House Sitting in Strawberry

“Emily was AMAZING with my 3 pets. We have two huge dogs (mastiffs) and a skittish cat and she handled taking care of them perfectly. Our cat runs away and hisses at any strangers, but she warmed right up to Emily. My dogs also love her since she gave them so much affection and attention. She kept us updated throughout our trip, and she also cleaned our house and left it looking better than before we left for our trip. Emily rocks!”

“Wow!! Jennifer is the best house/dog sitter I have ever used. She messaged us with pics and videos of Molly (our dog) once or twice every day and let us know how she was doing. I could see that she paid a lot of attention to Molly. Molly is a little older and recently had a seizure so she takes a couple medications twice a day, which was no issue for Jennifer. When we got home, Molly seemed very relaxed like she had a great week. The house was immaculate, and the sheets she used were washed and waiting for us in the dryer even though we didn't expect that. I'm really impressed and I'm not easily impressed. Thank you Jennifer and Molly thanks you too!!!!”

Showing up on time always with a smile on their face! 10 stars and finally the piece of mind that I didn’t have to worry about my baby while I was away for two nights. 10 stars!! Thank you Gary and April!”

“It was great to know my dog was well taken care of and that even though I was from out of town, I found someone so trustworthy! Morgan stayed at my house for a few nights and left the house spotless! If you are in Sedona for a short time and don’t want your dog to bake in the sun, know that Morgan will take great care of your dog!”

“Great experience with Zack housesitting our dogs. Kya and Enzo had a great time and Zack provided frequent updates with pictures. We would absolutely have him watch our dogs again.”

About: I have owned almost every animal you could possibly think of and am very knowledgeable in caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish! I am a stay at home mom so I am free almost all day every day! I am super flexible a willing to make what works best for you possible!

“Becky was perfect for our puppy. She was flexible and cared for her as she was her own. She was easy to communicate with and Roxy just adores her.”

About: I have been passionate about animals since early childhood. My experience spans domestic pets, exotic animals, farm animals, and service dog training. Below is an overview of my lifelong work with animals: Early Childhood & Domestic Pets: -Began caring for animals at age 5 with three cats and my first dog (a Maltese) at age 8. -Personally responsible for training and caring for my dog from a young age. -Attended weekly dog obedience classes as the only child—my dog was often the most well-trained in class! -Raised and trained multiple dogs growing up, including Maltese and Border Collies. -As an adult, I have lived with and trained various breeds including Border Collies, Siberian Huskies, Dachshunds, and many toy dog mixes. Exotic Animals & Wildlife: -Became a licensed falconer at age 20; trapped and trained wild falcons for hunting. -Worked professionally with macaws, parrots, cockatoos, a raven, owls, hawks, eagles, falcons, homing pigeons, and trained rats. -Performed with and trained birds and other animals at Utah Hogle Zoo’s World of Flight bird show. -Owned and cared for freshwater aquariums, hermit crabs, and an axolotl salamander named Gary. Volunteer Work & Ranch Life: -Volunteered at the Ogden Nature Center, caring for tortoises, snakes, tarantulas, sea birds, and birds of prey. -Grew up on a ranch caring for over 20 chickens, 20 rabbits, 3 horses, 7 cats, a dog, and 3 cows. -Frequently served as a trusted house-sitter for friends’ and neighbors’ farms. -Experienced in horse husbandry and enjoy working with all farm animals. Service Dog Training: -Personally trained my Border Collie, Maki, as a certified service dog through a professional 6-month training program under the direct supervision of a certified handler at Ty The Dog Guy. -Received hands-on education in service animal training protocols, behavior management, and handler skills. -Maki now accompanies me as a fully trained service dog, with experience traveling and performing under high-pressure conditions. As a full-time indie author, I can take my work anywhere and have a highly flexible schedule. I teach one class a week at a local Sedona yoga studio and work part-time at a crystal boutique. Outside of those brief commitments, I’m home writing, reading, or happily spending time with animals. If I’m ever away from your home, it won’t be for more than 5–6 hours at a time. For pets that need specialty care—like puppies, senior dogs, or animals with specific routines—I can easily rearrange my day to be fully present and attentive. You let me know your pet’s schedule, and I’ll make it happen. I offer in-home pet sitting to keep your animals comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. My care style is attentive and proactive—I follow your pet’s routines for feeding, exercise, playtime, and snuggles while ensuring their space stays safe and clean. I’m excellent at puppy-proofing and making sure curious pets stay out of harm’s way. With over two decades of animal care experience, I’m confident in recognizing early signs of discomfort or distress. I have basic dog first aid knowledge, so I’m prepared to handle minor injuries or emergencies calmly and effectively. My goal is always to give your pets the same love, attention, and structure they’re used to, so they feel secure while you’re away.

