“Kelly is the most amazing person and pet sitter! We immediately felt at ease when we met her and knew she was going to fabulous. She is a pet lover as we are. She took care of our pup better than any pet sitter we have ever had. We had not a care in the world leaving our precious dog in her care. She provided updates and special pictures with every drop in visit. Most of all she treated our dog with love and made her 5 days without us very special. Thank you Kelly! We will be requesting you for our next trip! Love, The Halter Family”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently have four of my own! I have experience with puppies, small breeds, large dogs, etc. I genuinely love animals and enjoy giving them the care and attention they deserve. Pet care is part of my normal day. With four dogs at home, I’m used to feeding, walking, and keeping up with their needs. It’s just something I’ve always done, and I actually enjoy it! At my home or a client’s, I try to keep pets comfortable and on their usual routine, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I make sure they have a clean space, fresh water, and lots of attention. I always follow any specific instructions the owner gives, since every pet is different.
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 have grown up around pets my whole life, including both cats and dogs. I helped train our puppy, give my cats insulin shots, and frequently pet sit for my friends. I currently don’t have a job and no other obligations. My full attention would be towards the pet, and I have flexible hours and days. I care for pets very attentively, while also making sure they have a good experience. We have a lake in my backyard if your dog likes to swim!
About: I have had a plethora of animals since I was a child, including dogs. I love everything about dogs and I am passionate about their safety and health! I currently am in college and work part time so I am free everyday, including weekends. Monday-Friday I can watch your animals after 12 p.m. and on weekends I am free all day! I currently have three fur babies and live in a safe, family friendly neighborhood. I have a huge backyard with grass and plenty of toys!
About: Over the past 20 years, I have cared for four dogs and currently share my home with two wonderful dogs. In addition, I have five cats—three of my own and two belonging to my son. I actively volunteer with Labradors and Friends Dog Rescue, where I serve as an Adoption Coordinator. My responsibilities include coordinating adoption efforts, assisting with dog walking, and supporting adoption events. As a retiree, I have the flexibility and availability to provide dedicated care for your pet’s needs. I have a deep love for animals and bring a compassionate, attentive approach to every interaction. Caring for animals is not just a service—it's a personal passion. Pet safety is my top priority when caring for animals in their home. I follow the owner’s specific instructions closely, maintain a secure environment by ensuring doors, gates, and windows are properly closed, and keep pets away from potential hazards such as toxic foods, household cleaners, and unsafe outdoor areas. I monitor pets closely for any signs of distress or illness and will always communicate promptly with the owner about any concerns. I also respect the routines and comfort zones of each pet to minimize stress and ensure they feel safe and cared for in their familiar surroundings.
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: 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: 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 on summer break from school and I am available multiple times a day 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.
“Tori was great. She watched the kitties for us while we were traveling and did a wonderful job. Highly recommended and will book with her again whenever we need sitting services.”
“Kayla has been amazing taking care of our dog! He really loves her. Kayla is great with communication before and during visits. She has flexible availability. I can tell that she really enjoys taking care of animals. Our dog is always happy after seeing Kayla. We appreciate her always being around to help us out!”
“Victoria was reliable and wonderfully friendly. It was great leaving town and being confident that our dog and cat were in trustworthy hands!”
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.
“Karman was awesome! Super communicative, sent great pictures and gave detailed updates! Highly recommend!”
“Nathan was really responsive and went out of his way to help us in different ways. He took care our cats well. Id strongly recommend to anyone!”
About: I used to work in the veterinary medicine world as a veterinary assistant as well as a receptionist for about 5 years, alongside working for my local Humane Society - began house & pet sitting for clients & have loved it ever since. I have 4 cats & 4 dogs of my own, as well as several other species of animals, so I am well rounded in experience with most animals. I’m currently a stay at home farm mom, so I have plenty of time all 7 days of the week to help you take care of your furry friends! I understand that every fur baby is different & has their own routines & needs.. my goal is to act as an extension of yourself in order to take care of your pets in whatever way they may need. It takes a village, & I’m your gal!

Cheylee B.Star Sitter
“Cheylee is the most loving animal lover that I can think of. Besides caring deeply about animals, even those other than her own, she is a hard worker and very responsible. Chey has shown herself to be extremely competent and someone that I'm happy to recommend to anyone looking for a caretaker for their beloved pet.”
Averi S.
“I would highly recommend Averi as a dog sitter. I hate leaving Bandit, our Jack Russell, at home without us, but it just wasn’t possible to take him to Europe on our family vacation. We were gone for about 10 days, and left Bandit in Averi’s care. She did so much more than the bare minimum, taking Bandit on long walks and giving him all the attention he loves. It was so relieving being sent pictures and videos everyday of Bandit looking happy and healthy. Averi also did not hesitate to ask questions if I forgot to clarify some details about Bandit’s daily routine, which I really appreciated. I will continue to reach out to Averi if I ever need help taking care of Bandit, as she sets herself to a standard of excellence, reliability, and loving care for pets!”
Bridget K.
“She is absolutely amazing with dogs. We had to go on a vacation but was worried to leave our dog behind as she had to take medication daily. Bridget always gave her medication on time and provided us with videos to make sure we felt reassured! Such an angel!”
CHRISTINE D.
“I’m happy to recommend my friend Christie for a position with Rover.com. Christie is one of the most dependable, thoughtful, and animal-loving people I know. She’s incredibly reliable, always follows through on her commitments, and treats every animal she meets with genuine care and respect. What truly sets Christie apart is her deep love for animals and her natural ability to make them feel safe, comfortable, and special. Whether it’s a dog, cat, or something more exotic, she connects with them easily and brings a calm, nurturing presence. Any pet parent would be lucky to have someone like Christie looking after their furry family members. I have no doubt she would be an excellent fit for the Rover community.”
Ayla C.
“Ayla is a truly exceptional pet caregiver. I've entrusted her with my anxious dog multiple times, and she always provides a calm, loving, and responsible environment. I return to a happy and relaxed pet every time. I wholeheartedly recommend Ayla to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares for their animals.”
Rhiannon D.

He is always tired and happy when I pick him up from a weekend with Holly. I would highly recommend her to absolutely anyone! :)”

She actually did work at two different Veterinarian Offices for quite some time. They were sorry to see her move away. Alexis is the perfect caregiver to any and all pets. She is patient and attentive, talking with them in a loving manner. They all fall in love with her and you will too.”
