“Evelynn took amazing care of my rescue pup while I was away! Communication was great and I received multiple pupdate photos. She asked super thoughtful questions about my dog during the stay; hope to book again!!!”

“Elena was great with my kitty!! She sent frequent and helpful updates and cute pics. My cat usually loses his voice when I leave down from meowing too much, but he was so content when I got home.”
“Lauren is an amazing dog sitter. She is great with our two large dogs and cat, and always very accommodating. Cannot say enough good things, we are grateful for everything she does for us!”


“Landon is the man! He did such a good job with our senior dog and our crazy cat. They seemed very content when we got home. If he had questions about something he would ask rather than assuming, which was great! The house also looks immaculate! We are definitely going to reach out to Landon in the future!”

“Kristen was great with our pets! She provided updates and came over beforehand to get familiar with our home and pets. She is friendly and inquisitive and provided great care.”

“Zoe was amazing! Our German Shepherd is typically an anxious dog around new people but Zoe made him feel comfortable almost immediately. We felt very secure knowing that he was being well taken care of. Plus we got lots of pics and updates throughout our time away. We will definitely be having Zoe over again to watch Obi!”

About: I was raised on a ranch with various annimals and understand how to communicate with all animals. I currently am the mom to two herding dogs that I keep mentally and physically active. I’m 5’8 and strong so I can work with large breeds. My schedule is completely open. Ideally my working hours are between 7am and 8pm. I’m working to combine my love for hiking and walking with my love for animals and ensuring they have a happy and balanced life. I am available for hikes, walks, drop-ins and pet sitting at your home. I will work with special needs dogs and animals. I will work on specific training your dog is currently needing. I’m tall and fit so I can work with large breeds.
“Annie is incredible! She took such great care of our dog Finn. Showering him with so much love and attention. She was very careful with him given the hot weather and left our home in fantastic condition. We loved all the photo updates and would trust her to housesit again in an instant!”

“Payton did an amazing job taking care of our dogs. We were kept updated the whole time with messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It was clear there was genuine care and extra effort put into everything, even taking the dogs on hikes. I would absolutely love to book with Payton again and can’t recommend enough.”


“Highly recommend! She was punctual and very kind. She even sent me the cutest pics and videos of our pup while we were away. Definitely will hire her again ☺️”

About: I grew up with pets galore, from cats to dogs to gerbils to chinchillas to turtles and fish! I grew up in Utah and just moved to Salt Lake, I’m looking for some furry friends to come on walks with me! I can’t wait to meet them and love them! I am free for walks or check-ins early mornings from 6:45-7:45AM, during lunch time every day but Tues/Wed, and all evenings after 5PM! Saturday’s and Sundays are usually wide open! I prefer to watch pets in your home, as I’m in an apartment with no yard. Happy to do pop ins to feed them, let them out, and go on walks!
“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Look no further! Heather is absolutely the best! Our pets feel so comfortable with her, and it always makes it so much easier to be knowing she’ll be here with our pets!! The sweetest pictures and videos always show the best cuddles and playtime! We’re forever grateful for all she does for us!!”

Sugar House pet parents share their Rover experiences
Micheline looked after Sprite in our home for two weeks. She sent us pictures daily of Sprite, took her for walks, and communicated with us as needed to coordinate things related to Sprite and the house. I will definitely ask her to come back when next we need a sitter for Sprite.

Catrine “Cat” was everything I could have asked for. My regular sitter cancelled a month before my vacation and I found Cat on here. We did a meet and greet and my boys were comfortable with her, which isn’t always the case. They can be selective. Leading up to the booking Cat reached out to offer to come over the morning before I left to make sure she had all the information she needed, which I appreciated. While away she kept in daily contact with text and pictures assuring me the boys were safe, well taken care of and having a great time. She was concerned my one dog was looking a bit skinny because I had changed his food and asked if take could feed him more, for her to notice and ask was a great feeling knowing she was paying attention to them. My other boys takes medication and she had no problem giving him his “pill pocket” twice a day. My dogs have a walker and she texted me commenting on how happy the boys seemed to be with Cat. She was respectful of my home and it was neat and tidy and the bed sheets and towels were washed and folded, above and beyond. If you want to leave your animals in caring, loving hands then Cat is your person. She will definitely be my go to for future sitting during my vacations.

Maison was great!!! She did an amazing job caring for our two kitties this past week. She was incredibly thorough and attentive with all aspects of care. She even earned the trust of our more stubborn boy! We felt very safe trusting her with house sitting and watching our boys!
