Dog Sitting Riverton

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I have my own sweet little rescue dog who is good with other dogs and loves people to death! I am an active and experienced pet owner who knows how hard it is to find someone you trust to look after your little one! That’s why I’m here. I want to help you feel confident and comfortable inviting someone into your home to care for your pet. I have a big fenced yard at my home, and lots of room for dogs to run and play. I pride myself in treating all animals with love and respect. I can recognize dogs’ various signals, and feel confident that I can keep your pet safe, happy and healthy! I am a full time stay at home mom! I would love to take care of your pet in the evenings and weekends while my husband can be home from work with my human babies! As a mom and the manager of my own home, I am a very clean and detail oriented person. I will always treat your home with upmost respect. I’m happy to water plants, pick up your mail, or complete any other small tasks you may need while I’m caring for your pet. I will follow any instructions you have on where you’d like them to sleep, how they like to be fed, rules of the house, etc. your wish is my command!

“I was happy to have Natalie available when my Ivan, needed a drop-in visit/walk! She is super sweet, very responsive/communicative, shows up on time, and she's SO good with my doggo! I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to her again & I can confidently recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and caring pet sitter. Thanks, Natalie!!”

“Meisha has watched Zion (black lab) and Moose (cat) a number of times and has been incredible each and every time! She sends lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciate as someone who has trouble leaving my fur babies behind for a trip. This most recent visit, I reached out last minute because my pup had been stung by a bee and I had to go into work that night. I wasn’t comfortable leaving her alone for my entire shift and all of my friends were out of town for the holiday weekend and unavailable. Meisha was so kind and came by a few times throughout the night to hang out with Zion and Moose. The absolute kindest and best sitter to work with! Really couldn’t recommend her enough.”

“Mayci was a huge help and Blue, who's rather anxious, warmed up to her quickly. She also reached with anything unusual, and went the extra mile. Thank you!”

“Sachi has provided great care for my dog on multiple occasions. I never have any issues with Sachi and my dog is very happy. I have no complaints and will continue to request for Sachi's dog services.”

“Lindsey was super flexible in assisting us in a last minute situation. Her communication was excellent and she gave us frequent updates regarding our dog which made us feel at ease. We would highly recommend her.”

“Alyssa was great!! Even though my dog is very shy, Alyssa took the time to have come out of her room and had her come outside. She’s very respectful and followed the instructions I left for her in order. She came to my house to check on Canela and made me feel my doggie was not alone. I really appreciate her for that and if I need to go out of town again and I can’t bring my doggie. I’ll call her again. She’s really good with pets 😌”

About: Welcome to Wiggly Butt Retreat, where dogs are spoiled, snuggled, and adored. I provide calm, home-based dog boarding and daycare designed to feel less like traditional boarding and more like staying with someone your dog already knows and loves. I am generally home throughout the day, so my guests get plenty of attention, affection, playtime, outdoor breaks, and, of course, naps and cuddles. I intentionally keep things small and personal. I mostly care for one dog/household at a time. If I do take more than one, it's always discussed with owners and I'm very selective about the dogs I accept together. I consider personality, temperament, size, energy level, age, and individual needs because I want every dog in my home to feel safe and comfortable. This is not a crowded kennel or large daycare environment. It is my home, and every dog who stays here becomes part of it for a little while. Dogs have been a huge part of my life for almost 30 years. I've raised and trained my own dogs, spent about 15 years fostering and helping rehabilitate abused and neglected dogs, volunteered as a dog specialist in high-stress shelter environments, and completed animal behavior and handling training through Best Friends Animal Society and Salt Lake County Animal Services. That experience has taught me that dogs aren't one-size-fits-all. Some want to play all day. Some would happily spend the afternoon curled up next to me. Some need a little extra patience before they decide I'm trustworthy. And some need more structure, space, or reassurance to feel comfortable. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog's personality and figuring out what makes them happiest. Most importantly, I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. My goal is for you to leave knowing they're safe, loved, understood, and probably being spoiled a little more than they'll admit when you get home. Welcome to Wiggly Butt Retreat. Cozy home, calm vibes, happy tails. I am generally home throughout the day, and I keep our daily routine flexible based on the needs of the pups staying with me. Energetic and ready to go? There will be plenty of walks, outdoor time, play, and opportunities to burn off that energy. More of a couch potato? Laid-back days, cozy naps, and couch snuggles are some of my favorite pastimes! Because I intentionally keep the number of dogs in my care exclusive/small, I'm able to get to know each pup's personality and make sure they get the right balance of activity, attention, play, and downtime. Not every dog wants to do the same thing, and that's perfectly okay. Pups are rarely left alone while staying with me. If I do need to step out, it's typically for a short period of time, usually no more than an hour or two. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority. There are no pets or children in the home, which helps create a quieter, lower-stress environment for dogs who prefer a little more peace and consistency. My family are all dog people, so pups are always surrounded by people who genuinely love and enjoy them. We have a fenced patio/run where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, stretch their legs, and take easy potty breaks throughout the day. I also have a secure lead setup in the front yard where dogs who enjoy the outdoors can safely relax, sunbathe on the outdoor bed, sniff around, and enjoy some fresh air while supervised. We’re also surrounded by some of Daybreak’s best dog-friendly parks, walking trails, and green space, including areas near the lake, which means lots of safe, leashed walks, fresh air, sniffing, and enrichment. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I require a meet & greet for all new clients to make sure we are a great fit before booking.

