Dog Sitting Fort McDowell

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 am currently a college student taking classes online in hopes to get into a sonography program. I also currently work a part time job, but besides that, your pet will be my priority. I try to stay with them as much as I can so they aren’t alone. 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.

“Whitney started doing drop by visits and has been great to work with. She is patient and caring and my girl is really warming up to her quickly. I would recommend her to a friend or family!”

About: With nearly 9 years of hands-on pet care experience, I provide loving, attentive, and routine-based care for both dogs and cats! I have cared for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs-including administering medications, post-surgery support, and special diets. I take time to build trust with each pet at their pace, especially those who are shy, anxious, or new to a caregiver/walker. I am calm in emergencies and proactive with communication-whether that meant safely rushing a dog to the vet in an emergency or nursing my rescue cat back to health after temporary blindness. Pet parents trust me for my reliability, detailed updates, and genuine love for animals. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always comes first! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m currently taking a break from teaching elementary school this year to focus on other passions, which allows me to be fully present and flexible for the pets I care for. I have the time and availability to maintain consistent routines, accommodate midday, walks, extended visits, and last-minute needs, and give each pet the attention they deserve. Caring for animals has always been a meaningful part of my life, and this season allows me to prioritize it fully. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any household preferences. I take time to build trust with each pet, move at their comfort level and provide calm, loving attention – especially for pets that may feel anxious when their owners are away. I keep homes clean and secure, provide regular updates with photos and notes, and always prioritize safety. My goal is for pets to feel comfortable, cared for, and relaxed in their own environment, and for owners to feel complete peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a number of years now. I know how important people’s pets are to them, so I take it very seriously. I love all dogs and how each one of them is unique and loving in their own way. I give lots of attention and care to the dogs in my care, and make sure all feel comfortable. 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. I live a more active lifestyle, so if they need daily walking and exercise, I am happy to take them. I like in a spacious 2 bedroom apartment and I have a small goldendoodle who is very friendly and loves all people/dogs. I usually walk around the neighborhood by where I live multiple times daily to make sure dogs get exercise if needed. I can crate your dog if you’d like or leave them out.

About: Arianna and I are a young, professional couple and have a huge love for animals, especially dogs! We have 4 of dogs of our own and share custody of them with a family friend. Our dogs would NOT be with us during the sit. We are transitioning to a new home and thought this would be a great way to save money for moving but also to help someone in need as well. As fur Moms, we love all animals and would treat yours with the same attention and care as we do with our own. That same respect would, of course, extend to respecting your home as we would our own home. Arianna also was once a veterinary technician and has great insight on how to take care of animals beyond what the average person may or may not be aware of. She’s also had cats of her own is familiar with how to tend to them as well. So, both of those facts are great added bonuses. Working remotely helps out a lot in this area. With my being home all day for work and Arianna currently looking for office work in the Behavioral Health field, that still allows her to assist me whenever necessary. Together, we’ve made it work! We make sure to have meet and greets with all clients (virtual and/or in person) to ensure all safety measures, dietary and medical questions are asked by both us and the pet parents before accepting a sit.

“Julissa is the epitome of what I was looking for in someone to care for my dog while Im not home. She is kind, super professional, responsive and on time. She took perfect control of my dog right from the start, asking all the right questions, and took her on a walk during our meet and greet. I cannot recommend her enough, if I could, Id give 10 stars!!”

“DJ and his wife are awesome pet sitters. If you can get them do. They went way beyond what they needed to do. Sadee aged 12 loved them, Sheba a 18 cat surprised all of us by coming out to see them. She always hides. Both older pets need a lot of attention and they were taken care of above and beyond. Thanks for all you have done. Jerry and Chris”

About: I love pets and strongly believe they should be taken care of the right way, with love, care, and space to play. They have the energy to run and play and deserve to be able to do so! I work part time during the mornings. I can take care of them during the day and evening, including overnight visits or stays. I am flexible as well and happy to work around schedules. I will clean up after animals as well as your home. It’s my priority to leave your house exactly how you left it, and make sure your animals are treated the same way I’d take care of my own, with love and care.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life growing up! I’ve been a vet tech on and off for the past 10 years. I’m currently going to school again and wanting to get back into animal sitting/walking when I can. I also volunteer at foothills animal rescue and Halo when I have some free time as well. I love animals and they bring me so much joy! Ive been on the app for 6 years now and have done hundreds of services. I’m known to be very gentle, patient, and loving with the pets I sit. I’m a very active person so I love going on walks and being out in nature. I get the best of both worlds doing this! I’m currently in school Monday-Thursday. I get a break mid day. I’m fully available Friday-Sunday. Just let me know what you need and expect and I’d love to try my best to make things work for you and your fur baby :) I’m currently living with my grandparents so I’ll only be walking and house sitting. I’ve done hundreds of walks and a lot of house sittings. I’ve had the app for 6 years now so I’m very trustworthy and respectful of your space and time.

