“Can’t say enough about Tom and how amazing he is! I was able to enjoy my trip home for the holidays knowing that my dog was in amazing care. Tom is a great communicator and is very thorough with caring for pets! Thank you, Tom for taking such great care of Moon for me while I was away. We will be going back to Tom in the future!”

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: 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: We are an active and fun-loving family who loves dogs! We'll be sure to give your dog lots of love, attention, exercise, and play time. My kids love dogs and are so excited to have more "friends" for our 9 year old Jack Russell Terrier mix. I know how important pictures and updates are for you too. We would love to help with your dog while you are away! We are available for daily walks and activity. We are frequently out and about walking or jogging and getting our own dog outside on walks. She loves to have other friends to walk with as well. My kids love dogs and enjoy meeting other dogs and getting the opportunity to walk them.
“Andrew and Sophia have been fantastic pet sitter for our dog, Pinion. This was his first time being cared for by someone outside the family, and he’s been adjusting well thanks to their kind and patient approach. They are very communicative and provide prompt, thoughtful updates after each visit—including daily photos, which give us peace of mind and a glimpse into how he’s doing. Their observations have even helped us fine-tune Pinion’s routine to stay consistent with his usual schedule. We’re so grateful for the care and attention they’ve shown. Highly recommend!”

“Very friendly and reliable! I was able to relax and enjoy myself knowing Gwyn was stopping by to take care of my Coco. I recommend highly and will definitely be using Gwyn again.”

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: Animals have been part of my life since I was five, and caring for them is second nature to me. What sets me apart is the range of hands-on experience I bring: from energetic young puppies who need consistency and patience, to senior pets who require gentle care and attention. Whether your pet needs playtime, a peaceful walk, or specialized support, I’m here to provide thoughtful, loving care just like they’re my own. Working remotely allows me to be fully present and flexible with pet care throughout the day. Whether it’s stopping by for a midday walk, feeding time, litter box cleanups, or just giving your pet some extra attention and companionship, I’m able to work around their schedule—not the other way around. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet won’t be left waiting long for care or cuddles. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I take the time to understand your pet’s schedule, habits, and preferences, whether that means specific feeding times, walk routines, medication, or favorite toys and hiding spots. I treat every home with respect and maintain a clean, calm environment so your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk, or an extended stay, I’m there to give your pet the love and attention they’re used to, just like you would.
“I can’t recommend Maddie highly enough! She stepped in at the last minute over the Christmas holiday when I had a family emergency, and she was absolutely fantastic. Maddie took amazing care of my two cats, Isabella and Coco. Coco is notoriously shy and has always hidden from previous sitters, but Maddie worked her magic and managed to coax her out—something no one else has been able to do! She made sure both cats ate well, stayed happy, and received plenty of attention. Maddie also kept me updated with daily videos and photos, which gave me such peace of mind during a stressful time. Maddie is a true professional and clearly loves animals. I feel so lucky to have found her and will definitely be booking her again!”

“Rene and I were talking to each other in the car on the way home from Las Vegas this past weekend, "how lucky we were to have you". Totally trust this guy like no one else he's the best! Karrie Frattari”

“Tannah is the sweetest! She watched our cat for us while we were out for a week. We enjoyed getting the daily updates and photos, and our kitty seems to have really taken to Tannah :) Totally recommend her!”
