Personalized care for your dog or cat - Orderville

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 great! She sent me photos regularly and updated me on how Callie was doing. I would definitely use Liz again and highly recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter. She responded immediately to any questions I had leading up to the stay and was accommodating with drop off and pickup times. I had no hesitations leaving my pup and will definitely use her again if she is available.”

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.

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

“During our visit to Zion National Park, we stayed at a hotel in the nearby town of Springdale . We needed a reliable pet sitter for our dog Tessa while we were at the park. Tessa doesn’t get along well with other dogs, so we were especially grateful that Liz did such a great job helping her feel comfortable and relaxed. Liz watched Tessa during the day, and on the second day when we brought her back, Tessa was clearly happy to see Liz again and went right up to her. Liz was very communicative and flexible, accommodating all of our special requests without any issues. We highly recommend her services and plan to visit Springdale again this summer — we’ll definitely be using Liz again!”

“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.

“Lori is amazing!!! During our trip, she sent us a picture of our dogs every night. When we got home, our house was spotless and the dogs were very happy. It's great to have such peace of mind when we go out of town!”
