About: 20+ Years of Loving Dog Experience 🐾❤️ With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I’ve had the joy of caring for bully breeds and pups of all ages—from playful puppies to beloved seniors. I’ve also cared for a variety of breeds, personalities, and special needs, including providing long-term, personalized care. I’ve been a proud dog mom to a pittie from her puppy years through her senior years, as well as a senior Chihuahua. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, understanding, consistency, and, most of all, treating every dog with the love and care they deserve. Your pup will be treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, patience, and personalized care. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! 🐾❤️ I’m open during the week any time of the day and possibly weekends. Weekends preferably scheduled in advance but willing to take on last minute requests when available. I’m willing and able to adapt to the needs and requests for specific pets and their unique personality types, specific feeding instructions, play, or whatever may be needed.

“Great job! Thanks for taking care of our pup!”

“Annabelle is reliable and does great with Olives walks. Love getting her extra pictures of my girl when I’m stuck at work! Will definitely book 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.

About: About Me 😸 Hi, I'm Maggie! I bring extensive, professional hands-on veterinary industry (including ER) experience to every pet I care for. For me, pet sitting isn't a hobby—it is a commitment to providing the absolute highest standard of safety, comfort, and specialized care. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walking partner or your senior cat requires a gentle, patient companion, I tailor my routine entirely to your pet's unique personality and medical needs. Why Choose Me? • Advanced Medical Knowledge: With my veterinary background, I am completely comfortable administering oral medications, topical treatments, and injections. I can expertly read animal body language to spot subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or medical changes before they become issues. • Special Needs & Senior Care Experts: I welcome senior pets, puppies, and animals recovering from surgery or managing chronic illnesses. I know exactly how to maintain strict care schedules. • Safety First, Always: My industry experience means I treat emergency preparedness as a top priority. You will receive regular, detailed updates and photo check-ins so you can enjoy your time away with 100% peace of mind. Please reach out with any questions or to schedule a Meet & Greet! Because pet care is my primary focus, your pet will never be left alone for long periods. • Boarding / House Sitting: I maintain a consistent, predictable routine. Pets are never left unattended for more than 2 to 4 hours at a time, ensuring plenty of potty breaks, mental stimulation, and companionship. • Drop-Ins / Walks: I offer flexible scheduling windows throughout the day. I arrive promptly within our agreed-upon time frame so your pet's feeding and medication schedule remains perfectly on track. Safety and respect for your property are my absolute highest priorities. I treat your home with the utmost care and maintain strict safety protocols to ensure your pets remain secure and comfortable in their own familiar environment: • Home Security & Vigilance: I strictly follow your locking preferences, arm security alarms precisely as instructed, and ensure all windows and gates are securely closed before leaving or going to sleep. I keep a low profile to ensure your home looks occupied and secure. • Escaping Prevention: I am incredibly vigilant about "door-darting." I use careful entry and exit barriers to ensure pets never have the opportunity to slip outside accidentally. During walks, dogs are always kept on secure, reliable leashes—never off-leash in unsecured areas. • Health & Behavioral Monitoring: I perform daily, subtle health checks (monitoring appetite, energy levels, and bathroom habits). Because of my professional background, I can spot the earliest signs of stress, bloat, or discomfort and act immediately. • Emergency Preparedness: I keep the contact information for your primary veterinarian and the nearest 24/7 emergency pet hospital easily accessible. If an unexpected home issue arises (like a leak or power outage), I will handle it calmly and contact you immediately.

“Taz is so knowledgeable about training. Taz suggested I walk my puppy with a toy to help burn off that puppy energy. Taz is prompt and communicative. I plan to board with her in a couple of weeks.”

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and had other animals like turtles, hamsters, guinea pig and cats but size doesn’t matter to me. I’m free pretty much most days I work online and have classes online so I’m able to be home all day if needed by you. I’ve had animals all my life and I love them all to death. My dog of 14 years recently passed away a couple of months ago so I looking to get more experience with any animal.

About: I’ve always had love for animals, I am currently a dog groomer and love taking care of animals. I have plenty of experience grooming and or boarding animals so this would not be new to me at all! I love building long lasting relationships with customers and pets and would love the opportunity to work together in a safe and meaningful environment for your pet! I am a current dog groomer, with that being said I am still available for early mornings, afternoon and late evenings. I have a flexible schedule and am willing to communicate! I am very familiar with keeping a safe environment for pets. I worked in many salons and have learned overtime the dogs needs and to make them feel safe, comfortable and happy!

