Personalized care for your dog or cat - Sandy Hills
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Sandy Hills
“Rachel was amazing. Maggie immediately loved being there. She could go outside anytime she liked through the dog door to the fenced in yard. Highly recommended.”
“We’ve left our dog with multiple River sitters and Jennifer has been BY FAR the best! So many pictures, lots of dog walks and yummy treats for my dog. I felt like she was treating my pup just like she would treat her own dog-he was spoiled and loved on the whole time we were gone. We are absolutely going to be repeat customers!”
“Nancy has watched my dog a couple times now. She has taken good care of him. She and her family are loving and kind. My dog seems happy when we’ve picked him up from their house. I will book with her again.”
“Seini was absolutely amazing and the sweetest! It was the first time I had boarded my pup and she made me feel very calm about the whole experience. My pup is on the older side and seini made sure all her needs were met. I would highly recommend!”
“Evette was so wonderful. Our little dog was spoiled and loved how much she knows about dogs. She sent multiple pictures a day and so quick to respond. Beyond grateful for her and her opening her home to Roo. Thank you so much!”
“Henry had an amazing time with Robyn. Their dog was an amazing playmate and they sent an adorable photo of Henry settling in and having a good time. Robyn was also very quick to respond to all communication and worked with me very nicely when I messed up the pickup time and asked to swing by earlier. Great experience for all parties.”
“Alfie had so much fun on his overnight with Nancy! The big backyard was great for him to run around in. She has a strong knowledge of labs too which made us comfortable leaving him with her.”
“After years and years of having different people watch our Raylan, we finally found a place where they are in tune to her and really care about her! The communication and large quantity of photos we had access to during her stay was such a nice touch. I think Charity and Erik are the best in SLC for sure, if you want someone attentive, caring, thoughtful, and in tune with your pet, this is the place! Also super accommodating for pick up and drop off times! Raylan had a great time! Thank you!!!”
“Katherine was really nice and wonderful to our 5 month old Rubie. She was able to helped her and gave me some advise since Rubie is our first family dog. She even gave Rubie a bath! I highly recommend her and would book her again. Thank you Katherine!”
“Lyndi was amazing with our baby while we were gone. This was our first time using Rover and immediately felt comfortable reading her reviews and seeing she had repeat clients. She sent photos and updates daily and kept us up-to-date on his interactions with the other fur babies in the house. He was such a good boy and Lyndi was always excited for his presence. Will definitely be making this his second forever home while we are gone.”
“Beth was great with our Velcro dog! Lots of love and threw long walks everyday. Great communication, sent lots of pics and videos. Will definitely ask her to watch Carmen again!”
“Curtis is wonderful! We've left Ranger with him several times now and he's become our go-to sitter. Ranger always has a great time, and Curtis genuinely gets his quirky personality — the silly things Ranger does don't phase him one bit. We always return knowing Ranger was safe, loved, and well cared for. Highly recommend Curtis to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust!”
“Excellent dog sitter! My dog stayed at her house and received wonderful care. Great communication, updates, and a welcoming environment. I would happily use her services again.”
“Jennifer was a great find to care for our pup. She spent quality time during a meet and greet & found her home and yard a comfortable relaxing environment. Her dogs were great companions for ours and appreciate the play and walks/hike. Communication was great & daily pictures were appreciated. Would highly recommend.”
“Matti was wonderful with my two fur babies. Sent updates and pictures every day. As a lover of my babies and had the common worry of thinking my babies were thinking I abandoned them I really appreciate her reassurance towards me! I will definitely book again! Thank you Matti”

“Alaina was communicative, friendly, and attentive to our cat. We’d definitely book with her again! She went above and beyond and even watered one of our plants that needed some love.”
“Hannah took such great care of our lil Zoey lady. I loved seeing and hearing about Zoey warming up to her so quickly. Always makes my heart happy and gives me peace of mind.”
