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: For the past 10 years, I’ve been volunteering at the Arizona Animal Welfare League, walking dogs of all breeds and sizes in my spare time. This experience has given me the skills and patience to be a great match for your furry friend! Due to the summer heat, I am an early riser that can get to you first thing in the morning. If the temps don’t go over 90•, I can do just about any time needed. Since I have pets of my own, I’m currently unable to offer pet sitting in my home. However, once we’ve established a routine, I may be able to provide in-home pet sitting in the future.

Liam M.
“I’ve known Liam for over ten years, and in that time, he’s proven himself to be one of the most reliable and caring people I know. Whenever my family goes out of town, Liam is the only person we trust to care for our two dogs and our tortoise. A few months ago, one of our dogs wasn’t feeling well while we were away. Liam noticed the change in behavior immediately, called us, and even took her to the vet with our permission. He kept us updated every step of the way. That level of responsibility and compassion is rare. Liam treats every pet like it’s his own, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”

“When Amy watched my dog Annie she did it with the utmost care and kept me fully updated. When I got back Annie didn't seem to want to leave. I would definitely book with her again.”
Alison G.
“Working at one of Arizona's largest no kill shelters, I have had the pleasure to meet Allison who is one of our volunteers. Her compassion for the animals is genuinely sincere. She takes dogs from the shelter hiking at Papigo Park on Sunday mornings (weather permitting), so they get accustomed to riding in a vehicle, along with also getting much needed time away from the shelter. She also spends quality time with the dogs in a large play yard, with toys, sprinklers, splash pads, and just giving lots of attention and love. She is truly an inspiration to many of our volunteers (and staff).”
