House Sitting in Rush Valley

About: I have had all sorts of animals since I was born. I currently have 3 dogs(a german shepherd, giant schnauzer, and mini schnauzer), 1 cat(russian blue) and 2 ducks. I know how to give medicine if needed. No animal is too big or too small. I have been pet sitting for family friends for about a few years now. I have always wanted to work with animals since I was in 5th grade so being able to work with your animals will help me fulfill my dream. I will love and care for your pet like they are my own. Sometime in the future, I want to further my education in Veterinary Science and hopefully get my degree one day. Being able to work with your animals will help a ton! I am currently working 4-5 days a week for Lululemon in Salt Lake and I always have Sundays off no matter what the month is. I keep pets comfortable and happy in my home by sticking to their routine for meals, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, lots of attention, and feel safe and loved.

About: I absolutely love animals! I have experience with having up to 30 dogs in one yard and understand their body language to avoid fights and tiffs. I would love to help care for your fur babies to make sure they are happy and healthy! I have open availability mornings on weekdays! Evenings sometime are a little more tricky for me. If you are in need for help over a weekend reach out! I might be able to! 😁 I love making sure your pet is happy, safe and healthy. I have close attention to detail if you have any concerns, stuff to be aware of or things to be checked up on.

About: I have over 20 years of experience pet sitting and boarding for families who want to be able to go out of town with no worries about their pet while they are away. I run a non profit dog rescue and am also very experienced in identifying medical problems or special needs with any dog that I am caring for. I will give your pets one on one attention and love while you are away and make them part of my family. I am willing to take in special needs or difficult dogs. I have references from previous clients I have pet sat for. Dogs are my life and your dog will be safe under my care. I will send updates during your time away with pictures and information. They will snuggle on the couches with me and sleep with me if they choose to. I do require that your dog can be crated if I need to leave for an amount of time. This is for their safety. Safety is my #1 concern for your pet. Come visit me with your precious furkids to see first hand my knowledge, love and experience. I want you to be able to leave and not have to worry. References are available upon request.

About: I’m a responsible college student who genuinely loves animals and enjoys spending time caring for them. While I’ve only taken care of a few dogs so far, I’m very attentive, patient, and committed to making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m great at following instructions, keeping routines consistent, and paying attention to details like feeding schedules, walks, and playtime. I’m also very respectful of people’s homes and can help with small tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants. I will always communicate clearly and send updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands! I’m a BYU student with classes from 10 AM–1 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays, and a 12–1 PM class Monday through Thursday. Outside of these times, I can provide dedicated cat care, including feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, and companionship. I can visit multiple times a day or stay for longer periods depending on your cat’s needs. I’m flexible and committed to maintaining your cat’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I care for cats by creating a calm, secure, and clean environment. I follow all instructions for feeding, litter box maintenance, and playtime. I always respect each cat’s personality and boundaries, ensuring they feel safe and loved. Your home and your cat’s wellbeing are my top priorities.

About: I grew up LOVING dogs and cats and honestly all sorts of animals . I dont have any official training in veterinary practices, but I do feel I do know quite a bit of taking care of animals and making them feel safe and loved . I have two beagles I helped my father raise after we got them from a rescue and they are the best part of my life. I love animals I hope you consider me to animals sit so I can just spend time loving on animals. 😁👍 (I list my experience mainly caring for my beagles but I promise ive been caring for dogs for more than three years) I honestly love spending as much of my day taking care of dogs as I physically can, weather thats bringing them with me places, playing in the yard, or just giving pets. I always try to be with the animal (because as much is i love em sometimes they can get into trouble if not watched) I always make sure I know if foods are safe for animals first off no matter what if I dont know. Even if its treats honestly I still like to read for a second or two. Always make sure areas are safe too, make sure things are picked up so nothing can be grabbed by a doggo, and also if im letting them out to go potty I always keep track of where they are especially at night because things happen to fences all the time and dogs are smart.

“Hailee was so diligent and loving with my boys! She gave regular updates and plenty of photos to give me peace of mind while traveling. 10 out of 10!”