About: I have had cats and kittens my whole life on the farm. Grew up the rest of my life with cats. I love their independence and soft nose kisses. I understand that cats need patience, calm energy, and respect for their humans and themselves. I am comfortable with feeding schedules and meds. I pay close attention to behavior changes and always want the animal to feel safe and secure.
“Fantastic communication, my cats seemed to love her, she was respectful of my house and kept everything very clean! She was also very flexible and understanding when I had a family emergency and had to adjust the dates of my trip.”
“Sarah was so amazing! She was super attentive to my cat's wellbeing and sent lots of pictures so I was never worried. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Beth was awesome with our cat! She provided a ton of videos, and really seemed to try to get to know what she likes. Mel seemed like she had so much fun on their visits!”
“Thanks for taking terrific care of our cat, fish and hamster during our 2 week vacation. All critters seem happy and healthy and your daily updates along the way were much appreciated. We had been stressed about leaving for so long as this was our first big vaca since getting a young cat and your responsiveness and care really made this easy. Hope to have you take care of our critters again in the future.”
“Oakley took good care of my maine coon and rag doll cats Dolly and Yuki. She slept over at the house and when I came back the house was clean, organized and the cats were happy. Thank you 🙏🏼”
“Kelly and Brian were fantastic! We were especially nervous to go on a trip, now that our kitty is new to taking daily medication, but Kelly and Brian were able to administer and keep her schedule while we were away! Great communication, and plenty of photos.”
“Lyndi was super with our senior cats. We got lots of pics and videos. We were delayed getting home and she was able to add on a day and make sure our kitties were OK. We will definitely use her again.”
“Kira is amazing. This is the 2nd time I have had her care for my 2 cats. My cats love the attention she gives them and she kept me updated everyday on their wellbeing. Kira will always be my first choice when my cats need to be cared for when I am on vacation. 😊😊😊😊 Thanks again Kira!!”
“Nataliia is such a wonderful pet sitter! She is always so attentive to our kitties, gives them lots of love and attention. One my kitties had a cut on his chin before our trip and she went above and beyond to take pictures and check on it daily for us to make sure there were no signs of infection. We are so grateful and relieved to know theyre in good hands while we are away!”
“Meisha did an amazing job caring for our cat Baxter. She is a reliable, communicative sitter. Meisha sent photos and updates at every drop-in and was easy to get a hold of if we had a question. We definitely plan to hire Meisha when we travel again in the future.”
“This was my first time using the drop-in visit service for my kitties and I was a little skeptical, but Ashlie quickly turned me into a fan! This young lady is very attentive, punctual, responsible, responsive and loves what she does! She even got my problem-cat (kitty with issues) to eat and come to her, which is something I even have problems doing. If you don't want to disrupt your pets lives by moving them to a kennel when you have to be away from home, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND using Ashlie to take care of them. I will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“Jaina is absolutely amazing. This is the second time that she has cared for my cats and they LOVE her. I would definitely recommend Jaina to anyone who wants to ensure their pets are cared for.”
“Alecia was great with Oliver and provided wonderful updates with pictures and fun descriptions of the days activities. Oliver seemed to love her visits.”
“Sophie did a wonderful job checking in on Cady and providing her with company and loves! She went above and beyond taking care of all her needs, we knew she was in good hands.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Sandy Hills
“Pippin LOVES Patrick! Everytime we are getting close and in the neighborhood, Pippin gets super excited and starts "dancing". I get regular updates from Patrick that come with really cute pictures of my sweet boy. Patrick is very nice and very flexible with pick up times. Two days in a row were late pick ups and he was very understanding! Patrick is a great choice for your doggo!”
“Jennifer was soo nice! She took our pup echo last minute and we couldnt be happier. Tons of pics and videos. Echo had a blast with the other pups in the house. Thank you, Jennifer!!”
“Curtis and Jennifer were awesome with our dog. Sophie had never been to a doggie day care before and Curtis and Jennifer communicated with us all day long and made us feel at peace. I would highly recommend them both!”
