About: Hi! I've had my cat Olive for 11 years and my dog Bel for 3 years. I have also taken care of close to 70 foster animals mostly kittens, with a few medical fosters, and behavioral issues along the way. I have taken courses on behavioral training for dogs as my own dog is reactive towards dogs, so I am very familiar with dog reactivity. I currently run a small 1 man business from my home and have control over my schedule to provide care to other animals regularly. I also foster other animals from time to time. My own dog is reactive and high energy and needs 3 walks a day usually with a lot of play. My cat is a large maincoon that requires a strict diet and care regimen to keep her pre-diabetes in check.

About: I've been walking, training, and caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes for over 10 years. I currently work as a zookeeper full-time. Animals are my passion and I have very high standards of care for every animal I am responsible for. I have experience with (and am actively continuing my education on) Cooperative Care and basic obedience training using positive reinforcement. I have a senior dog of my own and have had special needs dogs in the past, so I am happy to work with dogs that need a little extra care. My main availability is Tuesday-Thursday, but I can occasionally accommodate other days. Feel free to reach out and we can see what we can work out! How I care for pets is fully tailored to my client's needs. I prefer to have a meet and greet with new clients and their pets to get to know you both and go over any important details of their care. I do not feed any treats or food that are not approved ahead of time. I'm educated on signs of fatigue in dogs and am careful to not overwork the dogs in my care (especially in this summer heat).

About: Experienced animal caregiver skilled in grooming, special needs pets, daycare work, fostering, puppy deliveries, homemade treats, and providing loving, active care for all breeds and ages. As a college student with a flexible schedule and plenty of free time, I’m highly available, dependable, and ready to provide consistent, attentive pet care. As a college student and lifelong animal lover, I follow routines, provide exercise, maintain cleanliness, and give attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs.

About: Greetings! First, *I hold a up- to-date AZ fingerprint background clearance card (shown in photos) I have been pet caring and house/pet sitting for 7+ years now. I consider myself a caring and responsible pet sitter. I know that pets are family and require lots of love and attention. I have cared for many types of animals from snakes, birds, to dogs and lizards! Feel free to reach out to me if you have pets besides dogs, you can make a request and send me the details. When I housesit, I can check your mail and help with any plants as well! I also offer boarding in my studio casita home (crate-trained prefer, we can discuss) with a big fenced yard (a favorite sun bathing yard and lots of shade too) I as well offer dog walking, and drop-in visits, and your doggo will be the only pet in my home unless booking two pals together , so they get all my attention, walks, and love! I prefer friendly, non-aggresive dogs as it is a calm, safe environment for pets that enjoy a relaxed setting. I may not be the best fit for dogs with aggressive tendencies, as I want every stay to be safe and stress-free for all! Sometimes, Rover interface doesn't let me expand distance I may be able to house/dog sit. Any questions, feel free to reach out! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by to check out my profile! I currently work from home part -time with flexibilities. It gives me enough space to help out with pet/house sitting during different times and days! Generally, animals are family/friends in my eyes and mind. I love be able to be playful or be a comforting space depending on the animals needs. I am a reiki practitioner and massage therapist so I enjoy giving animals extra love if the animal feels safe to that or needs help calming down. Otherwise and in addition to, I pay attention to what the pet owner has to say and follow the guidelines to what is needed.

About: My whole life has been around animals including 2-3 dogs in my household, caring for a guinea pig, and loving on my friends’ cats. We raised several dogs from 6 week old puppies to their senior years. Since moving out on my own I have had the opportunity to dog sit for all ages of pups. I have also always taken a special interest in volunteering at local animal shelters. I would love the chance to look after and love your animal like my own. I recently moved to the area and have time before my program starts. My days are all about learning the area and preparing for classes so my availability is extremely flexible. Would also love to build relationships that can continue once my program starts and I can be a regular part of your pets life. I have reliable transportation and can be available most times of day. Not currently offering in home service but could be flexible for returning clients!

About: I absolutely love animals and used to voluneer at a local animal shelter before moving to Arizona. I've grown up with dogs and currently have 3 loving (and talkative) cats! I have cared for neighbors, friends, and familys pets for years and love getting to know their unique and special quirks and personalities ❤️ I promise to take exceptional care of you pet and look forward to working with you 😊 I currently work part-time overnights in a hospital everyother week.

I strive to meet your pets needs, fit their schedule, and maintain their routine. ❤️

“Parker took excellent care of Baloo during drop-in visits. He did a great job of following my list of pretty extensive instructions, and spent extra time keeping my anxious boy company. I received daily photos of a happy dog! I will not hesitate to book with Parker and Alysa again.”

Although I am very safe and responsible. My person pet uses a crate just for her safety when I am gone. I am good with crate training as needed for your pets as well. I make sure I clean up after every day and leave the house as clean as I can before you arrive back home to your happy animals!

About: I’ve had furry friends my entire life, and have been taking care of other people’s pets since I was 13. Pet sitting is not just a hobby for me but passion that started my own childhood home. Having dogs in my own home, and thinking how I’d want a sitter to treat my doggie, I will be sending lots of photos, having clear communication with owner, and always be available to call if the owner needs to contact me on a doggie matter. I can take care of furry friends nearly everyday out of the week, although I am currently in collage and my schedule is Mondays and Tuesdays from 8:15 to 2:45. I do not have any pets at my house, so if your furry friend does not do well with other dogs it’s a perfect fit. If a dog is quite energetic and social we will go on lots of walkies to tire them out so there not missing out!

About: I have over a decade of experience working with animals, first in the veterinary field and then as a professional dog trainer.

“Mikayla is very reliable and professional. Luke has enjoyed his long walks. It usually takes a few walks for him to relax with a new person walking him but he seems to have taken a quick liking to Mikayla!”

About: I have had pets in my care for over 30 years and now work primarily as a pet and house sitter. I prioritize a pet’s needs while their loved ones are away. I do not have pets of my own so I can be available for other's pets. I'm comfortable, experienced, and punctual with medicating both dogs and cats using a variety of methods. I have experience with animals outside of dogs and cats. Please mention in your request the additional pet and their needs. I have cared for snakes, tortoises, fish, lizards, guinea pigs, and rats so far! I work full time as a pet care giver and dog walker. I have no pets of my own as I find that way I can be more available for other's pets. I’m open to house sitting at the pet’s home overnight for multi day stays as well as coming to the pet’s home for regular walks and play sessions. I do not charge for the initial 30 minute Meet & Greet. I’m happy to meet for an extended Meet & Greet or have multiple Meet & Greets depending on your pet’s needs. Any extended or additional Meet & Greets will be booked as a drop-in visit through Rover. I am willing to travel outside of my listed parameters for an additional charge. During multi-day house sitting stays, I will typically spend the first 24 hours at the house with the pet(s) to guarantee comfortability. I am able to give regular updates to pet owners that include wellness checks, photos, videos, and FaceTime when communicated and scheduled prior. I prioritize stress free time when pets are away from home and away from their family by treating every pet with kindness, love, and respect.

“Thanks again for meeting us for a walk ! Aiyana is the perfect pet companion . Within minutes my pups adopted her as a new best friend 🦮”
