About: I bring a genuine passion for animals in addition to years of experience in met care. I understand the importance of compassionate and attentive care. I prioritize your pet’s safety above all else. Whether it’s just a stroll or an energetic play session, I tailor each walk to fit the needs and preferences of your dog and I can ensure that they receive the love and exercise they deserve! For dog walking, I can do it any day of the week after six o’clock, Sundays and Saturdays are a lot more open. Message me for more detail on that. For an overnight stay, any day of the week works as long as I can have at least an hour notice! For the time your dog is under my care, they become a part of our family! I provide a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment where they will receive personalized attention and plenty of affection. Whether it’s walks, play time, or just cuddling on the couch, I promise that your dog’s needs are met with love and care. Additionally, I keep a clean and pet friendly home environment, complete with cozy bedding and ample yard space to roam and explore. You can rest easy knowing that your pup is in good hands and will return to you happy, healthy, and well loved!

“Gayle was amazing with my dog! My dog gets nervous around new people, but Gayle came in and did such a great job! Sent me communications and pictures. I will definitely keep using her to help watch my pup 🥰”


About: As a kid I’ve had bunnies, hamsters, and rats, and currently two cats. I’ve cared for neighbor kids, dogs, cats, hamsters, and chinchillas. I’ve currently an intern at West Mountain Veterinary Hospital and am going to UVU for Pre-Vet right now. Every booking helps pay for college! I currently work odd hour shifts so I’m available nearly anytime! Just let me know what works best for you and we’ll figure it out. Starting Aug 20 I’ll be at classes 12-5 every week day, other then that I’m free! To make sure your pet is having the best experience I’d like to have you tell me a little about them! And if I’ll be house sitting I’ll need a run down of emergency contacts, medication, and the likes. I am also a certified EMR through the American Red Cross.

About: I have owned and loved dogs since I was little and can’t get enough of them! Our pup has been class trained so I know the ropes and know how to help them have a fun time while staying safe. My husband and I spent a summer working at a doggy daycare, gaining valuable experience taking care of dogs while making sure they are happy & safe. I currently work as a mental health therapist and am a short 5 minute drive from my home, making check in’s and potty breaks quick and accessible. The time that I am away I am usually only gone for 2-3 hours at a time and my husband works from home so your pup is always watched over. I am also free on the weekends including Saturday and Sunday.

Potty breaks and walks are essential parts of our pup’s day in addition to exercise and relaxation.

“Heather is outstanding! She is so sweet to my dogs and provides really good photos and updates on every drop in! She even helped me out with a last minute emergency visit! I would recommend her to anyone! 💖”


About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, starting from my childhood as I was raised at my family’s farm. Over the years, I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends and family members when they travel, caring for a variety of breeds including doodles, schnauzers, and hounds. I currently have two lovable Great Pyrenees mixes and a cat of my own, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or overnight care, I treat every pet like part of the family—because that’s exactly what they are. Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening cuddles, I can easily adjust my day to meet your pet’s routine. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so making time for it never feels like a chore, it’s a part of my lifestyle. I take care of pets on walks by make sure it’s not too hot or cold outside, touching the pavement, watching for discarded food on the ground, and keeping them focused on the walk and not on other animals or people.

“Stephanie will always be our go to sitter! She is great in home sitter and wonderful thoughtful as a drop in visitor.”


“Nicole was the best taking care of my girls. She made sure they each had the kind of attention the need and want, which is very different from each other. I appreciated the updates, pictures and small details only a true dog lover would know to give.”


About: ive been taking care of all animals since i was a kid, heavily trusted with friends, family, and neighbors. very genuine and respectful of their boundaries always with animals, unemployed so i have a very flexible schedule, whether its weekdays, weekends, or short notice, i have time and love hanging out with all animals! my pets are very well taken care of, fed, exercised, loved and cared for, id treat every animal with the same energy i give my pets! i keep things clean, safe, and calm so they feel comfortable


About: I have a soft spot for dogs, especially those who have had a hard time finding forever families. Both of my dogs were temporary fosters in my home, but in the end became part of my family instead. I love training, playing with, and hanging out with fur-babies. I do my best to love your dog like my own, and reinforce any ongoing training you're doing. I can administer oral and topical medications, and belly rubs, and I would be happy to give them any additional care you request including baths. I will pay special attention to any dietary restrictions or medical concerns. I am at home full time. I do have kennels primarily for meal times, and for sleeping. We are all together the rest of the day. Dogs are introduced one at a time, at the pace of the most nervous dog. I have kennels that are useful to briefly hold a dog while they are waiting their turn to meet a new arrival, or to give each dog space during meal times. The cats have their own space that they can freely access (litterbox and cat food are kept out of the reach of our guests). The cats observe from a distance or a height until they are ready to introduce themselves. Most dogs are here for several hours before they see our cats.

“10 out of 10, would highly recommend Madison. I've had Madison take care of my Alaskan Malamute a number of times over the past year, both to for walks and for overnight dog sitting. My pup always comes back happy with his tail wagging. I trust that all the instructions I give for the little intricacies of how he likes/needs things will be followed. Madison also super communicative, letting me know if something out of the ordinary happened or if they noticed something that might need attention. Cannot recommend enough!”
