“Fantastic dogsitter (and photographer)! Hillary went above and beyond for my boy, was extremely attentive, and provided great updates. Will definitely hope to hire her again”

About: I’ve always been that person who helps out with family pets just because I love taking care of them. A few years ago, I finally got a dog of my own, and that’s when I really got into training—learning how to communicate with her, build routines, and understand how she thinks. Now, I bring that same care and attention to every pet I watch, making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I am a college student with a flexible schedule. This means i can adjust my availability based on your pets' needs, whether it's check-ins throughout the day or last minute help. I do not do stays in my own home at the moment as my dog is not always good with other dogs/animals, but I am able to make it out to you to do care in your own home. I learn quickly, and i use this to my advantage as i learn to give each pet their best individualized care.

About: I have lots of experience with dogs and cats. Throughout my childhood animals were my escape from reality. My dad bred dogs and I always loved them so much it was hard to say goodbye. In high school I took in a stray cat and it kept getting pregnant so I raised like 5 litters of kittens as well. To be honest I like animals more than people your babies are in good hands. I like to walk and get my steps in everyday so it won’t be much different walking with the doggos. I have dog and catsit for close friends and family but never strangers. Excited to do it! I work from home and my job is very flexible. I am my own boss so I can pretty much take breaks whenever I need to take your fur baby on walks or feed them as well as give them lots of attention when needed. My availability is very open and I love all animals. Since I work from home I’ll always be here to make sure your animal is well cared for and happy. I also go on multiple walks daily anyways to try and stay active so its perfect!!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for 2 years for family and friends. I enjoy volunteering at the human society where I have taken dogs out on walks. I am a recent graduate of the University of Arizona with a very flexible schedule and open availability. I love spending time with animals and would be excited to care for and spend time with your furry friends. I provide pet care exclusively in clients' homes so your dog or cat can remain comfortable in a familiar environment. I will ensure your pets receive attentive care while keeping your home clean, secure, and properly locked up when I leave.

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My first dog was a Chihuahua who lived to be 18, so I learned a lot about caring for senior dogs and making sure they stay comfortable as they grow older. I've also grown up around horses and farm animals, and I even had a leopard gecko for a couple years. Most of my friends and family have dogs too, so I've spent plenty of time around all kinds of personalities and energy levels. Being around animals has always been something I enjoy! I'm a full time college student, so I have lots of extra time to care for your beloved companions! I have my own transportation and extremely flexible times. I live in an apartment with my Belgian Malinois, so I know firsthand how important exercise, structure, and routine can be, especially for high-energy dogs! I'm very organized and always do my best to stick to each pet's normal schedule so they feel comfortable and at home.

“Keva did a great job introducing herself to Mojo. He is usually very slow to warm up, but he accepted her very quickly. We have booked her for more walks!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for many years, especially my German Shepherd growing up, who was mainly my responsibility. She was trained as a security dog and needed a lot of structure, consistency, and control, so I learned how to confidently handle strong, high energy dogs and maintain training over time. Since she was reactive around other people and dogs, I became very attentive on walks and learned how important patience, awareness, and trust are when caring for animals. I genuinely love spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, so I have time throughout the week to care for pets. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I enjoy being active, so daily walks and playtime easily fit into my routine. I’m also responsible and organized, which helps me stay consistent with feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any specific instructions your pet may need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Growing up with a trained German Shepherd taught me how important structure, patience, and awareness are when caring for animals, especially dogs with strong personalities or special needs. I always pay close attention during walks, avoid unsafe situations, and follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I work hard to create a calm and trusting environment so pets feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.

“Logan responded quickly to my request to walk my dog while I was gone over labor day weekend. Logan was easy to communicate with and my dog was very well taken care of!”

“Sarah was amazing! She was interactive with my pups and patient and willing to come out and meet them and get to know their personalities. Will definitely be using her in the future.”

My experience includes administering medication, monitoring behavior and health, and providing personal care for pets of all ages.

I have gated backyard open anytime for supervised playtime. I always monitor behavior, any signs of illness or injury and always communicate updates promptly to owners. I take security very seriously and make sure doors, gates, and windows are closed and locked. My goal is to provided dependable and compassion for all pets under my care so they feel safe and owners have peace of mind while they are away.

About: I've had dogs most of my life. First was Lance, a Springer Spaniel, when i was 4-yrs old. Add German Shorthair Pointers, Weimeraners, Labs, both English and Anerican Cocker Spaniels, terrier mix breeds and my current pup is a Long Hair Chihuahua. Most of my dogs have been shelter rescues. Also, I foster dogs for local shelters. I am retired and spend most of my time at home working in my new garden reading, or crafting. When we have dog guests, our time is devoted primarily to our visitors. Human away time rarely exceeds 4-hrs per day. I have a large fenced yard to run and play in whenever they want Chewy, the Chihuahua, is a friendly companion. Indoors is a dog-friendly/dog priority 3-bdrm home. Plenty of space if a visitor needs some quiet privacy or a mim with pups wants separation. Daily walks add to our exercise regime. Balls, frisbees and dogs are shared. Treats abound!

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'm a lover of every animal I've ever met, with a background in pediatrics, medication administration, foster animal care, neo-natal pet care, first aid and pet/house sitting. I've personally had cats and dogs since I was very young, other small animals as pets as an adult (rats, chickens, goats) and have spent much of my life caring for the pets of friends and loved ones when I couldn't have pets of my own. I love to provide training for young kittens and pups, and have a special love for elderly and special needs animals. We are new to Tucson and hoping to meet and care for as many animals as possible! I am a consultant who works remotely and also own a home in Tucson, complete with my own pets. As such, I have a strict policy of honoring my clients' trust and delivering the quality of care that I would hope for our own home and loved ones. I'm a consultant with a very flexible, remote schedule. I can easily adapt my meeting and work schedule around the needs of pets and others. I like to have conversations about what will make families and clients most at ease at the beginning of our time working together, and then follow through to make sure trust is built quickly and deeply. This can include following special protocols, providing lots of photos and videos, and calling or texting immediately if something arises that I don't yet know the answer to, such as how to help an animal through a surprise stressful situation or where a favorite toy might be hiding. I am engaged and attentive and learn animals' boundaries and interests quickly and easily.

About: I am a pet owner and I foster dogs with different personalities and backgrounds. I am always patient with the animals in my care and consider their different experiences with caution. Currently, I am working towards a degree in animal sciences and have taken care of puppies and kittens from 1 day old to 18 years old. I love every animal I meet and will care for your pet as if they were my own! I am currently a full-time student and work part time making me available most weekends. I try my best to keep my schedule open to please the owners convince. I crate train my foster dogs at home while still giving them plenty of time outside of the crate to play with them and keep their brain stimulated.

“Sheila was wonderful! She helped walk two of our dogs while I was away and was great to work with. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were getting out and cared for. I would absolutely recommend her.”

I also have two fur babies of my own who receive plenty of walks, attention, and affection, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as well. I’m currently enrolled at the University of Arizona studying medicine, and I’ve taken several animal related classes simply because of my passion for animals. I’m a very patient, reliable, and attentive person who will treat your pet with the same care and love as my own.

I am very attentive and patient when it comes to caring for animals. I try to be observant to my dogs behaviors to see if soemthing is off and I try to keep a decently consistent schedule with feeding and potty breaks. I also make sure they have enough water especially in Arizona heat.

“Abriana is fantastic, very patient. Abriana took as much time as my guy Otis needed to get comfortable. It worked :). Otis, who is extremely skittish, warmed up and even sat on Abriana’s lap!!!! Thank you, Abriana!!!”
