About: As a full-time traveler living the van-life dream, I bring a unique blend of dedication, responsibility, and individualized attention to every pet I care for. My background includes years of hands-on experience looking after family pets—especially cats of all temperaments—and running my own professional cleaning business. This means I deeply understand the level of trust, cleanliness, and respect required when managing someone else's home. I specialize in house sitting, drop-in visits, and active dog walking. To ensure your pet gets premium care while allowing me to manage my business and personal errands, I operate under clear service boundaries: STANDARD CARE: My standard house sitting rate covers normal daytime flexibility alongside dedicated overnight care. I spend the vast majority of my day providing companionship, but I maintain standard daytime flexibility to leave the home as needed, ensuring I am never away for more than 4 hours at a time. CONSTANT CARE: If your pet has severe separation anxiety or medical needs requiring intensive, around-the-clock supervision (3-hour or shorter away windows), a custom daytime premium of $25 per day/night will be added to cover the full 24 hours of dedicated care. I treat every home I enter with the highest level of care. I am exceptionally quiet, tidy, and clean. Please review my detailed breakdown below regarding my seasonal availability and typical daily routines to see how we can set up the perfect care schedule for your pet! Because I live full-time on the road, my primary focus is dedicated to the pets in my care! To keep things completely transparent, here is how I manage my availability: ARIZONA WINTER BOOKINGS: During the winter season, pet care is my 100% full-time focus with wide-open availability. I plan to be available in the Tempe/Phoenix area from December 7th, 2026- February 28th, 2027. UTAH BOOKINGS: During the rest of the year, I operate a part-time house cleaning business. I carefully structure my cleaning days so that I am never away from your pet for more than 4 hours at a time. I will always let you know in advance or during your booking request if your booking dates coincides with one of my scheduled cleanings. I'm happy to make changes if necessary to my cleaning schedule if this poses to be an issue, I just need enough time in advance to communicate and make those accomadations. SERVICE FRAMEWORK: To ensure high-quality care, individual time caps apply to drop-in services (1 to 2 hours max) and dog walks (30 minutes to 1 hour max). House sitting bookings operate within flexible arrival windows to account for traffic or weather. I treat your home and your pets with the absolute highest level of care, cleanliness, and respect. HOME SELF-SUFFICIENCY: Because my home travels with me, I am uniquely self-sufficient. For house sitting, I typically sleep in my fully-equipped van parked outside to give your pets daytime companionship while keeping your home private. If your pet requires overnight company inside, I am happy to accommodate that upon request. RESPECTING YOUR SPACE: For longer stays, I may minimally use the kitchen or bathroom as needed—always providing my own food and keeping your space entirely tidy. I am also happy to help collect mail or water plants upon request! CAT SAFETY: To ensure their absolute safety, I strictly adhere to indoor-only boundaries during my visits and always double-check doors and windows upon entering and leaving.

About: I’ve been a pet parent myself for 10 years, caring for my own dog while looking after multiple cats. I’ve looked after friends and families animals so I am very comfortable stepping into new environments. I’ve gained hands on experience with pets that require medication (including pills, liquids, injections, etc). I’ve cared for animals of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior animals who require a little extra patience. I love meeting each pet where they’re at. Whether it’s a gentle cuddle session or an energetic walk, i’ll match your pets energy making sure they feel loved and happy. I'm a student with a pretty steady routine, so I have reliable blocks of time for pet care. On weekdays, I'm free in the late mornings and early afternoons I have practice on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays but I'm back home by 9:30 AM. Weekends are more open, I always know my schedule ahead of time and can plan around it. I'm rarely away for more than a few hours at a stretch. I plan my week around confirmed bookings and make sure your pets care never overlaps with something else. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable. I always leave the home clean and like to send updates (whether it’s a text or a photo) after visits so you know how things are going. If anything comes up (a change in behavior, a mess, or something out of the ordinary), I’ll let you know immediately. I treat every pet and home like i’d want mine to be treated.

About: It’s true what they say, dogs are a man’s best friend and I’d love to be your dogs new best friend:) I’ve been around dogs most my life and I’ve learned quite a few things from them. They’re just as emotion filled as any other being on Earth and deserve to be treated with love, patience, and a lot of treats:) I have a full time job that keeps me away in the mornings and early afternoons but anytime after that, I’m just a text away:) Any pup is worth my time and my love. At home I have 3 cats that are 1-4 years old. Occasionally I have my parents 3 dogs staying over as well but most of the time it’s just me and my cats! All are very friendly and very well behaved.

About: I've owned dogs big and small and have always been the go-to sitter for when friends and family need to get away. I love playing and going on walks, letting the dog walk as fast it wants, while still making time to sniff the smells. I can look after pets weekdays after 2pm and all day on weekends! I would be available to board Friday-Sunday regularly, but could make time for other days in a pinch! I have a decent sized fenced back yard with lots of room for playing and a fairly quiet neighborhood that can accommodate very long walks if necessary. I don't currently have any other pets in the home, so your pet will not need to share attention!

