“My first River experience couldn’t have been better! Ash took excellent care of my pup and helped sooth her anxiety (and mine lol). Thanks for keeping me updated and taking the best care of my girl :)”


“I had an exceptional experience with Fanny while they took care of my French Bulldog, Remi. From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in good hands. They are such a lovely couple with a deep understanding of French Bulldogs and their unique needs. Throughout her stay, they kept me updated with a bunch of videos and pictures, which brought me so much joy while I was out of town. It was heartwarming to see Remi so happy and well-cared for! What impressed me the most was their attentiveness; they even discovered Remi's pododermatitis, which I hadn’t noticed. Their proactive care really gave me peace of mind, knowing that she was getting the attention she needed. I highly recommend Fanny to anyone looking for a caring and knowledgeable dog-sitting experience. I will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future! Thank you for everything!”


“Riggs enjoyed his sleepover at Monica’s! Monica was so kind and took great care of our boy Riggs! We definitely recommend Monica and her family! We will be back!”


“Zinnia was amazing for my dog, Kira! She made sure that she was comfortable the whole time as well as kept me updated on everything happening with her, and included pictures! Most definitely will book again when I need her!”


About: I’m excited to fulfill my fervent passion for caring for fluffy companions while making your family’s life easier! Given that I'm building clientele, here’s $20 off your first booking with Rover in exchange for your feedback: https://www.rover.com/sit/susanb60924 I aim to provide you and your dearest pet with the best experiences and outcomes to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and safe in any environment. My communication will be clear, and follow-ups will be provided promptly. I look forward to developing a special bond and doting on your beloved pet! tl;dr: You’ll notice that my profile is robust, which is intentional because 1) I want to ensure that I’m a good fit for your family and pet’s needs, and 2) It’s essential to have a thorough and holistic view of your pet to ensure you’ll have peace of mind and assurance while you’re away. Experience: My entire life, I’ve gravitated to all creatures, big and small, and I finally have the opportunity to indulge my love of pets while helping others simultaneously! My professional background in the corporate digital technology industry and 40+ years of personal experience caring for animals is rooted in growing up in a rural Midwestern farming community. My earliest memories consist of helping my parents raise and train award-winning show and service dogs for people who have disabilities, breeding and showing Clydesdales, loving on my cats/kittens, and tending to countless aquatic and insect friends. Even though I’m allergic to all animals, except for dogs, you’d still find me frolicking in nature, surrounded by farm animals/livestock, obsessively studying and doting on my animal family and other cherished critters. While living in Chicago, I volunteered at PAWS (the Midwest’s largest non-profit no-kill animal shelter). I consistently travel locally and cross-country to pet sit for friends and family and never pass up an opportunity to be in the company of the most precious and bestest boys/girls (of the animal species, that is). Due to diligently catering to my pets, I have robust awareness and knowledge and am tremendously experienced with all aspects of a pet’s life, personality, and needs: puppies, seniors, rescues, special needs, terminal illness, parasitic/intestinal ailments, medications and administering subcutaneous fluid IVs (renal failure), food allergies, specialized diets/restrictions, treating other medical conditions, training, behavioral issues, and grooming/hygiene best practices. About my pets: My sassy and exuberant silky terriers (previously Miss Addi and now, 2-1/2-year-old Tater Tot) have been/are always by my side. Each moved interstate with us—living the city life in Chicago, then coastal Southern California, and now Phoenix. We’ve created countless joy-filled memories exploring and adventuring (road trips to national parks, vacationing in cities, visiting friends, dining out, extended sniff-patrol strolls, hiking in the mountains, camping, walks on the beach, kayaking, and boating). While living in CA, unfortunately, Miss Addi endured Cushing’s syndrome and started experiencing strokes and seizures. Shortly after moving to AZ, she was then diagnosed with terminal renal failure. We were determined and committed to giving her the most comfortable and best life possible. The final two years of her journey required around-the-clock monitoring, regimented medical interventions, and customized care. While it was such a gut-wrenching experience, we diligently researched, sought out experts, and immersed ourselves in learning about the intricacies of senior/emergency/end-of-life hospice care and how to grieve and cope with the loss of a beloved companion. She lived a full life, we celebrated her 16th birthday and she chose to pass over the rainbow bridge later the same day. A month later, Tater Tot joined our little family. Though he has experienced his fair share of shenanigans at an early age, he is such a resilient, demure, and cheerful little fella! We love him to pieces; he is simply the best! Further Context: I truly empathize and understand the level of decision-making that goes into finding trustworthy, quality care for your beloved companions. Since Rover’s inception, I’ve relied on its service model (as a consumer) due to limitations with traditional dog boarders, and it often wasn’t an ideal solution for my dog’s needs. While we’ve had extremely positive experiences with daycare/boarding facilities, we’ve also dealt with miscommunication, irresponsible and dangerous situations that resulted in stress-induced weight loss, neglect, behavioral issues, illness, and emergency vet visits. With thorough vetting, Rover gave me peace of mind that my most precious family member’s well-being and special needs were prioritized while catering to my busy schedule and last-minute travel engagements. Rover allowed me to move seamlessly through the demands of life and was instrumental while transitioning to new cities. I am grateful for the Rover Petting community and their continued care for my fur babies throughout all phases of their lives. My schedule is flexible, and I am more than happy to work together on a mutually agreed upon routine and care plan for your pet. For short-term stays/overnight boarding at my residence, please consider the following. Household members: - My Partner works remotely. He grew up with golden retrievers, golden doodles, and many other pets and sincerely loves all animals. He is kind-natured and has years of experience caring for and watching friends and family pets. - Tater Tot, our 2-1/2-year-old Silky Terrier, completed private 1:1 obedience training with a professional, certified, and highly reviewed dog trainer. Same for Miss Addi. - Fully vaccinated, receives tic/flea guard and preventative heartworm medications - Tater Tot responds to basic commands, plays well with dogs, and acts politely around humans and other animals. He is highly adaptable in all environments, walks well on a leash, is comfortable on car rides, and is potty-pad/crate-trained. - We do not give our pets people food/snacks due to health/diet restrictions. However, let us know if your pups love partaking in human foods! Living conditions and details: - Secure 2,000 sq. ft. residence in a gated multi-unit living community - Single floor plan layout is kept clean and sanitary - Puppy-proofed (bedrooms can be gated off, and there's enough space for a small pen enclosure/crate in the living area) - There are two small balconies with 3 ft high railings. We created a dedicated potty area on one of the balconies. - We DO NOT have an adjacent/walkout yard - An elevator or four small flights of stairs are required for walks outside - There is a doggy run/area on the property, but it does not meet our quality control standards - The neighborhood is dog-friendly and walkable. It’s comprised of a mix of residential homes, multi-unit complexes, shops, and restaurants. - Weather permitting, walks to Hance Park are ~1 mi. away

