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: I have been providing animal care since I was 12 years old anywhere from dog walking to pet sitting. I have 3 years experience as a vet tech and currently I am a second year vet student. I love all animals, dogs, cats, and even exotics. I have volunteered for a training facility and I am willing to work with dogs that may need more love and patience. I am willing to provide long walks for those go-getter dogs or short walks for those who prefer the calmer side of life. I’m currently in school and I am available in the evening 6 days a week. I am available for dog walks, or drop in visits for potty breaks or play dates! I have experience with dogs of all different temperaments and strive to create a warm and safe environment for all your fur babies! I will enter homes calmly and allow pets to get comfortable with me before proceeding. I will spend time loving and getting to know your pet.

About: I had a dog as a kid from the ages 6-18. I was a canine coach at a doggy daycare and worked with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I also maintained a group of 30 dogs at a time. I have no problem cleaning poop or puke or anything like that. I also volunteered at a zoo and worked with the primates. I love every animal I see and I especially love dogs. I will love your baby as much as you do Over the summer starting May 11th 2026 I can do any time any day. I do have a trip planned in July.

I can all house sit on any day of you give me a week notice I care for all animals by reading their body language and respecting it. If a dog or cat does not want to be pet, I’m not going to. If they are playful, I’ll be playful. I will also lay down and cuddle your baby. I always put the dogs safety and anxiety first.

About: Hi, I’m Mya! I have a strong passion for animals and have spent the last seven years in 4-H caring for and working with a variety of animals. Through that experience, I’ve learned responsibility, patience, and how to properly care for animals of all personalities and needs. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just sitting with them and keeping them company. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away, and I always do my best to give them that same level of care and attention. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I’m comfortable adjusting to each animal’s routine, energy level, and temperament. Whether your pet needs lots of activity and playtime or prefers a calm, quiet environment, I’m happy to meet their needs. My goal is to provide reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitting so you can have peace of mind knowing your animals are in good hands. I’m currently working part-time. I’ve been in 4-H for 7 years, working with a wide range of animals and people. I can do walks and help with medication I am respectful and can communicate within 24 hours or less. I am a certified equine light therapist and can do anything treatment and therapy you ask

About: I have been casually taking care of friends’ dogs for many years; and of course have loved and trained so many furbabies of my own. (8-140 pounds as variety is the spice of life). I have always had at least two or more dogs. However, my current good boy is living his best life as an only child. So, as I move toward semi retirement and a desire for a schedule change; I’d like to offer the extra space in my heart to other Anthem area pets for walks; drop in visits; medication; potty breaks; etc. . Would love to schedule a “meet and greet.”. Also experienced with reptiles of many kinds. I look forward to meeting your family. My current schedule is flexible. I am always walking my dog every morning and look forward to the additional exercise. Early morning walking hours in summer are best. But midday visits and potty breaks are available as well. Winter walks will be available before 5 PM. Walks and drop in visits will be catered to your dog’s specific needs, desires, and energy level. *If your dog is a member of Anthem dog park, Play dates can also be arranged.

About: I have been around animals since I was born. Growing up, I had four dogs and eventually would adopt three foster kittens. I have always taken care of my family's pets and would watch my friend's cats and dogs while they were away on vacation. I understand cat and dog feeding, dog walking, and litter box cleaning. Currently, I am a college student looking for a summer job so I will be sure to have enough time to accommodate you and your pets! The two services I provide at the moment are check-ins and dog walks. Your pet's safety is my number one concern and I promise to be on constant alert while on dog walks and fully understand your pet's proper feeding regime. I want to bring you ease of mind while I do my job and care for your pets. One note is that I will not walk a dog on the pavement past 95 degrees as any hotter and your pet will be at risk of burning their paws. It is best advised to schedule extended walking periods in the summer in the earlier or later parts of the day.

