“Brent and Liza were so great!! They took such great care of our puppy. It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family, but they were amazing and we would definitely book with them in the future! They sent multiple updates and photos throughout the day and Alfie had the best time with their dog, Buck. Would recommend them over and over again!!”
“Alexis was great with our two dogs, one of whom gets a bit anxious in new situations. She kept me informed with messages and pictures, and went out of her way to set up the yard for our Berner’s love of playing in water.”
“Phebe stayed for 9 nights and had a great stay. I loved getting photo/video updates and never once felt worried about her while on vacation. Thank you so much!”
“One of our best experiences on Rover! An amazing experience from start to finish! Our dog was treated like part of the family, and we could tell they had a great time. We loved getting updates while we were away, and it made traveling so much less stressful. We came home to a happy dog and are so grateful for the wonderful care. Highly recommend! Elizabeth is the best!”
“Jordan came through for me when my sitter had to cancel on me at the last minute. My dog was well taken care of and seemed very happy when I came to pick her up. 10 out of 10 would recommend!!”

“Kellie did an amazing job caring for my dog, Rue! I really appreciated receiving photos while I was away. It was wonderful to see Rue had such a fun time playing in the backyard and getting along so well with their dog, Noodle. I will definitely be trusting Kellie with dog sitting again in the future!”
“Meredith is the absolute best and takes great care of my dog. Her home is our pup’s “home away from home” whenever I travel and she treats him so well. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Meredith.”
“Wow, Lisa was great with our timid little Cavalier! Contrary to his breed, ours is a very shy guy who lets almost no one pet him. Lisa made good friends with him, though, and I can tell he really enjoyed his stay with her. Her communication was top-notch, too. I would definitely book with her again.”

These two are friends for life now, I’m sure of it! They have a fully fenced backyard for the pups to play in and brought him to the park to play as well. Just what a 1 year old golden needs! I had zero stress knowing my Sunny was in great hands. Wouldn’t hesitate at all to use them again- pretty sure Sunny is trying to plan my next trip for me already 😂”
“Marylynn was great with Riza! She took her on several walks and sent me lots of updates. My dog had a blast at her house and was nice and tired when I brought her back home.”

“Cooper took great care of my cats while I was away on holiday. They seem great with cats, even my shy cat got comfortable enough to be around them after only a couple visits! Would recommend.”
“We are so pleased with the service Brianna provided to our two cats. When we got back home after a 7 day vacation they were happy and clearly well cared for. Each of our cats require a different kibble and one takes a pill once per day. She provided twice per day visits and sent photos daily. We will definitely rebook with Brianna.”
“Anna was friendly, punctual, followed all instructions and sent many photos of her interaction with my cat. Will definitely book her again in other opportunities.”
“My cat is super shy, I thought the only proof of life we would have is the food disappearing, but she made her feel safe enough to come out and interact. That is a huge deal. Super communicative and easy to work with, will def work with her again!”
“Brooklyn does a great job at taking care of my cats and making sure they are doing well when I'm gone. They've also bonded with her and enjoy her company when she visits”
About: Previous experience with dogs and cats at local shelters as well as Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Knowledgd in providing care for all types of different animals.
“Keslee is very nice. She took good care of my 19-yr old cat, Ernie. She sent pictures & videos & kept me informed about him. I'd definitely request her again.”
“Anna truly went above and beyond in caring for my cat. After each visit, she left a very detailed note describing how my cat was doing and how the visit went. When I met her I knew that she truly cared about animals from the thoughtful questions she asked and from how she took the time to get to know my cat and interact with him. Everything looked great when I returned from my trip and my cat was very happy. Highest recommendation, and I will definitely be booking with Anna again!”
“Sydney was extremely reliable and did a great job taking care of my cats and giving multiple medications to one of them. She made sure they had what they needed and sent me updates.”
“McKenna provided excellent care for my two cats and was great about providing updates and pictures while I was away. Everything went very well and I would be happy to book her again. Highly recommend her services for pet sitting!”
