About: I have been an animal lover all my life. My own dogs have all been my absolute greatest joy. They have turned my care and love for them into a passion for wanting to help care for many pets. I have experience caring for animals with the utmost care for over 20 years but have more specifically been doing a lot of pet sitting for about 10 years. I mainly care for dogs and cats but occasionally care for fish, birds, and reptiles. I will provide a level a care for your animals like I provide for my own. I know what it's like to leave things in the hands of a sitter and I can assure you that the comfort, care, and safety of your animals is my highest concern. I am a good communicator and am happy to keep in touch as much as you feel comfortable with. I am currently available mostly full time to help care for your pets. Nothing makes me happier than taking care of pets! I am more than happy to include walks for dogs (time and weather permitting) with your regular visits. I can do other small tasks you might need help with during visits (time permitting) like bring in mail/packages, water plants, etc. The safety and well-being of your animals is of utmost importance to me. I will care for pets in your home based on your animal's needs. We will set up a free meet & greet ahead of time to meet at your home, go over everything that needs to be done for your pet(s), get emergency contact info, veterinary (emergency only) info, etc. I am very dependable, LOVE taking care of pets, and will help put your mind at ease.
“Absolutely amazing experience! Breanna was such a lovely and friendly personality to have and get updates from! I would absolutely recommend her anyday anytime and it was so kind of her to take a somewhat last minute booking from me! Fantastic sitter 100/10”

“Kendall was a great pet sitter. She was promptly responsive, she was careful and detail oriented in caring for my cats, provided helpful updates about my cats and home, and I would recommend her!”

“Jeff is a very conscientious and caring dog sitter. One of my dogs needs extra special care with diet and medication. he always gave bear his medication on time and his special feedings. Having him take care of my dogs, added a great piece of mind during my vacation. I plan on using Jeff on a regular basis he is great and reliable”

“Andrew and Sophia are wonderful dog sitters! Pinion needed drop-in visits when I returned to work, and they were fantastic with him. They are true dog listeners and took the time to understand his needs. I received daily visit reports with pictures, and they even surprised me with a sweet rhyming poem about Pinion. They truly went above and beyond for my little guy!”

About: Hi my name is Jules! I have lived my whole life with pets and have experience in caring for a wide variety of animals (dogs, cats, horses, and Leopard Geckos, just to name a few). I lived with a medically complex dog for many years and am comfortable with just about anything a four-legged creature can throw at me. I currently have two cats and four dogs so I am used to managing a full house! I can't wait to bring that same love and care to your pets, nothing makes me happier than giving pet parents peace of mind. I will spend no more than 4 hours away from your pet. Walks will need to be scheduled in the early morning to avoid the summer heat. If you have a schedule that your pet follows, please provide it and I will follow it so your pet can maintain their routine. I want to maintain as much "normalcy" for your pet as possible. If you have a set routine for mealtimes and walks, I will follow your schedule, if not, I will listen to the cues your pet gives me and maintain the house as usual. If there is a usual route you take for walks, please provide me with a map and I will follow the same path. While you are away, I will maintain a clean house and always make sure to clean up after myself and your pet. If the garbage/recycling needs to be taken out please let me know and I can put it on the curb as well as collecting mail if needed.
About: I know how to take care of animals that are highly reactive due to my sweet rescue. I was raised around lots of different animals since I was a toddler and often watched on them even as a small child. As I got older and my mother started leaving for weeks for work so I’d watch my dog, cat, and two tree frogs on my own for years. I currently have two dogs and cat I care for that are happy and healthy. I’ve also always participated in neighbor dog walking and frequently volunteer at shelters. I am in school Monday through Thursday but am available early morning and late night those days and can be flexible. Weekend are completely open. I always remain courteous and respectful in other peoples private spaces. A persons home is incredibly private and I would make sure that trust is kept. I will follow your instructions exactly and make sure your pet and you are happy!
“Our family highly recommends Amanda to take care of your fur baby! Amanda was awesome with our 5 month Goldendoodle puppy! Our Goldendoodle didn’t want her to leave! :) That’s how much he loves her! She quickly responded to our pet sit request. She asked great questions about the care of our puppy. We are definitely booking Amanda again!”

“Emma was fantastic! Lots of updates and pictures. She even let me add on a day semi last second. I forgot my own travel plans. The dogs loved her. We would definitely use her again.”

