“Krista was great with our dogs. She was patiently persistent with our shy dog which she was eventually able to leash up and take on a walk during the drop-in visits. We loved the visit reports and pictures too.”


About: I have always had pets in my life. I had made sure they were properly fed in the right amount at the right times and always had a fresh bowl of water. They never go without love as well as making sure they have their space to go and do their thing. Pets will always be taken care of with me and made sure they go home happy and healthy. :) I am currently unemployed. This gives me the chance to give your furr babies even more of my full attention, care, and cuddles to your animals. If taken care of at my house, I treat them the same as if they were at your house. I make sure they are comfortable.

“This is our second time having Becca care for our dogs. As expected, the boys loved her and were well taken care of. Thank you Becca, for the peace of mind while we are away. Highly recommend!”


“Nicole is fantastic. She made sure our fur balls are well taken care of. We've received cute pictures and videos every day so we could see how happy the doggies are with their sitter ? definitely going to be a repeat customer”


About: I’ve watched dogs for my neighbors since I was little. I have multiple cats I help with at my house and on occasion I take care of my grandpas dog. I currently work an evening job part time. However I am trying to get another part time job for the morning. I will be available in the morning, midafternoon and night. I have a specific area in the house meant for dogs along with a very big fenced backyard. I love going for runs and walks so I would go on walks often.

About: Growing up, I’ve had several dogs of my own. As well as goats, cats, pigs, chickens, and bearded dragons. I have 4 kids that love to play. We have a big yard and a dog park around the corner we can play at too. I typically work part time during the week and every other weekend. I have my 4 kids who will usually always be here. We have a medium golden doodle that loves friends who is occasionally here if he is not at his dad’s house. Our yard is fenced with a lots of room to run and play. My kids have been around and lived with a lot of animals, so they’re respectful of them and adore having extra/new friends to play with.

About: I have over 20 years experience with dogs, cats, and birds and currently own a 5 year old Yorkie. I have raised 2 dogs from a puppy and have learned patience and love for all breeds! I am a stay at home mom with lots of time to love on your pet! I make my own schedule which leaves time for frequent potty breaks, walks, and fetch. In our fully fenced yard, your pup will have room to roam and run. I am a mom of 3 responsible and loving kids and our Yorkie, Ridley. I only take up to 2 dogs from the same family at a time to avoid commonly spread dog illnesses, and to ensure your pets are our focus. Pets are welcome in the home and on the furniture because they are part of the family.

“Makayla was wonderful at taking care of my 2 cats while we were gone. I was so nervous to leave them for so long ( first time I was ever away from them for more than a day), and she made me feel at ease. I appreciated the photos and updates. She was so quick to respond to every message and was just overall great to work with! We will be using her again in the future.”


“Megan takes simply wonderful care of our cat and I feel no worries knowing she's there. We had actually just moved into our home after a cross-country move, then had to leave our cat at the new house while we wrapped up at the old house for a week. Megan stepped up and helped our cat make the transition into his new home while we were gone. We were worried he might dash or be extremely stressed, but thanks to Megan's attention giving him lots of love and playtime, he adjusted extremely well, even in our absence. We're extremely grateful to Megan.”


“Shayley did a great job caring for our dog. She stopped by to meet her first and I could tell immediately that she genuinely loves dogs. She fed and walked out dog for a long weekend. She sent some pictures that put our minds at ease. I was hoping our dog would feel more comfortable in her usual surroundings rather than boarding her like we've done before. This was our first experience with Rover and Shayley made it go so smoothly!”


“Cannot recommend Calvary enough as a pet sitter! Our cat really seemed to like her and felt super comfortable around her. She did an amazing job caring for and loving on our little guy while we were gone.”


