About: I love all the fur babies! I have experience with Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Birds, and Fresh/Saltwater Fish! Please see below for addition information! For dogs: I love doggies! I have two dogs of my own who need constant love and attention. I love playtime and taking them for walks! I’ll be happy to walk the doggies and give them some needed exercise when your schedule becomes busy! For cats: I have a deep love for cats. I have had many cats in my care since I was young. Typically multiple cats at one time! I have experience with kittens from birth - all the way to their end of life. During this time I have become very experienced in providing medication, grooming, end of life care (cleaning those accidents they can’t control) and providing all the love they need! Lovable cats and skittish cats - I love both, so I’ll be happy to check in on them, clean their litter boxes, and make sure they have everything they need while you’re away! Other animals: Please reach out for any additional pet inquiries! I also have experience with other animals including fish, rabbits and birds! I currently work full time, however I have flexibility in my schedule, specifically on weekday afternoons, and available all day on weekends to help with your pets. If you have a specific need - please reach out to me and we can see what the best accommodation is for you and your fur babies! Safety is a top priority for me when it comes to your fur babies. I will follow all requests for the safety of your pet.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own, so caring for dogs is a big part of my everyday life. I especially enjoy working with adult and senior dogs, as well as high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I also have experience with puppies and enjoy reinforcing basic training, boundaries, and good manners throughout the day. I love finding ways to keep dogs mentally engaged through things like lick mats, treat puzzles, sniffing games, and simple enrichment activities. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adapting my care to each dog’s personality and energy level. I’m a full-time college student and also work part-time, but I have a flexible schedule because two of my college classes are online. I’m available for pet care around my school and work schedule, and I’m especially comfortable caring for dogs who enjoy having company and attention throughout the day. My in-person classes are Monday and Wednesday from 9:00 AM–2:30 PM, and I work Tuesday and Thursday from 1:00–8:00 PM and Friday from 8:00 AM–4:00 PM. I plan my bookings around these commitments so I can give each pet the time and attention they need. Safety and trust are very important to me. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions, pay attention to each dog’s individual needs, and make sure doors, gates, food, and anything potentially unsafe are properly secured. I’m especially careful with dogs who are anxious, reactive, very energetic, or still working on training. I believe pets do best when they have consistency, patience, and clear boundaries, so I try to maintain their normal routines as much as possible.

“Natalie is a genuinely good person. She is trustworthy with you pets and home. She cared for 4 cats for me and everything was great. The kitties thank her too for her good TLC.”

About: I am a caretaker! I'm closing my 36 year home based childcare. I LOVE the big puppies. My boy was 140lbs. passed 10/2024. I can be your puppy Grandma! (All dogs are puppies at heart) I have worked from home for over 36 years and plan to keep at home! I am moving from children to dogs. Spending every Summer on my Grandparents farm was heaven, lots of work, done with so much respect for the hours and lifestyle. I moved back to Hidden Valley to care for my parents and raise my kids. They are all gone and I am looking for a new direction, while tending my garden and remodeling. I have never been without a dog (dogs). My children are all in different States so, giving and getting my dog love fix vis sitting is the direction I'm heading as opposed to owning for now! I have always loved my pets more than any couch, so, furniture will be all access. How I will care for your pet will be up to you! 1/2 Acre fully fenced, 110 tree's, small grass area, DG to dig in. 24 years here and all of my dogs (passed) loved it. I have had 36 years of open communication with child parents and I will do the same for puppy parents. We should be cohesive and symbiotic. I left dry food out for my dogs, however, your dog your rules! Hidden Valley dog park is less than a mile from my home. My Livestock Guardian dog did not like the dog park so if yours does not I am totally ok going or not going! The Virginia Range is behind me and easily accessible for short hikes.

About: I have both dogs and cats at home so I am well versed with the effort it takes into caring for your pets. I am currently a kennel technician and doggy daycare attendant so I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I work part time at a pet resort and animal hospital so being around pets has become a huge part of my routine ! I am available to provide pet care in the mornings, after my class or after work, and at night as well ! I’m comfortable with doing drop ins, overnight stays, and dog walking ! I understand that meeting new people can be stressful for our kids so I make sure to always take a gentle approach when introducing myself and being in their living space ! Message me for info about care at my home .