About: I have experience firsthand with dogs that I’ve had and family along with volunteering at a non-kill shelter and helping them out. I learn new things every day, but I also take what I learned and use it. I always make it work with what I’m doing. I plan things out and do whatever it takes. But overall, they will be taking care of accordingly. I easily follow instructions that is needed when I do come to your house. Whether it be giving them meds, taking them out for a walk or just a quick potty break. I always play with the dogs to make sure that they know they have that my attention. If your dog needs, that’s Something I can do also.

About: I pride myself in having a safe, home-like environment, where dogs are never just “boarded” but cared for like family. With a fenced yard, free-range access indoors, and individualized attention, your dog feels comfortable and safe. I’m home during the day, which means pets get lots of love, attention, and company. From morning walks to afternoon playtime, I make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for all day long. I take pride in providing a safe and trusting environment where every pet is treated with the same love and care as if they were my own. From secure spaces and constant supervision to personalized attention tailored to each dog’s needs, I make sure your pet feels comfortable, relaxed, and in my home. My goal is to build trust not only with your dog, but with you as an owner, so you can have complete peace of mind while they’re in my care.

“I was pleased with Karsyn taking care of my Maggie while I was gone for a few days over Thanksgiving, She arrived on time and stayed the hour that she was assigned. She made sure to send me pictures and updates on the days she was here. I used her as a drop in caregiver for just a few days to cover during the days my regular sitter wasn't available. The only problem I had was when I contacted her I didn't realize her profile information hadn't been updated. I wanted someone to do overnight coverage which she wasn't available to do since the birth of her little boy. It all worked out as I had another gal covering the rest of the time. She and Maggie seemed to get along just fine and she was reliable. I would use her again without hesitation.”

About: I’ve grown up with Huskies my entire life, so I’m very comfortable with energetic dogs, big personalities, and lots of fur! 😂 Before moving from the Chicago area to Scottsdale, I regularly house sat and dog sat for my boss, co-stylists, clients, friends, and family. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, overnight stays, and giving your pets plenty of attention and love while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person staying in your home and caring for your pets, so I’m respectful, responsible, communicative, and always happy to send pictures and updates. I genuinely love animals and would treat your pets like they were my own. I’m a hairstylist with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the day! I’m available for overnight stays, walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of cuddles. Since I make my own schedule, I can plan around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I know how much trust it takes to have someone care for your pet and stay in your home. I’m respectful of your space and will follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking needs, and any instructions you leave for me. Having grown up with Huskies, I’m also very comfortable with energetic and strong dogs. I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and getting plenty of attention.

“Julia went above and beyond for Blizzard while we were away. We were very hesitant to leave our pup since this was the first time we would be leaving him with anyone other than family. Julia immediately eased our concerns and asked all the right questions to make us feel secure. Blizzard is a very shy dog with separation anxiety and usually has a tough time warming up to new people. We could tell right away that Julia and Blizzard were going to get along famously. Book Julia, you won't regret it!! :)”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child and it’s something I’ve loved ever since. I currently don’t own my own pet so I’m looking forward to help take care of others! I work east coast hours and am off at noon MST time so I’m free a lot of the day. I also work from home and can check on pets or do house stays! I’m more than happy to sit your pet in your hole where the your pet is comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. My main goal is that your pet is as comfortable and happy as possible when you’re away!

About: My mom was a veterinarian, so I grew up with pets. Not only do I have a deep love for animals, like my mom, but I also have true experience caring for them. I’m free Friday-Sunday and occasionally have free days during the week. I currently work part-time and attend ASU part-time, so I’m not available for anything last minute. I always care for pets in their home the way they would be cared for by their owner to avoid causing them any stress or anxiety.