About: Having grown up with pets and continued to care for them into adulthood, I understand the unique personalities and needs of each animal. In addition to being a devoted pet owner, I’ve also provided reliable and loving care for a wide variety of cats and dogs through pet sitting, walking, and daily care. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, medication, or just a comforting presence, I take pride in giving every pet the same love and attention I give my own. For me, caring for animals is something I truly love. Thank you for considering my pet walking and sitting services! Here’s a quick look at my weekly availability to help you plan your pet’s care. From Monday through Thursday, I offer both morning and evening visits—ideal for walk-and-feed combos or keeping your pet company before and after your workday. My morning hours typically run between 6:00 and 8:00 AM, and evening slots from 7:00 and 9:00 PM. Fridays through Sundays, I’m available all day, offering full flexibility for longer walks, multiple visits, or extended pet-sitting sessions. If your needs fall outside of my usual hours, I’m happy to be flexible—just reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. Whether your pet needs a quick stroll or all-day care, I’ve got you covered on the weekends. I look forward to keeping your furry friends happy, healthy, and loved while you're away! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I take every precaution to ensure a secure and comfortable experience during each walk or sitting session. I always use the leash, harness, or collar your pet is already familiar with, as provided by you, to help them feel comfortable and secure. Walks are kept in safe, pet-friendly areas away from heavy traffic or unfamiliar hazards, and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being throughout our time together. I follow all care instructions you provide—whether it’s feeding routines, medication, or special needs—and make sure your home is locked and secure after each visit. I'm also happy to send photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you're away. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands every step of the way.

About: I have 2 beautiful healthy cats and 2 big beautiful dogs, a Doberman and leonberger. I also just had an amazing baby boy May 2025. I’m very family oriented. I spend my days training, going on runs and walks and playing with my dogs and my baby. I also have experience taking care of sick pets, unfortunately my Doberman had a major surgery because she swallowed a corn on the cob, she’s okay but during that time I learned to administer medication and take care of her for weeks. I think she’s taught me a little too much in the year I’ve had her haha. Animals always trust me and I know how to take care of pets. I’m always looking for the chance to play with cats and dogs, I love playing fetch with my bestfriends Husky Pretzel. I love to go on walks just like dogs do! I’m a full time college student at Weber state studying criminal justice. I have no employment right now just picking up side gigs here and there. I’m really focusing on my college career and being a new mom and living life as best I can in my 20s. My cats are super friendly but if there was ever a problem I have a spare room for my cats that I could keep them in. I crate pups when no one is home because a dog’s natural behavior is to get into things and get bills are expensive. It keeps them safe! I make sure dogs have their collars on with name tags when outside and microchipping is highly recommended. I feed my cats on a schedule and never forget so your pets will not go hungry or thirsty.

About: 20+ years of animal care experience, I offer reliable, passionate pet care you can count on. I grew up in Elwood on a small farm, utah, we're caring for Animals was a part of everyday life. Since then , I've been The Trusted go-to for friends and family, known for treating every pet like my own- with patience, attention, and genuine love for all animals! I have gradually stepped down in hours at my job. I just lost a pet of my own, and I think it would be wonderful to hang out with other people's animals. Because I always have had so much love to give! 20 plus years of experience. Never late, always detailed. Regular updates with photos and notes no surprises there. Following your instructions precisely with food, meds, routines.

About: I love animals of all kind! I had pets growing up and as an adult. I have also done a lot of pet sitting for my family and friends. I have also done many "Sniff Abouts" for the local animal shelter. I have experience with senior dogs and dogs of all sizes. Though I've never owned a cat, I have loved the times I get to pet sit them as well. I'll treat your fur baby like part of the family! I'm a stay at home mom with a husband who works from home so my schedule is very open. I'm very flexible and can work around most anything. We treat our own pets like members of our family and I'll do the same for yours. Our pets are special and deserve the absolute best care!

Her home is also located close to a walking trail that makes for stimulating sniff walks. Jamie has three kids who demonstrate remarkable understanding when it comes to the care of dogs and how to interact with them. I completely trust Jamie with the care of Pip. I am confident she would be just as kind and loving to your dog too. I highly recommend Jamie for dog sitting.”
