About: I've worked and rescued dogs since I was a child. I understand a dogs need for routine, feeding schedules, and walking schedules. I've worked with multiple dogs who have different schedules or needs. I've worked with dogs who have been abused and have to avoid certain triggers (other dogs, construction work, certain genders). I've walked dogs who refuse to potty unless you walk and stop at certain favorite spots. No request is too big or too large. I'm currently back in school for health information technology. I'm a virtual student with flexibility anytime. I'm an open book. If you have any questions just ask. In my clients home I aim to keep things as consistent as possible. The pet is already missing their mom or dad. Everything else should be as routine as possible.
About: With over 5 years of hands-on veterinary experience, I offer expert-level pet care you can trust. From playful pups to senior pets with special needs, I provide compassionate, knowledgeable care tailored to each animal’s unique personality and health. Whether it's medication administration, gentle handling, or simply lots of love and attention, your pet is in skilled, caring hands. Working two full days and one half day at a veterinary clinic gives me the perfect balance—plenty of time during the week to offer reliable, attentive pet care, while staying closely connected to animal health and well-being. It’s a win-win: I get to do what I love both at the clinic and with your pets! When caring for a pet in their home, I stick closely to their routine—meals, walks, meds, playtime—so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I bring a calm, caring presence, and a few extra belly rubs never hurt either!
“She is truly exceptional, always available to care for my pets whenever I need her. Additionally, she has been a great help in resetting the Wi-Fi during outages. My heartfelt thanks to her! She's a lifesaver”
“I can't recommend Julie enough! She went way above and beyond to make sure my babies were taken care of - and that I felt comfortable about their well-being. She sent lots of photos and kept me up to date on everything. I thoroughly recommend her services!”
“Crystal was incredible with our boy! He can be kind of a handful, but she has such a way with animals and they were immediately best friends. She was so kind and playful with him and kept him great company. We will definitely be using her in the future and everyone else should too!”
“Tina is always so great with our animals! She is thorough and helpful with last minute requests! Thank you so much for caring for the kittys while we were gone!!”
About: I’ve done drop in for friends and neighbors since elementary school. From the youngest to the oldest I’ll engage with them however they need. I’ll never leave them messy and do my best to get their energy out before I go. I’m free weekday evenings and all weekend. I can make time most holidays. I’m a stay at home mom but my kids will never visit with me, so as long as my husband is available to watch the kids, I can make time to visit your pets! I feel it’s important to keep calm and collected while meeting pets for the first time. After that I love being playful while still keeping myself and your animals safe. Outside exercise is important for dogs and I will take time to make sure your pets receive whatever activity they need to have a good day. Please let me know what your dogs or cats need during my visit to best get them through the day!
About: I’ve had a big responsibility of taking care of pets my whole life. I was always the pet sitter on my street and my neighbors knew they could count on me! I love both cats and dogs and would love to spoil your baby! I am currently attending OU during the week, so I have a limited availability during weekdays! I am currently available on Tuesdays from 2-9 pm, and Friday through Sunday from 9am-9pm. I live in an apartment with an 11th month old kitten who has never been introduced to pet friends so I am currently not accepting any type of boarding! I take great caution with caring for pets no matter the circumstance. Safety is my number one priority!
About: I have two cats and one dog back in Texas! I have many years of experience taking care of my own animals and other people’s animals. Thank you! I’m currently attending University right now! I would work part time to ensure I have plenty of time to make connections with your animals ! I will ensure that your pups have a wonderful and safe time while I look after them! I always walk in a safe environment and neighbourhood.
“Thank you Tiffany for taking such great care of our 4 month old kitten! It was so easy to leave her with you and your family while my husband and I took a short get away. We truly appreciated your updates and the pictures while we were gone!”
“Cindy is such a wonderful caretaker, you can tell that she loves animals. She is communicative, always sends detailed notes and pictures and is very helpful.”
“Amber was amazing! I have two dogs and one can be reactive and Amber handled it amazingly. I’m so excited to have a pet sitter I can trust now. We will be regulars”
About: I've been fostering and taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes my entire life. I know what it's like to be worried about your pet I personally have a dog with separation anxiety and understand the struggle. Let me help your pet stay calm and happy while you enjoy time away. I love animals and taking care of them is truly my passion. I do online school leaving me plenty of time to play with your furry family. I have a fully fenced yard with cameras and although my dogs are friendly I do keep them crated when first meeting a new dog in order to ensure everyone stays safe and anxiety free.
About: I love animals. I have owned and operated a Children and family portrait studio for over 15 years. Dogs are like kids to me. They are innocent and kind and deserve love and attention. I have time to offer your baby the love and attention it deserves when you're not around! I was raised on a farm in North Texas where we took care of many animals. I knew from a young age up the importance of taking care of animals properly. I find dogs to be such amazing animals seeing their pack instincts make them yearn to be with people and protect them. I love the affection they offer with no hidden rules. I offer the same love and affection to them because they deserve it. Hi! I’m new to the Phoenix area but not new to caring for pets and homes. I’ve been a trusted sitter for years, including several long-term house and pet sitting gigs in the U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Thomas) and Puerto Rico. Whether it’s dogs, cats, chickens, or something a little more exotic, I’ve probably cared for it — and loved every minute of it. I’m super clean, respectful, and calm — I work from home or remotely when I can, so your pets get attention and your home stays safe. I’m also a total plant nerd and take pride in keeping your green babies alive and thriving while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone who truly connects with animals, treats your home like a sanctuary, and communicates well while you’re gone, let’s set up a meet & greet! I only care for pets in their own home — where they’re most relaxed, happy, and safe. I follow their routine closely, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just being a calm, loving presence. I’m super clean, great with plants, and treat your space with total respect. I want your pets to feel like they’re just on vacation at home until you walk back through the door.
