“I had such a wonderful experience with her as my pet sitter! From the beginning she was kind, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure everything went smoothly while I was away. Leaving your pets and home in someone else’s hands can be stressful, but she made it so much easier and gave me complete peace of mind. She was attentive, responsible, and went above and beyond to make sure my pets were comfortable and cared for. It was obvious that she genuinely enjoys what she does, and that level of care really shows. ☺️ I came home to happy pets and everything exactly as it should be. I’m incredibly grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter. I would happily book with her again!!”

About: 𐂂｡⋆ I’ve had a love for animals since I was young! The adults around me have trusted me around their animals due to my deep love for educating myself on their animals needs and respecting said animals boundaries. Animals are more than just pets, they have their own personalities, choices, emotions, that deserve to be cared for just as much as humans do. It’s that empathy towards all creatures, big or small, that has drawn me to their care. I’ve sat my own pets (dogs, lizards, birds) throughout my life as well as family members, neighbors, friends (as well as done a lot of equestrian work), so I’ve had a lot of time around animals! I’d love to be able to care for yours in the same way💜 ☆｡⋆ I’m currently on summer break until the end of September, which frees up my schedule overall and allows me to be pretty open to caring for your animals at any time! ☽｡⋆ I’m very by the book, whatever you say goes! I’m ready to follow your schedule and daily routines in order to ensure that your animals feel more secure in their home while you’re away.

“Meredith took amazing care of our 3 pitties and our home. Daily check-in’s with pictures. Felt very comfortable from the second we met her. Already planning our next family vacation 🤍”

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: 🐾 Reliable Pet Care with a Personal Touch Hi! My name is Tatyana, and I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve had three dogs in my household at the same time for most of my life, giving me extensive hands-on experience with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and care needs. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, playful, energetic, or prefers a slower pace, I understand that every animal is unique and deserves individualized care, patience, and attention. ⸻ 📸 FREE Pet Photography Included! As a photography student and aspiring photographer, I love capturing special moments with animals. During visits or pet-sitting stays, I’d be happy to take complimentary photos of your pet using my Nikon Coolpix P950 so you can receive adorable updates while you’re away. Think of it as a little bonus—cute photos, candid moments, and memories of your pet having fun while you’re gone! 🐶🐱✨ ⸻ 🤝 Meet & Greet Before Every First Booking I love meeting pets and their owners before providing any services. A quick meet-and-greet helps your pet become familiar with me, allows me to learn their routine and personality, and ensures we’re a great fit for one another. I charge a small $5 fee to help cover gas and travel costs for the visit. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and confident before the booking begins. ⸻ 🐕 Experience with Shy & Nervous Dogs One of my recent pet-sitting experiences involved caring for a very shy dog during a full weekend house-sitting stay. Rather than forcing interaction, I respected the dog’s boundaries and allowed trust to develop naturally. Through patience, consistency, and a calm approach, I was able to help the dog feel safe, comfortable, and secure while its owner was away. I understand that some pets need extra time, reassurance, and understanding—and I’m happy to provide that. ⸻ 🏡 Safety, Structure & Peace of Mind When caring for pets, safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, house rules, and any special requests you may have. I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. You’ll also receive updates throughout my stay so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. ⸻ ✨ What Makes Me Different? 🐾 Lifelong experience caring for both dogs and cats 🐾 Comfortable with shy, anxious, high-energy, and senior pets 🐾 Flexible schedule and availability 🐾 Complimentary pet photography 🐾 Patient, attentive, and detail-oriented 🐾 Respectful of your home and routines 🐾 Dedicated to making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable 🐾 Personalized care instead of a one-size-fits-all approach I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. ❤️ 📅 Scheduling & Availability My schedule is highly flexible! I am currently completing a fully online Pharmacy Technician program while working remotely for my family’s business. Since both my coursework and job can be completed from a computer, I have a very open and adaptable schedule. This flexibility allows me to accommodate daytime visits, evening visits, overnight stays, extended pet-sitting bookings, and, when available, last-minute requests. I understand that every pet owner’s schedule is different, so I do my best to be responsive, reliable, and accommodating whenever possible. If you have specific scheduling needs, feel free to reach out—I would be happy to discuss how I can help! 🐾 Flexible Scheduling • 🏡 Overnight Stays • 📸 Free Pet Photos • ❤️ Personalized Care 💕 Safety, Enrichment & Personalized Care Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them rather than simply meeting their basic needs. I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe, understood, and engaged, so I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level. 🐱 Mental Stimulation for Cats With my own cat, I make enrichment a priority. One of his favorite toys mimics bird sounds, and I love watching him stalk, chase, and interact with it. Keeping cats mentally stimulated helps prevent boredom and allows them to stay active, curious, and happy. Whether your cat loves to play or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll adapt to what makes them most comfortable. 🐶 Exercise & Safety for Dogs For dogs, regular exercise, supervision, and safety are always priorities. My family has always been intentional about creating safe environments for our pets. When we lived near a golf course, we even installed an additional fence around our yard for extra security and peace of mind. We never leave our pets outside for extended periods and always make sure they’re supervised, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, enrichment activities, or simply keeping a pet company, I believe every animal deserves patient, attentive care throughout the day. ❤️ Care Tailored to Your Pet I understand that every pet is different. Some pets immediately seek attention, while others need time to build trust. I’m happy to adjust my approach based on your pet’s personality, routine, energy level, and comfort zone. This is especially important for shy or nervous pets, who often benefit from patience, consistency, and gentle interactions. 📸 FREE Pet Photography Included! As an amateur photographer, I’d love to take adorable photos of your pets during my visits—completely free of charge! I’ll happily send photo updates so you can see how your furry family member is doing while you’re away. It’s one of my favorite ways to help owners feel connected to their pets and provide extra peace of mind. 🐾✨ 🛡️ Safety First • 🐾 Personalized Care • 📸 Free Pet Photos • ❤️ Plenty of Love & Attent