“Lauren was awesome! She followed all of our care instructions and took such great care of our dog, Tate. She sent us daily updates, and in some of the photos, it looked like he was enjoying life with Millie and Lauren even more than at home haha. We felt totally at ease on our trip knowing he was in good hands.”


“Scizor really enjoyed hanging out with the other dogs, and Solomon and his wife did an excellent job caring for him too. Thanks again Solomons family!”


“My baby clearly had the best time! Charlotte and Tyler took such good care of her and sent me so many great pictures. I knew she was in excellent hands so I could enjoy my trip!”


“Maggie is an absolute dream. Her home is warm, peaceful, and incredibly welcoming — Lexie felt right at home and I felt completely at ease. Throughout the stay, Maggie sent regular updates, photos, and little notes that gave me so much peace of mind. She even picked up Lexie’s favorite chews to ensure she felt comfortable — just one of many thoughtful gestures that showed how much she truly cares. This wasn’t just dog-sitting, this was personalized care, attention to detail, and a genuine connection. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Lexie can’t wait to visit again. We’ve absolutely found our go-to sitter.”

“Florent did an excellent job watching Skye! He sent me daily updates and pictures which made me feel very comfortable leaving Skye. I even extended Skye’s stay by 2 night and he was able to accommodate and was very reliable. Will definitely be booking again soon!”

“Ben and Hannah are so awesome! They were more than happy to have my 2 pups board overnight with them for a few days while we were out of town. They gave them plenty of snuggles and we got so many updates. They were a perfect fit for our dogs and we will definitely rebook with them!”

Joel N.

His home is filled with belly rubs, long walks, and all the love a dog could ask for. Joel has a natural connection with animals. Whether it’s a high energy puppy or a more reserved senior dog, he meets each pet where they’re at and makes them feel safe and happy. He’s attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs, not just as a job, but as a passion. I’ve seen him go out of his way to make sure dogs are comfortable, entertained, and well cared for. If I ever needed someone to watch my own pets, Joel would be my first call. Pet parents can truly rest easy knowing their furry family members are in such kind and capable hands.”
