“This was our first time using Jessica, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable and knew our dogs were in good hands. She was incredibly communicative throughout our trip and never made me feel like I was being a worry wart. She understood that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful and was always kind, responsive, and reassuring. Jessica took excellent care of our dogs, especially our French Bulldog, who requires extra attention in the Utah heat. She clearly took her responsibilities seriously, made sure they had plenty of potty and outdoor breaks, cleaned up after them, and paid close attention to their needs. She also took great care of our home, brought in our packages, and left everything just as we had hoped. We truly lucked out finding Jessica. We would absolutely book with her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy Rover sitter.”
“Brianna is amazing! She has come over several times for meet and greets to get to know my dogs. One of my pups can be difficult with her nervousness and separation anxiety. Briana has been kind, patient, and wonderful with both of them. She communicates well, responds quickly, and is always early or on time for scheduled sitting. Highly recommended! 💯🐕🐕”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kimberly. We booked the week prior for an overnight so we could take a quick trip to CO for a concert. Kimberly was friendly & communicative the week leading up to the booking and checked in the evening before. She arrived at 6:30 am with such a warm energy and immediately won the pups over. Grimm seemed instantly attached to her! It was very sweet. I was a bit worried since it was our first time using Rover, & the first time leaving the boys with someone other than their grandparents. We felt comfortable with Kimberly right off the bat and we knew our boys were in good hands. I loved that she sent lots of photos & videos while we were away & let us know how well they were doing. She followed all care instructions perfectly. She even left us beautiful flowers she cut from her garden. I would 100% trust Kimberly to care for my furbabies again in the future. I feel blessed to have found and connected with such a good human. Thank you Kimberly! 💛🐾”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of formal veterinary education, hands-on medical experience, and specialized behavioral handling. Having completed coursework in veterinary science and veterinary assisting, I bring a professional understanding of animal health, safety protocols, and early illness detection that standard pet sitters often lack. I am fully confident administering oral or topical medications, ensuring pets with strict medical needs or chronic conditions never miss a dose. Furthermore, my background with behavioral issues means I can accurately read animal body language, manage stress triggers, and provide a calm, safe environment for anxious rescues, high-energy puppies, or senior pets requiring gentle, specialized care. Pet care serve as the core structure of your daily routine by setting fixed times for feeding, exercise, and play. Daily Anchors: Schedule morning and evening feedings, regular walks, and playtime at consistent times each day to give structure to your morning and afternoon. Midday Engagement: Dedicate open daytime blocks to longer walks, trick training, or grooming, which helps keep both you and your pet active. Weekly Tasks: Set aside specific days for deeper maintenance, like cleaning food bowls, washing bedding, and stocking up on supplies. Care for pets—whether in your home or a client's—centers on establishing strict safety routines, maintaining clear communication, and respecting behavioral boundaries. Safe and trustworthy environment for both settings: In Your Home (Boarding or Daycare) Since you can only host pets that get along with others, pre-screening and temperament testing are critical: Conduct a "Meet & Greet": Always meet new client pets on neutral ground (like a local park or quiet sidewalk) before accepting a booking to observe how they react to other animals and strangers. Controlled Introductions: Introduce pets slowly on-leash, watching for tense body language (stiff posture, hard stares, raised hackles) before allowing free interaction. Separation Capability: Maintain dedicated, secure spaces (such as crates, playpens, or separate rooms) so pets can eat, sleep, or rest without stress or competition. Always separate animals during feeding time. Home-Proofing: Ensure backyards are fully fenced with locked gates, hide all cords/cleaning supplies, and keep trash cans secured. In the Client’s Home (House Sitting or Pet Sitting) When caring for pets in their own environment, consistency and home security are key: Follow Their Routine: Adhere strictly to the owner's instructions for feeding schedules, medication, walk routes, and bedtime rules to keep the pet calm and secure. Maintain Home Security: Keep doors and windows locked, ensure gate latches are secured, and properly manage keys or security codes. Leash & Door Safety: Never let pets off-leash in un-fenced areas, and always double-check door latches or gate locks before letting a pet loose in a yard. Emergency Readiness: Have the vet’s contact info, emergency clinic locations, and pet insurance or payment preferences clearly laid out before the owner leaves. Communication & Trust Daily Updates: Send regular photos, videos, and brief notes about feeding, potty habits, and mood to give owners complete peace of mind. Honesty First: If a pet shows anxiety, behavioral issues, or signs of illness, notify the owner promptly to discuss next steps together.
