“Jen was the best!! She provided outstanding care for our cat. She kept all appointments on time. Kept us informed how our cat was doing, sent lots of pictures and text updates. She spent extra time playing with our cat. When we got home, we were met by a very happy kitty!!! She is usually mad at us for a few hours, but not this time!! Returning after 7 days, it was like we never left!!! I would recommend Jen anytime!!! All ready have her booked for our next trip!”

About: My pups and I are happy, healthy, fit, and fun - we walk, run, or hike daily, and would love to take others out with us too. At the moment I am working 4/7 days so can only offer weekend boarding, or friendly pups for long term boarding with the understanding that on work days the dogs have the house and the yard and each other for company, but no direct supervision during work hours. My days off (fri-sun) are all about the animals! Your pups will be treated as if they were my own. They will have company, comfort, and as much or as little exercise as required.
About: Raised on a farm and surrounded by animals my entire life, I’m confident caring for dogs of all breeds, abilities, temperaments and needs. I follow routines closely, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and always prioritize your dog’s safety and happiness. I’m available as early as 7am and as late as 9:30pm for walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and companionship. I work part-time, so my schedule allows for flexible visits throughout the day. Overnight stays are available when needed and can be discussed in advance. I provide care in my client’s home to help pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and rest. I make sure they always have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention and affection. I prioritize safety at all times by securing doors and gates, using leashes properly, and monitoring pets during walks and play. I keep the home tidy, clean up after pets, and treat every client’s space with respect. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners can feel confident and at ease while they’re away
About: Hi my name is Ayla! I have had many pets growing up and I still do have pets. I have fed, walked, and bathed my dogs as well as administering occasional medication in pill form. I currently have an 11 month plot hound puppy and I am in the process of training him. I feed, water, walk, and bathe him as well. I am also diligent in cleaning up after myself and after pets. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time of time to care and play with your pups! I am available Tuesday-Friday every week. I am familiar with crate training and I handle issues with tenderness and care. I understand when to back up and provide space if a dog feels threatened or upset. All in all, I am very loving and caring to all animals.
About: Hello Pet Parents, I'm back to pet sitting after being gone awhile. I was working full time but now I am retired- woo hoo! A little about myself. Friends will tell you that I will run up to greet an animal first before a person - LOL - sad but true! I've volunteered at the AZ Humane Society and rescued all my dogs m from the AZ Animal Welfare League. My last job was working for PetSmart Charities. I just returned from volunteering at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, UT. It was amazing. Please give me a call so we can all have a meet & greet! Thank you! Holly I’ve recently retired and looking to get out of my husband’s hair! I love meeting new pets and adding adventures to their lives since they aren’t with us long enough! At home, we have a pet door and a fully fenced yard. I also own 2 donkeys but I don’t allow them to meet. All it takes is one kick. I’m all about safety first.
About: I am retired and enjoy living and playing in Big Bear. I dont have my own pets so let me take care of yours! I have owned pets for many years and I am that guy who says hi to every pet in town :) They are one of mankind's favorite creatures and I do my part to make them happy and safe. I am currently retired and have flexible hours and enjoy being outdoors. I am available for overnight stays in my home or day care. I can accomodate regular scheduling or work with people that travel or take vacations. I have a large home in Big Bear. There is a fenced yard with plenty of shade and privacy. I think your pet will find it to be a vacation all to themselves!
“Elizabeth was amazing! She pays great attention to detail and was very reliable! She administered my cats insulin with no problems so I’ll definitely be using her again when need be!”
About: I stared dog sitting my freshman year of highschool for my neighbor, but eventually I enjoyed it so much that my friends would ask me to take care of their pets while they were out of town; from dogs, cats, and even hamsters. I always enjoy being around animals and I always find a way to build a good bond with them. I am a student at U of A, all my classes are usually in the morning so I’m free most afternoons. I am free on the weekends and can do any overnight pet sitting on Fridays and Saturdays. So if you’re going out for the weekend feel free to reach out! If the house has a backyard I will let them out every hour to ensure they are using the bathroom, if the house does not have a backyard I will take the dog out for a short walk every 2-3 hours. Of course i’ll take the dogs for a long walk everyday whether the house has a backyard or not. I will follow any schedules such as feeding schedules that the owners give me.
About: My first dog I got when I was in the 4th grade. She changed my life. Now I’ve never been able to connect with a dog on that level since her but I still love them. & hope some day I will be able to give my kids that. I am a single mom with 3 kids under the age of 6. Adding a fur baby to the mix just isn’t in the cards for me right now. & after this year I’m looking to get back on my feet. So I thought this could be a good way to make some extra money to help us. We are a very active bunch. Love hiking, walking, and pretty much anything outdoors. Like I said before we are always outside. I like to take walks in the morningsevenings. Love hiking. I work from home so I can make my own schedule. Depends on the dog. Just like my kids each one is different. What works for one might not work for the other. I would like to mimic as much as the dogs normal as possible.
“Sage did an excellent job with our 2 senior chihuahuas! I was a little leery about how they would behave with having a stranger come into our home, but they loved her and were happy to see her when she stopped by. She was attentive to their needs and provided feedback when she noticed something amiss. Thank you again, Sage, for taking care of our babies!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12. Family, friends, and neighbors have all relied on me to provide care and dedicated companionship to their pets such as walking, keeping company, and overnight boarding. I am comfortable with all animals and have experience with animals of all ages, ranging from under 1 year old to 12 years old. I am more than happy to adapt and learn how to care best for your pet. When I care for them, I will dedicate all of my time to care for, play with, walk, and love your animal. I would also love to take them to the dog park to interact with other animals while you are away! I grew up having dogs of my own - a chocolate lab, boxer, and pitbull mix who were all full of energy! I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am very flexible and would be happy to work with you. When in your home, I would love to take your pets for walks, take them to dog parks; anything that you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I have a very flexible schedule, I will almost always be available to care for your pets. For any last minute/urgent plans, I should be able to easily accommodate them due to my flexibility. I always keep an eye on the pets ensuring their utmost comfort and safety. I am quickly able to identify signs of safety hazards, discomfort and/or distress in pets.
About: I enjoy being around animals. I believe on treating your pets like family , with care and respect. I’m reliable and punctual. I will always keep the client informed. I’m a very flexible person, I can cater to the client’s needs. Preforming over nights, drop-ins for walks, or to just check in on pets. I always make a point to meet the clients before I take a job, this helps to get to know the pets and clients routine with there pets.
“Leilani helped me out caring for Kane last minute after my sitter pulled out when I was out of the country. I appreciate her so much for taking the time very last minute.”

