About: I grew up with and have been around dogs all my life. I have absolute unconditional love for them! I have experience with dog walking/sitting, special feeding instructions/accommodations, walks, and puppy behavior!! I am a college student on summer break until mid August! So my schedule is mainly open. Will update my availability once I am back at school. Going to school in Tempe, so I will be able to continue caring for pets in the same area as I currently am! I have a fenced yard, an energetic 4 year old golden doodle, and a 14 year old chihuahua wiener dog mix!! I know how to handle relaxed senior dogs, but also playful energetic pups! My house is in a a safe neighborhood and I provide a comforting environment!

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life. Over the years I’ve seen many different pup personalities & now have two dogs of my own. My husband and I consider them family, and I’d love to give you peace of mind that your pup will be treated with love & kindness! I currently work from home & would love to incorporate some dog walks/pet sitting into my routine - helping you where I can, and helping me stay active! ☺️ I’d be happy to visit/take out/feed your pups while you’re away, and would love to provide you peace of mind that they’re being taken care of!

About: I grew up in a household with cats and freshwater fish, I currently have one cat, and many freshwater fish and shrimp. One of my first "gigs" from a young was stopping in on neighborhood pets, letting them in or out, taking care of cat boxes, and putting out fresh food and water. I have some experience with aging pets. My cat, who I adopted three years ago, isalmost 17, and while still very active, requires special care for kidney disease. I love dogs too, and while I do not have any in my home currently, I am experienced or familiar with different types of training and walking. I can do water changes on freshwater aquariums, even for sensitive fish, and as long as you can provide care instructions, I can at a minimum feed your saltwater friends, and top off evaporation so the water does over salinated. I am currently self employed an set my own hours, as long as I am not booked for specific times with another pet, I can visit on your schedule. For pets staying in my home, they'll be given space and opportunities to interact with me and my cat. If necessary or requested, I do have a very large spare room that pets can be sequestered in with their own food, water, queen size bed, and litter box. At present, I'm not sure how my cat behaves with other animals, however to ensure your pet's visit is a safe and comfortable one, my cat will remain separate from visiting pets for at least the first 24 hours. I do have a side yard that is fully paved/gravel, and the gate does not always latch, as such any dogs staying with me will be indoors most of the time, with frequent "comfort" breaks/walks to avoid messes. I do allow pets on furniture/beds. Bedrooms will be closed during the day, but my room will usually be open at night. If doing drop in/walking checks: Each visit is largely up to the pet, of course dogs need to be let out to do their business, or in to shelter from our weather. If your fur baby wants to cuddle or play that's what we'll do, absent any special instructions (i.e. a dog with a medical condition that requires them to limit their running, or a cat that needs to be woken up for play time/exercise during the day). Even fish like to interact with their humans, and a change in routine or the arrival of a stranger can be stressful. At a minimum, your pet will get fresh food and water, be cleaned up after if needed, and for dogs ample outside time.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals - dogs and cats! Throughout the years, I have learned how to read their body language, respect their boundaries, and understand that each animal has their own personality and needs. When caring for someone else’s animal, I treat them like my own. I make sure they feel loved, I am attentive, and I am patient with them. I am currently working a full time job. I have a lot of availability in the evenings after 4:30 and I am free anytime on the weekends. I do have a cat at home and I make sure he feels peaceful and comfortable at all times. I keep his feeding routine as consistent as possible - same feeding time, same type of food and litter, and any other special rituals he is used to.

About: I have been taking care of animals for 3 years. I am an expert at reading their body language, and I will always make sure they are comfortable. I often walk my neighbor's dog whenever they ask me to. I am on summer break so I have plenty of free time to look after animals. I playfully interact with pets while I also allow them to have their own personal space and boundaries. I will walk your dog in any way you desire.

“I found Brian when my full time pet sitter had car trouble. Brian is fantastic! He sent daily reports and pictures. He is extremely detailed and made sure the dogs were in excellent company and care. He's wonderful!”


“Gabriel was so helpful in a pinch for me! I needed someone to let my pups out while I was working and he was able to come last minute. He sends the best photos and clearly loves dogs!”


