“Our dog Sandee loves her visits with Carina, Santiago and family. She runs bouncing to their door full of excitement to see them all again! Much thanks for your loving care!! Cyndi and family”

“I’m starting to feel as though Ron loves our dog as much as we do. What a sense of relief and joy for all of us. Cannot say enough to convey our gratitude to Ron.”

“Shawna & Ethan are the real deal - fantastic sitters. Took such amazing care of my Strummer… when I picked him up - he was already part of their pack 🐾 A million thank you’s!”

“We have two small terrier mixes and they’re always calm and happy when we pick them up after a stay with Sheila and David. Sheila sends cute messages and picture/video updates during each stay and we’re always comforted knowing our pups are being well taken care of. We moved across town a couple years ago and still choose to book with her whenever we can. She has a great indoor and outdoor set up for our smaller pups and plenty of space for them to run and play. We highly recommend her ☺️”

“Korrina was an excellent dog sitter for us, she would send us pictures and videos constantly and answered any questions we had throughout our one week outing. I would highly recommend her to take care of your pet.”

“Kathy was great with my elderly chihuahua. I felt very comfortable leaving her for the night. Her home is very clean and dog friendly. My favorite part were the pictures and videos I received while I was away. Very reassuring.”

“We will definitely be using Loren again! She took great care of our doggy and gave us daily updates and pictures. He came home happy after a few days at her house and we can tell he was well taken care of.”

“Katarina is a warm and caring dog owner and host. She has a wonderful house and yard and two friendly dogs. My dog loved exploring her interesting yard. I will definitely use her again and recommend her to others. I know my dog was happy and well cared for there.”

“Julie was so patient with my 10 month old puppy, she kept me updated through text messages and pictures every day! That gave me the confidence to enjoy my trip without having to worry if my pup was being treated well. I will continue to book with Julie for as long as she is available!”

“I was so nervous about leaving Bruno but my worries were quickly put to rest after getting out of the car. Bruno walked into the yard with no hesitation. He even led the way into the house, just like he had been there before. Vicky was amazing. I truly appreciated the frequent photos and videos. Bruno never skipped any meals. We both discussed that the first night he may not eat dinner but he did. I loved that in each picture you could see that he had made himself at home. For me, then greatest tell of the care he received was when I picked him up. Naturally he was very excited for me to be there, but he would also go get a drink of water, and went back for rubs with Vicky as well. There aren't many people that will get deliberate attention from Bruno when I'm around. I know that Bruno was well cared for and I felt safe knowing Bruno was doing well.”

“Michelle was a dream for my Desi girl! She is so incredibly kind, caring and attentive to my pup 😊. I appreciated her consistent communication while I was out of town, her experience with dogs is invaluable, I HIGHLY recommend her to all pet owners!”

“Jessica was a terrific sitter for our two dogs! They came home happy, and we really appreciated all the photos and updates showing how well they were doing while we were away. We couldn’t have been happier with the experience! Highly recommend Jessica, and she’ll definitely be our first choice for future vacations!”


“Jan is such a wonderful sitter, we are so glad we have found her! We receive photos and an update that makes us feel at ease. Pumpkin loves going there so much she starts whining to get in the door as soon as we get close!”

“Jessica took care of my dog so week. He got walks everyday, lots of fetch, pets and swimming! I couldn’t be more happy with the care she gave my dog and last minute when I came into town for the Gem and Jam Show after another sitter fell through. I’ll use her whenever I come to Tucson. So happy. Thank you!”

“Alondra was available on short notice to watch my boy which was much appreciated and highly convenient. She took great care of Troy. She’s very responsive and provides updates and pictures. Highly recommend for your pet needs. Will definitely book with her again! ☺️”
“My dog seemed very happy when I came to pick him up. I did not hear of any issues during his stay, and I think as a repeat client, my dog has really acclimated to Karen's care. Would recommend!”


“Robyn took Harley for a week while we were on vacation and he snuggled so much with her I didn’t think he wanted to come home! Thank you again Robyn for loving him the way that we do and giving him his own vacation while we were on ours. The daily pics of what you guys were doing gave me life each day! Super grateful for you.”

About: With 17 years of experience caring for dogs and 6 years for cats, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to pet sitting. I’ve had the privilege of caring for senior dogs, ensuring they receive the gentle attention and comfort they need in their golden years. Your pets will receive all the love, cuddles, and attention they deserve, making their time away from you as stress-free and enjoyable as possible! As someone who works in-office Monday through Friday, I’ve built a structured routine that ensures pet care is a natural and well-planned part of my day. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles, while weekends allow for longer outings, enrichment, and quality one-on-one time. My schedule has helped me develop strong time management skills, so every pet in my care gets the attention, consistency, and love they deserve—even on busy weekdays. Having two friendly tabby cats (male) of my own creates a welcoming atmosphere for your pets. My apartment complex’s fenced dog parks provide a safe space for them to play and explore, while having multiple pet beds and separate food and water bowls ensure that every pet has their own comfortable spot. I maintain a clean and organized environment, equipped with all the necessary pet care items to prioritize safety and hygiene. With this thoughtful setup, your pets will feel secure and happy while in my care.

It has been such a comfort to have Shawna watch our girl for years now! We know she will be well cared for and she will have some fun with her dog friends, Penny and Brutus. When we pull into the driveway, Pumpkin gets so excited and happy that she cries and wags like crazy! We feel lucky to have her.

We recently moved to Tucson and needed someone to watch our dog for a long weekend. We're really happy we found Robyn. She took good care of my dog. She sent periodic texts and pictures so I knew my dog was doing well. We'll definitely be using Robyn again. My dog came home happy

Jodi is an excellent pet sitter who gave my little Oso (pomeranian) lots of love and care. She was very attentive and integrated him into her family immediately. She gave me daily updates and sent pictures! I really appreciate the peace of mind she offered while my baby was away from him family 🥰 Thank you Jodi!

I couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters than Bill and Angus. I knew from meeting them for the first time that they would be the perfect match for my dogs. Their home was comfortable and they had a large yard for my dogs to explore. I received updates and photos. My dogs were also treated to several daily walks which they love. Thanks again, Miika & Bandit will look forward to their next visit!

If you are looking for the absolute best, Miriam and her husband are it! Miriam holds a Star Sitter designation and after our experience, it's easy to see why. She didn't just do the job; she completely poured her heart into caring for our Teagan. We had total peace of mind knowing our pup was in the absolute best hands. A truly exceptional 5-star experience, and we will definitely ask her to care for Teagan again the in future!

Teri is very reliable, caring, and she loves dogs. She took care of my dog (Leia) like her own. Teri is very flexible, we were very lucky that she accommodated Leia. She gives us updates, sends photos everyday of Leia’s activity, and she is very quick to respond to our messages. Leia was very comfortable with Teri, she gets a lot of exercise , while with Teri. She gets along very well with Teri’s dogs. It gave me peace of mind leaving Leia with Teri knowing how comfortable Leia was when she got inside Teri’s house, and immediately start to play with Teri’s fur babies. 🥰 Thank you so much Teri.

Misty took amazing care of our sweet corgi, Jasper, for three nights! He absolutely loved staying with her and had the best time playing with her Mini Aussie, Rip. She has a great property with plenty of space for the dogs to play and a fully fenced yard, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Misty took Jasper on walks, kept him busy, and gave him plenty of attention. We could definitely tell he had a great time because he slept so much once we got him home! 😂 She followed all of our care instructions, including his feeding, treats, and crating routine. It’s such a relief to have someone you can trust to take good care of your fur baby while you’re away. Jasper came home happy and exhausted, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to Misty first the next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend!
