“Samantha has been amazing! She was so thoughtful and sweet and sent me updates about my pup. My little day can be kinda shy when left alone but Samantha has been so caring! We will have her come stay every time she is available! Totally recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of all dogs including seniors and puppies throughout my whole life. Many family members have trusted me with their dogs while they are out of town and I always love getting to spend quality time with their pets and comforting them while they’re missing their humans. I also had cats and kittens for a brief time when I was younger and I absolutely loved them! Each animal is unique and I love getting to know them! I have always felt a deep connection to all animals and recently earned a degree to work in wildlife conservation to help as many animals as I can! I just moved to the SLC area and would love to find new clients in the area! I’m currently working at a coffee shop 3 mornings a week and am completely available any other times :) I will do exactly as you ask of me to make sure you and your pet are comfortable! I will always prioritize the safety of the animals.
About: We have had dogs in our home our entire life. They are always a family member and treated with the best of love and care. I come from a family of breeders and a hunting and show dogs. Our seniors are loved and cared for savoring every last day. We have a ranch with plenty of room for your fur baby to run and explore as well as a huge dog run. We offer different places to keep them safe if running off leash is not the best for your baby. I am a self-employed realtor, who works from home. My husband is a rancher and contractor so one of us is typically home there are times of course when we leave but everybody is locked up safe and sound and they are also welcome to take the car ride with us should we need to run some errands. if it’s important that nobody ever leaves your baby, we can make that accommodation as well. We have a 12 x 24 kennel with multiple dog houses we have kennels of different sizes. We also have a barn with 12 x 12 stalls. We have a fenced in deck that is 30 x 50 so there are many opportunities for your baby to be outside in the fresh air And still be safe. If your dog is an inside dog, we will keep him inside with us and he will be warm and cozy at bedtime.
About: There is no furry friend that I do no enjoy being around! I've had the opportunity to love and care for many different animals since I was very young. The last couple years I have fostered kittens and have been able to see more than 20 beautiful babies go to their furrever homes! I have owned, and taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes my entire life. I am able to give medication through injections, and am not shy with training either! My dream is to one day run an animal sanctuary for hurt and endangered animals. Sunday- Saturday 8am- 8pm I have an open schedule and would love to spend it with your animals! Don't hesitate to message me. I can work with whatever plans needed. I offer house sitting/pet sitting and dog walking. For both services I will be going to your home to either care for animals, or pick them up for a walk around your neighborhood. I look forward to seeing the next animal as it is always a special experience.
About: Lifelong pet owner/lover. I've had dogs and cats since before I can remember and have experience in house sitting and pet care. I also have basic training skills with dogs. I love taking care of animals with my whole heart and can bond/adapt to animals needs very well. I currently work a part time job where my hours are usually 6-8 hours a couple days a week so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I currently cannot board animals in my own home, but I can easily adapt to how you take care of your fur babies in your own home. I treat them as my own and want them to be as comfortable and happy as possible while their family away.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for a few years now, whether it’s for family friends or my old teachers, I love getting to spend time with animals! Each pet has something unique and lovely to offer 🫶🏼 I currently work part-time and go to college, so I have Wednesdays and Fridays free to myself! I’m very active and love to take walks, and enjoy being with pets, so I might as well mesh the two! I love to follow directions/lists, so I typically do whatever the owner normally does! It depends of course, but I’m very flexible and fine doing anything. :)

“Phenomenal and absolutely caring. My cat looovvved Terri. Terri's care and communication made me feel completely at ease. Her passion for animals goes way beyond. Would absolutely hire again.”

