“Marsha was great! She was good at communicating with me, and sending pictures of my dog. My dog is very timid and not used to being left or around new people, and she seemed very happy and comfortable when we picked her up.”
“Baylee was so awesome! I highly recommend her for all your doggo’s needs. She communicated and kept me updated with chats and pictures. You could tell baby (my dog) got absolutely spoiled there. Thank you again! 5/5 ⭐️’s”
“Victoria was wonderful! Super kind and took great care of our dog. Her kids were so sweet to our dog, and Victoria sent updates and communicated well. We would love for her to take care of our dog in the future.”
“Cheri and her husband were great! Our last experience with rover left us feeling like our dog would never be happy staying at another person’s house other than our own…with our previous experience, our dog didn’t eat for two days—Cheri had Murphy eating in 30 minutes. Hands down will be using them for future trips!”
“Chelsea looked after my 2 pups and she was absolutely amazing! One of them ended up being naughty but she handles her with care and always gave me updates every day, which made me feel not nervous to leave them at her place. Her pups are also great that they played (or tolerated haha) mine. The best sitter ever :) Thank you so much!”
“Dana and Jack were so flexible with the booking! I was due for a baby and wasn’t fully sure when things would happen, but they modified things and took Fox when it was time. He came home tired and happy. Dana and Jack were great to work with and very communicative!”
“Mallory and Bryce were awesome! They took such great care of our mini (very anxiety prone) poodle Des. Mallory sent me lots of updates to show she was settling in well. Looking forward to her next visit in August.”
“Sharon and Cornelius are truly exceptional dog sitters, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! From the moment we connected, their warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for dogs were immediately clear. They went above and beyond to ensure that my dog felt safe, happy, and completely at home. Throughout the entire stay, they kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos. It was obvious our dog wasn’t just being looked after—he was being cared for with real affection and attention. They took the time to learn his routines, preferences, and quirks, and treated him like part of their family. When I returned, our dog was relaxed, content, and clearly well cared for—a true testament to the environment they created. It’s not easy to leave your pet in someone else’s hands, but with Sharon and Cornelius, we felt total confidence every step of the way. If you’re looking for reliable, compassionate, and truly outstanding dog sitters, Sharon and Cornelius are simply the best. We would trust them again in a heartbeat and will definitely work with them in the future. Thank you both so much!”
“My dog came home healthy and happy after a week with Samantha and Hunter. They were very responsive and sent updates and pictures every day which was a big comfort! We will be booking with them again in the future!”
“Kristin was amazing with our little guy! She kept me updated with pictures and texts to show how he was doing. Since this was my first time leaving our little dog I was nervous but she invited me to come meet her first which reassured me a lot. Kovu had an amazing time there and got a ton of snuggles and walks there. No doubt about it Kristin is the best and would recommend her to everyone!!”
“Emmett always has a great time when he stays with Madison and Ryan! He was well cared for and came home happy. It’s a relief to know he’s safe and that I don’t have to worry about him while he’s with Madison and Ryan. Thanks again!”
“Amy…was outstanding and took care of our puppy and his needs. She sent pictures of our puppy with her adorable kids. Riot loved the attention and walks.I would highly recommend her.”
“Clayton and Aubrey and their family were amazing! Ellie felt comfortable there as soon as she walked in, and she got along so well with their dog Penny! We will definitely be booking with them again!”
About: I have over 7 years caring for dogs. I’ve had multiple dogs of my own and have fostered for a local rescue here in Utah. I’ve cared for senior dogs, dogs with illnesses like cancer and puppies. I currently have 1 dog of my own (Chomper), who was a foster fail. I’ve always treated my dogs like my children and will do the same for your pups. I currently work from home most days (besides Wednesday), so I am home the majority of the time. During the day, your dogs will get play time and walks. We live in a townhome with a doggy door and tall fences in the back, so your dogs can go outside whenever they'd like. My husband and I are home a lot on the weekends and spend a large amount of time with the dogs. Safety always comes first for me for any pups. By working from home, it allows me to keep a close eye on the dogs. From my experience with multiple dogs and fostering, I’ve learned what body language to watch out for and what items to keep away. The fences in the back area of our townhome are close to 6 feet, which helps keep dogs secure while enjoying outside.
“My dog had a great time with Kristen. I loved all the pictures and info she sent. It was great to see my dog getting along and playing with her dogs. Anytime I go out of town I’m always sending my dog to Kristen. She was the best!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Thistle home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Thistle.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Thistle sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
