“Cedell was everything I wanted in a pet sitter and more. She understood how to make my dogs feel safe and loved. My puppy had never been with a pet sitter before and was very hesitant about her at first, but she quickly won him over with her calm and warm demeanor. Cedell kept me informed and sent lots of photos and videos which was great!”
“Marianne went above and beyond during her stay. We had a shelf randomly break and she spent one evening cleaning that all up, she picked up dog piles, and she even stayed into the middle of the night when we had a travel delay so that the pups wouldn’t be alone too long. Very friendly and communicative!”
“Alan watched our two dogs for a week. He is a wonderful dog sitter. We received multiple daily updates and photographs. He also quickly responds to any message. Our pups definitely missed him when we returned home! We highly recommend him.”
“Haley was so good!! Highly recommend. She kept me updated throughout her time with pictures and timely responses. She even brought in my mail! I always felt like my animal was safe with her. She is personable and communicative. Both me and Millie were comfortable with her in my home and around one another !”
“This was our first time using Rover, so we were a bit unsure about the process. However, once we had a Meet & Greet with Cindy and saw how comfortable our pups were with her, we felt reassured leaving our fur babies in her care for the weekend. She took excellent care of them, administered medication 3x a day, took them on walks, and gave them loads of attention. She even let Colby sleep in bed with her! Five stars all around. Cindy is fantastic – thank you!”
“Daniella is fabulous and we will definitely have her dog sit for us again! She is kind, punctual and has great communication skills. We were impressed with how tidy our home was upon return. Jerry really likes her and gives her two paws up! It’s a real blessing to know your dog is in safe hands! He’s a big boy who is strong and Daniella can handle him! Thanks a million Daniella!”
“Kisa was great! She was prompt, responsive, professional. My dogs loved her right away. She let me know when they were let out/walked/fed/pottied. She sent pictures so I knew they were good, I never had to worry while on my trip. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Rochelle did a wonderful job looking after Roxy! She made sure she was happy and comfortable while I was out of town! I would be more than happy to have Rochelle stay with Roxy again! :)”

I work part-time teaching ASL remotely, which gives me plenty of free time to play, walk, and care for your pups daily. Your pets will get lots of attention and exercise while you’re away. I’m currently staying with my mom in Tempe while searching for my own place. I’m flexible to care for pets either at your apartment or house. If you have a fenced yard, that’s a great, safe space for dogs to play and explore.

We always made sure they were well fed, and taken care of. I love any type of dog, any shape or size. Dogs are adorable and cuddly, I will be more than happy to keep your dog company.

“Ben absolutely saved us! In a panic at 3:30 AM after our scheduled Rover sitter canceled on us at 11 PM, I found myself searching for a replacement. I sent out multiple requests, and luckily Ben is an early riser. Just slightly before 5 AM. He acknowledged my request and agreed to take care of the dogs. He showed up on time, provided photos as we asked, and took care of all the pup’s feeding, medication, and relief needs. I can’t thank him enough”
“It can be unnerving having someone you just met come stay at your home, but Steph made me feel very comfortable! I enjoyed how many photos she sent daily. She knows how to take care of cats with different issues and was even willing to give my cat medication when she had an allergic reaction a couple days before I left. She was patient and kind with my cats who can sometimes be timid with strangers, and was able to get them to open up and play. Steph did a wonderful job taking care of my babies and made me feel like I could enjoy my trip better knowing my cats were ok.”
“Meredith took such great care of my pets while I was away! I came home to a clean space with all four fur babies happy, healthy, and chilling. She provided regular updates and photos while I was away. I highly recommend booking Meredith for your pet care needs, five star experience”
“Alexandria was a perfect fit for us! She house and dog sat for our 4 year and 14 year old dogs and took great care of each and met their individual needs. As most pet owners know, a Senior dog has different requirements than a rambunctious young dog. She did so with grace and love. Clean, respectful, mature, kind and she provided excellent communication, including photos, during our time away. She was also flexible as we slid the dates around after booking. I cannot recommend Alexandria enough.”
“This is the second time we’ve used Katlyn’s services for house sitting. She did an excellent job looking after the house but most importantly taking wonderful care of our dog and cats.”
About: I've taken care of animals since before I can remember. Both cats and dogs. We love our pets, unconditionally, as if they were our babies. I want to ensure your pets feel loved, even when you aren't there. I am currently an online college student, giving me plenty of time to play and cuddle with any dogs or cats. I can drop in on your pets, take them on walks, feed them, and make sure they are loved until you get back. I am available all days of the week. I will ensure that your fur babies will be fed, exercised, and properly loved on, in the comfort of their homes. I can take them on walks or play with them inside, depending on their comfort levels and the wishes of the owners.

Brenna is a lovely, highly caring and competent caregiver. We were thrilled with her care of our pup and our home. She is thoughtful, responsive, conscientious, and genuinely a kind soul who made our nervous dog feel safe and loved. We highly recommend Brenna, who went above and beyond expectations!
I have to travel for 4 days and Rebecca was watching my dog in my house. She was great! My furry was so happy with her. She walked Mia every day! And sent me photos. For sure, if I need to travel again, I want her to watch Mía again! Thank you Rebecca so much! 🤍
Haley was so good!! Highly recommend. She kept me updated throughout her time with pictures and timely responses. She even brought in my mail! I always felt like my animal was safe with her.

Sue Hyon took great care of my babies while I was out of town and I would absolutely recommend her services to others! I have a senior cat who requires several daily supplements and feedings, as well as a senior dog (Ginger) who resource guards and has an unpredictable mood with a bite history. Naturally, I was very anxious about leaving them in the care of someone I don’t personally know. My dog wasted no time showing her nasty side, refusing to allow Sue Hyon to put her harness on, with a (thankfully minor) bite incident to follow on day 2. I was mortified and fully expected her to cancel the rest of the booking or at the very least keep Ginger at an arm’s length. Not only did she stay, but she continued trying to get that dang harness on until she eventually succeeded. To even more of my surprise, she STILL went out of her way to take Ginger with her to bars and restaurants with dog-friendly patios because I mentioned how much she enjoys it. I was truly shocked by that and it immediately eased all of my worries. Thank you again, Sue Hyon!!
Kisa was great! She was prompt, responsive, professional. My dogs loved her right away. She let me know when they were let out/walked/fed/pottied. She sent pictures so I knew they were good, I never had to worry while on my trip. Will definitely be booking again!
Jamie did everything I asked of her. She took good care of our Phoebe. Our pup takes a pill daily and is a little shy about eating and Jamie was able to get her to do both of those things. She left the house clean and brought in the mail. I’ve already booked her for another house/pet sitting in a few weeks.
Ben absolutely saved us! In a panic at 3:30 AM after our scheduled Rover sitter canceled on us at 11 PM, I found myself searching for a replacement. I sent out multiple requests, and luckily Ben is an early riser. Just slightly before 5 AM. He acknowledged my request and agreed to take care of the dogs. He showed up on time, provided photos as we asked, and took care of all the pup’s feeding, medication, and relief needs. I can’t thank him enough
I will always choose Tabbitha if she is available! Friendly, amazing communication and frequent updates and photos. My dog loves her - after I’m home, for a day or two she keeps looking to the front door (I come in from the garage) as if she is hoping to see Tabbitha, too. She leaves my house spotless and generally makes me feel like my dog is very much appreciated and safe. Highly recommended!
