Pet Sitting Kearns

“Kara took fantastic care of my cat while I was away! She made sure to send pictures every day of my cat, which made me feel so much better being away from home knowing my cat was getting human interaction and attention while I was gone. Would recommend her to anyone who wants a sitter who truly makes the effort to care for their pets!”

“Stephanie took great care of my little pup while I had to go on a quick overnight trip. Plenty of photos, and she even changed out his water because I totally forgot to before I left. Would absolutely recommend.”

“Spencer was great with our senior pittie. He worked with her some on her separation anxiety. He arrived on time and left on time. He is a gem of a sitter and we look forward to having him back.”

About: I’ve raised many dogs and cats throughout my life and understand their needs—whether they’re barking, meowing, or simply communicating through their behavior. Reading pets’ social cues is essential to loving and caring for them properly. As a lifelong pet lover , I’m committed to not only caring for your animals but also getting to know you. Leave your pets in my care with confidence! I’m a stay-at-home wife and mom to two wonderful furbabies. I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, playtime, and care they need during boarding. I truly enjoy spending time with my own pets and those I look after! Every pet in my care is treated with love, attention, and respect for their individual needs. I not only follow their regular schedule, but will also take the time to learn about each pet’s specific preferences and routines from their owners. My goal is to make your pet feel completely at home—safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they are with you. Pets are welcome to roam freely throughout the house and enjoy supervised playtime in the backyard. For those who tend to mark new spaces, I offer belly bands as a gentle option—no judgment at all! I keep the environment clean and cozy, with fresh water always available. Whether your pet loves cuddles or prefers a bit more space, they’ll receive the level of attention and affection they’re most comfortable with. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities. ❤️🩷❤️

“Rebooked with Sammy, love working with her and Maisie adores her. Appreciate the time and care Sammy takes with Maisie and will be booking with her again as often as I can.”

About: I provide calm, home-based dog boarding designed to feel less like traditional boarding and more like staying with someone your dog already knows and loves. My guests get plenty of attention, affection, playtime, outdoor breaks, naps, and cuddles while they’re here. I intentionally keep things small and personal, caring for one dog or household at a time. My goal is simple: every dog in my home should feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Dogs have been a huge part of my life for almost 30 years. I spent about 15 years fostering and helping rehabilitate abused and neglected dogs, volunteered as a dog specialist in high-stress shelter environments, and completed animal behavior and handling training through Best Friends Animal Society and Salt Lake County Animal Services. That experience taught me that dogs aren’t one-size-fits-all. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and figuring out what makes them feel happiest and most at home. Most importantly, I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. I want you to leave knowing they’re safe, loved, understood, and probably being spoiled a little more than they’ll admit when you get home. I keep our daily routine flexible based on the needs of the pups staying with me. Energetic and ready to go? There will be plenty of walks, outdoor time, play, and opportunities to burn off that energy. More of a couch potato? Laid-back days, cozy naps, and couch snuggles are some of my favorite pastimes! Because I intentionally keep the number of dogs in my care exclusive, I'm able to get to know each pup's personality and make sure they get the right balance of activity, attention, play, and downtime. Not every dog wants to do the same thing, and that's perfectly okay. I work part-time outside the home Monday through Friday and am typically away for about 4–6 hours during the day. Before I leave, pups get plenty of time for breakfast, attention, and a potty break, and once I'm home, we're right back to our normal routine of outdoor time, play, lounging, and lots of attention. To work around my weekday schedule, Monday through Friday drop-offs and pick-ups are available before 9:30 AM or after 4:30 PM. Weekend drop-off and pick-up times are more flexible and can be arranged individually. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority. There are no resident pets or young children in the home, which helps create a quieter, lower-stress environment for dogs who prefer a little more peace and consistency. My family are all dog people, so pups are always surrounded by people who genuinely love and enjoy them. We have a fenced patio/run where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, stretch their legs, and take easy potty breaks throughout the day. I also have a secure lead setup in the front yard where dogs who enjoy the outdoors can safely relax, sunbathe on the outdoor bed, sniff around, and enjoy some fresh air while supervised. We’re also surrounded by some of Daybreak’s best dog-friendly parks, walking trails, and green space, including areas near the lake, which means lots of safe, leashed walks, fresh air, sniffing, and enrichment. For their safety and comfort while I’m away from home, boarding dogs must be kennel-trained and comfortable spending a few hours relaxing in their kennel. I have kennels available for small and medium-sized dogs. If your pup requires a kennel larger than medium, please plan to bring an appropriately sized kennel for their stay. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I require a meet & greet for all new clients to make sure we are a great fit before booking.

