About: I honestly know how difficult and STRESSFUL it can be to find the right person to care for your pet. I hope I can help bring you peace of mind in the process. It's hard enough to be away from our loved ones without worrying that they're not getting the level of care you give them and they deserve. I've taken care of and owned cats my whole life with dogs stepping into the last half of my life. With 3 dogs of my own, including experience with a chronically ill pup, I'm used to catering to pets with special diets and regular medication. I deeply enjoyed the time I spent working in a veterinary and boarding clinic, getting to experience the joy of taking care of every pet's needs, whether that be overnight boarding, day boarding, health and wellness, or basic training. I have loved pet sitting for people close to me for the last 4 years and decided to take it further to be able to fully enjoy the love and company that pets bring every day. I can provide comfort for any pet parents worried about their safety and standard of care. I would be delighted to get to spend more time with your pet and will keep you updated with photos, videos, and any special experiences during the time you're away. I'm a home-body and have a very flexible schedule, making me available for full attentiveness at any time, day or night. I understand how vital it is to find the right person to trust with your babies. I hope I have the opportunity to be that right fit you're looking for. I am currently caring for pets full time and am able to provide any routine your pet needs to be happy and at peace while you are away. Whether in my own home or yours, I can make any adjustments needed to accommodate any specific needs your pet may have. I have high standards of care I provide, whether in my home or yours. I am able to keep a close eye in any situation to ensure your pet is safe, healthy, and happy.

“Cydnee was so great to stop by last minute and take my Grizzly bear on a walk last minute. He is exhausted which is fantastic. I will definitely rebook. Thank you Cydnee!!”

About: My dog is precious to me and I will treat your fur-baby(ies) like my own. My goal in providing pet care is to make it as convenient and stress-free as possible. I know what it is like to need a last-minute sitter and I never want price to stand in the way of your pup getting quality care. So please reach out, especially if there are special circumstances! I love going on outdoor adventures with my 7 year old black Lab, Ellie! We especially enjoy hiking, swimming at the lake, and playing fetch at the park. On cold and rainy days, we'll do indoor enrichment activities like hide-and-seek, puzzle toys, or catching bubbles! With my own pup at home, we go to the park in the morning to play fetch and then a walk in the evening. I work a hybrid job and my schedule is very flexible as needed. Am I happy to provide visits/walks for your dog(s) alone, or to bring my dog along if your pup would enjoy some socialization and company. Ellie is very patient and tolerant of other dogs, especially those who are extra hyper or a little guarded at first. I have had many "runners" in my lifetime, so I am extra vigilant when it comes to entering/exiting your home as well as when on walks or at a park. Growing up, we always had at least three large dogs in my home (Great Danes, St. Bernards, Dobermans, etc.) so I am very familiar with pack dynamics and experienced when it comes to walking multiple dogs at once. Please let me know if there are any medical, behavioral, or other concerns and I am happy to do what I can to accommodate your pup's needs!

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. Outside of roller derby training with the local league and volunteering with the food bank, my schedule is open and available to help with your pet care needs. I have previous experience with senior pets, special needs pets, and animals with low socializing issues; however, I am not a trained nor certified trainer.

“Very reliable and everything went to plan. My girls were happy and not distressed when I got home.”

“Amy was a very gracious and understanding dog walker willing to fit in at the very last minute. I was on a road-trip with my family and my neighbor could only take them out back not walk them. I have a 75 lb black lab mix and a 65 lb red heeler mix both of which are very strong. She took them both for a walk in stride and my neighbor told me she was so surely nice. For sure a good choice when you’re in a pinch and need to let your fur kids get some exercise.”

About: I have lifelong experience caring for a wide range of animals, including cats, dogs, rabbits, lizards, turtles, hamsters, mice, and rats. Because of this, I’m comfortable adapting to different care routines, energy levels, and personalities — from active pets who need structured play and exercise to quieter animals who thrive with calm, consistent care. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, enrichment, and basic health monitoring. I’m also comfortable following specific care instructions to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment while their owners are away. I work from home with a very flexible schedule so I can make most any sitting/walking times work with my schedule. I volunteer to care for rescue cats every Sunday at Petco, usually around noon. I've been known to spend hours at a home when I am cat-sitting for friends to ensure their pet gets plenty of attention while they're away. I'm also a nail-trimming pro and would be happy to try (at least) trimming your cat's nails, if asked. I have had senior cats of my own that required medication, I've given pills, powders, eye drops, and injections before.

“Alexis was great with our two Goldens! They were tired and happy everyday after Alexis took care of them.”

