“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!”

“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!”

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.

About: For that “Your experience” section, I’d make it more focused on why someone should trust you as a sitter: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from my dog Spencer, who I had for 11 years, to my one-year-old cat Summit, who I adopted from the Arizona Humane Society. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I could only care for cats because my roommates are comfortable with that.They do take care of themself in a way but I do have school online so it would be easy to watch your cute little fur ball critter! I treat pets with love and understanding. I understand when pets needs to eat and they need to play with their toys. And I enjoy giving them that!

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.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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: I’ve had pets my entire life. My family had a two high energy dogs growing up and even from a young age I would enjoy caring for the two of them. After they passed, I volunteered at my local humane society, working mainly with dogs. When I was about 17, I convinced my family to adopt a puppy. I taught him basic commands, potty training, and basic leash skills. I currently own a cat who is equal parts sweetheart and menace. Being tasked with raising a kitten turned out to have a massive learning curve, but he is absolutely spoiled with playtime, toys, and treats. He is currently being leash trained and we’re working on anxiety associated with his crate. I am extremely flexible since I am in a hybrid program for classes, so all of my didactic/classroom work is fully online and accessible from anywhere and anytime! I do work Friday mornings from 8am-12pm and may not be available some weekends since I work every third weekend minimum. Otherwise, I’m completely flexible and will always try to work with you! I care for all pets with love and respect. The main goal is to establish trust with new pets by allowing them to approach me with interest on their own terms, even if it takes a while. Providing pets with playtime and attention is a priority after their daily basic needs are met. I believe in gentle correction or making an activity more interesting with treats or a favorite toy when a pet is acting up or disinterested.

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

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 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: Hi! I’m Courtney, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, daycare, or overnight stay, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and needs, and I do my best to make their time with me feel as close to home as possible. For pets staying in our home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. All pets are fed separately to ensure an stress-free mealtime experience, and they’re welcome on the furniture for snuggles and relaxation. We also have plenty of toys available for sharing, enrichment, and playtime throughout the day. Our large, grassy backyard gives dogs plenty of space to explore and enjoy outdoor time and sunbathe. You’ll receive regular photo updates and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and love building lasting relationships with both pets and their people. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my days around caring for my own dog. Daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, enrichment, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for are already a regular part of my life. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate drop-ins, walks, daycare, and overnight care throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets feels less like a task and more like something I truly love doing. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I’m also comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and adapting to each pet’s personality and needs. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. In my own home, pets are treated like family. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and space to relax. I also have a friendly, well-socialized dog who does well with other animals, and I always prioritize slow introductions and safety to make sure everyone is comfortable.

“Amanda was so lovely! She took care of Bonnie and was so flexible when it came to getting into my building. Thank you, Amanda!”

“Ivyonna is very personable and interacts with the dogs really well. She seems very passionate about animals, and I would be very happy to recommend her for others that would need a dog walker.”