“Cannot recommend Silvana enough! She is fantastic with my pup and I almost think he likes her more than me. She is very caring and attentive. She also sends picture/video updates throughout the day so you can see how much fun your pup is having. Your companion will surely be pampered and in great hands with Silvana.”
“Evette accepted my last minute reservation and a quickly-arranged Meet & Greet very graciously. Even though her location is out of my way, our first daycare booking was proof positive to me that the extra travel is worth having Evette care for my fur pup. Instructions were followed closely and she kept in touch with updates and a cute photo. I'm glad I didn't pass up the opportunity to go out of my way for such good caregiving.”
“Mayne was very nice and accommodating. I had a very last-minute request for her to book my husky for day care because I had to work away from home. This was the first time I've had someone other than family watch my fur babe, so I know he'd have a little separation anxiety, but I'd go back to her again! Her pup is sweet and got along with my boy. As soon as I got home, he was tuckered out and went right to bed. Thanks for looking after my baby, Mayne!”
“It's hard to evaluate a Rover experience based on just one stay so I will wait until there's a few more before I do. However I can say that Seini was professional in the Meet and Greet, and came across in the 2 times I met her, with a kind and affectionate regard for dogs. That means a lot to me, and I look forward to using her services in the future.”
“Jaina and her pups graciously accommodated us during a trip so that I could take care of some business without my dogs in tow. She was very patient with them in a new situation and place, and I appreciated the updates of them snoozing once they settled in.”
“Aly was great! We had a last minute booking, & she responded right away. We got such great photos & updates throughout the day, it looked like Harley was having so much fun! We would absolutely book again if were in the area!”
“My dog is eager walking in Matti’s door when I drop her off, which is an obvious sign to me that she enjoys her stays there! I am also so appreciative of accommodations with last-minute requests as my work schedule changes abruptly. Lastly, transparency is a priority for Matti and that’s huge for me. Highly recommend! :)”
“Amber was amazing with my golden retriever Zuko! She was able to get us in kinda last minute. She was very friendly and seemed to treat all the dogs like her own. Zuko was tired but happy after a day at doggy day care. Will for sure be taking my dog here from here on out.”
“Genny is terrific! I requested her services last min and lucky for Hank and I she was available! Hank had a great time with her dog and was very tired from playing. She sent pictures and had great communication. I recommend Genny completely and will have her watch Hank again.”
“Sage was wonderful to our dogs, Teddy and Bear!! They received much needed attention and care and loved playing with her dog! She sent pictures and updates and was attentive to their needs and behaviors. She was also very flexible with our chaotic schedule and easy to work with. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs at her home and felt confident they were treated wonderfully. Would definitely book with her again!”
“I am so happy I chose Sasha to watch my boy! Her and her family were the best! They were so sweet and sent lots of updates and photos throughout his stay which helped me feel at ease! My dog had so much fun. I would highly recommend her and would totally use her again in the future! ❤️ thanks Sasha!”

About: My family has been a dog owner family my entire life. I'm familiar with all types of dogs and I love them all. My current dog is 40 pounds and is crazy so I can work with that. On top of this, I have experience of over three years as a direct support professional, taking care of disabled adults. With an additional four months of experience in the dementia care. I am a very busy person and work a lot, but I am available on Wednesdays and Thursdays. And depending on the day I'm available either the evening or the morning. most dog sitting or walking/running will fit in my schedule as I'm already a very active person. I take a lot of time out of my day to work out and would love taking dogs on run/walks. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have leashes treats a crate and everything necessary for dog care. The yard is also very large so dogs will have lots of area to run around in.
“McKenzie has just started walking my dog. She has been great with her. She’s great with Communication, patience, kindness, and going the extra mile. My girl loves her. I can’t recommend McKenzie enough!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. Not a day has gone by that I've never been around a pet. I even take care of my friend's pets at college when I can! Pet care fits perfectly into my summer routine! I’m free to spend time with your pets, whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just giving them some love and attention. It’s the ideal way for me to enjoy my summer while taking care of your furry friends! I prioritize safety and trust by ensuring a calm, pet-friendly environment. Whether in your home or mine, I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and secure. I’m attentive to their needs and make sure they feel loved and safe while you’re away.
