Jacey was lovely! She was very communicative and stopped by to meet our dog the day before watching her which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely book her in the future!

I've known Tamara for over 25 years and for those years I've seen her care for countless animals. Tamara has started and run a Pit Bull rescue and never turned away a dog in need. Tamara was the person I turned to when I got my first dog. She helped guide me through the process and she was there every time I needed help in the first months of having my new (rescue) dog. She helped me train him and helped me learn how to be a responsible dog owner as well. She also (of course) takes care of my dog, cat and house whenever I have to travel for work.

Dani is reliable, flexible, and willing to rise above in emergencies. While my doggy tried an escape stunt during his last walk, Dani calmly and instinctively called me right away to ask how to best handle the situation. She continued to search for him with the assistance of friends she had called. Due to our good communication and her swift actions, my dog was safely back in the house in about half an hour! The peace of mind that gave me so quickly is something I will always be grateful for. The situation easily could have had a bad ending. I'll continue to book with Dani for my pet's needs. ??

Lauren has taken care of my pit mix on countless occasions! My pittie is verrrry scared of new people and warmed up to Lauren faster than she's ever warmed up to anyone. She takes her on walks, plays with her, snuggles her & loves her as if she were her own dog. I would recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving person to take care of their fur baby!

About: My family has had animals running around for all of my life! Friends and family have relied on me to help watch, walk, and love dogs and cats! My family has 2 dogs we got in 2020 and 4 cats we have had for years! I am excellent with cats and understand that some need patience, time, and space to warm up to you! I love running around with dogs and getting their adrenaline going but I'm also a big sucker for some puppy cuddles! **Availability! Although I am in school Mon-Fri, I do have some availability! With the way my school schedule is built I have plenty of room for flexibility! My unavaible times for things like dog walking or drop-ins are as follows: [Mon/Wed] 2:00 pm -2:50 pm [Tues/Thurs] 9:00 am - 10:20am I have a fenced yard with enough space for your pup to run around and a reliable dog park around the corner at Spring Canyon Park! I have no problem with putting your pup in a crate or giving your pet any medication they may need! I love to go on long walks and have your pup guide me with all the sniffies they desire (avoiding unfamiliar objects of course) but I also love to just sit and hangout if your pet prefers! If any pet has a disability or a disadvantage I have the patience to take it slow if they need it!

Alyssa loves animals and always ensures that all of their needs are cared for. Not only is she able to keep to a strict feeding and walking schedule for them if necessary but she is in tune with emotions. Her special touch with animals can be seen with how she interacts with them. Where ever they enjoy touches and pats she is sure to provide. They will feel so much love an compassion with every opportunity they get with her.

Claire stayed at my home for three nights and took wonderful care of my two cats and dog. She walked the dog frequently and communicated with me so well throughout her stay. Claire was incredibly friendly, kind, and has such a great personality. It’s clear she loves pets and has lots of experience with all types of animals. I completely trust her, and she’ll be my go-to sitter from now on!

Bailey was a great pet care provider for our two dogs. Not only did she take care of two dogs, one of them was a Great Dane puppy. I was a little nervous with a sitter taking care of the puppy, because she is a lot to handle and quite big/strong for her size:) However, Bailey listened to all my instruction on how to handle her/care for her and did a great job with them. She was only with us for a couple months (due to moving), but during her time with the dogs they adapted very well and were much happier dogs in the evening when I got home from work. She kept me informed after each of her visits, through notes or text. And anything I had ask her to do, she did with no problems. Bailey also was available last minute (asked her the day of) with watching the dogs for an evening, so she is very flexible and willing to help out whenever. Having her let the dogs out during the day helped with my stress and the dogs. I would high recommend and wish we had another sitter like Bailey in our new city.

Jolie was very attentive and communicative while we were out of town. Jolie sent photos of our cat's daily activities (even though our little guy likes to hide around people). Highly recommend Jolie as she communicative, punctual, and easy going.
