About: Grew up with dogs, our family felt incomplete without a pet. I believe pets add joy to life- a hike, walk or home is made better by the presence of one. They are however a responsibility and I am use to the demands they come with. I also have lived with roommates with dogs ranging from a puppy golden retriever, a mutt rescued off the streets, a german shepherd to a great dane and am often friends/families go to take care of their pets. Overall, a big animal lover, that even they seem to pick up on as they seem to naturally take an instant liking to me. As I currently am unable to have a pet of my own, I'd love to help take care of yours. My schedule is very flexible and open. I am happy to accommodate what works for you/your pet. Feel free to send over your requests so we can discuss options I am not able to offer caring for pets at my place of residence as there are already other dogs in the house. Care offered will be only available for me to come to you.

“Kyley has been the best, incredibly reliable and so kind. We always know our girl in the best hands and a bonus she also has a golden retriever!”

About: I've taken care of dogs & cats my whole life, raised on a rural farm, my love and passion for animals started young in life. I have continued this passion with advocacy through my professional life working with people with developmental disabilities and getting them comfortable around animals, I have a Masters Degree and Bachelor's Degree and a daughter who is a Veterinary Technician who is always my "go to" for animal advice/guidance, your pet will receive the upmost care with me! I am currently open at this time to schedule on a consistent basis, drop ins, open to schedule at least one week in advance. Monday-Sunday. I am open to doing locations currently in both Tucson and Colorado Springs, due to having homes in both, depending on client/pet needs and scheduling in advance, I am able to accommodate my schedule to see where I most needed to make sure your pet needs are met. Will go to clients home, will do overnight visits and do dog walking, don't allow pets in my home, will go to the homes to care for the animals.

About: I have had animal family members since I was a small child, and am the definition of a dog lover. I have experience with cats, rabbits, rodents, and small dogs, and large/giant dog breeds being my absolute favorite. In addition to my life long experience caring for my own animals, I started helping my aunt with her pet setting business when I was 16-21. And in the last 5 years, I have been active on Rover doing dog walks, drop in visits, and overnight stays. The quality of my care is unmatched, and there is nothing I love more than taking care of animals! I have a flexible schedule, typically able to accommodate any needs! I work from 10:30-4 on Monday and Friday, and 9:30-3 Saturday and Sunday. I can arrange to take a break mid day if needed as well! I have open availability Tuesday-Thursday! I know how hard it can be to leave a beloved animal while you are away. I ensure you that I will treat your animals with love, respect, and kindness. I have a very particular dog at home that needs a lot of special attention, so I’m very familiar with any not so typical requests!

“Danielle is an amazing sitter. I am happy i came across her profile and my cat loves her. I feel more comfortable and look forward to vacations because i am not worried about pet.”

About: With a lifetime of hands-on experience, I provide dedicated care for pets of all shapes and sizes. From cats and dogs to bunnies and horses, I’ve done it all. I understand that your pets are family. My mission is to give them the exact same love, attention, and high-quality care that you would provide yourself. As a part-time worker and a proud mom to a senior dog, I understand exactly what it means to provide attentive, around-the-clock care. My daily routine is already built around patience, love, and strict schedules. Just like I do for my own senior pup, I promise to treat your fur babies with that exact same deep devotion. Whether they need special medical attention, frequent potty breaks, or just an extra dose of love, my flexible schedule ensures they are never left waiting. I offer reliable drop-in visits and overnight care tailored entirely to your pet's safe space—their own home. I am fully present and can easily adapt to your pet's routine for a seamless transition while you are away.

