About: After having three dogs for many years, I am an expert at walking more than one--with expandable leashes, it's like flying three kites at once! In addition to long (or short) walks, I also like snuggling with pups on the couch. I currently have one 20-pound pup who gets along with almost all other dogs and loves having guests. For boarding and daycare, a meet and greet is a must. I have a very flexible work schedule and I mostly work from my home. I love taking frequent walks and petting dogs throughout the workday. I do not have a yard but like taking walks at all times of day, so your pup can still get plenty of exercise. I am familiar with senior dog care and am comfortable giving pills, following special diets, etc.

“She took care of our pup so well and played with him. So thankful we found Jennifer! She was very responsive and friendly. Definitely will have her back!”

“Laurie was great with our dog. She was very attentive and made sure to keep us informed of everything that was going on during her visit visits. I would definitely use her again. Our dog is very timid and scared and she did everything she could to make sure he was comfortable while we were gone.”

“Jesus has watched my fur babies twice now, and I know my babies are always safe with him! He’s very communicative and kind. Will absolutely ask for his help again when we travel!”

About: It’s my goal to provide the pets under my watch with the best care possible. It’s important to me that my clients have peace of mind concerning their pets so that they can enjoy their vacation or business trip worry free. I message, send pictures, and provide videos often towards that goal. I gladly give their pups all the love and attention they want. Truthfully, I just love dogs and love their company. I’ve had dogs and all sorts of other pets my whole life. They will get plenty of attention from me and my wife since We are retired and typically home all day and night every day. Currently I have no dog of my own and one reason I do this is because I enjoy their companionship. I also do not care for dogs from other families at the same time. So, your pup or pups will be getting our full attention without worry of conflict with another animal. I have a high concrete block fence all the way around the grass back yard where we go out often for fresh air, play, and potty. Them potty, not me. I keep your pet indoors with me mostly but give them potty breaks and play time often during the day and night. I do not leave them alone outside. And if we go for a walk or to the park, they will always be on their leash and we avoid other animals which may be out. We tend to be tranquil low energy home bodies. So a pet with a lot of energy or one that needs daily walks and exercise may not be a good fit. Since I am retired, I will be with your pup pretty much 24/7. My wife will be helping me as well so it’s highly unlikely we would ever leave them alone. If we do need to run a quick errand and we can take them with us, we usually will. It’s my priority to provide your pup(s) with a happy, safe, and healthy experience. It is only my wife and I so my home is quiet and calm. I have a grass yard for play and potty breaks. There is a high brick fence around the yard. There’s not much in the house for them to get in trouble over. The floors are easy to clean in case of accidents. Between visits I thoroughly clean and disinfect the floors, furniture, rugs, patio, and even the yard with animal safe solutions to insure the health of your pets.

About: I grew up around dogs and horses. I love animals and getting outside. I am very attentive to the needs of pets and love working with special needs pets. I currently work at Stone Age Climbing Gym and am building a business in yoga and movement practice. I am flexible and love getting pets out during the day and hours that make it convenient for my clients. I offer whatever services are in need for a given pet and person and work with my clients to develop a plan of what that looks like. I send check ins and other updates to make you feel more comfortable.

About: A little about me: I’ve had a dog by my side every day since I was six years old — dogs are an integral part of my life, not just something I do on the side. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of every size, age, and temperament, from tiny lap dogs to a 90-pound Labrador, and from bouncy puppies to dogs in their older years. Experience: My deepest experience is with senior and special-needs dogs. My Labrador had a series of health challenges, including three separate leg surgeries. I nursed him through every recovery, which meant walking him with a support sling until he was back on his feet. When he was later diagnosed with cancer, I cared for him through hospice at home — giving his daily medications and keeping him comfortable and loved right to the end. So if your older dog needs medication, a little mobility help, or just extra patience and gentleness, that’s something I genuinely know how to do. I’m just as comfortable with high-energy dogs. That same Labrador was a handful in his younger years, so I know what it takes to keep a strong, active dog happy and well-exercised. I also love puppies and understand the patience and consistency they need. I’m happy to walk more than one dog at a time, and I have experience with leash-reactive dogs — I know how to keep walks calm, controlled, and low-stress for a dog who needs a little extra management. Right now I share my home with two girls — a 15-year-old Chihuahua mix and a 2-year-old Cairn Terrier — so both ends of the age spectrum are part of my daily routine. Before them I’ve cared for several terriers and a Border Collie mix, among others. I walk my own dogs every single day and I’ll keep yours on a good routine too. I’ve also dog-sat for family and friends who were thrilled with the care I provided — beyond looking after their dogs, I kept their homes tidy, watered plants, and brought in mail, treating each home with the same respect I’d give my own. Services: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting: • Dog walking — I keep dogs safely leashed and give them a proper outing with a good sniff, steady exercise, and a potty break, adjusting the length and pace sensibly for the weather. • Drop-in visits — I come to your home to feed, refresh water, handle potty breaks, play, and give plenty of affection, plus tidy up any little messes before I head out. • House sitting — I stay overnight in your home and keep your dog’s whole world running on schedule (feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and steady company) while also looking after your place by keeping it tidy, bringing in the mail, and watering plants. Availability: I work from home and set my own hours, so I’m around for your dog far more than the average sitter — and I can be flexible to fit your schedule. Pet care is the center of my day, not an afterthought, which means real time and attention whether it’s a midday walk, an unhurried drop-in, or being present in your home throughout the day on an overnight stay. The only exception is the occasional family commitment, which I always know about well in advance, so I can be upfront about my availability every single time. Peace of mind: Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’m always happy to send photo and video updates so you can see your pup having a good time, and I’ll check in as often as you’d like while you’re away. And should anything ever go wrong, I’m able to drive your dog to the vet in an emergency — so you can travel with real peace of mind. Pet care is the center of my daily routine. I work from home, my schedule is very open and flexible, so I can build my day around your dog's needs rather than squeezing them in. The only exception is the occasional family commitment I schedule around, and because those are always planned well in advance, I'll always know my availability far ahead of time and can be upfront with you about it. To give you a sense of how I run a day: my own dogs eat at 8am and 6pm, get a 20–40 minute walk in the evening, and I stay attentive throughout the day to when they need to go out. My younger dog gets dedicated playtime with her toys, and my senior girl gets her medication right on schedule every other day. I keep that same consistency and attention for any dog in my care — sticking to your dog's normal feeding, walking, medication, and potty routine so their world stays steady while you're away. When I care for your dog in your home, safety comes first. I keep all doors and gates closed and latched, and I'm constantly aware of where your dog is — especially any time I'm heading in or out, so there's no chance of an escape. I follow whatever house rules and routines you set. I also treat your home with the same respect I give my own. When I dog-sat for family and friends, I kept their house tidy, watered their plants, and brought in mail while they were away. I will leave your home just as you left it, keep you updated with photos while you're gone, and communicate quickly about anything that comes up. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a house in good order.

