“Ama was great with my pup! Highly recommend.”


About: As a long time dog owner, knowing that a dog has the right personality there to help brighten its day is important. Especially the older generation of dogs need extra attention and care in their day to day needs. Currently I have a very wide availability to be able to assist your pet with what schedule it may need for walking or play time. Understanding that all animals have different comfort levels and care needs, I am able to follow a list of what helps your pet feel comfortable while working with a new friendly face.

“Quick responses and she even cleaned up when my pup had an accident in the kennel. I will definitely be using Tammy again.”


“Andrea is very responsive and attentive! She was very patient with our new pup as she gets settled into our home! Highly recommend Andrea!”


About: I’ve been pet sitting for others since I was 15. From a Great Dane to a small Yorkie, your fur baby is in good hands. Or should I say, Good Paws. I’m off of school for the summer, so my days are mostly free. With that, pet sitting would be my main priority when I’m booked. I would prefer a clean home, free of things that the pets can easily get into. If available, a fenced in yard or clear walking instructions.

About: I've grown up taking care of all kinds of pets and critters! I have worked as a veterinary assistant and a wildlife rehabilitator, and have spent most of my free time volunteering in animal shelters and wildlife rehabilitation centers. I’d be happy to take care of any pets besides just your cat and dog, just let me know what you need! You can be sure that I will provide the very best care that I can for your pets :) I currently work as a veterinary assistant and am volunteering at wildlife rehabilitation centers and animal shelters, and can schedule those around drop-ins and walks, so I have a pretty open schedule! I’m usually busy Mondays and Wednesdays, but am happy to do early and late evening drop-ins if your pet ever needs it! Just let me know what you need! Your pet will be treated with nothing but love and respect :) Let me know whatever they need to keep them comfortable and happy - their routines, their favorite toys, etc. I'd be happy to take them on as many walks and give as many snuggles as needed to keep them happy with you're away! I also make sure to send updates and images for every visit!

“Heidi has been a blessing to have help with my Heeler. My dog loves her and loves her daily walks. Thanks for the help Heidi.”


About: I have been caring for all kinds of pets since I was 5. I am comfortable giving any medications for your pets health. My family has experience from working in vets and I have learned how to effectively care for all breeds. I work in the CMCSS school district, currently on summer break and would love to care for your fur babies. I am always available and flexible whenever I am needed. I will be respectful to your wishes on how you would like me to pamper your baby. I will follow your guidelines to the best of my abilities and any additional services they require.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and absolutely love them! I grew up in a home full of pets and was always surrounded by animals. I’d play with them, care for them, and make sure they felt loved and safe. I now have two puppies of my own—one I’ve raised since she was just six weeks old, and the other I adopted from a shelter at six months. Throughout my life, I’ve also dog-sat for family and friends, caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments—including senior dogs who need a little extra love and attention. These experiences have taught me how to care for animals with patience, love, and responsibility. I’m excited for the opportunity to care for your pets like they’re one of my own! Pet care is something I naturally make time for in my daily routine because animals have always been an important part of my life. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just spending quality time with them, I always prioritize their well-being and comfort. I understand that every pet has their own needs and routines, and I’ll take the time to make sure those are followed closely. No matter how busy my schedule may be, I’ll always make sure your pet is cared for with attention, love, and patience—just like I do with my own. At home, my two puppies are kenneled when I’m not able to supervise them, since they’re still learning and not quite ready to be left out on their own. I always try to keep their kennel time as short as possible, and if I’m going somewhere they can come along—like running out to grab food—I bring them with me. Since they’re both high-energy and super active, I make sure they get plenty of playtime and exercise. We spend time outside running around, playing ball, and just burning off that puppy energy to keep them happy and healthy.


About: Hello pet parents. My name is Kim and I live in Chandler, AZ. I used to work for the company "Fetch" but when the owner decided to retire, I decided that I loved my job too much to give it up. I just love animals too much to not keep working as a pet sitter. I was born and raised with all types of animals - dogs, cats, fish, snakes, hamsters and lizards, so I really do not have a fear of any type of animal. I currently have two English bulldogs and three cats which is the unfortunate reason I can't watch any pets in home, other than caged pets. Go bully breeds. I have watched fish, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats and rabbits. The biggest dog I have watched so far has been a doberman pinscher and the smallest has been a miniature pinscher. I have watched cats, one of which required medication administration. I was able to create a routine for this cat that he was comfortable and willing took the medication. Really, when it comes down to it, I love all animals and I love my job. I often say that if I won the lottery, I would still do my job, but for free. I am hoping to care for that I do not have in my home. Variety is the spice of life. Thank you for taking the time to read over my profile today. I hope to hear from you soon.

About: I have had pets my whole life ranging to small dogs to Irish wolfhound dogs, to hedgehogs and guinea pigs! However, I started taking care of other peoples pets when I was 12 years old. What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing personalized care. I take the time to understand each dog's unique personality and needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and happy in their home when the rest of their home is away. With a focus on fun activities, regular exercise, and plenty of cuddles, I create a nurturing environment where pets can thrive. Plus, I offer daily updates and photos to keep pet owners connected with their fur babies while they're away if this is something the owner would prefer! With my experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals, you can trust that your pets will receive the best care and attention making their time with me enjoyable and stress free. I am 19 and currently a full time college student. I am free for any day until August 25th. Once it Is August 25th I am able to provide care any time after 4 PM on the week days. On the weekends I will be free and my time schedule will range from early in the morning till late at night! I will not be offering any care based out of my home because I am a college student in an apartment where animals are not allowed. However, in clients homes As a pet caregiver, I take pride in providing exceptional care for other people's pets right in their own homes. I understand that being in a familiar environment is important for pets, so I focus on maintaining their routines and comfort. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime, I tailor my services to meet each pet's specific needs. I also ensure they receive plenty of love and attention, helping to ease any anxiety they might feel in their owner's absence. With regular check-ins and updates for the pet owners, I strive to create a seamless experience that keeps both pets and their families happy and stress-free. I prefer a strict schedule that is written down or texted to me so I am aware of anything that the pet needs or so we can cross off every goal together. It is important to me to have trust with the pet before hand so if you are comfortable with meeting prior with the pet, I enjoy doing that to ensure a safe trusting connection for me and the pet. Thank you!

