Dog Sitting Phoenix

“I would like to first off start by stating that I went through five different interviews in order to find Marisa!! For the original meet and greet, I was worried as she was one of the last people we were interviewing from the Rover app. She was on time and made no excuses about being tardy, nor having to reschedule ultimately very reliable from the first time we met her after that she did come and do a test run with the drop in visit and did absolutely amazing. For example, my dog ended up urinating in my house and she had seen some Clorox wipes and obviously there was paper towels and other stuff there she could have left the urine on the ground and that would've actually been fine with me because I would've picked it up, but she actually went the extra step as to clean it up and use Clorox wipes and she threw it away!! So from the beginning, I knew she was absolutely amazing Ever since then she has been walking our dog and doing drop in visits. She has done multiple and I will continue to book with her because my dog is a puppy (1.5 years old) still and doesn't know how to control his excitement so to other people he can be scary, but to Marisa she was able to contain him get his behavior traits, lockdown and ultimately be able to already to train him in a certain routine that they have together which he absolutely loves Now that we won't be out of town coming up soon she may not be walking him or doing drop in visits as much but we will definitely be using her on a regular basis. I would 100% recommend for anyone that is needing drop in visits or pet care to hire Marisa because she is absolutely amazing and again my dog is 80 pounds plus being a Staffy mix with American pitbull he is super strong and can be very aggressive towards other dogs and she has been able to keep him under control. Thank you again Marisa for providing the most amazing outstanding care for our baby and loving him just as much as we do I will forever be grateful for finding you. Thank you again!!!”

About: I have owned 4 dogs in the last 10 years ranging from a Neo mastiff to chihuahua at the same time. I have owned a variety of animals also so if you were to have any other kinds of pets I would be capable of caring for them also. One house sitting involved 7 dogs 2 cats 2 horses and a handful of chickens and 2 pigs. All of which were well cared for. I always get the comment of 'my dog doesn't like men but he loves you' all the time. I am not sure what it is but I get along well with all animals even the hot tempered ones. I love all animals and I am sure they will have a lot of attention and be well cared for while I am watching them. I am a rideshare driver usually up early for the morning rush. I have a flexible schedule just let me know what your needs are. I’m flexible and accommodating when caring for pets in my client’s home, making sure to follow their routine closely. I’m happy to give medications, go on walks, and provide whatever care the dog needs to feel comfortable and safe.

“Chelsea is an excellent sitter. She’s communicative, caring, and passionate about what she does. I never had a worry while she watched my cat for about two months. She even helped to move my cat to another home for her to stay there while my house is being shown. If I ever need another sitter in Phoenix, I’m definitely reaching out to Chelsea!!”

“Alyssa was fantastic. She was very communicative and made adjustments to help encourage eating with my difficult eater. She was great about getting he to take her medication as well.”

“Nicole was awesome! Will definitely book her again in the future. She was very thorough in asking all the right questions and ensuring our cats were well taken care of. Highly recommend!”

About: When you're away, you want to know your dog is happy, healthy, and cared for like family. As a Rover client myself, I know how much thought goes into finding a sitter who will truly care for your beloved pet. More than anything, I want your dog to feel genuinely loved, not just looked after. . I understand that each dog is unique, so I'll partner w/ you and build a routine around what your pup actually needs, provide individualized attention, enrichment, and a calm, structured environment. Updates and photos will be provided as often as you want, and communication will be professional and prompt. . Centrally located in downtown Phoenix, under 15 minutes from PHX airport, in a secure building complex. My home is calm, clean, and puppy-proofed, with all dog supplies, toys, grooming products, bedding, and furnishings chosen specifically for safety and hygiene. You and your dog can expect a well-maintained, hypoallergenic-conscious environment, alongside Tater Tot (my 3.5 year old, professionally trained, spunky silky terrier) and my pup adoring partner, Justin. . Meet n' Greets are encouraged, in-person or virtual (video) to make sure it's a good fit for everyone. If your pup does better one-on-one, with gentle structure, individualized attention, and endless pampering, I'd love to meet them! . Background: . Dogs, cats, horses, aquatic pets, animals big and small - if it had fur, fins, scales, or feathers, I’ve cared for them all! I have over 40 years nurturing and loving animals: training award-winning service dogs for people who have physical disabilities, raising Clydesdale draft horses in a rural Midwestern farming community, and volunteering at PAWS, Chicago's largest no-kill shelter. A close family friend's parents worked in veterinary medicine, and I spent years shadowing their practice in the office and in the countryside. Also, I frequently travel to pet sit for friends locally and cross-country, and I'll bring that same level of trust and attentiveness to your pup. . Between my own pets and the animals I grew up around, I have real, hands-on experience with puppies, seniors, rescues, special needs, terminal illness, intestinal ailments, medications, subcutaneous fluid administration, food allergies and specialized diets, training reinforcement/techniques, behavioral issues, and grooming and hygiene best practices. . I do best with puppies (AVSAB guidelines for safety and socialization), senior dogs, pups with special diets or allergies, and dogs needing extra patience or a quieter setup. Puppies get structured routines and positive reinforcement. Seniors get a slower pace and attention to mobility and medication timing. Allergies and special diets are followed exactly. For dogs with behavioral sensitivities, whether that's noise, other animals, or new environments, I adjust the pace and space to keep them comfortable rather than forcing interaction. . My pets: . My silky terriers have always been by my side, first Addi, and now Tater Tot. Addi made the journey with me from Chicago to coastal Southern California to Phoenix, and we spent those years road tripping, hiking, camping, kayaking, and exploring together. She lived a full life to 16, including managing Cushing's syndrome and eventually renal failure with consistent, attentive medical care in her final years. That experience taught me patient, individualized care, something I bring into every dog I look after. Tater Tot, now 3.5 years old, joined our family here in Arizona after Addi crossed the 🌈 bridge. I am 100% available for your pup all day long, so pet care fits naturally into my normal routine rather than being squeezed around it. Feeding, medication, and walks happen on your dog's exact schedule, not mine. Walks are timed around Phoenix heat, always in shaded areas and during the cooler parts of the day; your dog will always be walked or get outside for a potty break regardless of temperature. Between scheduled care, I'm present in the home for calm companionship, not leaving your dog alone for long stretches. For short-term stays and overnight boarding at my residence, here's what to expect. . Household members: . - My partner works remotely. Kind-natured, with years of experience caring for friends' and family's pets. He grew up with golden retrievers, goldendoodles, and other pets. - Tater Tot, our 3.5 year old silky terrier, completed private 1:1 obedience training with a professional, certified trainer. He is fully vaccinated, on tick/flea guard and preventative heartworm medication. Responds to basic commands, plays well with other dogs, and is polite around people and animals. Adaptable in new environments, walks well on a leash, comfortable in the car, and potty-pad/crate-trained. - We don't feed our pets people food due to health/diet restrictions, but let us know if yours enjoys sharing. - Vaccination and preventative med records available if you'd like to see them. . Living conditions: . -Secure 2,000 sq. ft. residence in a gated multi-unit community, single floor, clean and puppy-proofed. Bedrooms can be gated off, and there's room to setup a pen or crate in the living area. - Your dog will always be walked or go outside for potty breaks. Timing is adjusted around Phoenix heat conditions and matched to your dog's leash comfort and energy level. Getting outside requires an elevator or four flights of stairs, which I factor into scheduling. - If your pup is potty pad trained and does not wish to be walked in the extreme heat, we've created a dedicated, secure, and hygienic potty area on our balcony (3 ft railings), since we don't have an adjoining yard. - The neighborhood is dog-friendly and walkable, a mix of homes, apartments, shops, and restaurants. Hance Park is about a mile away, and if your pup is athletic, we can drive to any local Mountain Preserve for some on-leash hiking, weather permitting.

