Pet Sitting in Evans Landing

About: Hi, I'm Stephanie, and this is my husband Luke. We're your Critter Companions, and with us, two is always better. For overnight stays we work as a team, which means double the attention, double the playtime, and an extra set of eyes on your property. We specialize in residential pet and property care. As independent caretakers, our mission is estate-level care that gives you complete peace of mind: your pets stay comfortable in their own home, and your property is truly looked after, not just checked on. ✦ What We Specialize In We're especially comfortable with the pets and situations that need extra care and attention: ✓ Special needs and senior pets (blind, deaf, mobility-challenged, or behaviorally complex) ✓ Complex medication schedules: pills, injections, eye drops, you name it ✓ High-maintenance breeds that need extensive grooming, intense exercise, or dedicated training ✓ Extended stays, comfortably caring for your pets for weeks or even months at a time ✓ Holiday care, because I don't disappear during Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's ✓ Multi-pet households, managing different personalities, feeding schedules, and needs ✓ Anxious or reactive pets, with patient, consistent care that helps nervous animals feel secure ✦ A Little About Us We were both raised around animals, but I turned that passion into my life's work. I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, the neighborhood's trusted pet sitter long before it was a profession. Thirteen years later, I've cared for everything from easy-going family dogs to high-maintenance breeds with special medical needs, for stays ranging from long weekends to month-long holidays. What clients tell me sets me apart is how I read animals. I pick up on the subtle changes in behavior, body language, and those little cues that tell you something's off before it becomes a problem. I'm not going through the motions; I love what I do, and that enthusiasm shows in how I care for your pets and your home. ✦ Your Home, Cared For I look after your home just as carefully: mail, plants, trash bins, security checks, and that lived-in presence that keeps your property safe. You'll receive regular photo and video updates so you can truly relax while you're away. ✦ Values You Can Trust Beyond the practical care, we believe the people you let into your home matter just as much as the work they do. We love the Lord, and our faith in Jesus shapes how we run our business and how we treat what's entrusted to us. For us that means a simple, steady lifestyle: we don't drink, smoke, party, or invite guests into your home. While you're away, your house stays exactly as it should, quiet, respected, and cared for, with nothing happening under your roof that you wouldn't welcome yourself. When you hand us your keys, you're trusting us with your home and your family. We take that seriously, and we hold ourselves to it no matter the circumstances. ✦ Let's Connect Over the years I've built lasting relationships with pets and their owners because I treat every home like my own and every pet like family. I'd be honored to earn that same trust from you. If you're looking for someone who will love and protect your pets (and home) like their own, let's connect. Pet care isn't a side hustle for me—it's my primary focus and passion. My husband and I are entrepreneurs with flexible schedules, which means we can provide the kind of attentive, present care that pets truly need. For overnight stays, we're in your home from evening through the following morning (and throughout the day if needed), so your pets are never alone for extended periods. We don't juggle multiple clients at once or rush between appointments. When we commit to caring for your pets, they have our full attention for the duration of your trip. We're available for extended stays including weekends, holidays, and even month-long commitments. Because we work as a team, your pets benefit from having two consistent caregivers who can coordinate schedules, provide extra play sessions, and ensure someone is always nearby if needed. In Your Home: I've been around animals literally since I was an infant—they've always been my comfort, my joy, and honestly, my obsession. There's something about the presence of animals that just feels like home to me, and that's exactly the energy I bring to your pets and property. As the owner of a young, energetic Miniature Australian Shepherd, I know firsthand what it takes to meet the demands of intelligent, high-energy breeds. I'm devoted to keeping my own dog mentally stimulated, physically tired, and emotionally fulfilled—and I bring that same level of commitment to every pet in my care. Your pets aren't just a job to me; they're loved and treated with the same compassion and attention I give my own. Pet Safety & Care: ✓I follow your routines exactly—feeding times, medication schedules, exercise patterns, and house rules ✓Secure all doors, windows, and gates before letting pets outside (no escape artists on my watch!) ✓Keep toxic plants, foods, and hazards out of reach ✓Monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health ✓Have your vet information and emergency contacts readily accessible ✓Never introduce your pets to unfamiliar animals or people without permission ✓Provide the mental stimulation and physical activity your pets need to stay happy and healthy Home Security & Cleanliness: ✓Maintain a "lived-in" presence with lights, blinds, and your normal routine ✓Collect mail and packages to avoid signaling an empty home ✓Take trash bins to/from curb on collection days ✓Water plants and maintain your home's appearance ✓Provide regular photo/video updates so you can see everything (and everyone) is doing great ✓I pride myself on attention to detail and cleanliness—you'll come home to a thoroughly cleaned space that exceeds expectations Trust & Respect: I treat your home with the utmost respect—no unauthorized guests ever and I leave your space cleaner than I found it. My husband and I work as a team, which means your pets get double the love and your home gets double the oversight. The best part? When you walk through that door after your trip, your pets will be more giddy than ever to see you—well-exercised, well-loved, and so happy you're home. And you can relax knowing everything was handled with care.

