1. Beth P.
“Beth is THE best and we simply could not recommend her enough!! She sent pics and video updates and took so much time and care for our old man. He has oral medicine and she even went above and beyond and put his chicken (the pill decoy) in the air fryer to get it nice and toasty and greasy so he gobbled it up! Her space is so nice and her sweet pup is full of loving energy and made a great companion for Porkchop. We are so glad to have found her and know that she will be our go-to Rover friend.”
2. Brandon & William R.
“I am so glad that I found Brandon and William. They were the perfect dog sitters for Harley and Callie. I hope to be able to leave the dogs with them again in the future. They were very accommodating, communicated frequently, kept me updated with photos, etc. The dogs had a wonderful time in their home and were well cared for.”
3. Brandon W.
“Brandon was very nice & so accommodating in receiving Khaleesi & Khaldrogo; After last minute arrangement with him. They were there for less than a day & Brandon was a life saver as I cant have fur babies in the resort. He was the most reasonable rate as well for 2 of my pets. He shared that he provided beds & toys for my pets. He even added chicken to the doggie food when my picky doggies won’t eat. I would use Brandon again as my pet sitter. Thank you Brandon.”
4. Ana Karen S.
“Love Ana & our little platinum Beast loves her, too. I’ve lost count of how many times she’s either housesat for her for our work travel or Ana has boarded her but we are so grateful. What a serendipitous find we have had in meeting her. Thank you, Ana!”
5. Sierra C.
“Great experience for us and our 2 standard poodles. Sierra has a great set up for the dogs and is really tuned in to various dog personalities. Our female can be reticent with new people but after a bit she warmed up to Sierra for sure. Would definitely book again!”
6. Brent A.
“Brent took great care of our two pups! It was our first time using Rover and he was absolutely willing to do a meet and greet beforehand which helped set our mind at ease and make sure it was a good two way fit. His house was very pet friendly with a beautiful back yard. One of our pups had a couple indoor accidents and he was super chill about it. He sent us pics and updates throughout their stay Which was greatly appreciated. We would 100% use his services again. Thanks so much, Brent, for a terrific experience!”
7. JOY (.
“I recently entrusted Joy with the care of my dog, Cali, and I couldn’t be more impressed with her dedication and attention to detail. Throughout Cali’s stay, Joy consistently provided me with photos and videos, showing me how well my dog was being cared for. It was clear that Cali was happy, well-fed, and had plenty of playtime. Joy went above and beyond to ensure Cali felt at home, and her updates gave me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Joy to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
8. Andranise B.
“We love Andranise and so does our dog, Elvis! Our senior boy stayed with her for the first time and she took great care of him. I would not hesitate to have him stay with her again.”
9. Rui C.
“Rui was and is the BEST! He took excellent care of my puppy. She loved him and was well taken care of by Rui with care and lots of love. I will have Rui as my puppy sitter in the future! I highly recommend Rui!”
10. Erin M.
“I felt good about leaving Max with Erin. Her home is clean and free of potential hazards. There is plenty of space for my dog to roam in a fenced in environment and a cool place to potty in the back and sides of her home. She kept me thoroughly updated through out the day with pictures and messages. I would use her services again.”
11. Lynn L.
“Lynn did a great job with Yogi! She has a nice place with a great patio where Yogi enjoyed hanging out with her dog, Lucy. Lynn gave Yogi some exercise with walks and visiting the dog park. She was also great about sending updates and pictures regularly. We look forward to using her services again in the future!”
12. Julie P.
“Fantastic Dog Sitter!! Julie and her husband went above and beyond expectations. I picked up very happy dogs with the long walks and extra special attention they provided. I very highly recommend!”
13. Katherine M.
About: My 8-year-old daughter and I moved to the desert a year ago and have desperately wanted to have a fur baby to love. Since we do not have any, we want to extend our love to local pets who are in need of a babysitter while their parents are away. We can board pets up to 50 pounds at our condo, and we can stay overnight 7 days a week since we do not have pets of our own. I am a home health nurse which means my schedule is extremely flexible throughout the work week. Being a nurse also means that I am competent with any medical needs your fur babies have. I can give medications, injections, and wound care. I have a small fenced yard and live in a gated community with plenty of space to walk pets. There are no pets in my home. Prior to being a nurse I spent some time as a private housekeeper and a hotel maid so I am very tidy and always leave places better than when I found them. My daughter and I are both extremely respectful of others. We are both kind, considerate, and helpful.
14. Katie G.
“Katie was a phenomenal sitter for our three kitties for a whole week - we couldn't ask for a better experience! She sent us photos and a thoughtful summary of the day each day. It was reassuring to know our babies were receiving lots of love and attention while we were gone. Additionally, her home was beautiful and clean, and very cat friendly. If we are ever in need of a sitter again, we would reach out to Katie in a heartbeat. ❤️”
15. Joan B.
“Joan and her husband Phil are wonderful. They took amazing care of Parker. Joan sent daily updates throughout his stay. It was his first time away from home and he had a great time. Highly recommend Joan”
16. Jenna C.
“Archie had a great time with Jenna! She was very responsive to my messages and she even took him to work with her, which is great! She gave him a nice bath before pickup. Thanks again Jenna!”
17. Jane S.
“Jane was amazing. We felt that our dog was in good hands. We met her beforehand before we booked and again to introduce our dog before the actual sitting dates. She sent pics and constantly kept us updated on how our dog was doing with her. Excellent pet sitting experience.”
18. David & Laura F.
“Kona had another great stay with David & Laura. They are so great with him and I get wonderful updates on how he's doing. Thank you so much for the peace of mind you always provide while we are away and can't be with him!”
19. Kessley & Nolan N.
“Kessley and Nolan provided me with regular updates on Murphy and Sophie. This assured us our dogs were in great hands! Plus, their dog is also amazing!”
20. Alexandra K.
“First time using Ally. She was wonderful. Great communication. Very friendly. She and her family adopted my dog as their pet and gave her all the love an owner would give their pet. I hope to use Ally again.”
