About: I am a lover of cats and dogs. I've watched family pets in our home and they are always welcome on the couches! I am a pet cuddler and not afraid of a little fur or dirt either. I work the usual 8-5, and can check on your pet before and after work. I am available weekends as well if needed. No task is too small when it comes to our fur babies. I have no issues with taking your dog for long walks even if the weather is bad. And yes I can clean up "messes" if needed.

“Gaby is a gem! She did SO well with our sweet senior pup, going above and beyond to give her lots of snuggles and attention, sending us frequent updates and cute photos, and taking great care of our house too.

She came for meet and greets, asked great questions, and noted down all the important details about our dog including medications etc.. We would strongly recommend her to anyone and can’t wait to have her back over to care for our dog again!”

I’ll definitely be utilizing Emily’s services again.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was 9 years old and have always loved caring for animals. I have experience house sitting for owners with dogs, as well as providing care such as midday walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m active, dependable, and passionate about making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I enjoy spending time outdoors and giving dogs the exercise, attention, and affection they need. Caring for pets fits easily into my schedule because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and staying active. I’m happy to make time for walks, playtime, and making pets feel comfortable and cared for. I know pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously. I want to provide a safe and caring environment while giving every dog the attention, exercise, and patience they need.
“Olivia did an amazing job watching our two pups for a week while we were on vacation!

I would definitely recommend Olivia for all your dog watching needs!”
“Sydney stayed the weekend again with Indie! Was super communicative and went the extra mile to stay later with Indie as our flight got in late. Indie loves when Sydney comes and stays because she gets plenty of walks the love. Thanks again Sydney! Indie misses you.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Salt Lake
Emily was a fantastic dog sitter! She is very easy to coordinate with and sent text/picture updates daily. She took my dog to the reservoir and on walks at the park in addition to spending time with him in-between. I was very content to know my pup was in good hands. I’d highly recommend her to anyone and would definitely hire her again!
Marissa is an absolutely wonderful person and a fantastic sitter. She stayed at my place for a few days when I was traveling and took care of my two large and a bit challenging dogs. She went well beyond of what I expected from a sitter. I will highly recommend Marissa to anyone in a need of a warm and VERY dependable dog sitter.
We love Karlla!! My sweet old cat was happy and comfortable while we were away. She was very calm and relaxed when we got back. Karlla also took great care of our space and made sure plants were watered and hummingbirds were fed. We would absolutely recommend her and have her back for another stay. Thanks Karlla!!!
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Razan. We found ourselves needing a house sitter and dog sitter on short notice, and what initially felt like a stressful situation turned out to be one of the best things that could have happened for our two poodles, Otto and Tula. From the moment we left, we knew they were in great hands. She gave them an incredible amount of attention, took them on walks, played with them, and genuinely cared for them as if they were her own. We especially appreciated how thoughtful she was about the summer heat, adjusting walks and activities to make sure they were safe and comfortable and protecting their paws from hot pavement. This was also their first Fourth of July, and she did a wonderful job helping them navigate the fireworks and all the excitement that comes with the holiday. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs. As a bonus, she left our home in even better condition than we left it. Everything was spotless, organized, and clearly cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would gladly trust her with our dogs and home again. Highly recommend.
Emily was very communicative and sent pictures/videos throughout the entire trip. She even went above and beyond with housesitting duties, including washing sheets. I was out of cell phone service most of the time I was gone, and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in Emily’s care! Royce clearly had a wonderful time with her and I will definitely book again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - South Salt Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Salt Lake on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,872 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Salt Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred South Salt Lake walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in South Salt Lake maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Salt Lake. On Rover:
- 94% 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.
