“Shawna is excellent at communicating. We are so grateful for her help with walking Goose while we were away for a few days. We appreciate the thorough report cards. Goose seems so happy on their walks. Thank you, Shawna!”

“Son was great! His response time is awesome, was available for a meet and greet last minute. Sent amazing pictures and videos! Gave lots of updates. Will definitely use Son again for future help!”

“Qi and her daughters were great! They took care of Rexie, a siberian husky, as if he was their own. Rexie came back happy and tired from their walk which what I needed. Qi was also a great and fast communicator. I had to move our walk time to 1 hour later due to a forgotten doc’s apt and Qi was flexible and kind enough to push the walk and meet my schedule on a short notice. I enjoyed my interaction with her and recommend her to anybody with a high energy dog!”

“She's awesome, can handle my 3 bog dogs on a walk and they loved her! I have an intact high strung German Shepard, a crazy malinois, and an old boxer pittie mix. She can handle your big breeds!”

As a dedicated pet owner, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of my furry companions, and I ensure that their needs are met consistently. I create a safe and comfortable environment for the dog I look after.

I maintain a daily routine that includes feeding pets at specific times and taking them for regular walks and playtime. There is a fenced dog park in our neighborhood that I can bring the dogs to everyday. I provide plenty of love, attention, and cuddles to make them feel at home.

About: Saturday Grace has been an avid cat-lover all their life. They currently live with mostly senior cats and have lots of experience with subcutaneous fluids, medication, and general senior cuddling. But fear not! Saturday has also fostered many kittens, including those abandoned by their mamas and in need of bottle feeding. Saturday is an all ages cat-carer. Saturday has recently discovered their love of dogs as well. They love providing care, short walks, and lots and lots of snuggles to their canine friends. Saturday does best with small and medium dogs. They only take large dogs if they don't need walks. When they are not entirely absorbed by pet-cuddles, Saturday can be found reading, writing, or attempting not to kill their garden. As a full-time pet sitter, your fur babies are the focus of my day. I'm available for drop-in visits either morning (6am-noon), afternoon (noon-5pm), or evening (5pm-10pm). If I'm house sitting for your pets, we'll come up with an agreed upon schedule for when they need me home. I appreciate being able to care for pets in their own environments where they feel safe.

We will also discuss sleeping arrangements, if that applies.

We have taken care of friends' dogs when they go on vacation and my husband grew up having pet dogs. The children especially love animals and will spend time playing with and caring for your dog. We live in a quiet neighborhood, so your dog will also have a relaxing place to be if s/he is more of a laid back type. The neighborhood also has other dogs, so if your dog is the social type, there are plenty of friends around! I am available to care for your dog throughout the day! I always offer a walk first thing in the morning, throughout the day, and right before bedtime. I have many return clients who entrust us with caring for their animals!

“Kelly did an awesome job with my dog. My dog has a lot of energy and have started leaving him home instead of doggy daycare. I really wanted him to get a nice long walk in during the half hour visit. Kelly would walk him a mile during this time and follows all my instructions. She is patient with my requests and takes photos of her visit. I’ll be continuing to use Kelly every day I work, as long as she is available. Thank you Kelly.”

About: I’ve had the joy of caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and fluff levels — from bouncy Corgis and charming Shih Tzus to elegant British Shorthairs, cuddly Ragdolls, and my own quirky Devon Rex. With over two years of hands-on care for my Devon Rex and plenty of experience looking after friends’ pets, I know how to adapt to each personality — whether it’s a playful pup who loves strolls, a gentle cat who prefers quiet cuddles, or a little diva who demands both!

I’m available on weekdays between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM — the perfect time for midday walks, play sessions, and drop-in visits.

I keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home. I follow all your instructions, secure doors and gates, use leashes outdoors, and maintain a clean, cozy environment. You can relax knowing your furry friends are in caring, reliable hands.
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life — from barnyard pets to beloved family cats and dogs — and I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone new. As a proud pet parent to a playful Frenchie and a sweet rescue cat, I know firsthand the love, patience, and consistency pets need to feel safe and happy.

Alum Rock-East Foothills dog parents share their Rover experiences
Son is an incredibly friendly and kind human being. We loved having him over for Joy’s walks. He goes above and beyond what’s requested of him. He comes fully prepared with leash and poop bags and happily walks him for extra 15-30 mins without asking for anything in return. We highly highly recommend him and would continue to contact him for all our future needs.

Elizabeth was an absolute lifesaver by taking my last minute request to walk and feed my dog. She offered a meet and greet and ensured she was familiar with unlocking and locking the door and about what I needed her to do for Macho. She sent me an update at the end of her visit and assured me I didn't need to rush to respond immediately. She spent more time than she had to and I greatly appreciate it. Elizabeth is courteous and kind and polite and this was my first experience using this service but it will definitely not be my last. Thank you again!

Anna is amazing with my baby Peppa! From the start, she was warm, reliable, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. Peppa absolutely adores his walks with Anna and always comes back happy and relaxed. We really appreciated the updates and photos she sent after the walk, it gave us peace of mind knowing Peppa was in such good hands. Highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

I’m at work 12 hours a day so I hired Jaynee to walk my golden doodle while I’m at work and it’s the best decision I’ve made! I had the pleasure of seeing my dogs reaction to Jaynee when she arrived for Maggie’s walk and I’ve never seen Maggie so excited! She loves her time with Jaynee and it puts my mind at ease knowing Maggie is in good hands! I highly recommend Jaynee for your pets needs. It’s obvious she cares about her clients and she always sends me updates on Maggie!
