We’ve been having a hard time finding the perfect go-to sitter for our girl, but Holly was amazing and is definitely our new go-to!! She took Lucy in plenty of walks and runs and made sure Lucy was happy and active during her whole stay. We could tell that Lucy loved her stay with Holly!”

She made me feel at ease that our pets were in good hands, she was happy to help with a couple other things we needed taken care of, and our kitties clearly enjoyed having her visit!”
“Sierra was very communicative and did a great job with all of the instructions we left her. My cats don’t get along very well and she did a good job managing them and making sure they were separated. She also did a great job with administering medicine to my cat that needed it daily. Overall, I am very pleased with the services provided and I would absolutely hire her again!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Sugar House
“Keslee is fantastic! She kept me updated all day while my dog was in her care. She also sent the cutest pictures and videos too, I felt so at ease with my dog in her care. I could definitely see he was loved during his stay!”
“Alexis was very patient with Morrison as he is an anxious boy and needs some time to adjust to the new environment. She kept me updated with pictures and texts throughout the day so I was not worried. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Holly did a wonderful job watching our girl, Izzy, while we attended the Pro Women’s Softball game in Salt Lake City. This was the very first time we had ever left Izzy with someone we didn’t know, so we were naturally a little nervous. Holly was patient and understanding with Izzy, especially when she was hesitant to leave on the group walk because she was looking for us where we had dropped her off. Holly took her on a walk with about five other dogs, and Izzy did well! It was reassuring to hear that she settled in and handled the experience so nicely. We really appreciated Holly’s communication and the care she gave Izzy. Knowing our pup was safe, exercised, and in good hands allowed us to relax and enjoy the game. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Holly to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter, and we’d be happy to have Izzy stay with her again!”
“Alyssa was great! She was super understanding of my flexible schedule and was able to pick up extra days on short notice. Better yet, Piper loved her time with Alyssa and her family. I received pictures everyday and reports on her potty breaks and she always took Piper on at least 1 walk a day.”
About: Home boarding that feels like hanging at a friend’s house. I’m a laid-back Husky owner on Rover. My huskies are social and low-drama, and usually happy to share the yard and couch with new pals. I work from home, so boarding fits the week instead of fighting it. Flexible drop-offs most days, and your dog gets real company while I’m around. Not left alone for long stretches. Happy to align on timing and the care they need for the stay. Boarding is at my house. Fully fenced backyard for roam and play, quiet dog-friendly neighborhood, and my huskies for company when your dog wants a buddy. Indoors they’re part of the household. Calm house, supervised time, and I’m home most of the day.
About: I have 2 active Australian shepherds that I care for. They go to the park twice a day! Both are very hyper so I always make sure to give them multiple walks as well as park time. I feed my dogs on a set schedule around 5-6pm with one large meal as well as a lighter meal in the morning. My dogs are always up to date with checkups and shots! I don’t play favorites and will divvy up play time equally. I owned multiple cats growing up as a kid as well as a Jack Russell Terrier during high school. I also have experience caring for exotic pets, such as rabbits/bunnies and have owned 2 previously. I work from home full time so I am able to care for multiple pets. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to walk my dogs multiple times per day and usually 2 long walks at the dog park. I wake up around 6am to walk them then work between 9-5pm. In between those hours I take my dogs out for a walk or two as well as entertain them on my breaks. We have plenty of dog toys available for them to entertain themselves. I allow my dogs to free roam the house because they’ve earned that privilege but crate time every now and then is also utilized. I also run a lot with my dogs, so if your dog enjoys runs I am happy to do that as well. I keep my dogs upstairs with me while I work or sometimes leave them downstairs where they nap on the couch and relax. I like to give my dogs dedicated decompression time in their crates after play time or during dinner. I have a fully fenced yard will plenty of space for your pets to roam. I will always treat your pet as if it were my own. Trust is not built in one day, but it can be lost instantly!
About: I am a retired dog groomer, but I do work full time during the week. I can do weekend and holiday care for your fur baby. I will give your dog the love and attention it requires. Whether that be daily trips to the dog park, hikes, or just snuggles in bed. I do ask that all dogs are house trained, but would be willing to take on a puppy if it is the right fit. Although I don’t have a fenced in yard, I live in a very dog friendly community and would also be taking any high energy dogs to the park daily or more if needed. On top of the play they would receive, your dog will be loved and “spoiled” like my own. I want your dog to be excited about their stay with me so that it makes being away from mom and dad that much easier. In addition to the love and play time your pup would receive, I am willing to send your dog home freshly bathed or fully groomed for an additional fee.
“Roscoe loved his day with Rebecca and Ian but mostly Lui. Rebecca and Ian provided regular updates and photos and they will flexible with my schedule for pickup and drop off. We will be scheduling additional day care dates!”
“Juliet was great for our little Mia. Our pup came home happy and tired and it was obvious she had a great day. Would highly recommend Juliet if your pet needs a place to stay.”
About: I have taken care of and had dogs all my life. I have cared for puppies all the way until senior dogs, and love them all the same. With experience administering medications via oral and injections, I can ensure your pet's health needs are met. Caring for animals is something I have a deep love for and I look forward to taking care of yours! I am currently working part-time which leaves for plenty of time and attention for you dog. I find great enjoyment in being active and would love to incorporate your dog into as much or as little of it as they need. I currently have a pet free home with plenty of space indoors as well as outdoors. It is very important to me that your dog has a safe and happy stay.
