“Max the collie had a great time being cared for by Tom and taking a walk with him while I was away for a photography workshop in Norway.. He is a great dog sitter and I could enjoy my trip without worries.”


“Brandon was top notch with large dogs that can’t always be the easiest to work with. His daily feedback was incredible and helped ease the concerns we had of being away. 10/10 would recommend and would use again.”


About: Hello I love animals especially dogs I have lived with dogs as long as I can remember, growing up my family had many dogs. I have vast experience in the little things about dogs like what they can and can’t eat or when they are not feeling well or if they’re not comfortable etc. I’m the proud owner of two beautiful huskys. I like to treat others the way I’d want to be treated. And I can promise your fur babies are in great care! I work a part time job about half the days of the week so my schedule is mostly open. Let me know what day and time you need and ill see if I can be there. As of now my apartment has no more space for extra dogs but I can go to your house to take care of your pet. I will ask what the house rules are and will not overstep anything that the house owner says. I treat anyone’s home and pets as if they were my own with the upmost respect. I can follow any special directions for feeding or walking etc… to tailor for your pets needs.

About: Ever since I can remember, I was surrounded by animals. My grandma had a farm and I was taught how to care for all animals - from chickens and cows to dogs and cats. This instilled love and understanding for our furry friends. When I got married, I became a step mom to the sweetest red bone hound - Buddy. He was our baby for 16 years. When he went to heaven, it took us several years of grieving to get another dog. I completely understand how pets become family! Currently we have a large family that includes a German Shepard, a turquoise conure, and a Western bandit gecko (the kids found him freezing outside, so now he is our family member). I raised 5 kids and several pets throughout my life, so my strength is nurturing and loving those around me. I do not work outside of home and have a very flexible schedule to attend to your pet. I will adhere to the schedule you set in place for your beloved pet (as I understand the importance of routine). I love walking pets; however, I will respect your wishes and schedule currently set in place. Upon arrival to your home, I will do a visual area sweep for anything out of the ordinary. If I see anything odd or concerning, I will notify you immediately. When I am finished, I will check the doors and/or crate to make sure all is secure. On occasion if I need to take your pet with me, I live on an acre and my yard is fully fenced (with another “small-dog proof” area separately fenced too. Plenty of room to roam.

“Sibel was wonderful! She walked our dog several times over consecutive days. She was always on time and sent many pictures. She is very positive and clearly loves animals! We will definitely use her again!”


About: I have owned, fostered and rescued many different pups over the last 20 years. Everything from spicy chihuahuas to stoic Bermes Mountain Dogs! There isn't a breed that I have not been able to care for. I have cared for and trained 5 puppies in my experience. I am not just a "dog person" I am an ANIMAL LOVER! My love for animals goes beyond just pups. I have cared for turtles, lizards, horses and birds. I even cared for a pot-belly pig once! What ever the species of your animal family member is, I can get the job done and become their friend! I currently own my own business and work from home. I can make visits during the work day or as late as 7pm Tuesday-Friday. I am available to sit for your pets Tuesday-Sunday typically, but I can be available any time upon request. I take care of pets just as I would for your child. After all, they are your child in many ways! I can provide walks and time to play with them. I can feed, water and take them to go potty. No need is too big.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for my whole life and i’ve been walking and feeding them ever since I was 13. Weather it’s my own pups or others’, I’ve always taken pride in giving them care and attention. Over the years, I’ve dog-sat for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether you needed a reliable dog walker or just someone to stop by and check in, I’ve got you covered! I’m a college student home for break, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your dog company while you’re out, i’m happy to help. I always treat every dog with patience and kindness. I have a big dog of my own, so i’m very comfortable handling larger breeds. When I’m doing drop-in visits in a clients home, I make sure to follow any specific care instructions closely.

“Maria took wonderful care of our dogs when we were out of town. She took them on long walks and gave us updates as well as pictures. Super happy with her service and would definitely use her again. Thank you, Maria!”


About: I have had dogs all my life and love all breeds - big or small. I will take care of your pet like it was my own with lots of love and care. My children are all grown up and in college, so my days are completely open. I love going for walks and playing with them out back in our fenced in yard. Sometimes they just need to chill with you there. I have all wood floors and a fenced in yard that is big enough for lots of running. I have no problem keeping the dogs separate or together.

About: We are an active and fun-loving family who loves dogs! We'll be sure to give your dog lots of love, attention, exercise, and play time. My kids love dogs and are so excited to have more "friends" for our 9 year old Jack Russell Terrier mix. I know how important pictures and updates are for you too. We would love to help with your dog while you are away! We are available for daily walks and activity. We are frequently out and about walking or jogging and getting our own dog outside on walks. She loves to have other friends to walk with as well. My kids love dogs and enjoy meeting other dogs and getting the opportunity to walk them.

About: Have nearly always had a dog. Personally raised two dogs that lived 14 years, and 17 years. Have had some experience watching other owners' dogs at their property. Recently retired, very open schedule. Our previous dog was recently put to sleep after a 17 year lifetime. I am usually at our home most days. I will be able to monitor your pet with very little distractions. Safe home with no other pets or children to distract. There is also a dog park in our neighborhood.

About: I have been around dogs since the day I was born. I have house sat for many people over the years. One of my close friends is a vet tech and always reachable if there are any questions. My son just started school, and I am transitioning into something that is more flexible to allow me to take him to school and/or pick him up from school. My schedule is currently open at the moment. I love animals, and thought this would be perfect. I have a fenced in yard, with a doggy door as well. I have a very loving and playful dog at home that gets along with every dog. He also can be very calm and lazy as well. He goes with the flow of the other dogs he is around. There are a few dog beds and water bowls in the house, so there is always a cozy spot to rest.

About: I’m a lover of travel and dogs. As an avid traveler, I simply cannot have my own dog while being in and out of town. That’s why I want to be your Bonus Dog Mom!

My first dog was a SharPei puppy who I named Monarch, after the Ski Resort in Colorado (my old stomping grounds). I would love to share my love of dogs with you and yours. I live in North Scottsdale (144th Street and Dynamite) and would love your dog(s) to join me for my morning coffee, neighborhood walk, and bedtime cuddles. I look forward to meeting you and yours! ~Tasha I am a travel agent by trade, hence my love for travel! I work from home and am fortunate to create and manage my own daily schedule. I live in a gated community which is great for dog walks with very little street traffic. I have a fenced yard with outside cameras.
