“The dogs loved Calista’s place! They were so tired when we picked them up and very happy. So glad to have her watch them and she made us feel very comfortable.”
“Debbie paid full attention to Abbie Rose during her stay there. Although Abbie had a bit of anxiety staying with Debbie (we haven't left her much), she provided Abbie with the love and attention needed. We will certainly use Debbie again!”
“Ashleen was awesome! She took such great care of our dog. She gave updates and made sure he was well taken care of while he was at her house. Will use her again when needing dog care.”
“Atie is the most amazing sitter and dog mom! She and her 2 lovely dogs welcomed my dog for 8 days!! It was a great fit!! She has an amazing home and yard that is so ideal. She checked in often and really cared for my pup (who is. A very picky eater). Can’t recommend her enough - especially for a small dog who gets overwhelmed by larger dogs. 💕🐾”
“Jared was excellent to work with for our first time having to leave our pup since we moved to the area. He was flexible with our schedules, a prompt and courteous communicator, and sent us plenty of pictures while we were away. I would be more than happy to have Jared watch our pup anytime and we are grateful for the care and love he provided!”
“Brooke was wonderful! She took great care of Mipha and sent lots of photos of our pup having fun. She was very accommodating when we needed to change the pickup time, and our puppy came home super happy!”
“Phenomenal! Katherine took amazing care of our dog. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. She took him on daily walks, and made sure he got lots of cuddles. I would recommend her 10/10! Thank you. ❤️❤️”
“Jessalyn took a great care of our dog Max while away for 2 weeks. She send us updates with pictures and Max was treated as part of the family. I highly recommend Jessalyn and we will definitely use her again when we will need doggy care.”
“Emily is terrific! This is the third time that she has watched my dog for me. I get the cutest pictures of Bonnie playing, having snuggles, going for walks, etc. I know that Bonnie has a great time with Emily and her family and Bonnie comes home happy and tired LOL. I trust Emily and recommend her 1,000% It's not always easy to find a sitter for my tiny dog, so I'm very grateful to be able to call on her!”
“I’m so thankful Rebeca accepted our last minute booking over a holiday weekend. My lab and schnauzer had the best time! She took them on a lot of walks and sent pictures. They had a lot of fun playing with her dog, too. They were happy and tired when I picked them up.”

“We have used Amanda and Cody several times. We are grateful for the love and care they show our dog Lucy. We received pictures and updates daily. Highly recommend them.”
“Beverley was amazing! She dealt with our hectic and rushed drop off politely and attentively. She also sent us pictures of our puppies periodically throughout their stay. When we arrived our pups were happy and energetic after having been treated so well. We'll be using her again in about a week!”
“Really felt comfortable leaving our old boy Bentley, with Marissa. I was a bit concerned at first because Marissa has a dog and three cats of her own. As an older dog, Bentley prefers to sleep and pretty much, just be left alone, but the animals got along just fine. I could instantly tell at our introduction meeting that Marissa is an animal lover with a very kind heart. While we were away, Marissa took pictures of the dogs interacting and taking walks ... apparently, many walks ... and sending them to me regularly. Upon return, when I picked Bentley up, Marissa said "I thought you said that Bentley was kind of lay-back and just wanted to sleep. But, he was the first one up waiting to go outside to play and explore". I really appreciate the great job Marissa did with Bentley during our nine-day trip. I had such peace of mind that our dog was being loved and cared for. I would VERY MUCH like to use Marissa's boarding services again, next time we travel.”

About: Growing up my family has always had dogs from seniors to full litters of puppies. Hiking and exercise have always been vital in our dogs care. Dogs who are house trained are free to roam in and out of the house during the day with use of a dog door and fully fenced 6ft fence outside with 0.5 acres to run around. I take my dogs on walks everyday and would love to include yours as well! Weekends work best for me. Home during the day for the summer months so I have plenty of time to love on your pup. I have a large fenced yard with two dogs who love to be active and play well with others of all sizes both inside and outside as they want.
“Nichole was highly communicative, took complications like a power outage in stride, and took excellent care of our cat. We got daily pictures and it was clear he loved having her around. We recommend her highly, and will be trying to get her again next time we need a sitter!”

“Laura took great care of my cats while I was away! She was always very responsive to messages and timely in her visits, sending me great photos and updates. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
About: As a lifelong cat owner and proud cat mom to two cats, I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers their space, I’ll provide patient, compassionate care tailored to their needs. I have experience administering oral medications, topical medications, and injections to cats and am comfortable following detailed care instructions. I’ll make sure your cat stays on their routine while you’re away, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of love (if they want it!). I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages after every visit to give you peace of mind. I’ll care for your cat as if they were one of my own.
“Michelle did an excellent job taking care of my dogs. She was reliable and caring, and I highly recommend her services. Notably, she went above and beyond when she noticed my older dog had developed a sore that required a vet visit. I truly appreciate Michelle for taking him to the vet and ensuring he received the necessary care. Having her do the drop-in visits was a much better option for my dogs compared to boarding. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Sierra did a wonderful job looking after my cats! She always arrived right on time for her visits and kept me updated with plenty of great pictures, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She took excellent care of everything and left my cats happy and content. I highly recommend her services!”

About: My earliest memories are of playing with dogs. As an adult I love my kitties and will care for any furry, scaley or feathered friends. Every day I care for my dog and 4 cats. The trip to the nearby park is a routine where I find refuge. I have flexibility with my work schedule and can make most times fit. I have a fenced yard where pets can roam free without fear of antagonism or being set loose in the neighborhood. I give each memeber of the clan daily attention and individual care.

