About: My kids and I have been pet sitting for the Gladden Farms/Marana area for 8 years now. Animals have always been a passion of mine and its beautiful to see that my kids care and love them just as much as I do. We believe that caring for your furry, or scaley, animals is a family affair! Im currently a stay-at-home mom with my 1 year old. My older two are in school during the day. Pet sitting has been part of our lives for a long time now and all the kids love it. We enjoy fitting your pets needs into our schedule! With my kids by my side, we bring a warm, nurturing touch to every pet we look after. Together, we create a fun and loving environment where your pets feel right at home., what better addition than a child’s love? In the mornings you can expect us to take a walk to beat the heat, give fresh cold water, prepare breakfast per directions and make sure leashes and supplies are put away. Afternoon visits are mainly indoors. I will let the pups outside to go potty. Make sure their water bowl is full. Then roll a ball around and give tons of cuddles and love! Dinner time is more relaxing. I will let them outside again to potty. If the dogs have lots of energy, we will play before dinner to avoid getting a tummy ache, then make sure they have everything they need for bedtime. whether its playful walks on the trail, cuddles on the couch, or playing fetch in the yard, we ensure that your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Trust us to treat your beloved companions as part of our family, making their time away from you a joyful experience, and your time away from them worry-free!
“Carla goes above and beyond. She is caring and it shows. Recommend her anytime.”
About: I've taken care of rabbits, dogs, cats, fishes, and even hermit crabs! I used to live on a farm so I'm used to taking care of the smallest pets to the biggest. My own pets are elderly and so I can admitted proper care to them. I also have experience with cats that are diagnosed with kidney disease. I prefer weekends for house sitting or overnight! I can do very early dogs walks especially during the summer to keep pets safe and out of the heat. The same can be said about evenings, whenever is safest for the animals. I am a very good multitasking, so I'm confident in my ability to keep pets safe when pet sitting. I prefer details on clients homes, like if the backyard is fenced, etc. So that I can make a through plan to keep your pets safe.
“Thank you for taking such good care of our cat. We will rebook next vacation.”
“As always, Gabby was great! Our very shy cat Rocky even came out of hiding and let Gabby rub her head. That only happened because Gabby understands cats and knows when to give them their space.”
“Shiloh watched our very shy cat Lulu while we were out of town. Not only did we get pictures every day, but she wrote updates on her visits with so much detail that I knew Lulu was in great hands and I was able to enjoy my vacation. Shiloh clearly has a way with animals, even though our kitty is super shy I really appreciated Shilohs efforts to make Lulu feel comfortable. I definitely recommend Shiloh and will use her again. You will not be disappointed!”
“I loved the several pictures and the last minute availability. Benji is my child in dog form and it felt safe and comfortable. She did not feel like a stranger and I’m very happy with the drop in service I got. Will 100% have her over again!”
About: I’ve had pets since before I was born, including dogs, a cat, rabbits, birds, and fish. While dogs are definitely my favorite, I also had the opportunity to intern at the Florida Aquarium for two semesters, where I was able to care for rescued shore birds and reptiles. I currently work full-time but have a flexible schedule so I can help you care for your pets on those busy days away from home. Our current pups are both free roaming in the house, with a doggie door, and I am happy to maintain whatever routine you have that is best for your fur baby. Our rescue, who we think is border collie (mixed with perhaps velociraptor?) is very high energy and highly intelligent, goes running with me, and we utilize enrichment techniques to keep him happy. Our bulldog is happier with short walkies, playing, and snuggles on the couch. My last pup, Annie (she crossed the rainbow bridge in 2021) had a lot of mobility issues so I am comfortable assisting pups physically (use of ramp, hind quarter harness, lifting).
“Jacob was simply awesome. Our pups were well cared for and got along extremely well with him. I will definitely reach out to him for future needs and do recommend him for anyone else.”
About: I've owned and cared for dogs for over twenty years, at one point we actually had seven of them, and two horses. I'm available to come take care of your little buddy (or buddies) seven days/week, preferably in the morning and late afternoon. You can expect photos of them throughout the day, I know I love to see what mine are up to when I'm not around and I assume you do too! My home is pet friendly with a nice fenced yard, right across the street from a dog park, located in the heart of Palmer. I can provide tons of exercise and love to your fur family while you’re away. As a semi retired grandma, I have nothing but time! I love to walk, hike, and explore outdoors. I do have grand children so all pets must be friendly with kids. I have a fenced yard located across the street from a local dog park. I am happy to crate your pups if you’d like, or they can sleep with me. My dog recently passed away of old age, so there are no other pets in the house and yours will have all of my attention.
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. I have vet experience as both a kennel tech and a vet tech. I can administer meds if needed and am very comfortable around all types of pets I am currently pursuing a degree in wildlife conservation but that should not affect my availability. At the moment I am available any day at any time. I have two dogs and two cats myself. They are all great with other animals and I have a fully fenced in backyard as well.
“Our girls absolutely LOVE Kemma! She is so attentive to them while we are away. So glad we found her as our dog sitter!”
About: I am an army veteran and a credentialed veterinary technician with more than 15 years in the field. I currently work at an emergency ICU hospital, and actively pursuing my specialization in emergency and critical care. My husband works from home as a software engineer, so someone is always there. My daughter has been around animals her whole life, and is very trained around all personality types. I also am a certified pharmacy technician, and am well versed with medications and administration. I have spent extensive training in behavior and volunteer with rescues. Special needs dogs that have special personalities or needs are no problem. My goal is to make this experience as smooth, as stress-free as possible and most importantly fun! What to expect out of a visit or stay with us: Our fur babies are just as important as our humans in our families. I will be providing daily picture and video updates, Daily monitoring/report cards for each day in our care, incident reports, and a graduate certificate after each stay. I currently work at am Emergency Veterinary hospital as a relief technician. This means I basically can make and adjust my schedule around as I please. My husband works from home, so there is always someone there to entertain our visitors. I have a fenced in backyard and several gates to segregate different pets. I am trained with the "crate and rotate" method. Meaning if there are dogs that are more nervous, I will let them outside on their own or eat by themselves, but they are able to see through the barriers so they can still socialize until they are more comfortable.
“Vanessa did a very professional job. She was on time at all meetings, stayed in frequent contact with pictures while we were gone and kept our fur babies safe. I will definitely use her again. Five stars from me for her services.”
