Perfect for high energy dogs - Salt Lake City
“Alexis was very patient with Morrison as he is an anxious boy and needs some time to adjust to the new environment. She kept me updated with pictures and texts throughout the day so I was not worried. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: Friends have trusted me to care for their pets for the past 6 years and counting. I have experience with overnight care, house sitting, check-ins/drop-ins, dog walks, administering oral medications, senior dog care, puppy care, dog training, and dog grooming. I’m currently going to school part time and working part time. Mostly virtually so I am mobile. I have plenty of free time to care for your fur babies. I live in an apartment with one sweet girl dog named Luna. So your fur babies will have a friend. I take my dog to the dog park frequently. We have a nice neighborhood to go on walks. Or car rides are fun. I train for treats so the animals will be well behaved and of course the fur babies always get lots of love.
About: I have had pets in my home for my entire life. I have volunteered in animal shelters since 2019 and currently do regular shifts at a local shelter, where I walk dogs (I am trained to the most advanced level, meaning I can interact with and walk dogs who are still working on their social skills and interactions), take dogs and cats on local news shows to encourage adoption, foster dogs in my own home, and take part in educational opportunities to continually advance my animal care and advocacy abilities. My full-time job is remote and has a flexible schedule, so I can hang out with pets for much of the day and take breaks for outside time, playtime, appointments, and so on. I also teach a handful of yoga classes every week, usually in the late mornings, but the times vary from week to week. I am happy to give your pet what they need, whether that's scritichies, playtime, walks, gentle time sitting around, medicine, and so on. Whatever it is, I will be patient with them and their needs.
“I was so happy to be able to have Maritza watch my puppy at the last minute on Thanksgiving day. Maritza's warm and kind personality made me feel extremely comfortable leaving my pup in her care. She sent fun photos during his stay. I definitely would recommend Maritza to dog owners and I will most definitely be booking with her again. ??❤️”
“Madeline and Jacob were amazing! They were so attentive and Jack had the best time! They took him on a walk and sent lots of pictures. He came home happy as can be and thoroughly tired.”
“We recently moved to Salt Lake and we don’t know anyone so we were nervous about finding a place for Moose. I work long hours and don’t like to leave him home alone. I’m so grateful we found Alyssa! She’s been very flexible and has been great with Moose. I love the pictures and texts updating me about his day. ☺️”
“Cari has been dogsitting our little dog, Cava, for a little while now and she is the best part of Cava's day. In fact, in the morning when Cava doesn't want to get out of bed, all I have to do is tell her we're going to Cari's and she races past me to the door, overwhelmed with excitement to spend the day with Cari. It makes my mama heart so happy to know that she is well taken care of and loved.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Salt Lake City
About: I've been caring for pets for over 15 years, both as an owner and a trusted sitter. I currently have a Lab/Collie mix named Coleslaw, so I know how important it is to find someone who will care for your dog like they're family. Whether it's long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or sticking to your dog's routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. You'll also get plenty of photo updates, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine, so fitting in walks, playtime, feedings, and plenty of attention comes naturally. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate your pet's needs, whether that's sticking to a specific routine, providing frequent potty breaks, or simply spending quality time with them to keep them happy and comfortable. Every pet is different, so I do my best to follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether I'm caring for them in my home or yours, I'll make sure they have plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, fresh water, and lots of affection. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, respect any feeding or medication instructions, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they're doing.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog since I was a child and I’ve done over 30 pet sits through friends, family, and through Trusted Housesitters! I’ve had experience with a wide range of dogs and cats, such as anywhere from healthy and energetic to older and needing special care. I absolutely love spending time with animals! I currently work online so I love to go for walks for a break and absolutely love the company of animals! I am able to do walks or check-ins any time, generally! I am able to come to the owners home to drop in and give attention, feed, or take for a walk, and follow any routine needed for your pets!
