Caring for Dogs, Cats, & More!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Whitney Throckmorton. I am a 21 year old full-time college student who's seeking an animal sitting and dog walking jobs near Provo, Utah. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. I then started dog sitting at 15 for my neighbors' dog. Throughout the years, I have owned and dealt with many different animals, so if you need a pet sitter to pet sit a different kind of pet, don't be afraid to contact me! I have also watched and read a lot about animals and, specifically, dog behavior to understand all types of breeds and have learned a lot with the many animals I have taken care of on and off this app. I have experience with sick pups, old pups, young pups, and your basic adult pup. I also have experience with taking care of cats and week(s) old kittens. I can do basic grooming for free. This would be things like, giving your pet a bath, clipping their nails, and brushing their hair. I am happy to help with caring for sick animals, administering medication, bathing animals, and basic house training. I am also very comfortable handling and sitting for more exotic animals as well. E.g., Guinea Pigs, Birds, Hedgehogs, Tarantulas, Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches, reptiles, Axolotls, etc. (Nothing that stings though... sorry!) However, If you are looking for a sitter to care for farm animals (horses, cows, etc.), please find someone else. I can do chickens, though! I try to adapt to each pet/animal and their needs so they are comfortable and happy! I want to get to know your pet and ensure they are well cared for while their owner(s) are away. I will make sure to take photos and care for your pet(s) the way you request. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to make you or your pets more comfortable while they are in my care!

Whitney was great with Astro. He’s very skittish around people and she was able to give him attention during the stay. I definitely recommend her.

Whitney helped watch my cats last minute when I had a family emergency. Always makes sure they’re fed & played with!

ENVIRONMENT I do live with family who love animals! We own THREE small dogs, 2 guinea pigs, and a bird. If you are worried about your pet with our bird and pigs, I will make sure to have their cages closed whenever your pet is in close range. The third pup is my brother and his wife’s. She is a mini aussie with some husky mixed in. She is very good and mostly hangs out with her little family in the basement but she does come up to play with the others😊 We also have a fenced in yard. However, if you pet likes to dig and tries to squeeze underneath things, I will make sure to keep an eye on them because our fence if fairly easy to squeeze under if they try hard enough to get through. I will always keep you updated with whats going on and will make sure to take lots of cute pictures! I will also make sure to ask any questions regarding your pet if I am uncertain with anything.

Information Whitney T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your animal has any disabilities (physical or mental) or struggles (e.g. separation anxiety, ptsd, etc.) so I can understand and adapt to their needs. Please also let me know if there is anything that can trigger angry barking or aggressive behavior (bikers, other dogs/animals, kids, etc). I want to get to know your pet and ensure they are well cared for while you’re away. I will make sure to take photos and care for your pet(s) the way you request. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to make you or your pets more comfortable while they are in my care!

A typical day

Within the home, I’ll play with them and their toys, making sure to motivate them to run around to get their energy out!! If they want to relax and chill on the couch with me, that’s perfectly fine too! If there’s anything specific you’d like me to do with your pet, feel free to ask!

SCHEDULE Because I am a college student, I do have 2 to 3 classes on the weekdays but they are very spread out so If I am staying over night or boarding your pet, I will have to leave for an hour or two for classes but I will make sure to communicate with you if I do! If you are unsure about scheduling and times, feel free to ask me any questions. It may need you to request me before. But if that’s the case, just request me anything but make sure to also send a text letting me know those wont be the exact dates/times and you have some questions before finalizing anything and we can go on from there! I mostly do boarding for smaller dogs, drop-in sitting for any type of animal, and dogs walks but I am happy to stay overnight if I am able to leave for my classes for a few hours. I cannot do dog walking or over night stays on Sundays. However, if a drop-in or over night stays are scheduled with me for more than one day and it overlaps to Sunday, that is completely fine but I will have church.
