Top rated Knoell Gardens pet sitters
“Elise was very reliable and took amazing care of our cat! She was prompt and active in sending updates, communication, and taking pictures of our cat while we were away. We would highly recommend elise for your pet sitting needs!”
“I hired Rosa to drop in on my Luna while we were out of town. I was confident in her care because she did not hesitate to ask questions when something came up. I’d much rather have someone confirm with me than guessing and doing something wrong! She was also able to send photos of Luna actually looking at the camera - I have had Luna for 10 years and she rarely looks at the camera as she is very camera shy, so Luna must have really liked her. I would definitely recommend Rosa to anyone looking for pet care!”
“I can’t even begin to explain how amazing Willow is! She’s so great with my puppy AND me. She gives great training advice, helped me with tips and tricks when my puppy was having separation anxiety, teaches him new tricks, and is sooo patient with him. He adores Willow and looks forward to her visits. 😊 Thank you, Willow!!”
“Kiley has been an awesome caretaker for us. She brings genuine care and kindness to her check-ins, and it feels like she's an extension of our family. When I had a snafu with flights and needed to reconfigure our schedule she fortunately had the availability to accommodate us - and did so with grace and understanding. We're big fans of Kiley!”
“Jordan is amazing with our shy, anxious dog and our rambunctious cat. We appreciate being able to travel with peace of mind knowing Jordan is caring for our pets and helping put them at ease. We're so grateful for all of Jordan's help!!”
“Tori was absolutely amazing with my dog, Benny! She was so sweet, gentle, and attentive. Benny can be a little picky about who he warms up to, but he adored her right away. Tori was incredibly reliable and kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was on my trip. I could tell she treated Benny like he was her own, and I’m so grateful for the care and love she gave him. I will definitely be using her again!!”
“Kayla was quick to respond & has been very easy to communicate with. She has been very dependable and goes out of her way to care for your pets as well as your house! This has been a necessity for me, as one of my dogs is a very young puppy. I appreciate the extra mile Kayla has gone with my puppy, and I highly recommend her when it comes to caring for your pets!”
“Alicia has truly been a God send for our pet sitting needs. My partner and I have never used this service before. We typically would board our pets either with their training or the vet. Seeing the anxiety from our dog and the small cat kennels for our active Sphynx babies, we decided to try something new. We selected Alicia due to the fantastic reviews and proximity to our home. Once we interview each other to ensure we were a great fit for Alicia and she was a great fit for our babies, we moved forward. We will never look back! Alicia has been great!!! Our dog recognizes Alicia like she is part of the family which we love. We also love that Alicia sets boundaries for our babies which coincides with how we have trained our babies. Thanks for everything Alicia!!!!”
About: I took first aid for cats and dogs at the American Red Cross.I have had dogs for numerous years and taken care of some who weren't mine. Bobby was a sweetheart who I picked up on a highway. He was estimated to be 14 years old. I called AC and found his owner. He relinquished Bobby to me and, poor guy, developed cancer a few years later. Very hard. If the heat isn't too bad, we normally go for walks and spend time outside. There is a large grassy area and dog park across the street. I have large dog crates if anyone needs alone time. Also if dogs and cats need to be separate, they can go in other rooms.

About: Hi there! I’m Stephanie — a 47-year-old single mom living with my 20-year-old daughter, and we’re both huge animal lovers! We’re home 99.9% of the time on weekdays and weekends, so your pet will have lots of company and care. We share our home with three sweet fur babies: a mellow 11-year-old corgi mix rescue, a playful 4–5-year-old terrier/chihuahua mix named Jelly, and a 5-month-old kitten who mostly keeps to herself. All of them are friendly and well-acquainted with Rover guests — they’ve gotten along great with every pup so far! I work full-time from home Monday through Friday, which makes pet care easy and consistent. We live in a townhouse behind the AZ Grand Resort with a fenced-in patio where your dog can enjoy fresh air, sunshine, and playtime. Your pup will be treated like family with full access to our home and plenty of attention throughout the day, including morning, midday, and evening walks and potty breaks. We love dogs of all breeds and ages — they truly bring so much joy to our day. I’ve been around dogs since I was 8 years old and can’t imagine life without them.

If your pet is staying with us for an extended period, you’re more than welcome to stop by and say hi — we’re always happy to see you! I have a secure, fenced-in patio that offers both sun and shade, giving your pup a safe space to relax outdoors. Since I’m home during the day, we take multiple potty breaks to keep your pet comfortable. If you’re okay with it, I’m also happy to take your dog on walks around the neighborhood for some extra exercise and fresh air.
“I am so happy that I booked Jen to watch our kitty, Boo. On the initial visit, Boo took refuge under the bed (as she does when there is a new person in the house) and Jen assured me that she would win Boo over. I could see that she had, because Jen sent me daily pictures of Boo snuggling with her. I appreciated Jen asking me on July 4th if Boo was afraid of fireworks; she was prepared to stay longer if that was the case. - it was over and above my expectations. Thank you Jen!”

Cindy Y.
“Cindy is an animal’s best friend. She is knowledgeable, reliable and great with all kinds of pets - she has a calm, quiet demeanor and animals instinctively feel comfortable with her. Cindy has rescued many dogs and cats (and birds too) that had been abandoned and single-handedly took care of several feral cat colonies for many years - a huge responsibility. I can’t think of a better person to look after my dogs.”

Knoell Gardens pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kayla has been so patient with Kai and giving her time to warm up to having a new person in the house. Kai is a little shy girl and Kayla has been very good about her interactions. Kayla has great knowledge in animal care and various behavioral issues. I am thankful to have found her. I look forward to working more with Kayla in the future.

Thanks for everything Alicia!!!!
Zoeyanna was PHENOMENAL. Truly went above and beyond for my gals. She was so communicative even when I had a hard time getting back to her, she was patient in getting my cats’ trust, and she clearly prioritizes being helpful. I’ll definitely use her services again!
Jordan was fantastic! I was apprehensive because I have never used a sitter outside of friends and family before. She was phenomenal! I was completely at ease with her taking care of our cat. She sent updates throughout the day. Even more phenomenal, there was an issue with a key to our home where the key broke inside the lock. Jordan went to the hardware store and got the key replaced without our asking her to. She was fantastic and we will definitely utilize her services in the future! I can’t speak highly enough of her.
Briana is always attentive and considerate to my cats. She keeps me updated with pictures and gives each cat the kind of attention they need while we are gone. One is a recluse, one is a wild child and one is a grumpy old man, and she's tuned into each of them.
