Bailey is so awesome. She is very communicative and I always have peace of mind knowing she’s checking on my boy while I’m at work. She takes lots of pictures and always updates me on potty breaks. She goes above and beyond. 10/10 recommend booking with Bailey!

About: I’m an Animal Studies major with professional animal care experience at a rescue sanctuary and an AZA accredited zoo where I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, farm animals, and even many exotic species. I am trained in animal behavior, enrichment, and handling, and I bring that same care and attention to your pets at home. From energetic walks to relaxing moments, I tailor each visit to your pet’s needs. I’m also trained in giving medications and reading subtle behavior cues, so you can travel or work worry-free knowing your best friend is in capable hands. I am very comfortable with cats, dogs, farm animals, and exotics including birds, horses, lemurs, and more. I’m a college student with a very flexible schedule. If you have a need outside of my availability, let me know and I can arrange if possible. In a client’s home, I am available to do whatever is needed for the pet(s). I am very comfortable working with animals and am confident in my skills.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since childhood, and every summer I eagerly took on pet-sitting opportunities for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience caring for pets of all ages…from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior dogs and cats who need extra patience and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing dependable, loving care so you can feel confident while you're away.🩷 I work full time during the week so I will be available for evening walks / drop-ins and open for weekend play. Peace of mind for you & tail wags for them! For dog walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, reliability, and communication. I carefully follow each pet owner's instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and home access. During walks, I use secure leashes and remain aware of my surroundings to ensure your dog's safety. During drop-ins, I provide attentive care, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: I am a compassionate and dependable animal lover who has spent the past eight years caring for my own pet with dedication and heart. My love for animals goes beyond responsibility—it’s a genuine passion rooted in patience, attentiveness, and kindness. I take pride in making sure every animal in my care will feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My special bond with my support dog, Bella, reflects the deep connection I build with animals, treating them as family. Anyone can feel confident knowing their pets are in caring and capable hands with me. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available to stop by for playtime, feeding, walks, or pet sitting—whatever you need. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! Safety, trust, and your pet’s comfort are always my top priorities. I’m happy to follow whatever routine makes you feel most at ease in the comfort of your home. Whether that’s spending quality time giving your pet lots of love and attention or safely crating them when needed. I make sure pets are fed, exercised with nice long walks, and given time to play and relax. No matter what you’re looking for, I will always care for your pet with patience, responsibility, and genuine love.

About: I bring many years of hands on dog experience, including training, behavior awareness, and daily care across a wide range of breeds and personalities. I provide confident, knowledgeable care that keeps dogs safe, comfortable and happy! Caring for pets is a regular part of my routine, not a side activity. I currently work from home so I have plenty of time to give to the fur babies! Whether in my home or a clients home, I treat pets like family. I stick to their routines, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure their environment is safe, calm and comfortable. I also keep owners up to date with messages, pictures and video so they can see that their pet is happy. <3