“Ashlie took such good care of Rossy! This was our first time using Rover so we were a little anxious, but Ashlie came and met her beforehand and we loved that! Super communicative all day with us and Rossy barely noticed we weren’t there!”

“Leah and her BF came for a drop in to feed my pups and let them outside. She did that and spent some time cuddling with them on the couch!”

“Michelle was great with our cats! They really enjoyed their time with her and put us at peace if mind they would be taken care of while we were gone. Will certainly be using again in the future!!”

About: I've got two cats of my own that have been taken care of for the last 18 years. That won't stop me from loving other pets as well. I have taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family. I respect both dog and cat boundaries; a staple for any kind of short term or long term relationships. Whatever they need, I'm more than happy to help so that you know they are well taken care of. I work full-time, but have some available days during the week where I work from home and can take the time to care for your pet. I have a townhouse with two cats. The older one is okay with dogs, but the younger one will hide. As for cat sitting, the older one keeps to himself and doesn't try to cause fights, but the younger one is friendly and always wants to play.

“We’re so thankful for you, Ashlie! We appreciate you keeping Sasha cared for while we were away. Thank you for updating us daily on how Sasha was doing. Until next time!”

About: I’ve have done a lot of pet sitting. I’ve also worked with dogs who need medication! I love animals and I love being able to work them! I am outgoing, and friendly, and I also have pets of my own! I am currently working part time which will give me lots of time to play with your animals, and assist you! I am available in mornings and some nights. I will be as flexible as possible to work with you! I feed my animals everyday, and take my dog on walks often. I also take care of my hamster and my cats, and feed them and clean their areas as well!

“Joey is great. She notified me right away when we had a concerning gas smell in the house. Her first priority was to make sure the creatures were safe and try to help turn off the gas.”

“Steven was great!!! He is great at communicating and responds super fast. He was amazing with our dog, and gave great photos and updates in our rover card. Can’t wait to book with him again! Thank you so much for watching our dog!!”

About: I'm a pet lover who currently does not have any pets. I would love to care for yours. Comfortable with dogs of all sizes, bunnies, ferrets, birds, etc. I work from home so your pet won't feel lonely. Available for boarding any day of the week. Available for walking M-F evenings and weekend afternoons or evenings. Since I do work from home during the week I can only consider staying at your home Friday or Saturday evenings. My yard is large, fully fenced, fully landscaped and safe. I am home most of the time as well. Pets can be crated or non crated. I work from home during the day. Most pups like to hang out in the office near me while I’m working. I take regular breaks to let them out during the day. Once I am finished with work I am available for walks or playtime in the yard and relaxing/cuddle time before bed. I am a homebody and will be with your pet the majority of the time they are with me. My yard is spacious, safe and secure with no hazardous concerns. The neighborhood is quiet.

“Friendly and loved our Maggie!”
