“Logan is Hank's favorite friend when I can't be home to give him the love he deserves! I so appreciate the thorough photo updates and trustworthy, punctual treatment of my furry son!”

About: I have experience taking care of boarding dogs and cats at an animal hospital. I worked for them for a little over a year and have gotten lots of experience with dogs and cats. I used to raise puppies and train them how to sit and have manners for about two years with my parent. I have dog sitting experience and house sitting experience. I am currently going to school at the UofA full time during the weekdays (my class schedule is listed below keep reading) and would be available most days to come and play with the animals for 30 minutes to an hour in the afternoons and overnight sitting. And on weekends I would be free to play with and walk the animals as needed. Class schedule: Mon 1pm-2pm Tue 9:30am-1pm then 3pm-5pm Wed 9am-2pm then 4pm-5pm Thur 9:30am-4pm Fri 1pm-2pm I do also have a job at the animal shelter for part time. That work schedule will vary but will be no more the 4-6 hours a day. Likely to be on the weekends to avoid conflict with school :) For my personal home, I will not be able to board any pets. Although I am very safe and responsible. My person pet uses a crate just for her safety when I am gone. I am good with crate training as needed for your pets as well. I make sure I clean up after every day and leave the house as clean as I can before you arrive back home to your happy animals!

About: Hi! I've had my cat Olive for 11 years and my dog Bel for 3 years. I have also taken care of close to 70 foster animals mostly kittens, with a few medical fosters, and behavioral issues along the way. I have taken courses on behavioral training for dogs as my own dog is reactive towards dogs, so I am very familiar with dog reactivity. I currently run a small 1 man business from my home and have control over my schedule to provide care to other animals regularly. I also foster other animals from time to time. My own dog is reactive and high energy and needs 3 walks a day usually with a lot of play. My cat is a large maincoon that requires a strict diet and care regimen to keep her pre-diabetes in check.

About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles. My experience includes administering medication, monitoring behavior and health, and providing personal care for pets of all ages. With a Fear-Free Shelter Certification, I understand how to reduce stress and create a positive experience for your pets. I am especially attentive to senior pets and will respond quickly to their needs. I pride myself on reliable communication, maintaining clean living spaces, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I work part time, so I have plenty of availability for any of your pet sitting and boarding needs. I am available for boarding Friday-Monday as early as 9am. I am flexible with my schedule so contact with any times that works for you. During the weekday after 11 am, I have open availability for any dog-walking or sitting needs. When caring for pets, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and as stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, walking, and enrichment instructions carefully. I always make sure pets are in a clean environment with fresh water. I have gated backyard open anytime for supervised playtime. I always monitor behavior, any signs of illness or injury and always communicate updates promptly to owners. I take security very seriously and make sure doors, gates, and windows are closed and locked. My goal is to provided dependable and compassion for all pets under my care so they feel safe and owners have peace of mind while they are away.

“Azul loves Rachel she walks at her pace and Rachel is very responsible. Azul seems happy when she comes back home and when Rachel comes to pick her up for her walk Azul is very happy.”

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My first dog was a Chihuahua who lived to be 18, so I learned a lot about caring for senior dogs and making sure they stay comfortable as they grow older. I've also grown up around horses and farm animals, and I even had a leopard gecko for a couple years. Most of my friends and family have dogs too, so I've spent plenty of time around all kinds of personalities and energy levels. Being around animals has always been something I enjoy! I'm a full time college student, so I have lots of extra time to care for your beloved companions! I have my own transportation and extremely flexible times. I live in an apartment with my Belgian Malinois, so I know firsthand how important exercise, structure, and routine can be, especially for high-energy dogs! I'm very organized and always do my best to stick to each pet's normal schedule so they feel comfortable and at home.

About: I have lots of experience with dogs and cats. Throughout my childhood animals were my escape from reality. My dad bred dogs and I always loved them so much it was hard to say goodbye. In high school I took in a stray cat and it kept getting pregnant so I raised like 5 litters of kittens as well. To be honest I like animals more than people your babies are in good hands. I like to walk and get my steps in everyday so it won’t be much different walking with the doggos. I have dog and catsit for close friends and family but never strangers. Excited to do it! I work from home and my job is very flexible. I am my own boss so I can pretty much take breaks whenever I need to take your fur baby on walks or feed them as well as give them lots of attention when needed. My availability is very open and I love all animals. Since I work from home I’ll always be here to make sure your animal is well cared for and happy. I also go on multiple walks daily anyways to try and stay active so its perfect!!

“Ava has been professional, dependable, and genuinely caring. She’s always punctual, communicative, and detail oriented, and I truly appreciate the photos and updates that give me peace of mind while I’m away.”

“Ally is very responsive and considerate. She helped with walks and check-ins for us for a few months and was a great help! She is always really good at communicating and willing to accommodate schedule/time changes as needed.”

About: I have been a lifelong pet owner, caring for dogs of all different sizes and personalities. I have also looked after friends and family’s pets, always treating them as my own!! I take pride in entertaining and keeping pets happy while their owner is away. As a communication student at the University of Arizona, I have the afternoons, nights, and weekend mornings available. My lifestyle is centered around fitness, wellness, and balance, which allows me to have the energy and flexibility to provide constant love and care for pets. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I promise to make sure that I understand and follow all instructions carefully and create a safe environment for the pet(s) to thrive in. I also respect that each pet possesses unique needs and personality and abide to giving them that attention they request.

