“Steve was on time, very professional and pleasant, and most importantly -- Cooper liked him! Cooper can be shy around men and seems often to prefer women, but Steve won him over and they got along just fine. Great job!”

“Maggie was absolutely amazing! If I could give her 6 stars I would. From the moment we met her we could tell how caring she was and how much she loves animals. She was so good with our little chihuahua and was amazing about sending updates with photos and videos. We are so thankful we found Maggie and hope to work with her again in the future. If you are looking for someone to take good care of your fur baby, look no further! Maggie is hands down the best!❤️”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was in elementary school. I grew up with golden retriever, golden doodles and border collies on our farm. Now I have my own golden retriever and bernedoodle that are my best companions. We love to go on long walks and travel to all the state and national parks! I’m happy to take dog walking clients on weekends and holidays. I work Monday through Thursday otherwise normal business hours in the clinic from 7-5. I love playing fetch with the pups and cuddle time. I like to do basic training such as sit, stay, roll over, lay down. My bernedoodle is high energy so I’m used to exercising dogs and taking long walks.

About: Hi! I've had my cat Olive for 11 years and my dog Bel for 3 years. I have also taken care of close to 70 foster animals mostly kittens, with a few medical fosters, and behavioral issues along the way. I have taken courses on behavioral training for dogs as my own dog is reactive towards dogs, so I am very familiar with dog reactivity. I currently run a small 1 man business from my home and have control over my schedule to provide care to other animals regularly. I also foster other animals from time to time. My own dog is reactive and high energy and needs 3 walks a day usually with a lot of play. My cat is a large maincoon that requires a strict diet and care regimen to keep her pre-diabetes in check.

About: I have experience taking care of boarding dogs and cats at an animal hospital. I worked for them for a little over a year and have gotten lots of experience with dogs and cats. I used to raise puppies and train them how to sit and have manners for about two years with my parent. I have dog sitting experience and house sitting experience. I also want to note that I am a full time college student, my schedule is below for more information. Just keep scrolling and you will see “schedule” section. Thank you :) I am currently going to school at the UofA full time during the weekdays (my class schedule is listed below keep reading) and would be available most days to come and play with the animals for 30 minutes to an hour in the afternoons and overnight sitting. And on weekends I would be free to play with and walk the animals as needed. Class schedule: Mon 1pm-2pm Tue 9:30am-1pm then 3pm-5pm Wed 9am-2pm then 4pm-5pm Thur 9:30am-4pm Fri 1pm-2pm I do also have a job at the animal shelter for part time. That work schedule will vary but will be no more the 4-6 hours a day. Likely to be on the weekends to avoid conflict with school :) For my personal home, I will not be able to board any pets. Although I am very safe and responsible. My person pet uses a crate just for her safety when I am gone. I am good with crate training as needed for your pets as well. I make sure I clean up after every day and leave the house as clean as I can before you arrive back home to your happy animals!

“Alayne was an exceptional caretaker for my pup while our family dealt with a tough surgical recovery. She gave our dog excellent attention and great walks when we were being pulled in a few different directions. We are so lucky to have crossed paths with Alayne!”

About: We recently lost our beloved dog, and due to frequent travel we are unable to get another for a little while. We would love to take care of your pets as we would our own, so you can rest easy that they will be cared for while you are away. We both have many years of experience caring for pets, and are comfortable with all sizes, old and young. I work from home during the week, and can provide lots of love and outdoor time as needed. We are active people, and are happy to take your pets on hikes and runs if that’s their thing, or we can keep it mellow. If your pet stays with us, we have a fully fenced yard with a shaded porch area that they are welcome to hang out in when it’s cooler outside. We don’t have any other pets on the property, so can give your pets all of our attention.

I prioritize safe, structured walks, positive interaction, and maintaining your dog's normal routine as closely as possible. I'm comfortable with leash training reinforcement, medications administration, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, or extra patience and care, I provide dependable, knowledgeable support so you can feel confident they're in good hands while you're away. I currently work full time as a Certified Veterinary Technician, so I am frequently available for early-morning and evening care.

I'm committed to communicating clearly and planning ahead so your pet's needs are always covered with gaps or stress. If you have specific timing needs, feel free to reach out - I do my best to accommodate recurring and flexible schedules whenever possible. I provide all pet care exclusively in the client's home, where pets feel most secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. This helps reduce stress and allows me to maintain their normal routine with minimal disruptions.

My goal is to keep your pet calm, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

About: Hey there. I have always been an animal lover, having pets since a young age. I had a dog of my own for 15 years until he passed. I now have one dog and one cat who have a great life that I’m honestly jealous of! I would love to watch your pets and take care of them while you’re away. As far as boarding, please be sure your pet is comfortable with other dogs and cats. My animals are very friendly and accepting of any other animals I have brought into my house. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet(s)! I work from home full time, so your pet will be taken care of 24/7. Frequent potty breaks and lots of play time. If there is ever a time I will need to be away from the house for an extended period of time, I will communicate that with you. Your pet will always get plenty of attention. If I’m boarding, they will get lots of playtime with my dog both in my fenced backyard and inside.

