About: For over 10 years, I’ve volunteered with the Arizona Animal Welfare League, working hands-on with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. That experience has given me the patience, awareness, and confidence to care for pets with a wide range of needs — from energetic walkers to shy or senior companions. I’m known for being reliable, communicative, and attentive, and I treat every home with the same care and respect I give my own. I’m a reliable early riser and love starting the day with morning walks, but I also offer midday and evening drop-in visits. Each visit is thoughtful and unrushed, focused on your pet’s comfort, routine, and well-being. While I don’t offer in-home boarding, I do provide pet sitting in your home, along with walks and drop-in care. I take great care to follow your pet’s established routines and to respect your home as if it were my own.
“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: 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'm great with house sitting 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.
About: I have trained puppies, taken care of senior dogs and have lots of patience. Animals of all kinds adore me and come up to me all the time. I’m a full-time dog care provider who truly loves what I do. Dogs are a huge part of my life, and I’ve chosen to dedicate my time to making sure they are safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure every dog feels comfortable and loved. You can relax knowing your dog is in caring and dependable hands. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is happy and doing well. I have a huge fenced in patio and I have purified water for the animals. I have everything scotch guarded so any mess doesn’t matter.
“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!”
About: I use to dog sit a couple of dogs last year when I lived in California it was an amazing experience!! I want to do it again. I’m doing online classes and that only take about 4 hours of my day. So the rest of the hours can go to your furbabyies! All my animals very cared for well feed well played with and all have their shots. The environment is safe for cats and dogs no candles plants or sharp objects in sight.
“I booked Daniel to take my 18 month old pitbull Maggie for daily walks. We have finished our first week and everything went splendidly. We are working on desensitizing Maggie to normal every day. Sounds and Daniel has been a great help in understanding the mission and moving towards success, I have him booked on an ongoing basis. Maggie is becoming more comfortable with him and I feel we will ultimately reach our goal.”

About: I love all sorts of animals, but I especially love dogs. I have several years of experience of dog sitting at my home and I own two dogs myself.

I got a very quick reply to my request, than a meet and greet that went very well (my kind of shy little dog took right to him), friendly service, and great communication! He let me know when he was arriving and departing for the dog walk visit, and sent me a photo. I will happily request Kaiser again if needed, and I would recommend him to others.
Crystal was absolutely fantastic with my two rescue dogs who aren’t easy to deal with! Between my anxiety of leaving them with someone new and each of their quirks, Crystal was patient, responsive and caring during the entire process. Socks one of my rescues usually takes multiple times to acclimate to someone new but she took to Crystal right away. I use her services at least once a week when I have to go to Sedona for the day for work. The best part is I have no stress know she’s taking care of them, thank you Crystal!
Emily is by far our first choice when we needed a dog walker. She is prompt, reliable, trustworthy, and will update me when I'm out of town which is always comforting. I love how Emily pays attention to detail. I would highly recommend Emily and her pet sitting services to all my friends and family.
Alexandria truly came through for me in a pinch, stepping up last minute with professionalism, grace, and genuine care. From the moment she arrived on time and asked all the right questions, I knew my dog was in good hands. Most importantly, my dog immediately connected with her — something you just can’t fake — and that trust put me at ease right away. Though she had a full plate, she even rearranged her schedule and enlisted her boyfriend to assist with walks, simply to help me out. She’s not only reliable and respectful of instructions, but she’s also someone who leads with heart — and both my dog and I felt that from day one.
