“Spencer was great with our senior pittie. He worked with her some on her separation anxiety. He arrived on time and left on time. He is a gem of a sitter and we look forward to having him back.”

About: I have had a love for animals since I can remember. I have 10 years of experience watching pets for family and friends. I am comfortable with providing medications if needed. I’m currently working full time from home, which allows me flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for pet and house sitting 7 days a week including holidays (pending schedule). I have a reliable vehicle and flexible schedule that allows me to travel to clients homes to care for their pets in an environment that they are most comfortable. I’m happy to stay overnight if needed.

About: Pet friendly and love all kinds of animals. We are a home that loves any animal and our kids love having dogs around and show them so much love. Our kids are very well behaved around animals and get along with dogs very well. Someone is always home to watch and care for our furry friends. Love and care is always going to be available for your loved pets. Have a fenced in patio if needed and allow owners to bring their pets crates if they would like. Safety and security is at the top of my priorities to make sure your pet is cared for.

About: I absolutely love dogs and any animal really, and have over 10 years of pet care experience. I can help with puppies in training and comfortable with senior pups and have some experience with administrating some medications. I will love and care for your pup(s) like my own! I currently work part time close to home making my schedule is very flexible as I am home most of the time. I’m available weekdays and most weekends. I have a very large fenced yard with plenty of grass. My house has a built in doggy door for those pups who can let themselves in and out as much as they’d like. (There is also a back door I’m happy to let them in and out too!) I have a 10 year old lab named Charlie who is very mild tempered and gets along with anyone. We love going on walks and playing in the backyard, so your pup will be well exercised and played with!

About: I provide calm, home-based dog boarding designed to feel less like traditional boarding and more like staying with someone your dog already knows and loves. My guests get plenty of attention, affection, playtime, outdoor breaks, naps, and cuddles while they’re here. I intentionally keep things small and personal, caring for one dog or household at a time. My goal is simple: every dog in my home should feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Dogs have been a huge part of my life for almost 30 years. I spent about 15 years fostering and helping rehabilitate abused and neglected dogs, volunteered as a dog specialist in high-stress shelter environments, and completed animal behavior and handling training through Best Friends Animal Society and Salt Lake County Animal Services. That experience taught me that dogs aren’t one-size-fits-all. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and figuring out what makes them feel happiest and most at home. Most importantly, I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. I want you to leave knowing they’re safe, loved, understood, and probably being spoiled a little more than they’ll admit when you get home. I keep our daily routine flexible based on the needs of the pups staying with me. Energetic and ready to go? There will be plenty of walks, outdoor time, play, and opportunities to burn off that energy. More of a couch potato? Laid-back days, cozy naps, and couch snuggles are some of my favorite pastimes! Because I intentionally keep the number of dogs in my care exclusive, I'm able to get to know each pup's personality and make sure they get the right balance of activity, attention, play, and downtime. Not every dog wants to do the same thing, and that's perfectly okay. I work part-time outside the home Monday through Friday and am typically away for about 4–6 hours during the day. Before I leave, pups get plenty of time for breakfast, attention, and a potty break, and once I'm home, we're right back to our normal routine of outdoor time, play, lounging, and lots of attention. To work around my weekday schedule, Monday through Friday drop-offs and pick-ups are available before 9:30 AM or after 4:30 PM. Weekend drop-off and pick-up times are more flexible and can be arranged individually. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority. There are no resident pets or young children in the home, which helps create a quieter, lower-stress environment for dogs who prefer a little more peace and consistency. My family are all dog people, so pups are always surrounded by people who genuinely love and enjoy them. We have a fenced patio/run where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, stretch their legs, and take easy potty breaks throughout the day. I also have a secure lead setup in the front yard where dogs who enjoy the outdoors can safely relax, sunbathe on the outdoor bed, sniff around, and enjoy some fresh air while supervised. We’re also surrounded by some of Daybreak’s best dog-friendly parks, walking trails, and green space, including areas near the lake, which means lots of safe, leashed walks, fresh air, sniffing, and enrichment. For their safety and comfort while I’m away from home, boarding dogs must be kennel-trained and comfortable spending a few hours relaxing in their kennel. I have kennels available for small and medium-sized dogs. If your pup requires a kennel larger than medium, please plan to bring an appropriately sized kennel for their stay. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I require a meet & greet for all new clients to make sure we are a great fit before booking.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a kid. My own pets, friends pets and, family pets. I have a calm personality that tends to make them feel safe and secure, and I can provide lots of love and snuggles to make sure that they feel taken care of. I am currently a stay at home, mom. I am home every day except for routine errands and or appointments for my kids. There will be plenty of bathroom breaks, walks and belly rubs. I have a large fenced yard and a pup of my own who loves to play. We are also able to crate your dog if that is preferred or they are welcome to snuggle up on a dog bed next to mine.

