House Sitting Rillito

About: I've been taking care of pets for neighbors and family friends for the past 4 years, and loved every second of it! I've been able to cuddle with puppies while watching a movie, wrestle with some teens pups and begrudgingly let them win, and I've taken calm walks around the backyard with a senior dog. I'm currently doing school online, so my days are spent mostly at home, perfect for house sitting and sunset walks! On weekends, my schedule is completly free! I do have some Sunday morning commitments, as I work childcare for my church, but it has a flexible schedule for whatever you or your furry friend might need! I love to match the energy of pet and owner, so I can always provide the best experience. I'm able to lounge with some calm cats or play in the yard with some energetic puppies. I can take walks around your neighborhood, or go for drives if that's your pets vibe. In the end, if the pet is happy then so am I 😊

“She arrived on time, did everything we asked. She sent great pictures and went on may walks and spent time outside with him. Our dog loved her and we would definitely have her house sit again!!”

“Kylee D did a great job house and kitty sitting while we were out of town for a week. She was responsive and gave us lots of updates while we were gone. We would not hesitate to recommend her.”

Gail R.

“Kaitlin was fantastic and on time. I will be using her services two more times in the up coming week and my pup Ava and I are blessed to have found her on such a short notice. She provided pictures and took Ava down to the beach with our place we are staying at having direct beach access. Thank you again and we look forward to seeing you again in a few days.”

“Robert was the perfect choice for me. I needed to go to the emergency room, and I had a friend who took Bernie for 1 day. I put in my request and Robert responded immediately. Since I was in the ER he met with my friend, and she gave him all of Bernie's needs. After meeting with Robert, she said that she liked him so much that she would not hesitate to use him for her 2 cream goldens. Robert made 2 great impressions on one stop. I would use him every chance I get. He did light housework and sent pics of Bernie and made sure Bernie was a happy boy. Thank you Robert.”

“Kenna was amazing during her three day/night housesit with our dog Nacho. She was punctual, made us feel at ease right away, and sent us periodic updates and pictures of Nacho which we really appreciated. We would definitely invite Kenna back to dogsit for us.”

“We had Tim and Kate take care of our French Bull dogs and Boston Terrier puppy for 9 days at our home. During that time our Ftench bull dog had a stomach obstruction and had to be rushed to emergency center and we were 3,000 miles away. It was stressful for us but Tim was amazing! He communicated every step and went above and beyond. We came home to happy healthy dogs! We will continue to use Tim and Kate and feel very lucky we found them through Rover!”

About: 🐾 Experienced, Reliable Pet Sitter | 16+ Arizona Sits & Repeat Clients Hi, I’m Zandra! I’m a calm, dependable, and genuinely animal-loving pet sitter with 9+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, reptiles, and other pets for friends, family and acquaintances. Over the past year, I’ve completed 14+ pet sits throughout Arizona, including Flagstaff, Phoenix, and Tucson, and I’ve been fortunate enough to have several families ask me to come back and care for their pets again. Building that kind of trust with both pets and their people is one of my favorite parts of what I do. I work remotely, so I’m able to spend a lot of time at home with the pets in my care. I love having animals as my companions throughout the day, whether that means a morning walk, playtime between work, a midday potty break, or simply having a furry friend curled up nearby while I work. I’m naturally calm and patient, and I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and routine. Some pets want constant attention and adventure, while others are happiest with a quiet house, a predictable schedule, and someone nearby. I’m happy to meet them where they are. My long-term goal is to make pet sitting my full-time career, continuing to build relationships with wonderful families and expanding my experience to eventually include horse sitting and care for larger animals. 🏡 In-Home Pet Sitting When I stay in your home, your pets are my priority. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible and provide the care, companionship, and attention they’re accustomed to. This can include: • Feeding and fresh water • Potty breaks and walks • Playtime and enrichment • Lots of companionship and cuddles • Medication and special-care instructions when discussed in advance • Maintaining normal feeding and sleep routines • Bringing mail/packages inside • Watering plants and basic home care • Keeping your home clean, tidy, and secure I understand that leaving your pets can be stressful. My goal is to make the experience as easy as possible by keeping their routine familiar and providing you with peace of mind while you're away. 🐶🐱 Drop-In Visits I also offer drop-in visits for pets who are more comfortable staying in their own home. I’ll make sure they have everything they need while you're away, including food, water, potty breaks, playtime, affection, and companionship. 🐶 Dog Walking Seasonal dog walks are available October through March. Because Arizona summers can be extremely hot, I only offer dog walking during the cooler months when outdoor walks are safer and more comfortable for dogs. I tailor walks to each dog’s age, energy level, personality, and comfort level. My goal is to provide a safe, enjoyable walk with plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. Because I work remotely, I’m able to spend significant time at home during pet sits. I enjoy working alongside my animal companions and being available throughout the day for attention, potty breaks, play, and cuddles. I believe great pet care starts with creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment. Whether I’m caring for your pets in their home or taking them on a walk, I follow their established routines and pay close attention to their individual needs, personality, and comfort level. For in-home stays, I treat your home with the same respect I would want for my own. I keep doors, gates, and other entry points secure, make sure pets are safely inside when they should be, and follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, allergies, behavioral needs, and household routines. I’m attentive to potential safety concerns such as weather, unfamiliar surroundings, other animals, and anything that could cause a pet stress or injury. For Arizona dog walks, I only offer walks from **October through March** because cooler temperatures make outdoor exercise safer and more comfortable. I also understand that some pets need time to warm up to a new person. I never force interaction. I let pets approach me at their own pace and build trust through patience, consistency, positive attention, and respecting their boundaries. Your pets’ safety and well-being always come first. My goal is for them to feel secure and cared for, while you have peace of mind knowing that both your pets and your home are in responsible hands.