“Abby was an excellent cat sitter for Lulu! Usually, Lulu is nervous around strangers, but Abby was the cat whisperer. She spent time loving on Lulu as well as taking care of her needs. Abby sent pictures and videos along with her updates.”

“Madison took lovely care of my cat and sent me cute updates. She was also super communicative before I left regarding when to exchange keys, etc. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life! I would volunteer at my aunt's clinic during summer/ winter! I would also watch my sisters big/ small dogs all year-round while in school. I am back home from college and looking for side gigs especially with dogs along with my other job! They add extra happiness and fulfill my every week. when around dogs I will not take my eye off them! I will always listen to the instructions given by the owner. I know what pets need with every service!

About: I've had a love for animals since I was a kid and have previously fostered for the animal shelters because it brings me joy. I have 2 small fur babies of my own and I babysit my daughters miniature Schnauzer puppy during the week days. I work from home so my schedule is relatively open. I'm active so we enjoy walks and playing on our 12 acre property (during the summer). Our fur babies are never left unattended and we do keep them on leashes when they go outside on our property. During the winter I spend time spoiling our fur babies with lots of love, snuggles and indoor play time. I have 2 friendly small dogs (Arlo and Aveena) who love play dates. Our home is close to walking trails and we have plenty room for indoor activities.

“Mellany did a fantastic job taking care of our “spoiled” cat, Nin. She was extremely conscientious regarding her feeding and schedule. Mellany exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend her based on our experience. We would not hesitate requesting her services in the future.”

About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was 13, from farm animals to dogs and cats. Many neighbors, family friends and colleagues have trusted me to do quick visits, daytime walks, nightly check ins and even monthly stays. I have experience that varies from training the young ones, to giving the elders lots of love, attention and even medications when needed. I am also very willing to do baths if/when needed! I currently have a part-time job that starts at 6 and ends at 12 Monday and Tuesday, so I would have plenty of time to do any afternoon visits and even weekly stays. I am very flexible and can work around the perfect schedule with you! I am very accommodating when it comes to your fur babies needs. If I’m staying in your home, I will take all animals outside every 2-3 hours to play or go on walks. If stated in instructions, I can also take dogs to a dog park or on car rides when I go to the store. If there is a certain route for walks to take, I will also do that. Anything you’d like, I can do!

About: I have owned and cared for all types of pets since I was 5. I have always had dogs and cats, even other types of pets. I know how to feed, bathe, clean pet living areas and play with all animals! I have always been a caregiver both for humans and pets! I am a stay at home mom and a full time (online) student at the moment. So I have plenty of available blocks in my day! I am very attentive to your pets needs! I will make sure to always follow your structure/ routine you have set for your baby, and will intervene when needed for your pets safety and well being while in my care! I have the knowledge and ability to adapt my care to the type of pet I am servicing as well, ranging from dogs, cats, and other types of pets.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little and grew up around all kinds of animals. Dogs are so pure and so therapeutic to be around which is why I want to do it in my free time:) I’m a cna at kootenai about to start school, so I have a set schedule very far out in advance. I only work 3 days a week so my schedule is pretty open. I have a very relaxing environment, with one lab who we call a big butterfly, which is exactly who he is. He gets along with everyone and is very carefree.

