“Treva continues to be an exceptional dog sitter for my girl, Nugget. When I have to be gone for long periods of time at work or to run errands where she can’t come, it’s nice to know she’s being so well cared for and in a safe place! I highly recommend Treva!”

MARCIA P.

“Lauren is awesome!! She accepted my last minute request and made me feel so comfortable and safe with leaving my babies in her care. She provided updates throughout the day and took great care of Suki and George!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without pets. I grew up with four dogs and a cat, and I’ve raised kittens from birth, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet snuggles, I’ll provide your pets with the love and attention they deserve. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to keep your furry family members happy and cared for! I work from home, so my schedule is extremely flexible! I’m available for early mornings, midday check-ins, evening care, and even last-minute requests. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, extra playtime, or extended care, I’ll work around your schedule to ensure they get the attention they deserve. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable and explore. I live in a large apartment, offering room for them to roam and relax. We’re located right across the street from a beautiful park and just a walk away from Margaret T Hance dog park. When caring for pets, I tailor my approach to their unique needs and preferences, whether that’s quiet relaxation, playtime, or lots of walks and trips to the park. I prioritize their comfort and safety, ensuring they feel happy and at home, whether we’re indoors or enjoying the outdoors together.

“I was traveling from out of state and had to attend GCU last min. Zinnia responded right away and helped me with Blake. She is truly the best and Blake enjoyed her time with her. Thank you again Zinnia for your help and responding back right away. Will recommend to anyone!!”

“Sid had so much fun at Jenya’s house with her and her pups. He came home tired from all the fun. Thank you Jenya for being so flexible and available for my 530AM drop off time & for all the awesome pictures and videos. Sid can’t wait to come back and Play!”

“Kate is wonderful to work with - she's easy to communicate with and clearly very knowledgeable about dogs. My dog is now a regular with her and the difference has been amazing already. He's so much less stressed than he was when I used to take him to Dogtopia, and I have peace of mind knowing he's in such good hands. I highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for someone who truly understands and cares about pets!”

Madison S.

“I booked a day for my baby Granger and Ash was just wonderful. She kept me updated on Granger's activities and provided me with pictures and a video of her taking Granger for a walk. We were extremely impressed with the services she provided and will book with Ash next time we're in town. I highly recommend her! Thank you Ash for taking good care of Granger.”

“Diesel had a great stay with Adrianna! I appreciated her timely response to my initial inquiry as well as the time she took to schedule a meet and greet. She was able to answer any questions I had. I felt confident leaving Diesel in her care.”

Caitlin G.

“Lorin was fantastic! Our frenchies had a wonderful time with her and her family. She was understanding to our schedule and was very accommodating to our dogs needs. We received a lot of updates and pictures, and pick up and drop off was a breeze. I can tell by the pictures and videos sent they had fun while in her care.”

Tara P.

“I really appreciate you keeping the baby for us.. she was very responsive with updates would definitely use her again”

