“Allie was very attentive to our dog, Pepper, and gave us frequent updates. The two of them got along very well and Allie was obviously quite in tune with Pepper's needs. Also, the house was left in great shape.”


“My boy George was obsessed with Marianne the minute he met her. I left town for a few days while Marianne was watching him and I got lots of updates and photos about the stay. If you have separation anxiety like I do while leaving my dog, he will be in great hands. I’ll be definitely booking Marianne back to back for future stays. I feel so lucky to find someone so good to my beloved pup, who is also so respectful to the property. Thank you Marianne, we love you :) Eva & George”


“Bryce had great communication, and he was able to sit for us on short notice. He took great care of our fat cat, Kevin, and he left our home in great condition. Kevin expressed that while he was generally extremely displeased at our absence, would tolerate another visit from Bryce, and he would even consider sitting by Bryce at a comfortable distance.”


“Miranda!! Did an amazing job. This was our first time leaving our fur babies behind and she the process better and smooth. My furr babies fell in love, she would send me updates, pictures, communication was great as well. Her services are amazing! I would deft recommend her. I’ll deft be booking her services for our next vacation. She is amazing!!”


“We are so grateful to Ronald for his incredible care of our three dogs. Each of our pups has their own personality, and Ronald took time with each of them to make sure they felt loved and comfortable. He kept us updated with photos and messages, which made us more relaxed. Finding someone you can trust with your furry family is difficult, but Ronald was great. The dogs got their walks, playtime, and medications. We came home to happy pups; he was terrific and so responsible with our home. We highly recommend Jay to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and excellent pet sitter. We look forward to using him again.”

“Therese was amazing with our two dogs! She communicated with us regularly to let us know the dogs were doing well. We felt secure leaving them with her for the weekend, and will definitely keep her in mind for future dog sitting.”


“Where to begin…? Amber has been watching my “kids” for over three years now, during my frequent out of town/state/country trips. I felt completely comfortable with her from her very first stay. My pets are my “kids” and to be able to leave my home and them in her care without worry has been such a Blessing. I’m able to enjoy my leisure time away or focus on work while gone knowing that they are cared for, protected, and loved. Sadly, on a recent trip overseas, one of my beloved dogs had to be put to sleep. Amber took her, and her ever present sister, to the vet and FaceTimed me so I could “be there” with them. She held and comforted her as she passed, and then comforted the other animals as they grieved. As much as I wished I could have been there with her in the end, I know she felt loved and at peace with Amber when she went. You can feel 100 percent confident that your pet(s) and home are in responsible, capable, and caring hands with Amber! She’s the Best!!”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch Milo. He sent multiple updates throughout the day with photos and videos. He followed all of our instructions and we never doubted that Milo was having a good time!!”


“Angel was wonderful with our two little dogs. One of them is typically guarded and defensive meeting someone new, but Angel had this pup on her lap in no time. Angel made sure to follow my lengthy instructions, taking care of the details to ensure our home was as well cared for as our pups. She communicated with me during her stay, shared pictures and videos, and proved to be reliable, responsible, and respectful. I would definitely be comfortable hiring her to stay in my home again.”


“Jonathan is the best sitter we’ve had in so many ways! I was incredibly anxious leaving our dogs, especially with an older dog with medical needs. He sent videos and updates daily, sometimes multiple times a day, and his love and care for our babies was evident in each one - he wasn’t just checking a box! He stayed in our home with the three pups and left everything tidy and clean for when we arrived home, and even checked in the following day to make sure everything was ok! I’d recommend Jonathan any day!”


About: I love all furry creatures great and small. I'm one of those people that you'll find hanging out more with your pet than actual people at a party. I just can't keep my hands off of them....and they usually know it the minute I walk in the door! I'm also fully insured! I'm semi-retired so basically I am wide open schedule-wise and to be honest this the best way to get my furry animal fix every day. I'm very conscientious about the well being of your pet. I treat all pets as if they are my own without exception. I am very respectful of each pet owners needs and wants for their pet. I want your pet to feel like nothing has changed since you left. Consistency is #1!

“Makenzie is fantastic! Kind, responsible, attentive to my dog & me, goes the extra step to make sure our dog was cared for while we’re gone! Sent pictures each day which I loved. Highly recommend her!”


“I was very worried leaving my new puppy for the first time. All my worries were relieved by Maddee! I came home to happy, playful dogs. Maddee kept me updated and sent pictures of the pups. Took all my worries away! Would highly recommend!”


“Darion was amazing with my pupper. Updated me while I was away with pictures and details of their day! Darion put all my worries at ease while I was away. Couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter.”


“Autumn is the best! She spent the night with my River and I could tell that River really enjoyed their time together and was well taken care of. Autumn was flexible with the schedule, detail oriented, and reliable. She sent updates with pictures and communicated very well. I really appreciate how much she cares about the details of your pets normal routine/needs.”


About: Animals have always had a place in my heart (and often in my lap). I'm a calm, reliable dog sitter with a soft spot for shy dogs and energetic pups alike. I'm currently available for walks and drop-ins. I've helped care for dogs with anxiety, older pets with meds and more vocal pups. I treat every animal like my own, with patience, kindness and belly rubs (when allowed). Whether pet needs a short visit for food and cuddles, a mid-day walk to burn off energy or a trusted human while you're at work, I'm available! Let me know what your pet needs and I will do my best to accommodate. I'm working full time but I'm WFH so I so have some flexibility with that. I'm off work in the early afternoon so I would be able to do drop-in's or walks. I'm also available on weekends. I currently have two cats. But they rule the house. They make sure that their Treat CornerTM is always stocked with Temptations and their litter box is clean. They get plenty of chin scratches and plenty of time to yell at the resident humans. If I'm watching your dog, I will treat them as my own and give them all the love and affection they deserve. I am familiar with the neighborhoods around Scottsdale and the best places to go for walks.

About: I've taken care of large and small dogs for many years and enjoy what each breed has to offer. I'm perfect for being your "weekend away" caretaker. I currently work during the week with a flexible schedule and a work from home day and can be available for increased hours on the weekend. I have a fenced yard with 2 friendly dogs that are confined in a small room in our home when we are out of the home.

We were very impressed with the way she handled that difficult situation and our dogs loved her.”