“Casey was absolutely wonderful - I cannot recommend her more highly! She was so kind, attentive, and compassionate while cat sitting for us. She sent wonderful photos and updates throughout that made me so glad that our cat was in her capable hands. I could tell that she gave my cat such great attention, playing with her and engaging her when she was being shy. She sent great photos that showed how much my cat loved getting pets from her and it made me frel at ease to see that my cat was getting such love and care while I was away. Casey went above and beyond throughout the entire experience, including navigating a situation that arose with our pet incredibly skillfully, compassionately, and generously. I would choose Casey again in a heartbeat and recommend her in the highest - I would trust her deeply with the care of any animal of mine!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Yalecrest
“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!”
“Our dog Ira loved spending the day at Hillary’s house. When I dropped of Ira, I could tell the she was attentive to his needs and her dog interacted well with him (even though he is much smaller). I will certainly use Hillary again for dog sitting!”
“Holly was very bright and friendly. My dog played well with the other dogs in her home. She took my dog for walks in the park. She was understanding about my schedule being flexible. I will definitely be asking her to take care of my dog again.”
“I am so incredibly pleased with Maritza's care of my 3 month old puppy. I was admittedly nervous leaving him for the first time with someone else, but she sent me tons of pictures throughout the day, took him on MULTIPLE WALKS and gave me a full report on how he did when I picked him up. Maritza is now my go-to sitter!”
“Daniel is an amazing dog sitter! He is kind, responsive, and made my dog feel comfortable from the very start. I highly recommend Daniel and would book with him again! 12/10!’”
About: I own a dog myself! His name is Horchata and he is a miniature American Eskimo - he’s very hyper and hairy, and I’ve taken care of him and trained him since he was a puppy. If you chose me as your sitter, I will treat your baby like he is my own :) My family owned many dogs while I was growing up: a German Shepherd named Eleanor, and now a Husky named Targaryen. Both of them were very spoiled by me and were my besties. I have a pretty flexible schedule right now as I’m working remotely part-time! Im mostly available weekdays anytime before 5pm, but feel free to ask about any specific times. Im currently living in an apartment, and have one dog. I take him out regularly on walks and to the dog park, currently Fairmont Park, so he has space to run around free due to the lack of space at my home.
“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.”
About: My husband, Alejandro, and I have been caring for our own dog, Nala, for the past 6 years and 7 months. We completely understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. Caring for her has given us hands-on experience with daily routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure she feels safe, comfortable, and loved. We are patient, responsible, and caring people who genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. We love working as a team to care for pets, making sure they always have company, attention, and plenty of love. We know that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and we are happy to adapt to their individual needs to help them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Our goal is to care for every dog as if they were our own, giving them a safe environment so you can have complete peace of mind. I work 100% remotely from home, which allows me to be with the dogs throughout the day. They won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll be able to give them plenty of attention, potty breaks, and companionship. My schedule is flexible and my husband also works from home most of the days, so this allows us to follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care they may need. We understand how important consistency is for pets, and we’ll do our best to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. We love in a small, clean, pet-friendly apartment in a quiet neighborhood. While we don’t have a yard, we live less than 5 minutes from Sugar House Park, where we take our own dog every day for long walks, exercise, and plenty of time to explore. Any dog staying with us will enjoy regular walks, outdoor time, and lots of attention. We believe that supervised walks and enrichment are a great way to keep dogs happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated, and we’ll make sure your pup gets the exercise and care they need while they’re with us.
“We could not have been more happy with Tumaye’s care of our Bernedoodle. He responded quickly and was able to accommodate our next day request. Our dog took to him right away and seemed to have a great stay!”
“Very professional and friendly, gave me great updates. The backyard area is gorgeous and looks like a lot of fun for dogs to play in. Dominique even sent me home with a new little chew for my little Louie. I'll definitely be bringing him back.”
About: I have over 10 years with a large dog myself & worked in the pet industry for over 4 years. I have experience in training, nutrition and overall well being of your loved one! I enjoy being outdoors so if allowed, your pups will be able to join me on my many adventures hiking! I’m usually around everyday, dogs will get daily runs/walks depending on their ability. I will always make sure they get their outside time. Pets will always feel safe around me and my home. I will make sure they’re well fed and waters always full! They won’t go unnoticed.
