About: Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs. Some times I take them to the dog beach and for hiking. I am available for drop in visits and dog walks the whole week with possibility of adapting to the schedule that works better for you. I can take care of your dog at your place for a few hours. If you want some furry company for your dog, my dog is very friendly and he will keep your dog company all the time.

“Our dog Latte absolutely luvs it when Ava's able to come by and spend time with him. Ava's prompt, communicative, great with dogs, and most importantly, cares for our own dog when we're not at home. She's awesome!!! Thanks again Ava!!!”

About: I have taken care of many different dogs, including breeds such as: Labradors, Pitbulls, Bohemian Shepherds, Cavaliers, and Pomeranians. I have both host dogs at my place, done walk-ins to walk, feed, and play with the dogs, and even stayed in other apartments taking care of all their needs. I make a great effort to follow the instructions every owner leaves regarding their dogs, like special feeding requirements, and walking alone with reactive dogs. I have also hosted cats at my place and have a beautiful cat of my own (at my folks place, not where I currently live) I am a graduate student, which gives me flexibility to work at different times and from different places, as long as there is an Internet connection. I take care of pets occasionally and can adapt my schedule around the sitting When I host dogs at my place, I expect their parents to bring all their stuff (food, treats, toys, poop bags, water bowls, crate/bed if applicable). My apartment has a small terrace if your dog likes to lay outside for a while. At the clients home, I can accommodate to most reasonable requests, and expect clear communication from the client's end (I also will communicate if I have any questions or if I am facing any issues)

“Zining provided amazing care for Asha when I had to take a last minute trip! She was very responsive and provided detailed updates. I highly recommend her services.”

“Our pup loves Brendan! He always takes the extra time to make our dog feel especially loved and is very detailed with his time with our doggo!”

About: My love for dogs started very early. My family has always been involved in dog rescues. We have fostered multiple rescue dogs, adopted two of them, and raised two purebred dogs as well. I have never known a home without dogs! Growing up, I volunteered at Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary, where I helped care for abandoned senior dogs in need of comfort. From there, I worked at Seven Dogs Grooming. I was responsible for keeping the dogs safe, comfortable and happy before and after grooming. Throughout college, I continued my involvement in animal care through Pima Animal Care Center’s Paws and Pages Program, where I read to dogs who were especially anxious in a shelter setting. My lifelong experience with rescue dogs and my genuine commitment to the well-being of every animal I care for makes me a great sitter and walker. Whether your dog needs a playmate, a walking buddy, or simply a calming presence, I bring warmth and respect to every visit! Sunday: Available Monday: Available from 1pm-9pm Tuesday: Available from 1pm-9pm Wednesday: Available from 3:30pm-9pm Thursday: Available from 1pm-9pm Friday: Available Saturday: Available from 8am-1pm Thank you! I always prioritize making the pet and the owner feel safe and comfortable. I stick closely to the pet’s routine, as instructed my the owner. Your pet will feel loved and prioritized when they are in my care!

About: I grew up around farm and domesticated animals and have always have held a passion for learning about and taking care of animals. I have had my current dog with me since she was 12 weeks old, she is 13 going on 4 years old. I currently am working for myself at home. Therefore, I have open availability, in order to be able to cater to your pet sitting needs. I live near Dolan park and daily I take my dog on nice walks around the park and neighborhood. I have a comfortable home with 1 small dog.

“Jennifer has been amazing with my new puppy - first we did a meet and greet and she has been very reliable and super flexible with times. She knows dogs well and I trust her with my little Felix warmed up to her right away. Her communication is excellent - during the walk but also confirming in advance. Highly recommend!!”

About: Hi, I’m Daisy! I have three cats of my own—Hehe and Haha (15) and Toto (1)—all of whom I’ve raised since they were kittens. I come from a big cat-loving family and have years of experience fostering cats of all ages. I'm familiar with everything from senior cat care and administering special diets to keeping playful kittens engaged and happy. Whether your cat needs extra cuddles, medication, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, I'm here to help! I currently work full-time as a research associate, but I love spending my free time with animals! Pet care fits perfectly into my evenings and weekends, and I’m happy to do early mornings or drop-ins depending on your pet’s needs. Caring for animals is a joyful break from the lab! I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I give my own. With experience caring for senior cats, young kittens, and pets with special diets, I understand the importance of being attentive and gentle, especially when meeting new animals. I'm very clean and organized, and I make sure to leave your home just as I found it. I take the time to build trust with each pet at their own pace, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

