“Lauren was great. She was very communicative, prompt and took great care of the dogs and cat. Sent lots of great photos while we were gone, which is always very appreciated. Pets and home were a well cared for when we returned. Would recommend and hire again!”
“I’ve never left my fur baby with anyone that was not my sister. Betty made me feel very comfortable and at ease watching my fur baby. I would recommend her to anyone that needs any kind of pet sitting. She exceeded our expectations watching our house and caring for our fur baby. I will book with again!!!”
“Aleya was fantastic, as always! She’s so communicative and accommodating of each of our pets’ quirks and special requests. We can’t wait to have her housesit again!”
“Overall Madison did well and my dogs loved her. She was responsive and left my house super clean. We did have some hurdles but I appreciate Madison being communicative so we could troubleshoot as best we can. To be fair I do have three dogs, including one very young timid one, one that is chill but sometimes escapes, and one that is chill but currently has an ear infection and needed medication administered daily.”
“Isabella was great!! My older dog had an injury right before I had to leave town. She did such a good job making sure he was comfortable and very well taken care of. She sent updates/pictures and kept great communication with me the whole time.”
“Alex is a life saver! She was such an amazing house-sitter for our slightly anxious dog Maggie. It was our first vacation away since we rescued her and Alex made us feel so comfortable leaving and knowing she would take care of everything. She really took the time to bond with Maggie, giving her a lot of care and attention, and we loved seeing the photo updates of her having so much fun while we were away. Alex was totally professional with the tasks of caring for Maggie and excellent with communication. You can also tell how much she cares about the job and we came home to a clean house and such a happy dog. We couldn't ask for more!”

“Olivia did an amazing job watching our two pups for a week while we were on vacation! She was always quick to check in with updates and pictures, kept the house clean, and when we got home I could tell the pups were well cared for and had a great time! I would definitely recommend Olivia for all your dog watching needs!”

About: I first got a dog when I was five years old and have cared for animals since. I love animals! Your pet(s) are in good hands. I will make sure their basic needs are met and show them love. 💗 I have a very flexible schedule with my days and nights being open, and I can come by when needed. Just let me know your schedule. I am available to watch your pet(s) in your home. Just let me know what your needs are. I can drop in or do overnights depending on location.
About: My husband, Alejandro, and I have been caring for our own dog, Nala, for the past 6 years and 7 months. We completely understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. Caring for her has given us hands-on experience with daily routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure she feels safe, comfortable, and loved. We are patient, responsible, and caring people who genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. We love working as a team to care for pets, making sure they always have company, attention, and plenty of love. We know that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and we are happy to adapt to their individual needs to help them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Our goal is to care for every dog as if they were our own, giving them a safe environment so you can have complete peace of mind. I work 100% remotely from home, which allows me to be with the dogs throughout the day. They won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll be able to give them plenty of attention, potty breaks, and companionship. My schedule is flexible and my husband also works from home most of the days, so this allows us to follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care they may need. We understand how important consistency is for pets, and we’ll do our best to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. We love in a small, clean, pet-friendly apartment in a quiet neighborhood. While we don’t have a yard, we live less than 5 minutes from Sugar House Park, where we take our own dog every day for long walks, exercise, and plenty of time to explore. Any dog staying with us will enjoy regular walks, outdoor time, and lots of attention. We believe that supervised walks and enrichment are a great way to keep dogs happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated, and we’ll make sure your pup gets the exercise and care they need while they’re with us.
About: HELLO! I have 2 cats, 2 dogs, and 3 guinea pigs, all wonderfully cared for!! My passion is animals and I am working towards a career in veterinary medicine and research! I may be young but I have worked for a dog walking/ sitting business before (in Williamsburg, VA) for around 2 years. I have had years and years of experience with my own pets and helping out with others!! I am currently away from my home in Ogden (living on campus) and I would love to continue to make an impact in animal lives! (Don’t worry my fur babies are being cared for by my lovely parents while i’m away). I will always prioritize your pets comfort and happiness and am great with flexible schedules and spontaneous events! If you need to cancel or you need an on demand pet-sitter, i’m your girl! I go home each weekend on friday and stay through Sunday morning to visit my family and my pets! When i’m home, I am mostly on-duty for my animals. I always put them first and then when they’re ready to nap I can do schoolwork! I have no problem getting down and dirty with cleaning up messes as cleaning is another thing i enjoy! While i’m here, pet care fits in for me in between my classes and in the evenings! I’m pretty flexible with my schedule! I will provide walks, play time, feeding, treats, and clean up!! My favorite thing is a happy animal, so I will work hard to ensure this happens!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Salt Lake
So great! I had not used Rover before so I was a bit nervous leaving my dog with a stranger but Lauren is very understanding and kind. Her place has a big yard for dogs to enjoy as well. She let me come by for a meet and greet beforehand, which was great to help my dog get acquainted before his stay.
Danielle was wonderful! This was our first time using rover and we are glad to have booked with her while we were away. She was prompt, communicative, flexible when we needed to adjust plans, very respectful of our home, and took good care of our pup. Happy to book again! Thank you Danielle. 😊
I debated about leaving Harper a rating for the sole reason that if word got out about how awesome she is I might have a hard time booking her in the future. I have a 15 year old dog that is extremely attached to me and suffers from separation anxiety. I had an opportunity of a lifetime to visit several countries in Europe, but hesitated because of my fear that something might happen while I was gone. We did several trial runs and by the time I left I knew that I was going to have a great time knowing that Chloe would too. Harper is very caring and attentive and provided numerous pictures and updates per day. She comes highly recommended. If I can trust my Chloe with her rest assured you can too!!!
Haley went above and beyond while taking care of our elderly dog. She was able to stay with our dog 24 hours a day and followed all of the instructions perfectly. We had many concerns about leaving our dog while we were on vacation and Haley was able to make us feel like our dog was being cared for with love. What an amazing find! Will definitely hire her again.
Kirsten was great and provided updates throughout the week. I could tell that Julian was well cared for and receiving a lot of love/attention. She also went above and beyond by collecting my mail/packages and even washing the sheets before she left. Very thankful for Kirsten!!
This is the only pet-sitter you need. Stop and book her. Absolute gem. I needed a fly out of town overnight and Micheline was there on pretty short notice. She came for a meet and greet, asked all the questions. She took care of my pup, took him on several walks, sent me a ton of updates and pictures. So grateful. If you need someone, Micheline is a rock star.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
