House Sitting in Cordes Lakes

About: I’ve taken care of pets of all shapes and sizes: fish, chickens, goats, horses, and of course cats and dogs! I started working with dogs and training them when I was 7 years old in county 4-H, and then when I was in high school I assisted with puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind, where I helped raisers socialize young puppies from 10 weeks to 18 months before they went back for further training. I’ve helped family and friends raise puppies they can live with and love, and my own dogs have been the best part of my life. I’m a current graduate student at Embry-Riddle, and I’m reliable, safe, and experienced in animal care. I’d love to work with you and your fuzzy family members! I work early shifts, so I’m available most of the afternoon and Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I love taking walks in the early morning, before it gets too hot and the sidewalk is still nice and comfortable. My favorite thing is letting the dog set the pace, and sniff to their heart’s content. I can visit most homes in Prescott and Prescott Valley during the workday if needed, and have flexibility for other events or longer trips if needed. I make sure to keep as close to the expected routine as possible whenever I pet sit. Everyone likes to know when they have to get up in the morning or when breakfast is coming, and your pets are no different. I’m comfortable working with dogs of varying personalities, and can understand when they might be more open to play or socialization, versus when they just need some calm and relaxation.

“Jennifer is absolutely amazing. She took on a rare request with a smile. Stella definitely has a new best friend and Frisbee buddy! She always kept in touch with great photos as well, it almost felt as if I had never left. Thanks Jennifer!! Stella & John”

“Zoie was absolutely amazing with our dogs and cats. She stepped in last minute and was incredibly flexible when our plans unexpectedly changed and we got stuck needing an extra night. Knowing our pets were in such great hands made a stressful situation so much easier. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared for our animals like they were her own. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and felt completely at ease the entire time we were away. We’re so grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and help on such short notice. Highly recommend Zoie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to watch their pets!”

About: I have 10 years of experience working on my parents ranch. I know how to care and work with farm animals including hamsters, rabbits, cats. I care for my farm animals on a daily but I am flexible to schedules. I can house sit on the weekends or the week days. I have raised my animals sense birth. They are my number one priority in my world. When I watch someone else animals, I act and care for them like they are my own.

“First time I've used a pet sitter so was a little nervous at first. Zack was great at communicating and sending pics. 'Kids' were perfectly happy when I got home and house was immaculate. Thank you Zack for peace of mind when I travel from now on!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for about three years now. I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and teaching basic commands (sit, stay, wait). I also have experience with dogs that have epilepsy and take medications, as the dog that I have has epilepsy and takes medications, so I know how to handle seizures and tremors when they occur. I work Friday-Monday pretty much all day - but I am free for a limited time after 7PM on those days. Or I am free Tuesday mornings and all day Wednesday-Thursday! I have successfully crate trained my dog within my home and am comfortable crate training when needed, necessary, or asked of me by a client. I take your fur baby's safety just as seriously as I take my own dog's safety.

“Jessica was great with our four dogs and spent a lot of time with them at our house even though the house/dog sitting was over the Christmas holiday. We will definitely use her again.”

“Gary and April were excellent in every way. coming over to meet Phineas prior to staying over for two nights. 10 stars! Showing up on time always with a smile on their face! 10 stars and finally the piece of mind that I didn’t have to worry about my baby while I was away for two nights. 10 stars!! Thank you Gary and April!”

“We couldn't have been happier having Malina as a pet sitter for Josie. It was our very first experience doing all of this with her. Malina stayed overnight and was very conscientious about keeping things in order. She came over before the stay to get acquainted with us and Josie and discuss schedules and routines, so Josie was familiar with her when she came over. She works remotely and was here the entire time. It sounded like they had a wonderful time together and Malina was very communicative with us, sending pictures and texts. She had wonderful comments about Josie. Josie loved her and so do we! Wouldn't hesitate to have her sit for us again.”

“Kami was amazing with Jake and Tasha. She made sure both Jake and Tasha got their daily medicine and all their daily puppy loving. Kami stayed with the puppies in our house for 5 days so the dogs would be secure and safe in their normal environment. Tasha and Jake were happy when we got home, however they definitively seemed sad when Kami left. Kami will be our number one choice from now out. She's similar in cost to taking the pups to a kennel, however this way the puppies get to stay comfortable in their own home and there was someone at home to bring the Amazon packages into the house. Lastly, I think the house was cleaner when we got home than when we left. Thank You so much Kami. Tasha (65 lbs) and Jake (100 lbs).”

“Heidi was at our house with our dog Hank. She is an angel, she was amazing with him and always sent us pictures and reports how he was doing. Hank was very attached with her that now he is missing them so much. Thank you again, we will call you again for the next time.”

“Sierra was great! I needed a sitter last minute, and she did a great job taking care of my dog. Will use her again.”

About: I have 5 shepherds of my own, I ran a shepherd rescue, have worked with many training and rescue facilities in the valley, and have vet tech experience. I’m always happy to spend time with more pets I drive down in the valley every day to go to the gym, so any pets on the way are easy for me to swing by for a visit! Every pet has individual needs. Im happy to cuddle and pet some people’s pets for hours, but I’m also happy to respect some pet’s personal space and just be there to make sure all their needs are met.

“Charlie was kind and communicative. He kept our house clean and was very good with our pets. Our pets seemed happy in all the updates he provided. He did need a reminder about the late night walks and did complete them after that.”

Kaytlen G.

“Pets happy and cared for well, pictures and updates were sent us. She responded quickly to our text messages, Very conscientious, I recommend her highly and the house was cleaner than I keep it 🤪she mopped the floors (my least favorite job). Sheets and towels laundered. More than expected!”

Leslie B.

“Scott was awesome, reliable, professional and great to work with. He was very always responsive and made sure to give me updates twice daily. I hope to work with him again.”

TJ B.

“It was great to know my dog was well taken care of and that even though I was from out of town, I found someone so trustworthy! Morgan stayed at my house for a few nights and left the house spotless! If you are in Sedona for a short time and don’t want your dog to bake in the sun, know that Morgan will take great care of your dog!”

Heidi S.

“Becky was perfect for our puppy. She was flexible and cared for her as she was her own. She was easy to communicate with and Roxy just adores her.”

Rachel S.

“Anna took outstanding care of our three kitties while we were on vacation and our home was perfect upon our return. She sent frequent updates with pictures of our fur babies playing and being their goofy selves. The communication was excellent which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our time away. Highly recommend her friendly, professional service.”
