“Elena was fantastic!!! She took care of my pet while I was on vacation. My cat immediately bonded with her. Elena keep me up-to-date, sent great photos that re-assured me that my cat was content, and she has great follow-up. I trust her care and definitely plan to use Elena again.”
About: I have been passionate about pets my whole life. I am often asked by friends and family to dog sit and take care of their pets when they are away. I treat the dogs I sit like my own and give them the care I would to my own dogs. My dogs are used to having new pet friends when I do dog sit and get along well with them. I am experienced with pets that have special needs, and I am happy to care for fur-babies of all ages and needs. You will have peace of mind that your pet is cared for and loved. I work 4 10 hours days so I will be available on the whole weekend to care for pets. I often spend time walking my dogs and playing with them at the park. They get plenty of play time in and out of the house. I will follow any directions needed to care for your pet at home. Ensuring no escapes is priority number 1! If I am pet sitting I have a big back yard and lots of parks nearby.
“I highly recommend Megan! She did an excellent job taking care of my cat for a week while I was away, and I can tell he really enjoyed the love and attention that she gave him. Her updates are always detailed and it’s a joy to get the videos and photos that she sends. Very happy to have found Meaghan in the area - I feel I can trust her to go the extra mile!”
“Zuko is sooo happy after all his walks with Solveig, she was awesome. She sent me so many pictures and went above and beyond - walking him multiple miles, hanging out with him while I was out of town, and playing violin with him :) he’s the most relaxed I’ve seen him post-trip and definitely had a good time.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Jami was fantastic!! I needed someone extremely last minute and she responded quickly and was even able to come for a quick meet and greet before I left. Beyond her helpful enthusiasm, she took excellent care of Neko while I was away and even washed the things she used! Above and beyond! Would totally recommend her to anyone :)”
“Brooklyn always does a great job for us. My kitty loves playing with her and cuddling, he greets her at the door. She goes above and beyond. We recently lost one of our kitties to cancer and she gave us a hand drawn portrait of both of them and babies breath flowers for us to come home to. It was one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for us. Really so special”
“Bridgette was great with my old girl, Moxxi. She sent videos and pictures and kept in contact with updates even though she knew I wouldn't have cell service on my vacation. She did a small visit before booking just to go over expectations, food and medicine storage, general instructions, and what would happen in an emergency situation which let me feel a lot more at peace of being out of contact.”
“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.”
“Tess is awesome!!! She took the best care of my two social cats while I was away. She left detailed updates on the report cards and sent the funniest photos of the boys playing with their favorite toy. She was also very kind and brought in the mail and watered my plants. Truly a top notch sitter with wonderful communication and updates. We are definitely going to use her again for our cat sitting needs!”
“Jessica did an excellent job watching my two kittens. She paid close attention to my care instructions and made sure to send lots of pictures and detailed check ins. I'd definitely use her again.”
“Nicole was amazing! My cat loved her. Not only did she do a great job with feeding but she cleaned his litter box and played with him. She kept me updated everyday on how he was doing and was always quick to respond when I sent her a message.”
“Emalee was a perfect sitter for our cat! Our guy needs lots of love and attention and spent time cuddling and playing with him, giving him his beloved catnip and letting him roam outside. He loved her! She was attentive and thorough with feeding and cleaning up after him; went well above what I anticipated. Choose her the next time you’re looking for someone!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Salt Lake
This was my third time booking with Megan, and once again she took wonderful care of my cats. She is reliable, communicative, and always keeps me updated through the Rover cards, which gives me great peace of mind while I'm away. Suellen and Frajola mean the world to me, and I can truly relax knowing they are in such caring hands. Even though my cats don't always get along perfectly, she handles them with patience and care. I highly recommend Megan and will definitely book with her again.
Jenna did a great job caring for our kitties during an extended vacation. Made sure they got play time, fastidious with litter box cleaning and also attentive to fur balls. Thorough in approach and great communication. Definitely gave us comfort that they were well taken care of.
Bridgette is amazing!! I’m so grateful we connected last minute before a trip. I was nervous about my cat being especially picky eating, and Bridgette was professional and responsive offering reassurance about her experience working with animals with various needs/was totally comfortable helping give him an appetite stimulant and supporting while I was in and out of service! She introduced some great ideas for Ogden with treats and bird videos. I’d love to work with Bridgette again!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a South Salt Lake stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
