Katherine was very accommodating and attentive to Roxy's needs. I would highly recommend her. I will certainly use her again. From the pictures she sent each visit, it was clear Roxy enjoyed her visits!

This was my first time using Jennifer to watch my Daisy. I had regular communication and plenty of pictures showing Daisy having a great time. I will be scheduling Jennifer for my 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: 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: 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: 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 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: 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: 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've grown up in a dog loving family and have been around dogs my entire life. Currently, we have two large dogs at home, a Rottweiler and an American Bully–Mastiff mix, so I’m very comfortable handling strong, energetic breeds. I was heavily involved in training both of them from a young age, including potty training, teaching them basic commands like sit, stay, wait, and give paw, as well as reinforcing good behavior and routines. Beyond caring for my own dogs, I have plenty of hands on experience watching other people’s pets, both in my home and by staying at theirs for several days at a time. I genuinely love being around dogs and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. My background with different breeds, training experience, and calm, confident approach are what set me apart as a sitter. I am currently home from college for the summer and have a lot of free time, which makes pet care a great fit for me right now. I’m available most days during the week and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. With my flexible schedule, I can easily adapt to your dog’s routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need while you're away. I care for pets in my clients home to make sure they stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I always follow your dogs routine as closely as possible whether thats with feeding schedules, walks, or play time. I also make sure your house is kept clean and safe, and treat it with the same respect I would with my own. Your pets safety, happiness, and well being are my top priority while you're away.

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!

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.

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.
