“Stephanie is the BEST! She accommodating, communicative, trustworthy, and so kind! Our pups love her and are always so happy when we arrive back home. It’s refreshing to know our dogs are in such good care, in the comfort of their own home (instead of a daycare). We appreciate everything you do for our pups (and for us, too), Stephanie!”



“Jen rescued us last minute and she was wonderful! She took pictures and sent them everyday without me even asking. Would definitely recommend.”



About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m also great with cats! Compassionate, dependable, and always on time. Right now, my schedule is fully open, which means I can be flexible and available whenever needed. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine! I always treat each home and pet with the utmost respect and care. I follow routines closely, ensure clean, safe environments, and prioritize trust and comfort.

“Page was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was punctual, professional, and truly wonderful with my dog Maple. Her care and attention made all the difference—Maple adores her! Highly recommend Page for anyone seeking a terrific pet sitter!”


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: Always available for a meet and greet! I’m positive your kiddo will love me just as much as I will love them! I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to slow paced seniors, I understand how to meet each dog’s unique needs with patience, consistency, and love. I’m comfortable administering medications, managing special diets, and providing enrichment activities that keep pets mentally and physically stimulated. What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of canine behavior and body language, which helps me connect with even the most anxious or misunderstood dogs. I also have experience in professional animal care settings, where I’ve handled everything from medical bathing routines for dogs with skin conditions to socializing animals that were mislabeled as aggressive. Whether it’s basic training reinforcement, senior dog mobility support, or just lots of play and cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Pet care is an essential and fulfilling part of my daily life. I care for my dogs every day, making sure they get exercise, structured routines, playtime, and downtime. I’ve worked as a veterinary technician and assist with everything from treating infections to helping dogs recover physically and emotionally. Pet care is what I’m passionate about and where I feel most at home. When I’m caring for a client’s pet, I prioritize safety, consistency, and comfort above all else. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, from feeding schedules to medication, potty breaks, and playtime because I know how important structure is for their well being. In my home, I provide a calm and structured environment with plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and rest. I’m experienced in managing multiple dogs, including those with different energy levels or special needs. I also maintain clean and dog safe spaces and use positive reinforcement to guide behavior and build trust. Whether it’s short term drop ins, extended stays, or special care needs like senior support or medical routines, I provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s needs.

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.


“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: 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: 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 love my pets like they are family. My first job was at a boarding facility and I LOVED it. I have worked with all sorts of dogs (size& temperament). I have an older cat and a Great Dane at home with me and love them to pieces . The get along with other dogs well. I mostly stay at home with our younger sons which allows me to be very flexible for families and pets that need more constant care throughout their stay with us. We have a fenced yard, extra kennels if your pet is kennel trained. They would be free to roam the house and sit and cuddle wherever they feel comfortable. Our pup will play or sleep biased on your dogs needs.

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: I’m a former veterinary technician, have cared for a wide range of animals since I was a kid. I know some first aid and have experience with basic grooming(bathing, brushing, nail trimming). Your furry friend will be well cared for when under my care. Currently a stay at home mom, just taking care of my baby and my own animals so have lots of extra time to help care for your dog! I treat every pet as I would treat my own animals. They are like family and will be loved on and cared for during our time together.

“Tori was amazing for a last minute trip out of town for our doggo! She was quick to reply and worked with us to make sure Stinky was taken care of. Highly recommend! Thank you again so much!”


About: I’ve always had little side jobs of taking care of pets or houses! I’m very reliable and trustworthy! I’m a college student who loves animals and helping out wherever you need me! I have multiple pets because I live with a lot of animals and always have! I was always the one to take care of the pets at home and never failed to make them happy! I have a bird and 2 dogs that I take care of everyday and it’s my favorite part of the day! I have a fenced in yard with a lot of space for play! As well as a big enough house if you don’t want your furbabies outside! They have plenty of toys and room to move around!

About: I have 20 years of pet-sitting experience, along with a professional background in animal care, rescue, and rehabilitation. I'm experienced with dogs of all personalities, from puppies to seniors. I have Fear-Free handling certification and an up-to-date Pet First Aid & CPR certificate. My house is a doggy paradise! The spacious, fenced yard is great for exploring, with pawsome views of our paddocks and horses. The sand arena is perfect for games of fetch, while our resident small dog Benny is always ready to play chase. There's even a pup splash pool, for cooling off on those hot summer days. Animal care is my full-time job, so my daily routine is based on my bookings. My own pets are happy to fill the gaps when I'm not working! I'm insured with Pet Sitters Associates and have an up-to-date Pet First Aid & CPR certification. I'm a member of Pet Sitters International (PSI). As a devoted pet parent, I know how difficult it can be to find trustworthy, reliable care for your pets, and I endeavor to be the kind of sitter I seek for my own. Animals are my life, so you can rest assured that your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I follow instructions thoroughly and will stick to your dog's feeding/medication schedule. I only board one dog at a time, unless they're from the same family. This helps to ensure a peaceful and safe environment.

“Victoria was reliable and wonderfully friendly. It was great leaving town and being confident that our dog and cat were in trustworthy hands!”


About: I’ve taken care of a pregnant mother dog and helped her give birth! I took care of the litter of puppies until they were about two months old and then found them loving homes! I’m currently at home from college and I have plenty of time to give your fur babies attention! I am available any time day or night! I will respect your space and privacy while also following all your pet care instructions, this includes playtimes, meals, walks, medication, or any other special instructions you may have!

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!

Rhiannon D.
“Rhiannon is one of the kindest people to animals that I know. She treats her dog as family and would do anything for him. He is a great dog with plenty of manners and you can tell he is very loved and well taken care of. He is also very trained and is a pleasure to have around. I have a dog that means the world to me, and I trust Rhi to take care of her when I am out of town. Rhi is very knowledgeable about animal behavior and nutrition. Lucy and I are lucky to have Rhi and Cody around. You can trust Rhi to take care of, train, or walk your dog, I do. ”

Cheylee B.Star Sitter
“Cheylee is a gem. We have two dogs, one with only three legs. Cheylee took care of our dogs and home four times. Our dogs enjoy her care and kindness. Her responsibility and attention to details is top notch. Our dogs were walked, fed, pet, brushed and had endless tummy rubs by Cheylee. Her love of animals shows in the care she provides. Our dogs are calm and relaxed in her presence. Cheylee cared for our hamster, bird and fish in addition to our dogs. She is a one of a kind person and our go to person for our pet care. We have known Cheylee and her family for over 18 years. I recommend Cheylee personally and professionally.”

We even call her "Aunt Holly" because she treats my dog Murray just like one of her own! I never have to worry when she takes care of him. He is always tired and happy when I pick him up from a weekend with Holly. I would highly recommend her to absolutely anyone! :)”

“Gemma is absolutely amazing with animals and is reliable and honest. I’ve known Gemma for years and she works super hard to take care of her horse and her dog, Benny, because they are her best friends. She grew up with dogs, cats and horses and just has a way with them, even when they have difficult personalities. She is confident and knows what she is doing, and I would trust her with any of my pets. She often used to look after my cat, Dirk, who loved her (my cat does not like people), and I knew she was being well taken care of because I always came home to a happy and relaxed cat.”
