“Not only did Breanna walk and feed my dog at last minute’s notice while I was out of town, but she also bonded with him quickly, which really eased my peace of mind. It was consistently proven through timely walks and plenty of photos of my dog in good spirits🙏 thank you!”
“Max the collie had a great time being cared for by Tom and taking a walk with him while I was away for a photography workshop in Norway.. He is a great dog sitter and I could enjoy my trip without worries.”
About: I have been dog sitting since 2015. Mostly when someone goes out of town. I started out with friends and then they referred me to their friends and so on.I have also watched cats or been around to feed them while owners are out of town. I love playing with dogs and cuddling with them as well watching movies. I have also done parrot drop in visits. I have flexibility with other jobs I am working so I'm able to come & go with pets. I do lots of walking so it's easy to fit a pet into my walking routine and I can work on my own stuff on my computer when I'm with them. If they are in my home I make sure all gates outside are secured, they never go out of the house unleashed in my home or theirs (unless their home has a fenced in yard) they are never outside unless I am outside with them. I will not take them outside when it's too hot so if they are a dog that goes for walks I get them out early in the morning or once the sun goes down.
“Sibel was wonderful! She walked our dog several times over consecutive days. She was always on time and sent many pictures. She is very positive and clearly loves animals! We will definitely use her again!”
“Vivian walked my dog, Sunny on Tuesday. Vivian did an excellent job. She arrived on time, was cheerful, and connected well with Sunny. It was a positive experience and I highly recommend her. We will definitely call on her again when the need arises.”
About: I've owned and cared for dogs my whole life, currently a 70-lb standard poodle who keeps me active daily. I'm comfortable handling large and high-energy breeds, managing leashes and walks safely, and keeping a consistent feeding, exercise, and potty routine. I'm currently studying for my EMT certification, so I stay calm and level-headed if anything unexpected comes up — your pet's safety is always my first priority. I'm reliable and detail-oriented, and I always keep owners updated with photos and notes. I also handle basic cat care — feeding, fresh water, litter, and play during drop-in visits. I have a flexible, open schedule right now, so I can fit walks, drop-ins, and visits throughout the day and week. I prefer early mornings and evenings for walks to keep pets safe and comfortable in the Arizona heat, and I'm happy to work around your pet's routine, whether that's a quick midday potty break or daily exercise. In your home, I follow your instructions closely and always double-check that doors and gates are secured before and after every visit. On walks I keep dogs leashed and under control, watch the pavement temperature, and carry water on hot days. I keep cats fed, watered, and their litter clean, and I send photos and a quick update every visit so you always know your pet is safe and content.
About: I am a dependable and caring pet sitter with experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages and personalities. I have completed pet sitting for a pit bull over a 4-day stay and cared for three cats, including a young kitten, for 4 days. In addition, I have experience helping care for family pets, including golden retrievers and cats. I understand the importance of providing pets with attention, exercise, playtime, feeding, fresh water, and a safe, comfortable environment. I am patient, responsible, and committed to following each pet owner's instructions so their pets feel secure and well cared for while they are away. I’m currently working part time 3 days a week in Tempe, and have plenty of free time to care for your animals, I normally am good with booking and try to care for pets every week! In my home and/or my clients home I always make sure all animals are safe and taken care of, making sure they have been fed and taken on walks throughout the day.
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.

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!

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and owner, and my wife and I currently share our home with one wonderful pup. Over the years, we’ve also had the rewarding experience of fostering dogs, including a lively litter of puppies. I’ve always found joy in spending time with dogs—whether it’s throwing a ball for them to chase or just hanging out and enjoying their company (no small talk required!). Now that I'm retired my schedule is very flexible. I’m thrilled to spend more time doing something I truly love: caring for dogs and helping others. Whether your pup needs a walk, some companionship, or a safe and loving environment while you’re away, I’m here to help! I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged friends! I’m excited to offer dog walking and sitting services for dogs of all sizes and breeds. With years of experience caring for dogs, I understand the importance of trust and dependability when it comes to your furry family members. My goal is to give your dog the attention, care, and playtime they deserve while making your life a little easier.
“Seikai has been the best! He has been so reliable and has done a great job walking our Nellie when we have to work late. He is very kind, professional, easy to work with, and our dog really seems to enjoy her time with him!”
About: I have owned, fostered and rescued many different pups over the last 20 years. Everything from spicy chihuahuas to stoic Bermes Mountain Dogs! There isn't a breed that I have not been able to care for. I have cared for and trained 5 puppies in my experience. I am not just a "dog person" I am an ANIMAL LOVER! My love for animals goes beyond just pups. I have cared for turtles, lizards, horses and birds. I even cared for a pot-belly pig once! What ever the species of your animal family member is, I can get the job done and become their friend! I currently own my own business and work from home. I can make visits during the work day or as late as 7pm Tuesday-Friday. I am available to sit for your pets Tuesday-Sunday typically, but I can be available any time upon request. I take care of pets just as I would for your child. After all, they are your child in many ways! I can provide walks and time to play with them. I can feed, water and take them to go potty. No need is too big.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Fort McDowell. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Fort McDowell.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort McDowell. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
