Dog Sitting Fort McDowell

About: I am certified in canine massage, first aide & CPR. 15 years fostering, end of life care, puppy training. Huge yard. Adult son helps out. I am retired so home all day tending to garden and animals. If I’m not home then my adult son is here. Our life revolves around our pets and yours. Block wall back yard, garden fenced front porch, screen room back patio. Can create or sleep with me. Your call. My pets are chill & healthy.

“They where amazing, if your an anxious pet parent like me it can be hard to travel and to find the right sitter. They are really responsive and communicative with everything. I always got pictures and videos, and it made the trip way more relaxing. They followed the directions every-time and asked the best questions. As well as always being on time. Overall I felt good knowing they were taking care of my cat. This sitter is 100% anxiety/OCD approved🫡 I will be using them again in the future for sure.”

About: As a Kennel Technician, I provided daily care and supervision for dogs of various breeds and temperaments, including feeding, exercise, enrichment, and group play. Maintained clean and safe kennels and play areas, monitored and documented pet health and behavior, reported concerns to management, and assisted with boarding check-in/check-out while providing professional customer service to pet owners I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of availability in the afternoons for check-ins and potty breaks. Sundays and Mondays are my days off, so I’m available to spend the entire day with your pup! I have been caring for my own dogs since I was a kid, my current dog is on medication so I have no issues admistering meds if needed. I also have no problem taking dogs to appointments if needed.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve watched friends and families dogs, fed, walked, bathed, etc. and now I am looking to expand my pet care services. Prefer hypoallergenic dogs and dogs that weigh under 40 lbs, will consider all requests depending on the dog. I always had dogs since I can remember. I look forward to hearing from you! I am home full time and can cater to your dogs specific needs. I can let them out often and we can take walks, and play! I have a fenced in yard, I can allow as much outside or indoor time as your dog is use to. My house is minimal with a lot of room for your dog to explore and or just chill out and have a calm and relaxed environment.

About: I’ve been so lucky to have lived with dogs since I was born! I absolutely love dogs and have had my own dog since I was 4! I adore dogs, they have beautiful souls and I love caring for them to my best abilities. I’ve dogsat since I was 12 and always took the chance to for my neighbors or church families when they went on vacations. I enjoy spending time with them, whether that's playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company while you're away. I’m currently awaiting my abroad program so am willing to pick up any dog sitting jobs. It will be my first priority and become my routine. I leave June 5th so until that date I am available. Any jobs given to me until then honestly goes to help the kids I’m teaching in Costa Rica so thank you! I have cared for my own and other pets by treating them to their favorite treats, cuddles and quality time along with play time, if they wish. If there’s anything they need help with or need more assistance with, it makes me happy to help them. I’ve looked after blind, deaf and dogs that need assistance. I’ve cared for senior dogs, including my own. I am on top of medications and anything the dog may need.

About: I've been told by friends who have dogs, that the relationship I've built with their babes is one based on respect. That is because I am someone who is observant, and looks for the right cues before attempting to step into their comfort zone. Which is why when I'm asked to care for their pets, they can trust that I am there to look after them and care for their boundaries. That is also true when it comes to following their pet's routines and habits that are established, as well as having an understanding of their personalities. Every pet is different, it just takes a little time and patience to understand them. I do work from home two days out of the week, Monday through Friday. However, the remote days are flexible, and the rest of the week I am on the field conducting home visits for patients. Therefore whether you need me to house sit, for a day or two I can adjust my schedule to meet that, as long as I have enough notice. Or if you just need me to stop by for a potty break or a walk, I can add it to my route of visits. On weekends, I am available within reason. I am flexible, and I can do my best to accommodate your needs. It just takes a conversation and some planning. In my home, I do have four babes. One dog and three cats. I do have routines for them when it comes to meal times, and potty breaks. For Nani, my dog. She has her breakfast around the same time every morning, which is usually after I am done getting ready for work. Then soon after she finishes her breakfast, she cues me for a potty walk. We go around the block and she does her business and comes back home to a treat and some play before I go to make my breakfast. For my cats, Chachi, Mizu, and Jojo. They get their breakfast right before I take Nani out for her walk, that way they can eat peacefully and take their time without Nani wagging her tail at them. For the rest of the day, If I am working from home Nani gets a mid day walk around our grassy area at home, but usually in the summer she prefers to stay inside. The cats, I do tend to take mental breaks from my laptop, so one of the things I do is play with them with their string and give them a lil catnip for them to relax. Dinner time is a bit more relaxed, the cats have an auto feeder so their dinner serves at 6pm and for Nani, she gets her dinner, and then she cues me for a walk. Usually my husband and I alternate when following these routines, so in the case I'm out pet sitting, I am grateful that my husband will be able to take care of our babies while I care for yours. That is the way I care for my pets, based on their needs. I am big on routines, because that is how I've raised them to be. However every household has different lifestyles and understanding that is important when choosing to care for someone else's pet's.

