“We booked with Elva and Matt for house sitting while we were on vacation. Our previous planned sitter had cancelled last minute and we are honestly so happy they did so we could meet Matt and Elva! Blu absolutely loved them and they took great care of him, as well as the house. Their communication was amazing and we got daily photos and updates of our little guy! We will definitely be booking again☺️”


“Caroline was great!! She took excellent care of my dogs! This was my first time with the house sitting service and I’m so glad it was with Caroline! She was great to communicate and send pics and my pups had a great time with her!!”


“From the moment I met Kianna I felt completely comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. The dogs were well looked after, and it was clear that Kianna was an animal lover. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind as it was the first time I was leaving my dogs, (Zeke is 12 years old) and my home in someone else’s care. The dogs seem to be happy and relaxed when I returned, which is a huge benefit of in-home care. It was evident that the dogs and my home were treated with love, attention, and respect. With about 6 inches of snow and rain and a doggie door, I was expecting paw prints everywhere but this was not the case not a muddy paw mark to be seen. I would recommend Kianna to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and responsible dog sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my pups.”


“Dana did a wonderful job in my home with 3 dogs. She communicated details of her care and sent numerous photos and videos. I know how much my dogs loved her because they kept looking for her in the house and garage. She also kept the house clean, the bed linens washed and the dog poop picked up. Great job! I will have you come again. Moose, Rocky and Bear miss you. Terri”


“Our dogs had 100% of Aubree’s attention and lots of play time and walks! She even bought them toys! The house was as we left it. Aubree was knowledgeable about animals & so nice! Will definitely continue using Aubree’s care! Thanks!”


“Brooke was amazing both times she house sat with our dog. Both trips were pretty short notice and she accommodated us perfectly! We received plenty of pictures and updates throughout both our trips. She was also great about giving him a few different meds (oral and nasal) and keeping him on routine. Our house was just as clean as we left it and she even put away an order of dog food that arrived earlier than expected. We travel a lot and Brooke will be our go-to sitter for our future trips!”


About: What sets me apart as a house and pet sitter is my hands-on experience with a wide range of pets, from playful puppies to senior animals needing extra care. I’m confident with administering medications, following special diets, and keeping up with training routines. I treat every home and pet as if they were my own—clean, safe, and full of love. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just companionship, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs to make sure they’re happy and stress-free while you’re away. I am currently working a part-time job so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I am more free on weekends and afternoons but also extremely flexible! I have a pet-friendly apartment, no yard, but very close to parks and easy access to outdoors! I am completely comfortable and willing to go to your home to watch your pets if it is preferred.

“Jane has dog sat for us at our home twice now. She is punctual, easy to coordinate things with and made sure our dog Rooney got all the care and attention she needed while we were away. She also sent us regular pictures which we really appreciated. Thank you Jane 🙏”


“Bethany was amazing! Our animals are happy and were thoroughly spoiled while we were out of town. She watched them in our home and we feel like she went way above and beyond in terms of keeping our animals and home safe she also cleaned and organized more than necessary as well!”


About: My husband Chris has grown up with various animals such as dogs, cats, chickens, you name it! He is extremely loving and caring towards all of God’s precious creatures and knows the ins and outs of the care they need and deserve! I, myself, have often cared for and loved various pets for my friends, neighbors, and even coworkers alike for 10+ years. I have house sat and pet sat for dogs, cats, chickens, lizards, snakes, and birds etc… The list goes on! Our landlord doesn’t allow pets in our current home so we would love to live vicariously through you and have the chance to experience the pet life in any way we can in the meantime :,) Both Chris and I have full time jobs throughout the week. Chris works from 7-3 M-F and I work from 9-5 M-F with 1 half Saturday per month. Weekends usually work best for us but are willing to drop in after work and perform any needs necessary to make sure you and your pets are taken care of! We are very accommodating and flexible with individual needs and circumstances. We know each situation and each fur baby is unique and requires unique treatment and attention. We are strong rule followers and will always follow your instructions exactly how you want them, no questions asked!

