House Sitting Picacho

“I can’t say enough good things about Anne and Joaquin! From the first meet and greet before our trip, we knew our dogs were going to be in the BEST hands. They are very detail oriented, thorough and truly care about the well-being of every dog they watch. All 3 of our dogs have very different personalities and levels of care, and they really made sure to get to know them individually. They gave regular updates and photos, and even left our newest dog (who’s very skiddish) a little award for being such a good boy. It was adorable! We HIGHLY recommend them, but very selfishly want them to also be available in the future when we go out of town. Thanks so much for taking care of our boys like they were your own!”

“Christopher is amazing, kind and sweet. We were very apprehensive of leaving our fur baby with anyone, but Christopher made us feel at ease immediately. He offered to do an initial meet and greet, he was patient with our pet until she warmed up to him. Transitions and meeting new people are difficult for our pet, but it didn’t take her very long to get acclimated with Chris and give him kisses/ licks. He responded promptly and sent updated pictures of our baby. He kept our home clean. He is very respectful and prompt.”

About: I am passionate about animals and I am working towards a degree in Bio-sciences with a goal of becoming a veterinarian ultimately. I have been caring for animals since I was 8. I am comfortable with all temperaments, and animals. I'm a online student at ASU so I'll have plenty of time to care for your animals. I'm available at all times and days with appropriate notice. I have a fenced yard and 1 dog friendly dog at this time. I would prefer to offer services directly to my clients home where possible other arrangements should be discussed in advance.

About: With over 15 years of pet care experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, medication, and lots of love, I treat every dog like my own. I currently work part-time and am unavailable on Mondays and Wednesdays until 5:30 PM. However, I’m available for dog walks any day of the week. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I treat them with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. I follow all care instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, administering medication, or sticking to their routine. During walks, I ensure your pet stays safe, gets plenty of exercise, and has a fun, enriching experience. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands.

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, including puppies and high energy dogs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I focus on keeping dogs safe, comfortable, active, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pup enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or a calm environment, I’ll make sure they feel right at home I work a consistent schedule and make time daily for pet care, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention. I understand how important routines are for dogs, so I do my best to keep pets comfortable, active, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m reliable, communicative, and flexible when possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and playtime. I’m experienced with different dog personalities and energy levels, and I’ll always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions carefully

About: Hi! My name is Kelly, and I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I grew up with Giant to medium-sized dogs, including Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Mastiffs, Labrador Retrievers, and Australian Heelers. I've also cared for smaller breeds such as Pomeranians, Chihuahuas, and Maltese through pet sitting and dog walking. My caregiving style is patient, calm, and playful. When meeting a new pet, I believe in letting them set the pace. Rather than forcing interaction, I give dogs space to become comfortable, let them approach me on their own, and allow them to learn my scent and presence naturally. This approach has helped me build trust with both outgoing and shy dogs. I enjoy spending time outdoors with pets, whether that's a morning walk, playtime, or simply relaxing together. I have also volunteered with the Pinal County Animal Shelter, where I helped walk and socialize dogs. Additionally, I have worked with Maricopa County's Animal Shelter for their "Tails around town" program, where I would take out and care for adoptive animals for the day, allowing them to socialize and meet their potential new families! Through both volunteer work and personal experience, I've become comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. I'm currently a student at Northern Arizona University and have professional experience in caregiving and service-oriented roles, which have strengthened my reliability, communication skills, and attention to detail. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care in their own home, I will treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I'm available whenever your furry family needs me! I'm currently home from college and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to build my routine around the pets and families I work with. Whether it's early morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening visits, or overnight stays, I'm able to adapt my schedule to meet your pet's needs. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and building trust with them over time. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being treated like family. I try to make a pet's time away from their owner feel as normal as possible. Every animal is different, so I don't believe in taking the exact same approach with every pet. Some dogs want to play immediately, while others need time to warm up. Some cats want attention right away, while others prefer to observe from across the room first. When meeting a new pet, I usually let them come to me. I give them space to get comfortable, learn my scent, and interact at their own pace. I've found that being patient and calm helps build trust much faster than forcing attention or excitement. Having owned and cared for breeds ranging from Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, Mastiffs, and Heelers to Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, and Maltese, I'm comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pet enjoys a morning walk, playtime in the yard, or simply having someone nearby while you're away, I'm happy to meet them where they're at. I also understand that I'm not just caring for your pet but I'm a guest in your home. I make an effort to keep things tidy, follow your instructions carefully, and provide updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Kaitlin did an incredible job with my 2 dogs. Constantly kept me informed as to how they were doing and sent multiple pictures every day. The boys were well taken care of. Took care of everything in the house and did a great job of walking the dogs both morning and night. Would definitely recommend her looking for someone to stay with their dogs.”

“Shanna was awesome with my two fur babies! She took the time to listen to me explain their quirks and personalities and gave a full report on how things went. Will definitely be calling her again!”

Markita W.

“I felt comfortable right away when I met Chris at meet and greet. She was very attentive, and asked great questions. She did not disappoint! She took excellent care of my pets! I highly recommend Chris and I will hire her again in the future.”

