Dog Sitting in Cave Creek

“Leilani helped me out caring for Kane last minute after my sitter pulled out when I was out of the country. I appreciate her so much for taking the time very last minute.”

About: Hi! I’m Joe — a lifelong dog owner and pet-care professional with over four years of hands-on experience at Partners Dog Training, where I assisted with everything from puppy fundamentals to regression cases. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, and I love helping pups feel confident, safe, and understood. Whether your dog needs daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or training support, I bring patience, structure, and a whole lot of love. My goal is to build long-term relationships with families who want a dependable, friendly caregiver they can trust year-round. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my day — it truly shapes my day. I like to start my mornings with my first walks, giving each dog a calm, positive start. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a structured walk, or checking in on a pup who needs a little extra reassurance, beginning my day with dogs sets the tone for everything else. Throughout the day, I rotate between walks, drop-ins, and daycare clients. I make sure every dog gets individual attention, because I want them to feel seen, safe, and cared for. My training background helps me keep the day steady and organized, and I use small moments — like waiting at crosswalks or giving water breaks — to reinforce good habits and build trust. Afternoons are usually when I see my long-term or repeat clients, which is one of my favorite parts of this work. It gives me time to build real relationships with the dogs and their families, and to understand each dog’s personality on a deeper level. That consistency is important to me, and I know it matters to the families I help. By the end of the day, I wrap up with any last walks or training touch-ups, making sure every pup I spent time with feels comfortable and settled before I head home. Caring for dogs isn’t just part of my routine — it’s what I’m passionate about, and I truly love ending each day knowing I made their day better. Safety is always my top priority. With four years of hands-on experience assisting at Partners Dog Training, I’ve learned how to read body language, manage different temperaments, and create a structured environment where dogs feel secure. Whether I’m on a walk, doing a drop-in, or caring for a pup in daycare, I take the time to make sure every dog is comfortable and set up for success. I’m also big on building trust — not just with the dog, but with the family behind them. I communicate clearly, follow routines closely, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that letting someone care for your pet is a big decision, and I want you to feel confident knowing your pup is with someone who genuinely cares about their well-being. Creating a calm, positive environment is part of every interaction I have. I use patience, gentle structure, and plenty of encouragement to help dogs feel relaxed and happy. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I take the time to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe every step of the way.

“Lyla is the best pet sitter I have ever had. She went above and beyond to take very good care of my cat Alexia for 30 days. My cat is 18 years old, she previously had two seizures about seven months ago, and she had another episode while we were out of town. Lyla, acted very professional and cared really for Alexia. She called me to inform me, she called the Vet clinic, and the emergency pet hospital. She stayed longer with Alexia to make sure she was feeling better after the episode, and she helped her recover and calm down. Lyla, treated my cat and my house with a great respect, Alexia looked cleaned and happy and the house was tidy and clean. I will hire Lyla again and again, she is very nice, professional and reliable. She could literally handle any issues and she is willing to do anything to make your babies happy. Thank you very much Lyla for being such a great person.”

“I searched for the right dog sitter for my English Bulldog Gigi and my little rescue mix Petey. I found Nicholas and was not disappointed! He has a calm, confident demeanor that works well with being a caretaker of dogs. In my instance it helped that he has English Bulldogs himself so he knows that they can be nippy, protective and scrappy. He demonstrated a keen sense of how to interact with Gigi and each visit he made progress with her. His detailed recaps of his visits gave me a great peace of mind while I was away. He is thorough, caring, responsive and trustworthy. He takes care of my dogs as if they were his own. I truly appreciate his ability to take care of my two and am looking forward to continued use of his services. I highly recommend Nicholas to take of your pets!”

About: Hi, I’m Mya! I have a strong passion for animals and have spent the last seven years in 4-H caring for and working with a variety of animals. Through that experience, I’ve learned responsibility, patience, and how to properly care for animals of all personalities and needs. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just sitting with them and keeping them company. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away, and I always do my best to give them that same level of care and attention. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I’m comfortable adjusting to each animal’s routine, energy level, and temperament. Whether your pet needs lots of activity and playtime or prefers a calm, quiet environment, I’m happy to meet their needs. My goal is to provide reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitting so you can have peace of mind knowing your animals are in good hands. I’m currently working part-time. I’ve been in 4-H for 7 years, working with a wide range of animals and people. I can do walks and help with medication I am respectful and can communicate within 24 hours or less. I am a certified equine light therapist and can do anything treatment and therapy you ask

“I highly recommend Kat she did a fantastic job taking care of my two dogs. She is very caring and you can tell she loves animals. I look forward to booking her again when I need someone to drop-in on my pups.”

