Cat Sitting Canyon Rim

About: If I had to choose between a room full of people and a room full of animals, I’m choosing the animals. Every single time. I’ve been an animal person for as long as I can remember, and I genuinely believe that caring for someone’s pet is a huge responsibility. I have two beloved cats of my own who are my entire world, so I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your animals in someone else’s care. I don’t take that trust lightly. My cats are strictly indoor cats, and I’m extremely attentive to keeping them safe and secure. I know how important it is to follow each pet’s specific routine and boundaries—from making sure doors are never accidentally left open to keeping potential hazards out of reach. The little details matter, and when it comes to animals, I’m pretty obsessive about them. I’m the person who notices if your pet’s water bowl is getting low, double-checks the door before leaving, makes sure there isn’t a rogue hair tie or piece of string within reach, and will happily send you way too many photos because I know you want to see your fur baby. 🙂 I’m naturally very organized, attentive, and probably a little Type A when it comes to animal safety and wellbeing, which is exactly how I think it should be! I also have a huge soft spot for pit bulls. I absolutely adore their goofy, sweet, big-hearted personalities. But honestly, I love creatures of all kinds. I’m the person who will carefully escort a spider outside rather than squish it. Every animal deserves kindness, patience, and respect. During the week, I work from home in a corporate role, which gives me flexibility in my schedule and allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m reliable, communicative, and will treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would expect from someone caring for my own. Whether your pet is a social butterfly who wants to play, a couch potato who just wants company, or a little more cautious and needs someone to earn their trust, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Your pets are FAMILY. And I’d be honored to take care of yours. 💚🐾 I work from home in a corporate role Monday-Friday, so I have a flexible schedule and availability throughout the day. I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. I love having animals as part of my day, so they’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship rather than being left alone for long stretches. I’m extremely detail-oriented when it comes to animal safety and care. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and any specific instructions you leave. I’m especially mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and potential hazards, and I’ll always treat your home and your pets with the same care I would my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My two cats are strictly outdoors and not once have they ever gotten out, nor have I ever not been aware of where they are at all times.

About: My whole life I've grown up with many dogs and I absolutely adore them!! I love walking them, playing with them, taking them out for car rides, etc. For a little over three years now I've been dogsitting and catsitting for my dad's friends. I've cared for cats previously, but I didn't have my very first cat until very recently, and I adore them as well! I'm more than willing to scoop litter, pick up after they potty, walk pets, and have a designated play time with them (: Now that I'm back in school, I won't be as available to be with dogs during the day time. Monday through thursday, I have classes for about 4 hours at a time. I am still more than able to stay overnight with the doggies, as well as walk them in the afternoon or morning. At night, I usually work for about 5/6 hours, and am flexible enough to check on pets after work as well. Since cats don't require to be let outside, I'll be much more flexible with catsitting than dogsitting, but am still willing to do both! I usually work at my job 3-4 nights a week. In client's homes I make sure to spend a good amount of time with pets because I know they're missing their owners. I give them treats, pet them, cuddle with them, and walk them. Before I leave for anywhere I make sure that they have food, water, and they've used the potty, that way clients can be assured there will be no accidents in the home, and their pet is being properly cared for. Some cats prefer to spend time alone, and if that's the case, of course I have no problem leaving them be. As a pet owner myself, I can tell when sometimes the pets don't want to play and just wanna nap, or when they want to be left alone. Additionally, I make sure to take care of their house and clean up after myself! Beforehand, I'd love to meet with the client that way I can get to know everyone, and build some trust between me, the client, and the pet (:

“Abigail did such a great job watching my two cats! She was consistent, communicated when needed, and she was happy to do an additional task when I asked. She even left some cat toys and a note on her last visit :) Thank you, Abby!”

About: Ive taken care of all types of dogs and puppy’s I trained my own dog last year. I’ve been a pet sitter since I was in middle school. I just love all animals and spoiling them! I work full time but I get to go home for lunch most days so I never leave my animal by herself for more than 4 hours at a time. Make sure they are comfortable and have what they need to be happy. In my own home I’d make a little spot for them to have so they are comfortable.

About: I’m a devoted dog mom and lifelong animal lover! Growing up, my family bred and raised Siberian Huskies, so I spent my early years around dogs of all ages, from high-energy puppies to mellow seniors, even helping handle them in AKC shows. I’ve also trained my own dog to earn her Canine Good Citizen certificate. While volunteering as a dog walker at a local humane society, I spent time handling shelter dogs of all temperaments, which taught me how to work patiently with shy pups and leash pullers. I currently have a very open schedule, giving me plenty of flexibility for midday dog walks or drop-in visits for both dogs and cats, including over the upcoming holiday season. As a pet parent myself, I know how reassuring it is to have updates from your sitter, so you can always count on regular photos with every visit! And if your pup enjoys company, I’m also happy to bring along my friendly dog as a walking buddy upon request. I’m currently on a planned career break, so my schedule is wide open and highly flexible. I can easily work around your pet's normal routine, feed times, and exercise needs. Your pet's safety and comfort will be my top priorities. When we’re out on walks, I'll stay alert to our surroundings and give other dogs plenty of space, unless you’ve let me know your pup loves greeting friends. In your home, I'll follow your instructions closely, ensure your pet is happily settled inside with fresh water, and make sure everything is securely locked up when I leave.

“Solveig took wonderful care of our diabetic cat over the weekend, including her insulin injections and routine. She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. We would happily trust her again and highly recommend her!”

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.

“Emily was so patient with or shy little guy. It was challenging finding all his hiding spots. She took her time letting him get to know her and eventually won him over. She’s great!”

About: I have had animals growing up since I was 5 years old. Ive lived with both dogs and cats. I have experience worth senior animals and giving them medication. I am currently between jobs at the moment. I am available from anytime during the week until Friday evening. I sadly cannot bring any pets into my home for watching. I love animals, so I will gladly play and walk them! I can also follow directions very well, so if you have an animal with special needs, I am more than willing to watch them.

About: I have cared for multiple dogs for multiple days, over holidays and weekends. I’m good to take them on long walks or chill with them on the couch, whatever they prefer. I am notorious for picking up lost dogs and returning them to their loving homes safely. I am currently a college student with classes not starting until later in the day, so I am looking for some work and care to give. I’m excellent at completing tasks you may need. If your pet is on a scheduled meal time, no need to fret. Or maybe they want to be let out at 7am sharp, I’ve got you covered. I can also water your plants while i’m at it or take out the trash.

About: I always have energy for play, I love to be thoughtful and nurturing. Taking care of animals fills my heart all the way up. The presence of pets makes an environment entirely warmer. I work about 8 am- 4 pm, mon-fri, but I live in an apartment right now and travel a lot so I don’t have any pets of my own at the moment. I pet sit for family and friends often, but would love to have more weekends, evenings, and early mornings of that! I love walks a lot, I get miles in per day, no matter the weather. I love throwing a ball, I love sitting on the floor petting any animal near by. A day with those activities is my most ideal day. I also love gardening so any plant watering tasks make me very happy.

“Immediately made friends with my cat who usually doesn't like new people. Loved all the pictures and the video!! Will definitely recommend and have her again!”

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.

“Alexandra was attentive, responsible, and so kind to Judi. We also trusted that she spent time with Judi, that can be hard to find with cat sitters. We knew Judi was in good hands.”