“Tracey is awesome! We rescued a sweet and shy girl last year. When we reached out to Tracey, she was very patient and understanding. During the meet-and-greet, she and her pack warmly welcomed our shy girl and Tracey gave us a tour of her house and yard. By the end of the meet-and-greet, our girl was trying to play with all of the dogs which was a great sign. When it came to the first dog sitting day, Tracey sent pictures and updates on a regular basis. We were very assured that our girl was in great hands. When we picked her up the next day, Tracey said that she played a lot with her pack, so she was very tired the rest of the evening, which is super awesome for us! Hopefully, with time, our shy girl will eagerly anticipate going to Tracey's. I highly recommend Tracey as a dog sitter. She has great knowledge on dog behavior and can address it to create a warm and comforting environment. Thank you!”
“We dropped our 10 mo old puppy off at Keslee's for daycare and he had a blast! We got photo updates of his day, playing with other dogs and relaxing with her cute toddler. Keslee was easy and quick with communications, and drop off/pick up was a breeze. Will definitely be contacting her for future sits!”
About: I’ve had the opportunity to take care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds! Spending time with dogs is something that gives me genuine joy. I have a good understanding of what a dog is trying to communicate based on their body language which will keep your pup safe as well as me safe. Safely is key in building a relationship with an animal so they have the ability to fully trust and love you. I am currently not working so I have plenty of time to give your dogs the attention they need to strive! I will make sure they are safe and having fun. Since I am not working I will be able to be with the dogs all day, I will also be able to take the dogs in the car with me if that is what your dog needs:) I have a fenced back with lots of grass for your dog to roam and play in. One of my first priorities is keeping the dog safe at all times. Along with that making sure there is lots of love, exercise and rest is important for a dog to maintain a happy life.
“Kerri was so great! She was very communicative and made us feel extremely comfortable knowing Skippy was in good hands. When our return trip was delayed she went out of her way to make sure Skippy well taken care of!”
“Jean was so kind to let us book a last-minute daycare appointment, which we greatly appreciated. She took great care of our Jojo-doggy. She has a great setup for taking care of fur babies, which she seems to enjoy doing. We highly recommend her!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Yalecrest
About: I’ve been caring for pets for years and truly love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member because I have four pets myself. I’ll provide dependable care, lots of attention, and regular updates with photos for your peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own and can’t wait to meet yours! I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, medication, or simply companionship, I’ll be there to make sure they feel safe and loved. As a lifelong dog owner with over 15 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. I’m committed to treating every animal as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I have a fenced yard and four dogs for your pets to play with. All dogs are good with other dogs, and I am available to pick up pets free of charge. I also take my dogs out daily to a dog park or on a hike, sometimes twice a day. This option is available to any dogs I pet sit within the owners comfortability. I ensure each pet gets one on one attention throughout the day. Care and love is the focus of my pet sitting style.
About: I grew up with a dog of my own, and I didn't realize how high maintenance and sassy she was until I started dog-sitting for my friend's and extended family's dogs. I've had experience with dogs of all kinds: from anxious pups who need extra patience and reassurance, to energetic ones that love to play, as well as easy going. I know every dog is different, but I am willing to adapt to their unique needs and routine I'd love to meet and take care of your best friend. My schedule is flexible, so I have plenty of time to care for your pup(s). We can work out what's best for you! My philosophy is: leave a place (or a pup!) better than when you found it. I'm a rule follower, and I can adapt to your wants and needs.
