!) as stress-free as possible. Feeding, walking, cleaning up accidents, watching for behavior or health changes and sending photos/updates are all part of my quality care!

Mo gave daily updates, and sent lots of photos and videos! She made sure our cats were very well cared for, especially our senior who needs meds. She went above and beyond to play and hang out with our boys, and made sure they received love while we were gone.

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 pug four year old babies. I can take them for daily walks or the dog park while you are at work or vacation. I’m happy to help with puppies and senior dogs who may need to go out more often, or those with separation anxiety to feel safe with someone with them at home. Now booking for Summer 2026 book for your next vacation to care for your dog. 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 had dogs in my family my entire life of all age ranges. My wife and I currently have a sweet 5 year old golden retriever who would love some company! I’m currently enrolled in a doctorate program at Westminster with classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My schedule is open the rest of the week! We live in a duplex-style home in the lower level with access to a beautiful fenced in yard. Plenty of space to roam in a safe, controlled environment.

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: I specialize in walking high-energy dogs that need plenty of exercise. I lead challenging hikes in the mountains, perfect for dogs who love to explore, exercise, and release stress. I have experience handling active and strong dogs, and I always adapt the route to their abilities and personalities. Every outing is safe, controlled, and designed to ensure they return home happy and relaxed. I'll upload live videos so you can see your pet being happy every day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I consider myself a very active guy, who loves taking daily walks, and it's even more enjoyable when I can share them with my four-legged best friends. I always tailor each walk to the dog's age, energy level, and physical condition to make sure they stay safe, comfortable, and happy. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise with walks that match their age, energy level, and physical condition. I always bring enough fresh water to keep them hydrated, especially during outdoor activities. On hot days, I schedule walks in the early morning or later in the evening to avoid the hottest temperatures and keep pets safe and comfortable. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I treat them like family by providing plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and a safe, loving environment.

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.

Hanelle did a great job caring for my pet bunny! I really appreciate how well she communicates - it always puts me at ease while I'm away. 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.

About: I have dog sat for several years, just usually when my friends need a hand. I have a 10 year old chihuahua/terrier mix of my own, and I walk/dog sit for my roommate with her pup when she’s out of town. Having my little guy for a decade, I know what the importance of routines, exercise, and different dogs and their needs. I have a very calm demeanor that dogs feel safe with, and I am very active so I can run and play with your pups too! I also send photos and updates since I know how hard it is to be away from your fur babies! I’m currently transitioning careers, so I have lots of flexibility! Most days I work from home or explore the mountains, and your pup can join! I am an early riser too so happy to take your pup out before the heat of the day. My dog gets along with most other pups, but my roommates dog does not, that’s why I cannot provide sitting in my own home. I take dogs on long walks and play with the them after, and if I’m staying at your house, happy to have your pup cuddle in the bed or crate if needed. I know how important sticking to routines is, especially when you are away!

About: Best Social Distancing Family= my pack + yours ❤️ I have made my own masks to wear for Meet & Greets & drop off/pick ups if you & We can have parents & furbabies come to the gate & into the backyard for safety to accommodate anyone’s comfort level. I will sanitize bowls & toys everyday as well as the house, any other recommendations parents have, please feel free to let me know, we are in this together. Hope this helps & many Blessings. I have an German Shepard (rescued from drug house) & little Lab mix I found starving & dehydrated while hiking in the summer heat of New Mexico.) I work from home and welcome the opportunity to walk, play with, and give love to your dog. I have grown up with dogs and spent many years training huskies, labs & shepherds. I understand the difficulty of juggling work & home life & would love to help care for your fur babies. I am very comfortable administering medicine, can handle big dogs & small. I love to get the dogs engaged in activities to get the "zoomies" energy out they tend to have being inside all day, but I can also provide a safe & comfortable atmosphere for our sensitive or elderly canines.

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 4,345 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
  • 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.