“Kelly is communicative, accommodating, and our fur babies love her! She always reaches out with questions or concerns if they should ever arise and that puts our mind at ease. We love and would recommend Kelly to anyone!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. I absolutely love it and I love all the animals I work with like my own. I’ve taken care of a variety of age groups, from puppies to seniors and am happy to adjust my care to fit them the best. Walking, feeding and playing with your pet is something I look forward to and I appreciate your trust to let me do so! I prioritize caring for your pet over anything else! Right now I’m between jobs so I will have lots of free time to spend with your pet. I am open to any kind of care but I thrive being hands on with the pet. I’ll spend my time petting, walking and even sharing a bed with the pet if that’s something that helps them sleep. I’ve dealt with anxious pets before so I’m happy to use what I’ve learned with your pet. Your pet is safe in my hands!
“Diane had excellent communication throughout the booking and made sure to give plenty of updates and pictures of my pups. My dogs were very well taken care of and I was completely at ease having Diane over their care! Highly recommended and will be booking again when the needs arise! Thank you!!!”
About: I take a steady, attentive approach to pet care—great for dogs that thrive on routine and patience. You can expect clear communication, on-time visits, and a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I am home pretty much all day every day, so I can give your pet the attention they need. I am available nights and weekends as well I have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get exercise under supervision. Whether your pet prefers being inside or outside, they’ll have plenty of space, attention, and a secure environment throughout their stay.
“Robin is truly exceptional. We had our meet and greet setup within 24 hours to meet our baby. She has been super dependable and trustworthy throughout the entire process. What stands out the most is how attentive she is to the animals she cares for.”
About: Pets are family, so your dog will come with us for school drop-offs, errands, walks, play-dates and park visits. My husband and I live with our 7-yo daughter and old indoor cat on a quiet cul-de-sac with great neighbors and lots of parks in short walking distance. We’re big on play-time, cuddles, walks, treats, and zoomies. I want to make your furbabies feel comfortable and safe in our home, and to make sure you know we’re doing our best to make sure your pets feel safe and happy. I like to send updates several times a day, along with lots of pictures and videos. For first-time fur-guests we always do a meet-and-greet before confirming a stay so you and your pet(s) meet us and our home. It helps your pet know they can feel safe with us and our space. We are a very family- and friend-orientated home so it’s extremely important our furry guests feel completely comfortable with us. I would love the chance to care for your family member. Please, serious inquiries only. I and my family take our responsibilities to you and your loved pets seriously and aim to build a trusting relationship with our clients. Daily schedule details: My husband and I both work from home so one of us will be home during the work week. On the weekends we make sure to never leave our fur guests alone for more than a few hours so we only take bookings when we don’t have a major family activity planned. Home details: Our backyard is fenced-in so pups are free to hang out in the backyard when we’re home, however we prefer to not leave doggies outside when we are gone. Pups are always welcome wherever we are in the house, the only place that’s out of bounds is the master bedroom and that is so our cat has a safe place just for himself.
“Talk about peace of mind! Sophie's first week with our dog was awesome. She's a natural problem solver when it comes to animal's needs. Every day, she sends a well thought-out summary of their play time and comments on observations any pet owner would want to know about. She's punctual, responsive, reliable, and super friendly. We're lucky to have her!”
“Gus and I love having Ashlie come see him! She checks in which helped my initial nerves of leaving him alone and is really helpful with scheduling. I really really recommend reaching out!”
“Natasha was great with Winnie. I unexpectedly need a dog walker last minute and Natasha came through. Very thankful for her promptness and kindness. Look forward to using her again.”
About: I used to worked with dogs at a recreation center (daycare and swimming). I also still regularly do in home dog sitting through that business. I have knowledge of dog behavior and am not scared of any breed. I regularly dog/cat sit for clients in their home. I also live with pets of my own, so I am constantly surrounded my animals. I spend as much quality time with pets as I can, by doing things like walking, petting, and doing other activities. I have a lot of fun dog sitting/walking, although, I am not scared to tell a dog/cat “No” if they are misbehaving.

