Questions about pet care in North Ogden.

Do you walk dogs near the North Ogden Divide or Pioneer Trail?
We walk dogs throughout North Ogden neighborhoods, including areas near the foothills trailheads. Our midday walks are on-leash neighborhood routes. If you're interested in trail walks, mention it during your meet and greet.
Can you take my dog to the North Ogden Dog Park at 850 E 2600 N?
Dog park visits aren't part of our standard walk service, off-leash group environments add variables that don't fit our structured midday routine. Our walks focus on consistent, low-stress exercise tailored to your dog.
My vet is Coldwater Animal Hospital on Washington Blvd, will you coordinate with them in an emergency?
Yes. We keep your vet's contact on file and will reach out immediately if something comes up during a visit. Coldwater Animal Hospital is just minutes from most of our North Ogden clients.
Do you charge extra based on the city I live in?
No. Our pricing is the same across every city we serve. See current pricing or ask during your free meet and greet.
Who covers visits if someone on my care team is out?
We're a team, not a single sitter. Your care team is consistent and trained, and any team member who visits already knows your pet's care plan through Time to Pet before they arrive. You'll always know who's coming and see a photo report after every visit.
Are your sitters all local to the Ogden area?
Yes. Every team member is a W-2 employee who lives in and around Ogden. We're a local team serving the same neighborhoods we live in.