About: Hi, I’m Jay, and my wife Cindy is a full-time mom to our teenage daughter and our dog. Cindy grew up on a farm, which sparked her lifelong love for animals and plants. Over the years, we’ve cared for two Havanese dogs and a yellow Labrador Retriever. We currently have a very sweet female Havanese who gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Our daughter also loves playing with dogs and takes great care of them. We have a spacious, fenced yard where your small dog can play safely. We only accept hypoallergenic or non-shedding breeds. We generally welcome dogs weighing between 3 and 25 pounds and allow them to lounge on our couches. However, for safety reasons, we cannot accommodate aggressive dogs, so you may need to find another sitter in that case. Cindy is a full-time stay-at-home mom, so dogs in our care receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Our whole family genuinely loves having dogs around, and we treat every pup as part of our family while they’re with us. We’re happy to provide dog beds, bowls, toys, and a crate if needed. We’re typically available 24/7 and always make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Hello! I’m Jay’s wife, Cindy. I start my mornings at 6 AM by heading out to the backyard with the dogs, and I love making sure they’re well cared for throughout the day. Mealtime is one of my favorite moments with them, so if you have any specific requests regarding your dog’s food, please feel free to let me know anytime! When dogs visit for the first time, they often want to go outside to the backyard every 30 minutes to an hour. This is usually because they are curious and exploring their new environment, seeking comfort in open spaces, marking their territory, or simply adjusting their bathroom habits while settling in. I enjoy spending time outside with the dogs, watching them explore and playing fetch—especially when the weather is nice. Even when they’re just roaming around the backyard, I always keep an eye on them to ensure they’re safe. When it’s time for a nap, I let the dogs rest peacefully while I send updates to their owners. I love being home all day, sharing my time with the dogs and my family. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or needs some extra attention, I always tailor their care to ensure they’re comfortable and happy. Caring for dogs has been a big part of my life. Over the past five years, I’ve raised and nurtured dozens of Havanese and Labrador Retriever puppies before helping them find their forever homes. I also have a passion for photography! With my background in film, video production, and visual effects design, I love capturing special moments of the dogs through photos. I’m always happy to adjust to your dog’s preferences and needs, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any special requests or questions!

“Misha was so sweet and kept in touch with me throughout her stay at my house. I Can always tell when my dogs didn’t like the sitter once I get home but they seemed so happy! Misha even did my dishes haha would absolutely recommend”

About: I grew up in a family that always had dogs and cats (and fish and ferrets and more!). I became the 'dog whisperer' of the household, older siblings asking me to get the dogs to do what they wished. Now I'm the go-to for family, friends, and in-laws for pet-sitting. Dogs are the most common but I've loved helping friends out with caring for their cats, guinea pigs, bunnies, and even birds - I really do appreciate all critters! I believe it's important for sitters and carers to be able to read the animals they're caring for and respond appropriately - it's easy for most folks to communicate with big boisterous dogs but I'm also ready to mirror appeasement gestures and minimize myself for the shy guys. My goal is to reduce any amount of stress your pet may encounter while you're away. Summer is here and classes don't start until fall so my schedule is completely open and flexible. That means I can also help out on Sundays! My first step is making sure your pet is comfortable with me. Most dogs are heavily food motivated and just want to do a good job, so some easy commands and some kibble can build rapport quickly. Others prefer pets or a specific toy - anything to build a positive association with my presence. I'll let cats choose how they would like to interact - calmly and politely as to not spook them. A comfortable animal then allows me to safely make sure they are fed and watered. I happily get to socialize and play with your willing pets while respecting the boundaries of those pets who can be shy or anxious. If you know your pet will never be comfortable with me, lets discuss that pets specific behaviors and build a plan to make sure their needs are being met safely.

About: I was raised on a ranch with various annimals and understand how to communicate with all animals. I currently am the mom to two herding dogs that I keep mentally and physically active. I’m 5’8 and strong so I can work with large breeds. My schedule is completely open. Ideally my working hours are between 7am and 8pm. I’m working to combine my love for hiking and walking with my love for animals and ensuring they have a happy and balanced life. I am available for hikes, walks, drop-ins and pet sitting at your home. I will work with special needs dogs and animals. I will work on specific training your dog is currently needing. I’m tall and fit so I can work with large breeds.

