About: I have much experience with dogs of all different sizes and energies. I have a general love for animals and understanding of their nature. I have walked and taken care of dogs for most of my life. I grew up with 3 dogs in New York City where walking is essential to their happiness. I am a great dog walker because I have patience. Patience is the key to dealing with dogs of all sizes and behaviors. I am in south salt lake, where many dogs are walked daily, I am now fully committed to Rover and walking dogs in my free time.
About: I grew up with dogs (and cats!) but have been officially dogsitting for eight years. My specialities include: booty scratchies, ear rubs, kissies, and taking long walks. It’s important to start the day with walks (time outside for stimulation) and breakfast! I work in an office during the day, and the evenings are meant for additional walks as needed, dinner, and snuggle/down time. My favorite personal activity is reading, so the snuggles and book time tend to go hand in hand. I offer lots of love through gentle petting and snuggles. I also talk to the fur babies, however, am very aware of tone, as pets often don’t know what you’re saying, but they understand more how you’re saying it.
About: Lifetime dog owner experienced with both dog and cat care. Well versed in positive reinforcement training techniques. I’ve worked with a variety of breeds and behavioral types. I have a standard poodle who is a happy to tag along if your pet needs some play time or practice with socialization. Working from home currently with a flexible schedule. Available for walks, drop in visits most week days. Happy to work with you to try to accommodate your pets needs. Happy to care for your pet in your home if we are a good fit. Reliable and responsible. Can be reached easily if needed unless we are out of service on a previously discussed hike!
About: Providing loving, reliable care with personalized walks, attentive sitting, playtime, companionship, and safety-focused attention, ensuring every dog and puppy feels happy, comfortable, healthy, and cherished. I’m available Fridays and weekends to take care of pets at any time of the day; also free in the mornings for walks and play. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I provide trustworthy, attentive care in your home, creating a secure, familiar environment while there.
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.
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've gravitated towards dogs my entire life. I've either been playing with them outside, letting them sit on my lap or just cuddling during a movie since I was a child. I own one dog, and we spend a lot of time with my boyfriend's two dogs. My work schedule recently gave me a little bit more free time, and I'd like to use that to help other dog owners and to get to know more pups! Mondays - after 6pm Tuesdays - after 6pm Wednesdays - anytime *except for 6-9PM* Thursdays - anytime Fridays - anytime Saturday/Sundays - generally unavailable, but occasionally can help I love dogs, so please give me a chance to walk your best friend! I am capable of walking a dog as long as they need, wherever it's most beneficial for them. I can adjust my care routine for the dog based on their needs! And I am more than willing to schedule a meetup with the owner present before a service.
About: I’ve had Vizslas, Lhasa Apso’s, and currently a German Shorthaired Pointer. And dogs of all shapes and sizes love me. I understand your dog is a part of your family and needs care and attention and I’m confident I can be your most trustworthy option. I work remotely/from home so am quite flexible. I love to have a dog keep me company or just have an excuse to go for a walk. I’ll take your dog on walks twice daily, provide restroom breaks every few hours, and have plenty of quality food and treats available in my apartment.
“Kaitlyn came to our rescue, when we got stuck in Chicago, and has been so flexible and went out of her way to make sure that our cat got her medicine. — it was almost 11 PM, and she made sure to check in on her. She is definitely our go to.”
About: I have dog sat at my house and at the customers house and both work great. I also have worked with dogs who don’t like others and have been able to take them on walks. I have a 14 year old and a 2 year old golden doodle so I know how to deal with all the age ranges. I have school, but I will be able to go before or after school to take care of your dog. Weekends I am free unless i’m golfing, but I can still find a time to stop by. I will have the upmost respect towards your home and dog/dogs. I will lock doors and make sure everything and everyone is safe and sound before I leave.
“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!”
“THE BEST experience!! Dana was amazing with out little fur babies, when she would send pictures, they looked so happy. We are definitely going to ask her to help in the future!!! You want your babies taken care of…ask her for watch your babies”
“Madeleine and her sister Peyton both sat with our babies for the day. We just got a puppy 4 days prior and is afraid to be in a crate (screams & cries LOUDLY) and this really upsets our two senior dogs. I had appointments all day. Both gals are amazing! So polite, easy to converse and communicate with, intelligent, and a joy to be around. That’s the energy I want in my home and with my pets. Our babies loved them & so do I! I’ve had some questionable pet sitters in the past, and I can easily say they are the VERY BEST!!”
“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.”
“Jillian took the initiative in reaching out to coordinate access to our home, and was very timely in her visits. Her disposition is quite cat-friendly in my opinion! She provided detailed updates from each of her visits, and followed instructions for food, litter, playtimes and cuddles to a "T". So happy we had her help keeping our kitty cat company while we were out of town for the holidays :) Thanks Jillian!”
About: I have 2 active Australian shepherds that I care for. They go to the park twice a day! Both are very hyper so I always make sure to give them multiple walks as well as park time. I feed my dogs on a set schedule around 5-6pm with one large meal as well as a lighter meal in the morning. My dogs are always up to date with checkups and shots! I don’t play favorites and will divvy up play time equally. I owned multiple cats growing up as a kid as well as a Jack Russell Terrier during high school. I also have experience caring for exotic pets, such as rabbits/bunnies and have owned 2 previously. I work from home full time so I am able to care for multiple pets. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to walk my dogs multiple times per day and usually 2 long walks at the dog park. I wake up around 6am to walk them then work between 9-5pm. In between those hours I take my dogs out for a walk or two as well as entertain them on my breaks. We have plenty of dog toys available for them to entertain themselves. I allow my dogs to free roam the house because they’ve earned that privilege but crate time every now and then is also utilized. I also run a lot with my dogs, so if your dog enjoys runs I am happy to do that as well. I keep my dogs upstairs with me while I work or sometimes leave them downstairs where they nap on the couch and relax. I like to give my dogs dedicated decompression time in their crates after play time or during dinner. I have a fully fenced yard will plenty of space for your pets to roam. I will always treat your pet as if it were my own. Trust is not built in one day, but it can be lost instantly!
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Salt Lake
Razan was wonderful with our dogs. She did several drop-in visits for us and was always communicative, reliable, and thoughtful. We felt completely confident that our dogs were well cared for. We had a little hiccup with our back door lock getting stuck, and Razan handled it perfectly and kept us updated throughout. We really appreciated how dependable she was and would absolutely have her watch our dogs again!
Bridgette is absolutely amazing. We struggled for years not being able to travel worrying about who we could trust with our 2 frenchies. She was great from the beginning and I did not expect for her to turn out to be this awesome. She was on top of caring for our dogs more than I was! She was only booked for 30 minutes but stayed for a couple hours at a time playing and loving on our boys. She’s always going above and beyond. I don’t know why we didn’t do this sooner. We will most definitely be hiring her again in the future. We are so fortunate to have found her ❤️

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.

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.

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.
