“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.”

“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!”

Shantia M.

“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!”

“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.”

Terri S.

“Madi is amazing! Very prompt, responsible, thorough, and caring with our dog. Very happy to have found such a great sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: I have had the ability to have 2 small shelter rescue dogs, Neptune and Apollo. Neptune is no longer with us, but he and Apollo were both well trained and loved life. I have grown up around dogs and dog sat for several family members and friends in the past. I will make sure your dog is having fun and loving life when they are with me. I am currently a college student and have a very flexible schedual with most afternoon and evenings available along with the weekends. I do attend church for 2 hours on Sunday, but other than that I can be with your pet all weekend long. I check water bowls every hour and set alarms on my phone to make sure I never miss feeding time or medication. I play with your pets and take them on long walks when it is safe temperature wise to do so. Any medical concern will be run by the pet parent first unless a dire emergency arises, in which I will need preference(s) for vet(s) in the area listed ahead of time.

About: We got our family dog when I was 3! I loved taking her on long walks/bike rides and brushing her hair in the spring. Throughout high school and college, I dog sat for neighbors, family and friends. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I work full time with occasional on call hours, but my typical hours end around 2:30pm, giving me plenty of time to spend my afternoon/evening looking after your critters. I do not work weekends, and would love to spend them with a furry friend. In my own home, I like to joke that my cats can tell time because they have a strict routine. I feed and change their water at the same time each day, and they let me know when I’m late, even by 10 minutes! I am diligent about cleaning their litter each day and mar sure they get enough love once all the household chores are done!

About: I have had pets my whole life with a dog being the consistent. Ive had dogs of all sizes and personalities. I feel great care for the animals & have a lot of love to give them. Right now my schedule is all over the place & so to the individual we can make a plan that works through good open communication (: Can give pets a bath & good brushing i don't perform any grooming beyond that. Love to make sure the dog gets enough loving and activeness that fits their personal breed & personality.

About: I know how scary it is to entrust others with your pets, especially if you are like me and have an anxious/reactive pet. I volunteer with a local shelter, and they've taught me so much when it comes to minimizing stress in animals as much as possible. I will treat your pets like I treat my own, with a focus on comfort, reducing stress, and respecting boundaries in what your pet might find to be a new or scary situation. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule, so any time not spent with my own pets or volunteering at the animal shelter I can dedicate to caring for your pet! I have a fenced yard, dog crates, and even a dedicated "pet room" in my home. I also like to use the vertical space for my cats and give them lots of shelving and perches for them to climb and view the windows.

“Kelsey was great. She took time for a meet & greet, sent pictures while I was away, and my dog, Poppy, liked her from the start. ?”

About: *****I AM BACK!***** 🐾 A Little About My Current Setup I’m back to offering dog sitting in my home! After moving to Tempe, I’m now accepting a limited number of dogs at a time—typically just 1–2 pups per stay. This allows me to give each dog plenty of individual attention, love, exercise, and supervision while you’re away. I have a nice, green grassy backyard with a pool, and pups are always supervised while outside—I don’t use a dog door because I believe dogs should be watched whenever they’re outdoors. We also have a beautiful lake in the neighborhood that is exactly one mile around, making it a great spot for morning or evening walks when the weather permits. 🐾🌿🌅 I’m offering boarding on a more occasional, limited-availability basis, but I’m excited to welcome back some of my previous Rover clients and meet some new furry friends! 🐶💕 🐾 💕 I have owned dogs my whole life! I have over ten years of dog sitting experience! You will feel comfortable leaving your dog in my home. I will keep your pup/s active, happy, and safe! Depending on your dog’s personality and needs, we go for walks mornings and nights, for younger more energetic dogs I will take them on a decent paced two to three mile run, and lots of fetch and tug-of-war! If you pup doesn’t mind a short car ride, we will take with us to the park! For more mellow pups, I also offer cuddle time, brushing, and just relaxing company. My goal is to make sure every dog has fun and feels loved while you’re away. Daily pictures and updates of your dog! ***Please disregard photo percentage rate…I send multiple photos daily! Some of my clients requests them to be sent via text message vs the app and I try to accommodate all requests! ***Please ask me about discounts for extended stays! I am available seven days a week for your dog! Stay at home mom to a three, thirteen, and fourteen year old, so lots of pup play and attention! Your pup will get plenty of love and activity throughout the days and evenings! I have a gorgeous grass fenced yard! No carpet so they have access to entire house! I am able to crate and accommodate most request!

About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long I can remember! Whether that be friends, family, or a stray I’ve always treated them as my own. My two pups are my everything and I understand the stress of leaving your pets with a stranger, so if you have any questions for me I’d be more than happy to answer! ❤️ I’m currently working part time normally during the weekends as a with shifts no longer than 8hrs so I’ll have plenty of time and wiggle room for your babies. Safety and trust is the most important thing and what I value most! If there is any special request or anything your furry friend needs I can do it!

About: I have had a dog since I was a child and have cared for all types of dogs, from a mini dachshund to a great dane mix. I have experience with shelters dogs, dogs with anxiety, and service dogs. I currently work from home and do not have a set schedule. I do have family dinners sunday nights and am typically gone around 4 hours but otherwise, I am typically only gone an hour or so every few days. I live in an apartment but love taking the dogs out on long walks every few hours. I have a retired service dog who will keep your dog company.

