House Sitting in Cornville

“Thank you Thalia for all your help while sitting for my cat Toby! It was nice to be able to get out of town for a week and know that he had a compassionate companion to stay overnight with him while I was away. I appreciate all your kindness, gentleness and care!”

“Vlad was great! It was our first time using Rover and it exceeded our expectations. Hats off to Vlad he took our "brat pack" for a walk !! You have a new customer !!”

“What a breath of fresh air she was and set my heart at ease with her care and communication 💕 about Roxy. Roxy is shy and is slow to warm up but she took very quickly to Krystin. It was such a blessing to find her!!! Thank you 😊”

“Michael was great with our dog and cat! He was very attentive to them and went above and beyond taking care of the garden too. He also cleaned up the house nicely before we arrived back home. We will definitely book him again the next time we are going out of town.”

“Celina was wonderful with Daisy. She stayed with her all day and even took her to the park and a restaurant to help socialize her. She is a trainer and gave us some helpful tips on working with Daisy. She goes above and beyond.”

“Wow!! Jennifer is the best house/dog sitter I have ever used. She messaged us with pics and videos of Molly (our dog) once or twice every day and let us know how she was doing. I could see that she paid a lot of attention to Molly. Molly is a little older and recently had a seizure so she takes a couple medications twice a day, which was no issue for Jennifer. When we got home, Molly seemed very relaxed like she had a great week. The house was immaculate, and the sheets she used were washed and waiting for us in the dryer even though we didn't expect that. I'm really impressed and I'm not easily impressed. Thank you Jennifer and Molly thanks you too!!!!”

“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!”

About: I have owned almost every animal you could possibly think of and am very knowledgeable in caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish! I am a stay at home mom so I am free almost all day every day! I am super flexible a willing to make what works best for you possible! I do have a six month old that does not take a bottle and would have to come with me but he is around animals all day and knows he’s not aloud to touch them! I have lots of cats and dogs who bolt to the door every time you open it so I very good at getting in and out super quick!

About: I love my experiences with my canine friends, and felines too. I have been the primary care person for numerous furry friends though my life although not currently. I have enjoyed numerous pet sitting jobs, including for elderly and crippled dogs, here in the Verde Valley and have a pet-friendly vehicle for potential nature hikes. Since I am retired, it's easy to program my personal interests (writing, web programming, music editing, reading) amongst the needs of my clients, human and non. I bring them outside if appropriate, feed them as wanted, medicines as required, walking, talking, petting, playing, and give them personal space as they may prefer.

About: Need a reliable sitter for your furry family member? Your pet will receive lots of love and plenty of playtime & walks. I am the trusted pet-sitter for my colleagues, caring for their dogs & cats when they are away. I am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes, and I have experience with senior dogs and their special needs. As an active person myself, l love taking dogs on hikes, walks, and finding open areas to throw a ball or frisbee. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy! I work full-time during the week with flexibility in my hours. I can adjust my work hours when needed for a mid-day pottie break or check-in. I'm able to provide in-home & overnight care for pets who are able to be alone for several hours (if there is no pet door to the outside). I have full evening and weekend availability and can do drop-in visits and walks. I follow house & pet routines when providing in-home care. I can only provide care in my home for pets who can be alone for several hours.

About: I have been passionate about animals since early childhood. My experience spans domestic pets, exotic animals, farm animals, and service dog training. Below is an overview of my lifelong work with animals: Early Childhood & Domestic Pets: -Began caring for animals at age 5 with three cats and my first dog (a Maltese) at age 8. -Personally responsible for training and caring for my dog from a young age. -Attended weekly dog obedience classes as the only child—my dog was often the most well-trained in class! -Raised and trained multiple dogs growing up, including Maltese and Border Collies. -As an adult, I have lived with and trained various breeds including Border Collies, Siberian Huskies, Dachshunds, and many toy dog mixes. Exotic Animals & Wildlife: -Became a licensed falconer at age 20; trapped and trained wild falcons for hunting. -Worked professionally with macaws, parrots, cockatoos, a raven, owls, hawks, eagles, falcons, homing pigeons, and trained rats. -Performed with and trained birds and other animals at Utah Hogle Zoo’s World of Flight bird show. -Owned and cared for freshwater aquariums, hermit crabs, and an axolotl salamander named Gary. Volunteer Work & Ranch Life: -Volunteered at the Ogden Nature Center, caring for tortoises, snakes, tarantulas, sea birds, and birds of prey. -Grew up on a ranch caring for over 20 chickens, 20 rabbits, 3 horses, 7 cats, a dog, and 3 cows. -Frequently served as a trusted house-sitter for friends’ and neighbors’ farms. -Experienced in horse husbandry and enjoy working with all farm animals. Service Dog Training: -Personally trained my Border Collie, Maki, as a certified service dog through a professional 6-month training program under the direct supervision of a certified handler at Ty The Dog Guy. -Received hands-on education in service animal training protocols, behavior management, and handler skills. -Maki now accompanies me as a fully trained service dog, with experience traveling and performing under high-pressure conditions. As a full-time indie author, I can take my work anywhere and have a highly flexible schedule. I teach one class a week at a local Sedona yoga studio and work part-time at a crystal boutique. Outside of those brief commitments, I’m home writing, reading, or happily spending time with animals. If I’m ever away from your home, it won’t be for more than 5–6 hours at a time. For pets that need specialty care—like puppies, senior dogs, or animals with specific routines—I can easily rearrange my day to be fully present and attentive. You let me know your pet’s schedule, and I’ll make it happen. I offer in-home pet sitting to keep your animals comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. My care style is attentive and proactive—I follow your pet’s routines for feeding, exercise, playtime, and snuggles while ensuring their space stays safe and clean. I’m excellent at puppy-proofing and making sure curious pets stay out of harm’s way. With over two decades of animal care experience, I’m confident in recognizing early signs of discomfort or distress. I have basic dog first aid knowledge, so I’m prepared to handle minor injuries or emergencies calmly and effectively. My goal is always to give your pets the same love, attention, and structure they’re used to, so they feel secure while you’re away.

“Kind and compassionate, Mel was perfect to petsit for my wire-haired dachshund, Sketch. Sketch ended up with a toe injury right before I left, and Mel gently soaked it in Epsom's salt. She was very caring and seemed to communicate a sense of safety to Sketch. Sketch was just fine when I returned. I definitely recommend Mel.”

“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!”

“It’s not easy to look after 4 dogs but Peggy breezed through her stay & let us enjoy our time away from home with full confidence that everything was being well handled”

About: I’m a very open hearted person that loves animals and takes pride in it. I’ve been around animals since I was a little kid, and would like to help others by watching they’re animals like I did for my neighbors growing up. I’m currently working full time as well as my partner, after 4:30 works best for me and my partner who helps take care of animals with me. I have a fenced back yard and front yard so no pets can go off running & if needed i have kennels as well :)

About: I had my family dog from the time I was 9 years old. I now have two very loving dogs at home with my little one, a Dachshund and a Lab. While I was in college, I fostered two cats and a Terrier mix until they found their forever homes. I am currently a stay-at-home mom, so this will be one of the many hats I wear throughout the day! Being able to get out and do things is very important to me, especially when I can bring my little one along. I have a deep love for animals, they will get lots of petting and love when I am with them! I also enjoy exercising, which will make me the perfect dog walker! I also have lots of experience cleaning up messes and will be more than happy to do light house keeping for you if needed!
