“Brooklyn was great! She did everything my cat needed and really took the time to hang out at my home and let her get comfortable. My cat is very shy and usually doesn’t like new people, but she eventually warmed up to her and even came out for pets! She sent lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated, and communication was great throughout the stay. I felt completely comfortable knowing my cat was in good hands. I highly recommend her!”
“Madison was a fantastic sitter. She took excellent care of our three cats, was responsible, and communicated effectively. She even watered some plants for me, which I greatly appreciated. We would definitely work with her again.”
“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!!”
About: I've had the pleasure of raising 2 amazing dogs over the last 20+ years. Both required special care in their elder years. Friends and family know that I love and care for all dogs and are the first call they make when needing a sitter for their fur babies. I recently transitioned out of the tech industry after a 26-year career, meaning I now have a completely open and flexible schedule to provide your dog with full-time care and companionship. I am looking for something truly rewarding, and there is no better way for me to spend my days than surrounded by the animals that bring me so much joy. Because I am home throughout the day, your pup will benefit from a consistent routine, frequent potty breaks, and constant supervision. The house is fully fenced and features a doggy door to allow pups to come and go safely as they please. I currently do not have any dogs living here, as I sadly lost my precious girl earlier this year. Because of this, your dog will have our absolute, undivided attention and the entire space to themselves during their stay.
About: I have 2 active Australian shepherds that I care for. They go to the park twice a day! Both are very hyper so I always make sure to give them multiple walks as well as park time. I feed my dogs on a set schedule around 5-6pm with one large meal as well as a lighter meal in the morning. My dogs are always up to date with checkups and shots! I don’t play favorites and will divvy up play time equally. I owned multiple cats growing up as a kid as well as a Jack Russell Terrier during high school. I also have experience caring for exotic pets, such as rabbits/bunnies and have owned 2 previously. I work from home full time so I am able to care for multiple pets. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to walk my dogs multiple times per day and usually 2 long walks at the dog park. I wake up around 6am to walk them then work between 9-5pm. In between those hours I take my dogs out for a walk or two as well as entertain them on my breaks. We have plenty of dog toys available for them to entertain themselves. I allow my dogs to free roam the house because they’ve earned that privilege but crate time every now and then is also utilized. I also run a lot with my dogs, so if your dog enjoys runs I am happy to do that as well. I keep my dogs upstairs with me while I work or sometimes leave them downstairs where they nap on the couch and relax. I like to give my dogs dedicated decompression time in their crates after play time or during dinner. I have a fully fenced yard will plenty of space for your pets to roam. I will always treat your pet as if it were my own. Trust is not built in one day, but it can be lost instantly!
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for my neighbors my whole life, so I’ve worked with a variety of pets and would consider myself extremely responsible and considerate! I’m currently enrolled in school, but I only have one class a day in the morning most days and am done by 11:30 or earlier every day. Other than that I have a lot of free time right now! I have a completely fenced in backyard with lots of pet friendly parks and amenities within walking distance of my house. I also have an easy access extra room downstairs that can be used for any of your pets needs!
“Kristina was so great with my two dogs! She was always on time and would send me the cutest photos. She’s very dependable and I would recommend her to anyone else looking to trust someone with their fur babies.”
About: Hi, neighbors and friends! I’m a millennial pug mom who loves dogs. I have raised pugs since I was 3 years old. I come from a family of dog breeders, adopters, fosters, and truly love pets as family. I am offering to love on your dog as much as I love my two pugs. I am available for drops ins visits in the morning time frames from 6-8:00 AM and evenings 6-8:00PM. I have open availability on the weekends and I am flexible! I also take dog clients to the dog park while you are at work or out of town. Coming soon: overnight boarding! Do you also need a ride to or from the airport? You are already planning a lot, I’m happy to provide ride services since I don’t live far! My mission is to help dogs feel safe with someone at home or your home if you need to leave town. I'm currently available to walk your dog in the mornings and evenings, as well as take them to the dog park for a play date. My dogs keep a routine so let us know if your dog also has a special routine so we can accommodate! I'm also happy to sit with them so they don't feel alone if you are out of town. I can visit your pet and make sure they are fed and have water, play with them, let them out and take them for a walk to the dog park if you like.
“Yosis was unbelievably helpful with a last min drop in booking! I have one wild puppy and another senior. She went above and beyond. I would highly recommend her for drop in visits or overnight stays”
About: I grew up with dogs (and cats!) but have been officially dogsitting for eight years. My specialities include: booty scratchies, ear rubs, kissies, and taking long walks. It’s important to start the day with walks (time outside for stimulation) and breakfast! I work in an office during the day, and the evenings are meant for additional walks as needed, dinner, and snuggle/down time. My favorite personal activity is reading, so the snuggles and book time tend to go hand in hand. I offer lots of love through gentle petting and snuggles. I also talk to the fur babies, however, am very aware of tone, as pets often don’t know what you’re saying, but they understand more how you’re saying it.
