“Sara was amazing with my boy, Nox. Despite needing to make a few modifications to the booking because of unexpected work plans, I am grateful Sara was able to accomodate my schedule changes. She had great communication and would update me with photos regularly. It gave me total piece of mind that my dog was in good hands. I'd be happy work with Sara again in the future.”

About: Having 2 doxies trained me to be patient and to dispense all the love and attention they need (it's a lot:) I simply love to cuddle up with a pup or play if they're in the mood. I have a lifetime of cat experience and raised 2 mini dachshunds ( lost in divorce) whom I worshipped! I have many repeat house sitting jobs, and will treat your pet like they are my own. In your home, I will follow directions to the letter and leave your house as it was when I arrived. Warning...your pet may be spoiled:) I have cared for elderly dogs & puppies! I love cats as well, and used to socialize kitties at the Humane Society.

“Kylee is wonderful. She sends lots of pictures during our doggos walks and she is very communicative. We are have scheduled weekly with her!”

“Showed up earlier then promised walked the dogs and stayed with them for a little so they wouldn't be in their crate all day. Again thank you for caring for our pups. Definitely will use you again.”

“Kathleen’s communication was great, she was timely and sent wonderful pictures from the walk! She was prompt in responding to our walk request and very kind! Would definitely use Kathleen again!”

About: If you're looking for someone to care for your dog as if they were their own, I'm the person you want. I absolutely love dogs and after losing my sweet girl Kenya after 12 short years, I have so much love to give. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always trained them myself. I stay consistent and patient when teaching new commands or tricks, and of course, I always have treats by my side. Since moving to Arizona 10 years ago, I’ve rescued over 25 dogs off the street and helped them find new homes. I've recently retired early and I'm looking to integrate pet care into my daily routine. I like to stay active and would love to spend more time walking, playing with, and caring for dogs. I am happy to brighten a dogs day and to make a positive impact on the lives of others' furry friends. I am available for walking and in-home visits. Depending on your needs (or the dogs) I can offer a leisurely stroll with lots of stops for smelling or quicker paced walking or even jogging to get that energy out. I am also happy to administer care with provided instructions. I can be avaibale as a cuddly companion to your dog or a fun playing partner. I am also happy to help keep their brains stimulated with some beginer training sessions-some of my favorites to teach are "spin," "search" and "touch". Feel free to ask me what you need help with and I can give you an answer. I care for each dog like they are my own, I genuinely would love to care for yours.

“Alan is amazing. He is always on time and sends us multiple pictures of his walks with my two dogs along with a summary. Will definitely rebook him again in the future.”

“I can’t begin to explain how nice it is to have found a dog sitter I trust. Kelly was professional and adhered to all of my specific requirements I have for my pups- she was communicative (big need for me) and safe. I sometimes have a stray dogs in the neighborhood and need her to stay alert and go in the opposite direction or even pick up my dog if safety becomes an issue. She alerted me of the stray and prioritized my dog’s safety. Amazing!”

“Vicki was great with my very shy dog. She came for a meet and greet to make sure my dog would recognize her. She was communicative and punctual, and I appreciated the picture she included. I highly recommend her and plan on using her again!”

About: I grew up in a home that always had multiple animals. As an adult I opted for the ease of a cat companion. So I have never lived in a house without at least a dog or a cat. I have provided multiple pet services for friends, neighbors, and aquaintances including pet sitting, dog walking, drop-ins, and even picking up dog poo. I have experience in medication and emergency vet visits. I work mostly remote and some days go out on work appointments. Due to Arizona heat I can do walks from 7-9 AM and 6-8 PM. Drop-ins, I can do 7-10 and 3-9. I will speak to you about your pets normal day of activities. I follow the set feeding schedule and serve only owner approved pet food.

“Kiara is very communicative with a great positive attitude!”

About: I grew up with a brindle boxer who was truly part of my family, and losing her a couple years ago was one of the hardest things I’ve gone through. Since then, I’ve been fostering dogs through the Humane Society, everything from shy rescues to energetic puppies. Ive fostered dogs that had kennel cough to dogs that needed to gain weight after being rescued from horrible conditions. Fostering taught me how to handle different personalities, build trust with nervous dogs, and give each pet the patience and love they need. Caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I bring that same level of attention and compassion to every pet I watch. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine. I’m available most days and fully flexible, I'm pursuing a degree and have class Tuesday and Thursday from 9am–12pm, but I’m available the rest of the day and all other days of the week. This gives me a very flexible schedule for walks, drop‑ins, and house sitting. I plan my day around pet care, so your dog always gets consistent attention, timely visits, and plenty of love. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I follow all instructions exactly, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure your dog is never put in an unsafe situation. I’m calm, patient, and experienced with foster dogs, so I know how to handle different personalities and energy levels. I always double‑check leashes, harnesses, and feeding routines, and I keep a close eye on your pet during every visit. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kristen was amazing with Sterling! She was kind, communicative, and totally in tune with his quirks. I loved getting photo updates, and it was clear she treated him like her own. He came back happy and relaxed. I’d book her again in a heartbeat!”

About: Greetings fellow dog lover! I have been taking care of dogs since I was 6 years old and will love and care for yours like my own while you are away at work or running errands during your busy day. I will pay special attention to their preferences (and yours) for all drop-ins, day care needs, and walks, and will be sure your pups are as happy as they can be! I have special experience with Beagles, Pitties, German Shepherds, sighthounds in general, and herding dogs such as Border Collies, but love all breeds and sizes. I am also very flexible and understanding of the modern schedule, so if you need to cancel, it's no worries! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am able to work around your schedule and make sure your pup has the attention they deserve. My backyard is fenced, turfed, completely shaded, and has a mister fan. I also have a dog door and the back gate is always closed and locked. Inside is all tile and dogs are allowed up on the couch if they are allowed at home.

“Christian was amazing! She did exactly what I asked her to do with no issues. She respected my home when I wasn’t there and I would recommend her to anyone with fur babies!”

“Audrey was amazing taking care of our dogs while we were away on a trip! She was super flexible and accommodating which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend her for any pet care :)”