“Alyssa is awesome! We had a little meet and greet before hand and she took great care of my two dogs. Definitely will rebook her again. Very trustworthy and great at communication. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I can’t say enough good things about Madison, she’s been absolutely amazing with Brodie! Reliable, punctual, and always follows every instruction down to the last detail. She goes above and beyond every day: making sure Brodie is settled in after the walk, giving that extra treat just right, and really taking the time to check things over so I know he’s happy and safe. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind that their pet is in great hands”

“Lauren was a very good dog sitter. She was consistent with her times and took good care of our beloved dog. She communicated with me about various details and was also easy adjusting to when our neighbor had the dog for the day. She still came and fed her and returned her to my neighbor so she wasent alone. I plan to use her again.:-)”

About: Hi, I’m Hilary! I am a healthcare worker and animal lover who will make sure your pet isn’t missing out on any fun or cuddles while you’re away. My goal is to put your mind at ease with a dependable, consistent schedule and frequent updates. A little about me - I’ve lived with pets my whole life and I’m currently a proud mom to two rescue kittens. I feel comfortable working with cats and small to medium/large dogs of all ages, with a variety of medical conditions. My experience ranges from caring for kittens and puppies to senior cats and dogs, including pets with special diets and disabilities. I am open to any breed of dog and have especially extensive experience with chihuahuas and golden retrievers. I am available for walks, hikes, play time, overnight stays at your house, or quick check-ins. I’d love to get to know you and your pet, so feel free to message me with any questions! Because I work full time, my availability for walks and drop-ins is limited to evenings and weekends. I also accept house sitting requests for the weekends or for pets who are accustomed to being home alone during the day on weekdays. My house sitting rates include walks and cover up to 16 hours of care. Constant care of up to 24 hours is charged at an additional 50% of the nightly rate. I will review your safety concerns and protocols prior to any assignment, including any doors, stairs, and gates in your house, any use of crate, and any harness or leash used for outdoor activities.

“Danielle was great! I needed someone to cover the 2 days over Thanksgiving I was without a cat sitter and it was the first time I had left my new kitties, so I was a little nervous. She was prompt, communicative, and captured their personalities perfectly! I felt very at ease knowing she was there.”

About: I have 2 dogs of my own that I take care of and have dog sat for neighbors and friends before! I work well with both big and small dogs! As a nursing student, my schedule is flexible and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m generally free all day on Mondays, most Wednesdays, and weekends, and I can also provide evening/night care depending on my availability. I’m happy to work pet care into my weekly routine and make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need! I care for pets with patience, attention, and plenty of love. In a client’s home, I follow their routine and instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific preferences they have for their pet. I also make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and receive plenty of companionship while their owners are away.

About: I have 5+ years of pet care experience caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I genuinely love being around animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m very patient, attentive, and dependable, and I always try to pay attention to each dog’s individual needs and behavior. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone calm and comforting around, I’ll make sure they get lots of care, attention, and love while you’re away. I have full availability Friday–Sunday, and I’m also available during the weekdays between my summer classes, especially mornings and early afternoons from 6am–1pm Monday–Thursday. I’m pretty flexible as well and will always do my best to work with schedules that are convenient for both of us. I always prioritize a dog’s safety, comfort, and trust during walks. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy level, and surroundings to help keep them safe and comfortable at all times. I’ll follow any instructions you provide, including leash preferences, walking routes, feeding or water needs, and any special care your dog may need. I also make sure dogs get plenty of attention, patience, and positive interaction during our time together.