“Michelle house sat for a couple of those rare days when both my hubs and I were both out of town. She left the house in great condition, and was sure to check in with us on our two kitty cats, who needed some extra attention while we were gone. She has a gentle demeanor that I think is particularly well-matched to cats!”
“Jade did a great job for us while we were away, She kept us informed with how our dogs were doing and if she notified us if something was out of the norm. She even made sure to bring our packages that were left on our porch.”
“Naomi took great care of Kona and was kept us up to date. Kona was relaxed and happy when we got home. She also took great care of our house. We’d be happy to have her back.”
“Karen did a wonderful job pet sitting for our two dogs. She had great communication and sent us photos and updates throughout the trip. She left our house in wonderful condition at the end of her job. We would use Karen again.”
About: Hi, I’m Jay, and my wife Cindy is a full-time mom to our teenage daughter and our dog. Cindy grew up on a farm, which sparked her lifelong love for animals and plants. Over the years, we’ve cared for two Havanese dogs and a yellow Labrador Retriever. We currently have a very sweet female Havanese who gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Our daughter also loves playing with dogs and takes great care of them. We have a spacious, fenced yard where your small dog can play safely. We only accept hypoallergenic or non-shedding breeds. We generally welcome dogs weighing between 3 and 20 pounds and allow them to lounge on our couches. However, for safety reasons, we cannot accommodate aggressive dogs, so you may need to find another sitter in that case. Cindy is a full-time stay-at-home mom, so dogs in our care receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Our whole family genuinely loves having dogs around, and we treat every pup as part of our family while they’re with us. We’re happy to provide dog beds, bowls, toys, and a crate if needed. We’re typically available 24/7 and always make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Hello! I’m Jay’s wife, Cindy. I start my mornings at 6 AM by heading out to the backyard with the dogs, and I love making sure they’re well cared for throughout the day. Mealtime is one of my favorite moments with them, so if you have any specific requests regarding your dog’s food, please feel free to let me know anytime! When dogs visit for the first time, they often want to go outside to the backyard every 30 minutes to an hour. This is usually because they are curious and exploring their new environment, seeking comfort in open spaces, marking their territory, or simply adjusting their bathroom habits while settling in. I enjoy spending time outside with the dogs, watching them explore and playing fetch—especially when the weather is nice. Even when they’re just roaming around the backyard, I always keep an eye on them to ensure they’re safe. When it’s time for a nap, I let the dogs rest peacefully while I send updates to their owners. I love being home all day, sharing my time with the dogs and my family. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or needs some extra attention, I always tailor their care to ensure they’re comfortable and happy. Caring for dogs has been a big part of my life. Over the past five years, I’ve raised and nurtured dozens of Havanese and Labrador Retriever puppies before helping them find their forever homes. I also have a passion for photography! With my background in film, video production, and visual effects design, I love capturing special moments of the dogs through photos. I’m always happy to adjust to your dog’s preferences and needs, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any special requests or questions!
“Isabelle took great care of our dog and our home. Everything was immaculate when we returned and our dog was happy and healthy. We will definitely ask Isabelle to stay in our home with our dog again!”
“I am very grateful that Jessica cared for and hung with my senior pup, Sky, over the Holiday. She was responsive, reliable, and communicated very well. I received frequent pictures of Sky, who definitely looked like she was enjoying herself. Most importantly, I felt at ease that she was in good hands and getting lots of love while I was away. Will certainly book Jessica as a sitter again!”