“Kennedy did an amazing job. She did exactlly what I needed and spent the entire 30 minutes with my cat, Koko; brushing him and swiffering all his hair while also cleaning out his litter box and sweeping up any litter that he tracked around the area. She always took pictures for to me to let me know how Koko was doing and that he was cared for. I appreciate Kennedy and would recommend her to any pet owner.”

About: I’ve had a dog since before I was 10. With the recent passing of our oldest dog, I currently have two dogs - one quiet & small (Gryffin), and one big & rambunctious (Charlie). I love them both dearly! My fiancée also has two dogs that I like to claim as my adopted pets (Presley & Rudy). I’m currently studying for the bar exam (certifying exam for lawyers) and am looking for some cash while I spend 40 hours a week studying as my full time job. This much studying is a lot of work and I’d love to have study companions get me through it! I have had dogs of all different dispositions (e.g., the reserved, the crazy, the explorer, etc.) and have the patience and compassion to love them all and ensure they all get the attention they deserve and need.

“Emma is an excellent caretaker for my kitty! My kitty isn’t always friendly, but she was very comfortable with Emma and would allow Emma to pet her. Emma sent me photos every day which always makes me very happy. She also went the extra step and cleaned a blanket that the cat had thrown a hairball on. I really appreciate her taking the time to do this. I highly recommend Emma. I feel very confident having her in my home and looking after my fur baby.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12. Family, friends, and neighbors have all relied on me to provide care and dedicated companionship to their pets such as walking, keeping company, and overnight boarding. I am comfortable with all animals and have experience with animals of all ages, ranging from under 1 year old to 12 years old. I am more than happy to adapt and learn how to care best for your pet. When I care for them, I will dedicate all of my time to care for, play with, walk, and love your animal. I would also love to take them to the dog park to interact with other animals while you are away! I grew up having dogs of my own - a chocolate lab, boxer, and pitbull mix who were all full of energy! I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am very flexible and would be happy to work with you. When in your home, I would love to take your pets for walks, take them to dog parks; anything that you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I have a very flexible schedule, I will almost always be available to care for your pets. For any last minute/urgent plans, I should be able to easily accommodate them due to my flexibility. I always keep an eye on the pets ensuring their utmost comfort and safety. I am quickly able to identify signs of safety hazards, discomfort and/or distress in pets.

“Samantha took great care of our little fur babies! She was available on short notice, scheduled a meet and greet and won over our nervous rescue pups! She’s very reliable and your dogs will like her calm and caring attention! Thanks, Sam!”

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I know the importance of caring for them like they are mine so owners can enjoy the time away from their fur babies. I have provided pill form medication and will be willing to provide this service as well. I am a work from home employee and can-do drop-in appointments and walks. I am available everyday morning, afternoon, and early evenings. Pill form medication able to help with. I currently have 3 small dogs that all are rescues. Daily play time and walks are a must in our household for both their well-being and mine. 3 times a day feeding with medication in the evening is our routine.

About: 5 years of pet sitting experience, I provide loving and reliable care for your pets. Whether it's daily visits, dog walking, or overnight stays, your pets will be in safe hands. I’m currently in nursing school part time so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available all weekends, and weekdays after 3:00 pm I care for pets in your home by ensuring they are fed, exercised, and given loving attention, while maintaining their daily routines and addressing any special needs they may have.

About: Ever since I was young, I’ve taken care of my family’s chickens, snakes, and dogs. My neighbors also had dogs, horses, and many other animals that I’ve petsit. I loved dogs so much that I walked my neighbors dogs for free since it would be good exercise for me and for the dogs themselves. Whether cuddling or playing and even doing the dirty work like cleaning up poop or throw up, I will love your dogs like I love my own. If you’re booking me for house sitting, I will walk your dog free of charge. :) I have dog walking in the morning and tend to go to the gym at night for a few hours or a date night once in awhile, I won’t be away from your pet for more than 4-6 hours according to your wishes! To make sure our furry friends are safe, healthy, and happy I would love to have a meet n greet with the owner and their pet to go over their feedings and routine before a booking. Just like I did with my dog, I’ll give your dog my constant care and attention, giving them ample affection. For dogs I’ve taken care of at my neighbors house or my clients house, I respect whether or not they’re allowed on the couches or the bed. If they want to play I could spend hours playing with them, of course stopping when I see them becoming tired or overheated. I would also like to call myself a part time maid since I like to leave the house cleaner than I found it. I love going on walks or runs with dogs to release their energy and I’m careful to avoid other dogs if they tend to be reactive.
