“Tammy took great care of my cat while I was away. She was a great communicator, providing daily check in updates and pictures, and voicing any concerns. I would hire her again!”
About: I've been surrounded by animals all my life. Dogs especially. I helped to raise an accidental litter of nine puppies with my mom who kept four of the puppies who are very happy. I'm experienced in taking care of waste, walks, food prepping, and overall patience to help however I can. I also have experience working overnight in a boarding facility where I feed, medicate, potty, and monitor anywhere from 15 to 40+ dogs. I can assure the utmost care and attention when I'm with your little(or big) ones. I'm currently free to work whenever. I'm eager to help out where I can and will reply to requests immediately. I have a puppy of my own and he's very happy and I love taking care of him alongside my partner. I don't currently have much space to take any animals into my own home but I will be completely willing to go to a clients house. I will take note of every specific need and happily take care of any tasks asked of me.
“Francesca was the best! She took very good care of our 3 kitties, and sent lots of pictures and videos. She is also very nice and communicates well! I would highly recommend her and would hire her again!”
“Annabella was amazing! She went above and beyond to care for our cat Loki while we were on vacation. The night we left, our fire alarms became defective and kept setting off until our maintenance team could come fix them the next day. Annabella stayed extra long during her visit to reassure Loki and comfort him. Our litter robot also had a connection issue, and she was able to reset it & set up an emergency litter box I had shipped to the home. The fire alarm situation caused me a lot of anxiety at the beginning of the trip, but the daily updates and photos from Annabella made me feel so much better and we were able to thoroughly enjoy the rest of our trip, knowing our boy was in good hands! We would definitely rebook with her on future trips. :)”
“Mindy was fantastic!! She was very professional, had great communication, sent awesome photos, and our cats loved her! One of our cats has a complicated history, and she handled them so well. I'm so thankful she was able to accommodate our request and watch our kitties! The next time we're away she will be first, second, and third on my list to contact!”
“We are so grateful for the wonderful care Rylee gave our dogs while we were away. She was incredibly kind, reliable, always on time, and communicated with us every step of the way. The pictures and updates she sent meant so much to us and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our pups were happy and well cared for. It's clear she genuinely loves animals, and we felt completely comfortable trusting her with our dogs. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter!”
About: My family has owned dogs and cats for my entire life. Since as early as I remember I've helped care for, watch, feed, play with, and walk dogs and cats. Within the last few years, I started officially dog sitting. And within the last year I began cat sitting. I'm never away from home for more than 5 hours at a time, typically only 2 or 3 on weekdays and 5 on weekends. (please note that my preferred name is Layla) I'm a full time student, but my classes are online. I also work part time, but I will never be gone for more than 5 hours at a time. Typically during the weekdays I'm only gone 2-3 hours if any. I am always attentive and careful with any animal. I am more than willing to go on multiple walks and play with your pets to help them burn off energy. I also enjoy playing mind stimulating games with pets, especially dogs. For example, I will hide treats around the house and then send the dog to "hunt" for them.
“Laura did a great job looking after our 2 cats while we were out of town. We received updates every morning and when we came home the cats were healthy and happy. One of them is extremely shy and normally will hide when strangers are here. When Laura came to meet them prior to our leaving the cat came out right away and meowed at her so that was a good sign she would be fine with Laura. I am always so nervous leaving them. They are sweet cats. Thank you Laura for looking after them!”
About: I LOVE taking care of animals! I pride myself in giving them comfort and love while their owners are away. I’ve taken care of many different age range animals and health conditions for over 5 years. I am currently working part time and have availability in the early mornings, after 1:30pm and evenings as well. I can do one time checks ins or up to three if needed, I know everyone’s babies are different and may need more than one check in a day. On the weekends I’m also available! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your care instructions, keep their routine consistent, and treat them like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or extra cuddles, you can count on me to provide dependable, loving care while keeping you updated with messages and photos if requested.
About: I’m so grateful to have always been surrounded by furry family members as my household has never been without the wonderful presence of dogs, cats, or even various rodents/reptiles/birds throughout the years 😂 So, while 20+ years of personal experience may technically be accurate, I’d say that a majority of my experience was gained within the past 8 years: learning and experiencing responsibility, hardship, and companionship through my own kitties and doggos, volunteering at cat shelters, and overnight dog sitting for family members with variously aged pets. Through these opportunities, I was able to gain experience with a wide range of pets from energetic puppies that love to chew and play all day to senior dogs that may need meds given or diapers changed and shy/scared kitties that need lots of patience and kindness to playful cats that want constant attention and affection :) I'm excited to become part of your pets' lives whether that consists of play time and pets during a check-in or cuddles on the couch while I keep them company overnight! I would love to become your pet’s new best friend! I work part time at a couple of jobs, but that won’t stop me from doing whatever I can to fit you and your fur baby’s into my schedule ☺️✨ I have experience with many types of dogs and cats through growing up surrounded by them, getting to meet many others in cat shelters while volunteering, and family members' homes during overnight dog sitting. As a result, I am very used to cleaning litter boxes or various pet messes, sticking to feeding, med, or bed time routines and schedules, and dealing with pets that may not always be on their best behavior or are nervous meeting a stranger. Other than that, I am quick to reply and can give you frequent updates with pictures on the well-being of your loved ones!
