“I know my pets are in great hands with Samantha. She provided excellent care for them and went lots of pictures. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”


“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”


“Megan was wonderful to our pup, Ralph. She spoiled him with long walks and sent us photo updates to check in. She stayed at our house and left it nice and clean when we got home. We will definitely ask her to watch our buddy again and feel lucky to have found her!”

About: I have lived with animals my entire life. Growing up I had a wide variety of animals. I have had experience caring for large and small dogs alike, senior dogs and cats. I have experience administering medication to many of these animals as well. I recently moved from the Midwest where I was a volunteer search and rescue member- closely working with the search dog teams and assisting as a handler as needed. I have experience working with these dogs in and out of the field. I have also trained in K-9 first aid. I work evenings M-F. My mornings and early afternoon are relatively free during the week. And I absolutely love going to visit some fur babies in the evening on my lunch break, or late at night visits after my shift. Currently, I'm fully available on the weekends for pet care as well. I can administer medications as needed. Your pet's safety and health are my number 1 priority. I can clean up after your pet as needed. Playtime, potty breaks, and snacks as well! And I will give them all the attention.

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have grown up caring for them, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m currently a part time nail tech and want to fill my time doing something I love. And if I can fill my spare time by spending it with animals I think my life would be complete. In a client’s home, I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, and play to keep pets happy and stress-free. Either way, I give each pet my full attention and care as if they were my own.

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.

“Nichole was great with our pets and stays in great communication. She helped identify a water leak while pet sitting too and really helped us out. Thanks Nichole!”


About: Hi! I’m a former special education teacher now PhD student studying psychology with a lifelong love for animals. I just recently moved to Logan and would love to meet your pet! I’ve cared for a wide range of pets from cats and dogs of all sizes to turtles and even a tarantula! I take pride in building trust with every animal I meet and have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior dogs alike. Your pets will be treated like family, and I’m happy to accommodate any special requests to make sure they feel safe and loved. I start my PhD program at the end of August so my schedule may change but right now I just moved to Logan and my schedule is wide open! I’ll make sure your home stays safe and secure, all accidents or messes are cleaned up, and your pet has everything they need to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m also happy to send pictures and videos for your peace of mind while you’re away!

“Was willing to do a quick meet prior since our dog River has anxiety. She loved and took care of our fur babies while also taking care of the home. Thor especially loved the ride in the car. She asked for clarification when needed, sent updates, and followed instructions”


“We needed house-sitter pretty last minute for our two dogs. It's always a bit nerve wracking having someone stay at your house for the first time, but Sabrina was great! The dogs seemed very comfortable with her, and she did a great job taking care of them and the house. We got photo updates and she made sure the dogs got plenty of play time.”


About: Hi, I'm Cassie! I'm so excited to begin this journey with you and your furry family member. As a lifelong dog lover, I truly believe every dog deserves love, respect, and quality care—and I treat each dog as if they were my own. With many years of experience, I offer dependable services including: Dog walking Feeding and administering medication Bathing and basic grooming Dog sitting (short-term or extended) Clean-up care Support with training and behavior I’ve worked with dogs of all energy levels and temperaments. Whether your pup needs a calm cuddle session or a high-energy playtime, I tailor activities to meet their unique needs. I also value ongoing learning—if you're facing a behavioral concern, I'm happy to research and work alongside you to find solutions. Training and structure are important to me, and I understand how vital it is to balance discipline with compassion. I'm here to help your dog feel safe, engaged, and well-cared for. I’d love to connect and learn more about your dog. Let’s chat soon! I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, but my flexible schedule—combining remote and on-site work—allows me to provide dependable care for your dog throughout the week. Your pet’s needs are important to me, and I’m committed to making sure they’re never left without care for too long. The longest your dog would ever be alone is approximately 6 hours at a time, and I always make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and settled before I step out. I’m located on a half-acre lot that offers plenty of room for your dog to run, sniff, and explore. While the yard is not fenced, your dog will never be left unattended. I’m always outside with them or have them securely attached to a long lead, giving them the freedom to roam safely. I make sure your pup has plenty of shade, fresh water, and anything else they need to stay comfortable and happy while outdoors. Whether they’re high-energy or just want to sunbathe, they’ll have a safe and enjoyable space to do it. When it’s time to rest, I offer both a large and a medium crate, depending on your dog’s needs. I'm happy to crate your pet if that’s part of their routine, or they’re welcome to sleep openly in our home with us—whatever helps them feel most at ease. I share my home with one medium-sized, well-behaved dog who loves meeting new canine friends. He’s friendly, gentle, and enjoys having buddies to play or relax with. I also have an outdoor cat who mostly keeps to herself and doesn’t typically interact with visiting pets. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first, and I’ll make sure any introductions are slow, supervised, and stress-free. If I’m providing drop in visits for your pet in your home, you can count on me to provide daily walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine closely and provide any additional care or accommodations you or your pet may need. My goal is to make their time away from you feel as normal and stress-free as possible.

About: I've had dogs most of my life. I have experience with senior dogs & I volunteer at my local Humane Society. They hold such a special place in our hearts, it's the least I can do to make sure they are happy & safe. I am available most days during the week & weekends. I can do early mornings, late nights, & everything in-between. I am used to juggling life & pets. I love to play with them, let them out to go to the bathroom & crate them back up (if needed). Make sure they have food, water, & is comfortable.

About: Our family first started with 2 puppies and have increased and decreased over the years. We love animals and dogs especially. I have self groomed my schnauzer for 8 years and have the tools to do bath care and simple grooming. We are currently at 4 kids and 2 dogs and 3 snakes. Kids ages 7-15. We live a block away from a canyon trail so extra walks and exercise is quick and easy! I am an intuitive massage therapist and have worked on several animals in and around injury, anxiety and emotional distress. I work part time but I have kids at home as well as a nanny (Hannah) around. I am not away from the home for more than 4 hours if that. I have a fenced in kitchen that keeps pets in the main part of the home but also has easy access to a fenced in back yard through a doggie door. The pets become part of the family whether it’s taking them to bed or on walks or to play outdoors. We will do our best to follow the similar rules as your house such as where they sleep, allowed on furniture, etc.