My bunny at home gets frequent attention and care. I know how hard it is to leave my pet while I'm travelling and be worried about how he's doing. I'll send tons of photos and updates so you know your pet is happy and healthy! I pay lots of attention to the details and will make sure your pet has everything it needs, and keep things clean and happy in their environment!

“Abriana is fantastic, very patient. Abriana took as much time as my guy Otis needed to get comfortable. It worked :). Otis, who is extremely skittish, warmed up and even sat on Abriana’s lap!!!! Thank you, Abriana!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from all ages since I was 14! I love to find new trails, parks, and of course local coffee shops that give out the best pup cups. I will treat your pet like they are my own. I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. The days I work during the week are variable but I also can request to not work days that you’d want your pet with me if given enough notice. I can accept your pets on the weekend as well. I have plenty of space for your dog in my house. I do have a large crate if needed. It’s currently just me and my husband who live here. I don’t have any other pets at the moment. I can easily take your dog(s) on walks in the neighborhood or drive to a nearby park. We have a nice fenced backyard space so your pets can roam outside as well.

About: I’ve grown up in a household where pets are family. I believe in making all fur babies lives full of love and enrichment and commit myself everyday to being the best dog mom I can be. Having a dog of my own, I’ve already committed to 3 outings a day so bonus if you’d like our dogs to meet and they can interact. We wake up early to catch that crisp morning air, and now that summer is upon us, late night walks have become very exciting. I’m always looking for the best/safest routes and parks! My 3 year old fur baby loves the extra company. I am able to provided pet care in the clients home. I follow all instructions given to me and will always stay in communication. I never have dogs off leash outside of the home and I am trained with commands and body language.

I would be happy to care for you pet and treat him or her with the respect, love and attention they deserve. I have some experience training aggressive and energetic dogs at an obedience school. Breeds included pitbulls, bull dogs, mastifs, and pinschers. I also have several years of experience working with foster dogs and rescue organizations. I have rehabilitated dogs, mostly adult and seniors, from neglectful situations, living on the street and/or intense medical conditions. I will be a patient care giver for your fur baby and understand that pet sitting is never a cookie cutter situation. I also have experience with caring for cats and kittens. I am currently a full time remote student. My drop ins times are extremely flexible. If you’re a returning client or need a full day of care vs just drop ins, please reach out. I always want to give your pet space and the choice to come to me. I also want to stay consistent with their routines, habits, and training.

About: I’ve grown up with both big and small dogs and have been caring for animals for years. I’ve volunteered at the Humane Society, where I helped with feeding, walking, socializing, and basic grooming. I’ve also provided dog walking and pet care for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m very friendly, patient, and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’ve also had experience with exotic animals, rodents (hamsters, rats, bunnies) and snakes, as well as chickens! I’m currently unemployed and actively looking for work, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available most days and times, with the exception of Tuesday and Thursday mornings when I attend classes at Pima Community College. Outside of that, I can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, boarding, and extended care, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I closely follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions provided by owners. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and treated with patience and kindness. I’m attentive to behavior, health, and comfort, and I communicate clearly with owners so they can feel confident their pet is in good hands.

About: I have had pets in my care for over 30 years and now work primarily as a pet and house sitter. I prioritize a pet’s needs while their loved ones are away. I do not have pets of my own so I can be available for other's pets. I'm comfortable, experienced, and punctual with medicating both dogs and cats using a variety of methods. I have experience with animals outside of dogs and cats. Please mention in your request the additional pet and their needs. I have cared for snakes, tortoises, fish, lizards, guinea pigs, and rats so far! I work full time as a pet care giver and dog walker. I have no pets of my own as I find that way I can be more available for other's pets. I’m open to house sitting at the pet’s home overnight for multi day stays as well as coming to the pet’s home for regular walks and play sessions. I do not charge for the initial 30 minute Meet & Greet. I’m happy to meet for an extended Meet & Greet or have multiple Meet & Greets depending on your pet’s needs. Any extended or additional Meet & Greets will be booked as a drop-in visit through Rover. I am willing to travel outside of my listed parameters for an additional charge. During multi-day house sitting stays, I will typically spend the first 24 hours at the house with the pet(s) to guarantee comfortability. I am able to give regular updates to pet owners that include wellness checks, photos, videos, and FaceTime when communicated and scheduled prior. I prioritize stress free time when pets are away from home and away from their family by treating every pet with kindness, love, and respect.
