House Sitting in Capitol Hill, Salt Lake City, UT

About: I have been Dog Walking for clients for 7 years, Dog & Cat Sitting for 4 years. I grew up with two dogs and two cats, providing experience to take care of animals. Also, I have been volunteering for animal shelters for 4 years. I have experience walking tiny puppies, large Great Danes, and my 14 year-old senior poodle! Pet care is my part-time job as a Biochemistry student and it fits into my daily/weekly routine following my class schedule. Overall, I am available starting around noon every weekday, and free all day on the weekends. I will care for the pets in my client's home following their exact instructions. I have experience walking dogs out of the client's home, playing with them in the backyard, providing food, and giving medication.

“This was my first time booking with Marcia, and I will definitely be booking again! Marcia was communicative, thorough, and thoughtful. During the meet & greet she asked many great questions about my cat and my travel plans, which left me feeling confident about her care. I returned home to a clean apartment and a happy cat!”

“Stephanie was amazing with our little Roxy. She is a fear reactive foster and Stephanie handled her patiently, perfectly, and lovingly. She sent us regular updates with photos and videos. Trying to find the right person to watch our girl with very special needs was critical. Stephanie was the perfect fit for Roxy and our situation. We would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again.”

“Suzanna was an exceptional sitter for Ninja! Kind, caring, and attentive. She took care of my cat exactly as I'd asked, and then some. She was extremely responsive, and went out of her way to provide updates throughout the stay. She was extremely respectful of my home, and left it in a far better condition than she had received. She will be my immediate choice for any pet needs going forward.”

About: I have many years of pet sitting experience, working with healthy and unhealthy pets. I can give oral and injected medications, I’ve worked with pets who need physical therapy exercises, and I work with all ages of cats and dogs! I just love making sure your pets are happy and healthy while you’re away. I'm active outdoors and love to take dogs for walks or runs on trails if they are up for it. I'm also a photographer and I love taking and sharing photos of pets I care for! I don't smoke or have children. I'm able to work from home so I'm fully available for long-term pet-sitting and able to give your pet my full attention! I make sure the safety and comfort of your pet is the number one priority! I'm happy to take care of your pet just as you like and make sure your space is left just how I found it. If your pet likes outdoor time I'd love to spend time in your yard or out on trails. If you pet loves indoor play time I love that as well! I've dealt with puppies and using crates and absorbent sheets if needed.

“Emily is a great sitter. She's very communicative and the house is always spotless when we return. So grateful to have her stay with our animals when we are away.”

“Kendall took such good care of our dog Buddy! He is a new rescue, and we were so nervous to be away from him, but he was in such good hands with Kendall! She is so knowledgeable about dogs, and was able to keep up with his training while we were away, and even started working on some other things. She provided thorough updates throughout the weekend, as well as some great photos. She also left our house in impeccable shape, I can’t recommend her enough to take care of your furry friends!”

About: We're a happy, clean, educated, highly experienced husband & wife housesitting team who love caring for animals and homes together. We've had steady stream of our own pets constantly for our entire lives up until last November, 2024 when we re-entered the world of full-time housesitting. Prior to that, we'd been full-time pet sitters for several years as well as occasional sitters, boarders, and pet fosterers. My husband graduated in zoology and so has that additional expertise. After graduating with his zoology degree, he continued on to medical school where he earned his Optometry degree & license. He left his solo practice in 2021 & now is employed as a full-time Optometrist who works long hours everyday. I am the primary housesitter who remains throughout the day and night with my husband joining me to help housesit during the nights. We have a great deal of experience with dogs and cats predominantly, but also have experience with other pets such as birds, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, lizards, snakes, chickens, fish, turtles, cows, pigs, horses, turkeys, etc. Animals and pets have always been a big part of our lives. Although not formally degreed, I studied animal accupressure, grooming, massage, nutrition, health, exercise, psychology, and training for decades. I'm constantly learning and love the time I spend with each and every pet. We have a great deal of experience in taking care of homes and properties as well. We're very accessible, easy-going, young-at-heart, responsible, dependable, yet also playful and patient. We're very clean and like to keep things tidy, fresh, healthy, and clean. We cherish our time in your homes with your pets and do all we can to be considerate, respectful, enjoyable guests in your home. We strive for repeat sits and so try to be good guests that you'll want to invite back time and time again to care for your home and pets while you're away. We can offer a variety of additional services related to the care of your pets and home if desired. We look forward to getting to meet you! We have returned to doing housesitting full time and have done it full time since last November, 2024. Although we like the "one-and-done" petsits, we especially strive for repeat sits. We prefer longer sits, but will consider shorter ones to fill in any availability gaps we have in our schedule. We only do housesits in the owner's home for overnight sits that are 2 nights and longer. We prefer longer sits. We do our best to be good guests so you'll invite us back again and again.

“We got updates from Karsten every day. He spent a lot of time with the dogs. The dogs seemed happy when we got home and the house was clean. What more can I ask for? Karsten was very friendly and the dogs liked him. Very happy.”