I have a part time job but rarely work there due to personal reasons. I spoil my dogs and treat them as if they were my own kids. I take time in learning what they enjoy, and their routine to not upset them.

About: Whether your pooch just needs a pal to hang out with while you’re at the office, a stroll around the neighborhood to burn off some energy, or just a quick visit for food/bathroom relief, I’m happy to help! My family consists of two 65lb+ Shepard mixes that were both adopted from fosters, and an elderly tiger cat that was originally found as a stray. Each of our fur babies came with some behavioral baggage, so I have experience handling reactive and/or sensitive pups. I am located in southern Tempe and don’t have an office 9-5 type job, so my schedule is usually quite flexible. Thanks for the consideration! Please reach out with any questions! I have a very flexible schedule during week days. Week nights and weekends are occasionally available as well, please check my schedule or send me a message with any questions! I have a fully enclosed backyard with turf and a pool. However, one of our pooches is still working on her manners towards other dogs, so I’m not offering services in my home at this time.

About: Calm, Low-Dog Home with Personalized Care Hi I'm Nicole! I’m an experienced dog foster mom with 38+ years of pet care experience, specializing in dogs who need a little extra patience, attention, or understanding. What makes our home different: -No dogs + no kids in the home Your dog gets undivided attention in a calm, low-stress environment—perfect for anxious, reactive, or older dogs. -Low capacity = high care I only take up to 3 dogs at a time, so your dog isn’t lost in a crowd. Every dog gets the attention, love, and support they deserve. -Solo stays available If your dog doesn’t do well with others, I can accommodate solo bookings for a more comfortable experience. -Safe, secure space We have a fully enclosed 8-ft cinder block yard with a doggy door so dogs can go in and out freely (or we can support structured potty training if needed). -Experienced with all temperaments I’ve worked with dogs who have experienced trauma, fear, or abuse, and I meet every dog with patience and care. -Flexible, always-home care I work from home and run my own businesses, so your dog is rarely left alone and gets consistent supervision and companionship. Daily updates You’ll receive photos/videos every day so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and loved. Extra peace of mind I hold a Level 1 Fingerprint Clearance Card (Arizona), meaning I’ve passed a rigorous background check for safety and trust.

We maintain various dog toys, 5 minute access to a dog park and provide regular walks depending on individual dogs needs and energy levels.

About: I'm a former certified veterinary technician (12 years) and adoption counselor for the AZ humane society with a passion for animals of all shapes and sizes. Your pets will be in good hands with me and my two sons, don't worry, extra snuggles are always included. I work from home Monday through Friday making it extremely easy to keep a close eye on your fur babies and give plenty of potty breaks. There's a fenced dog park right next to my apartment that's actually inside our complex. We have plenty of other friendly dog buddies in our complex if that's something that's preferred as well as our own friendly cat in our home.

About: Ever since I was a kid ive always had dogs in my care. Ranging from the smallest to the largest of furry friends. Ive been a reliable person for many people in my life from family,friends,neighbors and even regulars! I clean up dogs poop, help groom, help with medications, walk and will accommodate as much as possible to their schedule/ routine! I currently work Mon-Fri 8-330 ( I am a teacher!) but have holiday weeks off and weekend availability along with all of summer availability. Times before and after work I will also be available! If i am watching your pet, I have a fully fenced yard in fact 2 sections of the yard are fenced away from each other. My house is a large with 4 bedrooms so there will be plenty of room to run!

About: I am a very patient, compassionate animal lover with more than 25 years of personal pet ownership and sitting experience (both dogs & cats). I have 10 years of rescue engagement where I fostered 100+ animals that included care for sick, injured, scared, and skittish animals. I fed, walked, groomed, healed/trained the animals and provided medication as well as support for vet visits. I evaluated potential adopters and coordinated placements into the most ideal permanent homes. I also have experience (and a very big soft spot) for senior and disabled animals that need additional care and support. I am comfortable with providing required medication such as topicals, eye drops, oral chemo, CBD, etc., and any care that requires diapers, wheelchairs or other types of medical support. I recently moved to Arizona from Washington to be closer to aging parents. I do not currently work and my schedule is extremely flexible. I am open to weekends and holidays, sitting at my place or at the clients home. I do occassionally travel but that will be noted on the Rover calendar as needed. The safety and security of the animal and the clients home is priority #1 for me. I have high situational awareness (at home or in public spaces) that is always focused on the well being of the pet. I currently have one Chiweenie that lives elsewhere, so pets staying at my house would have full run of the kitchen, living room and bedroom (with them never out of sight). There is access to a fully fenced yard from both the living room and the bedroom. They are welcome to sit on the couch if that is their preference. Also, sharing the bed here is totally fine. The typical home ambience is quiet and calm.

“Zack was on time and communicated when he arrived to walk Lily. He was kind enough to send pictures of her. Very professional and I appreciated that he took the time to meet with me before walking her. Will definitely go to him for more walks and drop in services!”