About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m also a very involved pet parent to my Golden Retriever, Biscuit, who has taught me so much about training, patience, routines, and understanding a dog’s individual needs. I’ve worked alongside professional trainers with him and have experience reinforcing training, providing enrichment, going on walks, and helping him build confidence through anxiety and new situations. I also have experience administering oral medication to dogs, as Biscuit takes medication himself, so I understand the importance of following medication instructions and keeping a consistent schedule. I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I want every pet in my care to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ll care for yours just like I’d want someone to care for Biscuit. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I already structure my days around caring for my own pets, including walks, feeding, playtime, and enrichment, so adding another furry friend into my routine comes naturally. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual schedule and routine whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs, and I’ll follow any care instructions you provide closely. As a pet parent myself, I have experience with walks, feeding schedules, enrichment, training reinforcement, and administering oral medication. I’m also mindful of things like anxiety, triggers, and behavioral cues, and I believe in being patient and allowing pets to get comfortable with me at their own pace. I’ll always care for your pet the way I’d want someone to care for my own.
“Wow! She’s wonderful! So sweet with Zoey and she helped me out with a last-minute walk as another walker was sick. Look forward to booking her again :)”
“Kady was so sweet and kind to Russ. I can tell that he absolutely adored her. She was very professional and flexible with the changes I wanted to make. Will def book a walk with her again.”
About: I am a professional dog sitter working out of Salt Lake City, Utah. I have worked as a Kennel Technician and Veterinary Assistant for dogs, cats, rabbits, and ferrets and other mammals. I love all animals and am very knowledgeable and caring with them. I decided to go to school to become a vet tech in 2017 in the program at Mountain Edge Veterinary Technology. In that time, I have learned everything from simple restraint and nail trims to anesthesiology and fluid therapy. I left the veterinary field in 2023 to pursue a career in the arts. In my free time I like to play Video Games and dabble in writing. My favorite foods include pizza, steak, and burgers (I make the steak and the burgers myself.) My favorite animal is a well behaved Siberian Husky! I am a full-time pet sitter. Having worked in boarding facilities, I saw a rising need for overnight and personalized care. I decided to make the jump in 2025, and I cannot imagine doing anything else! I always keep a watchful eye on your pets, whether that be in the yard or in your home. I strive to create a significant level of trust with every animal and client that I work with and am always in constant contact through photos and messages.
“I have had Kaitlyn walk my puppy 5 times now and each time she follows all my directions/requests exactly. I always receive a detailed report and from what I can tell my puppy really likes her. Highly recommend!”
“Marissa is great with our dog! Our dog is always so excited to see her. She took our dog out when it was snowing and made sure he still got his exercise despite the weather. She always communicates how the walk goes. Our dog is vocal around other dogs and she handles it great with distractions.”
“Sheila took great care of my fur baby and provided detailed updates for each walk, even when the Rover app was not working correctly. She went the extra mile to let me know what was going on and to make sure my dog was happy while we were gone.”
About: I've been my street's resident animal lover since I was a kid. I've always loved being around dogs, cats, snakes, and more, and am always honored when someone trusts me to take care of a part of their family! I have two dogs of my own, and three cats that share my home! Although I technically have no professional experience in this specific area, I promise to give your animal the best care possible! I am currently working at a small caramel factory grim 10am-2pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Other than that, I'm free to give your pets all the attention they need! I am unavailable for boarding, though I am happy to watch and play with your pets at your house while you are away. I am more than willing to comply with whatever boundaries you set relating to your house and animal. It's most important for you to feel comfortable with who is watching your animals!
About: I've been around cats and dogs my whole life, and get along with animals large and small. I've trained anxious dogs to love walks, and even taught a cat to roll over. A good day to me has at least one puppy cuddle! I'm a remote freelancer, so I can easily fit around you and your pet's schedule! I know every pet and every pet parent has their own habits and patterns, so I work to make sure things are as consistent as possible, honoring your home and your schedule.
“Emalee is so good with my dog, & always seems excited to see her! She is very thorough & always follows instructions perfectly. I never have to worry about my dogs wellbeing or safety when she is with Emalee!”

Leslie sent sweet photos every day, and it was clear that Stella absolutely loved staying with her and Tim. We are excited to bring Stella back for future boarding.”

She works from home so she really is such a great fit to watch our little family members.”