About: Hi, my name is Carly. I myself am a dog mom and I understand how important it is to make sure your loved ones are in good care. I love taking care of animals. They are always part to the family. Growing up I have taken care of many animals for as long as I can remember. I work my schedule around the pet's schedule. Whether it's a quick little walk or long hours of play time. Every pet has their own needs that need to be met in a scheduled time. I personally love to give them my undivided attention. Playing fetch and dog games with them helps build a bond and trust. My dogs love to play fetch and go for walks, so I always set time aside for take them outside for a couple hours to play and go for a walk.

About: Drop-ins should be more than just a quick 'hello.' It's a chance to invest in the happiness of someone's best friend. Since childhood I've loved training our family's Golden Retrievers and Labs. In college we got my grandmother a German Shepherd and I quickly fell in love with his character and charm and he took good care of her for many years - except on the days when I stole him for a campout in the hammock. Puppies were always a wonderful opportunity to shape a wonderful dog for those few short months. And when I adopted a young neglected Husky with severe separation anxiety I really began to understand that I was the one being trained. He and the many fosters I took in after him have challenged me to think beyond tricks and good manners to the heart and happiness of the dog. To what really makes a bond. I took everything they taught me and jumped headlong onto the world of doodles and worked with a great team to train service dogs. And before I could process what had happened I was elbow deep in puppy shampoo, uti's and wet noses. And I love it. I hope I can take what would normally be a boring drop-in and give you peace of mind with consistent care and engaging opportunities for your pups with the added bonus of foundational training techniques and fun. I work part time and remotely so I have cameras set up to help me check in with my pups when I'm not at the home. I often take them with me and stop by parks. I currently offer boarding that provides a safe indoor and outdoor play-space. Fresh water, shade, misters and antlers on green turf with ramps and kennels. It's important to me that a pup who is feeling insecure can have a safe space away from the action while an excited social pup has the room to explore, relax and play.

About: I've been taking care of dogs of every kind since i was 7 years old. I also started my own dog walking business in the 6th grade walking neighbors, family, and friends dogs. As well as training my own dogs with potty training skills and adaptability. I also do well with un-trained dogs who are combative and temperamental by having completed a dog school training class. Your cherished pet will be handled with care, love, and in the best hands possible. I am open to same day bookings and will also be able to show via phone or in person the place where the onboarding will be held. All services are provided, i will always begin to ask for any diet restrictions, bad habits, and skin conditions. For while in my care i will be feeding, playing, walking, and more than likely bathing your pet so i want to be able to make sure your beloved family pet is well taken care of and comfortable while in my care.

About: I'm quite versatile and can adapt to stressful situations easily, should they arise. I have experience raising my own pets, helping raise others, and training pets. I can provide care for pets of any size, species, and age. I administer medications, provide ample playtime and exercise, and most importantly, snuggle to the heart's content (so long as your pet tolerates it). I've sat in the past for birds, lizards, dogs, cats, and fish, and I'll love your animals nearly as much as you do! I'm quite passionate about keeping spaces clean and comfortable for the pets as well, as I am quite organized and know that nobody wants to work with a disorganized sitter. Pet sitting is my full-time occupation as of right now, so I can be there for your pets whenever they need it. I do have a busy schedule, but I will always ensure that your animals come first and I can be with them as often as they need it. I always ensure that pets are treated as well as the humans in the household. I like to sleep and snuggle with pets, take them where I go as much as is permitted, and play with them outside as often as possible. I am not quick to force animals to spend time with me, I always let them have the choice to approach me first, but if they adjust quickly and enjoy my company, I really lay on the love.

