About: Hi and welcome to Idyllwild! Our names are Anna and Tyler and we are full time residents of this beautiful mountain town. 🏔️ We both have grown up with dogs and have two super friendly dogs named Gus and Murphy who spend their days running around in our fully fenced in back yard and going on walks about the scenic neighborhood. We love having furry friends over and giving them their own little mountain adventure! Guaranteed play time outside for most of the day and lots of cuddles and belly rubs. We’re a great resource for when you want to go on hikes in the area as most of the trails are not dog friendly! We both work from home full time so your dog will get lots of love and attention! For our furry friends doing drop in visits and walks, we can accommodate any schedule and frequency, as our work days are very flexible! You can expect your dog(s) to have plenty of fun, supervised, run around time in the backyard. Lots of different space for play or naps 🎉

About: I’ve always loved animals since childhood, growing up with my parents always rescuing strays. Over the years, I’ve developed strong skills in dog care, focusing on comfort and trust. What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my ability to make pets feel at ease through a comforting touch, a unique scent I wear to ensure they recognize me, and creating a calming environment where they feel safe and cared for. I also always make sure to send pet owners picture updates of their pets to ensure they’re doing okay and to always ask questions if I am unsure about anything. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine! I’m always available because I’m passionate about making pet sitting my full-time career. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just hanging out with pets, I love spending time with them and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. Caring for pets feels natural to me, and I’m excited to make it a regular part of my life! In both my home and my clients’ homes, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick to their usual routines, whether that’s feeding, walks, or playtime, and I provide plenty of attention and affection. I always stay with them every step of the way, showering them with pets and ensuring they’re comfortable with me and their surroundings. I create a calm, stress-free environment, and if needed, I bring familiar items like toys or blankets to help them feel at home. My goal is to make sure they feel completely relaxed, loved and cared for!

About: I have had dogs and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I love all creatures and will pamper your pup! I know how important it is for dogs to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away and will give your dog all the love and attention it needs! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me plenty of time to spend taking care of your pet. When I do work, it's only for a few hours at a time, so I can stick with your dog's routine for eating and walking and such. I have a fenced yard with a bit of grass and one small senior dog who gets along with dogs and cats. I don't mind dogs on the couch and we have a cute park down the road for walks and outside play time.

About: I have several years of experience caring for exotic and domestic wildlife, and over a decade providing quality care for cats and dogs. I am currently available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays! If you are a NEW client wanting to book an overnight stay please contact me at least three days ahead of the booking so we have time to discuss the conditions of the stay. I do not accept last minute requests for house sittings. I have several years of experience house sitting for puppies/kittens, adult, and elderly dogs/cats. I am also familiar with the preparation of specialized diets, and administering certain medications (oral, or injection) if needed. I am happy to stay overnight for extended lengths of time to care for pets in their home. If there are any other furry friends in the household I would be happy to provide care for them as well! I have experience caring for a wide range of animals and would be happy to provide for other household pets such as: guinea pigs, birds, reptiles, rabbits, and rodents. I believe that every animal, regardless of size or age, deserves the best care possible. Your pet's happiness is my biggest priority! I currently work part-time at a rescue where I care for cats and dogs, helping them find their forever homes! My schedule ranges from 3-4 days a week with either 5 or 8 hour shifts. Please keep this in mind when booking as there are some days when I will have to be away for 8+ hours for work. While staying at your home, I can be around as much or as little as is preferred by your pet. Meeting your pet's needs is my priority and I want them to have a similar routine so they feel comfortable with me.

About: I grew up with a spunky black lab who lived to be 16 years old. Now I get to live with my sibling and my dog-niece who I also hope lives a long, healthy, happy life! We've been housemates for a few years now. Gently combing her curly hair is my favorite. I have an adaptable flow where I can give a pet activity if they are young and need it, or take it easy if they are older. I work with a flexible schedule from my laptop between Salt Lake County and Utah County, so I can adapt to your needs too! I like to first ask what schedule or routine your pet is used to and see how closely I can match that and their temperament. I'm used to an easeful morning, getting sun during lunch, and then some other kind of outing later in the evening even if it's just a walk. I like to try to make it to a team meeting Thursdays and Fridays in Salt Lake. I can time it so I'm not gone for long, or I can reschedule meetings depending on the circumstances, commute, animal temperament, etc. I'm happy to come to your place or host your pet at mine. I'm in a condo so I'll limit my boarding services to one pet at a time. If it's possible for me to come to you and get acquainted with your pet before overnight stays, I'd prefer that for more easeful transitions. If you come to my place, my apartment complex has green spaces and waste bag dispensaries distributed throughout the property where I walk my dog-niece in the evening. But during the day the dog is away with my sibling and I'm all alone. So your pet will have my attention. I'll ensure pets have their own separate, undisturbed sleeping space. If I come to your space, then of course your pet will be most familiar and cozy.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