About: I have grown up with all types of pets growing up. I have experience with puppies, kitten, seniors, and special needs animals! I have grown up with at least 4 dogs in my house at a time. I love dogs, cats, and anything else of all sizes! I am reliable, detail oriented, and committed to keeping pet owners updated with regular communication, photos, and checkins for peace of mind. I also have experience caring for both young and senior pets. With younger pets, I am patient with training reinforcement, potty schedules, and high energy playtime. For senior pets, I understand the importance of gentle care, medication schedules, mobility support, and maintaining consistent routines to keep them comfortable and stress free. I currently work midnights 3 days a week. I am available at anytime the other 4 days of the week! I am a very active person so I love going on walks and runs, so will your pups!! I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust in every pet care experience. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they stay on their normal routine as much as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I always provide a clean, calm, and pet friendly environment with plenty of supervision, affection, and playtime. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs to ensure they are safe and stress free at all times. During walks and outdoor time, I use secure leashes, avoid unsafe situations, and prioritize the pet’s safety above everything else. In a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and maintain cleanliness while ensuring their pets receive consistent care, companionship, and attention. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands while they are away.

So happy with Becky's services! We came home to well-loved babies for sure ?. My only complaint was that I’m pretty sure my cat MacGuyver (AKA GuyGuy) wants Becky to be his mother now ? - the photos of his time with her were quite damning and I’ve told him we might not be speaking for a while ?. Thank you, Becky! Will definitely be looking to you in the future! ❤️

About: As your Friendly Neighborhood Pet Sitter, my experience includes caring for my childhood cats: Smokey, Cuddles and Patches, and dog Jackson. My childhood animals helped build a solid foundation in learning how to be a responsible, caring, and loving pet owner. When I became an adult, my dog Jasper, and cats Tabitha and Missy helped solidify that experience. That's when I began taking on additional responsibilities of caring for the pets of family and friends. I have many wonderful memories of caring for my dad's cat Ziggy and dog Lucy. Responsibilities like feeding, grooming, exercising, and playtime of animals (especially for other people's pets) is a big responsibility. It's a job I take seriously and enjoy, but above all, these animals helped form the friendly, caring, and loving pet sitter I am today! I'm a stay-at-home mom of a son in 7th grade, so I have availability in my routine to walk, feed, and play with your pets when you are at work during the day. When I visit your home as a pet sitter, first I will be responsible and secure with any passcodes, and keys that you have entrusted in me to care for your animal. In addition, safety is my priority. Any door that I open, I will make sure is closed. Any concerns with the temperature (especially on those hot days) or any other issues with the home I will make sure I address with you. I will make sure your pet has been safe and happy since being left alone. And above all, I will play, exercise, feed, and care for your animal and give it the love and friendly attention it deserves!

About: I have 40 years of experience caring for dogs and horses. I’m located between Tramonto and Anthem.Conveniently located off the I17 and Carefree Hwy Your pets will feel at home and treated like our own. Our tiny guests here at the ranch are kennel-free and off-leash, meaning they are free to frolic either in the house or outside with no leashes but always supervised. The property is fenced and cross-fenced, I have security cameras both inside and out, and I give undivided attention to my precious guests. Enjoy knowing that your dog is happy and relaxed while you’re away I can send photos to you daily or upon request. I understand not all dogs are the same. Some are a burst of energy, constantly moving and playing while others need quiet time in between social hours. To make sure all of our boarding guests are happy and comfortable, I make sure they are compatible to be left to play together . Or I can make different accommodations in the playroom. Our fun outdoor area is just like home, and our guests love being outside. Your dog will get to explore, run, jump, and frolic or relax in the sun or shade, and of course use this time for a potty break! I promise the very best care for each and every dog. You can drop off and pick up your dog anytime. I always make acceptions for emergencies Our guests are family and so are their pet parents. We treat all with respect and dignity. I am always home day and night. Except to run out for an errand for a short time. I have inside cameras to monitor while I run out. No leashes or kennels here. Yomur babies can roam around the inside of the house as they do at home. I have a fenced yard and will have plenty of outside time with supervision My front door has a courtyard as an extra safety precaution when opening the door.