About: I got my first pet, a hamster, when i was six! I followed up with a Guinea pig. When i turned 11, i got my first cat Patience. All of these pets i fully cared for, and did chores in order to pay for supplies. This is what fueled my love for pets! When i turned 15, i got my first dog. Sadly he passed away from illness, but it was a lesson learned on how to care for special needs dogs. My cat Patience died when i was 20 at the age of 9. That sparked me to get a dog not long after (since my cat never got along with the dog i had, i felt it best to give her a single pet home). Ive spent the last two years training Rollo and learning everything i can about making his time here special! He’s made my love for animals deepen, causing me to want to get further involved in animals as a part of my every day life! I hope to one day become a dog trainer, and specialize in obedient house pets! Im currently working a day job, but have too much time on my hands! I am available weekdays after 4, and all day long on weekends! I care for all animals like they are my own. Pets live shorter lives than us, so its my goal to make their lives the best they can be! I love going on walks with my dog, and playing fetch at the dog park! I always make sure my clients pet gets along well with mine if i plan on having him tag along! Its a great way to socialize the pets, and it gives them something to look forward to!

About: Trusting your dog with anyone is a big deal, and I want you to feel at ease the entirety of the stay. Just know that you can count on me. I will not only make sure they are safe but also give them lots of love. Experience: I’ve always been a big animal lover! When I was around 13, I began pet sitting for friends and people around the neighborhood. Now, I have about 6 years experience pet sitting different clients. Taking care of and just being around dogs gives me so much joy, and I think this is the greatest job in the world!😊🐾 The sitting process: If wanted, I am available for meet and greets to make sure I am the perfect fit for you and your family! During the pet sitting process, I will give you updates on how your dog is doing, and send you pictures of your baby while you are away. I can take them on walks, play, feed, give them medication, and more. Just ask if there’s anything special you need done. I will request a lot of information about what your needs and wants before hand just to make sure we are on the same page. If I am staying at your home, one of my goals is to make your lives easier! So if there are little things that need to be done I can do it if asked. I am very responsible. I am an accounting major, so I am very detail oriented, precise, and responsible in anything that I do 😉 About me: I am 21 years old and currently enrolled at the University of Utah. But, I live in California now with my parents finishing my last year of school online! I am going to be a lease accountant when I graduate. Because I can do everything from my computer, I have a ton of time for your pet. I also, have 3 pets (2 dogs 1 cat) but they are technically my parents, so I can make your pets my priority! I am currently finishing up my senior year of college doing online classes, and when I graduate I already have a work from home job lined up. So, I have a lot of spare time to care for your pet! I am available even on short notice a lot of the time. I do all my school on my computer so I can keep your dog company without leaving them alone. Trust is the most important thing for me when dog sitting. I want you and your dog to both be able to trust and rely on me. It is so important to find someone trustworthy when it comes to our pets because they are the most important things in the world for us. Feel free to call or FaceTime me anytime to see how your baby is doing. I will always answer. I will send updates and photos. I will also let you know whenever I go somewhere. And like I said, I am available to do a meet and greet before hand.

About: I’ve had dogs in the house since I was 6 and I’ve always loved them! I have done pet sitting before and am excited to see how I can help you and your pet! I work full time, 7am to 4pm, but I work remote so I’m able to do house sitting during the week assuming I have good wifi, and for walks or drop bys I can do before or after work! I am able to help however you need! I have experience pet sitting in other peoples home and know that a well loved dog is a happy dog and have no problem working with dietary issues, taking them on long walks, long hikes, and providing them with lots of love. I love the outdoors and am happy to provide the services you need.

“Hannah came by twice for me to take care of Zeke. She did exactly what I needed her to do and I couldn't be happier. I liked that she knew how to use the gentle leader, head harness. She walked Zeke each time, sent me pictures, and left me a note to let me know how it went for her.”