“Bebo did a wonderful job watching my dog over the weekend! I love the pictures, videos, and updates!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs throughout my life—from growing up with two dogs to helping raise a new puppy in college. I’m familiar with the full life cycle of pet care: feeding, walking, and giving dogs the attention they need to feel secure. My sister’s puppy became part of the family while I was in undergrad, and I was always the one on call when my family needed help—whether it was long walks, early feedings, or keeping her calm while they were out. I love forming bonds with animals and understand the patience and energy it takes to keep them happy. I currently work full time in healthcare, but I have flexibility in my schedule—some days I work remotely, which allows me to take midday breaks for walks or drop-in visits. I’m also available in the early mornings, evenings, and most weekends. Since I recently moved to a new city, pet care has become a fulfilling way for me to connect with my new community and spend quality time doing something I love. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk or a cozy check-in, I make time for each pet as if they were my own. When I care for pets in clients’ homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and cleanliness. I carefully follow your instructions—whether it’s food portions, walking routines, or any special preferences your pet is used to. I always keep dogs close on leash and use cues or phrases they’re familiar with to help them feel calm and comfortable. I take extra care to respect your space and routines, and I stay attentive to your pet’s behavior to ensure they feel safe. You can count on regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you're away.

“Maya was an excellent pet sitter and took wonderful care of my senior kitty while I was away. I would trust her with any of my animals and highly recommend her to others.”

About: There’s not a moment I can remember when I didn’t have a pet around me growing up! Our first family dog was a golden retriever—a loyal and energetic companion who taught me how to care for larger breeds. Over time, I taught her a variety of commands like sit, paw, lay down, roll over, stand on two paws, and even crawl! Now, we have a sweet 12-pound maltipoo who loves attention and has a more relaxed personality. I’ve trained him to follow many of the same commands, and through this experience, I’ve come to understand how different each dog can be. Their needs, energy levels, and learning styles vary, and I’ve learned to adapt my care and training approach accordingly. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your dog and care for them like a true friend! 🤗 🗓️🖊️ Right now, my schedule is very flexible since my online internship is wrapping up soon. For the summer, I’m able to spend quality time with pets throughout the day—including early mornings and even late nights—since my job is primarily remote and winding down. This allows me to be highly available and responsive to your pet’s needs. Starting in October, I’ll begin my full-time college classes, so my availability will shift a bit. I’ll be sure to update my schedule accordingly and remain transparent so pet parents can plan confidently! 🐾☀️🌿 My approach to pet care is all about making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for—whether I’m visiting your home or spending the day out on a walk. Here’s how I tailor my care depending on the service: • 🏡House Sitting: When staying in your home, I aim to maintain your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible. I provide companionship, follow feeding and medication schedules, take them on walks, and keep them engaged with playtime and affection. I also make sure your home stays tidy and cared for while you’re away. • 🏃‍♀️Drop-In Visits: During drop-ins, I make the most of each visit to check in on your pet, refresh food and water, take them for a potty break, give them attention, and make sure they’re comfortable. Whether they need playtime, cuddles, or just a quick check-in, I adapt each visit to their needs. • 🦮Dog Walking: Walks are tailored to your dog’s energy level and preferences. Whether they enjoy a brisk pace or a slower stroll with lots of sniff breaks, I ensure they get safe, engaging, and enjoyable exercise. I’m always mindful of the weather and surroundings.

About: I LOVE animals. I have been around them my whole life, from my own in my household, to pet sitting for friends and family. I just moved here, post grad from college, and am working on getting my own dog out here! I would love to meet your furry friends and be able to love them for you while you are unable to! I just moved here, and work a remote job, so I have full availability! I might down the line work a few days a week at a breakfast restaurant, however my availability will remain very open! My biggest goal is for the animal to be comfortable, and able to trust me. In my home, I do not have a yard. But there is a grass area right outside, as well as a park just a minute walk down the road! I can stay and take care overnight, as well as walk, play and feed the animals, anything needed! Litter box cleaning and picking up poop are not issues at all as well!

“Luisa was fantastic! She checked on our 2 kitties twice a day during the Xmas holiday. Provided lots of updates/pictures. We would book again :)”
