“Lexi is fantastic. She took time out of her weekend to meet my dog first, considering he doesn’t always love new people. She did a great job and I feel like I can really trust her with him and in my home.”


About: I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I've been alive! I adore getting to be a part of their lives and help take care of them! Animals are family and we take care of family! I've got experience in everything from reptiles to birds, bunnies, cats, dogs, fish. Whatever you need I can do! I am here for your animal! This is my primary focus and what I love to do, so I can be available anytime you need me! I have a house and fenced yard, I have one dog and cats that are contained to separate parts of the house, unless your furry baby would like company then my animals are the sweetest loving things in the world! I am open to anything and anyone being able to come into my home and being able to go to other people's homes is always an option!

About: Animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember. I’m a proud animal owner. I have three wonderful cats. I’ve fostered, sat for, and loved many animals over the years—including cats and dogs both young and old. I truly understand the bond we share with our pets. As an experienced foster caregiver and seasoned sitter (from age 12), I know how hard it is to leave your animals behind—and how important it is to trust the person caring for them. Whether it’s dogs or cats, playtime or meds, cuddles or cleanup, I treat every animal like family. You can count on me for reliable care and a clean, happy space every time. I don’t work outside the home—I’m a full-time homemaker, mom (my son is 14 and loves animals too!), wife and part time student. Balancing these roles has made me highly organized and dependable. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent, thoughtful care to pets. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy the companionship, purpose, and joy animals bring to my life. In our home, pet care is rooted in love, health, and safety. I follow strict routines for my own cats, including special diets, vet guided feeding schedules, medication for asthma & hyperthyroidism. I do this because I want them to live long, happy lives—and I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. I’m happy to follow your pet’s unique routine, dietary needs, or medical instructions. You’ll receive regular photo updates, clean water every day and litter/potty care, and check-ins based on your preferences. While I (Sarah) am the primary caregiver, my partner Dareld is a verified sitter and can step in if needed to ensure your pet is always safe and cared for.

“Kara has been acquainted with my rambunctious German Shepherd for over a year and I have never had to worry! Her walking reports are thorough and her communication with me about availability, schedule adjustments, and any other questions has been top-notch. I trust her completely with my pet and you should too!”


About: My whole life, I've been taking care of animals. Whether they have fur, scales, feathers, or shells, I have both owned and took care of a variety of animals. My fur, feathers, and scales family consists of 2 dogs, 4 birds, and 4 lizards. A Blue Heeler, a Pitbull, 3 bearded dragons, 1 gargoyle gecko, and 4 cockateils. It's a whole zoo, but I embrace the chaos. Feedings, cleanings, and all around playtime happens everyday. Vacuuming feathers and bird seed, feeding the animals in the mornings and refreshing their feed at night, walking the dogs (and sometimes the birds and lizards) can be crazy to keep up with, but I love it. I do have 2 dogs of my own, and a lot of creatures in my care. I can, however, offer to crate any dog if needed, or even take them on walks to calm down or just get peace during their stay or visit. I love playing with animals, and for those who aren't as up to being wild, I love cuddling too.

“Hettie is wonderfully kind, sweet, timely, trustworthy, and the list goes on! We are so thankful we could leave town without worry that our furry child would be neglected. On short notice, and planned trips we will always request Hettie to care for our sweet boy! Thank you!!”


About: I have been watching dogs for around 6 years and have been reliable to many clients to take the best care of their animals. I usually walk the animals along with spending the night if needed and will spend long hours with the pets. I currently am a full time student at Weber so in the evenings I have a lot of free time. I don’t have any set times or days so I can work around schedules pretty easily. I have a fenced backyard and a doggy door so my dogs can roam around freely as they please. I take one of my dogs on walks and the other one I play fetch with to make sure they get exercise they need.

“Kiersten is ALWAYS awesome! She’s always able to work with my schedule and has been great to work with with my puppy since the very beginning. She’s intuitive and adjusts well to situations like sick dogs.”



About: As a mom of four, I’m naturally patient, nurturing, and highly attentive to the needs of both kids and pets! I treat every animal like part of the family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for whether it’s a quick drop in or an overnight stay. I have experience with a wide range of pets, including puppies who need structure and gentle training, as well as senior dogs who require extra care and comfort. I’m also comfortable with administering medications, sticking to feeding routines, and providing calm companionship for pets with separation anxiety. My schedule is flexible, and since I work from home, your pet will rarely be left alone. You can count on frequent updates, lots of affection, and a safe, clean environment. As a work-from-home mom, I’m home most of the day, which allows me to give pets consistent care and attention. Walks, playtime, and check-ins easily fit into my daily routine, and my kids love being gentle helpers too! I can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs and make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep things familiar and stress free whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or cuddle time. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own space, and I always leave your home tidy and respected. You can expect regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away.

“She was super patient with her which was perfect because our pup gets nervous or just won’t walk she took the time and patience to get her to come out and be more confident will be booking with her again”


About: I do happen to work in a duo with my lovely sister! We both have taken good care of our own dogs ever since we were kids! We’re happy to give that extra love and care pets need especially when life gets too busy! Since there are two of us, your pet is guaranteed to have excellent care even if an emergency comes up! We are very flexible with our schedule and can fit whatever works best with you! We would prefer a meeting prior to care if possible just to make sure your pet is comfortable. I’ve got lots of free time and with that said, I’ll be able to give my undivided attention to your fur baby! We are usually available on weekdays and anytime before 3 pm on weekends We do have a fenced yard along with 2 dogs that can keep your fur baby company! We are very home friendly with pets and do allow them on the furniture to get comfortable and cozy! We also have many toys for your pet to play with and comfy dog beds in case they would like to lay down and rest a bit!

About: My entire family and I are dog lovers! We have our own dog, Dixie, who is a 22 lb. female mutt. I enjoy talking to dogs and giving them lots of love. But I'm not exclusively providing care for dogs...I do enjoy working with cats as well! I live in northern Davis county and am willing to extend to Weber county and southern Davis county, if the distance is reasonable. I am willing to travel farther than stated on my profile, providing extra is charged for rising gas prices. My husband is retired military, so I do have base access and can provide care for those who live on base. Please list all the animals you want me to give care for, regardless of the price. I usually customize prices that owners can be happy with. I work part-time online, so I generally have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate your needs, including weekends. We can work together to make it work! While I'm visiting dogs, I spend time with them beyond the basic care. I spend time petting them and talking to them. If they enjoy playing ball, I will also spend time with them doing that. When walking dogs, I will walk them for the time you specify and make sure to clean up after them. For all types of services, I always check their water before leaving, bring in any packages or mail that has been delivered, and make doubly sure all doors are secure.

About: Been taking care of dogs since childhood. We’ve even bred our own dog and raised and trained puppies. I’ve also been dog sitting for neighbors for many years and my dog loves when we have visitors! I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m usually home to care for all pets throughout the day. I also have a bernedoodle who would love to keep your pup company if I have to leave. I have a fenced yard, and lots of room for pups to run and play! I also kennel train all our dogs, if you’d like to send your pet with their kennel.

About: I’ve cared for many animals over 10 + yrs including my own, family, friends & neighbors. I have experience with dogs, cats even some farm animals. Very attentive and reliable care for your pets while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, so I am home most of the week & free time to care for pets most week days & weekends. My schedule is very flexible. I have a big fenced in yard and friendly animals of my own that are very good with other animals & have animals inside our home or can crate if needed.