About: My love for animals is the passion of my whole life. However, my lifestyle as an IT developer involves constant travel, and I don't keep a pet so as not to put it under stress. That is why I offer a unique service — looking after your pet in his native home. My work is remote, which allows me to combine two tasks: to provide your pet with care and attention in a familiar environment and at the same time work on my projects in a comfortable environment. I am not just a pet sitter, but a responsible animal lover who values their comfort and safety. As a freelance IT startup developer, I have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available for pet care at any time from Monday to Friday, as well as on weekends. I can easily accommodate long walks and dedicate plenty of time to your pet throughout the day I exclusively provide services in the client's home, as this ensures your pet feels as comfortable and secure as possible in their own environment. I strictly follow all owner instructions regarding feeding schedules, walking routines, and daily habits. I guarantee your home will remain in perfect order. In the event of an emergency, I will immediately contact you and your veterinarian using the provided information
About: I’ve had cats and dogs all my life, from puppy/kittens to seniors. Friends and family rely on my to watch over their fur love ones. Special diets, outdoor times, or medications, nothing to big or small, your pets are in good hands 🥰 I currently have an open schedule and will have plenty of time to hangout/go on walks/play with your pets while your away, if it just a check in while your at work, or a home stay for the week while your away. Your animals safely and heath is my many concern, to try and make your pet feel most comfortable at your house while you are away. I will always make sure house is locked up, and your littles are where they belong (ex. indoor/outdoor only, crated).
“Joshua was great! Everything was well taken care of according to plan. He is super polite, nice, and trustworthy. I will definitely be asking him back to care for my little buddies.”
“Jane has been super dependable!! She is very loving toward my dog and cares very much about his well being and his enjoyment of their encounter. I really appreciate that she keeps me updated as to what’s going on, which makes me feel so much better about leaving my beloved in someone’s else’s care.”
About: Your pups new bestie! I have had animals most of my life growing up since childhood and was raised with how to properly care for them. I also have a dog that I love so much! I thoroughly enjoy walks, runs, hikes, and playing with him. I am a big dog person! I currently work part time and am home most of the time. I’m usually home a lot as most of my work can be done from home. The flexibility is very nice and works perfectly with having dogs in our home! We currently have our own dog and so caring for yours will fit naturally into the flow we already have going! I have a fenced yard, where my pup and yours can play as much as they want! We have trails and parks near by for walks and runs, if you’d like for your pup to have exercise in those ways as well.
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, and a wide variety of animals. That background allows me to confidently care for pets of all temperaments—from high-energy dogs to those that need extra patience and structure. My home sits on 11 acres, giving dogs plenty of safe space to explore and get real exercise not just short walks. I also live a very active lifestyle and make sure every dog gets the movement, playtime, and attention they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet won’t just be ‘watched’—they’ll be cared for, exercised, and treated like part of the family. I provide a clean, safe, smoke-free home and send regular updates so you always have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m available every day after 2:30 PM and fully available on weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, allowing me to give consistent attention, exercise, and supervision. I prioritize reliability, so your pet’s schedule stays consistent and stress-free while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment on a peaceful 11-acre property. Pets always have plenty of space to explore while remaining supervised. I follow each owner’s specific instructions closely, including feeding, routines, and any special needs. I can crate if requested and ensure all animals are separated when needed for safety and comfort.
About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs, fish, and especially cats! I have training from the SPCA on dog walking, cat care, and some skill/behavioral training for both cats and dogs. I have 3 years of fish keeping experience. I currently have my own cat (he’s orange!) and I am fostering a mother and her kitten for the time being. I am willing to help clean around the house as well! I have indoor/outdoor plants and I can take care of your plants while you are away - I have a green thumb :) I’ve helped friends and clients with farm animals, including feeding and cleaning their spaces. If directed I can help with other farm projects. I am looking to take on as many hours as possible! I am currently in college, but only have classes Monday and Wednesday and can work around my school schedule. I am unable to bring pets home due to having my own cat and living in an apartment with a single pet deposit! But I am just fine coming to you! I offer dog walking, some behavioral training while pet sitting/walking, in home pet sitting, and I can do small cleaning projects for a minimal extra charge. I am gentle with the animals and can do grooming such as brushing and can try nail clipping if your pets allow it!