About: I have had dogs all my life. Growing up our family had Boston terriers and German Shepherd. I grew up in Minnesota. My husband and I moved to Arizona in March after he retired from his job that he was at for 31 years. We are both still working. However I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. As you can see we have 3 dogs, we have two Mastiffs Kodak and Harlie Girl they are our gentle giants, crazy little clowns. Ok maybe not so little lol, Kodak is our talker and Harlie is our bulldozer. They see themselves has lap dogs, Neat story on why we named them, we got married in Kodak TN at Thunderhead Harley Davidson. Our sweet boy Ruger is a laid back man he too is a talker and loves to play ball. My husband had Ruger before we meet but he has become my boy also trust me if I move all 3 of them are up and going with me. They are my little pack. They are our family, our four legged children. ❤️❤️❤️❤️. My back ground just doesn’t stem from having animals. I have also worked in veterinary clinics and dog and cat boarding facilities and dog training facility. I work from home my schedule is flexible.I’m available everyday during the week. Our weekends we our out on our motorcycle. We belong to the CVMA I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs. They would love to meet new friends also. Have some play dates with other dogs

About: My home has never been without pets. I currently have 4 loving dogs of my own. They are a mixed breed pack of all ages. I care for one senior dog at the moment. I’ve raised several litters of puppies and found them great homes. I was a preschool teacher before so I know patience better than most. Animals have a big place in my heart. I run a business from home so I have super flexible hours and availability to tend to any and all care needs. Your pet will be my priority. I prefer to care for the pets in their own home and familiar areas. I find this gives them a good sense that nothing is changing and reduces stress for the animal. I am very familiar with crates and crate trained animals. I pay close attention to instructions given for food and medications. I will spend time with them not just drop by for 5 minutes, giving love, attention, exercise(if permitted).

“Robert was wonderful! He was on time, very kind and took special care with our elderly and blind dachshund. She needs extra attention on walks and outside around our pool, he was very patient and understanding with this. He provided photos and detailed updates on how she was doing. Our house was spotless and our dog was calm and content when we arrived back home. We will be booking Rob for future dates.”

“Robyn was amazing. My fur babies loved her. She took wonderful care of them. I was extremely happy and relieved. I could actually enjoy my time away knowing that they were in very capable hands. Robin also left my place cleaner then I left it. She is exceptional.”

“I had super anxiety about leaving my dogs with someone we didnt know. Danny did more than 100% of taking care of my furbabies. I would recommend him again and again. He is trustworthy and loves animals. He sent me pictures and videos of the dogs because he knew how much anxiety I had. The next time I need a sitter ot someone I know I will be contacting Danny!!!!”

About: Respecting your home and understanding that it’s your pets home is most important to me. I love meeting new furry friends, in my past I’ve house sat, dog sat, and cat sat many times. I will respect your wishes on how you prefer care. I work full time at Mesa La-Z-Boy. It’s an hour drive. I leave for work 8:45, and get home usually around 6:30-7 at the latest. I can come to your home before work and check in (walk, feed, ect) and again after work. I’m open to staying over night to keep an eye as well. Then I’m off on Mondays and Tuesdays. Depending on what you’re looking for I can make myself available to you more. Anything I can do to take stress off your shoulders. I will give your pet the care it needs and do what it takes to make them comfortable. That’s what I’m here for! I take time to learn more about our pets and their needs so everyone is safe and protected.

“I can’t say enough good things about Ava and her mom! Ava’s mom watched our two dogs while we were away, and she went above and beyond to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Our dogs have severe anxiety, and one of them is a senior dog who needs daily medication, so leaving them is never easy. She was so patient and caring with them, even when they were a lot to handle. One would sleep on her head at night, and the other wouldn’t leave her side and would whine anytime she walked away or tried to do anything. Instead of getting frustrated, she would stop what she was doing to comfort her or include her. She also sent us so many pictures and videos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We know our dogs have separation anxiety, but honestly, I think we do too! 😂 This was our first time using Ava and her mom, and we will absolutely use them again. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for your pets like their own.”

“Kristina house-sat for us on very short notice. We have 4 dogs and a cat. Two of the dogs and the cat have medications that need to be given twice a day, and one of the dogs is a picky eater. When Kristina came to meet the animals, she sat down on the floor and took the time to let them warm up to her. We left her with a LONG list of instructions. She was very responsive the entire time we were away when we texted her to check in, and let us know immediately when there any issues, like that one dog not eating one night. She sent us pictures of all of our guys each night. When we got home, everyone was happy and the house was very clean - not a requirement! We definitely recommend Kristina and will use her again.”

“Joseph was an awesome sitter for my babies this week. He was extremely respectful of my home and took the best care of my babies.”

About: I’ve had English bulldogs for 10 years. I haven’t met a dog I didn’t love. I can administer most meds with instructions. I’ll care for your dog as if it were my own and she’s spoiled! I work full-time but mostly remote, so I’m home a lot. I can ensure your dog’s needs are met on a daily basis, they’re the best companions. I have a fenced yard and a small area with turf for potty breaks. I live near a dog park and can take them there, weather permitting. I consider dogs a part of the household so they’re allowed everywhere but I’ll also follow your lead if you have specific instructions.

“Amy was great! She updated us on how Billy was doing often and sent us lots of pictures while we were away. We absolutely would have her watch our dog again!”