“I felt so lucky to have Teri take care of my cat Rex while I was on vacation. She checked on him and played with him twice a day for a whole week and I am so thankful she cared so much about my precious little cat! He is such an energetic cat and she took great care of him. I would not hesitate to book Teri again.”

“Karli went above and beyond to care for our two Great Danes. We’ve always been hesitant to hire someone outside of our family to care for our dogs but Karli was personable and immediately took to our dogs. There was a miscommunication and she ended up having to crawl through our dog door a couple of times but the fact that she was even willing to do so was impressive. She also cleaned up the mess when our pup shredded her dog bed. We would not hesitate to hire Karli again.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs for friends, family, and referrals, and I approach every booking with a high level of attentiveness and respect for your dog’s routine. I’m comfortable with a range of temperaments and energy levels, and I take the time to understand what makes each dog feel secure—whether that’s structure, play, or a calm, consistent presence. My style is thoughtful and observant. I don’t just “watch” dogs—I pay attention to their behavior, energy, and environment so they feel safe, settled, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I maintain a flexible schedule and am selective with bookings so I can provide a high level of care and attention. When I’m in town, I have strong availability for walks, drop-ins, and sitting—particularly afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I prioritize consistency and presence, so your dog receives focused, unhurried care. I operate with a strong focus on safety, routine, and clear communication. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your dog’s environment stays consistent and low-stress. I’m attentive on walks, mindful of surroundings, and respectful of each dog’s individual needs and boundaries. Because I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’m able to give your dog my full, undivided attention. I also provide regular updates and photos so you feel informed and at ease while you’re away. I’m best suited for well-socialized dogs and am not able to take on cases involving aggressive behavior.
About: Ever since I was young, I’ve taken care of my family’s chickens, snakes, and dogs. My neighbors also had dogs, horses, and many other animals that I’ve petsit. I loved dogs so much that I walked my neighbors dogs for free since it would be good exercise for me and for the dogs themselves. Whether cuddling or playing and even doing the dirty work like cleaning up poop or throw up, I will love your dogs like I love my own. If you’re booking me for house sitting, I will walk your dog free of charge. :) I have dog walking in the morning and tend to go to the gym at night for a few hours or a date night once in awhile, I won’t be away from your pet for more than 4-6 hours according to your wishes! To make sure our furry friends are safe, healthy, and happy I would love to have a meet n greet with the owner and their pet to go over their feedings and routine before a booking. Just like I did with my dog, I’ll give your dog my constant care and attention, giving them ample affection. For dogs I’ve taken care of at my neighbors house or my clients house, I respect whether or not they’re allowed on the couches or the bed. If they want to play I could spend hours playing with them, of course stopping when I see them becoming tired or overheated. I would also like to call myself a part time maid since I like to leave the house cleaner than I found it. I love going on walks or runs with dogs to release their energy and I’m careful to avoid other dogs if they tend to be reactive.
About: I'm was professional pet trainer at a major retail chain. I've lived with a dog, cat, chinchilla, hamster, bird, or fish most of my life. I love fur babies and want help people when they need to be away from their beloved pets. Most recently, I helped sit a household with four elderly dogs with various medical needs. I have experience giving medications to dogs, as well as dogs with disabilities like blindness and deafness. Ideally with pet sitting, my wife and I would meet the dogs and/or cats before we pet sit to learn their specific needs, and learn where the food and treats hide. Depending on the pets and the weather, we like long hikes/walks and short trips around the neighborhood. You actually receive two pet sitters with me. My spouse will be home most of the time while I'm at work. I'm also a certified pet sitter with Pet Sitters International. I'm a Vocational Specialist, and my wife and I work together when petsitting, so she's there when I'm not. We work together and it's a team business. I like to learn the current routine of your beloved pet(s) and try to keep their routine for their comfort. I make sure I learn your house rules and will not let those puppy dog eyes persuade me to let them on the couch unless you say it is ok. I have my Pet First Aid Course and am taking other courses to increase my Pet Safety knowledge.
