Personalized care for your dog or cat - Kanab

“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!”

“Misty was outstanding! We truly felt great about leaving our cat in her care. She sent me plenty of updates throughout our trip and lots of photos too, which i loved. We will definitely use her services again!”

Madison & Griffin G.

“Kylie is an excellent sitter! She was very thorough in wanting to meet Kali first to make sure they got along. She answered all our questions and had minimal requests of us (hydrogen peroxide available in case of an emergency). She sent me photos of my pup and spent an adequate amount of time with her on her visits. We would recommend Kylie to our friends and family!”

Emily R.

“Catey did a wonderful job with our stressed-out and nervous cat. She was very patient with him and made sure he got his pill every day. I was very comfortable leaving him in her hands.”

Kallie W.

“Lori was very attentive to Charlie’s needs and was great to stay in contact with pictures and updates each day.”

“Sarah fed my elderly horse while I was away. It was a quick trip. She was reliable, caring, and a great communicator - everything you want from a pet sitter.”

Catherine S.

“Samantha did a wonderful job dropping in several times while I was away for a very long day. She visited the times we agreed and did a few small unexpected things like thawed out some frozen nuggets and cleaned food containers to make my morning much smoother. I highly recommend that you consider Samantha when you need help.”

About: I currently work at a dog daycare in Alaska and volunteer at a cat shelter. I have dog sat for dogs and cats from puppies to seniors. I have experience in giving insulin to both dogs and cats as well as subcutaneous fluids. I am animal CPR certified, fear free certified, and have a veterinary assistant certification. I am an intern at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary this summer 2026. My work schedule is Sunday-Thursday 8am-5pm. If your pet requires a midday potty break, I have an hour lunch at 12 pm to relieve them! I always check with clients on any home safety concerns and follow any guidelines asked to follow. I treat my clients home and pets as if they were my own.

About: Visiting the national parks in Southern Utah? If you are visiting the national parks, your family can relax and enjoy the area. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I will make sure your dog feels right at home. We also have experience with shy and unconfident dogs and rescues. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! My normal hours are 6 am to 6 pm, 7 days a week. We can care for your pet with confidence when you are visiting Zion National Park and North Rim of the Grand Canyon and other parks around Kanab! We take dogs outside for potty breaks every 1 to 2 hours. During the summer months my house is air-conditioned and there are lots of doggie beds and blankets in various places around my home. We also have heated and air-conditioned indoor dog kennels with windows for natural light. Dogs are taken out and walked around our 20 acre farm with a creek and lots of cool places for the dogs to explore. I take walks on my 20 acre property and I can take your dog with me either leashed or unleashed depending on your dog's recall. Dogs can rest or sleep on the couch or on a doggy bed. We have crates or you can bring your own if you want your dog crated. Every dog gets my personal attention and time. I take a limited number of dogs to assure each dog is happy and well cared for. I have a dog-safe yard and home. Dogs are in climate-controlled areas if it becomes too hot or cold. Dogs are hand-walked every 2 hours or less along our sandy doggie paths. We make sure your dog enjoys his/her mini-vacation!

“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.”

About: I began volunteering at a local humane society during my senior year of college, igniting a passion for helping animals in need. While job hunting after graduation, I started offering pet sitting services through Rover.com and volunteering at the Aiken ASPCA learning the basics of animal behavior and training. In January 2018, I began my internship, which transitioned into an apprenticeship, at Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary which is where I developed a strong foundation in animal husbandry and enrichment. To supplement my income, I continued pet sitting in my off time. Once my time with the primates came to an end, I got a job working as a caregiver for Best Friends Animal Society in Atlanta. This is where I learned advanced animal behavior, handling, and training. Once again I earned extra money through pet sitting. I also regularly volunteered as a husbandry aide for Zoo Atlanta’s contact yard learning all about goats and sheep. I transferred to Best Friends Animal Society’s Dogtown during the height of the pandemic, and I began building a client base for pet sitting in Kanab. After parting ways with Best Friends in 2021, I remained in Kanab, continuing to provide pet sitting services while working at a local gas station. I joined Lumber Plus in 2022, honing my customer service skills and deepening my connection with the local community. I established myself as one of Kanab’s trusted pet sitters, known for my reliability and love for animals. In July 2024, I took a significant step forward by founding SabiSara Pets, a venture that combines my passion for animal care with my entrepreneurial spirit. I work part time at a local hardware store wed-sat so have less availability on those days. They are flexible with allowing me to take longer lunches when needed. I have high standards for animal care and what I consider “bare minimum”. My job is to make sure your animals have access to clean fresh water, have access to food according to their schedule, and are in a safe, secure, and sanitary environment because I take it seriously that I am responsible for their mental and physical well-being.

“Misty was perfect! She was super responsive and flexible as we figured out our plans, and our dog loved her immediately. It was easy to enjoy our bike ride knowing he was in great hands.”

“Bo is an excellent dog walker and sitter...we were here visiting and he came to our Airbnb for a meet n greet the night before and I instantly knew he was the right person that I could rely on and his ease with the dogs is awesome. I highly recommend Bo he walked our boy twice and took lot's of pics. If I'm back in town he's definitely our guy to call.”

“Catey was amazing with my sweet Baloo! She was on time, sent so many cute pictures, and took great care of him!! Will definitely use her again in the future!”

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.
