“She was amazing. Kept me up-to-date with what was going on with my fur babies. She followed all of the instructions I had for her , on feedings , taking out the liter box , and play time! Completely recommend her :).”


“Lorin was awesome, she took great care of my fluff ball and my fluff hates everyone!! She’s a feral rescue kitty so I’m her only person but somehow Lorin was partially accepted and even allowed to scratch her chin which makes me soooo happy. Poor kitty loves chin scratches but only from me so this was huge and made my time away easier. Highly recommend Lorin!”


“Rachel did a great job watching my cat and parrot! It takes awhile for my parrot to warm up to people but she seemed really happy with Rachel on the first round of pet sitting (which is a big relief for me!). My kitty is currently in stage 2 of kidney failure and she gave her the care and attention she needed. She did more than I asked such as keeping the litter box clean, pet dishes, and cleaned up any vomit from when my cat got sick. I plan to hire her again!! Thanks Rachel!”


About: I’ve cared for many cats over the past 7 years and currently have 15 of my own, so I’m very familiar with feeding routines, litter box cleaning, and different cat personalities. I’ve also helped with dogs for friends and family — feeding them, keeping them company, and making sure they feel safe. I love walking, so I enjoy getting dogs out for fresh air and movement. While I’m still growing my experience with dogs, I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect like they’re my own. Pet care is my main focus right now, so I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, or dog walking. I have a flexible schedule and reliable availability. I treat every pet and home with care and respect. I follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away.

About: I've had at least 1 dog by my side my whole life! I also currently foster for the local rescues. So experience with dogs is very much my strong suit! What your pup(s) can expect: I will be home with your pup(s) at all times. I have 4 dogs of my own and we've never met a dog we didn't get along with. If your pup would rather not socialize I can make accommodation for them as well in a separate quiet room. The day will consist of whatever fun we can find.. playing fetch, I just bought a doggy swimming pool, a few treats here and there as rewards for good behavior and probably just because they're the good boy or girl too, and just hanging out with me in front of the TV. And yes, doggos are welcome on the furniture. Unless requested otherwise. They will have access via doggy door (it's big enough my rottie can fit through) to the outside yard at all times. If there's more that is required by your pup like medication I can do that too! What the pet parent can expect: I am available 24/7/365 yep, that's including the holidays. Updated picture messages of your pet throughout the day. Lots of love and attention!! And tons of pets! I am home 99% of the day. I do leave to walk to the mailbox which is just a 5 min walk away. Your doggo will probably go with me anyways. In my home I will treat them as I do my own. I do have 6ft. Tall fencing all around my yard that's wrapped in privacy fencing that covers all of it. On the bottom of the chain link fencing I have basically sewn with fencing wire, chicken wire that's been buried under the dirt and held down with cinder blocks, just in case! So no one can jump over or dig out of my yard unless they're a Houdini dog.

“We totally felt at ease during time away from home because Shelby was so thoughtful, texting photos of our kitty and giving a few words on what our boy was doing. Highly recommend Shelby! We will be calling her back!”


“Cheryl is very dependable, and offers great suggestions. She is prompt with her visit summaries and provides photos. Its soo nice to receive the updates as to how the visits went. I couldn't be happier. ”


About: Hello — my name is Christopher and I am currently stationed here at Fort Benning. I’ve been around animals my entire life, and honestly, if this army thing doesn’t work out, I’d love to be a Vet. I’m always the “go-to” person to watch after family/friends animals — they love it here! I’m currently working from 0900 to 1500 everyday . I am waiting to leave to my follow on assignment, which will be around March. My wife works from home, so she will be there every hour of the day! I have an open house for your animals. My house is four bedrooms, and the area outside is the perfect area for a dogs dream

“Our kitties loved Courtnie! She made sure they got lots of pets, love and treats ? while we were gone! She sent lots of pics of our buddies so we got to see them each day. ? We knew they were in good hands the whole time!”


About: Hello! My name is Faith and I am a HUGE animal lover. I have had animals all my life ranging from pocket pets to medium/large dogs. I have worked in a kennel or Veterinary facility since I was 16. This gives me 7 years of animal care experience and some veterinary knowledge. I have worked with a wide range of breeds and also have experience with animals that have special needs such as insulin injections, oral medications, eye drops, etc. I am available week days with flexible hours and weekend hours are negotiable due to being a military wife. YOUR PETS WILL BE TREATED AS IF THEY WERE MY OWN! I have references upon request for review and am available for contact between 5 am to 11 pm. I am a SAHM so hours are flexible for walks and drop-in visits during the week. I am unavailable between 10:30am to 12:30pm during the week. On weekends I have full availability. Due to my experience I can care for a wide variety of pets and their needs. This can range from pocket pets like hamsters to large dogs. I can accommodate almost any need upon request.