“I had to go out of town at the last minute. A friend suggested Rover. Ander was available for a last minute stay. We met to see how Ander and Willy would be. I was very surprised at how comfortable Willy was. I am grateful for the care and attention he gave to Willy. I will happily be a repeat customer. I also appreciate that he only has one “family” of pets at a time. Thank you Ander for going out of your way to help us.”

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.

“Loved Alison! She was very responsive, kept me updated with nice pics and my cat & dog seemed super happy/calm when I got home (in the past they had seemed anxious). A testament to her caring vibes!”

“Annette was super fantastic with Shammy. She kept Shammy busy and Shammy was very happy. We will def use her again. She is sweet and compassionate with dogs, and very responsible.”

About: Hi! My name is Josephine! I am a licensed veterinary technician who has worked in a variety of animal related fields for the past 5 years. I am comfortable with various species, sizes, and special needs animals (medical/behavioral). I am proficient in offering specialized care if needed such as insulin injections, subcutaneous fluids, oral and transdermal medication administration and so on! I currently work for the zoo here in town and enjoy pet sitting/walking as a way to connect with my community. Since I do work full-time, I will be able to do a quick stop in before work in the morning, and during my lunch break. After work in the evening I am able to spend as much time with your pet as you are comfortable with! My days off are Sun/Mon so I am more available then! I am willing to adapt to anything you need! Lets talk about what your pet is used to, and what we need to do to keep your pet safe and happy!

“Scottie was fantastic! I reached out to her only a couple of days before the start of the sit because my scheduled sitter canceled due to a family emergency. She was incredibly responsive, kind and accommodating. The pets immediately loved her. She provided excellent care and sent many updates/photos. Incredibly grateful! We will definitely invite her back for future sits!”

About: I understand the responsibility and trust that comes with caring for someone’s pet. I’m someone who takes commitments seriously, pays attention to details, and believes that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and consistency. My background has taught me how to be dependable, organized, and calm in unexpected situations. I work in an environment where communication, problem solving, and taking care of people’s needs are part of my everyday routine, and I bring that same mindset into caring for pets. I’m also someone who enjoys staying active and spending time outdoors. I understand that many dogs need more than just a quick walk they need attention, exercise, and someone who is willing to be present with them. I enjoy walking, being outside, and creating a positive experience for pets while keeping them safe. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether it’s a young pet that needs extra patience and attention, an energetic dog that needs exercise and playtime, or a senior pet that needs a calmer approach, I’m willing to learn their needs and provide care that makes them feel safe and comfortable. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being treated with respect, attention, and genuine care while they’re away. Pet care would fit well into my routine because I’m someone who values responsibility, consistency, and taking care of things the right way. I currently have a structured schedule and I’m used to managing responsibilities, solving problems, and making sure people can count on me. Even though I haven’t had a pet in a long time, I understand how important pets are to their families. I know they are not just animals, they are part of someone’s home and daily life. I would treat every pet with patience, attention, and respect, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and building trust with others. I would bring the same level of commitment and care that I bring to everything else I do into taking care of someone’s pet. When caring for a pet in my client’s home, I would treat their home and their pet with the same respect and attention I would want for my own\. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I would take the time to learn their schedule, feeding instructions, walking preferences, and any special care they require. I believe consistency is very important for pets, especially when their owners are away\. I would make sure they receive attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and a safe environment while following all instructions provided by the owner. I’m someone who is organized, responsible, and pays attention to details\. My goal would be to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being cared for by someone who is dependable and genuinely wants them to feel comfortable and happy.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals through out my life, from cats and dogs, to raising animals on a farm. I enjoy being around animals and look forward to meeting yours! Im not currently working and I am available anytime to watch your fur babies. Morning, afternoon and evenings. Over night stays as well if needed. Communication is a priority and I will provide frequent updates with photos/videos. This has allowed my clients to see first hand how safe, comfortable, and secure their pets feel in my care. My clients often express their peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, understood, and well cared for while away

“We hired Maya for a house/pet sit for our two dogs and two cats. She was very communicative during her stay, giving us daily updates. She kept the house clean and tidy and kept our animals happy and fed!”
