“Jeannie is soooo great!!! We felt super comfortable to leave our big golden with them! They have a beautiful home and nice yard for doggies to run around and they have two cute labs too!

About: As a pet lover and owner of a small senior dog, I understand the importance of finding a caring, reliable sitter. I’ve looked after dogs, cats, and even birds—helping friends in times of need and ensuring their pets feel safe and loved. I’m active and enjoy being outside. I’m also flexible and adaptable to your pet’s routine, making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away I’m quite flexible and can make most schedules work! On the rare occasions I’m unavailable, I have a trusted partner, Jennifer, who can step in, so your pet is always in good hands. Since I live in the desert full-time, I’m readily available to help—whether it’s an early morning walk, an evening check-in, or anything in between. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities. Whether in your home or mine, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to their needs. I follow their routines, respect their space, and ensure they feel secure—whether that means belly rubs on demand, quiet companionship, or sticking to their favorite walking route. I also take safety seriously, keeping a close eye on their surroundings and following any special instructions to ensure peace of mind for both you and your pet. My goal? Happy tails, purrs, and an stress-free experience for everyone!
“Andranise was so nice, communicated efficiently, and most important of all my dog loved her and felt very comfortable with her I would definitely recommend her as a sitter. It's a breathe of fresh air to find someone that can love your dog as much we do and take great care of them.”
“I loved working with Whitney! She had a dog that my dog could play with… She gave me regular photo updates and video updates, which was awesome! She was quick to respond, and really easy to work with! I highly recommend her!”

“Julie has been great with our dog. She is on time, keeps us updated with photos and texts. She is also very flexible if our schedule changes. I highly recommend her as a dog walker/sitter and will continue to use her for our pup.”
About: I’ve had the genuine pleasure of taking care of so many dogs in my life, including providing 2 years of hospice care to a 14 year old rescue. I love puppies, adults and seniors alike! I am extremely thorough and will treat your pup like my own, and provide loving, compassionate, thorough and safe care. I’m a stay at home mom with time on my hands while my kid is at school, so I’m looking for part-time dog sitting/walking/boarding work :) I have a fenced front and back yard. I also have two friendly pups who will keep your pup company! Pleased note we unfortunately don’t have a crate, so you will need to provide your own if that’s your preference. I will care for your pet as if he/she was my own and follow *their* needs and wants throughout the day, and make sure they feel as comfortable and happy in my home as your own! I absolutely LOVE dogs - I cannot even begin to express how much! - and am just so excited to be able to provide loving and safe care for other pups while their owner is away.
“Thank you Tetyana for taking care of my little pooch! Even though a rescue with lots of separation anxiety, he was a happy pup when I picked him up. The socialization with your other dogs was no doubt good for him, and I appreciate the caring attention you gave him!”
“Brandon is an excellent caregiver for pets. He's responsive, reliable and most important. My dogs really liked him and felt comfortable and safe. Thank you so much we appreciate it.”

“This is the second time we've worked with Shayna (we missed the review window on the first time) and we couldn't be happier having met her! She's provided both in-home overnights (10 days!) and day care for our 2 dogs, one old with medication needs and one young puppy. She is calm, friendly and professional and she clearly cares for every pet she works with. And our dogs LOVE her! She goes above and beyond expectations, shuttling our pups to appointments and even running errands if we needed something extra while we were gone.
