Dog Sitting River Heights

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve cared for dogs and cats, for years growing up and am also a Certified Veterinary Assistant. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Whether that’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or medication if needed, I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own! My schedule is very flexible this summer, so I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and care needs. Whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight care, I’m happy to help. I know how important consistency can be for pets, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. As a Certified Veterinary Assistant, I’m comfortable giving medications, recognizing when something seems off, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I love taking the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and all the little things that make them unique. My goal is to make sure your pets are happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands!

About: I am a caring, dependable, and attentive caregiver who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I create a calm and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every animal like part of my family. I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I’m home most of the time, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. Caring for animals fits in naturally with my day—I enjoy including them in walks, playtime, and a calm home environment where they feel safe and loved. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and affection. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of attention throughout the day. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your specific instructions for feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and routines. I also make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment while keeping you updated with messages and photos. I provide this same safe, loving care for cats, making sure their litter boxes are clean and their routines are respected.

About: I started volunteering at my local animal shelter as a teenager where I helped get a dog named Boo adopted. I have found such value and fulfillment in providing the best possible care to pets and animals in need within my community. Some of the animal care fields I have worked in are: Dog and cat boarding / daycare Doggy daycare hikes Positive reinforcement-based dog training and puppy training/socialization Veterinary assisting In-home pet sitting including dogs/cats with medical need, and reptile/bird care. I believe that our pets bring such happiness and quality to our lives and that they deserve just as much happiness. I take pride in providing care to others' pets like they're my own. We are their whole life, so we might as well do everything we can to ensure they are well taken care of. -Shayla, animal welfare advocate and wildlife ecology student With love from Malibu the Catahoula Leopard Dog I am a student at USU, so I have time outside of classes and taking my boy Malibu out on adventures to care for your fur babies on weekday mornings, lunch, and afternoon breaks. I provide attention to your pet based off their individual needs and temperament and have years of experience monitoring body language. I have been certified in pet CPR and use a harness when needed to ensure safety on walks. I also provide picture updates.

“Sadie was absolutely wonderful taking care of our pups! She was eager to do a meet and greet to ensure they were familiar with her and the day she watched them, she was great about keeping us updated and also sending lots of pictures. Highly recommend and plan to continue having her help us out! 🙂”

About: Nothing special, just dependable and I enjoy pets. If a cat/dog/bunny ran out in the road, I’m doing whatever I can to not hit them. Very flexible, job is super laid back and I can check on pets multiple times a day. Already graduated from college so got plenty of free time. Cats are perfect in my home, smaller dogs as well. Can manage with bigger dogs as well. Have a truck for transporting bigger kennels too.

About: I have experience with dogs from puppy to old ages. Can simply take them out for a bathroom break, a hike for my uber-active pups, or anywhere in between! Dog sat during college and grew up with a black lab and pug. I have recently became fond of cats, as my husband grew up with them. I am a highly detail-oriented person, and that trait will certainly carry over with your pup. Day-to-day: I work full- time, but remotely. I can sneak out in between meetings, at lunchtime, after work/evening, or in the morning (im up early😊). Super flexible- so we can make something work I will not bring dogs into my home. Safety is important to me - I require any potential tendencies/triggers or trauma to be disclosed. I have no children

“Debbie is the greatest! Our new dog who is scared of everything warmed right up to her! She sent us lots of pictures and made sure our girls were well taken care of.”

“Jesi has great communication and is always willing to help me out. We love have her sit or even just do drop ins when needed. Highly recommend her!”

“Our experience with Eva was outstanding. She cared for our Yorkie, Copper, over four days, providing excellent care and attention to detail. Eva's communication was superb, with regular photo updates and texts that kept us fully informed throughout. She followed Copper's feeding and outdoor routines meticulously, which helped build trust between them. Within a couple of days, Copper felt at ease enough to sit with Eva on the couch, showcasing the bond they formed. Given Copper's unique personality, which demands trust on his terms, Eva's ability to win him over speaks volumes about her capabilities. We strongly recommend Eva for her services and anticipate booking her again when we go on vacation! Thank you, Eva!”

About: I’ve taken care of friends dogs for years , even transporting them to different states when needed. I live alone and am home by myself most of the time. I have a small fenced yard and wood floors and tile in most of my house. I would be happy and would prefer to meet your dog before I watch him or her. I door dash on my electric bike. It can go about 3 hours before needing a charge. I usually dash 2-3 hours in morning and 2-3 hours in the evening. If it rains I stay home I have a fenced yard , with a dog door from the inside to the yard. I keep water out all the time, but only feed according to the owners instructions

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life, including one massive great dane along with a fair share of puppies and a few exotic animals. I am fully capable of tending to a senior dog as i’ve personally owned and cared for multiple senior dogs with high medical needs. I completed the utah certification for veterinary assisting and have basic pet first aid knowledge as well as an ability to administer medication to pets. I have a passion for animals and love to see them well cared for. I’m currently a student at utah state university so doing drop in visits or staying overnight works best with my schedule. I tend to have 1-2 hour classes with availability outside of that. I have one to two classes Monday Wednesday Friday giving me the afternoon and evenings free. I am totally available on both Saturday and Sunday. I will ensure to clean up any mess that may happen, water plants and make sure your animal is comfortable and safe in your home. I am open to doing simple chores if needed around the house as well. I will follow any instructions you have for your pets daily schedule.

About: I have had my dog for 5 years and really enjoyed raising and training her. Outside my home, I have helped friends and family with house-sitting, dog walking, and check-ins/potty breaks. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is quite open! I am available for services any time on weekends and on weekdays after 2 pm. I have a fenced back yard, and a gate at the front of my house, so your pet will be entirely secure! There is a patio and grass in the back, leaving space for zoomies. Inside is an open floor plan with space to play while being supervised and safe!

About: My family had a dog from the time I was a baby; my parents made sure I not only helped by playing with him, but walking, feeding, and grooming him, too. Later we had a cat and another dog. The cat was mine, so litterbox duty was always on me. So I have years of experience living with and taking care of cats and dogs, and I would LOVE the opportunity to show your fur baby some good old fashioned TLC! I do gig work for a living, so my schedule is super flexible, especially if you give me prior notice! I do not work on Sundays and Thursdays, unless it's an extended-stay situation. I can come to your home, where your fur baby is the most comfortable, and make sure they have the company, attention, and care they need when you're gone.

About: I have been walking dogs since I was ten and house/dog sitting for three years. I have always loved dogs and the energy they bring to a room. I aim to ensure each dog I come into contact with feels the same love and joy they give me! I am a full-time student at USU. I have classes Monday through Friday, all ending at 3:20 p.m. I am available at all times after that, on weekdays and anytime on weekends! To provide a safe and trusting environment, I keep an eye on all pets and do counts if there are multiple pets as often as possible. Safety is my priority, and building a trusting relationship is also essential!

“All our cats were happy and well. They were fed and watered at the correct time. She even brought in our mail. We will definitely hire her again.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets my entire life and currently have two cats and a dog of my own. Caring for animals every day has taught me how important consistency, patience, and attention to detail are. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I’ll make sure your pet receives the same love and care I give my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work full-time during the weekdays, but I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits before and after work, as well as flexible availability on weekends. I’ll always communicate clearly about my schedule and make sure your pet receives dependable, on-time care. Whether your cat needs a quick check-in, medication, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to giving them the care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow all of your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, litter box maintenance, and any special routines. I have experience administering oral, topical, and injectable medications to cats and understand the importance of patience and gentle handling. I’ll provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were one of my own.
