“Our dogs have never warmed up so quickly to someone new! Denise is an absolute natural- her relaxed and friendly energy made for immediate best friends with our two high-ish energy pups. We were able to fully focus on our event away from home with zero worries or concerns. Plus, she arrived right on time for both our meet and greet and the full day we needed her services. Both of our dogs were sad when she left and that speaks volumes. AWESOME experience and we’re already looking forward to the next time we can request her services. 10 out of 10”
“Christian is a wonderful young man who took exceptional care of my pups and home. Very good communication throughout prior to and during his time at my home watching my fur-kids. Thank you Christian!”
About: I’ve recently been able to manage 4 dogs who had to be separated by twos in separate rooms. This was probably one of my most difficult tasks to handle, it was 2 frenchies and then my regular dogs I dog sit for. I ran into a few problems, throwing up in the house, not eating, struggling to separate them at times and not being able to get them into their crates. But eventually I was able to manage a certain style to it. So currently I am enrolled fully at Embry Riddle as a freshman. I am also in AFROTC. But I can be flexible with my schedule in mornings, after 9:15. My Thursdays are open because I have no classes. I am not available mid-day throughout the week unless it’s Thursday. Wednesday will probably be a no go, unless it’s in the morning, 9:15-11 or late afternoon, 7-9:30. Weekends just let me know in advanced and we can communicate on that, just so I don’t plan to go anywhere. Since I am in college pets can’t be at my dorm at all. Usually in the clients home it depends on their needs for the pets. Does the pet need walks, do I need to let the dog out to go to the bathroom, is the pet on a specific food schedule/diet, or does the pet just need love when the owner is at work for long periods at a time?
“Kenny did a great job with all our pets - 2 dogs and 1 cat. They were walked every day and well taken care of. He provided some pictures and updates while we were away and he instantly communicated back with us when we checked in with him to see how all was going. He is very flexible and accommodating to changing needs and schedules. Kenny also did a great job taking care of the house and outside plants while we were away.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds, including my Yorkie puppy and several senior cats. I provide daily attention, training, exercise, and care for medical or behavioral needs. I’m comfortable with skittish, anxious, or energetic pets, and I treat every animal with patience, love, and consistency. Pets aren’t just animals to me—they’re family, and I’m committed to keeping them happy, healthy, and safe. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I am currently not working, so I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent care, playtime, and attention throughout the day. My main commitments are taking my daughter to and from school, appointments, and interviews, but I plan my time carefully to ensure pets always receive the care and supervision they need. I enjoy creating a reliable, loving routine for every animal I care for. I care for pets with attention, consistency, and compassion, whether in my home or the client’s home. I provide feeding, exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation tailored to each pet’s needs. For pets with medical or behavioral needs, I follow specific instructions carefully, administer medications if required, and monitor their health and well-being closely. I ensure their environment is safe, clean, and comfortable, and I give them plenty of love and attention so they feel secure and happy while in my care.
About: I enjoy house and pet sitting because it combines several things I value: caring for animals, experiencing new communities, and having the flexibility to work remotely while providing a valuable service to homeowners. As I continue building my consulting business, I have the freedom to work from different locations, which makes house sitting a natural fit. Rather than staying in hotels, I enjoy the opportunity to become part of a neighborhood, maintain a comfortable routine, and care for a home as if it were my own. I've always appreciated the companionship that pets provide and understand how important it is for them to maintain their routines while their owners are away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply spending time together, I enjoy making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I also understand the trust homeowners place in someone who is caring for both their pets and their home. I take that responsibility seriously and pride myself on being dependable, respectful, and attentive to details. For me, house and pet sitting is a win-win arrangement. Homeowners can travel with peace of mind knowing their pets and home are in good hands, and I have the opportunity to help others while experiencing new places in a meaningful and responsible way. I work remotely as a business consultant, and my schedule is quite flexible. I'm typically up around 6am for some exercise and walking, and then start working around 9am. During my morning routine and work, I take care of the pets I'm watching, give them their food, and take them on their walks. I usually do the same around noon, and once again in the late afternoon or early evening. Since I work remote, I can adjust my schedule to the needs of the pets that I am watching. I believe in safety first. Therefore, I usually keep all dogs on a leash when walking and avoid contact with other animals unless specifically requested by a pet owner. I feed all pets per the schedule I'm provided and like to play as much as each pet enjoys. My record for fetch is over one hour with a golden retriever. I've also watched cats, chickens, and birds.