“Tessa was awesome and so attentive. She sent lots of great pics of Gidget and took great care of her. We had a snag in our travel plans and came back a day later and she was very flexible and communicative and made it easy to add a day to her scheduled visits. I will definitely request her next time we go out of town!”

Erin P.

“Such an amazing person to work with! Super dependable, great communication, goes above and beyond in every way imaginable. We had an emergency with my cat and Joy was amazing. She was communicating through every step and handled the situation easily. 100% would recommend!”

Bailey P.

“Jessica was great with my older Saint Bernard. She put my girl at ease and updated me on their visit including pictures. My Saint was calm and happy when I returned home. Thanks Jessica!”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have had two registered therapy dogs and have house sat for numerous families. I love all dogs and just want them to be cared for whi families enjoy their time away I’m retired so I have an open schedule and am free for days or weeks depending on your needs. I can housework or host. Just let me know anytime I have a gated yard as well as doggie door access and don’t really crate animals. I let them run free in the house unless otherwise specified

“Alexandra was awesome! She went the extra mile and gave us a piece of mind while we were away from our fur babies. One of our dogs became I’ll and she gave her so much TLC! She also took extra care with our house while we were gone! I highly recommend using Alexander for taking care of your pets when your away!”

About: I’ve lived with and cared for dogs all my life. In fact, my mother used to throw fits when she'd wake to find that I'd snuck out of my room at night to sleep in the dog house with the hounds! Having shared my home with more than 30 dogs of my own, I have fostered close more than 50, most recently senior, special needs, and medically fragile dogs. I also transport rescue dogs once a month from Texas to Utah. If you have dogs with special needs, medical issues, or healthy dogs, I'll take care of them with skill, patience, and love. Boarding or Day Care: While I'm happy to take all dogs over 25 lbs, I have an affinity for large, XL, and giant dogs. My home has XXL dog doors, dog beds, and 3 acres of fenced yard.

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, from Yorkies to German Shepherds. Providing the love and care to other dogs while you’re away is my priority! To give you the peace of mind your fur baby is both physically and mentally stimulated during our time together. I am very active, love going on hikes and finding new parks in the area! I am in the end of my surgical residency making my schedule relatively flexible. While I am unable to have a dog of my own full time, I can care and love for others in the mean time! While I do live in an apartment, there is a park with walking trails right across the street that I walk daily. Staying active is an essential part of my life!

“Kathy is amazing!!! VERY good, highly recommend!”

About: Updated 7/26. I have a great amount of experience with dogs & many animals. I have been taking care of mostly dogs for 9 years now. I have experience with horses and cows as well. I professionally boarded dogs in my past homes in Hawaii and Washington, d.c. I made bonds with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, & genders. I always adapt to each dog as they are unique. I am always striving to make them as comfy & stress free as possible in my care. I also enjoy living an active lifestyle & seeing a dogs smile while on a walk adds to my day. I like to make dogs feel as though they are on vacation, yet I enforce what my clients do in their own homes to maintain. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make our experience better. I look forward to connecting with you & your pet! If we are not able to do a Meet & Greet... I understand last minute things come up. If there is a time where we are not able to meet, I will ask questions about your animal through Rover. I am comfortable asking questions & you answering them honestly over message before drop off. We can also Facetime or Zoom if you would like to and/or prefer. I do work full time alongside taking care of pets. I am willing to help and accommodate when possible. Message to discuss details. Thank you! I take care of any and all pets as if they are my own. Animals are the most innocent and loving beings that deserve the world for their short lived lives.
