“Mark was a great fit for caring for our sweet, but high demand Belgian Malinois. He followed through with all of our requests, and was a great communicator. He provided us updates with videos and photos while we were away, which was much appreciated. Would recommend!”
“Sydney was so great with our two dogs! They can be a little picky but Sydney was able to have them warm right up to her. She made us comfortable being away from our dogs as we knew she was taking excellent care of them! She sent us photos and videos to help us know they were doing well. We will be booking her again on the future!”
“Meretta is fabulous! She really takes the time and effort to get on the good side of a dog. She was patient with my 14-year-old mini schnauzer, who can be a cranky old man. I recommend her highly. And the house was left clean and tidy. We communicated daily so I would know how he was doing. She really is a gem.”
“Lexie was fantastic! From the moment she arrived, she was a beacon of support, providing frequent updates and delightful photos that truly put our minds at ease while we were away. Our dogs took to her immediately, visibly excited and comfortable in her presence. She was exceptionally communicative, always checking in and ensuring that she fully understood and addressed all our specific needs regarding their care. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets and went above and beyond to make sure they felt loved and secure.”
“Nephi and his wife were great. The dogs were happy and the house was clean. They sent us lots of updates throughout the day and kept us appraised of everything going on. Would love to use them again!”
“Emily was the best pet sitter!! Coming home to our pups happy & healthy and the house still standing! It’s such a good feeling!!! We are so thankful for Emily and her attentiveness and being willingness to love our dogs while we were gone for the weekend! Thank you so much!! She texted & updated.! And paid attention to our instructions. We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“A very caring sitter in a calm environment, which is what my elderly dog needs. Charlie has quite a few medicines, including three eyedrops. Darlena took it all in stride. I especially appreciated her letting Charlie sleep with her as he's used to cuddling overnight. Already scheduling two more stays for Charlie and have recommended her to a friend.”
About: I am a reliable, trustworthy and knowledgeable adult that has taken care of many animals over the years. I am a retired Vet tech assistant. I am very knowledgeable in special needs animals; blind, diabetic and fearful traits. I can administer medications and give injections if necessary. I’ve been pet sitting for clients from the vet clinic for the past 20 years. Hi, will always go out of my way to make sure that an animal is comfortable and feels loved. When I had my three dogs, I loved them as much as my children. I always say dogs are my people. I currently just moved to Utah and would like to start a new client base here. I am available most days unless I have a scheduled event. If I am staying at someone’s home, I make sure that I am with the animal (s) for most of the day. If I have to leave, it will be for short amounts of time, but I prefer to be in the home, especially if the animals are used to having their parent home with them. I love to spend time outside with the dogs. Exercise is extremely important. I will always treat your pet as if it were my own.
“Jami was amazing! This was my first time using Rover. I am an anxious to leave my dog and have a dog that has separation anxiety. Jami was wonderful and attentive to Lola's needs while I was gone. She sent daily pictures and updates while I was away. She also took care of my garden as well. Everything was beautiful when I got home.”
“Olivia is amazing! She took such great care of our pups and our home. She is thoughtful, respectful, loving, and trustworthy. We couldn't be happier with Olivia and hope she will be available for all of our future dog-sitting needs. Highly recommended 👌😊🙏”
About: As a kid I’ve had a variety of small pets and currently two cats. I’ve cared for neighbor kids, dogs, cats, hamsters, and chinchillas. I was an intern at West Mountain Veterinary Hospital and am going to UVU for Pre-Vet right now. Every booking helps pay for college! Due to college and a job I’ll only be available weekends and evenings starting Aug 20th. Most likely I will be available and in town for upcoming holidays though :) 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.
About: My husband and I are a pet-loving team offering double the care, attention, and flexibility. I grew up with a sweet small dog named Teddy and shared a close bond with my cat Suki for four wonderful years. My husband brings experience with larger dogs, and together we provide a balanced and loving environment for pets of all sizes and personalities. We’re dependable, gentle, and treat every pet like family—with two of us, your furry friend will get plenty of attention, love, and care around the clock. I currently work part-time as an Esthetician, usually on Tuesdays and occasionally Fridays, which means I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets throughout the week. My husband works full-time Monday through Friday until 5 PM, so if I ever have an evening shift, he’s available to step in and help. With both of us working together, we’re able to offer consistent, attentive care—even on busy days. Whether your pet needs a midday potty break, playtime, or overnight snuggles, we’ve got it covered! Since I’m not able to host pets at my home, I offer personalized care right in the comfort of yours—where your pet feels safest and most relaxed. I’ll follow your routine closely, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, or snuggles on the couch. I’ll keep your pet company, respect your space, and make sure everything stays clean and well-maintained. My goal is to give your pet love and attention like you never left, and to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I love animals and the positive energy they bring. I taught my dog how to sit and when he got old I loved him and was patient with him. I’m working part time at wing-stop. Most my days are free and I’d love to give your dogs attention and love and care for them. I have a fence around my house. I don’t have any dogs living at my house so there isn’t a chance of conflict with dogs in my home. I’m respectful of others houses.
