Full Time Care

Pet care experience

Caring, Dependable, Detail Oriented Transport, Medications, All Sizes/Breeds/Ages, Any Diet (including Raw) Every pet in my care receives my sole focus during our time together. You can travel with peace of mind knowing that your loved ones are enjoying the comforts of their own routine, sleeping arrangements, walking routes, and meals. I strive to create minimal disruption to your pet’s typical days, provide consistent enrichment, get plenty of exercise in and follow all dietary or medical needs. I am a confident walker, creating strong relationships with each dog in order to provide a safe and fun excursion for your pet and those around us. Reactive dogs are in good hands, and no challenge for me. Backyard play, hiking, and other forms of exercise are all within my wheelhouse. I can walk dogs on/off leash at request depending on local rules. Whether you need a drop in during a long work day, or a week away with the family, I will happily keep your pets cozy until you return.

August did a great job dog and house sitting for us for 3 days and 2 nights. He was responsible, caring, and took the initiative to do a couple of things that we didnt even ask him to do. We came back to a neat, clean house and a happy dog. I don't have any reservations about recommending him to new clients and we will definitely ask for him first the next time we have the need for a sitter.

August was excellent at communicating and took amazing care of our fur babies. They sent photos regularly, our girls looked happy and well cared for and they took great care of our home. We would absolutely ask them back to help again.

August was very responsive, thoughtful and a good communicator. He sent lots of updates about my dog and how he was doing. My house was in good order and my dog seemed happy and content upon my return! Would recommend him for sure!

August did an amazing job with our dog and two cats. We were visiting SLC and needed someone to watch our animals over two days while we were at an event. Our dog was very anxious the first night due to 4th of July fireworks and the change of environment but August handled him well and kept him as calm as possible until we returned. He even stayed an extra 30 minutes while my husband was stuck in traffic. By the second day our dog was relaxed while we were gone because he knew August was a safe person. August was communicative throughout both days and kept us updated with photos and notes on how the animals were doing. I highly recommend August to anyone who needs a kind, patient pet sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

While I cannot board pets in my own home, I embrace any and all safety measures instructed, as well as anticipate any safety issues and resolve them before an incident can occur.

Information August S. would like to know about your pet

What is your friend’s favorite toy? How do they like to be pet? What tricks do they know - or need help learning? Let me know if there are any house rules (shoes on/off, pets on furniture, barking inside, allowed treats, pass codes or key locations) or any allergies in the household. Location of food and leashes will also be helpful.

A typical day

I love to let pets take the lead on what kind of activities they are in the mood for! Affectionate cuddle time, energetic play, refreshing walks and enrichment are all perfect ways to care for a fluffy loved one. I will follow all structured routine items like meds, feedings, walks, and potty breaks.
