Away Home & Pet Care provides professional in-home pet sitting in Ogden, Utah and surrounding Weber County communities.
We visit your home 2 to 4 times a day, so your pet never leaves their own environment or routine.
All sitters are W-2 employees (not independent contractors) who are background-checked, bonded, insured, Pet CPR and First Aid certified, Fear-Free trained, and members of Pet Sitters International.
Our local pet sitter team serves Ogden, South Ogden, North Ogden, Harrisville, Washington Terrace, Riverdale, Roy, South Weber, and Uintah within a 10-mile radius of Ogden.
We also offer daily dog walking and dedicated cat sitting for Ogden families.
You're about to leave town, and the hardest part isn't packing. It's finding someone you can actually trust inside your home, caring for your pet, while you're unreachable. If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.
You've been burned before. A last-minute cancellation. A sitter who goes quiet for days. A pet who's visibly off for a week after you get home. Your pet's care deserves to be handled like a professional commitment, not a favor between trips.
We're a professional pet sitting company with W-2 employees who show up on time, send you updates after every visit, and treat your home like their own. That's the standard here, not the exception.
The anxiety of leaving a pet behind is real. You're checking your phone at the airport. You're wondering if the sitter actually showed up. You're calculating how many hours it's been since your dog ate.
Away Home & Pet Care was built for exactly this. Professional in-home care that keeps your pet's routine intact, sends you proof after every visit, and has never once left a client without coverage.
"You should be able to enjoy your trip. That's what we're here for."

Every pet sitting visit is a full care experience, not a quick check-in and out. Here's what your pet gets every single time we show up.
The Away Home & Pet Care standardIncluded on every visit
We follow your pet's exact feeding schedule and administer medications as directed. Your pet's routine stays completely intact while you're away.
Every visit includes dedicated play and affection time. We're not just checking a box; we're keeping your pet happy, stimulated, and emotionally secure.
We check that doors are locked, lights are as you left them, and your home is secure on every departure. Your home is cared for just as carefully as your pet.
You'll receive photos and a detailed visit report after every single visit through the Time to Pet app. You'll know exactly how your pet is doing.
If anything unusual happens, a change in behavior, a health concern, anything, you hear about it the same day. We don't wait until you get home.
Every member of our team is background-checked, CPR and pet first aid certified, and trained to our exact care standards. You know exactly who is in your home.
Visit complete. Photos and notes sent to Time to Pet.
In-home sitting keeps your pet in the environment they know. Their bed, their smells, their favorite spot on the couch. The research on pet stress is clear: familiar environments reduce anxiety.
If your pet has ever come home from boarding anxious, off their food, or not themselves for days, in-home sitting is worth trying. Most clients who switch don't go back.
Every visit follows a consistent routine, so your pet always knows what to expect.
We enter using your secure key or lockbox, and the visit check-in is logged immediately in Time to Pet.
Meals are served exactly per your instructions. Water bowls are refreshed, food bowls cleaned. For cats, litter boxes are scooped on every visit.
Any oral medications, topical treatments, or supplements are administered exactly as directed. Every dose is logged in the visit report.
Dogs get walks or yard time. Cats get interactive play. Every pet gets real attention and engagement, not just a quick pat on the head.
We check doors, windows, lights, and thermostat. Mail and packages are brought inside. Your home is left exactly as you want it.
Before we leave, we send a detailed visit report through Time to Pet with photos, notes on behavior, appetite, and anything worth noting.
Whether you're traveling for work, recovering from surgery, or just need reliable daily care.
You travel often and need someone truly reliable.
You can't afford a last-minute cancellation when you're boarding a plane. Showing up is the job, because your pet's care is a professional commitment. Many frequent travelers also add house checks to their service plan for complete coverage.
Your pet needs extra attention right now.
Post-surgery, chronic illness, or senior care. We follow vet instructions precisely and communicate any changes immediately. Your pet gets the careful, attentive care they need.
Your pet does best in their own home.
Many pets do best at home. Staying home means your pet keeps their routine, their scent, their comfort, and you come back to a happy, settled animal. Read more about our professional team and why in-home care is different.
You have more than one pet to coordinate.
Dogs, cats, birds, fish. We handle multi-pet households with ease. Every pet gets individual attention on every visit, and we track each one's needs separately.
Not every pet care service operates the same way. Here's what professional in-home care actually means.

Real Google reviews from clients who trust us in their homes while they travel.
"We are SO glad that we found Robert and Away Home & Pet Care of Utah!! We were on a trip for about 11 days, and Robert (and Bridget) took such a great care of our anxious pup, Evelyn. Evelyn is nervous around new people, but it was obvious from the start that Robert was experienced, caring, and professional."
"Robert with Away Home & Pet Care was AMAZING! We were going to be out of town for a week & didn't know what to do with our dogs since the people who usually watch them for us were going with us also."
"Robert and Jaimee at Away Home & Pet Care of Utah are the best! They exceeded our expectations and took care of our pets with the utmost care. We loved the daily updates and it really helped quell our anxiety about being in a new area and headed out of town for the first time."
