“Elizabeth has been super clutch for me and even let me book an additional day last minute! I hope to make her my reoccuring dog walker. She is very attentive, responds very promptly and my dog seems to enjoy her. She has even sent me pictures of my dog to reassure me he is doing great (since he is a newer rescue). Thank you Elizabeth!!!!”
About: I've taken care of a variety of mammals (including dogs and cats) my whole life. I am a recent graduate of veterinary school looking to grow in the veterinary industry by getting as much experience as possible with all kinds of animals. Who doesn't want a pet sitter who has veterinary experience. Not only do I know you're friends' needs, I am able to address any medical concerns that you may have. I am unable to do boarding at my own home at this time, but I have plenty of time throughout the week with any kind of service you need. Including overnight stays. ** I provide a complimentary grooming and nail trim if wanted with EVERY visit!! I am comfortable working in any kind of home that you have, I can guarantee you will be satisfied with how well I work with your furry friend.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a baby I’ve been around a variety of breeds ranging from tiny Chihuahuas to Great Danes as well as cats and other small animals! I currently have seven dogs and three cats of my own that are all rescues. In 2019, I did work at a doggy daycare where I had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs that were not of my own in a safe, supervised environment. I truly do love any and all animals and will treat every pet as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and will do everything I can to accommodate your pet’s needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or extra playtime, I’ll provide dependable care while keeping you updated with messages and photos so you always know how they’re doing. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise routine, and any special requests you have. I also have experience caring for pets with medical needs. One of my own puppies survived parvovirus, and under my veterinarian’s guidance, I administered prescribed medications and subcutaneous fluids at home. That experience taught me the importance of patience, attention to detail, and following veterinary instructions closely. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I love to be around animals. I went to a trade school for 2 years during high school to become a veterinary assistant, and plan to continue education to become a veterinarian one day. I volunteered at the humane society for about 4 months, and through the vet assistant program, I was around all ages and breeds of cats and dogs. I’ve been around animals my whole life, especially dogs and cats, however I’ve even had my own pet fish and hamsters at one point. I have been pet sitting for other people for a couple months now and I am excited to start pet sitting for rover now I am currently available at almost all times since I only have morning classes and will work part time, and I am also available weekends and holidays. I know how to work with all temperaments of dogs and cats plus how to work with all ages of dogs and cats too. I have one dog at home, who is very nice and energetic.
“Victoria has become my go-to whenever I’m traveling to Phoenix. She’s incredibly reliable, always quick to respond, and so flexible with scheduling, which makes everything seamless and stress-free. It’s such a relief knowing I can count on her every time. She is my very first contact in the area! Highly recommend!”
“Sydney went above and beyond with our dogs. She was thoughtful, caring, and kind. What more could you ask for when you leave your beloved pets in the care of another. We couldn’t be more grateful, and will definitely be using her as our pet walker whenever we’re out of town.”
About: I bring over 15 years of professional experience as a veterinary nurse and veterinary hospital manager. I've cared for dogs and cat of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. I'm comfortable with our anxious friends, medication administration, special-needs pets, and basic puppy training and positive reinforcement. Have pets beyond dogs and cats? I’m also experienced and comfortable caring for a variety of exotic and non-traditional pets, including turtles, snakes, fish and aquariums, frogs, hermit crabs, and more. I understand that these pets often have very specific feeding, habitat, temperature, lighting, and care requirements, and I’m happy to follow your established routine while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for weekday walks and drop-in visits, as well as house sitting and extended care through the weekends. I intentionally keep my schedule manageable so I can provide reliable, unrushed, and personalized care for every pet. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions, respect your home, and take time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and boundaries. With 15+ years of veterinary experience, I’m attentive to changes in behavior or well-being and comfortable handling unexpected situations calmly. I’ll also keep you updated with daily photos and messages, so you can relax knowing both your pets and your home are in experienced, trustworthy hands.
“Alexandra was awesome! I had a few specific requests on the walk due to my dogs age and she had no problem following them. I was out of town and I loved all the pictures and updates she sent. My dog is big and sometimes acts stupid around other dogs, which always makes me concerned when I’m not there but she didn’t seem to have any problems handling her. I’m glad she was there to help. Next time I need someone to help me take care of my dog she will be my first call.”
“Taz is so knowledgeable about training. Taz suggested I walk my puppy with a toy to help burn off that puppy energy. Taz is prompt and communicative. I plan to board with her in a couple of weeks.”
About: I have had dogs all my life. Cats for over 30. I have fostered many dogs and puppies, from liters of 6 week olds to 120# newfoundlands. I consider myself a pet nanny and spoiler. My job is to keep your pets safe and happy while you are away. I currently consider a night as 8pm to 8am. If your dog needs more time than that let's talk about extended care. I have a level 1 fingerprint clearance card. I have a day job in pet rescue and work 10am-6:30 pm five days a week. I can not provide mid day care those days. I am happy to come to your home and love on your pets. I am happy to play with them, pet them, feed and light brushing. I try very hard to stick with your routine and keep them on your schedule.