“Daniel is an amazing dog sitter! He is kind, responsive, and made my dog feel comfortable from the very start. I highly recommend Daniel and would book with him again! 12/10!’”
“Our dog Ira loved spending the day at Hillary’s house. When I dropped of Ira, I could tell the she was attentive to his needs and her dog interacted well with him (even though he is much smaller). I will certainly use Hillary again for dog sitting!”
“Jean was so kind to let us book a last-minute daycare appointment, which we greatly appreciated. She took great care of our Jojo-doggy. She has a great setup for taking care of fur babies, which she seems to enjoy doing. We highly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages and breeds throughout my whole life. Currently have one lady rescue dog who loves dogs and one girl cat! Currently available 24/7 please message for more information on schedule! I have a reliable car and high level of safety and caution behind the wheel. Open to in home / boarding - will need to meet pet first. We have plenty of space & currently have 1 dog and 1 cat. Would need to confirm Pet is okay with both. Dog & Cat
About: Dogs are some of my favorite things in the whole world. I’ve been caring for them since I was 12, helping friends and family with walks and overnight sitting. I have two dogs of my own, but now that I’m away at school, I need some more dog time! I’m excited to meet new puppies to walk, play with, and love like my own! I'm currently a full time student but I set my own schedule so I have time for walks and quick check-ins. I'm available most days of the week, most times of day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel secure and happy while we’re together. Walks are always on leash, and I’m extra careful around other dogs and distractions. You can trust that your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and playtime, along with a calm, caring environment. I treat every puppy as if they were my own, keeping you updated with messages so you always know how they’re doing!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Long before joining Rover, I was trusted by friends, family, and neighbors when they needed a pet sitter or dog walker. I love getting to know each pet's personality and making sure they feel safe and loved. As someone with my own fur-babies, I know how it feels to be away from them! I understand that everyone and their pets are different! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I'm able to give pets plenty of care and attention throughout the day. Whether that's walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I'm happy to fit their routine into mine. Growing up in a cat-dog household, I have experience with both! I always prioritize keeping their routine as normal as possible by carefully following feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions provided by you. I am happy to keep owners updated with messages and cute/silly photos!
“Keslee was available to walk our dogs last minute (we requested the night before) she responded quickly and communicated well. She did a great job with our three crazy pups.”
“David was very flexible and responsive, and responsible with his walks. We really appreciated several schedule changes that he accommodated. We would definitely have David watch our pup again!”
“Jacob is incredible! Always reliable and quick to respond. I love that I always get photos on the walks and that his pup gets to join! Highly recommended!”
About: I grew up with dogs and currently have one of my own! I have experience taking care of puppies & senior dogs as well as in-between. I live in a very dog-friendly townhome in a friendly neighborhood in Millcreek. Prefer dogs that are friendly with others, and will fully respect boundaries to keep everyone safe! I currently work from home during the week and also available on the weekends if needed. Take dogs outside every 3-4 hours for walk and potty. I live in a very walkable, dog friendly neighborhood. I have ample space in my townhome and also have a crate available if ever needed.
“I am happy to have found Courtney! Since first encounter I knew she was a trustful and reliable person. Milo right away connected with her and wanted to play. Thank you so much Courtney!”
“Tyson is fantastic and incredibly accommodating. It takes my fur balls a moment to warm up, but by the second walk, he's already got it all figured out.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid and love to spend any free time I have helping people with their animal needs! I am flexible during my time off from work and can make many times work during the week! I am busy some weekends, but mostly free. I have a big backyard and a great neighborhood for walking and playing with animals! My roommates are great with animals and love to have them around.
“Carlos is consistent and so kind with our puppy. He communicates with progress and suggestions to make Diesel's walks more engaging and provide learning opportunities. We appreciate Carlos being part of Diesel's crew!”
About: I love the dogs more then anything!! Taking my dog for a walk is one of my favorite things to do and I’m hoping to assist others that aren’t able to walk their dogs as much as they would like. I am super active and I love to go to the park. I live right across the street from sugarhouse park which is the perfect place to take dogs! I often watch my in-laws dogs and they get the royal treatment and don’t want to leave here! I can’t wait to meet some new pups! I currently only work three days a week so I have a lot of extra time on my hands and I also love to stay active. I’m always at the park with my dog or taking it on walks or playing with him. I am available to walk dogs Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Sunday all day or Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday in the mornings! I also have a dog stroller for older dogs that still want to have some fun and get out but can’t quite keep up! I am super cautious with dogs and keeping them safe and on leash at all times. I’ve learned some great training techniques as well with dogs. I always like to make them feel comfortable. I have a yorkie which is a high anxiety dog so I know how to deal with that very well. He also has pancreatitis so I know how important staying on a healthy diet is for all dogs! We also live right next to a park which is amazing for morning walks and a dog park that is great for those social dogs!
“Eric is awesome. He admitted that he was newer to Rover but made up for it with extra effort and dedication. I appreciate the time that he took with my doggo and kept me updated on how things went. I highly recommend Eric and will continue to be a repeat customer of his for as long as he is available. Thank you Eric!”
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.