About: Hi, I’m Miranda, but you can call me Manda! If you’re looking for a sitter who truly understands canine behavior, boundaries, and safety, your pet is in experienced hands. I currently work at a professional dog daycare, boarding, and training facility, where my daily routine revolves around managing dogs of all sizes, breeds, energy levels, and temperaments. From high-energy playgroups to sensitive, cautious pups, I spend every day reading body language and creating safe, low-stress environments. Specialized Experience with Complex Behaviors & Medical Care Many dogs don't fit into the typical one-size-fits-all pet care model, and that's okay! Through my facility work, I regularly manage: Medication Administration: Experienced in administering daily oral medications and supplements, including direct pill-pilling when a dog refuses food or pill pockets. Reactivity & Leash Frustration: Safe, vigilant handling for dogs reactive to other dogs, bikes, or strangers on walks. Aggression & Boundary Sensitivity: Working respectfully with dogs who guard resources, dislike being handled or touched unexpectedly, or need slow, low-pressure introductions. Muzzle Support: Calm, positive handling for dogs conditioned to or requiring basket muzzles for safety. Structured Routines: Consistent reinforcement of your existing house rules, crate routines, and training cues. Safety, Communication, & Peace of Mind Whether your dog is easygoing and social, shy and fearful, or requires strict safety protocols, my priority is keeping them calm, secure, and enriched while you’re away. You can count on: Strict attention to doors, gates, and secure leash-handling (double-leash tethering and safety clips when needed). Full respect for your dog's triggers, medical schedule, and daily training plans. Clear, prompt communication with frequent photo and video updates. I require a Meet & Greet prior to any booking to ensure your pup feels comfortable with me and that we’re completely aligned on their care plan. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! Weekly Availability Thursday through Saturday: Fully open and available for pet care, walks, drop-ins, and dedicated one-on-one attention. Sunday through Wednesday: I work 8:00 AM–7:00 PM at a professional dog daycare, boarding, and training facility. On these days, I am currently unavailable, unfortunately. What Your Dog's Day Looks Like Working full-time at a high-volume facility means structured, safe routines are second nature to me: Attentive Care & Enrichment: Daily feedings on your exact schedule, fresh water at all times, potty breaks, and interactive play or quiet snuggles—tailored entirely to what your dog prefers. Behavior-Aware Management: I handle upwards of 20 dogs at a time at my day job, including reactive and sensitive dogs. I maintain that same high standard of vigilance for your pup—reading body language, respecting personal space, and avoiding stressful triggers. Pill & Med Routines: Any oral medications, supplements, or direct pill administration are handled precisely on time. Regular Updates: You’ll get clear, detailed updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing. Working daily in a high-volume boarding and training facility means proactive safety is second nature to me. I don’t just watch dogs; I actively manage their environment to prevent stress, escape, or conflict before it happens: Door & Gate Vigilance: Strict threshold protocols to ensure no darting at exterior doors, gates, or entryways. Secure Handling: Double-checking collars, harnesses, and leashes prior to stepping outside. For reactive or flight-risk dogs, I utilize double-tethering leashes or safety clips. Trigger Management: On walks, I actively scan the surroundings to create distance from other dogs, bikes, or triggers to keep outings low-stress and controlled. Health, Medical, & Facility Knowledge Precise Med Administration: Fully comfortable and experienced with daily oral medications, supplements, and direct pilling for dogs that refuse treats. Body Language Expertise: I constantly read subtle shifts in canine body language—early signs of stress, fatigue, overarousal, or pain—and adjust accordingly. Sanitation & Freshness: High standards for cleanliness, including daily sanitized bowls, fresh water, and clean resting areas. Building Trust with You & Your Dog Tailored to Their Comfort: Whether your dog craves affection or needs distance, I let them set the pace. I never force physical contact on dogs who prefer their own space. Transparent Communication: You will receive regular photo and video updates, along with honest notes about their potty habits, meals, behavior, and overall mood. Mandatory Meet & Greet: Prior to confirming any booking, we will do a thorough meet-and-greet to walk through your dog’s specific quirks, triggers, and safety needs so everyone feels 100% confident.

About: My family has always had a dog. Since I was young I’ve helped care for them. Now I‘ve had a dog of my own since 2020 and I love her to death. I house trained her myself and taught her a few tricks. She loves going on hikes, swimming and playing fetch. She’s extremely spoiled. I work from home full time so will be with the dogs all days long. My schedule is very flexible so I can take them for walks and bathroom breaks as often as needed. I have a 6 year old female dog who is very calm and will keep your dog company. I have a long leash out back that I can let the dogs out and keep them close to the house. It’s not fenced but it is private.

“I don't have enough compliments for how M.K. cares for my pets. I know that when I get home they will be happy and healthy. I couldn't ask for more.”

“Vanessa took such good care of my dog and kitty! Was very communicative and thorough in asking questions and in making sure they were taking care of! She sent me many pictures? would definitely rebook!”

“Madison is an amazing cat sitter! My cat is extremely shy and rarely lets anyone pet her, but Madison was able to earn her trust and even get some pets in. She followed all of my instructions perfectly, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and cleaning up, and she went above and beyond by vacuuming my home. I could not be happier with her care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable sitter.”