About: I used to volunteer as a foster for a lab rescue and grew up around animals by entire life. I’m comfortable with all sorts of animals as well as dogs, big and small. I’m a stay at home mom, so I have a very flexible schedule to come during the day especially. Staying in your home or coming to take the dogs out or frequent. Regular walks is all very doable. I can come to your home, and my dogs are taken care of at mine, so that it is not an issue or a worry if you’re not sure if your animals are friendly with others

About: Hi, I’m Savannah. I work at a doggy daycare and have owned many dogs and cats throughout my life. I am 19 years old and I love animals. I would love to take care of your animals and treat them like my own, with love. I work a 9 to 5 at a doggy daycare Monday through Friday. I am available for drop ins or housesitting that can accommodate to that schedule. I live in an apartment with a dog park, and I usually go on walks in the morning and afternoon. I spend most of my time outside and would love to take your dog with me.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and honestly can’t imagine a day without them. I learned that dogs are excellent for healing in that they will love you no matter what and never leave you. Because of this I know your pup is probably precious to you as ours is to us. I work from home, so your pup will get tons of attention, walks, and playtime. I’m great with puppies and gentle with seniors—whatever they need, I’m there. I work from home and already taking care of our pup on a typical day. My desk overlooks the fenced in back yard so I can keep a close eye on the pups while I work. At my home, dogs have plenty of space to play and relax. I have a fully fenced backyard where they can run around freely and safely. I also give them daily walks for exercise and a change of scenery. When it’s time to rest, they have their own private crate to unwind and feel comfortable.

About: I grew up with a constant menagerie of pets. When I still lived in my hometown with my mom and dad, we had a farm with more than 10 dogs and 7 cats. My job everyday was to take care of them and feed them, and I spent a lot of time playing around with them too, while my mom and dad were working so I’m very comfortable around all types of animals. I’m also a stay-at-home wife, so without other concerns during the day, your critters get my full attention! I love dogs and cats and have never met one I didn’t like or even that didn’t like me. I love earning an animal’s trust, showing them love, that they can trust me, and making them comfortable in my home. I have also spent a lot of time around a big variety of different dog breeds as well, and know how to handle them all; their activity and energy level, general personality types and their needs. Also, I have some knowledge about the best animal nutrition practices and am mindful of that when caring for your critters. I am 23 years old, so still energetic enough to match the young ones and puppies, who are of course always full of energy and always in that adorable, excited mood, which is very welcome in my home. Besides walking, I’ve created some pretty fun games for dogs that can help burn up some energy too! With senior dogs, I know how to make them comfortable and maintain a calm, quiet and caring environment for them with lots of dog bed spread around the house. When you trust me to let me take care of your dogs, you absolutely don't have any problems to worry about. I can promise that your dogs will have the best care and always be free to be themselves without worry, stress, or fear in my home. I am a full-time housewife, so pet care IS my weekly routine! Besides the usual house chores, I have plenty of time to give full attention to your furry loved ones. All day long, every single day, you can drop off your dogs at my home (my husband is just as much of an animal love as I am, and a business owner, so if he’s off he’ll be just as happy to have them as guest as I am!). Your dogs are welcome to sleep over at our house every single day of the week, until you get back from business trips or vacations. Food, water, a bed to sleep in and freshly cleaned toys to play with between sittings; our home can be theirs whenever needed. I can be available three days per week to come to your house overnight to take care of your dogs in their own home if you wish, as long as our schedules line up. With food: If you give me any food for your dogs when you drop them at my home, I will follow any routine and recipe you have laid out, being considerate of diet issues. If you’re more relaxed about diet concerns and don’t mind me spoiling them a bit I might treat them to a rice, chicken or fish and olive oil treat, which is a veterinarian favorite for good canine health, and dogs always tend to love it! (I keep these on hand and their made with no seasonings or flavorings at all). However, make sure you give me any information about your dogs health, diet and allergy concerns, before hand. In the yard: I do have a yard with a fence where your dogs can run around and play a bit or relieve themselves, but I use it sparingly and usually just do walks outside. (I do not have any plants in the yard that can cause harm to dogs.) Parks and trails: From my home to the end of the road I live on, about a one minute walk, I have access to a park that I’ll sometimes take dogs to. If your dogs are sociable and you don’t have concerns with them having run ins with other dogs or children then they might gets some social time that way. Let me know if these are concerns and we will keep them at the house. If your dogs are not socialized, I can take them for walks on the trail away from others, or not. Just let me know. With environment: I have no children, no pets, so your dogs will not have to face any territorial or child terrorism issues of any kind. If you prefer, I can keep your dogs privately kenneled while with me or allow them freedom to move about the house and socialize with me. If you don't say anything, I prefer to give your dogs freedom to roam around in my home and lounge wherever they like. They are allowed to stay on the couch or the bed, which is fine with me, but if you have them trained not to, just let me know and I will stop them. If there are any other training concerns or restrictions, don’t hesitate to let me know and I will maintain those both firmly and gently!

