About: Hi, I’m Michelle — lifelong dog lover, outdoor enthusiast, and experienced pet parent offering small-pack, personalized dog boarding in Salt Lake City.

I take my own dog to the dog park several times a week and happy to go on long walks and take your animals as well! I have an 2 bedroom apartment so lots of space for animals to roam, get settled and meet their needs. I can make in home visits anytime and help create a schedule that works for what your baby expects!

“Heather was awesome!! We’ve only had our dog for a few months so we were incredibly nervous to leave him at home when we went out of town for a family function. I hired Heather to do 4x/day check-ins, and she totally went above and beyond! First off, she took the job with almost no notice since our original arrangement fell through at the last minute, which was huge. When we were out, she spent hours hanging out and walking with our boy, and even stayed the night at the house with him of her own volition. She sent plenty of pictures every day so we never had a doubt that he was living his best life, I think he was a little depressed when she left. She was extremely communicative and asked questions when she wasn’t 100% sure on something, so we felt completely at ease being thousands of miles away and knowing our that our boy was getting the care and attention he needed. Bottom line, as much as I would love to keep Heather on retainer as our exclusive dog sitter, it’s my moral imperative to recommend her to as many people as possible because she’s completely awesome :)”

“Austin was on time every day to take care of my dog. He sent great pictures and asked good questions. My dog was at ease with him, and he made me feel safe. Thank you for caring so much!”

About: I've been a dedicated pet sitter for 7 years, during which I've cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, from quick drop-ins for a day to providing in-home care for up to a month. I have a knack for training puppies and providing special care for senior dogs, ensuring each pet's unique needs are met. As an avid runner, I'm also thrilled to take dogs on invigorating runs, making sure they get plenty of exercise and fun. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to play with and care for your pups. As a full-time college student with most of my classes being online, I have the flexibility to be available for pet walking, drop-in visits, and in-home care. This flexible schedule allows me to dedicate ample time to ensure your pets receive the love and attention they deserve. Your pets' well-being is my priority, and I'm committed to providing them with the best care possible. At my home, I have two dogs with opposite personalities: one is crate-trained, and the other roams freely, so I'm well-versed in accommodating different pet preferences and routines. This experience ensures that I can create a comfortable environment for your pet, whether they prefer a structured or more relaxed setting. In my clients' homes, I maintain the pet's usual routine to minimize stress. This includes feeding, walking, playing, and providing any special care they might need. As an avid runner, I'm also happy to take your dog on energizing runs if requested, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and enjoyment. It's important to note that for safety, dogs must wear a harness when running with me. I approach pet care with dedication and empathy, treating each pet as if they were my own. Clear communication with clients ensures that their pets receive personalized attention and care that meets their specific requirements. My goal is to provide a seamless and loving experience for your pets, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for at all times.
“Desiree was amazing! I can not leave a better review. She took care of our dog, and our cat, and both took to her like they’ve know her their whole lives. She was very attentive to my type A attention to detail. And she gave us tons of photos. I hope she can watch them or check in again soon!”

About: 🐾 Welcome to Our Pack! Need a vacation for your pet while you’re on vacation? We’re a military family in Niceville that treats every dog like they’re part of the family—not a customer. My wife and I have spent our entire lives around animals, from tiny Shih Tzus to giant Great Danes, and just about everything in between. Our home is full of love, attention, belly rubs, and the occasional debate over who gets to spoil your dog the most. We have two animal-loving kids who are always excited to make new furry friends, plus our resident welcoming committee: 🐶 Winnie – our playful Boston Terrier who thinks every dog is her new best friend. If your pup wants to play winnie is their bestest bud. If your pup is unsure and wants space, winnie senses that and is quite ok cuddling on the couch. 🐱 Luggage – our cat who is convinced he’s actually a dog and happily hangs out with everyone. 🐱 Benny Franks - our curious guy who loves to sit up high and supervise the fun! Whether your pet loves playing in the yard, lounging on the couch, going for walks, or simply getting extra attention, we’ll tailor their stay to what makes them happiest. Why pet parents choose us: ✅ Active-duty military family you can trust ✅ Experienced with small, medium, and large breeds ✅ Comfortable with puppies, seniors, and special routines ✅ Frequent photo and video updates ✅ Safe, loving family environment ✅ Plenty of playtime, attention, and cuddles We understand how stressful it can be leaving your pet behind. That’s why we treat every dog as if they were our own and keep you updated so you can enjoy your trip knowing they’re having a great time too. By the time you pick them up, don’t be surprised if they act like they’ve been on vacation too. We can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐾 We both work full time but Pina is off Mondays and I can always come home during lunch to take care of the puppers. Someone’s home by 3pm and we’re available almost every weekend. I have a huge fenced in 1/2 acre back yard with plenty of area to run and let out energy. Plus Winnie loves to run and play with dogs of every size! We’ll play soccer with the pups and get plenty of fetch and walks in! I can crate the pups if necessary and have plenty of healthy treats!

“Rebecca has an easy going and gentle disposition. My dogs seemed to mesh well with her. She was punctual with communication and updates. A joy to work with!”

“Had both a great drop in and a great walk experience with Will. Good communication, both our dogs warmed up to him quickly and he sent us photos on both his visits to our house. Thanks!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Valparaiso
First time using Rover, and Astrid was wonderful watching our puppy while we were gone for a night! She really explained how everything worked and was really patient when it came to our potty-training puppy. She took so many photos and in-depth reports on her visit, which we loved getting while we were away. Would definitely recommend!

Once again, William saved the day and eased my anxiety! He is hand down THE best pet sitter/walker/BFF to my two dogs! He is so kind and caring and such a great communicator. He thinks of all the things I forgot and take amazing care of my 2 high maintenance dogs. I never worried the entire day (10 hours I was gone) and normally I would be racked with worry and guilt. William is my favorite person in Florida!

Esperanza and Jeffrey are life-savers! We have the hardest time finding a dogsitter with the patience and experience to take care of our special needs pups. They have done a fantastic job building a relationship with our anxious girl and reactive/fearful boy. Our usually difficult dogs have been happy and stress-free under their watch, and it is evident in their behavior and actually eating their food while we are away. Jeffrey and Esperanza always send detailed updates with pictures, and have been flexible with us as our plans have changed. If you have a unique situation and/or difficult pups, we cannot recommend them enough!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Valparaiso stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Valparaiso 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
