“Kirk is a phenomenal dog sitter and house sitter. I am so grateful we found him. Our sweet sensitive golden was happy, healthy and calm upon our return - no sign of anxiousness whatsoever even though we were away for almost 2 weeks. The house was spotless and very well cared for as well. I highly recommend Kirk!”


“Mark did a great job taking care of my pets. I felt safe leaving them with him. I especially liked receiving daily videos. It was reassuring to see my sensitive dog smiling. Mark also left left the house clean which I appreciated.”


“Sydney was so great with our two dogs! They can be a little picky but Sydney was able to have them warm right up to her. She made us comfortable being away from our dogs as we knew she was taking excellent care of them! She sent us photos and videos to help us know they were doing well. We will be booking her again on the future!”


“With my one dog we needed someone to stay with her for the day, just to help keep an eye on her & keep her content with her routine. Meretta was so good with our dogs & helped our one dog cope with me being gone for the day. She also helped our skittish cat feel safe with her & helped him warm up to her during her stay. I loved how aware she was when any of our pets were feeling anxious & helped them work through it to feel safe with her in our own home.”


“Gayle did an excellent job with our dogs. They were well taken care of and she took care of our cat as well. We have a timid German Shepard that does not trust a lot of people, but she loved Gayle. We would use her again and again!! I would recommend Gayle to anyone!!!”


“Lexie was fantastic! From the moment she arrived, she was a beacon of support, providing frequent updates and delightful photos that truly put our minds at ease while we were away. Our dogs took to her immediately, visibly excited and comfortable in her presence. She was exceptionally communicative, always checking in and ensuring that she fully understood and addressed all our specific needs regarding their care. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets and went above and beyond to make sure they felt loved and secure.”


“Makenzie is absolutely amazing! Our little guy had such a great time with her and looked so happy when we came home. She sent us tons of pics and kept us updated. We’ll be using her again very soon!”


“Jami is awesome! She was patient and kind to my two anxious pups. They warmed up to her quickly. She took good care of my house while we were away. Will definitely use her for future needs!”


About: *please see ”availability” for times I’m available* As a kid I’ve had a variety of small pets and currently two cats. I’ve cared for neighbor kids, dogs, cats, hamsters, and chinchillas. I was an intern at West Mountain Veterinary Hospital and am going to UVU for Pre-Vet right now. Every booking helps pay for college! **Due to college and a job I’ll only be available weekends, mornings, and evenings starting Aug 20th. I will be unavailable 11-6 ish weekdays. Most likely I will be available and in town for upcoming holidays though :) To make sure your pet is having the best experience I’d like to have you tell me a little about them! And if I’ll be house sitting I’ll need a run down of emergency contacts, medication, and the likes.

About: My husband and I are a pet-loving team offering double the care, attention, and flexibility. I grew up with a sweet small dog named Teddy and shared a close bond with my cat Suki for four wonderful years. My husband brings experience with larger dogs, and together we provide a balanced and loving environment for pets of all sizes and personalities. We’re dependable, gentle, and treat every pet like family—with two of us, your furry friend will get plenty of attention, love, and care around the clock. I currently work part-time as an Esthetician, usually on Tuesdays and occasionally Fridays, which means I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets throughout the week. My husband works full-time Monday through Friday until 5 PM, so if I ever have an evening shift, he’s available to step in and help. With both of us working together, we’re able to offer consistent, attentive care—even on busy days. Whether your pet needs a midday potty break, playtime, or overnight snuggles, we’ve got it covered! Since I’m not able to host pets at my home, I offer personalized care right in the comfort of yours—where your pet feels safest and most relaxed. I’ll follow your routine closely, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, or snuggles on the couch. I’ll keep your pet company, respect your space, and make sure everything stays clean and well-maintained. My goal is to give your pet love and attention like you never left, and to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Shaylee was great! I’m always nervous leaving my dog at home for a long period of time. Shaylee took great care of my dog and gave me updates which made me feel better. I will be using her again in the future. I highly recommend her!”


“Breanna is amazing and was able to accommodate our many needs with our huskies. She stayed with them so they weren't alone. She took them to the park to play and they lkved her so much. I highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to watch their pets.”


“Cali took excellent care of Gabby and Gidget. It is so nice to know we have a trustworthy and caring pet sitter for the future. She was able to come earlier than what we originally planned and was always quick to respond.”


About: I've been around animals my whole life. I'm excited to take care of your furry family. I've trained horses and I have a dog of my own who is very sweet and kind. I work at nights at an arcade but I'm able to walk your pets, or drop by all hours of the day. I'll make sure they're well taken care of and loved 😋🩷 I have an open house, large back yard and a sizable built in kennel off to the side of the house. I'll be able to take care of all your pets needs and we'll have lots of fun together

“Stephanie did a great job sitting for us. Our first meet and greet went great. She was engaging with our pets and was already trying to gain their trust. While we were gone we felt very confident that she had things under control. We have a cat the needs meds and although she wasn’t able to do the pills orally she was able to figure out a different way to get our cat to take her meds. Our pets were well taken care of and our home was left clean and tidy. She even washed and changed the sheets and towels. Stephanie is extremely responsible and did what she said she was going to do and was reliable and responded quickly. Well done.”


About: Please note: We prefer hypoallergenic dogs since I have a son that's a little allergic, but we're willing to meet your dog and see how he does. He's fine with some dogs so we haven't figured it out. My family and I love dogs. They're therapeutic and we LOVE to snuggle them and play with them. I’ve had many years of experience with dogs. I've taken care of senior dogs and a dog with special needs, I've taken care of puppies, I've taken care of a female dog in heat and I've had up to 6 dogs at my house before for a dog play date. I've raised two puppies in my lifetime and I've had several different dogs, most of them were rescue dogs from the shelter. I've gone to people's homes to house sit and watch their dogs or to just let their dogs out, I've walked peoples dogs and I've met several different kinds of dogs when we take our dog to the dog park. I love them all and so does my dog Milo! I'm a stay at home mom so I am home often and will be available for your dog as much as I can. I can play with your dog(s), snuggle them, feed them, walk them and love them. I do prefer dogs that don't bark a whole lot, since I have a baby that still naps. I have a fenced backyard and I have a friendly dog that will welcome and play with your dog. Assuming your dog is house trained, I'm happy to have them in my home but if it's good weather, I do put them outside often during the day. If your dog likes to run off, please make sure you let me know so we can be extra careful. Although I have a son that's learning to keep the front door shut so dogs won't run out and a toddler who is curious and pulls at dogs hair sometimes, I will try everything in my power to keep your dog safe and feeling comfortable and loved!

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, starting from my childhood as I was raised at my family’s farm. Over the years, I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends and family members when they travel, caring for a variety of breeds including doodles, schnauzers, and hounds. I currently have two lovable Great Pyrenees mixes and a cat of my own, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or overnight care, I treat every pet like part of the family—because that’s exactly what they are. Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening cuddles, I can easily adjust my day to meet your pet’s routine. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so making time for it never feels like a chore, it’s a part of my lifestyle. I take care of pets on walks by make sure it’s not too hot or cold outside, touching the pavement, watching for discarded food on the ground, and keeping them focused on the walk and not on other animals or people.

About: I have four children ages 17-11 who love animals. We lost our dog four years ago and miss him like crazy. We reach for other peoples’ pets on hikes and walks. We would love to care for your pet for a few days. I’m home this year working on house projects. I’m happy to have company while I read, walk, and do life at home. We have a walking path close to our home that is fenced from the road. I have a big room in my home, a garage, and a fenced acre with shade trees and a dog house. Please bring a crate with your dog and any preferred feeding bowls and accessories.