About: Just joined in September! Check out my testimonials. Our best friend left us last year; a 15-year-old golden retriever, and he was my most important experience in training for dog care. I own a car and clean record with drivers license so I can transport dogs to and from parks, or wherever the job takes me. My communication skills are seasoned with both humans and dogs. I do not shy away from reaching out to owners if there is an issue. I believe every dog deserves a pleasant time while their owners are away. This is my commitment to you. I’m opposed to all forms of bigotry and prejudice, and I treat everyone with equal fairness. Thanks for reaching out for a meet and greet; if you choose to do so there will be no pressure to accept the booking. Generally I am up and I am able to start at 6:30am daily. I can generally keep your pet until later into the evening and overnight. Before our first sit, we can do an introduction to establish your pet's comfort zone. Are they high energy? That's good! I like showing pets affection, especially if they're anxious. They can often really use a run, walk, or visit to the dog park, and getting outside is something I enjoy doing with dogs. As a sitter, I see and interpret subtle body language cues that mean "I need space" vs. "I want a quick head scratch". A typical day under my care is predictable, peaceful, and entirely low stress: Feeding, water refreshes, and calm, low-energy relief walks. I speak in a soft voice. I cohabitate quietly. If your pet chooses to sleep under my desk or across the room, I let them be. If they approach for attention, I offer gentle, calm affection. I send one or two brief text updates a day to confirm all is well. While I practice a "light touch" approach, I am highly vigilant. I will reach out if they stop drinking water or eating when they should be, taking issues like this very seriously. Signs of physical distress (pacing, heavy panting, whining, or lethargy). Changes in bathroom habits. Your pet's health is my number one priority. My place will be ready for your loved one: I pet-proof my home room-by-room, anticipating jumping, digging, scratching, chewing, or trash-rummaging, while inspecting my space from a pet's eye level. I maintain eyes on, supervise all toy playtime to prevent swallowing broken pieces. I use a gate to block access to stairs, allowing them to come upstairs when I am going upstairs.

“Ashley was great! Our cats loved her. Would recommend Ashley to others and we hope to use her again in the future ourselves.”

About: I helped my mom take care of 4 boxers growing up which we bought as puppies. I love taking care and watching my friend’s pets. I am also an experienced RN just taking a break from nursing. I will treat your pet as family. I am willing to fit your pet care in to my daily routine. Some times I have trouble waking up in the morning but I am motivated to make money right now. I don’t think having pets in my home would be best. My normal job is RN, moved here from PA, taking some time to collect myself in between jobs and find a travel assignment that works for me. I will treat your pet like it is my family. Thank you for your interest and consideration.

“Sierra was absolutely fantastic! She was very responsive and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She took great care of my cats, Sosa and Sloan, and it was clear they were happy and well cared for. I really appreciated her reliability and communication throughout the entire time. I will definitely be using Sierra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”

About: I’ve taken care of my dogs for the past 4 years I have 2 frenchies . I am very organized and can handle high maintenance doggies. I have also been caring for Rover dogs for almost a year, and it has been a very rewarding experience for both me and my two Frenchies. Through doggy daycare and boarding, they’ve made many wonderful dog friends along the way. I work from home Monday to Friday and have weekends off. So I am available for all day dog care. More details in my calendar. I have a fully fenced yard with multiple designated sections, allowing dogs to go outside safely either together or separately when needed. This setup helps ensure a secure and comfortable environment for dogs who may not get along with others. I am Happy to provide picture updates upon request 😊

“Alaina took great care of our three fuzzballs while we were off on vacation. We appreciated the check-ins with pictures of our pets so much. She communicated very well when questions popped up. We would definitely recommend Alaina.”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life. From a Yorkie to a German shepherd I've been around different sizes Love to go for hikes or walks. Water days are always fun as well. I would like to walk dogs full time. My schedule is pretty open. Nothing after 1700. I'm open to weekends if we talk about it prior. I deal with reactive dogs a lot. If dogs don't know each other I tend to just handle one dog at a time. Some dogs just don't get along with others like people.