About: As an avid dog and cat lover I've grown up throughout my childhood and into my adulthood taking care of 5 family dogs including a poodle, Maltese, shih tzu, shih poo, and bichon frise. I've also grown up with cats all my life and my cats have grown up playing with our family dogs. I'm a very attentive and caring dig and cat owner and I love to walk small to medium sized dogs. I have taken care of a couple German shepherds but I feel more comfortable with smaller dogs since I am very petite. I've been living in San Francisco for 2 years, but I am originally from Fresno. I am available for mornings, afternoons, and early evenings for dog and cat walking, sitting, or boarding. As far as dog play activities I love throwing around a frisbee or any other dog toys and love giving them treats if that's ok with the owner. I'm currently a part time student so right now I have a lot of time to give pet care during the week including weekends including nights. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and comforting as possible. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of love and attention, and that their space is kept clean and safe. I'll respect your home as if it were my own clean, secure and calm. I'll also keep you updated with pictures, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away!

About: I've had a deep connection with animals for as long as I can remember. As a baby, I grew up with a loyal golden retriever, who was incredibly protective of me. When I was just two years old, I wandered off on my own, and she stayed by my side the entire time gently guiding me away from danger, especially the road. That moment left a lasting impression on me, and ever since I felt a strong bond with animals and a passion for caring for them. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to accommodate your needs whenever you require care for your beloved pets, I genuinely enjoy pet sitting and take pride in providing attentive, loving care to every animal I look after. Although I live in a pet free apartment, I would love the opportunity to care for your pets in their own home. Whether it's staying overnight or stopping by for a few hours, I'm happy to provide companionship, playtime, feeding and any other care they may need.

Alta Mira pet parents share their Rover experiences
Paige was very responsive, spent quality time with my dog and provided helpful updates. Will hire again!

Felicia did a great job taking care of our babies! She gave us regular updates and pictures. We would definitely let her care for our pets in the future!

Great babysitter! My air conditioner went out, she called my apartments emergency line and she stayed with my kitties until it was fixed! Amazing care for my babies!

Stephanie did an amazing job carrying for the kitties like she always does! I was on vacation for a few weeks and returned home with happy cats. She’s the best!

Brittany is the absolute best! She takes the best care of Lola and gives the most wonderful updates and photos! I honestly enjoy getting them so much while traveling, it makes our trips so much better knowing Brittany is taking care of our cat!

Thank you again for helping check in our fur babies. I know Roxy really enjoys it! And we appreciate it!

Alyssa was great checking in on my cat for an extended period. Always giving reports on how the cat was doing and how the visit went. She even went as far as watering a plant on her visits when needed. I much appreciate her attention to detail and sharing information to let me know my cat was being taken care of well!

I would give Rachael 20 stars if I could! She is so awesome with my Dog. I will definitely be using her many times! Thank you Rachael!

Mallory is great with our cat and responds quickly to any requests. We rebook as often as we can with her

Alyssa was an absolute lifesaver! After a previous sitter canceled last minute, she stepped in on short notice to care for our cat, Sandy, while we were away for two weeks. She went above and beyond, providing daily updates, making sure Sandy was happy and well cared for, and even taking out the trash to prevent odors while we were gone. We came home to a content kitty and a clean space. We’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend Alyssa to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and thoughtful sitter!

Michael was an absolute angel and saved our butts when we needed a sitter last-minute. He went above and beyond during his visits, and my cats loved him! Thank you so much!

Elvira is the best sitter I have ever had for my cat. She really loves the animals she take care of. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting.

Megan is incredible! I trust her fully with my dog, Otso, and can tell that Otso adores her. Highly recommend if you are looking for someone who will take care of your dog, play with them, and communicate with you regularly on their well-being.

Lyndsee was available last minute when we were in a bind and was fantastic! Our pups warmed up to her quickly and she kept in touch each day! Would highly recommend and will use again in the future!

Sandy was my first pet sitter and she set the bar do high. Thank you so much for keeping me updated and easing my mine while I was on vacation. You’re amazing. Scottie and Charlie thanks you too!

Lyndsi did a great job of taking care of Charles! She made sure his food and water were always topped off and gave him lots of love while we were away.

Molly did a fantastic job of watching my fiancé and I’d dog while we were on a cruise! She is very professional and we loved being able to completely disconnect without worrying about if our dog is being well taken care of.

Alexandra takes such a great care of my cat every time I travel. She is very friendly and kitty is always heathy when I am back. Definitely recommend her!

Shelby is amazing! Our dog is a sweet boy but very reactive when he first meets people, and Shelby works with dogs enough that she knew how to handle him! Her report cards and photos were the highlight of my day while we were away from our boy! I personally would definitely use Shelby again as our sitter :)
