Pet Sitting Rigby

About: Pet Care Experience: More Than Just a Sitter I've been a passionate dog enthusiast and reliable caregiver for over 15 years, I’ve been around dogs my whole life. My experience isn't just about feeding and walking; it's about providing genuine companionship and a fun, safe environment. I regularly handle all aspects of routine care, including medication administration, maintaining strict feeding schedules, and enforcing positive reinforcement training that owners already have in place. Whether it's a calm cuddle session or a high-energy adventure, I tailor my approach to meet your dog's unique needs and personality. What Sets Me Apart: A Focus on Connection and Safety While many sitters offer basic care, I believe your pet deserves a partner who is attentive, active, and highly informed. What makes me different is my combination of energetic engagement and deep understanding of canine behavior: My patience and understanding of dog body language mean I can spot subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or over-excitement before they become an issue. This ensures a low-stress, enjoyable experience for your pet and allows me to introduce toys and activities that they genuinely love. Safety is My #1 Priority: Beyond basic supervision, I focus on proactive safety. This includes double-checking gates, being aware of environmental hazards, and using proper leash handling techniques, especially around traffic or unfamiliar dogs. I am constantly vigilant so you never have to worry. The Ultimate Playmate: I bring genuine, playful energy to every session. I'm not afraid to get on the floor for a game of tug-of-war or dedicate time to an extensive walk and play session to ensure your dog is physically and mentally satisfied by the end of the day. A tired dog is a happy and well-behaved dog! Pet care isn't just a side job; it's a valued part of my established routine, which means consistent and dedicated care for your dog. As a college student, I am available on different hours each day during the week. My family works with me to allow dogs potty breaks, play time and love while I am in class. Weekly Availability I am generally available for drop-ins, and house-sitting during the following times: Monday: Available before 8:30 am and after 12:30pm. Tuesday: available before 9:30am and after 3:30pm. Wednesday: available before 8:30am and after 3:30pm. Thursday: available before 9:30am and after 6:30pm. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays: I offer flexible, full-day availability for house-sitting and extended services. What to expect: Walks and playtime that breaks up your dog's afternoon after you've left for work. Dedicated, unhurried attention. Between me and my family your dog gets full focus and energy. Please reach out with your specific needs! I'm happy to discuss how my schedule and reliable availability can best support your pet's routine. When your dog stays with us, they become a member of the family. My home is set up to be a safe, clean, and low-stress environment where your pet can relax and thrive. Security and Supervision During the Day I want to be upfront about my schedule so you can be confident in the care I provide: Supervision: Guests are not 100% supervised throughout the day. My kids and I are at school for some time during the week (Monday through Thursday), I am away for a several hours at a time during the school day. My teenagers get home before I do and are responsible enought to play and give out potty breaks for your dogs. Security During Alone Time: Before I leave, all dogs are securely placed in a safe, dog-proofed area or kennel (based on your dog's preference) with fresh water and comfortable bedding. Doggie Door Access: For reliable house-trained dogs, we have a doggie door available that provides continuous, secure access to our fenced yard for potty breaks while I am away. This is a great feature for independent dogs who enjoy frequent outdoor access. My Resident Dog: A Friendly Host I share my home with Kilo, a friendly Irish Wolfhound Poodle Mix (a Wolfadoodle!) who genuinely loves having canine company! We actively encourage supervised, positive play sessions in our secure yard. However, your dog's comfort is my priority: Managed Socialization: Introductions are slow and monitored. If needed, I have the ability to easily separate my dog from guests using designated gates and areas, ensuring both dogs have their own peaceful space for meals, rest, or if a break is needed. The Home Environment Secure Fenced Yard: I have a wooden and welded wire fenced yard for safe, contained playtime and bathroom breaks. All gates are double-checked before outdoor sessions. Structure and Comfort: I maintain a consistent daily schedule (feeding times, walk schedules, and potty breaks) closely aligned with your dog's routine to minimize anxiety. I provide comfortable, dedicated sleeping areas for rest. Daily Updates: Trust is built on communication. You will receive regular photo or video updates daily so you can see your happy dog enjoying their stay, if desired. My goal is to make your dog feel safe and loved, ensuring you have complete peace of mind while you are away.