About: I have 5+ years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have experience with multiple-pet households, senior pets, and pets with disabilities or special needs, including following medication, feeding, and exercise routines. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide daytime visits throughout the week. I'm happy to work with the pet owner to find times that fit their pet's routine. I am communicative about scheduling or any changes. I do my best to keep pets' routines as consistent as possible. I carefully follow instructions and pay close attention to each pet's comfort level and behavior and will keep you updated about how they're doing during my visits.

About: I've been pet sitting for people for about three years. I have been working as a Veterinary Technician for 5 years. Now that I have my own dog I no longer do overnight stays. Here if walks, drop ins for 1+ hours if needed. I work full time. 7am-5pm 4 days a week. Always have Saturday and Sunday’s off, also usually have Wednesdays off. Willing to do drop ins before/after work if needed. As well as multiple drop ins, walks on my days off. I do have a fur baby of my own now. Her name is Josie, she is a 3 year old black lab. Unfortunately having her I can’t do over night stays. I would also leave her at home for walks with your fur baby and drop ins.

About: I've been the go-to pet sitter since I can remember. From high school to adulthood, I have cared for a range of dogs and cats (along with some smaller critters, too!). I bring a personalized, intentional approach to my care. I want your pet to feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible during your absence! I work remotely, so I have a lot of flexibility day to day. I cannot host animals in my home, but I am happy to come to your space to care for your pet where they are most comfortable. I am also an avid trail runner and hiker, so if you have an active pup that enjoys those sorts of activities (and doesn't mind a leash), I am happy to discuss taking them on short adventures in town. I work part-time and am fully remote, so I have a lot of flexibility day to day. I am happy to spend as much (or as little) time in your space as you and your pet want/need. Though I cannot host pets in my own home currently, I am happy to come to yours to care for your pet! When I am in your space, I always make sure to leave things as I found them. I will ensure your pet is fed, hydrated, comfortable, and adequately exercised — whether that means playing a round of fetch with them in the yard or taking them on a walk.

About: Pets have always been a integral part of my life. Maybe not all my own but those close to me as well. I have cared for many senior animals and also some with special needs. I have volunteered at The Best Friends Sanctuary in Utah-the largest shelter in the US. I work on call and set my own schedule, which provides alot of flexibility. Most of my work is at night and Saturdays. Prepared to drop in twice a day if needed. I'm always attuned to potential dangers in the house/yard and keep tabs on their whereabouts. I offer plenty of stimulation, attention, and walks.

About: Meet our family Hi there! My name is Erin. I'm an animal lover with varied lifelong animal experience including working for a veterinarian, animal training and animal care (for my own furry children as well as others furry family members). My husband Owen and I have three amazing pups in the house currently ranging from 2 to 15 years. Two sweet Aussies pups and then our senior Pappy-Pom who is still quite a sassy boy. I have always been a true dog lover. My mom was somewhat less than thrilled when I began to bring home every stray I could find to make sure that we could find their mom. I grew up reading James Harriot books as well as anything involving dog behavior or training and began training our family dogs before I was even in my teens. My dogs have always been part of the family and that is how I will treat yours! We love spending as much time as we can outdoors in nature or at pet friendly venues with our furry kids (and at the lake when warm enough). My experience administering medication I am experienced with administering medication and have done so for my own animals as well as for patients when I worked at a veterinary clinic. My schedule is somewhat flexible and any animals I care for would be prioritized. (I would not accept a responsibility I could not fulfill. I take animal care very seriously and I would expect that for my own furchildren.) Time I'll spend with your dog Any time your pet is in my care they will have my full attention (and a constant companion if they get along with my own pet).

“Lauren did a great job with our aging Ragdoll cat. She is reliable and caring. We were gone for 8 days and knew our Gracie was in good hands. Thank you Lauren!”