“Holly was great with Rudy. He can be a little needy in the morning when he doesn't get exercise and she immediately adapted to his needs and took him out to play and took him on long walks. Would definitely book Holly again!”
“This was our first time using the Rover app and the first time having our fur baby watched by someone outside our family/friend circle. Lynsie was the perfect fit! She instantly helped me and my pup feel comfortable with her welcoming smile and reassuring words. She kept me update throughout the day with texts and pictures. When she noticed my pup getting a bit anxious she reached out to ask for additional advice on how best to soothe him. She truly calmed my nerves. I feel our pup was very well taken care of. We highly recommend her and will use her again in the future. Thank you Lynsie!!”

About: Our family first started with 2 puppies and have increased and decreased over the years. We love animals and dogs especially. I have self groomed my schnauzer for 10 years and have the tools to do bath care and simple grooming. We are currently at 4 kids and 2 dogs and 3 snakes. Kids ages 10-18. We live a block away from a canyon trail so extra walks and exercise is quick and easy! I am an intuitive massage therapist and have worked on several animals in and around injury, anxiety and emotional distress. I work part time nearby and in my home as a massage therapist. We are usually always around for weekends and holidays. With already two dogs we are very accustomed to regular care. I have a fence between the kitchen and living room that keeps pets in the main part of the home but also has easy access to a fenced in back yard through a doggie door. The pets become part of the family whether it’s taking them to bed or on walks or to play outdoors. We will do our best to follow the similar rules as your house such as where they sleep, allowed on furniture, etc.
About: I've owned animals throughout my life. Currently, I have a lasb/mastiff mix, 3 cats, 4 lizards and a trantula that I share my home with. I'll care for your pet to the best of my abilities and they will always be loved, safe, and protected In my day to day life, my fiance and I share duties in the indie bookshop and creative space that we own. In the mornings, I get ready and take our dog outside. I always pick up the poop and dispose of it - it's a requirement in our townhome community. I then go in and feed the dog and give her any medications and supplements she may be on. Usually, I leave the house and my fiance takes care of her letting her out and taking a walk during the day. We do have a fenced dog park one block over that we frequently visit to let the pup run around off-leash for a bit and play with any other dogs that may be there and/or throw the ball. In the evening, we always go for a nightly walk before bed. Then our dog has a comfy bed at the foot of our bed and some stairs so she can get on the bed and lay with us. Your dog will get the same experience and care as our sweet girl, along with a playmate so boredom won't be an option. All dogs will be on leash outside of the home and waste will be disposed of properly. There's a fenced dog park near by that will allow your dog to run around off leash with our dog, who is very friendly and patient - an older spayed large dog, gentle as can be. Your dog will get the same care and protection as ours including no access to the cat box or open food they can grab, lots of love and attention, access to clean water always, and extra emphasize on anything you tell me your dog needs. I take our pets health very seriously.

About: I have lived with animals my entire life. Growing up I had a wide variety of animals. I have had experience caring for large and small dogs alike, senior dogs and cats. I have experience administering medication to many of these animals as well. I recently moved from the Midwest where I was a volunteer search and rescue member- closely working with the search dog teams and assisting as a handler as needed. I have experience working with these dogs in and out of the field. I have also trained in K-9 first aid. I work evenings M-F. My mornings and early afternoon are relatively free during the week. And I absolutely love going to visit some fur babies in the evening on my lunch break, or late at night visits after my shift. Currently, I'm fully available on the weekends for pet care as well. I can administer medications as needed. Your pet's safety and health are my number 1 priority. I can clean up after your pet as needed. Playtime, potty breaks, and snacks as well! And I will give them all the attention.
“So thankful that Avery was our Rover, we are traveling food vendors and we have odd hours and long hours and Avery was able to accommodate walking our dog twice a day plus feeding him for three days in a row. She’s very communicative, and very punctual, and even though she wasn’t feeling well on Saturday, she still came and walked our dog. I hope we can use her again next year as we plan on attending the summer fest festival in Logan again.”
“Julie is always terrific! She's flexible and responsive with scheduling, and she loves my dogs and she's so good with them! They love her, they get all excited when they see it's her at the door and they come back tired and happy!”
About: I started working with animals in a vet clinic at the age of 16. Since then I’ve worked with a variety of animals in different clinical settings. I am currently studying to become a veterinarian and love caring for animals. I have provided care for animals of all ages and would love to provide the reassurance you need while you are away from your pet! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to check in on your kitties!! I am available on the weekends and weekdays after 12pm! I have an extra room perfectly curated for kitties!! This will keep your kitty separate and safe and in their own environment to relax while you are away!
About: As a dog owner myself, including caring for a reactive dog, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a safe, comfortable environment. I have experience with dogs of all ages, energy levels, and temperaments, and I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s reinforcing routines, administering medications, providing extra attention to senior dogs, or keeping up with an energetic puppy, I treat every pet like my own while keeping owners updated and giving them peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine as I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. I enjoy staying active with dogs through walks, playtime, and enrichment activities, and I can easily adapt my schedule to meet each pet’s needs while keeping owners updated and informed. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine in the comfort of their own home. I follow feeding schedules, provide walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention while ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, treat every home with respect, and make sure pets receive the same level of care and love they would from their family.
About: I have grown up with a dog my whole life. When I was very young we had a Yorkie named Rex. And for the last 11 years we have had an energetic yellow lab named penny. We trained her ourselves and now she is very well behaved. I love dogs and am great with them. I love to play them just as much as they do! I currently work part time most days of the week but have a fairly free schedule since my shifts aren’t that long. I go to sleep late and wake up early so my days are open! I live in a house with a fenced yard big enough for a dog to play fetch in. My roommates love animals too so all pets will be welcomed. I am willing to stay at anyone’s home and will be respectful of any house rules that are set.