“I got the sense that Abigail worked hard to get our kitties fed on their rather demanding schedule - she was very good about communicating about any deviations from their usual schedule. I would have loved more pictures to have a better feel of how their stay went together.”


About: My earliest memories are of playing with dogs. As an adult I love my kitties and will care for any furry, scaley or feathered friends. Every day I care for my dog and 4 cats. The trip to the nearby park is a routine where I find refuge. I have flexibility with my work schedule and can make most times fit. I have a fenced yard where pets can roam free without fear of antagonism or being set loose in the neighborhood. I give each memeber of the clan daily attention and individual care.

About: I have had a dog for as long as I can remember! I've cared for family and friends pets over the years which has included walking, feeding and playing with their pets. I work out in the morning for about 2 hours each day, and have class Tuesday evening from about 7 to 9:45. I also work most evenings for about an hour! I have plenty of time to hang out with your pet! I am very respectful when caring for someone's pets. I follow all directions given and will ask for clarification when needed to ensure that your pet is getting the best care possible!

About: I grew up with animals. From cats and dogs to chickens and horses. I currently work at an animal hospital, where I am licensed as veterinary technician. I give medication, vaccines, groom, and assist in surgery. I have worked on dairy’s, stables and as a sitter. My very favorite is sitting. I love getting to know your little fur babies personalities. I currently at an animal hospital in North Ogden. I have a flexible schedule. I would love to make pet sitting my full time job. I work Monday through Thursday. I could do drop in visits early in the morning, during my lunch, and of course after work. Friday through Sunday I am available most all day. I’m willing to work with you and your pet! I am respectful to you, your home and most importantly your animal. I am more than happy to do whatever that means to you to make your pet the happiest it can be while they are in my care.

About: Whether it be walks to parks, dropping in or even staying with your fur babies… I’m your person. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have questions! I work 6:30am to 2:30pm Monday through Friday here in North SLC, I can easily come in the mornings during lunch breaks in north Salt lake and anytime after work or on the weekends in the Ogden area. I am available for house stays. I can travel from North Salt Lake all the way up to Willard and everything in between. Don’t hesitate to ask! I have pretty large house, with a large sized yard and can accommodate but I’d rather come and visit your fur baby in the comfort of their own home. I find that it helps keep your fur baby stress free being in their own environment that they are use to and feel safe in.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life. I have always had cats and dogs since I can remember. When i was 16 I started volunteering at the animal hospital and have done it ever since. I have owned and fostered special needs, elderly and brand new. I can administer meds, help on potty breaks, feed, bathe and play! I work as a realtor and part time dietitian, mostly remotely! I’m very flexible and mostly home! I only leave to show homes or take my kids to school/ activities. I have a fenced yard. A friendly deaf Maltese poodle, a sweet Siberian cat who loves all walks of life. And 2 daughters who LOVE helping and playing with animals. My husband loves them too!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. They’ve grown with me and I’ve grown with them. I’ve trained many dogs and pups of all kind! Usually I feed my two pups and walk them daily. I make sure they’re groomed once a day (brushing, etc) and play with them or cuddle them constantly! I have a fenced yard and two dogs. They love people and playing. When I head upstairs into my living room in the morning it’s filled with tummy rubs and kisses as well as treats!

Jared S.
“Jared is amazing with animals—my cats adore him. He has cared for my cats with incredible patience, kindness, and attention to detail. One of my cats, Ash, is a little picky, but he’s totally obsessed with him—probably because Jared brings him fresh chicken every time he visits! I always get the best photo updates when I’m away—he somehow manages to capture all their goofy, sweet moments. He also has the sweetest pup, Murphy, who he regularly takes on scenic river jaunts that would make any dog (or human!) envious. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pets like they’re his own, you've found him.”
