“Allison pet sit our two cats and two dogs. She did a fantastic job! She made sure to confirm how often we would like updates on the pets, and what form we would like (photos of course). She also made a point of verbally confirming the details of both the booking and the care of all our girls-which saved us from a mistake with the booking on our end 😅. I appreciated that she engaged with them and gave them the playtime/cuddles that they were used to. Can't wait to bring my girls' new friend back!”

About: I’ve had my own dog for 5 years and have loved taking care of anybody’s dogs at any point I can! I have loved dogs since I knew how to walk and love meeting all different kinds of puppies! I’m currently working two part time jobs but I’m in college away from home in need of some extra cash! I will try and make whatever schedule work! I live in a student living apartment building for the next few months so I will only be able to take care of pets at your home unfortunately :(

“Hailey was great with our three big dogs! We felt super comfortable having her stay, very communicative, and was able to house sit last minute. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Jessica took wonderful care of our Aussie and our home while we were away. She was communicative, reliable, and gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a house that was just as we left it. We’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. 🐾”
About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 8 years. Friends, family and neighbors, plus others have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every animal like family. I'm patient, dependable, and passionate about creating a positive experience for both pets and owners I am home most of the time and have a flexible schedule, so pets get lots of attention and care. On weekdays when I work dogs are safely kenneled for a short time until I return home. Weekends are usually completely open for play time, cuddles and supervision. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and routine while pets are in my care. Dogs can be kenneled safely if needed and when Im home they'll receive plenty of attention, playtime, love, and supervision in a calm, caring environment.
“Brianna was great! She was very kind to my old sweet dogs. She was flexible and came a bit earlier than I initially stated and she left everything very tidy. We will definitely ask her to come help with our dogs again”

Brenda is amazing with my sweet fur baby and we have used her several times so far. She has excellent communication skills and fills me in on everything. This last time she housesat since we were gone for a week and we came home to a sparkling clean home. That was on top of a very happy pup. She followed all of my directions and left a written note about everything that occurred while I was gone. I can’t rave about Brenda enough. I have complete confidence that my sweet baby will be loved while I am away.
Jessica is truly the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. While living in St. George, UT, she quickly became our trusted sitter — the only one we wanted to use — and cared for our two dogs and two cats many times. She’s incredibly reliable, flexible, and always goes above and beyond to make sure our pets and home are well cared for. Our pets absolutely loved her, and it was clear they felt comfortable and happy in her care. She kept us updated, followed routines perfectly, and gave each animal the attention they needed. On top of that, she was always respectful of our home, leaving everything in great condition. We can’t recommend Jessica enough! If you’re looking for someone you can trust completely with both your pets and your home, Jessica is the one.
