About: I have been Dog Walking for clients for 7 years, Dog & Cat Sitting for 4 years. I grew up with two dogs and two cats, providing experience to take care of animals. Also, I have been volunteering for animal shelters for 4 years. I have experience walking tiny puppies, large Great Danes, and my 14 year-old senior poodle! Pet care is my part-time job as a Biochemistry student and it fits into my daily/weekly routine following my class schedule. Overall, I am available starting around noon every weekday, and free all day on the weekends. I will care for the pets in my client's home following their exact instructions. I have experience walking dogs out of the client's home, playing with them in the backyard, providing food, and giving medication.
“Elena was absolutely incredible. I have an older anxious cat that I never feel at ease leaving when I travel. She took wonderful care of him and I was confident he was in safe hands. She was super prompt responding to lots of overbearing pet mom messages. I got tons of pictures and feedback in his rover card and was never made to feel like a burden for my questions. Will absolutely be looking to book Elena when I travel again! Could not recommend highly enough.”
“Faith does great with my senior cat, blind shih tzu, and border collie! I hate leaving them, but I don't have to worry at all with Faith checking in on them.”
“Marissa did a fantastic job taking care of my rambunctious cats while we were away for a month. She fed them on time, cleaned their litter boxes each visit, and sent us some great pictures. Overall, Marissa was very communicative and reliable throughout her stay. We won't hesitate to book her for our future getaways! Thanks again, Marissa!”
“August has been great with our dogs and cats. We have one dog that is a little nervous around new people but August handled it perfectly and put Pippa right at ease. Excellent communication and dependable.”
“Anna was professional and communicative while coordinating drop-in visits for my two cats. She stopped by a few days before the visit to meet my boys and get in-person instructions for their care. She made sure they were well taken care of and played with, and sent me updates and photos during her check-ins. I appreciate Anna’s help, and would definitely book with her again!”
“Emily was conscientious and made sure all my fur bbs were well cared for & got lots of attention. She sent me pictures of each visit and gave me updates on their antics 💙”
About: I am a professional dog sitter working out of Salt Lake City, Utah. I have worked as a Kennel Technician and Veterinary Assistant for dogs, cats, rabbits, and ferrets and other exotics. I love all animals and am very knowledgeable and caring with them. I decided to go to school to become a vet tech in 2017 in the program at Mountain Edge Veterinary Technology. In that time, I have learned everything from simple restraint and nail trims to anesthesiology and fluid therapy. I left the veterinary field in 2023 to pursue a career in the arts. In my free time I like to play Video Games and dabble in writing. My favorite foods include pizza, steak, and burgers (I make the steak and the burgers myself.) My favorite animal is a well behaved Siberian Husky! I currently work gig jobs, so my schedule tends to change from time to time. The days that I work these jobs are marked as unavailable in my calendar, so rest assured that your pet has 100% of my attention during my days on. I always keep a watchful eye on your pets, whether that be in the yard or in your home. I strive to create a significant level of trust with every animal and client that I work with and am always in constant contact through photos and messages.
About: Here are some things about me: - I more than a decade of experience taking care of dogs big and small, young and old. I love them all! - I am super patient with dogs, and enjoy finding ways to communicate with them. - I am a pretty fast runner, so if your dog needs someone to keep up with during runs, I am your gal! - As a fellow dog mom, I know the importance of being updated throughout the day and I am willing to do so for you as well I work 8-4 with a schedule that allows me to step out to let dogs have a potty break multiple times a day. I am also available most weekends. I have a spacious apartment that has a fenced dog park. I only let pets be with me in the dog park to avoid behavior issues with other pets. I also live close to a trail where I can walk your pet as needed.
About: I grew up in Oahu with all different types of pets in my household. We had dogs, fish, turtles, and tortoises! I love animals and I miss getting to hangout with them! I can’t wait to meet your pet :) I’m a full-time college student up at the U and i’m also working at a swim school!! I also volunteer at the humane society on my days off, i’m super busy but on my downtime I’d love the opportunity to meet your pets! I believe this would go case by case! Not all animals require the same needs, I’d have to chat with the owners (you) and meet the needs required! I’m a hard worker and willing to go the extra mile, so you let me know what needs to get taken care of.

I don't have a lot of time for her, but seeing Andrew's obvious love and enjoyment reciprocated by my dog makes me so happy.

I would tell anyone that Andrew should be their first choice when considering a pet sitter as he will care for their pet as if they were his own. He is amazing!”
Grecia G.
“My family and I tend to go on vacation every now and then, but we always worried about our dogs since they are very precious to us. We met Grecia a couple of years back and, now, we don’t even need to worry about them whenever we’re out of town. Grecia makes sure to follow any sort of instructions provided to her regarding walks and food, etc. Not only that but my dogs really enjoy being in her company and are always happy to be in her care. I sincerely do recommend Grecia as a dog sitter, she truly is the best and one of a kind!”

Hanelle is always the best petsitter! Rabbits can be very shy and sensitive, but my pet bunny has clearly developed a liking for Hanelle and is very comfortable around her. As a pet owner, I am always super happy with Hanelle's communication and attention to detail. It means a lot to me that she is so considerate and trustworthy, and I am so grateful she always provides me peace of mind while I am away from my pet.
we are picky adding new sitters but sophie’s experience with working breeds like ours eased any concerns! she came over for a meet and greet with our dog before doing a drop-in visit. she was communicative before and after the drop-in and attached photos + videos along with a little report on their time together! we will book again :)
