We know Ogden.
Ogden is our home. We've walked these streets in every season, in every weather. From the East Bench foothills down to the historic brick of 25th Street, there isn't a neighborhood we haven't worked.
That depth of local knowledge means your care team already knows how to find your trailhead, doesn't get surprised by a closed road in Ogden Canyon, and already knows which vet you'd want called if something came up.

Questions about pet care in Ogden.
Do you serve all of Ogden, including the East Bench?
Yes, we serve all Ogden City neighborhoods including the East Bench, Downtown, Historic 25th Street, Lorin Farr, Bonneville Hills, and every area within the city limits. If you're on the border of Ogden and a neighboring city, just ask. We likely cover your street.
Can you walk my dog on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail or River Parkway?
Absolutely. Our dog walkers are familiar with Ogden's trail system and can incorporate trail walks into your dog's routine. Just let us know your preferences during the meet and greet.
Do you serve areas near Weber State University or McKay-Dee Hospital?
Yes, those neighborhoods are well within our Ogden service area. Many of our clients are faculty, staff, and medical professionals who need reliable daily dog walking or pet sitting while they're at work.
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.