About: As a life-long pet owner, lover, and caretaker, I am well-equipped to take in your furry friends and passionate about giving them a warm, safe place to stay (and play). I’ve had pets since I was a child — some of my fondest memories involve wet kisses and long, sniff-filled walks around the neighborhood. In addition to providing my family pets with basic care and love, I’ve watched and cared for dogs in my community since I was a tween. Neighbors enlisted my help to walk, feed, and check in on their pets while away, and I happily obliged any time I could. I’ve also cared for my own pup (a Golden Retriever) since I was 18, allowing me to adapt and grow with my dog over many years, homes, and chapters of life. Additionally, I lived with an experienced dog trainer for nearly five years, learning about dog behavior, care, training, and safety. During this time, I interacted (at home and in training classes) with dozens of breeds each with unique temperaments. I’ve lived with multiple dogs at once, and have experience with reactive pups who need more space and patience than others. Long story long, I am but a person who loves animals, is passionate about pet care and wellness, and wants to keep your pets safe and sound while away from their human families :) I currently work from home as a freelance content creator and musician. Most of my time spent away from home is flexible and lasts (at most) 5 hours (with a few exceptions). I enjoy spending time with dogs, and try to be home as often as possible when watching pets to ensure they are comfortable and safe. I have a large, fenced yard with plenty of room to explore, sniff, and play! I have one 11 year old dog — a sweet, social, pet-friendly Golden Retriever — to keep your pup company. His name is Simba, he loves to say hi and will engage if your pup initiates, but is also very content to keep to himself and takes cues and warnings well. Simba is a free roaming dog and I am happy to keep your pup out and about while I'm home and able to supervise. I also live with a cat who keeps to herself and stays confined to a dog-free room. She will not interact with your pets during their stay. For your pup's safety and mine, I prefer they are crate trained. That way, I can ensure they are safe and comfortable while I'm out. I also utilize kennels as a quiet space for dogs to decompress and recharge separate from outside distractions. However, they will be offered plenty of time outside of their crates, both indoors and outdoors. Dogs are allowed on furniture and beds in my house. However, I can enforce any off-furniture rules to maintain their routine while away from home.

About: Hello! My name is Nichole. I am the owner of a small pet-sitting business in the Salt Lake City, UT area. Much of my experience is with exotic animals (avian, aquatic, small mammals), as well as numerous dog breeds, including both toy and working breeds of all ages. I've enjoyed the privilege of working with animals of all varieties (including cats, allergies can't stop me x)! I take care of exercise and playtime needs, grooming, drop-in visits, overnight care, and am experienced in handling a variety of mild-moderate medical and behavioral needs. Additionally, I'm deeply fascinated by animal behavior and psychology. I offer positive reinforcement and classical conditioning training, should that be of interest. If you like, I'll add some tricks to your pet's repertoire, provide some insight on your pet's state of mind, or simply tidy up their manners to your specifications. Feel free to reach out with inquiries. I am more than happy to provide references and answer questions! I take clients one at a time, 7 days/wk, meaning your pets will have my undivided attention. Time slots are first come first serve- I will try my best to accommodate! Typically, I do drop-in visits and/or overnight sitting in your home. I offer boarding on a case by case basis only! I find that most animals do best in a familiar environment. My specialty is providing customized in-home assistance for beloved pets to meet mental stimulation and exercise needs!

“Jenny is great with my dog and very reliable! Would def hire again to take care of my dog.”

About: Hi! I’m Sylvi, and caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up helping my family and friends take care of their dogs, so being around pups feels completely natural to me. From feeding and walking to playing, training basics, and giving lots of love. While I’m in school at SUU, I volunteer at the local animal shelter in Cedar City and dog sit for my friends border collie consistently. That experience has taught me how to work with dogs of all personalities, including shy, anxious, energetic, and special‑needs pups. I’m patient, calm, and always focused on making dogs feel safe and comfortable. When I’m home for the summer, I love using my free time to help pet parents who need someone reliable and caring. Whether your dog needs a long walk, a quick potty break, or just a friendly face while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they’re happy and well cared for. I currently work full time at a bike shop Tuesday - Saturday. I am available Saturday evenings, Sundays, and Mondays. I can also do pretty early mornings on most weekdays. I have a reliable car to transport your pet if needed and no issues with hair! I walk dogs consistently for my local animal shelter in Cedar City and love taking them on leisure walks or even hikes if that's something your dog enjoys! I'm down for anything and just want to make your dog happy and comfortable!

“Becky was fantastic. She has a very outgoing personality and is always smiling. My dog Goldie knows when she is coming over and gets so excited to see her and loves her walks with Becky. Becky is always on time for her appointments and truly loves pets. I absolutely recommend her.”

About: I have always had dogs going up! I helped train my parents dogs along with my own pup! I worked for an animal service company in the past, so I have lots of experience and I know how important our furry family members are! I will ensure your animal is treated as if they were my own. Your pet’s wellbeing and safety are my top priority. I work full time at a hospital, but I am available before & after work- typically after 4:30pm. I take my pup to the park and on walks everyday after work, so animals with high energy is my speed!! My husband has a very flexible schedule, so he’s home 3 days a week (during the work week). We both have weekends off and have flexibility for your animals needs:) We do live in an apartment, but we are very active (along with our dog) so we go on about 3-4 walks a day! We live close to several parks as well so your furry friend will get loves of play time!