About: When you're away, you want to know your dog is happy, healthy, and cared for like family. As a Rover client myself, I know how much thought goes into finding a sitter who will truly care for your beloved pet. More than anything, I want your dog to feel genuinely loved, not just looked after. . I understand that each dog is unique, so I'll partner w/ you and build a routine around what your pup actually needs, provide individualized attention, enrichment, and a calm, structured environment. Updates and photos will be provided as often as you want, and communication will be professional and prompt. . Centrally located in downtown Phoenix, under 15 minutes from PHX airport, in a secure building complex. My home is calm, clean, and puppy-proofed, with all dog supplies, toys, grooming products, bedding, and furnishings chosen specifically for safety and hygiene. You and your dog can expect a well-maintained, hypoallergenic-conscious environment, alongside Tater Tot (my 3.5 year old, professionally trained, spunky silky terrier) and my pup adoring partner, Justin. . Meet n' Greets are encouraged, in-person or virtual (video) to make sure it's a good fit for everyone. If your pup does better one-on-one, with gentle structure, individualized attention, and endless pampering, I'd love to meet them! . Background: . Dogs, cats, horses, aquatic pets, animals big and small - if it had fur, fins, scales, or feathers, I’ve cared for them all! I have over 40 years nurturing and loving animals: training award-winning service dogs for people who have physical disabilities, raising Clydesdale draft horses in a rural Midwestern farming community, and volunteering at PAWS, Chicago's largest no-kill shelter. A close family friend's parents worked in veterinary medicine, and I spent years shadowing their practice in the office and in the countryside. Also, I frequently travel to pet sit for friends locally and cross-country, and I'll bring that same level of trust and attentiveness to your pup. . Between my own pets and the animals I grew up around, I have real, hands-on experience with puppies, seniors, rescues, special needs, terminal illness, intestinal ailments, medications, subcutaneous fluid administration, food allergies and specialized diets, training reinforcement/techniques, behavioral issues, and grooming and hygiene best practices. . I do best with puppies (AVSAB guidelines for safety and socialization), senior dogs, pups with special diets or allergies, and dogs needing extra patience or a quieter setup. Puppies get structured routines and positive reinforcement. Seniors get a slower pace and attention to mobility and medication timing. Allergies and special diets are followed exactly. For dogs with behavioral sensitivities, whether that's noise, other animals, or new environments, I adjust the pace and space to keep them comfortable rather than forcing interaction. . My pets: . My silky terriers have always been by my side, first Addi, and now Tater Tot. Addi made the journey with me from Chicago to coastal Southern California to Phoenix, and we spent those years road tripping, hiking, camping, kayaking, and exploring together. She lived a full life to 16, including managing Cushing's syndrome and eventually renal failure with consistent, attentive medical care in her final years. That experience taught me patient, individualized care, something I bring into every dog I look after. Tater Tot, now 3.5 years old, joined our family here in Arizona after Addi crossed the 🌈 bridge. I am 100% available for your pup all day long, so pet care fits naturally into my normal routine rather than being squeezed around it. Feeding, medication, and walks happen on your dog's exact schedule, not mine. Walks are timed around Phoenix heat, always in shaded areas and during the cooler parts of the day; your dog will always be walked or get outside for a potty break regardless of temperature. Between scheduled care, I'm present in the home for calm companionship, not leaving your dog alone for long stretches. For short-term stays and overnight boarding at my residence, here's what to expect. . Household members: . - My partner works remotely. Kind-natured, with years of experience caring for friends' and family's pets. He grew up with golden retrievers, goldendoodles, and other pets. - Tater Tot, our 3.5 year old silky terrier, completed private 1:1 obedience training with a professional, certified trainer. He is fully vaccinated, on tick/flea guard and preventative heartworm medication. Responds to basic commands, plays well with other dogs, and is polite around people and animals. Adaptable in new environments, walks well on a leash, comfortable in the car, and potty-pad/crate-trained. - We don't feed our pets people food due to health/diet restrictions, but let us know if yours enjoys sharing. - Vaccination and preventative med records available if you'd like to see them. . Living conditions: . -Secure 2,000 sq. ft. residence in a gated multi-unit community, single floor, clean and puppy-proofed. Bedrooms can be gated off, and there's room to setup a pen or crate in the living area. - Your dog will always be walked or go outside for potty breaks. Timing is adjusted around Phoenix heat conditions and matched to your dog's leash comfort and energy level. Getting outside requires an elevator or four flights of stairs, which I factor into scheduling. - If your pup is potty pad trained and does not wish to be walked in the extreme heat, we've created a dedicated, secure, and hygienic potty area on our balcony (3 ft railings), since we don't have an adjoining yard. - The neighborhood is dog-friendly and walkable, a mix of homes, apartments, shops, and restaurants. Hance Park is about a mile away, and if your pup is athletic, we can drive to any local Mountain Preserve for some on-leash hiking, weather permitting.

“Taylor is FABULOUS! Our dogs were so happy to hang out with her for an evening while we were out on the town. Would highly recommend Taylor and we will definitely use her again. 5 stars !”

“Amazing amount of communication, stellar care, and my girl had a blast! The location is perfect and Marina took amazing care and I had no worries. I couldn’t be happier!”

About: EXPERIENCE - We've had a variety of pets over the last 25+ years, including dogs, cats, chickens, lovebirds, fish, and tortoises! Right now we have two snuggly 5-year-old pups plus a kitty that hides in a bedroom when she doesn't want to hang out with the dogs. :) We've been pet sitting regularly for friends and family for the last 7+ years. MEET & GREET - We require a brief meet & greet in our front yard before all bookings, to ensure your pet and our pets are a great fit. Thanks for understanding. CRATE TRAINED ONLY - We crate or corral visiting dogs at night and when no one is home to supervise interactions. They must already be crate trained so this feels comfortable and not stressful for them. :) BEHAVIOR - Please only request stays for dogs that are well behaved since we have a big family and plenty going on. All dogs must be friendly with other dogs and with children, and must not attack cats (our daughter's cat generally stays out of the way, but some dogs are intent on hunting her down). We cannot accept requests from high energy dogs at this time. NOT AVAILABLE FOR - Sorry, we don't take pit bulls or huskies. We had a bad experience with a pit, and one of our kids is very allergic to huskies. FUN FACT - We prioritize using non-toxic products for home and personal care. There are no chemical fragrances or toxic cleaners in our home, which could irritate your pet's skin or lungs. SCHEDULE - I'm a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu self-defense instructor with a flexible schedule, so I'm home a lot (typically gone 2 - 4 hours a day for classes). AROUND THE HOUSE - All pups run free in the house when we're home. We have a block fence around our backyard, and a locked alley gate. FURNITURE - Dogs are only allowed on beds/sofas when invited. The exception is a special chair that looks out to the street. It's a favorite perch! See pics under Ollie & Paisley's profiles. :) Even dogs that are used to being on the furniture tend to adjust quickly to these limitations when somewhere else. CRATE TRAINED ONLY - **For safety, we crate visiting dogs at night and when no one is not home to supervise interactions. They must already be crate trained so this feels comfortable and not stressful for them.**

“David was fantastic. We left our dog worry-free and really enjoyed ourselves in Scottdale. Dave was [personable, professional, and clearly a dog lover of all dogs.”

“We feel so lucky to have found Nadia. She took very good care of our babies. It was the first time we left them with someone other than family. We will definitely rebook with her.”
