Personalized care for your dog or cat - Glendale

“Barbara is amazing. She was looking after my dogs for a couple days and one of my dog Zane has separation anxiety issues. The dogs looked very happy the first day when I picked them up, and the next day as I was dropping them off Zane ran inside her house, something he has never done before. They had a fun time with Barbara, and she is very nice to work with. I’ll highly recommend her.”

“They treated my fur babies very good. We had a few special requests and they were very accommodating. I would definitely recommend and use their services again.”

About: Hello, I’m Sam! I offer pet care in the Kanab area of Utah! I’ve been petsitting and dog walking on and off for about 17 years and have experience with all sorts of animals. I’ve also been working in Dogtown at Best Friends for about a year and a half now. I have four herdy dogs of my own plus three cats and two horses- a full house. But there’s always room for a guest or two. I’m a big believer in doing what the animal likes best- whether that be hanging out sunbathing, watching tv on the couch, playing with toys, going for a walk or training for some treats. I’m familiar with all breeds, temperaments, sizes and energy levels. I can also give meds if needed and most other special requests. Traveling with your pets? As long as they're friendly, I don’t require a meet and greet! For boarding and daycare guests: I have a spare, cozy guest room set up for dog guests they can stay in, plus access to the rest of my house while I'm around. They will likely only interact with one of my dogs, but will have to be ok with cats. They will only see children if the kids are out in the yard. My yard is technically fenced in, but 3 of my dogs don’t follow the rules, so I’ll probably keep guests on a leash. I’m a dog care specialist at Best Friends so I am pretty busy up there, but can stop in before or after work, as well as on my lunch break if needed! My days off are Tuesday and Wednesday, so I’m available anytime during those days and can even take your pup(s) out for a longer hike! Weather dependent, of course. I care for your pets like they’re my own! I like to keep things fun, do what they like to do, and give them a positive experience.

“Liz was absolutely wonderful! We had a last minute trip to Zion and really wanted to hike the narrows but be respectful of hotel rules re leaving dogs in the room. However, we recently had someone bring an aggressive dog to our home, which has or may have altered how our big male views other dogs. Not wanting to chance it, Liz agreed to meet us the day before and, of course, everything was fine. The dogs were happy, we were able hike the Narrows without worrying. She sent pictures and was just super. Great communication! She is also conveniently located in town and has a separate room and fenced yard where our pups could be kept if they didn’t get along well. **this was also our first time using Rover. Will use it again!”

“Darlene and Steve were so friendly and took great care of our puppy Charlie. It was so great to know he was having a good time while we explored the surrounding national parks. Charlie got to play with another puppy, meet horses and Darlene even worked on commands with him. We would definitely recommend.”

“My husband & I needed doggy daycare for Tula so we could do a hike at Zion & Liz provided the perfect solution! She met us outside with her sweet pup so they could immediately get acquainted & become friends. She sent texts & photos throughout the day assuring us that Tula was having the best time! I would use her again.”

“Barbara took wonderful care of Monty during our day trip to Zion! She sent photo updates, exercised him well, and he was happy and healthy when we picked him up. She was also easy to communicate and coordinate with. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

“Bo was extremely accommodating, super easy to communicate with, and took great care of my puppies while I spent the day in the National Parks. I highly recommend him.”

About: I have experience caring for large and small animals. I have worked with senior, special needs, reactive, aggressive, and shy animals. Previously, I have fostered puppies and kittens. I can administer meds orally or subcutaneously. Every animal is an individual and I care for them as such. I am currently working various labor contracts so my schedule is flexible. I am available for multiple visits throughout the day or just dropping by for walks. I can do a variety of tasks during a drop in visit, whether it's feeding, letting a dog out to potty or administering medication. My experience allows me to handle dogs of all sizes and energy levels.