About: I’ve always had animals around at home, through fostering, and from volunteering at our local shelter, so pet care is just part of my life. I’ve handled everything from goofy, high‑energy pups to shy cats who need a slow, gentle approach. My fiancée worked at the same shelter for years, so I picked up a ton of hands‑on tips from her too. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets like my fiancée’s sister’s Frenchie and Lab, lots of cats with big personalities, and plenty of shelter dogs who just needed a confidence boost. I’m comfortable with shy pets, excited pets, nervous pets, and the ones who need a little extra patience. I’ve also given medication, done enrichment, and helped pets settle in when they’re unsure. Whether your pet wants couch cuddles, a walk, or even a silly dog birthday party (yes, we’ve actually done one), I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I treat every pet like family. I work from home, so it’s easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I keep a steady routine with time set aside for feeding, walks, playtime, and check‑ins. Even on busy days, I make sure every pet gets attention and consistency. When I’m house sitting, the only thing I need to work from home is a spot where I can plug into a hardwired internet connection. I bring my own portable desk, cords, and equipment, so I don’t need anything else from you. It never gets in the way of pet care. I’m still around all day for cuddles, walks, and company. I keep things calm and pet friendly with cozy spots, enrichment, and plenty of supervision. I’ve worked with all kinds of personalities like shy, energetic, nervous, or pets who need medication, and I always go at their pace. In your home, I follow your routine closely so your pet feels secure. In mine, I keep the environment relaxed and predictable so they can settle in easily. My goal is always the same. A stress‑free, loving experience where your pet feels safe.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life- it’s a true passion that shapes who I am. From growing up with my own dog and regularly helping neighbors with walks, feeding, and playtime, to currently sharing my home with my energetic Aussiedoodle, Bodhie, I’ve built hands-on experience that lets me adapt quickly to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m equally comfortable with cats, having lived with them for years and handled everything from daily feeding and interactive play to litter box care and administering medication when needed. For small animals, I grew up with hamsters and have been a dedicated guinea pig mom to three wonderful piggies in my adult life, so I know exactly how to provide the specialized care, fresh veggies, and gentle handling these little ones thrive on. I’m actively working with my own high-energy young dog on leash skills and calm behavior around distractions, so I’m comfortable supporting your pet’s training routines too. What truly sets me apart is my deep respect and individualized attention for every animal I care for- I treat them as if they were my own. Whether it’s tailoring the perfect walk for your dog, giving your cat those essential snuggles, maintaining a consistent routine for your senior pet, or ensuring your small animal gets enrichment and the right diet, I’m committed to keeping them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently on a leave of absence from my job, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I will be able to give your fur babies the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Your pet won’t just get the basics- they’ll get quality time, belly rubs, and lots of love! I make it a priority to maintain a safe, familiar, and stress-free environment. I know how important routines are, so I closely follow your instructions- from feeding and medication to walk schedules and favorite toys or games. I take time to build trust with your pet, always moving at their pace and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also respect your home just as much as I respect your pets- keeping things tidy, secure, and treating your space with care. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands and receiving plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re gone.

About: I have attended formal dog training classes. I have fostered 40 rescue dogs for the past 3 years. I currently have three of my own and two fosters at home. I believe fostering is not just about providing a home, but is also about building trust and respect, teaching the rescue dogs basic obedience and social skills. I hope I can help you with your pet care needs with my experience. I currently work at home full-time with a flexible schedule. I can provide dog walking service any time of the day including weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced - in backyard. Doggy day care dogs will have multiple play sessions with my pack outside. They will also get walks daily.

About: I’m a hockey player at day and a pet lover 21/7. I am a very disciplined worker person who is a meticulous planner. I love pets and I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is treated like a princess/ king. I am available during week days anytime after 3 some days earlier depending on my schedule. Open only some weekends. I am available for boarding but very rarely. I have trained my dog to be able to walk off leash during walks and will always make sure their little paws are clean by the end. Your pet will always have fun with me.

About: I grew up with two large breed dogs in the home at all times since i was born. I spent a couple years volunteering at PAWS Adoption Center in St. George, Utah and have experience with all kinds of pups: Big, small, old, young, fluffy, stinky. Bring it on! I currently own no pets and love animals. I'd love to give your pets some extra lovin while you're away! I work monday-friday during the day for 8 hours but have the ability to come home during lunch time for check ins, potty breaks, etc. I am free on weekends all day. My pets have always been family to me and your pets will be treated exactly the same. I am on this app because i love animals want as much of them in my life as possible. I'm extremely patient, attentive, and able to adapt your pets specific needs. I have experience as an in-house pet sitter as well and in my own home so this is familiar work for me.

Kaitlyn has cared for my dog and cat through both check-ins and overnight stays, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She is reliable, punctual, communicative, and always provides great updates and photos that give me peace of mind while I’m away.

Where do I begin ? Lola is truly a wonderful dog walker. She is always on time, incredibly dedicated, and genuinely cares about my dog’s well-being. She’s flexible, helpful, and consistently makes sure my dog is safe, loved, and in a clean, comfortable environment. Having Lola has been such a relief—especially during emergencies when I can’t get home in time. Knowing my dog is treated like family gives me total peace of mind. I honestly can’t say enough good things about Lola, and I would recommend her to anyone who loves their dog like a family member. Thank you LOLA YOU ARE AMAZING