“Very reasonable prices and very responsible. She listened to and followed all of my directions carefully. She even rescued my cat, who had gotten himself locked in our office as we were leaving. I had zero issues and would have no problem hiring her again.”

About: I have had pets all my life and love every minute spent with animals. I have helped on farms and helped with small pets as well. I am currently employed and a college student but need small jobs on my days off. And pet sitting and care is something I'm very passionate about. I will gain your pets love and trust first that too me is the most important part of caring for pets. I can walk them, play with them and much more. I follow all rules and guidelines provided by the owners.

“Jeffrey was great!! He was very accommodating and attentive. He came over to meet our cats before we left to ensure that there would not be an extra stress, and to ensure that they would get along. He listened to me engage with our standoffish cat to know how to talk with her. I appreciated everything he did for us while we were out of town!!”

“Megan kept open communication about every aspect of our puppies. The meet and greet went so well, we knew we’d feel comfortable leaving our babies with her! I can’t wait to book with her again.”

Tara P.

“She was super good with our shy dogs! She always made sure to update us and send pictures which we appreciated. Would definitely trust and use her again.”

Abby A.

“Summer communicated well of when she would be there, what the dogs did, and how they were. I was nervous as my dogs are never left alone and she did great with keeping me informed during her check ins.”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life! dogs, chickens, cats and bunnies! My neighbors and extended family have asked me to take care of their animals a bunch i love it and i think it’s so fun! I love going on walks with them or sitting, brushing them, teaching them tricks, playing with them ect. I’m currently working part time and will have a lot of time in my day to play with your animals!! All my big summer trips have already happened so i will be around a ton this summer! My cute dog recently passed away so i don’t have anyone your dog can play with but i have such more love and appreciation for animals after loosing mine🩷 There is no doubt that your dog won’t have just as much fun! They are good to be on a leach in my backyard or a crate if needed!

“Kaitlynn was amazing! I had a last minute medical appointment down in SLC, and needed a dog sitter. Kaitlynn was super flexible with times. My dogs absolutely adored her. Ginny is more independent than most dogs, and she got Ginny cuddles!! I will definitely book her the next time I need a dog sitter!”

“Kendall did a great job! Took my babies out for potty’s and walks while I went out of town for the night. Will def be using her again! Thanks Kendall!”

About: I've grown up around two cats (short hair male and long hair female), birds (parakeets), and leopard geckos (one male one female). I have dogsat a variety of sizes (including a female husky) and did some dog walking a few years ago (a pit bull female) I currently work less than full time and go to college less than full time so I have a fairly open and flexible schedule, to make it slightly easier with planning I work I would be available everyday besides Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am flexible in availability and can follow any special instructions you may have about your pets specific needs, even weird quirky routines they may have! I am very adaptable and more than willing to stay with you pets or animals at your home or just drop in and check on them when needed!

About: Hi! We’re a fun, active family of five living in Rigby, and we’d love to welcome your dog into our home! We have three kids (ages 5 and up) who absolutely adore dogs, and we have a sweet, high-energy Goldendoodle named Rusty who loves to make new furry friends. We offer a safe, loving environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. Our home has a fully fenced backyard for plenty of playtime and fresh air, and pups are welcome indoors—including on the couches for snuggles! Whether your dog loves to run, relax, or just be around people, they’ll fit right in here. We know how important it is to feel confident in your pet’s care, and we’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you're away. We can’t wait to meet your pup and give them a home away from home! My husband is a teacher and has Summers off. I work at the site and work from home on Thursdays, which is why our availability is the way that it is. Someone will always be at home and never away from the house for more than a couple of hours at a time. We treat the pets like our family and give them affection as well as plenty of outdoor in our backyard. We give treats and belly rubs.

“Jessica was very communicative and paid attention to the details. We came home to two happy and content kitties. Would definitely use her again!”

About: My wife has had dogs her whole life and we have taken care of puppies and oldies alike. We love dogs! Four more words needed! We are in school but luckily I have a low credit load so I am readily available for these little guys. (Or big. No discrimination) Dog park nearby, we love taking frequent walks for good stimulation and activity! Lots of space in our apartment! Safety is our number 1 priority!

“Alyssa is awesome. She’s the best rover sitter I’ve ever had! Thanks so much for loving on him and always communicating and being punctual. -Rangos dad”
