“Alyssa has watched my baby girl, Maple, several times while we were out of state and she’s done such a wonderful job. She has wonderful communication, is very polite and takes such good care of our dog as if she’s her own. Maple loves her so much and always looks so happy in all the photos Alyssa sends. I 100% recommend her and will be using her for all our future pet sitting as long as she’s available ❤️”

“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: 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.

About: I have been in love with animals since FOREVER. With my first pet being a bunny, I have also had the privilege to have dogs in my life and I cannot imagine life without them. Besides my personal experience, I also have professional experience working as an Animal Care Technician as well as a Veterinary Assistant. I have a dog of my own and she is my baby! I currently work full-time and am looking to use Rover as a fun way to make part-time income. I am mostly available on the weekends but some weekday evenings and mornings may be available as well. I am familiar with crate training and doggy gates. If your home has one of these, I can place your furry babies in or out depending on their schedule. If your dog uses your property for all their needs, we will have a great time running around. If your dog takes walks around the neighborhood, we'll have a blast exploring. Whatever your dogs schedule is, I am excited to be a part of it.

“Excellent communication and loving care for my pets!”

About: With over a decade of experience as a nurse and a lifetime of loving and caring for animals, I bring compassion, reliability, and attention to detail to every pet I care for. My own cat, Mellie, is 11 years old and has been my travel buddy across the country on countless assignments – so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet needs belly rubs, a calm presence, or someone confident giving medications or handling special needs, I’m here to help. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, affection, and plenty of love. Let me know how I can make your time away easier for both you and your pet! I work 4 days a week at the hospital and have been looking to get in the extra steps. I am free evenings after 5 on week days and flexible most weekends and holidays. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your animals and your space with the same care and respect I give my own. Whether it’s cats, dogs, or both, I follow your routine closely to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible—feeding, walks or playtime, medications, litter scooping, cleanup, and all the love and attention your pet needs while you're away. I’m also happy to bring in your mail, water plants, and keep an eye on your home to give you peace of mind. As a nurse, I’m detail-oriented, reliable, and understand the importance of trust when someone is caring for what matters most to you.

“Emma did a great job taking care of our cat Milo! She was very communicative and took great pictures. We’ll definitely have her watch Milo again in the future.”

About: I have always been a dog person, grew up with labs, taken care of my friends and families pets when they are out of town. I have experince with senior dogs and active iamb dogs. I am currently working from home, I am up early and like to be outside when I can, my day is flexiable and would love to have a buddy to see during the day I have a condo on the first floor ( no stairs!) with the perfect people watching windows. I keep my place cold , so great for this summer heat. I have a small back patio that is fenced in. Large grassy spots around my condo for easy bathroom access. I take my buddies for a walk first thing in the morning, and one in the evening, Through out the day they get snuggles and pets.

“Jaylynn is amazing! She did everything I asked her to do to take care of Sylvester. I can tell he had a great time with her because they played a ton at the park and was sleeping non stop after. She also takes great photos. Highly recommend her!”

About: What sets me apart is real experience with pets who need extra care, not just the easy ones. I care for both ends of the spectrum at home: a playful young kitten and an 11 year old cat who was adopted from an abusive background. Learning to build trust with a trauma history taught me to read subtle body language, recognize stress signals early, and let an animal set the pace instead of forcing interaction. That makes me especially well suited for senior pets, rescues, and anxious or guarded animals, alongside high energy kittens and puppies who just need someone who can keep up. I don’t take a one size fits all approach. I adjust my energy and handling to what each individual pet actually needs. Currently going to grad school full time and can do every evening after 6pm and also mornings on some weekdays. Free most weekends for morning and evening visits. Since I only sit in clients’ homes, my first priority is learning that space and the pet’s normal routine before anything else. I do a full walkthrough early on: locating food, medications, leashes, emergency vet info, and any hazards specific to that home, along with confirming that doors, gates, and fencing are secure. I ask detailed questions upfront about the pet’s habits, triggers, and any past experiences that affect how they respond to new people, since that shapes how I approach them from day one. With anxious or guarded pets, I don’t assume trust right away. I move slowly, let them come to me, and give them space to adjust instead of forcing interaction in an unfamiliar setting with someone new. I also stay closely attentive to a home’s existing routines rather than imposing my own, since consistency matters a lot for a pet’s sense of safety while their owner is away. If anything seems off, whether it’s a behavior change or a safety concern in the home itself, I communicate with the owner right away rather than waiting.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give to every pet. I understand that each animal has a different personality, comfort level, and routine, so I take the time to make them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m very reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I know how important trust is when someone is caring for a beloved pet. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and needs, including shy animals, high-energy dogs, and senior pets who may need a gentler approach, extra patience, or medication reminders. I focus on creating a calm, positive experience for both pets and owners by providing consistent care, updates, and lots of affection and attention. Pet care fits very well into my routine because I have a flexible part-time schedule that gives me plenty of availability throughout the week. I’m available after 5pm Monday through Thursday, available all day on Fridays, and completely open on weekends for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or extended care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any household rules or routines the pet is used to. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and exercise while also keeping the home clean, secure, and respected. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means active play, reinforcing basic routines for younger pets, or providing a calm and comforting environment for more anxious pets.