About: Matt has spent years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. His experience ranges from helping family and friends with their pets to caring for animals on a working farm, where consistency and attention to detail matter every day. Matt & Jeremy provide home to their pack including mini blue heeler, Riff, and five cats. Living with a mix of energetic and independent personalities has taught us that every animal communicates differently. Some want to play, some want to explore, and some simply appreciate a calm, familiar presence. Our goal is not to treat every pet exactly the same, but to understand and provide what helps yours feel safe, comfortable, and content. Matt is available most weekdays and select weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays with some notice. For walks specifically, early morning availability is often best during the warmer months, though evening visits may also be possible depending on the weather and your pet’s needs. Matt can offer assistance with walks, potty breaks, clean up, feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, playtime, brushing, medication according to your instructions, and other parts of your pet’s established routine. We are especially comfortable with repeat visits and regular walking schedules - familiarity helps both pets and people feel more at ease. For walks, we carry water, a collapsible bowl, waste bags, treats when approved, and basic first-aid supplies. Arizona weather requires extra care. We pay close attention to pavement temperatures, direct sun, signs of overheating, and how each dog is handling the conditions. During the summer, we strongly prefer early morning walks and may adjust the pace, route, or amount of outdoor time when needed. We don’t measure a successful walk by distance alone. Exercise matters, but so do sniffing, curiosity, mental stimulation, and letting dogs enjoy being dogs. Our goal is not simply to wear your dog out. It is to help them return home comfortable, content, and revitalized. During drop-in visits, Matt always takes care to follow instructions, secure doors and gates, refresh food and water, and leave your home as it was found. You’ll also receive photos and a clear update after each visit.
About: I have grown up around all types of animals. It is my passion to care for them and make sure they feel loved. I go the extra mile to make sure everything is good! :) I am currently unemployed, so I have a lot of time to care for pets. Of course not 24/7 because I need to love and care for my Marty! But, my availability is pretty open. I don’t currently allow other pets to come into my home, but I am able to stop by your home, if needed to check on/feed the pets.
About: Hi! My name is Tiffany and I am an experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of experience. I am currently taking in new clients and expanding my business =) I am a stay at home mom and currently studying for my paralegal certificate. I am home all day except for the occasional errand =) I have a fenced in yard with a dedicated area inside and outside for my pups! Covered patio, access to a doggie door, turf and plenty of toys! I do require my pups to be crated at night for safety =)
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from small pups to large breeds. I've also cared for dogs with special needs that required extra attention, patience, and individualized care. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and what makes them feel comfortable and safe. Whether that means plenty of playtime and walks, a little extra patience, or simply lots of attention and affection, I'll treat your dog like they're part of the family. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love while you're away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and of course lots of attention and affection. When a dog is in my care, I’m happy to adjust my routine around what they’re used to at home. Whether they need early morning walks, scheduled meals, extra potty breaks, medication, or just someone around to keep them company, I want to make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. I also enjoy staying active, so having a four-legged companion along for walks is always a plus! 🐾 Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, sleeping arrangements, and any special care your pet may need. I know some dogs adjust to new people and places right away, while others need a little extra time and patience. I’m happy to let your dog settle in at their own pace and give them the attention, playtime, exercise, or quiet time that fits their personality. Safety is always a priority, and I’ll keep a close eye on your pet while they’re in my care. I also know how reassuring it is to hear that your pet is doing well while you’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout their stay. 🐾

Alyssa has helped me care for my Belgian Malinois female for over a year by providing mid-day walks. Alyssa is caring, compassionate, responsible and meticulous in going about her dog care responsibilities. She understands working dogs specifically Malinois’ and their unique breed characteristics. I am a Veterinarian (in public health) so I feel I am a good evaluator of people’s dog IQ’s and I rate Alyssa at the top of the hierarchy. She follows through with a text to me about every walk she completes. She is especially attentive if there is an issue with my dog that I am concerned about. Look no further if you need help with your dog. I completely trust her. Alyssa is awesome.
Blanca has provided excellent service, taking care of my boy, Buddy. She took time to bond with Vuddy during the meet and greet and takes him on nice walks. She really cares about Buddy and given me some pointers for having better walks when he is with me. I would recommend Blanca to walk and take care of any dog. Very good at what she does.
Linda did a great job walking Sadie. I had to change the time and she was flexible and was able to change it. She’s communicated with me and sent me a picture of my Sadie after the walk. It’s so nice to know that while I’m working Sadie still got her walk it. I trust Linda to walk Sadie again. She’s very responsible and Sadie loved her immediately.
