“Leila is so good with my cat! My scaredy cat is only comfortable around a few people, and Leila has become one of them. Always so grateful when she’s available to watch my cat!”
“Myla was great! My cat really loved her and she went above and beyond caring for her and my home. Myla fed and watered her, brushed her, played with her, and hid treats for her to sniff out. I came home to a happy, healthy pet! Myla even brought in several packages that arrived earlier than anticipated. Overall, I had no issues.”
“Jeannene was so reliable and friendly. It was a relief to know that my cat was in good hands and with someone experienced with cats. She provided thorough updates and I came back to the house in great condition.”
“We had such a great experience with Christina! Throughout the stay, we received regular updates, photos, and little notes that showed just how well our dog was being looked after. It was clear our dog was happy, relaxed, and getting lots of attention, and love. We especially appreciated the reliability and professionalism, everything was handled exactly as discussed, and even a few extra thoughtful touches went a long way. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for dog made all the difference. We would absolutely recommend Christina to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Hi there:) Please read information about my schedule before booking!! (About me) I’ve been taking care of neighbors and friends dogs since I was 14, I’ve also been on the app Wag as a trusted caregiver for 2+ years, but I’ve expanded to provide services on Rover as well. I’ve administered medication, taken care of dogs in heat, and have some experience in a veterinary setting. My grandpa built the Park animal hospital in Provo, so I also have a vet on speed dial if anything should happen. I love spending time with all sorts of dogs, cats and other animals and love each one like my own:) I love to run and hike on the trails in the Aves, so if your pup loves to run let me know! I am currently employed full time at University Hospital in Salt Lake as a lab technician. My schedule is very unique; I work 7 days in a row, then get 7 days off and repeat. I have my calendar adjusted so that during my work weeks, I am unavailable for boarding or sitting. This is because I work 10 hour shifts (4am-2:30pm) and most pups can't wait that long to be let out. If your pup can handle 10 hour work days, I would be HAPPY to continue these services for you, just let me know what your pup can handle:) I recently moved to the Aves in Salt Lake and currently live alone in a studio apartment. Living here has been the best environment for caring for pups. I live in between Lindsey Gardens and Memory Grove which I’ve learned is a popular fun space for people and their pups. I also love to run! And the side walks and quiet neighborhood have been the best for taking pups with me.
“Jami is absolutely amazing!! We couldn’t have been happier with how she took care of our doggos and they were so happy to HNH out with her. She is punctual, sweet, caring, and communicative. Highly recommend her to anyone!”
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!
“Gigi was awesome! She was responsive and poactive. My cat is a bit shy and needs her space, Gigi followed all of the directions and gave me great peace of mind while I was away.”
“Erin & Lance did a great job taking care of our cat and watering our plants! They were super responsive and super sweet with our cat! We’ll use them again!!”
“Kaitlyn was such a huge help watching our 2 cats while we were away on vacation. She was very easy to communicate with, responded fast, followed all our instructions, and the boys loved her! She even was able to help us administer some last minute medical ear drops that we didn’t initially anticipate. Thank you Kaitlyn!!”
“Tyson was so attentive and went above and beyond for our doggies. He was always active and made us feel so comfortable leaving them with him. We got constant updates with the cutest pictures. We are so grateful to have found Tyson and our pups are too.”
About: I have loved dogs and puppies since before I could walk. I was the main caretaker of a 4 year old dog since he was a puppy before I moved to college, and now that I’ve graduated I want to be able to care for dogs again! I absolutely love the outdoors, including going on walks or hikes and parks. I'm very energetic, hard working, and punctual! I'll try to get back as soon as I can on any sitter requests. Feel free to let me know any special requests with your dog, I'm pretty flexible.
“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.”
“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!”
“Ashley was amazing! I’m so grateful for all her help while I was away on a work trip. She gave me such peace of mind while I was gone. My cats were happy to have some company while I was away! ❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Salt Lake
Jami was great. Sent daily updates and my cats seemed to be well taken care of as they were content when I got home, just requiring a few extra cuddles. She even coaxed my shy cat out of hiding for his favorite back scratches. She also volunteered to do extra helpful tasks like bring in the mail, water some plants, and take out the garbage. Would definitely hire again.
Cooper was really punctual and made sure I got feedback everyday. I got photos and update on her eating and moods, which I loved! She was super sweet with momo (I could tell from all the flopping she did) and I am already planning future bookings with her again. Highly highly recommend.
Nicole was the most engaged and friendly person as a Rover. Her photographs were incredible and filled with action and love. My animals are sometimes very skittish, but they warmed up to her immediately. I would say her energy made the whole difference. She is calm, and sweet talks the animals and they LOVE her! I am praying she’s around for a long time so I can always use her!
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!
I have never had such wonderful care for my kitties. Being away for two weeks without a worry and coming home to everything and I mean everything clean and in place and well cared for was a first. Sylvia was fantastic with my three kitties. I am very happy and grateful.
Kaitlyn was such a huge help watching our 2 cats while we were away on vacation. She was very easy to communicate with, responded fast, followed all our instructions, and the boys loved her! She even was able to help us administer some last minute medical ear drops that we didn’t initially anticipate. Thank you Kaitlyn!!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. 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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