About: I grew up in a home with 13 dogs at one time who might have been more spoiled than us kids. We had Great Danes, chihuahuas, a basset hound, black lab, shiba, Shepard, etc. My mother loved fostering litters and single dogs which meant I always had a part in caring for them and I’ve whelped several litters since. I am well experienced caring for dogs ranging from newborn to senior. I can administer medications, feed, play, walk, and show your animals tons of care and love while you’re away. ❤️ I am a stay at home mother with 2 school aged children now, which means I have a ton of flexibility! I also am available on weekends. I have a large fenced in yard with turf and I also have a puppy play area completely separated for when I have puppies. My dogs are free to come in as they please, love stuffies, bones, and are so well loved and cared for.
About: I've cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, tortoises, and fish, and have experience pet sitting overnight for many families. I'm especially passionate about caring for senior pets and those with physical disabilities. I've cared for two elderly dogs with mobility challenges, including one who lost the use of their back legs and needed assistance getting around and going outside. I understand that these pets require extra patience, gentleness, and individualized care, and I'm committed to making them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also volunteered for two years at a cat shelter, where I fed cats, deep-cleaned kennels and litter boxes, monitored their health, and administered medications according to their care plans. I also have experience giving medications to dogs. While I'm not a certified trainer, I've trained my own dogs and know how important consistency is. I'm happy to follow your pet's established commands, routines, and house rules to help them feel secure and maintain good habits. Living in Arizona has made me very flexible with schedules, including early morning or late evening walks during the summer heat. Above all, I know pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want for my own. As a graduate student, I attend classes Tuesday through Thursday, but I stay overnight in your home and return as soon as my classes are finished. My class schedule is consistent each week, so you'll always know when I'll be away and when I'll be back. I'm fully available Friday through Monday. I'm happy to discuss your pet's needs to make sure my schedule is a good fit. I believe the best pet care starts with keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow your feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions, and any household rules or commands your pet is already familiar with so they feel comfortable while you're away. Whether I'm caring for a playful puppy, an independent cat, or a senior pet who needs extra assistance, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, make sure fresh water is always available, and provide plenty of affection while respecting each pet's individual personality and boundaries. I also know how important communication is when someone else is caring for your pet. I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have had animals my whole life. I have experience with pets, working dogs , and livestock / farm animals. I’m hoping to be more involved in what i love ! not only is this great experience for my future but it’s also something I genuinely enjoy doing i have pretty open availability because i’m online school but i do have animals of my own to tend to, i just prefer not crazy long hours :)! I like to take care of others animals like I do my own when it comes to maintaining a clean , safe and fun environment. I already have knowledge from kennel technician job so I know what’s expected.
“Jonathan was so great with our kitten, Felix, who liked him as soon as they met. He was very in tune with Felix, making sure he was stimulated and cuddled enough. He also sent tons of pictures and videos and made our time away as easy as possible!”
“Mackenzie came over before our trip to make sure she understood all our cats needs. She completed all tasks every time she visited! Her scheduled was flexible and was able to come after I had packages arriving to take inside.”
About: From bulldogs to chihuahuas. I encourage lots of love and care and even know how to groom if necessary. I am home full time living with my fiancée, both of us are passionate about all animals. Both of us have or have had dogs of our own, I myself have worked with dogs in grooming, puppy daycare, and in a veterinary clinic. Each dog has their own unique personality, and it's important to cater to each dog and listen to them rather than assume you know what to do. All dogs deserve proper care and attentiveness and I can confidently say I can provide both and more for every dog I meet. Thank you kindly. Currently I am building my professional career working for vet clinics and rescues where needed, in the meantime I like to provide for my community by helping those with pet care when days get busy. After years working with pet parents and their critters, I know the importance of keeping them safe and happy. I like to build trust with a pet, reassuring them that I am someone they can feel comfortable with, here to help and not to invade their space.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid. Including dogs, cats, iguanas, turtles, and aquarium fish. I’ve had many different pets along the way, but currently only have one cat Penny. My kids are grown and out of the house so I have lots of flexibility. I work as a teacher but available most weekends, and maybe even during the week depending on the circumstances. You are opening your home to me and that is something that I do not take lightly. I am neat and clean and will leave your house that way too. I will love on your fur baby whatever way they need. Snuggles, treats, a passing glance at the grouchy kitty, I’m there for ya!
About: My love for animals started at a young age, and I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life. I regularly pet sit for family, friends, and family friends, caring for their pets as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I currently have five animals. Each one has their routine and I welcome it with love, just as I will your pets special routine. I am looking to take care of animals any chance I get. I’ll usually work my schedule around you and your pets needs. I always make sure the get lots of love and attention. I’ll always make sure they have plenty of water and finish all their food before leaving. And you can’t forget those treats!

This is the second time I've used Savannah to watch my two cats. It's nice to know they are in such great hands while I'm away - I don't worry about them at all. She takes the time to interact with them and treat them as I would. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Im so grateful to Issy taking care of my babies. I have a regular babysitter who is gone for the summer and am always nervous to trust someone new but she honestly exceeded my expectations and I just booked her again for next month. The thorough updates she provides really puts me at ease and I was surprised that even my most timid kitty warmed up to her immediately. 🩷
Sophia went WAY above and beyond what we asked of her with no questions asked. We were honestly expecting to return to a horrifically dirty house because of our 4 animals after a week! We returned to an almost spotless house with many countermeasures put in place to prevent our animals from destroying everything! Thanks Sophia!
