“Sydney did a great job house sitting for us with our two dogs. We came home to a clean home just like we left it and the dogs were happy and well taken care of. Sydney brought in our mail and packages while we were away too. I plan on using her again, and would recommend her to others as well.”


“Dina is fantastic! We were super happy about her watching over Charly ( crazy youg goldenretriever) and Lilly (cat). All went so well with the animal and her entire stay. She is definitely a responsible person. We will have her again with no hesitation! See you soon again, Dina. Emmie and Patrick”

“Gretchen was fantastic. Great with the dogs, very responsible, learned some complicated feeding and meds processes fast and accurately. Clearly cares about what she does and the dogs loved her. I will use her again for sure!!!”


“Highly recommend! Jesse watched our two cats while we were away for the week. She kept us updated and did a great job taking care of them. The cats were happy and healthy when we got home and I could tell they were being well taken care of all week.

About: My entire life has consisted of dogs and cats in the house and I love my furry pals. Currently co-parenting two senior dogs. Can teach sit, lay, stay and better walking habits. Also experience with animal home check-ups, feeding meds and little play dates. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! I'm a stay-at-home artist with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily work in a few pet care clients throughout the week or weekend. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or extended stays, I can usually adapt my day to meet your pet’s needs. Let’s chat and see how I can help! I always aim to keep pets as comfortable and stress-free as possible by sticking closely to their usual routine—feeding times, walks, play, medications, and all the little things that help them feel secure while their humans are away. When I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and thoughtful about your pet’s environment. I take the time to understand their personality, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. Whether it's giving extra love to a senior pet, administering meds, or just keeping a shy cat company, I care for every animal like they’re my own. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands.

“Lamar was amazing. He was very responsive and so helpful. One of my dogs is older and has trouble seeing so he needed to be fed a certain way, Lamar didn't even hesitate to assist. Would most definitely recommend for your pet sitting needs!”


“Once again Robin did a stellar job pet sitting for us while we were on vacation! I love all the photos and the evening check ins! Our dogs are not easy with strangers but they both ADORE Robin and I feel so at peace knowing she is in our home with them while we are gone. She is truly a dog whisperer and I highly recommend her to everyone!”


“Kendall was a wonderful house sitter. She took great care of my pets and sent pictures frequently. My home was perfect when I got home and I feel she went the extra mile! Definitely will use again.”


“Amanda was a great sitter for our 2 border collies. She kept us updated and all was great upon our return. Monsoons caused nervous dogs and a power outage, Amanda was a trooper through all of it. We would definitely recommend her.”


“What a wonderful experience with Marnesha. She took care of Rowdy while I was on a mini-vacation. When I came back, Rowdy told me he felt like he was on vacation under Marnesha's care. He is an elder pup and Marnesha made sure he got all his required medicines and vitamins. You will not be disappointed with the care that her and her beautiful dog, Sebastian, will provide. Thank you Marnesha.”


About: I have over 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. For the past 5 years, I’ve raised and cared for my own dog; providing daily walks, consistent training, and lots of love. Before that, I spent 4 years dog sitting for friends, neighbors, and family, gaining experience with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and needs. I’m confident handling everything from energetic puppies to older dogs with special routines. Safety, consistency, and affection are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I don’t start my new job until early November so I currently am very flexible with my time at the moment and can accommodate accordingly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or yours, I prioritize comfort and routine. I follow each pet’s individual care plan closely including feeding schedules, walk times, medication (if needed), and favorite activities. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and strive to maintain your dog’s normal routine to minimize stress. In my home, pets have a calm, clean environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and receive attention. I keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Finally found an awesome pet sitter that we trust staying in our home and taking great care of our baby!! I highly recommend! House was just as we left it, they kept us updated with pictures, and Boca was a happy dog! Thank you!!”


About: We are a retired military family who took special care of our pets at every duty station, including overseas in Japan, Italy, and Hawaii. I'm expereinced in Click to Calm, Canine Enrichment, and Dog Walking as a volunteer with the Humane Society of Southern Arizona. I am currently working a part-time flexible schedule, so I can offer your a flexible schedule within 25 miles of my home in NE Tucson. I'm interested in meeting your family and learning more about your pet care preferences. I want to provide a personlized experience that will give you peace of mind when you trust me with your fur babies.

About: I am a devoted animal lover and have spent my entire life living with and caring for pets. I have experience working at a veterinary clinic and a lot of experience caring for senior dogs. Taking care of animals nurtures me just as much as I nurture them. Friends and family have always trusted me to look after their pets whenever they are away. I provide regular photo and text updates to keep pet owners reassured. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet to see if we’re a good fit! Rover is my full-time job and I have a lot of free time! My day is always planned around pet care including dog walks, grooming and training. I love caring for pets and I have all day to spend with yours! I tailor my care to meet the specific needs of each pet individually. My priority is to make your pet as comfortable as possible. I always take special care to consider their specific feeding schedules, any special dietary needs, exercise routines/preferences and behavioral tendencies. I am always professional and compassionate regardless of where I am caring for pets.

“Thank you for watching Ollie and Sparky! Dylan is gentle and reliable. Sparky, who is generally skittish around men, warmed up to him quickly. Ollie and Sparky loved their morning and evening walks, outside play time, and indoor cuddles and lounging. We would recommend Dylan to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

Monique L.
“My dog is a two year old mini poodle who has had a pretty rough beginning. I adopted him at our local animal control center in February. Monique (Mo) has such a wonderful patient way of working with Lucky, Mo's voice can be either playful or in teaching mode. She praise my dog constantly. Mo taught him to "sit" in a very short time, using some treats. I have followed up with Lucky on walks, but, in effect, without treats. He holds treats in his mouth so treats are given when we get home. I bought a set of boots for Lucky for protection on our terribly hot pavements and desert rocks and stickers. He took about 3 seconds to get them off when I fastened them. But with Mo, he was willing to keep them on in the house, Walking in that high legged, convulsive, floppy fashion, Mo took him for a walk in the neighborhood. They came back in half an hour with Lucky walking normally and seeming proud of it. Its a work in progress, I can get the boots on him and have him walk around the house, but I haven't tried a long walk yet. Mo has my complete confidence and trust in her abilities with dogs.

Melinda B.
“Melinda B is a dear friend of mine . She is a kind and loving person. We have been friends for years and although she never cared for any of my pets ( my senior dogs were at the end of there life pretty much when I met her )saw how well she cared for her kitties . They were always well loved and cared for . She made sure they had good food , treats , and kept up with vet visits . The kitties got a good balance of play and cuddle time . If I had kitties / dogs today I would definitely trust her to care for them .”
