“Alexis is the best!! She’s the sweetest and takes amazing care of Stella. She sends updates and my pup comes home tuckered every time they hang out, she’s also a delight to talk to every time I see her. We will be requesting her services again :)”
“Kate helped me out last minute with a new rescue dog with separation anxiety. She is super responsive and sent pics and updates during the day. I'm so thankful she was able to help on short notice and was understanding about my dogs needs. Highly recommend.”
“Alyssa is awesome. She’s super friendly, communicative and trustworthy. She was sending us pictures throughout the day. It was our first time separated from our dog for so long and it went very smoothly! Sugi is going back in two days :-)”
“This family has been amazing to my 3 month old puppy, Merle. They have been understanding and flexible with my crazy work schedule. They provide exceptional care to Merle as she can be a handful with a very energetic personality and always looking for trouble. Merle’s tail is wagging everytime I drop her off and she is a sweet tired puppy when she comes home at the end of the day. I highly recommend this family, coming from a first time doggie mama who tends to be a worry wart.”
“ellen is so great! drop off was so easy and i could tell my dog was in great hands. i got great photos and she slept like a baby when we got home, i could tell they had a full day together!”
“Our dog Ira loved spending the day at Hillary’s house. When I dropped of Ira, I could tell the she was attentive to his needs and her dog interacted well with him (even though he is much smaller). I will certainly use Hillary again for dog sitting!”
“Jean was so kind to let us book a last-minute daycare appointment, which we greatly appreciated. She took great care of our Jojo-doggy. She has a great setup for taking care of fur babies, which she seems to enjoy doing. We highly recommend her!”
“Hannah was so kind and interactive with Joni. We came to SLC for a week from Montana and needed care for our new puppy. She was flexible, available, and trustworthy. I highly recommend her services, and if we ever return to SLC would see if she is available to watch our animals again.”
About: Hey there! I am the mom of a 2 year old Silver Lab (Maddux) and 3 year old Dutch Shepherd (Hooch). Both my babies get along with other dogs great. I’ve grown up with multiple dogs so I’ve taken care of and been around dogs my entire life. I am surrounded by a wide variety of dog breeds on a daily basis because I work in an environment where I’m able to bring dogs to work. I am open to watching any breed or sized dog. I understand the concern of leaving your fur baby with someone you don’t know and would love to help. I am an active, loving, responsible individual who just really wants to watch your dog if you’ll let me :)
About: Can't wait to meet you and your special animal! I would love to take care of your fur baby while you're away. I've watched my friends animals and rover sittings for years. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex in Sugarhouse where we have lots of areas for walks and outdoor fun. Trusting someone with your pet or in your home is never easy, but I would absolutely treat them as my own pets and keep them happy and safe. My work schedule is 4 days on, 3 days off so my availability will only be my days off when I can take care of your pet full time. Animals in my house or care are treated with utmost love. I have the time and availability now for round the clock care so happy to host them at my house or spend time at yours.
“Very professional and friendly, gave me great updates. The backyard area is gorgeous and looks like a lot of fun for dogs to play in. Dominique even sent me home with a new little chew for my little Louie. I'll definitely be bringing him back.”
“We were in a bit of a pickle with our 9-week-old puppy, Grizz, and couldn’t leave him alone all day. Holly was kind enough to take him on very short notice and took wonderful care of him. She’s excellent with dogs and puppies, and Grizz was happy and well-looked-after. We’re so grateful for her help and will definitely be bringing Grizz back to Holly in the future!”
“Stacey is such a great sitter! She is happy to follow care instructions, she's flexible and a good communicator, but most importantly she provides a safe and happy environment for the dogs in her care. Stacey is the only one I trust my puppy with when I'm out of town. She is 100% worth it for her professionalism and quality of care.”
“Madeline and Jacob were amazing! They were so attentive and Jack had the best time! They took him on a walk and sent lots of pictures. He came home happy as can be and thoroughly tired.”
“Roscoe loved his day with Rebecca and Ian but mostly Lui. Rebecca and Ian provided regular updates and photos and they will flexible with my schedule for pickup and drop off. We will be scheduling additional day care dates!”
“Michelle and her husband were absolutely wonderful with Jack! Michelle was super responsive, listened attentively to an overly anxious dog Momma, and sent tons of pictures. Jack is Diabetic and a little quirky so I’m always anxious to leave him with a new person but we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Their home was very clean and she even took the extra time to pick up anything that Jack could have gotten ahold of and put it out of his reach. We would absolutely recommend Michelle and use her again if we are back in the area.”
“I had a wonderful experience with this dog sitter! My dogs were very happy in her care and were excited to go back each morning, which gave me a lot of confidence that they were being well looked after. She was reliable, communicative, and kept me updated with photos and even the routes they took on their walks. It was great to see what they were up to throughout the day. One day, one of my dogs rolled in something particularly messy, and she took the time to get her cleaned up before I picked her up. That extra level of care was really appreciated. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

Dominique was great with Taz! She was super communicative, kind, and made me feel really comfortable leaving my dog with him especially since I’m newer to the area. Taz came home happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely book with her again 😊🐾
Easily the best experience I’ve had with doggie daycare. Dom took Josie on all the adventures, sent a ton of good updates, and even helped with training tips. You can tell she has a deep love and understanding of dogs, highly recommend to anyone who loves their pup.
Nicole is our new favorite dog sitter! Her care and attention to detail blew us away. She took our Scout on adventures, maintained our preferred puppy training, helped reinforce the habits we wish to keep at home, and truly treated her like family while in her care. She communicated throughly, sent us updates, and made the whole process a breeze. We couldn’t recommend Nicole enough! 10/10 experience! We will be using her again!
Jeff and Heidi were great! They agreed to watch Jack last minute and were very flexible about our pick up and drop off times. they sent me a picture and an update every day and I could tell Jack enjoyed being there. They were comfortable with Jack's special needs and mobility issues. Very responsible and kind. I highly recommend them
Madelaine was wonderful with our 6-month-old miniature dachshund. Even though it was just a day stay, it was immediately clear when I picked her up that she’d had a great day. Our puppy was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Madelaine was kind, attentive, and made us feel completely at ease leaving our pup in her care. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.
Hannah was so kind and interactive with Joni. We came to SLC for a week from Montana and needed care for our new puppy. She was flexible, available, and trustworthy. I highly recommend her services, and if we ever return to SLC would see if she is available to watch our animals again.
We did daycare with Thomas and he was very communicative, met us and our pup ahead of time (we have an anxious girl but she felt safe with Thomas) and he kept us updated throughout the day. Our girl was sleepy at the end of the night so we’re very happy and we know she had a great time. Thanks, Thomas!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - South Salt Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in South Salt Lake on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your South Salt Lake commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in UT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,646 sitters in South Salt Lake, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