“Brianne sat for me last minute and took great care of my two dogs - a GSD and toy maltipoo. She was easy to coordinate with and sent photos and updates regularly which I appreciated! I'd happily rebook her.”

About: I’m the girl who can walk into a home for the first time and have your pets cuddled up next to me within minutes - and I absolutely love it! With nearly a decade of professional experience caring for dogs and cats, I’ve been trusted by families, neighbors, and friends to walk, feed, bathe, snuggle, and play with their furry loved ones. I bring lots of energy and affection to every visit, always making sure pets feel safe, loved, and happy. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I naturally keep doors closed and locked, double-check collars and leashes before walks, and stay alert to my surroundings at all times. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, and if anything ever seems off, I’ll reach out right away, prioritizing open communication. Click the link below to schedule within my availability - I’d love to meet your fur family! I work full time Monday-Friday but am happy staying with your pet and checking in mornings or nights. I am fully available on the weekends. I always prioritize the safety of your animals by instinctually keeping the necessary doors closed/locked, checking colar/leash security before beginning walks, keeping your pet within my sight at all times, staying aware of surroundings and in control of your pet responsibly. You can count on regular photos and videos of your fur-child, and if anything seems even slightly off, I’m committed to open communication and proactively seeking solutions with your consent.

“Sara was fantastic and I will absolutely be having her sit again! She treated my fur babies like they were her own and all of my puppers instantly loved her ❤️ She sent frequent updates and always included photos which made leaving them behind a bit easier. Usually I feel the need to check in on the doggos on our dog cam, but the photos satisfied that desire and she got some great action shots! 😂 I also appreciated that she immediately let me know of any concerns or potential issues and kept me up to date on any changes. Highly recommend and will be hiring her again in the future. Thanks Sara!”

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was born. When I was around 13 is when I first started babysitting animals for neighbors. I love animals more than anything and find so much joy in being with them. They have such genuine souls. I do have another job so I tend to work around that and this! My other job is 5 days a week but different shifts every week! I’m always happy to work around you and your pups/kitties needs! I will happily play with your animals and take them on walks, feed them, and take them out to go to the bathroom. I will sleep with them if needed and help with whatever their needs are. I do always tend to bring my boyfriend along with me. He is a big animal lover and I also do it for my safety as well! We love animals and have 5 of our own!

About: I am a grandma who loves to walk and loves pets, so win/win for everyone!! Can’t wait to meet your fur babies and start walking! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. Because of my retirement, I am consistent with feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I make sure each pet gets attention throughout the day—not just the basics. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I build in flexibility so I can adapt to each pet’s needs, whether that’s extra potty breaks, medication, or just more cuddle time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I’m attentive to details like securing doors, monitoring behavior, and keeping a close eye on anything that could pose a risk. I also provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: My family has always had a dog or cat in the home. My dog Maxx and I have been together for 5 years! We also recently lost our senior Dogs Sadie (mini poodle) and Charlie Jr (toy poodle). Most of my career experience has been in healthcare. I work at the University of Utah Hospital. I have done hikes, walks, kayaking, playdates and a little obedience training with other dogs. I have experience with senior dogs and giving medication. I have a flexible schedule and would love to work with you! I work full time at the University of Utah Hospital, but mostly night shifts. My schedule varies, but will keep my scheduled updated online as accurately as possible. I am able to come to your home and take care of feeding, toileting, and just quality time with your pets. I am happy to come over and take your dog for a walk around the neighborhood. I'm can be flexible with my schedule. Just let me know what you need!

“Caroline was amazing with my 3 dogs! I have a beagle, husky, and a pit/husky mix and I’m always a little nervous with leaving them with someone but Caroline went above and beyond to manage their craziness and give them love!! My dogs loved her and Caroline’s dog Lady! I really appreciate receiving frequent updates about them when I’m away and she was great with sending me pictures regularly and keeping me in the loop. She even took them out to the parks a bunch of times. They looked like they were having a blast! And knowing that means so much while you’re away from your pet! She also treated my house very well while we were away and kept it nice and clean. Definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a house sitter or pet sitter!”