“Thank you so much, the updates were so detailed and thoughtful. The pictures were amazing, I would’ve been really worried about him without the plethora of pictures and adorable updates :) He seemed like he had a great time with you. We apple you bringing in the package too. We hope you are available to check on Salt next time! Thanks, Margaret and Susan”
About: I don’t just provide basic pet care - I take the time to understand each dog as an individual. My background has taught me how to read body language, respect boundaries, and build trust with dogs who may need extra patience or support. I’m comfortable maintaining detailed routines, administering oral medications, supporting senior or recovering pets, and providing the calm, attentive care that helps dogs feel secure. With a lifetime around animals and hands-on animal welfare experience, I bring both compassion and practical knowledge to every visit. Animals are already a meaningful part of my everyday life. I naturally incorporate pet care into my routine through outdoor time, activity, patience, and connection. I enjoy getting outside, staying active, and creating enriching experiences for animals, whether that’s a walk around the neighborhood, playtime, mental stimulation, or simply providing companionship. My goal is to make your pet feel like their normal routine continues - even when you’re away. I believe pets are most comfortable when they can stay in the environment they know and love. For in-home care, my priority is maintaining your pet’s normal routine while providing a safe, calm, and trustworthy presence in their space. I treat every home and animal with the same respect and care I would want for my own - following your instructions closely, respecting your home, and paying attention to the small details that help your pet feel secure.
“Madison was like a breath of fresh air after having an horrific experience with my previous sitter (not from Rover). My boys love her and she took such good care of them. I will definitely be using her again and so should you!”
About: I’ve been caring for friends’ pets and homes for the past eight years, and I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve looked after pets for friends and cared for cats in my own household, so I understand that every animal has its own personality, preferences, and routines. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs so life stays as normal as possible while their family is away. Whether that means neighborhood walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, litter care, or simply providing quiet companionship, I approach pet care with patience, kindness, and attention to detail. I also care for each home with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine. I believe clear communication and regular updates help owners travel with confidence, and I prefer to schedule a meet-and-greet before every first booking to make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a great fit. I’m a full-time middle school teacher, so I’m available for pet care before and after school, evenings, and weekends. For overnight house sitting, I provide morning, evening, and overnight care while maintaining my regular work schedule. My availability is much more flexible during weekends, school holidays, and summer break. I follow each pet’s established routine and treat every home with care and respect. My friendly dog, Tivoli, accompanies me on overnight house-sitting bookings, so I always arrange a meet-and-greet to ensure the dogs are compatible. For drop-in visits, Tivoli stays home. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands.
“Mo gave daily updates, and sent lots of photos and videos! She made sure our cats were very well cared for, especially our senior who needs meds. She went above and beyond to play and hang out with our boys, and made sure they received love while we were gone.”
“Wendy is amazing. So patient, kind and accommodating. She was great with being patient with Arthur, and even providing emotional support to me as a new dog mom! lol. Highly recommend.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in South Salt Lake is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Salt Lake
Jami was a pleasure to work with. She was quick to respond and upon doing the initial meet-and-greet I was relieved that my cat would be in good hands when I left on my trip. Will for sure use her again in the future. I also appreciated the photographs she would send and have already made one my screen saver!!
Gaby is amazing with our girl, Mika! She helps us out with daily drop-in visits, and we couldn’t ask for a more kind, caring, and reliable sitter. Mika (and our kitty Kiki) absolutely love her. Gaby has been doing drop-ins consistently for 7 months and we would highly recommend her services! Thanks, Gaby!
My husky, Tosh, is 14.5 years old with lots of health issues, and Beverly has been so great with him and all his needs (specifically mobility issues)! She sends plenty of pictures and updates, which gives me peace of mind while I’m away. She’s always on time, very respectful of our home, and Tosh is always excited to see her. Having someone this trustworthy and responsible looking after him has been a Godsend. I’ll definitely be booking her again next time he needs a sitter.
Once again, McKinsey was awesome. She jumped right in to care for my boy the day he came home from the emergency vet. She gave him his medication like an expert and kept me in the loop with all that was happening. I felt at ease knowing that he was in good hands. I came home to a happy relaxed cat. I can’t recommend McKinsey enough.
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.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in South Salt Lake is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