“We had a great experience with our sitter! She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our pet was well cared for and getting plenty of attention. Her communication made the entire experience completely stress-free, and we were able to enjoy our trip without worrying. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

Alex J.

“Kailey is a fantastic sitter! We hired her to house-sit and care for our two dogs for 13 days, and she exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, making us feel confident before our trip even started. Throughout our time away, she sent daily updates and photos, giving us complete peace of mind. While we were out of the country, one of our dogs had a medical emergency. Kailey handled the situation exactly as we hoped she would—she immediately took our dog to the emergency vet, ensured they received the care they needed, and closely monitored them once they returned home. She kept us informed every step of the way, communicating with us consistently throughout the entire ordeal. We couldn't be more grateful for the exceptional care Kailey provided. She is responsible, compassionate, and someone we trust completely with our home and our pets. We would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding pet sitter.”

Kelsey K.

“Monica was very responsive and we were very satisfied with the care she provided. The house was nice and clean when we returned and Luna seemed as though we had never left. Would highly recommend.”

About: Hi Pawrents and Purrents! I wear many hats in my life—being a furbaby mom, a sister, a wife, and a teacher, among others. But one of my favorite roles is being a nature and animal caretaker. I've been exploring this path with animals for as long as I can remember, and I truly hope that my journey continues in this loving way. Through my experiences and cherished moments spent with four-legged friends, I've learned that they are as diverse, unique, and special as we are. I know how important it is to understand and respect each pet's individual personality and needs, and to provide consistent, gentle guidance during training. As a fellow pet pawrent, I completely understand your worries, concerns, and the little anxieties that come with leaving your beloved pet in someone else's care while you're away. It would be my pleasure to offer the loving, attentive care that your furry friend deserves, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. During the time your furbaby is with me, I promise to provide: - pictures throughout the day - pictures of fresh water and food/snacks they receive - walking outside / hiking/running (depending on the pet's personality) - basic trick training: sit, paw, spin... etc ( as long as the pet is compliant! ) - nose work activity for their brain stimulation Alongside my experience with dogs and cats, I also have a passion for a variety of other pets that I currently own, including freshwater fish, a tortoise, and both tropical and desert lizards. As an immunology scientist, I want to share that I am familiar with chemicals that could potentially be harmful to your pet - I hope this information can offer you some extra peace of mind! My schedule is flexible, and I'd do my best to modify my days tailored to your pet's needs. On typical week days, I am available to check on your fur babies after 5:30pm - 10pm! I can stay in your home with your pet. Regardless of whether I am staying overnight or not, I will provide adequate exercise and playtime to your pets while I am with them.

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.

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.
