House Sitting Young Haven Circle

“Dhana is fantastic! She did laundry, cleaned and took such good care of my dogs and bunnies. She even brought her dog over to play, so my dogs have an extra friend. Wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!!!”

“Aleya was the best Rover sitter we’ve had. She was attentive, communicative, and reliable. It was obvious that she very carefully read our detailed dog care and house guide. Regarding the dogs, both our senior dogs took to her quickly. They loved the overnight snuggles she offered and we loved the regular updates she provided us with. Regarding the house, it was so nice to come home to a tidy home. While we were away, a Blue Apron box arrived and Aleya was attentive enough to message us asking if we wanted her to unpack it in the fridge. It was a very positive experience working with her all around!”

“I was very stressed about leaving my cat and dog with a sitter for the first time but Danielle eased all my stresses with updates and pictures every day. Our animals seemed comfortable and happy in all of the pictures. She left our house immaculate. When we had to make a last minute change to our plans, Danielle was very easy to work with to accommodate the change. She also responded to messages quickly. I would recommend Danielle to anyone and will definitely use her services again. Thank you, Danielle!!!!”

Chelsea D.

“Claire was a great house-sitter! She was prompt, flexible and loved our beloved dog Scamp. She communicated with us daily. We would hire her again.”

Cathy C.

“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.”

About: I grew up with multiple dogs, have provided paid dog care for 10 years, and currently have my own 8-year-old dog, so caring for pups has been part of my life since childhood. My mom is a professional dog trainer, and I've picked up a lot from her over the years about reading dog behavior and body language. I'm comfortable with anxious or shy dogs and know how to help them feel safe. I'm also confident giving medications when needed. I'm an active person who loves going for walks, and I like bringing dogs along when possible — so your pup won't just be sitting around, they'll get plenty of exercise and attention too. I am a full-time Master of Social Work student at the University of Utah. I am available for morning pet car every day of the week. I am available for evening pet care Mon, Tues, Fri, Sat, and Sun. I am available for midday drop ins and care Fri-Sun. Dogs get let out 1st thing in the morning, 1st thing when I return home from being out, and last thing before I go to bed. When I am home I respond to physical behaviors and vocal communication, defaulting to a potty break every few hours. Dogs get at least one physical outing a day. For both dogs and cats, I take time to be restful around the house so they can chill near me and/or cuddle and receive attention.

About: I don’t just provide basic pet care - I take the time to understand each dog as an individual. My background has taught me how to read body language, respect boundaries, and build trust with dogs who may need extra patience or support. I’m comfortable maintaining detailed routines, administering oral medications, supporting senior or recovering pets, and providing the calm, attentive care that helps dogs feel secure. With a lifetime around animals and hands-on animal welfare experience, I bring both compassion and practical knowledge to every visit. Animals are already a meaningful part of my everyday life. I naturally incorporate pet care into my routine through outdoor time, activity, patience, and connection. I enjoy getting outside, staying active, and creating enriching experiences for animals, whether that’s a walk around the neighborhood, playtime, mental stimulation, or simply providing companionship. My goal is to make your pet feel like their normal routine continues - even when you’re away. I believe pets are most comfortable when they can stay in the environment they know and love. For in-home care, my priority is maintaining your pet’s normal routine while providing a safe, calm, and trustworthy presence in their space. I treat every home and animal with the same respect and care I would want for my own - following your instructions closely, respecting your home, and paying attention to the small details that help your pet feel secure.

“Brad has watched my pups a few different times and he’s great. He’s incredibly detailed and took great care of my pups and home. If you’re looking for an excellent dog sitter, look no further.”

About: Hello! My name is Oliver, and it would be a privilege to care for your pet(s)! I am currently a first year medical student at the University of Utah, and I live in the East Bench neighborhood of Salt Lake. I'm relatively new to Rover but grew up alongside dogs/cats in Montana and have several years of experience sitting for the pets of friends and family. My school obligations this year leave me with availability to check on pets at least every 4 hours from Thursday evening through Monday evening, and I won't take a job unless I'm sure I can provide the most attentive care possible according to your animal's needs. Please don't hesitate to reach out if I can help hold down your fort while you're away for the weekend! I work Monday through Friday, and am able to leave to check in on pets multiple times throughout the day if needed. If your pet requires daily exercise, I am happy to take them running/walking in the morning and/or evening I will diligently follow whatever instructions or stipulations you have for your pet's care. I am also happy to stay in your home if you would like, and can manage any basic household needs you may have, such as plant watering, trash take-out, etc.

“Zoe stayed at our house and took fabulous care of Finn while we were on an Alaskan cruise. She sent pictures and updates of Finn daily. He always looked happy & well taken care of. It was great to have her watch him. He’s a big cuddle bug & loved to cuddle with Zoe. Our house was just as clean as it was when we left it. Zoe even offered to wash sheets & towels before we got home. Will definitely book Zoe again next time we go on vacation.”

About: My husband, Alejandro, and I have been caring for our own dog, Nala, for the past 6 years and 7 months. We completely understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. Caring for her has given us hands-on experience with daily routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure she feels safe, comfortable, and loved. We are patient, responsible, and caring people who genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. We love working as a team to care for pets, making sure they always have company, attention, and plenty of love. We know that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and we are happy to adapt to their individual needs to help them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Our goal is to care for every dog as if they were our own, giving them a safe environment so you can have complete peace of mind. I work 100% remotely from home, which allows me to be with the dogs throughout the day. They won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll be able to give them plenty of attention, potty breaks, and companionship. My schedule is flexible and my husband also works from home most of the days, so this allows us to follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care they may need. We understand how important consistency is for pets, and we’ll do our best to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. We love in a small, clean, pet-friendly apartment in a quiet neighborhood. While we don’t have a yard, we live less than 5 minutes from Sugar House Park, where we take our own dog every day for long walks, exercise, and plenty of time to explore. Any dog staying with us will enjoy regular walks, outdoor time, and lots of attention. We believe that supervised walks and enrichment are a great way to keep dogs happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated, and we’ll make sure your pup gets the exercise and care they need while they’re with us.