“Stephanie is outstanding! I felt comfortable leaving her with my pups for 2 weeks. She has amazing communication and sends frequent updates. I would recommend her to my closest friends and family”
“Shaylee was great! I’m always nervous leaving my dog at home for a long period of time. Shaylee took great care of my dog and gave me updates which made me feel better. I will be using her again in the future. I highly recommend her!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life. I'm excited to take care of your furry family. I've trained horses and I have a dog of my own who is very sweet and kind. I work at nights at an arcade but I'm able to walk your pets, or drop by all hours of the day. I'll make sure they're well taken care of and loved 😋🩷 I have an open house, large back yard and a sizable built in kennel off to the side of the house. I'll be able to take care of all your pets needs and we'll have lots of fun together
About: Please note: We prefer hypoallergenic dogs since I have a son that's a little allergic, but we're willing to meet your dog and see how he does. He's fine with some dogs so we haven't figured it out. My family and I love dogs. They're therapeutic and we LOVE to snuggle them and play with them. I’ve had many years of experience with dogs. I've taken care of senior dogs and a dog with special needs, I've taken care of puppies, I've taken care of a female dog in heat and I've had up to 6 dogs at my house before for a dog play date. I've raised two puppies in my lifetime and I've had several different dogs, most of them were rescue dogs from the shelter. I've gone to people's homes to house sit and watch their dogs or to just let their dogs out, I've walked peoples dogs and I've met several different kinds of dogs when we take our dog to the dog park. I love them all and so does my dog Milo! I'm a stay at home mom so I am home often and will be available for your dog as much as I can. I can play with your dog(s), snuggle them, feed them, walk them and love them. I do prefer dogs that don't bark a whole lot, since I have a baby that still naps. I have a fenced backyard and I have a friendly dog that will welcome and play with your dog. Assuming your dog is house trained, I'm happy to have them in my home but if it's good weather, I do put them outside often during the day. If your dog likes to run off, please make sure you let me know so we can be extra careful. Although I have a son that's learning to keep the front door shut so dogs won't run out and a toddler who is curious and pulls at dogs hair sometimes, I will try everything in my power to keep your dog safe and feeling comfortable and loved!

Jada F.
“I have known Jada for close to 15 years. She is the most compassionate animal lover I’ve ever met. She took care of our yellow lab, Max, many times for us when we had to be out of town ranging from one night to a 2+ week trip. She always treated him like one of her own and had no problem handling his meals, walks, and giving him his daily medications. Max loved his time with Jada and would happily go to her each time he saw her. Seeing the care she gave her personal pets (all sizes from a Jack Russel with diabetes to a rescue Rottweiler mix) and knowing her history of working in a vet office gave us added peace of mind that she could handle any emergencies that may come up while our Max was in her care. Jada truly puts her whole heart into any animals that she’s caring for. Aside from the exceptional pet care she provides, she is trustworthy and reliable and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending her to care for someone’s pet!”

Kinlee J.
“She did super amazing! We had a weird request for her and she had no problem completing it and spending the day with our two puppies! Would definitely recommend!”
Madison S.
“Maddie helped out with our animals while we traveled out of state for a long vacation. We are huge animal lovers, so we have a lot of pets! She was fantastic!!! She went over a few times a day to make sure that they all received love and attention while we were away. She sent us photos of them and updated us daily on how they were doing, which we requested. All of the animals loved her! She is very calm and sweet, so our pets quickly warmed up to her. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants their fur babies to have the best care!”
Lauren & Nate H.
“Lauren absolutely loves animals! All of her future plans include her out on a piece of land surrounded by various animals. I saw her care for her cat with so much love like it was her child. She isn’t in a situation where she can have animals right now which means she has a whole lot of love just waiting to give to your’s.”
Cali H.
“I've known Cali for years, and I can say without a doubt that she is one of the most loving and responsible people when it comes to animals. She's had a dog since she was three years old, so caring for pets has always been second nature to her. Cali has a natural connection with animals—she understands their needs, moods, and quirks, and always makes them feel safe and happy. Whether it's going for a walk, playing fetch, or making sure your pet is fed and comfortable, Cali gives her full attention and care. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with her, and any pet parent can feel confident knowing their furry family member is in the best hands. I can't recommend her enough!”
Stephanie S.
“Stephanie is outstanding! I felt comfortable leaving her with my pups for 2 weeks. She has amazing communication and sends frequent updates. I would recommend her to my closest friends and family”
Shaylee P.
“Shaylee was great! I’m always nervous leaving my dog at home for a long period of time. Shaylee took great care of my dog and gave me updates which made me feel better. I will be using her again in the future. I highly recommend her!”
Audrey N.
“Amazing with all animals from dogs to cat as well as horses and, donkeys. She has experience both with domestic and farm animals & pets.”
Lindsey R.
“Lindsey and family really enjoy animals. Their own dog is the calmest and most accepting, easy going dog imaginable. Plenty of lawn and dog toys!”