About: I’ve always had a big love for dogs and grew up with them my whole life. I have two dogs of my own and have always loved dog sitting for friends and family. I’m caring, patient, and love making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I’d love to spend more time doing what I love while gaining experience working with animals. I have taken care of senior dogs and puppies! I currently have an open schedule, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pup lots of attention, playtime, walks, and care. I’m available for sitting and drop ins throughout the week and on weekends. I have two friendly dogs at home but they are not as friendly with other dogs, so I provide care in the client’s home rather than boarding. I’m attentive to each dog’s routine and needs and will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Zack took really good care of our dogs! Sent pictures and updates the entire time. He’s clean and professional. Walked the dogs multiple times a day! Will definitely use him again!”
“Top notch Dog Sitter!! I highly recommend Ashleigh!!! I have so many good things to say about her service. She went above and beyond. Ashleigh was so attentive to my dog. She was challenged with a senior dog with high separation anxiety. I asked if she’d stay home with my dog more than be away. She spent long days and evenings with my girl just like I asked. She put the dog food, meds and treats in refridge after she noticed a line of ants on my counters. Ashleigh was so kind to voluntarily wash the bedsheets and put new ones on for me. That saved a lot of time for me after a long flight I can’t keep up with all the extras she did for me and my dog. Oh and she’s so fun to talk to as well. I was so pleased she was at a mature age rather than too young to know how to run a household. I feel my dog was in safe hands with Ashleigh and I’m already hiring her for 3 weeks from now for more overnights! She’s trustworthy, reliable and responds timely. Plus she just moved to Prescott, still unpacking and accepted my request on a last minute request. Thank you, Ashleigh for a job well done! Jingles thanks you! We have more trips where we will definitely hire Ashleigh. I just hope she isn’t booked”
“Erin has been great to work with. Shows up on time, and helps us out with last minute situations. She's great with our Rita! Rita actually ran to the door after she left this last time. That never happened before. We highly recommend Erin completely.”
“Samantha was wonderful.. her enthusiasm was comforting because we knew our Georgia was going to be well taken care of during our adventure to the Grand Canyon.. thank you so much!”
About: I have volunteered with the California SPCA taking care of cats, been involved with 4-H and FFA, raised and showed goat, pig and guinnea pigs. Have experience house and dog sitting for family and friends. Currently in college, studying biology and forestry. I have my own reliable transportation and live in Prescott, but willing to travel to the Quad cities. I currently work part time and also go to college, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to check in and take care of your pet, or even stay the night or weekend with your pet. I have experience with feeding, walking, caring or playing with cats, dogs, or even farm animals. I have no problem with minimal grooming like a bath or brush if needed. I have even saddled and road horses and shown animals through 4-H and FFA. I am studying biology and environmental science.
“Sarah was truly a professional from the time I reached out, to meeting me and my animals and finished up when she cared for my critters for a week. Everybody was happy, fed and cared for. I received messages, questions and photos about my animals. Totally happy about the care my animals received .”
“It was great to know my dog was well taken care of and that even though I was from out of town, I found someone so trustworthy! Morgan stayed at my house for a few nights and left the house spotless! If you are in Sedona for a short time and don’t want your dog to bake in the sun, know that Morgan will take great care of your dog!”

About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have 4 years of experience working as a veterinary technician, and 10+ years taking care of animals which has given me hands-on experience with all kinds of dogs and cats and taught me how to understand their individual personalities and needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs a little extra patience, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.🐾❤️ I will always try to be very flexible with my hours and whatever is easiest for your schedule, my goal is to do this full time. I do have a fenced in yard and two fur baby’s that would keep your animals company while you are away. I am willing for your animals to either stay at my house or to stay at your house or check in. Whatever you prefer.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Paulden walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Paulden maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Paulden choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