“Jackalyn is awesome. Communicates great trustworthy and takes my pup on a nice long walk everyday when im at work. She goes above and beyond! Just in the past two weeks she had to fight off another dog that tried to bite my dog while she was walking him and also picked up the trash that my dog got into while I was away. Highly recommend!!”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent more than 20 years raising dogs — including a Spitz–Collie mix, Japanese Akita, Elkhound, German Shepherd mix, and Doberman — and I’ve been a Zen cat mom to two wonderful cats, a tortoiseshell and a tuxedo, for the past 15 years. I’m new to the area and absolutely love animals. As an entrepreneur, I’m able to keep a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for pet care. I see pet sitting as a wonderful way to stay active while exploring and getting to know my new community. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. In your home, I follow your instructions closely — including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box or yard breaks, walks, medications (if needed), and favorite routines or rituals. During house sitting and drop-in visits, I also keep an eye on your home’s safety, bring in mail or packages, and maintain a calm, tidy environment. For dogs, I provide structured walks, playtime, and plenty of affection while respecting their energy level and training style. For cats, I offer gentle interaction at their pace — whether that’s playtime, quiet companionship, or simply maintaining their preferred environment — along with daily litter care and enrichment. My goal is always to reduce stress, maintain consistency, and ensure every pet feels secure, seen, and well-cared for in their familiar space.
“My Gosh this sweet lady is absolutely the very Best! My Dog adores her and me too. She has so much experience and knowledge with animals of all kinds. Exceptional to meet and have a dog walker of this caliber! Thank you Rover and especially Jeannene !”
About: I have been raised around dogs, fostering cocker spaniels and learned how to manage/train dogs with basic mannerisms. I have always loved being around dogs and staying active within my community and having a dog definitely highlights those positive features of my lifestyle. Living away from home and my dog, being able to incorporate dog care back into my schedule would be no issue whatsoever. I am a student athlete so my schedule is less flexible than others but Fridays and weekends when we aren’t competing tend to be pretty flexibile. I enjoy playing with dogs when they are rowdy and cuddling with them once they are worn down. At home, I would take my dog for daily 20-45 minute walks. Making sure they truly had time to take care of business. I will feed a dogs obviously whenever they need to be fed, reward them with treats for good behavior, and pay the cheese tax of course!
“Anna was amazing. I contacted her last minute after another sitter ghosted me. She responded quickly and did a great job with my dog. I will definitely utilize her services again in the future.”
About: I grew up on a small farm with animals of all shapes and sizes. I have experience taking care of large and small pets, as well as many cats or dogs at a time. I am experienced at providing services such as individualized feeding and bathroom routines, and other grooming and healthcare needs. My mother is also a veterinarian so I got to spend a lot of time at the vet hanging out with many different pets. I live an active lifestyle and can help meet the play and exercise needs of dogs. Each pet is unique and I love getting to know them individually to ensure comfort. I am a graduate from the university of Utah, currently working on applying to grad school. I work remotely so I have plenty of free time to take care of pets and provide needed services. I live in a house with 3 roommates and a big backyard, so I can have pets over but not usually for extended periods of time. The best thing is for me to meet your pets in their home to reduce stress and ensure comfort. I am very good at handling all sorts of behaviors and following directions to a T. I can accommodate the needs of you and your furry friends.
“Jacob is incredible! Always reliable and quick to respond. I love that I always get photos on the walks and that his pup gets to join! Highly recommended!”
“Wonderful service from Sydney. She is reliable and trustworthy with my Scottish terrier, Walle, and he looks forward to their weekly walks now. I can’t recommend her enough if you’re looking for someone to care for your pet.”
About: I have loved dogs and puppies since before I could walk. I was the main caretaker of a 4 year old dog since he was a puppy before I moved to college, and now that I’ve graduated I want to be able to care for dogs again! I absolutely love the outdoors, including going on walks or hikes and parks. I'm very energetic, hard working, and punctual! I'll try to get back as soon as I can on any sitter requests. Feel free to let me know any special requests with your dog, I'm pretty flexible.
“Sadie always has a great time with Sheila! Since I'm gone 12 hours a day, it feels good knowing that I can depend on Sheila to help take care of my dog. She was very thorough and asked good questions during our first meeting, and lets me know far in advance if she's going to be out of town.”
“Keslee was available to walk our dogs last minute (we requested the night before) she responded quickly and communicated well. She did a great job with our three crazy pups.”
“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.”

We came back to a happy, well-cared-for dog and felt completely confident in the care she received. Would highly recommend them and would book again without hesitation.”