“Taylor was very punctual and communicative before, during, and after her scheduled visits with my cat. I felt very comfortable with Taylor in my home and trusted her with my babe. Highly recommend Taylor for fantastic service and reliability!”

About: I have always had dogs growing up. I always trained them from going potty outside to speaking. I have always been very patient with animals. I do work full-time at a hospital, but over nights. I am available for morning, mid and evening feds and morning, mid and afternoon walks. For my home I have a huge fenced in backyard. We have 3 small dogs that get along with other dogs. At clients home I am always respectful of everyone's home. I will clean up after their pets if they have accidents and give them bath if needed.

“Nicole is compassionate and caring with our precious kitty. She not only helps love on our pet but also is a great communicator and very organized about her visits. We appreciate her soooo much! 100/10 recommend!”

About: Animals are quite literally my whole life. My parents brought home a puppy a few months before I was born, and we grew up side by side. Caring for him was part of my daily chore chart, and he lived to be sixteen! The moment I moved out on my own, I rescued Bear, a Pomeranian who was on the euthanasia list at a local shelter. He lived to be almost 19 years old—a milestone my friends and family attribute to the way I cared for him. That experience also provided deep, hands-on familiarity with senior pet care. After he passed last Fall, my house was just too quiet. I welcomed a new puppy, Dash, within a few weeks. Raising him brought a whole new set of skills as I've navigated puppyhood from teething and potty training to post-neuter recovery. My obsession isn't just about dogs, but all animals. I've driven an injured bird to a local rescue center after finding a little guy in my yard, and was elated when I learned he'd made a full recovery. I also regularly fish fruit flies out of wine glasses and bees out of pools; watching them shake off and fly away brings me so much joy. Finally, I've been a pescatarian for over 14 years. A decision I made largely because I could no longer stand the thought of animals being in pain. Animals seem to feel that, as they always gravitate in my direction (peep the photo of my little bee friend!). You can rest assured, time with your fuzzy kiddo is more than a slot on the cal for me. Being around animals always brings pure joy to my day. I am a freelance live event producer and graphic designer. Most of my work is on the road, which means when I'm home, I'm *home*. And after being a Rover customer for close to a decade, I'm excited to offer the same care and attention to others' fuzzy kiddos as well. 🥰 I have a spacious, one-bedroom apartment where the common area is secured by three latching gates. These create space between the bedroom, the bathroom, and the entryway. This is not to say pets aren't allowed beyond those spaces; they're in place to support active supervision and prevent an adventurous escape. 😉 My apartment is one of 25 units per floor and is on a higher, completely enclosed floor--accessible by elevator or stairs (both behind closed doors). My front door automatically locks behind me, making it very secure. The complex includes a very spacious, fully enclosed, outdoor dog park that includes a working, pup-height water fountain. It's accessible only by residential key cards and is rinsed daily to keep it hygienic and safe.

“Ariana did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Max. She was responsible, caring, spent lots of time playing with him, and made sure he was always well looked after. I’m very grateful for her help. If you’re looking for someone reliable and who truly loves dogs, she’s the one to pick.”