About: I’ve been house-sitting and caring for friends’ pets for a little over eight years. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I enjoy spending time with them and keeping them comfortable while their owners are away. Please note: My friendly, well-socialized 21-pound Yorkie-poo, Tivoli, accompanies me on all house-sitting stays. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I only accept overnight bookings with dogs who can comfortably share their home with another dog. I’m a full-time middle school teacher, so I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, with lots more flexibility during school breaks and summer. I love getting to know the pets I care for and making sure they feel happy and comfortable while their people are away. I’m also happy to send photos and updates! Tell me a little about your pet! What do they love? What are their routines and funny little quirks? I’d also like to know about any special needs or anything that might make them anxious. For overnight stays, it’s helpful to know how they get along with other dogs and how they do when left alone.

“Madison is heaven sent! The sweetest, most reliable and trustworthy pup baby sitter. I had to travel and she kept me up to date with sending me updates on the pups and took the cutest pics to make the separate anxiety a little less stressful for the family and the pup babies. I have already arranged our next appointment for my next trip. I highly recommend Madison.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with a beloved German Shepherd, and since then, I’ve spent years house sitting and dog walking for family, friends, and neighbors! I’m experienced with both dogs and cats—plus I cared for my own freshwater aquarium for many years, so I’m great with fish, too! Because my current apartment doesn't allow pets, I don't have any of my own—which means your fur baby gets my undivided love and attention! Working a hybrid schedule gives me fantastic flexibility during the week, and I treat every pet I care for just like family. Working remotely two days a week gives me plenty of flexibility to cater to your pet's personal routine! As long as we coordinate ahead of time, I’m happy to adjust my day to match your dog's feeding, exercise, and attention needs! I love establishing regular, reliable schedules to build long-term trust with both you and your furry family members! While I don't offer boarding or host pets in my home due to apartment restrictions, I do focus entirely on providing exceptional drop-in care and walks at your home or out in nature! I live just steps away from a fantastic local park featuring large fields and great walking trails that your pup will love exploring.

About: I have been pet sitting and walking for about 3 years now and absolutely love it. I’m very dedicated to my work and doing what I can to fit into your dogs normal routine and help you feel at ease and make sure that your pup is getting the love they deserve! The main benefit of in home care is that your pet gets to stay in their place of comfort and routine and I’m committed to sticking with that. I want you as owners to feel comfortable and confident leaving your fur babies with me. Whether it’s dog walking, house sitting, or drop in visits I take lots of pride in my work and try my best to go above and beyond to fit your needs. Because I am a college student, I have lots of flexibility in the schedule and am usually able to rearrange things to fit your schedule so feel free to reach out! I also am usually available mid-day on week days or at times when you may be at work or unavailable. Both yours and your fur kids happiness and comfort is the most important thing to me so I want to make sure I can deliver that. Whether it means short walks or more play time or and open and clear line of communication. I’m here for you and your dog for anything. One of the main benefits of at home care is that I can stick to your animals schedule in a place where they feel the safest.

“Ash was great. She was very thorough about getting to know our pets routines and their boundaries which is amazing! Our anxious/reactive dog was happy to cuddle up with her and she did a good job at administering all of our pets medication. She clearly cares about animals a lot and has a very gentle and calm attitude with pets. Our cat that hates and gets aggressive with everyone but us seemed to hit it off with her which is awesome! I would definitely recommend Ash!”

About: I’m someone who has spent my whole life surrounded by animals - dogs, cats, and all kinds of pets - and caring for them has always come naturally to me.

I bring a motherly, calm, and nurturing energy to every pet I meet, the same way I do with my own kids and my own animals. I don’t currently have have reliable transportation - but this opportunity helps me build towards that. For now, I rely on drop-off or nearby clients, and I’m upfront about it. Once your pet is with me, you can trust they’ll receive full attention, reliable care, and genuine love. But with that, I am always available. I’m always home, so I am always open to being off need for your busy days. I do have two kids.

The more I know, the more I can make your pet feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether I’m walking a dog or sitting with a cat, my goal is always the same: comfort, happiness, and personality quirks. Some pets need extra reassurance, some need space, some need playtime, and some just want a quiet companion. I meet them exactly where they are. I offer gentle, attentive walks that match your dog’s pace and personality. Whether your pup loves adventure, slow strolls, or lots of sniffing time, I make sure every walk feels safe, enjoyable, and consistent. Your dog will also have access to my medium-sized fenced yard, perfect for safe outdoor time, stretching their legs, or relaxing before or after walks.

For cats who enjoy supervised outdoor time, my secure fenced yard offers a safe space to explore or sunbathe. So basically you can expect: A warm motherly approach, safe, calm walks and visits, A secure, medium-sized fenced yard, clear communication, respect for your pet's routines and a happy, comfortable fur baby.

“Emily was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home with Enzo for 11 nights, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Leaving Enzo is incredibly hard for us—he’s our baby—and Emily went above and beyond to put our minds at ease. She sent photos and short videos throughout each day, including meals, walks, enrichment, and goodnights, and always kept us informed or asked questions when needed. It was clear from her updates—and their very sweet goodbye when we got home—that Enzo genuinely loved her. She was also incredibly respectful of our home. We left a clean house and came home to one, which was so appreciated after a long trip. Emily is sweet, funny, communicative, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I felt like both Enzo and our home were in wonderful hands. 10/10—we would absolutely trust Emily with Enzo again and highly recommend her!”
