Full Time Boutique Care!

Pet care experience

We love pets! We are currently offering boutique care for the autumn and winter seasons - including Christmas! We specialize in full-time pet & home care offering presence to local pets to help alleviate stress and keep routines and happiness moving forward in a steady, reliable hum. Both my husband, Stephen and I, are mid-career professionals, offering personalized concierge care in Park City and throughout the Valley, including the Avenues, and as far reaching as Heber City and Lehi. We love pets - dogs, cats, and all animals, and one daydream of having our own cottage and land, including working border collies and a cattery. During the day, Stephen relies on his physics background to problem solve and engineer electric car innovation, and I utilize my terminal writing degree to imbibe in classical studies, currently focusing on Greek history and drama. Our evenings are rich with music at the Utah Symphony | Utah Opera, where I am a lyric soprano with the chorus, serving at our local church in Park City, and preparing for the approaching ski season. With a remote schedule, sprinkled throughout with yoga, hiking, and ballet practice, I delight in spending my days and evenings offering presence to local pets. It truly makes a difference. With over thirty combined years of experience caring for pets as well as five years of experience offering care for local friends & family, high-value individuals, cabins deep in the Wasatch Mountains, and private global families, reliability, professional care, and communication, are a well-practiced art. Our three-prong approach to pet care is safety, trust, and comfort. For in-home care, we ensure their favorite places, blankets, toys, and treats are available, and routines are followed to cultivate comfort as well as play encouraged to maintain engagement and interest. Shy? We provide a gentle presence with lots of encouragement. Friendly? We provide lots of attention and play time. Hungry? No need to ask twice, we love to shower your cat and kittens with a lavish buffet, per your dietary preferences. I have also had the privilege to assist on a home management team, and I am happy to coordinate alongside the additional team to ensure that home & pet care continues flourishing. We look forward to meeting you and cannot wait to provide friendly and personalized care for you, your pets, and your home! “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.” – Anatole France

We love Anna & Stephen so much! So glad we found them! They are so good to our animals. Most importantly all our animals love them too! They are very communicative everyday. When Anna & Stephen stay with our pups, we know they are safe and happy and in good hands.

Anna and Stephen were the ideal pet/house sitters. They took amazing care of our doggie and sent pictures of their adventures every day. I can't say enough how much I appreciated their great care!

Fabulous couple, they know how to split the duties of dog AND house sitting with ease. Felt comfortable with them immediately. Chacco loved them and they bonded quickly. Stephen knew how to connect with my dog without any prompting from me. Anna kept my house spotless and made sure Chaccco got all his food and treats. They both took turns walking with Chacco daily. If one was busy the other covered. Anna sent multiple photos of him daily assuring me all was ok. They communicated very well and asked questions if they needed clarification. We were gone for two weeks in Europe and the Rover App worked perfectly. Chacco looked so happy (wondered if he’d miss us!) I would hire this team over and over again.

Anna and Stephen were absolutely wonderful sitters for our two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. They were attentive, kept us updated throughout our trip, and clearly cared about making sure the dogs felt comfortable and well loved. We don’t like leaving our pups, so having that steady communication and peace of mind meant so much. They were also very tidy and respectful of our home, and as an added bonus, they even took great care of our fish. We came home to happy dogs, a clean house, and everything in perfect order. We’ve already booked them again for next month and are genuinely looking forward to having them care for our dogs again. Highly recommend!