About: I have cared for other people’s dogs for the past 20 years. I’ve pet sit, groomed and walked. My friends and family call me the dog whisperer. When I care for others pets they are treated like my own which means everything is about them! I’m available seven days a week because I do not work. I can dedicate my time to your pets any day or time you need. I am able to come to your home and care for your pet. I do not offer pet care in my own home due to the fact that I have three geriatric dogs myself so at this time I offer to check in on your pet during the day. I will feed, walk, give meds, or any special care that they may require. I will spend lots of time playing and loving on them.

About: Looking for someone dependable to give your dog a great walk while you're busy? I offer attentive, one-on-one dog walking in the Sandy/Salt Lake City area, a couple of days a week, so I can give every dog my full focus rather than rushing through a big roster. I treat every walk like it's my own, plenty of time to sniff, explore, and burn energy, plus a quick update with photos after each walk so you know exactly how it went. Whether your dog needs a calm stroll around the block or a more active outing, I'll match the pace to what they need. I'm reliable, punctual, and easy to communicate with, if plans change, you'll hear from me right away. New to the platform but not new to caring for animals attentively and consistently. I have a flexible schedule and can be available mornings and evenings 7 days a week in the sandy/holladay/Millcreek areas I work full time but have a flexible schedule so I can come at varying times. I can do mornings and evenings and even mid day visits depending on my work schedule. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I always confirm gate/door locks before and after every visit, keep dogs securely leashed at all times during walks, and never leave pets unsupervised around hazards like open doors, stairs, or unfamiliar animals. For cats, I double-check that windows and doors stay closed during visits so there's no chance of an escape. I pay close attention to each pet's individual behavior and stress signals, and I'll reach out immediately if anything seems off, whether that's a change in appetite, energy, or mood. In an emergency, I'll contact you right away and follow whatever instructions you've left for vet care. I also keep a close eye on the details that matter: correct food portions, medication schedules if applicable, and any specific routines you've shared with me, So your pets day stays as normal as possible in your absence

About: I’ve grown up with dogs & cats my entire life; they are truly my greatest passion. My girl, a Puggle named Bug, was my entire heart and my whole world for nearly 18 years. I had to say goodbye to her a couple of months ago and my heart is still shattered. I would love to take care of your babies the way I took care of my own. I had Bug from when she was a puppy until her very old lady years that required an EXORBITANT amount of specialized care (meds, shots, diapers, medicated baths, etc.) You name it - I’ve dealt with it. Before my girl got sick and I had to give full-time attention to her, I was my friends/family’s go-to pet sitter for their babies. No one will take better, more thorough and loving care of your pets than me. I can’t wait to kiss them and spoil them with love ❤️ And, as a fellow helicopter dog mom, I welcome the pets who come with a 20 page instruction manual, with specifics from everything regarding feeding rituals, to poop/potty specifications! Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns! I was recently laid off, so my schedule is wide open! Also, when I am working, I work fully remote. So, even when my employment situation changes, I will still be home to care for your babies. I have a fully fenced in backyard and a big house with lots of beds, couches and dog beds/blankets! I also have lots of dog toys and just about anything else you can think of for dog/cat care (crates, leashes, bowls, etc.) My boyfriend recently moved in with his dog, Jasper. Jasper is extremely mild mannered and exceptionally well-trained. He is a 45lb Border Collie/Blue Heeler mix. If your pooch does not do well with other dogs, I will be able to keep your babies and Jasper 100% separate thanks to the layout of my home. But if you have a pooch who loves to play, they will get along great with Jasper!

Faith was great with communicating with me and went above and beyond during her visits. She’s also a great photographer and got some pictures that added major wellness points for me!

About: I have had dogs most of my life. I’ve had experience with young puppies to seniors with limited mobility. I’ve worked with all sorts of temperaments and personalities. I am self-employed from home, so it is very easy for me to plan my day around your fur baby’s needs. I can be very flexible. Whether in my home or yours, the safety of your fur baby comes first. My home has a fully fenced yard. I will not accept more than one dog at any time to stay in my home. When visiting your home, your home and property will be treated with the upmost respect.

Katherine was excellent! She took such good care of our kitty. She has lots of experience with cats and even gave me some advice on a plant I wasn’t aware could cause problems for him. Our shy boy warmed to her right away. She goes above and beyond. I definitely hope to use her next time we need a sitter.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - West Jordan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Jordan is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 4,449 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Jordan. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Jordan. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
