Pet care experience
Dogs are family, not guests
Hey there! I'm a lifelong dog lover based in Phoenix, AZ who has been caring for dogs my whole life and I mean that in the most hands-on way possible. It really started with my pug, Lucas. I got him when I was 22 and took full responsibility for his care, daily walks, training, the whole thing. I still smile thinking about the day our vet told me Lucas was the fittest pug he had ever seen. That moment meant everything to me, and it's a good reminder of how much consistent love and care makes a difference in a dog's life. Since then I've expanded my experience a lot. I regularly cared for my sister's Weimaraner (Ghost) and German Pointer (Athena), including full house-sitting when she traveled, and I've also looked after my brother's pitbull (Smokey) and husky (Canelo). So whether your pup is a laid-back cuddle bug or a high-energy adventure dog, I've got experience with both ends of the spectrum! I treat every dog I sit like a member of my own family. You can expect regular updates, photos, and honest communication throughout your dog's stay, because I know how much it means to have peace of mind when you're apart from your fur baby. If you're looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs (not just as a side gig), I'd love to meet your pup! 🐾
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My home is set up with dogs in mind. I have a good-sized patio with tall walls, a brick floor, and plenty of shade, so your dog can enjoy outdoor time safely. Inside, the space is fully dog-proofed, so you can relax knowing your pup is in a secure, comfortable environment.
Ratings and reviews
Priscila has been wonderful with our five-year-old pitbull, Diesel. She walks him a couple of times a week and does drop-in visits, and we couldn't be happier with her care. You can tell Priscila genuinely loves what she does. Diesel gets so excited when he knows she's coming over. She always keeps us updated and makes sure he's well-exercised and happy. I handle walks on the weekends, and it's great knowing Diesel is in such good hands the rest of the time. We couldn't recommend Priscila more highly!
Frances truly is a gem and honestly my sanity saver! She cared for my two terriers, Cliff (2 years old and professionally mischievous) and Norm (8 years old and convinced he’s royalty), for a little over two years before we moved away. From walks and playtime to drop-ins, feedings, medications, and all the little quirks that come with terrier personalities, Frances handled everything with patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. My boys absolutely adore her (showing the kind of full-body-tail-wag excitement that tells you everything you need to know). She always kept me updated, paid attention to their routines, and treated them like her own furry children. I’ve happily recommended Frances to friends and family, and I would trust her again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, experienced, and clearly an animal lover, Frances is your person. 5/5 paws without question!
I've known Priscila for years and she was amazing with my schnauzer Quentin. From park trips to drop-ins to full dog sitting, she did it all and did it well. Quentin is an energetic, playful dog and she matched his energy every time. I never worried when he was with her because I knew he was happy, safe, and having a great time. 10/10 would recommend.

Schedule
My schedule is flexible, which means dogs in my care are never an afterthought. I have the time and energy to go on proper walks, spend quality time, and be truly present, not just available.