“Hailey was incredible! She came to my house to take my baby out for potty breaks while I was away and treated him like her own. Super reliable, caring, and thoughtful—highly recommend!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


About: As a youngster I can remember having all types of animals. Dogs,cats,chickens,horses and donkeys. As a child my parents always made sure we had a pet. I am currently retired so I have plenty of time on my hands. They would be walked ,fed,watered and treated as my own. Whether it be for a simple walk to time playing in a secured park they would be treated as my own. I am currently retired. I am able to give my all to clients and their pets. Your fur baby will be safe with me. Thanks I have a fenced in yard and doggie door for my 3 senior fur kids. They have the run of the house. My couch potatoes.

About: I have taken care of many Animals throughout my young and adult life. Your pets are treated as my own. Well trusted and completely dependable I am retired from factory after 22 years. I have a lot of open availability and enjoy animals. So anytime is workable for me please I will do what is asked of me when it comes to what clients prefer for care in their home. Will respect clients wishes and home

About: There has never been a moment in my life when I have lived without animals. I have the biggest heart for animals and I will care for them as if they are my own. I have experience caring for all kinds of animals of all ages and sizes. I also have experience administering medication to animals, such as eye drops and pills. If your pet has struggles getting comfortable with new people, I have no problem taking the time and doing everything that is necessary to help them feel comfortable and at ease with my presence because I would never want to cause any stress or anxiety for them or you. I am currently in nursing school so Monday mornings, as well as most of the day on Tuesdays and Wednesdays I am unavailable as I will be in classes! Monday and Wednesday mornings i'm unavailable (sometimes this changes so feel free to ask), and Tuesdays I am unavailable until after 5pm! Thursdays and Fridays I am pretty open if I don't have an exam, but I will be sure to communicate this & it's normally only 2 hours out of the day that I am unavailable! In your home, I understand that is your animals territory and give plenty of time and space to get them comfortable with me and my scent before seeming like i’m imposing or intruding uninvited. I treat everyone’s home how I would want my home treated and leave everything just as good, if not better then when I arrived.

“Ayla was a wonderful sitter and walker! She even brought an extra food bowl for my pup when I told her I only had his water bowl! She was attentive, on time and lovely to work with! Thank you Ayla??”


About: What truly sets me apart is not just my love for dogs, but the hands-on experience I have caring for a wide range of breeds and personalities. I currently have three dogs of my own a sweet 8-year-old Chihuahua-Yorkie mix who is our spoiled little baby, a very energetic Shih Tzu who keeps me on my toes, and a gentle giant of a German Shepherd who’s just a big cuddly lovebug. Because of them, I have real-life experience managing everything from small, senior pups to large, high-energy breeds. I’m especially patient with hyper dogs I know how to keep them active, happy, and well-behaved. Whether it’s caring for older dogs who need extra love or keeping up with pups who never seem to run out of energy, I genuinely enjoy every moment of it. I treat every dog like family and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. You can trust that your furry friend will be in caring and capable hands! I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which means I get to choose the shifts that work best for me. This allows me to easily plan around pet sitting needs. As long as I’m given a little notice, I can adjust my work hours to fit your schedule whether that’s for regular check-ins, overnight care, or last-minute plans. You can feel confident that your pet will get the attention and care they deserve without any conflicts. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it by using leashes and taking pets on regular walks around my neighborhood or to nearby parks. I enjoy being active and love spending time outdoors with the dogs, giving them plenty of exercise and enrichment. My own dogs are very friendly and would love the extra company, which helps create a warm and welcoming environment for any visiting pets. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for whether they’re staying in my home or I'm visiting them in theirs.

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets throughout my adult life. When I decided to stay home fulltime I wanted to do something that I love. I have always been a care giver and by pet sitting I can be around your fur babies and help you worry less while you are away. We live in an older established neighborhood with lots of space to play. We also have a newly fenced in shady area for supervised play time. We currently have a 2yr. Male neutered Boxer named Governor. Since I'm home fulltime I can provide the attention and care that your pet needs. I'm able to work with your pet if you have a training program or other special needs when I'm caring for your fur baby. I have always cared for friends and neighbors pets in their home and mine. I do require that your pet be crated trained but they will only be crated at night and if I have to leave home for an appointment or errand. Your pet will get plenty of outside playtime ( weather permitting) and potty breaks. Playtime will be adjusted for your pets specific needs. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies. I stay at home full-time this will allow me to provide the care and attention to your pet that they need. We will have outside playtime and potty breaks every couple of hours or as needed weather permitting. Your pet will be crated if I have to leave home. I'm usually not gone more than 2 hours. We follow the care instructions and schedules set by our pet parents. We provide supervised playtime and can rotate pets in and out of the fences area as needed. We crate pets durin anytime they can't be supervised to protect them from harm. All boarded pets must be crate trained. We have a 2 year old male neutered Boxer in our home who loves to play. He goes out often and loves to play and lay in the sun. We clean and sanitize daily or more if needed. I can administer oral or topical medication.
