Dog Walking Cottonwood Heights

About: I've taken care of many pets throughout the years. My mom says I can "speak dog" only because I can sense if something is off and do my best to figure out what my friend needs. Some of my unique experience has come from my own pets. Last year I lost my 14 yo Daizy (Yorkie). She was a senior who was partially blind and required special baths, food and medication. I also have a deaf dog who is 15+ and understand the need to make myself known without scaring my sweet boy. Daizy and Dodger had/have severe anxiety, I'm familiar with thunder jackets, CBD for calming, and using music/white noise as a distraction during weather events or fireworks. I have a cat named Hank who is about 4.5. He showed up at my husband's shop in downtown Salt Lake. He lived with the feral cat colony that the shop cares for. He took a special liking to my husband and was very friendly. We think he may have been dumped by his previous family. Long story short, we built him a cat castle and brought him home. He's such a sweet boy, love him SO MUCH. (And all the pets get along, yay!) I've had 4 dogs, raising them all from puppies. My Daizy also gave birth to 3 puppies and I'm familiar with pregnant/nursing dogs. I work part time with a very flexible schedule. I recently lost my 14 yo Daizy (Yorkie). She was an angel on earth. She was so funny, very demanding (she'd tell me when to tuck her in and when she wanted her medicine) and required a lot of special care. I'm quite lost without her and am looking for a way to give away that extra love to other sweet babies. Please note: I have a 6 year old and 9 year old. Depending on the time of day or time of year I may be required to bring them to the visit. I would notify you ahead of time -were that the case. They are very polite young ladies who are very respectful of others' and their property. One of my reviews, is a long time client Wendy (20+ years) and my girls help me on all her visits (per request from her dog 😉). Bailey (lab) loves playing fetch with my girls. I'm quite particular on not disturbing anything, and if there were any messes left by our furry friends I would not leave until it was taken care of. Safety and cleanliness are a priority for me. I actually work in a hospital setting that has trained me to be hyper vigilant on safety and cleanliness.

About: I've worked with and cared for dogs since early childhood. I have trained and competed with obedience and agility dogs; trained and worked with therapy dogs; and have lots of experience working with both elderly and special needs canines. My dream job is to be an avalanche dog handler. Unique services I provide: -care for special needs dogs - puppy training/socialization - walks/runs/playtime tailored to your dog - I am an endurance athlete. I will RUN your dog into zen mode. Guaranteed. - home visits/house sitting as needed I am a partially retired middle school teacher. I'm available every other school day as well as most evenings during the school year. I travel quite a bit on weekends and frequently open blocks from my calendar on short notice as a result! Keep checking back for increased availability. I maintain a balanced calm/enthusiastic demeanor and work to foster the very same in my animal clients. I strive to treat them (and your home) with the joy and respect they deserve.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. Not a day has gone by that I've never been around a pet. I even take care of my friend's pets at college when I can! Pet care fits perfectly into my summer routine! I’m free to spend time with your pets, whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just giving them some love and attention. It’s the ideal way for me to enjoy my summer while taking care of your furry friends! I prioritize safety and trust by ensuring a calm, pet-friendly environment. Whether in your home or mine, I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and secure. I’m attentive to their needs and make sure they feel loved and safe while you’re away.

About: I've owned and cared for cats and dogs my whole life. I have always had a soft spot for all animals and consider them the purest souls on earth. I believe we each have an individual responsibility to provide the best environment and stimulation for the creatures in our care as we are lucky to be stewards over them for their time with us. It is important to me to provide a fully pet-safe sanitized, comfortable, safe environment for every cat that stays in my hotel. I can't wait to get to know and spend time with your little loves! I am a stay at home mom who is available round the clock to care for your furry best friend! Cat Boarding is my specialty but I have also owned dogs my whole life, both big and small and am ready to play with and walk your pup! I am available for my kitty clients around the clock. I check in on them frequently throughout the day and send pictures and videos daily. Each kitty receives mental stimulation and individual play time (if wanted by them of course) as well as one hour a day of kitty tv. When out on adventures with my dog-walking clients, we will explore different places, spend time sniffing and getting mental stimulation, and end each adventure with some play and snuggles.

About: I have 10+ years of experience taking care of dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and birds. I took a few college courses that were 2 years long to learn about animal care. I also worked at a reptile education center where I took care of the animals and educated people about them. I love animals of all kinds and would love to watch your pet! CURRENTLY NOT TAKING RECURRING/WEEKLY CLIENTS! I have lots of time in the day to watch and play with your pet. I do have a cat at home so I do have to go check on him every 3-4 hours! I will follow your schedule to a T to make sure your pet doesn’t skip out on their daily routine. I have experience taking care of even shy animals so I have lots of patience and am willing to let them take their time to adjust to me. I am ok going on walks in neighborhoods and parks as well as playing with your pet in such areas.

