“Eden is great. She is very pleasant and calm. She has been walking my Australian Cattle Dog for just over a week, and she does just what we asked her to do which was to poop her out some! Mission accomplished!! Thank you Eden!”


About: I have had cats and dogs around since I was a child. I have been boarding for almost 2 years, and walking/doing check-ins for nearly 8 years. I started out doing walks to help fill my want for pets. But now that I have two of my own, I realized this is something I really love doing and it is always a joy to meet other peoples' fur babies. In my home, I do have one other dog who LOVES to play and gets along with every animal and human he meets. I have a scaredy cat, and a handful of kiddos who I have taught animal etiquette to since they were all babies. We have cared for the smallest dogs to the largest. We have had older dogs, puppies, dogs recovering from surgery, and females in heat (although not at the moment until our puppy is fixed). We love your babies like they are our own, and love to be able to take them with us if we ever go on any adventures while they are here (of course, with permission!) I am a stay at home mom, so I am home the majority of the day to care for any animals in my home. My kids are AMAZING with animals, as I have taught lots of animal etiquette over the years caring for animals -- and now that we have our own fur babies too. In my home, we just treat your fur babies like one of our own. We give them lots of attention, play time, walk time, etc. I also incorporate your schedules with ours (ie feeding, etc). If there are any special requests, I fulfill those needs. When I go to a clients home, I respect everything around me and be as gentle and careful as to make sure that the fur babies are comfortable with me in their home.

“Greg has met with Sasha for a meet and greet, then the next day for a 60 minute walk. My Sasha came home exhausted and happy! Looking forward to doing more business with Greg.”


“My dog is often skittish with new people and doesn't let them touch him right away. That usually takes a while. He felt comfortable with Benjamin and let him pet him right away! Benjamin has a lot of experience with different dogs and it shows with his care and patience. I highly recommend!”


“Jessica was great, she contacted me about needs and expectations before scouts walk and stopped by for a meet and greet! She really cared for scout on her check in and even made sure she had plenty of water before she left! Will definitely be using Jessica again.”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a child I am very capable at taking care of animals with love. I've had animals that were old, young, and animals that have had health issues. I feed and brush my cat 2 times a day. Play with him for a couple hours a day. Him and I sit on the roof together and stargaze. I always make sure pets have access to water, food (when needed) and to using the bathroom. I always approach animals with sensitivity, patience, kindness, and fun.

“Thanks for walking Buddy! He is always so happy to see his walking pal.”



“Kristle did an awesome job checking on and walking both my dogs together. Both of them are strong and my younger dog can be a challenge. She communicates well and sent me pictures. She went above and beyond what I asked. I will certainly be asking her to walk my dogs in the future! ”


About: For over 14 years, I cared for two deeply loved dogs - Charlie and Indiana - through every stage of their lives, including special diets, medications, and the realities of aging. I’ve handled everything from leash pulling to pet reactivity, separation anxiety to senior care, and understand how unique each animal’s needs can be. Since losing both of them, I’ve felt the pull to keep sharing that care. I know firsthand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet - it brings peace when you’re away. I’ve been that person for family and friends for years, and I’d be honored to be that for you, too. In addition to providing a fun and safe environment, I have two goals when pet sitting: 1. Providing care that feels like home, even when you’re away 2. Becoming your pet’s second favorite person! I work remotely with a relatively flexible schedule. I will be home with your pet the entire workday, making walks, potty breaks and snuggles easy! I can typically cater the rest of my schedule to your pet’s needs as well. They’re the priority when I’m sitting ❤️ I know how important it is to give each pet the unique care they need. Following your care instructions and preferences is my guarantee. No matter your pet’s age, size or needs, they will be safe, snuggled and secure in the way that suits them best.

About: Now serving the greater Albuquerque Area! To all of my Utah clients, I miss your pups 💜 I moved to Albuquerque in September 2023. When I moved to Utah, by myself, in January 2023, I got lonely and craved animal connection, so I began with Rover. It has been such a great thing in my life. I hope to continue my services in New Mexico. I now have 2 pups of my own, but my partner cares for them when I am sitting. I will never bring them to a sit unless prior meeting and permission of the owners. Bloopers and Scub are young, big, lover boys with a lot of energy. They LOVE other dogs. Sophie, my senior pup, had to be put down before I moved to Utah. I cared for her heart and kidney failure for 3 years. I am experienced with senior pups and can handle all the way down to puppies, too. I love cats. I am also a trained bird handler. I have pet sit for my professors and coworkers before, from hunting lab puppies to senior Maltese. Since moving to Utah at the beginning of the year, I have house sat, done drop-ins, and walks. I have house sat for all kinds of pups from labs to yorkies, goldendoodles to bulldogs. I work a very flexible full-time, telework option, job. I can check/walk in morning, lunch, dinner and through the night if needed. Week days and weekends. I have extensive experience giving pets drugs and other heath needs. I can do any form of exercise or travel needed. I will always double check doors are locked and secured.

“Tom was great with my pup! My dog has some anxiety/reactivity to other animals so I’m always apprehensive about having someone else care for him, but Tom has been very receptive to his needs. He has been kind and gentle which is just what my pup needs when first warming up to people.”


“Levi was extraordinarily sweet with my old, anxious dog. Ziggy adored him right away. Thank you, Levi!”


“So happy she was able to walk my dog on such short notice!”

I have worked in animal shelters and regularly care for my friends and families pets when they need along with a long history of fostering and rehabilitating pets of all kinds. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own. Currently I do not provide in home services due to the fact of having a senior dog of my own.

About: Lifelong dog ownership and running a dog walking business have taught me how to connect with pets of all kinds. I’ve learned to adapt to different temperaments and routines, and I’m especially comfortable with anxious or reactive dogs. I also grew up with a diabetic dog, so oral medication or injection administration is comfortable for me. I’m a full time student, but I don’t have a summer job, so my schedule is very flexible at the moment. I’m available for daytime, evening, and weekend care. I focus on keeping the pet’s environment calm, safe, and familiar. I try to follow their routine closely and make sure they’re never stressed or in unfamiliar situations. I respect your space and your pet’s boundaries, and I always prioritize comfort, safety, and trust.
