“Danielle was great. Came home and I could tell Chinook had been cared for with love. I'll reach out to Danielle again when headed out of town. If you need a sitter or walk, she's the one.”
“Michelle was an absolute DREAM to have watch Chester. The updates she would give were so descriptive and playful. She really went the extra mile to make sure our dog had the best experience possible and that we were not stressed at all about leaving him in her hands. She was incredibly kind and considerate to all our needs and was very communicative. We would absolutely book her again and look forward to doing so!”
“Brad has watched my pups a few different times and he’s great. He’s incredibly detailed and took great care of my pups and home. If you’re looking for an excellent dog sitter, look no further.”
“The selfish part of me doesn't want to leave a review so that I can keep Betty to myself, but the selfless side of me knows I need to recognize and praise her for the amazing job she did taking care of my pups and house. She took great care of everything, and the detailed daily updates with gorgeous photos and videos had me looking forward to the close of every day. I want to keep Betty for myself, but I know I need to share.”
“Isabella is absolutely the best! My pups absolutely love her. It’s so wonderful to have her stay at our house where the dogs can stay in their own space and be comfortable. So glad to have found her!”
“Annie is magic. She accomplished in 2 hours what we couldn’t do in 6 months. We came home to a cohesive pack of happy dogs and can take separation gates down. Never will we ever use anyone else.”
“Christina took great care of our dog, left the house clean, and communicated with us while we were gone. She was amazing and I’d definitely recommend her!!!”
“Stephanie was amazing with our energetic pups! She was very communicative and sent lots of videos and pictures :) will definitely have her sit for us 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.”
“Emily is fantastic. She made sure all of Kodas needs were met while watching her, including taking her for hikes and trips to the dog park! It’s always reassuring knowing Koda is having fun and getting exercise when I have to travel for work. Emily was easy to communicate with and left the house very tidy. I’ll definitely be utilizing Emily’s services again.”
“Elena is amazing ! She sends a lot of photo and message updates and made us feel safe, and that the dogs were extremely cared for. We also really appreciate that she watered our veggies and took out the trash. We 1000% would love to hire her again!”
“Vanessa was a great sitter! We appreciated her reaching out to schedule a meet and greet before her sit to meet our dog. She was friendly, communicative and we will definitely use her again!”
“Zoe is the best for house sitting! She took care of Sparky so well. She stayed in communication as little or as much as we wanted. On our return home, she even offered to start the laundry for the bedding she slept on. 11/10 dogs would recommend her!!”
“Mara was wonderful with my dogs. She's incredibly sweet and they immediately loved her upon our meet and greet. She sent plenty of pictures and updates and went above and beyond. Highly recommend and will be booking with her again!”
“I’ve used tawny 3 times now and as usual he did a great job. I know my pups and my home were in good hands and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality pet care.”
“Sierra was awesome! She took great care of my pup and took him on walks, sending me pictures, and was very easy to communicate with! She also left the cutest card EVER of my puppy!”
“Fantastic human, great house/catsitter. My cats instinctively took to her during the meeting and greet… Which is always reassuring 😻 I was gone for two weeks, and came home to a clean house and well taken care of cats. Macy was very responsive to my requests of daily updates on the little monsters, even when I did not have service… something that really helped me let go of my pet responsibilities and enjoy my trip 👌🏽 Would definitely hire again”
About: I love animals and have always been the go-to for friends and family when pet sitting. I had a senior cat that required daily injections and medications for many years, so I’m happy to work with senior pets who may need medications and other special TLC. I don’t have space for a dog of my own right now, so helping out with others’ makes me so happy! I work full time for a gardening organization, but my days and work hours are flexible so it’s easy to fit your pet and their needs into my day. I mostly work outside, and my office is pet friendly, so if your pup doesn’t like to be left alone, I can always bring them with! I have a fenced backyard and am happy to have your dog in my space. I prefer to sit dogs at their houses so they’re in spaces they know and aren’t stressed in, but am always happy to bring pups to my house or with me on my day.
The median cost per night for house sitting in South Salt Lake is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Salt Lake
Zoe stayed at our house and took fabulous care of Finn while we were on an Alaskan cruise. She sent pictures and updates of Finn daily. He always looked happy & well taken care of. It was great to have her watch him. He’s a big cuddle bug & loved to cuddle with Zoe. Our house was just as clean as it was when we left it. Zoe even offered to wash sheets & towels before we got home. Will definitely book Zoe again next time we go on vacation.
Seriously the best rover person we have used thus far. I usually want more updates/pictures from the sitter than I receive but Razan was amazing about keeping us up to date on how things were going and I was really reassured knowing how much attention the animals were getting. I also feel like other sitters have focused on the dog way more than the cat but I got plenty of updates on both. I felt super confident being away knowing the animals were being cared for so well.
She was amazing! Available last minute and flexible. Went above and beyond when she found out we were leaving so my son could propose to his girlfriend at a Bannana Ball game. She door dashed balloons and decorations. Was very kind of her. Would recommend always.
Nori was fantastic! Pictures were sent everyday of all our fur babies. The house was totally clean when we returned. Fur babies miss him now that he is gone. Nori gave them so much love and care. I would recommend Nori to care for your house and your babies 110%! Nori went above and beyond!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 2,840 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
- 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.