“Z has been great! Highly recommend!”

About: I have had pets my entire life, both large and small breeds...dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, hamsters, lizards, and fish. I offer pet care services in Salt Lake valley and Southern Utah. I can travel for extended stay bookings. MORE About me: I grew up in Utah with a beautiful Irish Setter named Sunny. He was my BFF from childhood to teens. As an adult, I have had many pets! I adored my buddy, Cruzer, the cutest Shih Tzu ever, he was such a good friend for 12 years. I also had the coolest cat, a Maine Coone named Rio, he was with me for 17 years! Everyone loved Rio! 💗After that I adopted an older pug named Lou, and a lost trail kitty named GrizzaBella, short for GrizzaB. RIP. I miss each of them dearly❣️ I recently divorced so now it’s just me and my BFF Nala, Pomchi. She is the most lovable, cuddly pet ever. I have 15+ years professional experience pet sitting, house sitting & housekeeping. I also worked for a B&B for several years and was responsible for managing bookings, cleaning all rooms and pet care for her 3 dogs, multiple birds and Koi pond. I would love to schedule a MEET& GREET so we can see if I am the ‘perfect friend’ to care for your pet while you are away on vacation or business. I can guarantee you peace of mind, as you will know that your furry family member is being loved and and cared for in your absence. I have a very flexible schedule... reach out for more info. I have daytime availability as I am a semi-retired and also a happy homemaker with lots of free time to love and care for your furry friend(s) as well as my own. I have a fenced yard for playing ball ⚽️ with my dog, Nala. She would play fetch all day if she could! After playing it’s treat time, then cuddles, then REPEAT 🔁 😊.

About: Sitter on Rover since August of 2022. Star sitter since April of 2024, when star sitters became a thing. Though my true experience lies in caring for friends' and neighbors' pets since I was 10 years old. Over the years, I've looked after dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, reptiles, and more. I have a special soft spot for senior pets, but l love the energy and joy that puppies and kittens bring too. Every animal I meet is treated like my own - with patience, attention, and plenty of love. Rover is my main job, and I plan my other work around it whenever possible, so my schedule is very flexible. I always make sure there's plenty of time for walks, play, and companionship. Whether your pet loves outdoor adventures or prefers to follow a calm daily routine, I'll adjust to what makes them happiest. I live in a house with a fenced yard, shared with three friendly dogs who enjoy both playtime and relaxing around the house. I'm comfortable administering ear drops, eye drops, and oral medications. I can also carry dogs up to about 90 pounds if needed - perfect for pets who need a little help getting around. Your pet's comfort and safety always come first.

About: Hi there! I have a sweet dog named Momo who loves other dogs as well as cats. I’ve dog sat, walked, boarded, etc for the last 15 or so years. I like spending time with animals and giving them lots of attention, respect, care and love. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and runs, as well as throwing tennis balls and playing with their favorite chew toys. I am an easy going, but an active and responsible person. I love to have fun, but I also like to be safe and know when I need to lay down the law. I am easily contacted via my cell for scheduling and general check-ins on how your dog is doing. I would love to make your acquaintance and see how I can help you and your furry friend! I work from home with a 9-5, somewhat flexible schedule so I am available for all your dog needs. I usually walk my dog twice a day and can accommodate similar needs. I have a fenced in yard with a dog door for pups to run around whenever they want. I’m also a short walk to the park for some ball throwing play time! My own dog is crated when no one is home, but if your dog is house trained I do not require crating for them.

“Keaton has been a great addition to Oliver’s little world. She has help us get our mornings off to a better start and taken Oliver on many happy adventures bringing him back fully content and ready to relax so my husband can be productive while working from home. She is professional and caring, attentive and reliable. Definitely recommend her for your furry friends.”

About: I have always had a special draw towards animals and love to be around them. I have a 12 yo black lab/pointer that I adopted at 4 months and my life revolves around her. I exercise her daily and will usually take my friends dogs with me as well. I am the first person my friends call when they need a dog sitter because they know I will walk them every day and treat them like one of my own. I'm used to having multiple animals around and make sure all of their needs are met. I am in school Monday and Thursday nights, so I am available to hike, play, care, check in, and provide affection and attention all other times. I am dependable and patient and am excited to meet your fur baby! I am in between jobs so I am available every day, all day to provide lots of care and attention and plenty of walks for your loved ones. I prefer going to your home for ease and familiarity. I make sure your pet is given lots of love and attention and plenty of exercise if required.