I work part time and I’m available all day/night on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I work Tuesday-Friday and am available before and after work on those days. I will work with you to ensure everything is done correctly with your pet! I am flexible and open to any routines your pet has.

About: I have experience with large dogs, small dogs, cats, and many other animals. I currently own a Saint Bernard and I groom him on my own. I’m happy to provide that as a service. My husband works from home, so you will have someone there nearly 24/7. We have a dog door for times we are not home if you feel comfortable with that. Otherwise we can use your crate or have your dog loose in the house. Our children play baseball and we spend a lot of weeknights at the ball park, so we may need to leave your friend home for a few hours on weeknights through the end of May. I have a fully fenced in yard and a dog door that leads into it. We have 2 friendly dogs that would love to help socialize young dogs. We’re happy to go on walks and take your friend on adventures with us if you are comfortable with that. I have 3 boys who will enjoy spending time playing with your friends. We will provide a private feeding area for your pooch.

“Vanessa was hands down the most thorough cat sitter we have ever had! She took notes during our meet and greet and documented everything during her drop in visits including taking a photo showing us that she was giving our kitty the correct meds. We felt so reassured knowing our two kitties with asthma were in good hands. We will definitely book again. Thanks so much Vanessa!”

About: I've been around cats and dogs my whole life, and even have experience with gerbils, hamsters, and fish! I used to work at a dog boarding facility for about a year and have volunteered at a vet hospital and dumb friends league events! I'm currently a graduate student but I have plenty of free time throughout the week to come check in on your pet or walk them. I have Fridays-Mondays free and Wednesday mornings free. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am busier, but still able to check in with your pet before or after classes! I love establishing routines with pets, so following a set schedule from the client is a must. I want them to feel safe with me, so I will follow their boundaries and make for an anxiety-free and fun environment.

About: I have always been an animal lover, especially dogs and cats ever since I was little. I have taken care of many pets and have even contributed to rescuing dogs from Puerto Rico. I am currently going to school and working part-time. I have 1 in person class on Mondays and the rest are online and for work I usually work on Saturdays so I have plenty of time to take care of any pets on Tuesdays through Fridays and I can also do Sundays! I always care for a pet as they are my own. I am willing to keep each pets routine as consistent and make sure they aren’t too stressed out. In my home, my four pets have a clean environment, I always give them a lot of attention, play time, frequent exercise, and regular potty breaks. I can follow the owners instructions for feeding schedules, exercise, and any other special requirements that your pet might need. I always make sure that pets have fresh water and food, and also a comfortable place to rest. If I am caring for pets at a clients home, I make sure to always respect their space and maintain the pets daily routine. I will provide walks, playtime, feeding, litter box or yard cleanup, and a lots of loves and cuddles to the pets and make sure they are relaxed and comfortable while the owner is away. I will also send updates and pictures to keep the owners updated and let them know that their pets are happy and cared for!

“Faith was absolutely amazing. As a neurotic pet parent with no supports in the area, I don’t know what I would do without her and the peace of mind I was able to have while I was away. Faith was great with communicating with me and went above and beyond during her visits. She’s also a great photographer and got some pictures that added major wellness points for me! Would 10/10 recommend!”

Katherine was excellent! She took such good care of our kitty. She has lots of experience with cats and even gave me some advice on a plant I wasn’t aware could cause problems for him. Our shy boy warmed to her right away. She goes above and beyond. I definitely hope to use her next time we need a sitter.

Alexus was amazing taking care of my elderly, special needs kitty. Not only was Alexus endlessly patient and kind while giving meds, but she handled any/all issues that came up with understanding and kept me informed the entire time. Her super detailed reports allowed me to feel totally at ease during my travels away from my furry baby. I would highly recommend Alexus and can’t wait to have her back!

Christina did such a great job taking care of our two doggos while we were out of town for a wedding. She communicated so well, and was super reliable. She made sure they had food and fresh water at every visit, and gave them treats too. I really appreciated that she spent some extra time with them on a couple of her visits to give them some company. Everything went smoothly, and it was nice knowing our dogs were being well taken care of while we were away. We would absolutely use Christina again and would happily recommend her!

Michelle was a life saver! We had to find a sitter that could stop by on very short notice (about a 1 week timeframe). We also requested a very early start time at 5am because we have a puppy. She went above and beyond our expectations. She spent a long time with him and our kitty in the mornings - playing, walking, feeding, and giving belly rubs! It was very clear that they were well taken care of. She is also so kind and has a warm personality. We’d recommend Michelle to anyone who wants their pet loved on and taken care of while you’re away!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Taylorsville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Taylorsville is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 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.

As of October 2026, there are 4,463 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Taylorsville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Taylorsville. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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 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.