“It’s not easy to look after 4 dogs but Peggy breezed through her stay & let us enjoy our time away from home with full confidence that everything was being well handled”

“Marissa is such an awesome sitter for our 3 dogs (2 poodles and 1 Maltese). We did a video call and then she did house sitting while we were in a trip. Everything was clean and the dogs were happy when we arrived back from our trip 😊”

About: I’m excited to care for your beloved pet while you’re away. I understand that pets are like children and I promise to be a responsible and loving substitute pet parent. I am caring and knowledgeable about animals' needs and behaviors. I work from home and have the time to walk and play with your pet as often as needed. I have one adult college child at home and no pets. I look forward to spoiling them as if they were my own. I live in a big neighborhood with a dog park and lots of hiking trails and paved sidewalks. I also have a house with a fenced yard. I do not have any pets of my own at this time so your pet would be my sole responsibility.

“Tee was awesome with the boys! We love her! She has a great positive personality and sense of humor. She was safety focused and very conscientious. Phantom is a special needs dog, he cannot hear and has limited sight. AND just before leaving we found out he had something like dog lice (wow). Tee continued the routine of separate bedding and leashes and things to keep Oliver from picking up what Phantom was dealing with. She combed and bathed both etc. She did this with a smile and alet’s do it attitude. I could see in the pictures and videos that both of our little men were being loved on. We could really enjoy our trip! We would highly recommend Tee to you and your four legged child/children.”

Most importantly she took great care of our baby and we were able to feel at ease! Christi clearly loves animals and our dog instantly bonded with her. Thank you so much Christi!”

About: Hi, my name is Kelly, and my husband, Dahl, and I will both be primary dog watchers. I work from home full-time, and he works from home part time. Our young girls, Lily and Rosie, will also be interacting with your dogs on a regular basis. They are sweet, calm girls who love dogs and do very well with them. We are flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, since I work from home, so someone is here almost all of the time. We have watched many dogs for friends over the years, and this seemed like a great way to expand on that. I love dogs, and my favorite dog- sitting experience was when my neighbor needed someone to watch her puppy during the day while she worked. I picked him up in the morning and dropped him off at night. I helped train him and just loved on him all day. I was a second mom to him, and we still get very excited to see each other. I often watch him when his parents are out of town now. My husband had a dog for 9 years growing up, and also loves dogs. We are so excited to meet your fur-babies!! I work full-time from home so we will be available to care for your pets day and night. We have a fenced off backyard with an entire section dedicated to the dogs we watch. We have a fenced in backyard with a fenced in pool and often walk around our neighborhood and to the local park. We can watch dogs from multiple families at a time as long as the families approve and both dogs are good with other dogs. We do this on a case by case basis.

About: I grew up in a family always having animals like dogs, cats,pigs, horses, sheep, goats, I love all animals and would love to spend time with yours I can do this full time or part time depends on you I'm just here to help but usually I am available every day after 12 pm unless paid to come earlier I cannot bring your animals to my home but I am more than glad to come to your home and take care and hangout with your animal(s)

“Holly was amazing felt completely comfortable leaving her to stay at my house and stay with the dogs while we were gone! Will definitely be using her again!”
