About: I want to open our home for dogs that need to feel loved and comforted while their family is away. I have had a pet most of my life. Different breeds from a small terrier to large dogs. Currently we have an older lab that loves everyone. We choose a Labrador after training puppies with Guide Dogs for the Blind for 5years. I like fun energetic pets as well as slow moving or special needs. I will take pictures and videos so you can see how your family pet is doing. We retired to Green Valley 13 years ago. One of us is always home, but I will be the primary care given for your pet. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to care for your precious family member. My husband and I are retired and home full time.With a fenced back yard for your pet. And many areas to walk . If you have an early riser, I'm up at 5:30 daily. Our home has an enclosed front court yard. And a 3ft6inch brick wall in back. I keep only plants I can see under for the safety of my animals.
“We could not be happier with Daniel! He took such good care of our two dogs. He sent video updates to help put us at ease while we were away, and our dogs absolutely loved him! We now call this Camp Daniel lol, and we will absolutely be using his services again and again. Thank you Daniel for loving and spoiling our furry kids!!”
“Terri was wonderful pet sitting for Bridget! She catered to her food needs & even cooked green beans which Bridget loved. Although Bridget had some accidents inside, Terri was very kind about it. She frequently kept me updated via text messages.”
“Rachel was awesome with my Chihuahua weezy! I cannot thank her enough for being so loveable and attentive. I felt at ease the moment I met her, and weezy felt at ease with her. I received pictures from weezy throughout his stay and that made me even more comfortable and that he was good and enjoying his stay with Rachel.”
“Megan and her family were amazing with hosting our puppy Zeek. This was our first time leaving him so it was great getting updates and pictures from her. She kept my mind on ease knowing he was in good hands. She is very quick with responding to questions and updates. Our pup Zeek enjoyed his time with Megan and her family.”
“Mary is Absolutely Wonderful! She is very warm, friendly, flexible, and knowledgeable. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dogs in her capable and loving hands for a week, and when I came to pick up my pups I could tell they had a great experience with her and Hamish. One of my dogs can be a picky eater, and Mary took extra steps to ensure Charlie ate well and stayed healthy. She is a great communicator who treats her pet guests like furry family. I highly recommend Mary to any pet owners who are looking for a tremendously caring, considerate, and responsible sitter!”
“Teel is a wonderful caretaker for your fur baby! I left my precious feline with her for two weeks and she cared for him as if he were hers. She shared pics daily and I could tell that Romeo loved being there and being with her. I could enjoy my vacation and be assured that my cat was having a good time as well and being well cared for. Don't hesitate to trust your fur baby to Teel!”
“I would love to rate Nadolyn as a 5 star caregiver. She cared for my Frenchie Winnie while I was out of town. She babied her as if she knew her for years. She pays attention to all the details and goes above and beyond what was expected. Nadolyn was easy and wonderful to deal with. I will continue to use her services and highly recommend her.🩷”
“Rue already misses Jacqueline. What a fun time she has and we are kept up to date daily on her activities. A very loving fun time Rue had. We most definitely will use her again! We may even have to book some intermittent meet ups. Rue was very sad to leave but happy to be home”
“Very happy with my first time using rover. My girls were both happy and well cared for. She has the perfect yard. Thank you again Kirsten for taking such good care of them. Highly recommend❤”
About: My home has a fenced in yard and is located between the golf resort and the village. I have had 3 border collies and dog sit for friends and family. I am very calm and disciplined with pets and I feel I can keep your training and eating habits on track. I am at home and rarely leave Tubac during the day. My house is set up for dogs and I enjoy their company. The walled yard is 4 feet high - my casita has a dog door if needed. If you have special diets, habits, furniture or other rules, I will follow them. I only take one household of dog(s) at a time - unless you personally have more than one. I will never contact a vet without your permission unless I cannot reach you.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over three years. Since I was 10 I have owned my own dogs but I also have taken care of neighbors, friends, and family’s dogs to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. My priority is ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and well-exercised. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just some extra attention, I treat every pet like my own! I am currently a college student & I do work for my families business. I love going in long walks myself every single day & would love to do it with an adorable dog. I always ensure that pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy in my care. Whether in their home or on a walk, I pay close attention to their needs, behaviors, and routines. I follow any specific instructions from owners, such as feeding schedules, leash preferences, and medication if needed. Safety is my top priority—I always use secure leashes, avoid unsafe areas, and make sure pets get the right amount of exercise and rest. My goal is to provide a loving and stress-free experience for every pet I look after.
“Michelle was awesome and very responsive. She watched our senior dog when we went to Nogales for some dental work for the day. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I speak fluent English and Intermediate Spanish (this comes up a lot!) As a fellow traveler and pet owner, I know how important it is to have the right person caring for your fur babies. Each pet we visit first, to ensure we are a good fit for them and for you. We are a local family run business, a business built on trust and reliability. We ensure not only is your pet happy, that your house is cleaner than you left it. It's all part of our service. If your dog is staying in our home, we will treat them as our own; including snuggles, play time, walks and more. I can administer medications, provide fun activities and ensure your pet is as happy as can be while you're away. This is what I do, besides home services. I have a very flexible schedule. I'm open 7 days a week and happy to work with your schedule and needs. I offer in home care for small to medium size dogs that get along with cats. My house is completely fenced with a potty area for pups. We NEVER leave dogs unattended, whether at your home or ours. At your home I follow your instructions to the tee. I also ensure your home is accident free and as clean, if not cleaner than you left it!
About: Hi! Available for Santa Cruz and Cochise Counties, including Ft Huachuca. I grew up on a farm, worked at a vet clinic, and have always had animals and pets when my life permitted. I have a passion for our furry "family members" as well as learning all different types of animal behavior. Dogs, cats, horses, cows, donkeys, fish, and even took care of a camel a time or two. My professional and athletic life has taken me around the world, and frankly, caring for pets of family, friends and neighbors throughout the years has still always been a most gratifying highlight! I have the patience and energy to match dogs of all temperaments, so let me know how I can support you and your family! If my profile is visible, it means I have plenty of time to help out with your furry family members, be it pet-sitting, walking, or just checking in on them. I have a highly-flexible schedule and a vehicle large enough to crate/transport if needed. I live on a large farm but do prefer to keep them leashed when walking (until I know they heel well AND to keep YOU more confident). I'm flexible on this based on consults with you. They would sleep indoors, and if you prefer, I could easily crate as well. Non-smoking home. You can bet I'll treat them as my own!

Candida R.
“I have been using Candida as my pet sitter for my three cats for four months now. I can unequivocally say she is perhaps the best pet sitter I have had to date. She takes care of my fur babies like her own. The litter boxes are always clean, water dishes consistently have fresh water and the house is always spotless when we come back from vacation and the cats are happy. Candida provides daily updates with pictures. Whenever we go away, we can relax and not stress. We know our cats and home are in good hands. If you want an outstanding pet sitter, you won’t find a better one out there than Candida.”
Laura K.
“Laura is the best with our two goldendoodles. They think of her as their alpha sister. She walks them. She spends time with them. She takes care of them with all of their medical needs and they absolutely adore her. She could be gone a year and when she comes to be with them, they instantly go nuts because they’re so happy to see her. she’s our number one choice with our boys.”
