Pet Sitting in Rigby

“We were a little concerned about leaving our dog because of her age and medical issues. Kortni was great with her! She sent us updates on every visit and made us do at ease. We will definitely be using Kortni again.”

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.

“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.”

“Lisa took such great care of our two kitties, she treated them like her own! She was very responsive and communicative, and addressed every issue she encountered with no complain. We would definitely book her again!”

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. Because I work part-time during the school year, my schedule allows me to offer highly reliable availability when most owners need it: Weekly Availability I am generally available for walks, drop-ins, and house-sitting during the following times: Monday through Thursday: Available starting at 2:00 PM daily. This is a perfect window for late afternoon potty breaks, substantial long walks, and dinner routines. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays: I offer flexible, full-day availability for house-sitting and extended services. How This Fits In The fact that I work just 2 miles from my school is a huge advantage for my clients. My commute home is minimal, ensuring I am immediately available right at 2:00 PM to begin services. This efficient schedule means I can provide: The crucial late-day walk and playtime that breaks up your dog's afternoon after you've left for work. Dedicated, unhurried attention. Since I'm not rushing to squeeze in appointments between a full-time job, your dog gets my full focus and energy. Please reach out with your specific needs! I'm happy to discuss how my flexible schedule and reliable availability can best support your pet's routine. When your dog stays with me, 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. When I am working part-time during the week (Monday through Thursday), I am away for a few hours at a time during the school day. 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.

“Tori is so sweet and took great care of our dogs! The photos and updates put us at such ease. Our littlest one is shy and Tori helped her feel more confident to come around and engage. Our bigger dog loves Tori and took to her right away! Thank you, Tori, for excellent care and I’d recommend you to anyone!”

About: I have had dogs for most of my life. My grandparents owned a dog when I was little and now I own 2 of my own which complete opposite personalities. One is sweet and calm while the other is extremely hyper and energetic and I handle them both. I am currently a college student however I am able to be with dogs in the afternoon and evening after 2 PM. I am very flexible within that range outside of needing some time to do homework. At home I have 2 dogs, a black lab husky mix, and a pure black lab. Both live in the backyard and get fed at regular times (the lab makes sure we don't forget). I also assist in bathing them much to their dismay. They don't get aggressive but do occasionally try and escape. I also ensure they are brushed during shedding season although the fur sometimes seems to never end.

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of pets since I was age 7. Family and friends have relied on me to take care of their pets. I’m available 7 days a week. I can watch them at your house or mine depending on your schedule. They will have lots of play time during the day. I have a huge fenced yard, so there will be lots of room for running around and playing.I never leave them unattended in the yard. Plus I have two dogs that are pet friendly that would love the company. If you want help with extra training, please let me know.

About: I've worked in veterinary care for two years all the way from basic boarding and grooming to assisting veterinarians, handling basic medical procedures, and recovery. I'm currently a full time student. So once class is out I am free for the rest of the day and I can convince myself that homework is easy enough to shuffle around. I have two years of experience working with dogs in an animal hospital. Completely comfortable working with all shapes and sizes. I'll take care of your dog like they were my own

“Love Tearra, She does a great job with our fur babies. Very responsible and friendly. Easy to communicate with. Would recommend her at a heartbeat”

“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!”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a kid, we've had everything from dogs and cats to guinea pigs and iguanas! And within all of that ive worked with elderly animals (mostly cats and dogs), including helping clean them and helping them use the restroom, and I've worked with all the baby animals too! I've helped with leash training, litter box training, learning how to play with toys and even crate training! I absolutely love animals and have always had a special bond with them. As a dad to 5 kiddos, 1 dog and 1 cat I know just how important the fury kids are! Looking forward to helping out with your pets and treating them like part of the family! I have 5 kiddos so we are always running around somewhere, but I would love my kids and your pets to be my full time job! Right now I work part time in a preschool but I would like a schedule that is a little bit more flexible so I have more time to spend with my family! All that to say my schedule is incredibly flexible at the moment so I'm ready to jump in! I have a fenced yard and 1 dog who is beyond friendly. She does amazing with other dogs and cats, she has never been aggressive towards animals or people and she loves to play! We keep a puppy gate at the end of the hallway so the pets stay in the main part of the house and so the kiddos can keep their bedrooms as their own space. We free feed and water Molly (our dog) but also have experience feeding on a schedule! Molly has some problems with her ears getting sore so we are very careful to clean her ears daily, I also have experience giving animals medications so I feel comfortable helping with things like that as well. Molly does sleep in an extra large crate at bed time (with her super fluffy puppy bed inside) but if I were to animal sit in our home I'm happy to care for them however you prefer! Mom and dad know their pets best!

About: I’ve grown up with a dog all my life! I’ve assisted in his care for a good portion of that time as well. Since I was a kid I’ve been fortune enough to take care of many family members’, friends’, and neighbors’ pets! I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, and more! I love all animals and would love to connect and take care of yours! I do have a full time job, but I would love to take care of your pets in my spare time! I’m available all day on weekends! During the week I’m available from 5pm till 10pm! I like the most important thing is to take care of those pets that you love! I would love to assist in that and provide them with comfort, love, and care! I would love to take out pets, walk them, feed them, groom them, play with them, and just given them someone to connect with while your not available to!

About: I live in Rigby with my husband and our 2 dogs and 3 cats. Our coonhound is old and loves to sleep. Although he can be protective of his food. Our yellow lab puppy is crate trained and potty trained but still crazy. Bother are very sweet though. Our cats keep to themselves and run away if bothered. No need to worry about them. I would love to welcome your furry friend into our home when you need a little break. Or I can walk them while you’re at work! Let me know what you’re needs are and I will do my best to meet them. I am an RN but right now not employed anywhere. I have a lot of availability. If my schedule changes I will let you know. But right now I am available mostly everyday Sun-Sat I have a semi fenced yard and the road has minimal traffic. We have 3 large water bowls in our backyard as well as two inside to keep our friends hydrated. We have tent that pets can go under for shade due to us having minimal tree coverage. I have a 20ft tether for pets who cannot respond to recall.
