Dog Sitting in Zion

“Ayla is awesome! Trustworthy and attentive. She brings a good, calming energy that is needed for my very excitable dog. I specifically booked her because of her PM availability. I work 12 hour night shifts I and needed someone to let my dog out for a pee break around 11pm. She also takes great care of my cats when I’m away for the weekend. It gives me great peace of mind to leave my pets in her care!”

“Simply said, Tara is the BEST! We were out of town for over a week and she provided excellent care for our cat, Jeter. Not only did she care and play with Jeter, she was also gracious enough to feed the feral neighborhood cat, Raya, who we provided outside housing on our deck for the cold winter months. We received daily photos which we totally loved including Tara’s fun comments and great humor! We would highly recommend her services and will not hesitate to request her again for future travel. I now know why she is a Star Sitter!! My husband and I, along with our cat, Jeter, has made a very special friend! 🤩🐈‍⬛❤️”

About: I love animals! I’ve had dogs since I was kid. I’m used to taking care of young and old dogs because I’ve had both! Raised mine since she was was puppy and now she’s a senior and not as active so I’m looking to take care of other pets since I’m not as busy. I work during the mornings so I have a flexible schedule. I am available to walk your dogs between 12pm-8pm and boarding starts at 2pm I have a small fenced yard and a friendly senior dog to keep your pup company. They’ll have air condition in the house and free to go out back whenever.

About: I have a deep love for dogs of all breeds and would be thrilled to care for your furry friend while you’re away. With a lifetime of experience as a dog owner, I currently have three Airedales. Over the years, I’ve completed numerous obedience classes with my dogs, and I’m skilled at applying that knowledge to provide quality care. I’m experienced in raising puppies, including training basic commands, potty training, and leash walking. My one-year-old is even competing in dock diving and barn hunting, which highlights my commitment to providing enriching experiences for dogs. I also have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, as my 11-year-old pup requires regular medical attention. In addition, I’m skilled in bathing and grooming, having always groomed my own dogs. I even have a grooming table, so your dog will receive top-notch care if required. As a stay-at-home mom with older adult kids and a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to walk, play with, or house-sit for your pups with all the attention they deserve. For your peace of mind, I’ll always walk your dog on a leash. If you have a fenced yard, we can enjoy a fun game of fetch. And if your pup needs to be crated when I leave, rest assured they’ll be content and happily exhausted after all the playtime!

About: Hello 👋 Since I could walk I fell in love with working in the animal field. As a little girl I would follow my grandfather around his farm to help with the pigs, chickens and donkey. As a teenager I would feed and look after stray cats in the neighborhood. Due to my love for animals, my father turned part of his garage into a safe haven for strays. Currently I live in Wadsworth caring for my own and foster cats. Since I can only have cats in my rental, I treat family/friends dogs as my own by frequent visits and taking them out to the beach or hikes. I also used to volunteer at a local animal control by feeding, walking and doing some basic training with dogs. Currently work as a receptionist/ assistant at an animal hospital. When I’m not working, I’m finding additional ways to help with animals, like pet sitting, rescues or animal control. I am trained to administer medications- oral, injections and fluids. At home I currently have 7 cats of my own and 4 fosters. I have a spare room that separates certain fosters and my own, but they all get equal time to come out of their rooms and get attention. I also have crates incase of an emergency fosters.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 13 years. I have 6 dogs of my own who are well cared for and get all of my love and attention. Dogs to me are like children who need to be well kept. I do my best to keep your fur friends happy as can be along with their owners. I do not discriminate against any breeds. I love and care for any animals as if they were all the same. I believe in quality service and I strongly recommend a person like me for the job. Things will get done Professionally and correctly. If any one has any questions or concerns I am free and willing to answer any of them at any time of the day. I am currently a college graduate looking for some extra side cash to save up for law school. I am currently a school bus driver for special needs children Monday through Friday. I have prior dog care experience. I my self care for six of my own dogs. I do not discriminate against size or breed of one’s animal. I quite honestly find joy in interacting with animals, it puts a smile on my face like no other job could.

“Kate was so great!! Our dog Bella loved having Kate come to let her out and play ball with her. She was on time.”

“Nicole did an outstanding job taking care of my cat while I was away! She was consistent in making sure his food, litter, and other necessities were well taken care of. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which assured me that everything was going smoothly. My cat was happy and relaxed when I returned, and I could tell he had been in great hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely trust her with my cat again in the future!”

“Veronique was wonderful with my two huskies- I am always super concerned when I leave them alone & stress over their care. She was great at keeping me updated, sent me consistent updates, photos and videos.

About: As you probably saw from the headline, I have recently started to dog sit for friends and family... And it just turns out that I enjoy it. Granted, these dogs are well behaved, and have been raised well. I grew up with parakeets, and I still have them. I like most pet animals, and I want to continue to learn more about how to best take care of them. As I am still learning how best to take care of dogs, it is important to me that we would do a meet and greet before deciding if we are a good fit for each other. I am not a dog trainer by any means, so please be understanding of that, and please be realistic. I am here to hopefully walk or sit for your dog, and I will always do it to the best of my ability - but I will need to be shown how you do things with your dog, and what to expect. As an example, the first dog I sat for had a tendency to dart towards the front door of the house I watched, so I had to be extra careful when going in and out of the house. As a bird owner, I check on them before work, and multiple times after work. When I have sat for dogs, I will feed them in the morning and walk them before work. After work, I would walk them again, as well as check on their water and food. The dog I am sitting for next (which is a family member's dog), I will kennel him at night, as well as when I am going to work. This is at the owner's request. Same idea on schedule for walking him before and after work as well. I am not a host, so this will depend on how your house is setup, as well as if the dog is used to the routine. For a more specific example though... When I sat for a friend's dog recently, I let him sleep on the same bed as me, which was a very new experience. (Would you believe that it tried to climb in my sleeping bag, too?) I did this for the comfort of the dog, even though it wasn't something that would have been my preference. I also made sure to check and top off his water and food about twice a day. Anything else that you expect should be discussed with me, so that we can have similar expectations and be on the same page.

About: Hiya! My name is Jenny and I have a current dog whose name is Kaya. My husband and I just adopted her. She’s 6 years old. I always loved having dogs. They are a real blessing and can be one's best friend. I've potty trained them all and taught them how to shake, sit, turn, stay/wait, come. You know those people who go to parties and hang with the adults? Well you would find me with the dogs 🥳 I work from home most days. Just ask if you have any questions :) I will take dogs on walks during my lunch/break if weather permits I have a fenced yard. We have a good size backyard with a park nearby. With a lot of good walking areas to take them out.
