Dog Walking Arcadia

About: I honestly know how difficult and STRESSFUL it can be to find the right person to care for your pet. I hope I can help bring you peace of mind in the process. It's hard enough to be away from our loved ones without worrying that they're not getting the level of care you give them and they deserve. I've taken care of and owned cats my whole life with dogs stepping into the last half of my life. With 3 dogs of my own, including experience with a chronically ill pup, I'm used to catering to pets with special diets and regular medication. I deeply enjoyed the time I spent working in a veterinary and boarding clinic, getting to experience the joy of taking care of every pet's needs, whether that be overnight boarding, day boarding, health and wellness, or basic training. I have loved pet sitting for people close to me for the last 4 years and decided to take it further to be able to fully enjoy the love and company that pets bring every day. I can provide comfort for any pet parents worried about their safety and standard of care. I would be delighted to get to spend more time with your pet and will keep you updated with photos, videos, and any special experiences during the time you're away. I'm a home-body and have a very flexible schedule, making me available for full attentiveness at any time, day or night. I understand how vital it is to find the right person to trust with your babies. I hope I have the opportunity to be that right fit you're looking for. I am currently caring for pets full time and am able to provide any routine your pet needs to be happy and at peace while you are away. Whether in my own home or yours, I can make any adjustments needed to accommodate any specific needs your pet may have. I have high standards of care I provide, whether in my home or yours. I am able to keep a close eye in any situation to ensure your pet is safe, healthy, and happy.

“Reliable, caring, and great with my dog. My dog is always happy after walks, and I appreciate the updates and professionalism. Highly recommend!”

About: My dog is precious to me and I will treat your fur-baby(ies) like my own. My goal in providing pet care is to make it as convenient and stress-free as possible. I know what it is like to need a last-minute sitter and I never want price to stand in the way of your pup getting quality care. So please reach out, especially if there are special circumstances! I love going on outdoor adventures with my 7 year old black Lab, Ellie! We especially enjoy hiking, swimming at the lake, and playing fetch at the park. On cold and rainy days, we'll do indoor enrichment activities like hide-and-seek, puzzle toys, or catching bubbles! With my own pup at home, we go to the park in the morning to play fetch and then a walk in the evening. I work a hybrid job and my schedule is very flexible as needed. Am I happy to provide visits/walks for your dog(s) alone, or to bring my dog along if your pup would enjoy some socialization and company. Ellie is very patient and tolerant of other dogs, especially those who are extra hyper or a little guarded at first. I have had many "runners" in my lifetime, so I am extra vigilant when it comes to entering/exiting your home as well as when on walks or at a park. Growing up, we always had at least three large dogs in my home (Great Danes, St. Bernards, Dobermans, etc.) so I am very familiar with pack dynamics and experienced when it comes to walking multiple dogs at once. Please let me know if there are any medical, behavioral, or other concerns and I am happy to do what I can to accommodate your pup's needs!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life! My mom is also a dog breeder and I’ve helped out with that a lot. I love getting out on walks with dogs to help them get exercise and to also help my own mental and physical health. I am a teacher and so I am available in the mornings before school and after school beginning at 3:45. I also would be available during my lunch breaks to drop in and do quick walks. I also have more availability over long weekends holiday breaks, and summer break. I’ve had dogs my whole life and I have helped my mom with her dog breeding business. And doing that I’ve learned how to keep dogs, healthy, and how to make them feel loved.

“Kimmie was super communicative and took great care of our pup!”

“Cydnee was great. Our dog is normally a little leery of strangers. When Cydnee came to the door, Lady ran right up to her and gave her a kiss. Cydnee was able to work with us with very short notice. Her communication was prompt and professional with a personal touch.”

About: I have lifelong experience caring for a wide range of animals, including cats, dogs, rabbits, lizards, turtles, hamsters, mice, and rats. Because of this, I’m comfortable adapting to different care routines, energy levels, and personalities — from active pets who need structured play and exercise to quieter animals who thrive with calm, consistent care. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, enrichment, and basic health monitoring. I’m also comfortable following specific care instructions to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment while their owners are away. I work from home with a very flexible schedule so I can make most any sitting/walking times work with my schedule. I volunteer to care for rescue cats every Sunday at Petco, usually around noon. I've been known to spend hours at a home when I am cat-sitting for friends to ensure their pet gets plenty of attention while they're away. I'm also a nail-trimming pro and would be happy to try (at least) trimming your cat's nails, if asked. I have had senior cats of my own that required medication, I've given pills, powders, eye drops, and injections before.

“Amy is seriously awesome. She’s such a delightful and reliable person. It makes me happy my dog had someone kind and loving to be with a few times a week.”

“Alexis was great with our two Goldens! They were tired and happy everyday after Alexis took care of them.”