Reliable, attentive, and dedicated to exceptional pet care. I work Tuesday-Friday from 8am-6pm. So early morning walks or evening walks on the weekdays mentioned would be ideal.

About: I volunteered for the Central California Labrador Retriever Rescue for about 6 years. I worked for a family friend for 4 years, watching, training, and bathing her 3 white labs. I worked for around 4 months at a Doggy Day Care Center in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina and have just recently moved to Utah for college! I would love to spend the day with your pets for whatever they may require. I currently work full-time but am able to come and go as I please from my job. When I am not at work I am usually home or at the park with my dog! I have grown up with dogs and my mom ran a Labrador rescue for many years so I am confident in my ability to take care of any pup! I take my dog for walks everyday and give her lots of pets as she usually hangs out with me whether I am watching tv or reading a book in my backyard!
About: It’s never fun leaving your animals behind, but I can make sure they are not bored in your absence. I have a huge fenced yard for them to run around in. I’ve owned dogs of different temperaments my whole life and have never met one I don’t like. I can spend the time doing whatever you’d like your dog to do, whether that’s just a walk around the neighborhood or a hike. Just make a request if there is special needs I’m sure I can accommodate to them. I’ll make sure your pets are satisfied throughout the day and not laying around getting all wound up. I hope you’ll let me enjoy the company of your furry friends while you’re busy working making sure they have a good life!

“Curtis is wonderful! We've left Ranger with him several times now and he's become our go-to sitter. Ranger always has a great time, and Curtis genuinely gets his quirky personality — the silly things Ranger does don't phase him one bit. We always return knowing Ranger was safe, loved, and well cared for. Highly recommend Curtis to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust!”
“Excellent dog sitter! My dog stayed at her house and received wonderful care. Great communication, updates, and a welcoming environment. I would happily use her services again.”

Her dogs were great companions for ours and appreciate the play and walks/hike. Communication was great & daily pictures were appreciated. Would highly recommend.”
“Mayne and her family took great care of my pup. Communication was quick and easy and we got lots of pictures! It was clear from those pictures that our dog felt at home with Mayne and her family. She was loved and cared for 100% during her stay. Can't recommend Mayne more, and we will definitely become one of her regulars!”
“Jessica took a great care of my dog Luna when we were on vacation. A multiple times a day she informed us how Luna is doing, her eating, sleeping and etc. She sent a lot of photos, where we could see how Luna enjoyed her stay; walking, playing, cuddling with Jessica and her family. The most importantly Luna did not show any stress or change in habits after she returned home. We definitely will recommend Jessica.”
“Silvana probably earned 6 stars. I have used several boarders from Rover and Silvana is the first that really made me feel like my puppy was truly taken care of. She provided multiple updates every day with pictures and videos. She started early in the morning and wrapped up at bedtime. I was completely at ease with how my little guy was doing the entire time. I didn’t have to wonder even for a moment about whether he was getting enough care, exercise, and attention. Thank you so much!”
“Lindsey sent me pictures everyday letting me know my doggo was safe and happy. I almost questioned how much Quinn wanted to come home. I'd have to say that takes alot with how spoiled she is at home. Thanks Lindsey for being a great sitter for Quinn!”
“Michelle and her family were so great with my pup I'm surprised she wanted to come back haha. I was sent pictures every day and I think Rhea enjoyed her vacation just as much as we did. Great communicator and nice family, Thanks again Michelle!”
“Meisha and Dani were wonderful! We were first time Rover users and needed to board our pup for 4 days. They made the process so smooth and we were immediately comfortable with them. Not to mention how absolutely great they were with our pup during his stay. They sent multiple updates and pics throughout the day and he clearly had an awesome time. He’s hard to wear out and he was asleep immediately in our car upon pickup! We will definitely be asking them to watch him again!!”
