About: I am a dedicated animal lover with a natural ability to connect well with pets. I currently have a 2 pound chihuahua and have experience fostering, whom I thoroughly enjoyed caring for. I am able to care for dogs in the evening for walks when fur parents may not be available to do so. In addition to fostering, I also connect with cats. A friend's skittish cat feels comfortable enough to move about freely and relax in my presence, which reflects my calm and patient approach to animal care. I am currently looking for a part time gigs in the evenings Monday-Friday starting at 5:30pm. In the weekends I am only able to drop in and check on the fur friend and/or go on a walk with me. If there is a consistent fur friend that needs constant care, i would be opened to that. Before going to someone's home, I would ask what are is okay and not. What the fur friend needs to have a good time. Go on walks, on a small hike. Take to a dog park to socialize. Any specific details that I must know.
“Allison and Sloan took great care of our senior pup for two weeks. He went on walks, hikes, and got to play tug. They sent us many photos and were always available if we wanted to check up on him. I could tell he was very comfortable and given the attention he needed while we were away. They gave him his medications and made sure he didn't over exert himself with his arthritis and joint issues. We were very pleased with his care and know that he was well loved while we were gone.”
“I deeply appreciate Jackie and her family taking Lucky in for a couple of nights. I'm particularly happy with her routine texts to let us know how he was doing, interacting and all, and I was very glad they were able to accommodate his medication routine, as well.”
“Krista was great with my dog. She sent lots of photos and was very communicative throughout his stay. She also made sure to invite us over before our scheduled sit to see her house and make sure all the animals got a long. We had to change our pickup and drop-off times after we booked and she was very flexible and understanding. I would recommend her to watch your babies”
“A big thank you to Lana for giving us peace of mind while we were away. Molly had the opportunity to socialize with Lana’s small dogs, play in her large fenced yard and have lots of attention from Lana. We enjoyed seeing pictures and videos of the dogs playing. We will definitely have Lana watch Molly again!”
“Bruce was very accommodating and easy to work with. My dog got excited to see my son when he picked him up and then didn't want to leave Bruce's house. He was obviously very comfortable and happy!”
“Kelly was so great! I would highly recommend your dogs with her. My dogs were so happy and came home happy! Such a nice family that take such good care of the dogs. Great yard for the dogs to play in and nice family home for them to feel welcome and safe. Thanks Kelly and family!”
About: I have always had dogs! I have one 3 year old goldendoodle who loves friends! We would love to share time and toys with your baby! I work Monday - Friday 6 mins from my home. I can come home for potty breaks as needed. I am home on the weekends. This is a dog's world, I just live in it! I am all about meeting their needs. My dog, Missy Lou, will be with me, and we would love be with your furry friends where it is most comfortable for them.
“Super convenient location off the canyon in Peterson. Love it that kids get to love on my dogs when their mini humans aren’t around. Thanks Crystal for hosting our princess at your place.”
“This was the first time my dogs have stayed with Jason, but they loved it. They sent me pictures throughout the trip and I could tell they were really happy. They took such great care of my furbabies. I highly recommend, and will definitely be using them again.”
“Casey was a great sitter. We felt much better about having our doggie with her and the attention her family gave while we were away for a week rather than a traditional boarding business. We were able to have an initial meeting to have her and her dogs meet our dog to establish a comfort zone; this was very professional and appreciated. Casey's communication was great throughout and even the drop-off went well with no drama; I'm guessing because we had that initial meeting and she wasn't a stranger at that point. The experience went great and I would feel more than comfortable utilizing Casey again for our pup if travel needs arise in the future.”
About: Hi y'all! For all my life I've had a love for animals. In the last ~10 years or so I have had the opportunity to work in the veterinary industry. As part of that I started in a boarding facility and took care of many dogs and cats a day, making sure they got the care and attention they all deserved. I was trained in how to properly give medications, both oral and injectable types, and have been able to practice those skills throughout my career. I have been entrusted with many family, friends, and neighbors beloved family members of all sorts and have always loved it. Since being on my own, I have had the opportunity to adopt a crazy little heeler (who lives with his grand-paw-rents) and a rambunctious little cat. I have worked with dogs and cats of any and all ages and sizes, but I will always have a special place in my heart for the giants. Currently I am working in a retail job that requires me to work most days throughout the week. However, I am usually only working 8 hours a day, but I'm able to run home for lunch and spend a good 45 minutes with your loved one before heading back. Other than a select few weeks/weekends throughout the year, I am happy to negotiate any sort of arrangement! Any boundaries and rules in place for your pet will be followed as if you were the one there. I am more than happy to spend time playing with your furry family members and making sure they are comfortable with me, happy, and well loved while you are away. I personally have a fairly dog savvy cat who is crazy and rambunctious, but will tell a dog to give her space if they are a little crazy for her. Because of this, any dog boarding in my home will have to be *cat safe. *This will not apply if I am housesitting of course. If your VIP pup is staying in my home, being able to comfortably be kenneled, especially at night, is a must for safety reasons! However, I am more than happy to let them stay wherever they are most comfortable in their own home.
“Heidi and her family took care of our dog Bucky for a week while we were out of town. She went above and beyond to make sure Bucky was safe and had a good time while he was there. We felt comfortable and confident leaving him with them for 5 days!”

Over the years I’ve also taken care of friends’ dogs treating each one as if they were my own. I have also been able to teach Moki a lot of tricks and keep working on them.

Since I’m currently not working. I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to bed care. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to closely supervised, stick to feeding and walking schedules and provide consistent companionship and care. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and loved I follow their routine and I have a fence yard and a friendly dog with me. I will also pay close attention to any special instructions provided by the owner

We have a 4 mo old puppy that was hard to leave home so we could go on vacation! Ashley & Michael were awesome! We first did a meet & greet at their house, they were great to answer all my questions. Our cute girl stayed for 5 days and did great. I loved the daily updates & pictures from them. I would be comfortable booking them again!
Bianca is Amazing!! She always sends Beaux home happy and healthy. It’s better than just doggy daycare it’s like a doggy spa. Beaux gets a fresh new bandana and always smells so good. She gives Beaux treats to take home. We love that she treats Beaux like one of her own. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had such an amazing experience with Mckehl! She was absolutely wonderful with our dog and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She was loving, attentive, reliable, and kept us updated throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind 🫶🏽
Edgar was an awesome dog sitter. Provided timely response, daily updates with pictures and videos. His two pups made it real easy for Chevy to make friends real quick. Edgar also provided some good excersise for Chevy which is a huge plus especially for herding dogs. Would highly recommend and would book again!

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.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in UT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