About: To this day any Sarah McLachlan song makes me cry thinking of the ASPCA commercials. I have had pets since before I could walk and not a day goes by that I don't pour all of my love out onto my own pup. Let me help you with yours when you need it! Being a single dog mom I know how hard it is to find "someone" when you just have to work late, or cant get home at lunch or really want to go on that group vacation but can't bring your fur baby. I currently work in finance but long to spend my days surrounded by animals. I am available for afternoon walks or hikes. Weekends are wide open for hotel pet sitting, overnights at your home, walks, hikes, quality time visits for your cat on vacation, etc. I can make my work schedule adjust if needed as well. Currently, I cannot board in my home as my fur baby is older now and not fond of newcomers. I am happy to help at yours (home or hotel stay). I am happy to take my shoes off when I enter, leave a place cleaner than I entered, and treat everything with the utmost respect.

About: Avid outdoors person, energetic and outgoing. Would love to take your dog to the park, on hikes, swimming, etc. If your dog is more a relaxed type of furry friend, we can go to the park and chill in the shade. Will have fun with your pet but also continue to reinforce good behavior and obedience. Will always remain patient when your pet doesn't behave as expected, and stay calm so your pet doesn't feel and react to any anxiety. Handling your pet with affection is a huge priority. Reliable and dependable, can send you photos and updates whenever you would like! Have had an entire lifetime of experience, have been a dog owner for the majority of my life and want to treat yours like my own!

“Mikaela was absolutely fantastic. Our dogs loved her from the get-go, and she went above and beyond to make sure they were comfy and well-taken care of while we were gone. Would 10/10 recommend her :)”

About: I have always had pets growing up. Dogs, Cats, Bunnies, Fish... you name it. Alongside from caring for my own pets, I have cared for neighbors and families pets as well! Your pet will be in great care because of my love and experience from my years of pet sitting. Walks, grooming, snuggling, feeding and playing. I understand that pets have separation anxiety just like humans do. I will make your pet feel comfortable and still right at home. I treat any animal with kindness and respect. I make sure they are able to go relieve themselves, make sure they have eaten, make sure that they have gotten some sort of exercise, and love.

About: Dogs hold a special place in my heart. They are not just pets, but loyal companions who always stand by your side, no matter what. Throughout my life, I have had the privilege of owning both dogs and cats, but it is the dogs who have truly captured my heart. The unconditional love and loyalty that dogs offer is unparalleled. They are always there to greet you with tail wagging and eager eyes, ready to shower you with affection. They are quick to forgive and forget, always willing to forgive any shortcomings or mistakes we may make. Owning a dog has given me a whole new perspective on life. They teach us patience, responsibility, and the importance of unconditional love. Dogs have a way of bringing joy and happiness into our lives, even on the toughest of days. Their presence is a constant source of comfort and companionship. I am currently only working the weekends, Friday-Sunday, so anytime during the week, Monday through Thursday, I can help out with your cute furry friends! I have a senior dog at home with a big fenced in yard with plenty of room to play. I also do have a lot of neighborhood trails to go for walks.

“Meagan did a fantastic job caring for our four dogs during her drop-in visits. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages, which I really appreciated. Her attentiveness and awareness gave me peace of mind while she was with our pets. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable care!”