“Alexandria has been wonderful! She does a thorough written summary with pictures!! at the end of each visit so we know what happened. It makes us feel so comfortable to know we can trust and rely on Alexandria to take care of Nacho, and that he is enjoying and getting exercise during each visit!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years - for friends, family and clients! Patience and snuggles are my motto! I can’t remember a time in my life I didn’t have an animal in my life personally and love when I’m able to help others! I work from home in a pretty flexible job- so I get to spend plenty of time with my furry friends throughout the day! Walks, pets, snuggles and treats! I lean towards what makes you feel best! I am used to animals that are well trained and ones that are still learning and growing. Safety of the pets and those around are always what is most important!

About: I have always been an animal person. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, both girls, both high energy breeds. I also have 2 cats who are now about 7yrs old. I worked with a dog boarding/day care for a little over a year where I was a lead caregiver to lots of doggos at once! I am currently between jobs so that leaves me plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I am an early bird so I like to get things done early in the day, which usually leads to a happy afternoon nap for all my animals :) If you allow me to have the pleasure of caring for your fur baby in my home I would make sure to give them all the attention and all the cuddles possible. I’m big on spending time outside and going for walks so that would definitely be an item on our agenda!

About: I love taking care of animals and I have recently been pet sitting more and I love it. I grew up with 2 cats and 2 dogs. I’m in college right now so I miss being able to take care of animals so this is a way I still can! I am a college student currently and have a part time job but my schedule is pretty flexible and I can make pretty much anything work with enough notice! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I pay close attention to their routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs. My apartment is clean and pet-friendly, and I create a calm environment so they feel at home. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care.

About: Ive been taking care of dogs and cats my entire life, including my friends. I’ve had dogs my entire life, I have two currently. I’ve had many other animals including cats, geckos, guinea pigs, turtles, and rabbits. I love animals truly so much and am studying environmental science to protect them and our planet! I’m available anyday of the week! I live in Surprise and am a student at GCC, I have school from Monday through Thursday from 10 AM to 2:30 PM! I know how pets can get, and be nervous around people so I know to never push them and give them space! It’s very important to build trust with them and not immediately pet them. I always feed them of course, and if they’re social I give them so much attention!

About: I've taken care of a variety of mammals (including dogs and cats) my whole life. I am a recent graduate of veterinary school looking to grow in the veterinary industry by getting as much experience as possible with all kinds of animals. Who doesn't want a pet sitter who has veterinary experience. Not only do I know you're friends' needs, I am able to address any medical concerns that you may have. I am unable to do boarding at my own home at this time, but I have plenty of time throughout the week with any kind of service you need. Including overnight stays. ** I provide a complimentary grooming and nail trim if wanted with EVERY visit!! I am comfortable working in any kind of home that you have, I can guarantee you will be satisfied with how well I work with your furry friend.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from small pups to large breeds. I've also cared for dogs with special needs that required extra attention, patience, and individualized care. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and what makes them feel comfortable and safe. Whether that means plenty of playtime and walks, a little extra patience, or simply lots of attention and affection, I'll treat your dog like they're part of the family. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love while you're away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and of course lots of attention and affection. When a dog is in my care, I’m happy to adjust my routine around what they’re used to at home. Whether they need early morning walks, scheduled meals, extra potty breaks, medication, or just someone around to keep them company, I want to make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. I also enjoy staying active, so having a four-legged companion along for walks is always a plus! 🐾 Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, sleeping arrangements, and any special care your pet may need. I know some dogs adjust to new people and places right away, while others need a little extra time and patience. I’m happy to let your dog settle in at their own pace and give them the attention, playtime, exercise, or quiet time that fits their personality. Safety is always a priority, and I’ll keep a close eye on your pet while they’re in my care. I also know how reassuring it is to hear that your pet is doing well while you’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout their stay. 🐾

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life — from dogs and cats to birds and bunnies — and caring for them comes as naturally to me as breathing. Our home was always full of furry (and sometimes feathered!) friends, and that love has only grown over the years. When you trust me with your pet, you’re not just hiring a sitter — you’re choosing someone who will treat them like family. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or simply keeping them company, your pet will be safe, happy, and deeply loved. Let me give you peace of mind while you’re away — your fur baby will be in warm, caring hands! 🔆😊 I work from home full-time, which means I have the flexibility and availability to give your pets the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether they need extra playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll be there to accommodate their needs. Just let me know when you need me — I’m ready to help! I live in an apartment with my husband, our 2-year-old boy, and our dog who loves the company of other fur buddies! We have a dog park right inside our complex, perfect for safe, fun playtime and daily walks. It’s a calm, loving environment where your pet will feel right at home.