About: I have been taking care of pets since before I could remember. I believe that pets are what make the world go round, and always strive to make them as happy as can be! I have a small, calm dog and cat here in Arizona, and two large, crazy dogs back in Maine. I definitely understand how both ends of the spectrum can be! All my pets have made it from early puppy, to late senior so I understand the vital importance and factors of taking care of a youthful/elderly pet. I am only working part-time at the moment so taking care of your pets on the weekend is not a problem for me! I also work early mornings so I am free in the afternoons/evenings during the week for all services except overnight stay! MY HOUSE: I have a small, calm/friendly dog that would love to keep your furry friend company. He can be locked away in a separate area of the house if needed! I also have a small, calm/friendly cat but she will be locked away for all visitations/overnights because she gets scared easily. I have a beautiful fenced in backyard with a pool and fake grass. All pet waste gets cleaned up so it’s always hygienic. I will take your dog for a long walk 2 times per day. I will follow your desired feeding/play schedule and administer any medicine if needed. YOUR HOUSE: I will do all the same as listed above! If you have no fenced backyard, I will take your dog on multiple walks a day to get their energy out. I will also follow any crate training instructions if desired.
About: I grew up on a farm taking care of animals my whole life, in all shapes and sizes! When I moved to the city for school, lots of people asked me to pet sit and I loved it so much I hope to continue! I just moved to the Phoenix area and I can’t wait to meet new customers (and their owners 😉). Currently my schedule is completely flexible and I can accommodate any needs, even very short notice! Feel free to reach out day of and we can make it work! I’m happy to follow any routines you have with your animals! Since my schedule is so flexible, I’m comfortable feeding or walking morning, noon, or night. I’m also comfortable delivering medication.
“This was the first time ever I have used a pet sitting service, or anybody to care for my dog. I am very particular. my dog is special-needs. She requires supplements and special diet etc.. Brandon did an amazing job he came when he said he was going to be there. He sent me Texas after each visit of what was going on and he always sent 3 to 5 pictures every visit, and it just was so comforting to me that I was able to actually enjoy my trip and not worry about my dog being taken care of well .. I will use Brandon always in the future to care for Sushi and any other pets, I may acquire in the future thank you, Brandon you are terrific. You are so detail oriented and committed to what you do. I really appreciate you!”

“Very friendly and reliable! I was able to relax and enjoy myself knowing Gwyn was stopping by to take care of my Coco. I recommend highly and will definitely be using Gwyn again.”
“Sydney is amazing!!!! She took such great care of our 3 cats and even made an extra trip to check on them when a couple of them did not want to come out of hiding. ? We will definitely continue to hire her!!”

About: I used to work with rescue animals and have learned a great deal about what it takes to truly care for animals. Patience, love, understanding, and knowledge of behaviors are among the most important skills I know. I promise to keep your beloved pets safe, love them and care for them. Currently, I have two rescue kitties 🐈⬛, I have owned/lived with dogs 🐕 my whole life, and I used to have a 55 gallon fish 🐟 tank. My work, and volunteer experience at rescues and shelters has provided me some experience with spicy 🌶️ behavior. I am flexible, I work for a major hospital Monday-Wednesday. This is my part time job the 4 days I’m not at work :) I really only need 24 hr notice. If you are in dire need of your pet to be checked on I can do my best to accommodate shorter notice. I cannot board any pets, or stay overnight. I have two kitties 🐈⬛ of my own to care for. I do house visits and walks.
About: Certified vet tech for 7 years! I’ve always pet sat for clients, friends, and family on the side! My biggest help is word of mouth. I have plenty of references I can send! I love bonding with your pet and making them feel safe as well as allowing you to be less stressed during your time away from them! I currently am full time employed at an animal hospital. My favorite thing to do is keep you updated with pictures each day of your cutie or cuties! I currently work full time in Fountain Hills! I’m off one full day during the week and off Sundays as well and most Saturdays. I occasionally work Saturdays but only until noon! For now I would have to stop by morning and night (lunchtime on my off days or if your house is near my work) and after work!

Sibel is amazing! She did such a wonderful job taking care of our sweet old cats while we were out of town. She made sure each one had individualized attention and lots of love, deapite them being shy, and shared lots of pictures with us! All of this made us feel so much better being away from our kitties, especially knowing that they were in loving and attentive hands. We would love to have Sibel as our pet sitter any time!