About: Hello, My name is Kennedy and I recently earned my bachelors degree from the university of Utah and I love animals! I have always been around animals and have cared for them growing up. I have also watched and taken care of other dogs while in college to earn extra income. I’m used to administering medication (dog epilepsy, diabetes, etc.), walking, feeding, and giving them the love and affection that they need. I work 30 hours/week as a therapist, but my schedule is very flexible. I never get off later than 5 pm and I have openings in between sessions throughout the day. I am willing to also stay overnight if needed and am open to being flexible to whatever you and your animals needs are! I also would host your dog at my house if need me :) I want it to be an enjoyable experience for you and your baby!
About: Spending time with your pet is my pleasure, and I would care for them as if they were my own. As far back as I can remember I have been a go-to petsitter for friends, family, and coworkers and am known for being flexible, low maintenance, responsible, and having a blast with pups. I will follow any special instructions to the letter and will give your pet a full measure of attention and playtime. I can also send pictures daily if requested. I am easy to communicate with, and I'm easy to reach by phone, WhatsApp, or your preferred messaging service. I love the outdoors, so if your pup wants to enjoy trails and time at the beach or in the mountains, I'm your girl. I am also happy to have a cuddly kitty or lapdog sit with me in the sun as I work on my laptop. I run my own online business and work from home, so I can provide around-the-clock care for your pet. My schedule is highly flexible, so I can provide regular walks throughout the day and attend to any special needs as they come up. We'll discuss your pet's special needs and unique behaviors ahead of time and meet to acquaint ourselves. Knowing how your pet will react to dogs, cats, wildlife, people, children, noises or other unexpected stimuli is important to know ahead of time. I can care for any special dietary needs or medications, or any other unique needs your pet has. Send me a message and let's chat about your pet!

“Macy was excellent! She sent lots of pictures and updates. My pups were all happy when I got back. I’d definitely book Macy again to watch my dogs. Thank you for the incredible service.”
“Nathalia was absolutely amazing! Our two cats and dog were all so happy and clearly well cared for when we got home. She was incredibly communicative, responded quickly to messages, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip. It was obvious she spent plenty of quality time with them, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely trust her with our pets again and highly recommend her!”
“They did a great job watching our home and many animals. We got plenty of pics and updates to let us know everyone was doing well. House looked better than we left it. Definitely plan on using them again.”
“Valerie took great care of Frank! She was very patient with me as well. I was unnecessarily worried about leaving Frank with a stranger but Valerie sent me lots of updates and made me feel very comfortable that Frank was safe and happy. Will definitely be using Valerie again in the future.”

Leaving your dog behind while traveling internationally can be stressful, but Michele made the entire experience worry-free. She cared for my dog, Max, while I was on vacation and provided outstanding communication the whole time. I loved receiving regular photos and videos, and it was obvious that Max was getting lots of attention and care. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my trip. I highly recommend Michele and will gladly trust her with Max again in the future.
MAKAYLA was fantastic! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We needed a last minute dog sitter / house sitter for a week while on vacation in Hawaii. Our scheduled sitter became unavailable 3 days before the trip which was stressful. Makayla swiftly responded to our request and scheduled to meet us the next day. She quickly put out anxious, highly strung, 6 lb. dog at ease and carefully watched our home while we were away - including taking out the trash, collecting the mail (and unexpected Amazon packages), and monitoring for rotating city power outages in the heat of the summer so we wouldn't loose our food. She even notified us immediately when our roofer prematurely dropped off our shingles and left them in the driveway which were not scheduled to arrive until the following week. She sent us pictures and videos of our dog everyday so we could see how happy and comfortable he was. We felt we could relax and enjoy our time far away from home because she was so diligent and effortful in her efforts to assume the dog sitting and house sitting responsibilities. I am highly impressed with her work ethic and level of maturity. We will definitely call her whenever we need a sitter again.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Tooele walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Tooele maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Tooele choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tooele. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