About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for all kinds of pets, including fish, hedgehogs, hamsters, cats, and dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities! Whether it's feeding the fish, giving belly rubs, or handling high-energy pups, I'm here to give your fur (and fin!) babies the love and attention they deserve. I work from home and have Fridays and weekends available for assisting and caring for your pet! Whether you need someone to stop by for a potty break while you’re at work or out for dinner with friends, or you need help while you’re out of town, I’m available to help! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I care for your pets in their own home, where they feel secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I follow your routines closely—whether it's mealtime, walks, or meds—and always treat your home with the utmost respect and care. You can count on me to keep things calm, clean, and pawsitively peaceful while you're away.

About: Dogs have always been family to me. About 15 years ago, I turned that love into a career, and for 10 years, I owned K9-Games, a dog training business specializing in in-home training and board-and-train programs. I’m a certified dog trainer and behavior specialist and a graduate of Starmark Academy for Professional Dog Trainers in Texas. Throughout my career, I’ve cared for and trained hundreds of dogs, from eight-week-old puppies to seniors. I’ve also shared my life with two German Shepherds and an English Mastiff, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your dog. Puppies hold a special place in my heart! A happy puppy is one whose needs are met—and I’m here to help with potty breaks, playtime, learning, and plenty of love. I can help with housebreaking, basic obedience, leash manners, polite greetings, and socialization while reinforcing the routines and training you’re working on at home. I’m also comfortable supporting dogs who need a slower introduction and extra time to feel at ease. My experience goes beyond walks and training. Administering medications was part of my daily routine at K9-Games, and I have years of experience caring for dogs with medication needs and supporting dogs recovering from surgery. I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your veterinarian’s care plan, including prescribed medications, activity restrictions, and recovery routines. I offer walks and drop-in visits tailored to your dog’s needs, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and agreed-upon training reinforcement. From an energetic puppy to a senior who needs a gentler pace, I’ll take the time to understand what makes your dog comfortable and keep their care consistent with your routine. For repeat clients and dogs I care for regularly, I’m also open to discussing care while you’re out of town, depending on availability and your dog’s needs. Building a relationship over time means your dog will already know me, and I’ll know their personality, routines, and preferences. My goal is to provide consistent, loving care with someone both you and your dog trust. You’ll receive photo updates and a recap after every visit, including walks, meals, potty breaks, and anything noteworthy. I want you to feel connected and confident in your dog’s care, even when you can’t be there. After K9-Games closed, I moved into a different field. Recently losing my oldest dog reminded me that working with dogs is what truly brings me joy. Returning to dog care feels like coming back to something I’ve always loved. I’m knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely invested in the dogs I care for. My own dogs are my family, and I’ll care for yours with that same love, patience, and attention. The first part of my day is dedicated to my first love—dogs! I’m available during that time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medications, and puppy care, including potty breaks and training reinforcement. Later in the day, I volunteer at a jiu-jitsu school, supporting children and their families. Caring for others—whether they have two legs or four—is something that brings me joy. I schedule visits around those commitments so each dog receives the time and attention they deserve. For regular clients, I’m happy to discuss a consistent schedule that works for your dog’s routine. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my first priorities. Before care begins, I’ll take the time to learn about their routine, personality, medical needs, and any behavioral concerns or triggers. With 15 years of experience and a background as a certified dog trainer and behavior specialist, I understand the importance of building trust and allowing each dog to feel comfortable at their own pace. When caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and training reinforcement. I have years of experience administering medications and caring for dogs recovering from surgery, and I’ll carefully follow your veterinarian’s instructions and any activity restrictions. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and potential hazards, and I’ll check that your dog’s collar or harness is secure before walks. I won’t allow off-leash activity in unsecured areas or introduce your dog to unfamiliar animals without discussing it with you first. Each visit will be tailored to your dog’s age, energy level, health, and comfort. You’ll receive photos and a recap after every visit, and I’ll promptly communicate any changes or concerns I notice. Before our first visit, I’ll also confirm your veterinarian’s information and an emergency contact so I’m prepared if an unexpected situation arises. I’ll respect your home, keep your keys and access information secure, and make sure your dog is settled and your home is locked according to your instructions before leaving. My goal is for you to feel confident that both your dog and your home are in caring, responsible hands.