About: Hi! Available for Santa Cruz and Cochise Counties, including Ft Huachuca. I grew up on a farm, worked at a vet clinic, and have always had animals and pets when my life permitted. I have a passion for our furry "family members" as well as learning all different types of animal behavior. Dogs, cats, horses, cows, donkeys, fish, and even took care of a camel a time or two. My professional and athletic life has taken me around the world, and frankly, caring for pets of family, friends and neighbors throughout the years has still always been a most gratifying highlight! I have the patience and energy to match dogs of all temperaments, so let me know how I can support you and your family! If my profile is visible, it means I have plenty of time to help out with your furry family members, be it pet-sitting, walking, or just checking in on them. I have a highly-flexible schedule and a vehicle large enough to crate/transport if needed. I live on a large farm but do prefer to keep them leashed when walking (until I know they heel well AND to keep YOU more confident). I'm flexible on this based on consults with you. They would sleep indoors, and if you prefer, I could easily crate as well. Non-smoking home. You can bet I'll treat them as my own!

About: Ever since I was a young girl, I believed in the overall happiness and well-being of all kinds of pets. I have one (1) year of experience caring for my friends’ pets; namely dogs, cats, and fish at my home as well. Those are the pets I am most comfortable with and in each pet caring role I have gotten wiser about their needs. It has been an enjoyable experience taking exceptional care for their health and well-being. I am currently not working, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pets! I am available for walking and drop-in visits on weekdays (Monday through Friday) from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Upon request and schedule planning, I can occasionally work beyond the scheduled eight (8) hours and part time on the weekends (4 hours each on Saturday and Sunday). Depending on your location, I will drive to your home and look after your pet how you would like for me to care for them. I am always happy to accommodate! Common tasks I will perform based on your preferences are to take your pet out for an enjoyable stroll to give it plenty of exercise and relief, drop off at your house fully recharged, and provide them food and water with the resources you have available at your home. By the time our play date is over, your pet will receive the feeding, playtime, petting, and happiness it deserves. My goal is to ensure that your pet and you, the owner, are completely satisfied with my selfless service and attention to your needs. Give this pet lover a shot! You will not be disappointed!

About: Well I was a caregiver a large part of my job was pet care for my clients. Discovered a passion for pet care, love it. I work part-time Friday Saturday and Sunday. I have set aside Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday for my pet care. every pet is shown the same level of compassionate care that they get from family. I love and appreciate all breeds of dogs and cats. Your pet will receive extra attention and be supervised by myself while in my care.

About: I’ve always had a strong love for animals, and I feel this is the perfect opportunity to help both pets and their owners. I have a lot of experience with dog training and am especially dedicated to making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I currently have one dog, and we have a spacious home with a large, fenced-in backyard—perfect for pets to play and explore. My schedule is fairly flexible, so I can easily adjust to meet the needs of the pets I care for. I also take the time to learn about each pet’s routine and family dynamics, so I can provide a consistent, familiar environment when I'm pet-sitting, whether it's at my home or during drop-in visits. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved when their owners are away. I’m usually home most of the time, so I’m available to take care of your doggies whenever you need. With plenty of time to play and walk them, I can give them the attention they deserve. As I’m expecting, I’ve been focusing on creating a calm and caring environment for all the pets I look after, making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m really looking forward to spending time with your dogs and making sure they’re well cared for! I have a spacious, securely fenced-in yard where dogs can play and explore safely. I also have one dog who’s super friendly and gets along well with others. Whether I’m watching your dog at my home or doing a drop-in visit at yours, I always prioritize safety and comfort. If your dog is more comfortable in a crate, I’m happy to crate train them or use a crate as needed. I ensure that playtime, walks, and downtime are always supervised, and I take the time to maintain their usual routine to help them feel secure and relaxed. My goal is to provide a safe, caring environment for your dog—whether it's in my home or yours—so they feel loved and at ease while you're away.

Faith L.
“I met Faith by chance in a local pet shop when my little Shichon Sophia was only a couple of months old. I had brought Sophia home the day before, never had a dog prior to her and really did not know what to do. As soon as I talked to Faith I immediately trusted her, understood that she knew exactly what to do with Sophia and was pleased to learn that she was working at the vet clinic close by my house. I asked her to help me raise Sophia and this is exactly what she did since that day. She has been always very helpful, reliable, knowledgeable and caring, and I could not have wished for a better sitter to Sophia and friend to myself. Highly recommended.”


Laura K.
“Laura is the best with our two goldendoodles. They think of her as their alpha sister. She walks them. She spends time with them. She takes care of them with all of their medical needs and they absolutely adore her. She could be gone a year and when she comes to be with them, they instantly go nuts because they’re so happy to see her. she’s our number one choice with our boys.”
