“Daniel was prompt and our dog took to him right away. He understood our dogs needs and was confident he could manage without hesitation. You can see he genuinely cares for animals and we look forward to working with him again!”


“Felicia has been walking my dog Stanley for a roughly two months now. I have zero complaints, she always provides pictures and potty break updates. I don’t have her watching my cat but she gives me updates on him as well when she sees him which is greatly appreciated. I can’t say how much having her walk Stanley has helped me too, if you are debating getting a dog walker I would definitely recommend Felicia.”


“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!”


“Our Buffy girl got the pleasure of going on a walk with Christina. She was phenomenal! She was so sweet and patient. She seems very knowledgeable regarding canine behavior. She even helped with some training we’re working on! Can’t wait for their next walk!”


“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.”

About: Hi there! I’m a proud U.S. Navy veteran with 7 years of service. I’m now a full-time nursing student with a flexible schedule—perfect for meeting your pet’s needs, whether it’s a walk, playtime, or some extra TLC. I absolutely love animals and have lots of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. While dogs are my specialty, I’m excited and open to learning more about other animals too! I’m dependable, caring, and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. Give me a chance—you won’t regret it! 🐾 As a full-time nursing student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I attend in-person classes only on Wednesday 4-9pm and Thursdays from 6–9 PM, so I’m available most mornings, afternoons, and even weekends to care for your pet. I will make sure that the items at the place of care are guarded. Weather it be taking down vases and pots or securing your floor with training pads. Just let me know of any specific requests you may have and I’m on it.

“Molly is superb as always! She’s my go-to dog sitter! I never worry when she’s with my babies”


“Brian is fantastic. My dog Tank is the love of my life but a lot to handle. As challenging as taking care of him is, Brian had no issues. Tank loves him.”


About: I have cared for up to 5 dogs at a time for family. Which included multiple walks during the day & multiple feedings. I will do my best to be attentive to your animals needs. I work part time as a massage therapist, so I have a lot of extra time on my hands to spend time & care for your fur babies!:) I have a very independent indoor/ outdoor cat so she comes & goes as she pleases. But also makes me miss having more affectionate animals around. Whatever your fur baby needs I am willing to tend to.


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. In my current set-up, it is not feasible for me to look after dogs in my home due to space and not having a backyard. With this being said, I am looking to still take care of your pup! I will treat your dog as if it was my own. I would be happy to walk your dogs or come stay at your home to look after them. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me to ask me any questions! I am very flexible and willing to make sure that all your needs/wants are met for your precious fur baby.

About: I’ve grown up with pets and have always been the go to sitter for friends and family. I may not have formal experience yet, but I’m reliable, compassionate, and I truly enjoy caring for animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs and personality so they feel safe and loved. I am most experienced with dogs! I’m currently working full time so I’m available Wednesday through Friday every week, and every other Saturday. I work Sunday through Tuesday and every other Saturday so I’m unavailable on those days. I’m happy to offer morning, afternoon, or evening visits on the days I’m off and can be flexible with advance notice! I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment for pets in my care. I live in a small apartment and have a friendly small dog who gets along well with other pups. Because of my space and my current pet, I’m best suited for small sized dogs and even medium sized dogs who are comfortable in a smaller setting and around other dogs. I’m not able to accommodate larger dogs in my home at this time. I always supervise interactions to ensure everyone stays safe and happy. Pets in my care get plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I treat every pet like family and do my best to follow their routine to help them feel at home.

“I got Shannon to walk Bruno when my regular walker’s schedule changed and she has been great and reliable. I get pictures, updates and all instructions followed.”


“Michelle is friendly and patient, completely understanding, and my dog Sadie did great with her!”


“Lily was great with Duke! She took him on a walk to the field where she played fetch with him. She was punctual and good with communication. She went above and beyond my expectations and we will definitely be booking again the future, Thank you!”


“What a fabulous provider. Very caring, responsive, and attentive. Highly recommend Nicole to care for your pet.”


“Shanea was great. Always on time and spent the whole 1/2 hr with my dog. She was super nice and I will definitely use her again!”


About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and I love animals more than anything. I love getting to know each animal I meet or take care of and getting to know them individually. I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was 10 years old and have experience with animals of all ages and needs. I also volunteer at my local animal shelter. I am happy to take care of your pets! I currently work part time as I am a college student home for the summer. I do not work every day but my schedule does change week to week. However, I am very flexible and can adjust my work schedule to accommodate your pets needs. I believe in a strong level of communication between owner and sitter. I do not want you to have anything to worry about when your dog or cat is in my care so I ask that I am given all the necessary information so that I can truly care for your animal. I respect owners rules and wishes.

About: I love all animals, but especially dogs & cats. I have cared for my own and others for the last 30 years. I am extremely diligent in their care. Cats will never have a dirty litter box. Dogs will be unconditionally love, walked, played with, fed on their schedule and whatever else they need. I guarantee they will be spoiled in a good way! I live in Tempe Arizona. I love to spend my time caring for your pets (aka: "children"). I am available Sunday thru Saturday to provide overnight pet sitting in your home. I can assure you your pets will be deeply cared for during my stay with them. They will be loved and well attended to at all times. Safety will be the utmost priority and your pets will be watched over very carefully to keep them safe.

Liam M.
“I hired Liam to house-sit and take care of my two cats and elderly golden retriever over winter break, and I couldn’t have been more impressed. He was always on time, sent regular updates and photos, and followed every instruction I left perfectly including administering meds to my dog each morning. When a snow storm hit our house one night, Liam stayed calm, made sure the pets were safe, and even contacted me to reassure me everything was under control. He left the house spotless and the pets happy. Liam is responsible, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. I’d trust him again in a heartbeat.”

Optimist Park Se dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sofia has been fabulous walking all of my 3 dogs after my surgery. I highly recommend her! Most importantly, she is extremely reliable.

Alan was amazing with my dog Sandor, he gave him lots of good attention and pets before and after their walk. This is the first time I've ever had a dog walker, and Alan made the whole process very smooth and helped me have confidence that my dog would be well taken care of on his walks. Alan also went above and beyond what I expected and replaced the roll of bags after they ran out, so that I wouldn't have to do it the next time I took Sandor out. That really was a small thing that went a long way for me. I'm excited to keep having Alan walk Sandor.

We were sitting for my cousins golden doodle, who was too too much of a strong puller for us to walk. Hailey was the perfect match and she was prompt with a smile for every walk.

This is my second booking with Vanessa and she is just as wonderful as the first time! My pup loves the walks and I enjoy the photos I receive. Very reliable!

My pup loves Deborah! Arya is 80 lbs rescue with high anxiety. Deborah does amazing with her. Thank you 🫶🏻🐶

Preeti was great with Rocky and sent photo updates as well. Great communication, and I would definitely hire her again. 😊

Brian has been wonderful with Frankie. She has enjoyed every minute of her weekly walks with him. She has had great fun showing him her neighborhood and her many "tricks". However, the time has come for her to say "goodbye", as she has completed her time. I highly recommend Brian to all. Your pets will love him. Diane
