About: I have been an animal lover my whole life. I have previous work experience at a kennel. Most importantly, I am certified in pet CPR and First Aid. I am currently a college student, so my summer is completely free for all your animals. If you would like to schedule a meeting with me beforehand let me know! I have a 3 acre yard with an invisible fence. My neighborhood is a very nice place to take walks in. I also believe your pets should be comfortable, so if I come to your home I will make sure to take care of everything.
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience, caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s been a lifelong passion. From a young age, I’ve been surrounded by animals and have dedicated my life to understanding and supporting their needs. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have worked professionally as a veterinary technician in a veterinary office in Utah, giving me a strong medical background and the ability to recognize and respond to a wide range of health and behavioral concerns. My experience also includes working in multiple kennels across many states where I cared for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. This has given me the skills to handle everything from energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra patience and care. At home, I’m a proud pet owner myself. I have a 13-year-old Chihuahua that I’ve raised since he was a puppy, as well as an 11-year-old pit bull mix I rescued from a shelter in 2017, and my beloved cat I adopted in 2023. My own pets have given me firsthand experience with aging animals, rescue care, and the importance of providing a safe, loving environment. When you trust me with your pet, you can feel confident knowing they will be treated like family—with compassion, experience, and the highest level of care. I am open most days, as I homeschool my child. Saturday afternoons are usually reserved for personal time but I am available in the morning and night. I can let your dog out in your back yard, take them for a walk, clean litter boxes, do playtime, give food, water, and medications on their schedule.
About: I’ve been both cat and dog sitting independently since middle school, and I thought Rover would be a great opportunity while I’m in still in college! I am currently a full-time online student so I’m available to take care of you pets anytime! I have a very open availability and can most likely make anything work! I have two dogs of my own who love meeting new friends, and a very safe fenced in backyard with more than enough room to run! As for your home, I can work with anything!
“Sophia was fantastic! She has a soothing and calm presence that put both Nuka and I at ease. Care instructions were followed faithfully and I can tell my doggo had a great time. I highly recommend Sophia and hope to book Nuka with her again next time we travel.”

“Terri has been a fantastic support for our family. She is dependable and trustworthy and sends an update after each visit. Knowing that our little Spaniel is comfortable and happy is the best feeling when I am away from home. I am so grateful that I found her, and I look forward to working with her for a long time!!”


“Destiny continues to care for Tucker in such a kind, positive and professional manner. Her communication is always detailed and her attention to care details, impressive!”

“We are so grateful to have found Shelby! It's such a relief to know that my pup is getting exercise and attention while I am at work all day. I highly recommend Shelby!”

About: I am very kind and peaceful. I know how to approach and introduce myself to pets I've never met. I was raised with dogs and cats in my childhood home and I have been blessed with four dogs of my own and one cat throughout my adult life. My last dog, Cody (a Boston Terrier), passed in September 2016 and since then I enjoy cuddling, nurturing, and playing with my own grandpups (3) who are very happy and excited when they come for sleepovers at my house frequently. I am a business owner working from home which allows a flexible schedule for me and I have the ability to meet client's pets' needs easily because the work I perform is not 9-5. I live in a house on 1/2 acre with a fenced back yard. There is plenty of safe play room for pets. They will have free reign for stays in my home depending on their behavioral needs, just as my own dogs experienced during their lives. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood where I am able to walk dogs by wooded areas and small fields, and also can take them to terrific nearby parks for outside time.
“Christen responded to my request promptly and I was able to set up a last minute walk fairly quickly with her. She arrived on time and kept me informed of everything during the walk. I ALSO really appreciate her making arrangements to come with someone else when she wasn’t feeling too well! Definitely recommend her and will book with her in the future!”

About: I will treat your pet as if it is my own and will make sure they stay calm and happy while you are away!! I have experience with older dogs and puppies! I am available almost all summer.I am a full time college student working on my Bachelors of science but I am home for the summer. Pet sitting can be fit into my schedule as needed. I can let the dogs run outside for a while in a fenced yard, I can take them on walks through the neighborhood, I can practice commands, or just give some snuggles.
“Sheila has been walking my dog Violet since July. She is trustworthy, reliable, flexible and caring. She has lots of expirience with dogs and can handle walking a dog that doesn't have the best manners on a leash! My dog Violet seems to really enjoy her walks with Sheila! She has been able to fit in a walk for Violet every single time I have asked, even if I have contacted last minute due to a scheduling conflict on my end. Sheila is very detail oriented and observant and will notice and alert you if something seems off/different about your dog. I can't say enough good things about Sheila!”

“Just in the few walks we've scheduled with Lin, I can already tell she's the best dog walker we've ever had. Our dog looks forward to their walks together! I've also noticed how much better our dog walks on leash with us - she's not pulling as much.”
“I have been extremely satisfied with the dog walking services provided by Cornell over the past months. He has consistently demonstrated exceptional reliability, arriving punctually for every scheduled walk and maintaining clear communication throughout our arrangement. His genuine care for my dogs has been evident in the detailed updates and photos he shared after each outing, ensuring they received attentive, safe, and engaging exercise. I highly recommend his professional and trustworthy services to any pet owner seeking a dependable dog walker.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 13 years and have 2 dogs of my own. I’ve rescued stray dogs off the street before and put them in a safe environment. I was once very active in helping animal shelter. A close friend of mine is a Veterinarian and had asked me to dog sit for her when she traveled, it was a pleasure to handle 5 dogs at a time at her house. I enjoy taking walks in nature with dogs. I have plenty of time to play with your dog and take them on walks. My schedule is open daily and weekly routine as well once established. I love to give dog treats and play ball with them. Taking them on long walks. I can also give them a lot of petting for attention. I will take pictures for updates on their activity.

“Rosie is awesome! She loves and cares for my dog Stormi every single day! She definitely makes me feel calm and worry-free knowing my dog is getting a great walk, extra play, and love!”

“Adrienne is thoughtful and caring and very very good at communicating. This is my 3rd time leaving my dog (a somewhat demanding pug) in her care. It will certainly not be our last.”