About: I have taken care of both puppies and adult dogs. I have a flexible schedule and can drop by more than once daily if needed! I’m retired and have an open schedule. I can do multiple visits daily if needed. I also have the flexibility to do longer visits if needed to provide socialization and comfort for your pet! I don’t have the ability to care for pets in my home, but I’m available to go to my clients’ homes as frequently as needed. My policy is to be very respectful of my client’s space while spending quality time with their pets! I can accomodate any special needs and I follow instructions well!

“Jenn was great with our yellow lab Zane, she walked him every day for a week and sent great photos. She’s extremely prompt in communication and we definitely hope to utilize her services regularly!”

About: I’ve dog sat for friends and family for 10 years. I have a dog and a ‘spicy’ cat and I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life. When I walk into a room, I’ve been known to say hi to the dogs in the room first before the people. I understand dog body language, and I know that they’re all individuals. I also understand that each owner has their own way of doing things, and I’m conciencious of following your rules and routines, because you know what’s best for your animals. I truly enjoy getting to meet new animals and getting to know their personalities. I also enjoy being able to help owners have the best for their pets. Having a pet is a huge responsibility, and I know from personal experience sometimes it feels like you have to choose between being a good pet parent and having a life. But it’s possible to do both, and I’m here to help! Currently my schedule is wide open. I recently graduated, and while I am looking for a job, I have lots of time to care for your pets, whether that be checking on them in your home or taking your dog for a walk. Some weekends I have to travel to Phoenix, but if I am in Tucson, I am happy to care for your pets on the weekends and week days. I keep my calendar updated so make sure to check that out! When caring for your pets in your home, I will follow your directions. In previous roles, I have stopped to care for pets every couple days, once a day, or twice a day, depending on what was requested. I am happy to fill food bowls as necessary or feed specific quantities of food at specific times. I also don’t mind cleaning litter boxes or ensuring automatic litter boxes are operating properly. I am also happy to clean up pet messes they may leave behind, such as tracking litter, spilling food, or potty accidents.

About: Ive had many pets throughout my life. Majority being dogs. Ive had dogs of many sizes and breeds. Ive had three pitbulls, three chihuahuas, two german shepherds, and one saint bernard!! I work part time, my shifts usually being from 6 am - 1 pm on weekdays, which gives me much of my day to take care of your pets! Weekends are a bit more difficult due to the fluctuations in my work schedule but I'm pretty casual when it comes to working around things! I have a fenced yard, its not too big but there is space! I can also take your pet for a walk if they yard is not good enough! I will not leave your pet in a crate but instead allow them to roam freely (Unless you specifically want them to be crated).

“Thomas has been a godsend with a very busy Aussie pup and my older gal. They're at the door as soon as they hear his car turn the corner and are returned happy and ready for a nap although the puppy would follow him home if given a choice.”

“Hillary was outstanding! Our dog Zach can be a real handful and Hillary managed him beautifully. I loved the photos she texted to me during their walks. I knew she was taking good care of him, which gave me peace of mind while I was away.”

About: I’ve been watching and caring for pets since I was little and have always had a love for animals. I’ve been taking care of neighbors and friends pets for years without any issues. I also have two fur babies of my own who receive plenty of walks, attention, and affection, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as well. I’m currently enrolled at the University of Arizona studying medicine, and I’ve taken several animal related classes simply because of my passion for animals. I’m a very patient, reliable, and attentive person who will treat your pet with the same care and love as my own. I’m currently a student at the University of Arizona studying medicine and im very free in the afternoons and nights to care for pets. And my schedule is free for the weekends to care for animals. I am very attentive and patient when it comes to caring for animals. I try to be observant to my dogs behaviors to see if soemthing is off and I try to keep a decently consistent schedule with feeding and potty breaks. I also make sure they have enough water especially in Arizona heat.

About: I've had pets since I was a baby. My mother had a little wading pool and she used to put our pet ducklings in the water to swim with me. When I was five, I started bringing home injured animals. I've worked with everything from skunks to raptors to more common animals like dogs, cats, and horses. When I got old enough, I started volunteering for different rescue organizations. I will walk your pet frequently and give lots of cuddles. Pets are our children and soulmates. They teach us how we should be--they are angels that inhabit the earth for a short time. For important details: I only work with one client at a time so that I can supervise and care properly for your pet. I work remotely from home for a governmental organization, so I am home and available. My backyard has a 6 foot wall but no pet is left unsupervised. I do not smoke or allow others in the house when I am boarding a dog, as you do not know that person. I treat all my clients and their pets the way I’d want to be treated. As I said, I work remotely, so I am home with my dog during the day. We go to coffeehouses together to work sometimes and have plenty of playtime in the yard. She gets a really long walk at sunrise and has little ones throughout the day as well. Her happiness is my priority. I make sure she goes to her vet regularly and gets groomed, so that she can be healthy and feel her best. I have a large, walled backyard garden full of lots of places for a pet to sniff, yet it’s safe enough for them to explore. My dog does not go out there unsupervised. At sunset to night, I walk her on the leash back there to ensure predators don’t find her. She is a member of my family, and has her own special places and pillows to make her feel safe and comfortable.

“Nohemi did a great job with my anxious and energetic pit mix. She was even able to take him running to get out his excess energy!”