About: As a life-long pet owner, lover, and caretaker, I am well-equipped to take in your furry friends and passionate about giving them a warm, safe place to stay (and play). I’ve had pets since I was a child — some of my fondest memories involve wet kisses and long, sniff-filled walks around the neighborhood. In addition to providing my family pets with basic care and love, I’ve watched and cared for dogs in my community since I was a tween. Neighbors enlisted my help to walk, feed, and check in on their pets while away, and I happily obliged any time I could. I’ve also cared for my own pup (a Golden Retriever) since I was 18, allowing me to adapt and grow with my dog over many years, homes, and chapters of life. Additionally, I lived with an experienced dog trainer for nearly five years, learning about dog behavior, care, training, and safety. During this time, I interacted (at home and in training classes) with dozens of breeds each with unique temperaments. I’ve lived with multiple dogs at once, and have experience with reactive pups who need more space and patience than others. Long story long, I am but a person who loves animals, is passionate about pet care and wellness, and wants to keep your pets safe and sound while away from their human families :) I currently work from home as a freelance content creator and musician. Most of my time spent away from home is flexible and lasts (at most) 5 hours (with a few exceptions). I enjoy spending time with dogs, and try to be home as often as possible when watching pets to ensure they are comfortable and safe. I have a large, fenced yard with plenty of room to explore, sniff, and play! I have one 11 year old dog — a sweet, social, pet-friendly Golden Retriever — to keep your pup company. His name is Simba, he loves to say hi and will engage if your pup initiates, but is also very content to keep to himself and takes cues and warnings well. Simba is a free roaming dog and I am happy to keep your pup out and about while I'm home and able to supervise. I also live with a cat who keeps to herself and stays confined to a dog-free room. She will not interact with your pets during their stay. For your pup's safety and mine, I prefer they are crate trained. That way, I can ensure they are safe and comfortable while I'm out. I also utilize kennels as a quiet space for dogs to decompress and recharge separate from outside distractions. However, they will be offered plenty of time outside of their crates, both indoors and outdoors. Dogs are allowed on furniture and beds in my house. However, I can enforce any off-furniture rules to maintain their routine while away from home.

About: I have been a pet sitter for many years and have experience in dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles. I have walked dogs and have had several pets. I am good with animals and would love to help! I am a high school senior with my CNA and EMT certifications. I work part time for an assisted living and have only two classes so I have time to work midday. I can do overnights on certain days, especially the weekend. I have had several pets and currently have a cat. I know how I would want my kitten treated and I strive to give others the same level of respect and happiness. I want to make sure that you and your animal are the number one priority and that you can feel comfortable leaving me with your pet!

About: Hello! My name is Nichole. I am the owner of a small pet-sitting business in the Salt Lake City, UT area. Much of my experience is with exotic animals (avian, aquatic, small mammals), as well as numerous dog breeds, including both toy and working breeds of all ages. I've enjoyed the privilege of working with animals of all varieties (including cats, allergies can't stop me x)! I take care of exercise and playtime needs, grooming, drop-in visits, overnight care, and am experienced in handling a variety of mild-moderate medical and behavioral needs. Additionally, I'm deeply fascinated by animal behavior and psychology. I offer positive reinforcement and classical conditioning training, should that be of interest. If you like, I'll add some tricks to your pet's repertoire, provide some insight on your pet's state of mind, or simply tidy up their manners to your specifications. Feel free to reach out with inquiries. I am more than happy to provide references and answer questions! I take clients one at a time, 7 days/wk, meaning your pets will have my undivided attention. Time slots are first come first serve- I will try my best to accommodate! Typically, I do drop-in visits and/or overnight sitting in your home. I offer boarding on a case by case basis only! I find that most animals do best in a familiar environment. My specialty is providing customized in-home assistance for beloved pets to meet mental stimulation and exercise needs!

About: My whole life I’ve grown up taking care of lots of animals! Such as dogs, cats, rodents, chickens, tortoises, chinchillas, and fish! I currently have 3 fish tanks, 3 chinchillas and a cat, I pride myself on taking the absolute best care of all animals! Currently I am looking for a new job so I am available all hours and have the time to be able to provide lots of love to your animals! I have tons of practice giving medication to all sizes of dogs(biggest I’ve given meds to was an Irish wolf hound), as well as kittens and adult cats and for a year straight my chinchilla required syringe feeding and medication. As well as i absolutely love playing with the animals and making sure they are properly looked after and all their requirements are met!

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life—from growing up with family pets to raising two of my own as an adult. Being around dogs comes naturally to me, and I’m attentive to their individual needs, routines, and personalities. Your pup will have plenty of room to relax and play, with a spacious yard and a comfortable home environment designed to help them feel safe, happy, and at ease while you’re away. I am a stay at home mom and aside from grocery runs or errands, I am always home. I make the perfect pet sitter because I have the time and space to keep your pet comfortable and happy while you are away. I have a fully fenced yard (two different sections) and two friendly King Charles cavalier dogs that are very chill but also love to play. I also have two friendly cats that do their own thing and are able to hide away in areas dogs can’t access. I have lots of space to keep all animals separate or together whichever your animal needs. I have a large crate in the main living area if your pup feels safe in a crate. I will also put my animals in a different room if that is what your pet needs. Your pets comfort and happiness is my priority!

About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, and many other small pets since since 10 years old. I also currently pet sit for my sister's dog and cat regularly. I have always loved animals and put lots of effort into giving them the best care possible. I am very responsible and great at independent work. I will make sure your pets are taken care of well every time! I am currently a full-time student. I usually have the most time in the afternoons/evenings for walking or check-ins. I’m also available all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I am not able to care for pets in my own home, as I already have two cats that don't do well with other animals. However, I have a reliable car and driver's license, so I am willing to travel anywhere to take care of your pets. I can follow instructions well and will make sure to take great care of your pets and your home.