“Therese is an awesome sitter! I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Our dog can be picky about the people she likes, but she LOVED Therese. She gave us detailed updates about each visit and sent pictures/videos (which we loved!). We will absolutely be booking with her again.”

About: i commit to treating your animal with the same love, respect, and attention that i give my own pets, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I have an unwavering amount of love for all animals! I currently work full time however my work schedule is VERY flexible as i work from home! I’ll make the time to care for your sweet animal and I can’t wait to meet them! In my home, i prioritize creating a safe, clean, and loving environment for all pets. I have a sweet Havanese dog myself (who’s my bestfriend), so i understand the importance of routine, exercise, and affection. I bring a deep understanding of the needs and behaviors of all dogs.

About: My family has five German Shepards and a Husky. I've grown up around dogs and changed plenty of doggie diapers when needed. I am no stranger to puppies, older animals, and needing to calm down our overly excited friends. I work full time so I can really only offer potty breaks before work, in the middle of the day, or after work. However, I can stay the night with our furry friends who might need a bit more attention. I am also open on the weekends all day for playtime, walks, and potty breaks. I will provide a safe, welcoming, and calming presence to your furry friends. I want them to feel just as loved as if you were home with them and for the animals to know they have a friend to take care of them.

About: I have a lot of experience caring for pups of all personalities. I’ve hosted friends’ and family members’ dogs for years, and I treat every dog like my own. What really sets me apart is the fun, kid-friendly environment I provide—my children absolutely adore dogs, and visiting pups usually enjoy all the extra love, playtime, and attention they get here. I work best with dogs who are potty trained and comfortable around kids, since my home is full of laughter, activity, and gentle little helpers. Whether your dog loves snuggles on the couch, playtime in the yard, or just having company throughout the day, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work, but I’m usually home most of the day on Mondays, which provides plenty of time for extra attention, play, and walks. Tuesday through Friday, I’m out from about 9–3:30, but I’m home before and after that window for morning cuddles, potty breaks, and lots of evening family time with your pup. My schedule allows for a good balance of companionship, consistency, and a predictable routine—perfect for dogs who do well with a cozy home environment and plenty of love before and after the workday. In my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every dog I care for. I don’t currently have any pets in the home—my sweet dog passed away a few months ago—so your pup gets all the attention, love, and space to themselves. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, potty breaks, and plenty of fresh air. Inside, dogs are welcome to relax with me, hang out with the kids, and be part of our daily routine. I keep a close eye on them, follow any schedule or rules you prefer, and make sure they feel right at home. I tailor their care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping your dog’s routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—feeding times, walks, crate routines, medications, and any house rules you have in place. I know how important consistency is, so I make sure your pup gets the same structure and comfort they’re used to. I spend plenty of time giving your dog attention, play, and companionship so they never feel lonely while you’re away. I also keep your home tidy, bring in packages or mail if needed, and send regular updates and photos so you feel completely at ease. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own environment, and for you to return home to a happy pup and a home just the way you left it.

“Always takes great care of the furry ones.”

I’d love to take care of your pup! Please reach out with any questions! I’m home most of the time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pet.

About: I love animals! Growing up I took care of dogs, hamsters, cats, turtles, and bunnies.. Since I nannied not only can I take care of kids, but nearly any animal under the sun! I love to curl up with a good book and give your animal some love! I just graduated so I’m currently working to save money. I am a full time animal and house sitter. I go to the gym in the morning around 3-5 days a week. I am an artist and a book worm, so having an animal to keep me company makes a huge difference! I am completely vegan, so I probably won’t be feeding your pup any table scraps, however I can get down with some animals.. walks, snuggles, deep conversations, and lots of playtime/love! If you want me to do something special for your animal just let me know! We can do story time and tuck them in.. or.. Your animal and I will send you some creative selfies! Truly the world has no limit to what I would do for our fuzzy friends.
