1. Felicia P.

“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.”


2. Vicki H.

“Vicki is absolutely amazing! We booked her dog walking services for 3x/week. She is always punctual and a wonderful communicator. She is easy to talk to and takes great care of our dog. I could not be any happier with her services and am so thankful we found her!”


3. Hailey L.


“My dog is so lucky we found Hailey!”


4. Briana B.

“Having Briana watch my two senior, special needs cats (both are on different prescription diets), as well as a leopard gecko, and 30+ houseplants allowed me to leave for my month-long trip with no worries. She provided regular check-ins with photos, which was comforting while I was away for so long, and also kept me up-to date how everyone was doing/what shenanigans they were up to. She kept them safe, socialized, and there was no trace of any of the accidents she informed me of when I got back. It's exactly what puts my mind at ease when I'm away from them. She even brought my attention to a skin concern on my male cat I was previously unaware of so that I could arrange for a vet visit when I got back. I know my babies are in good hands with Briana, and will not hesitate to book her again!”


5. Daniel F.

“My dog isn’t the easiest to get out the first try because he is so scared with new people. Daniel got him out and stuck with it which I’m so thankful! I’ll continue to ask for his help when I need it.”


6. Loren (Lori) C.
“I hired Lori for an in home, 2 week period, to care for my Anatolian Shepherd (165 lbs.), my German Shepherd puppy (55 lbs) and my 3 indoor cats. This was my first experience using Lori. I am very particular about the care of my four-legged kids. Lori and I met 3 times prior to her staying at my home, to review the walking schedule, places to go, and all things home and dog / cat related. Lori took notes and pictures, and asked questions as we went along, reviewing everything. It was obvious she paid great attention to detail and showed a great deal of responsibility. When she met my dogs, they took to her right away. I was especially surprised at my German Shepherd. She is scared of everyone in the house, but not Lori. She warmed right up to her. When I left for my trip I felt comfortable she would take great care of my kids. While I was away, I was provided with periodic updates and photos. The communication was excellent. In the photos my dogs looked very relaxed and comfortable. When I returned home, everything in my home was clean and in good order. Sheets and towels washed and folded. All dishes clean etc. Today I took my dogs for their morning walk and met 3 of my neighbors. They all commented on what a wonderful job Lori did with my dogs. "She's Awesome" was a quote from one of my neighbors. Lori has been a great find. I'm happy, my dogs and cats are happy, and my neighbors are all happy with the care she gave to my kids. I am headed out again in December and have already rebooked Lori to take care of my home, dogs and cats. I have used other sitters in the past. they do not compare to the quality of care and professionalism I received from Lori. If you are headed out of town, book Lori. You will not be disappointed, and your four-legged kids will be spoiled rotten! :-)”


7. Destynee N.
“Destynee is great! She is a very caring and a loving person. She house sat for our (3) dogs while we were vacationing. One of them, Raja, is not friendly with other people. But with Destynee, he is super friendly, which in itself is a miracle. I believe this is because she has this calming effect on others. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pets and your home are well cared for. Thank you Destynee for caring for our puppies! You are a very kind and warm spirit, look forward to the next vacation knowing they are in good hands. Thank you!”


8. Alan G.

“Alan has walked our dog several times, he always sends pictures and updates. Our dog has extra needs and Alan is great with her! We trust him more than any other dog walker we’ve ever used!”


9. Molly G.


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


10. Brian S.

“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.”


11. Lindy P.
“Lindy was absolutely wonderful while taking care of Hydra for me while I was out of town. She was walked, played with, and fed. Very friendly and would definitely have her again!”


12. Olivia M.

About: Hi, I’m Olivia! I am a physical therapist, avid dog lover, and dog mom of two 🙂 I understand how important it is for owners to trust that their dog will be in good hands while away, so I promise to treat yours with the love and care that they deserve. I have an unconditional love for dogs and I have provided care for different dog breeds/sizes/needs for years. I have two dogs of my own, Niko and Sully — they are both playful friendly boys and love having other buddies to play with! I am usually flexible with bookings and can often accommodate last-minute requests. If you have any other questions or would like to set up a meet & greet, please feel free to message me. I’d love to help out in any way that I can! I work full time as a physical therapist and my schedule does vary at times, but I will discuss my current schedule and availability with you before each booking I live in a home located in Mesa, where we have a spacious enclosed yard, with nearby trails and several dog parks in the area.


13. Shannon L.

“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.”


14. Melesia "Mel" W.


“Mel began walking our dogs recently and we couldn’t be happier. She is punctual, professional, and very detailed oriented. Her primary concern is to make sure our pups are happy as can be. We could instantly see her level of experience as she asked us several questions important to doggy care during our meet and greet. She has a very welcoming and calm vibe which our dogs love and they come back very happy from their walks.”




15. Elise C.

“Elise is a Fantastic friend to my lil pup! She is very responsible & reliable. I never have to worry when I’m gone that he is well taken care of. She takes the best pics of all their activities, and the narratives of their adventures always make me smile! After weeding through a few Rovers that didn’t work out, I’m so happy we found Elise. 🐾”


16. Vanessa H.

“Vanessa was great!! My pup really enjoyed her walks. Vanessa communicated with me very well and always made sure I was in the know. Will definitely use her again in the future!”


17. Alexia S.
About: I've been caring for cats, dogs and birds since I was 11 years old . I would help my family and neighbors walk, feed, and bathe their pets! My favorite thing about caring for pets is being able to love and care for them. I love being able to spend time with pets because they are also able to provide you with vasts amounts of love! I am currently working from home so I have plenty of time to care for your pets while I complete my work. I am also fully available weekends. I currently live in a house with a big backyard and multiple parks around my neighborhood. Perfect for playing in the backyard and for going on walks.


18. Kacee R.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I can remember. Because of this I have experience with puppies, senior animals and ones who require a special diet or insulin injections. I’m currently working part time with short hours. So I have a lot of availability for walks, drop in visits and giving your pets the time and attention they deserve. I have a fenced backyard with an accessible doggy door and a goofy American PitBull Terrier who loves everything, although preferably no male dogs bigger than him. I also have a shy cat who likes to keep to herself.




19. Kaitlyn H.
“As with most people, leaving your beloved pups with a stranger can sometimes be unnerving. Kaitlyn handled our 2 60+ lbs pups with ease. Her background with personal pets the volunteer work with Animal Humane gave us some added confidence that she was the perfect fit. I highly recommend trusting Kaitlyn to take care of your pups!”


20. Cassandra B.
“Cassandra is one of the sweetest and most reliable people I know. She is very responsible and good with communication. She has spent a lot of time with my dog and is amazing with her. I 100% trust her to watch my dog. Cassandra is kind, caring, and has a calming and friendly presence. She is also detail oriented and will make sure all special needs and requests are met to the best of her abilities. I would highly recommend Cassandra as a pet sitter!”
