About: Hi! Chances are if you are on my page you are an animal lover who is looking for someone special to take care of your beloved family pets. Look no further! I am Lauren, a registered nurse by trade, who when not working spends 99% of my time with my dogs and cat! My animals are not just pets, they are family. That is my philosophy when caring for your furry friends. I promise to take care of them like they are my own, and the same goes for your home! I understand how stressful and worrisome it can be to hire someone to watch after your animals and property. I am incredible responsible, diligent, and detail oriented when it comes to caring for others (people and animals alike- it comes with both jobs!) I have extensive experience with animals from the time I was a child all the way until present day. As a child I attended all sorts of animal camps during school breaks, in high school I volunteered at the local animal shelter where I adopted both my dogs from, and have spent countless hours working with trainers to train my dogs. Both of my dogs have completed beginner & intermediate obedience, as well as completing the AKC canine good citizen class. All of this to say- I have worked with my own dogs, as well as many other dogs and have extensive experience with animal behavior and all types of breeds. I understand some dogs need a little extra time to warm up and that is 100% okay, please just be upfront about your pets needs so I can best care for them! Aside from my canine friends, I also have a cat and I am happy to care for feline friends as well! I am a nurse so my schedule fluctuates often! I tend to have more availability than the average nurse due to my current role so reach out as far in advance as possible and I will try my best to accommodate your needs! I am here to best serve you and your animals. Let me know how to care for them and I will follow all instructions as given. Pets do best when routine is kept as close to possible as when you are present so I will look after them how you see fit!
About: I’ve spent 30 years caring for a wide variety of dog breeds and age ranges. My experience isn't just limited to my own pets as I've spent time volunteering at animal shelters and pet sitting for neighbors and friends. Safety First: I take great care during walks and always ensure harnesses are secure and environments are safe before going outside. Communication: I provide detailed updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder about how your pets are doing. Adaptability: With direction from you I tailor every visit to your pets' unique needs and personality. I’m a firm believer that every pet deserves to feel safe and loved while their humans are away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I spend weekdays in Carefree and weekends in Paradise Valley. My schedule is relatively flexible so please contact me with your scheduling needs and I'll promptly return your message. Your pets' safety and the security of your home are my top priorities. I treat every home I enter with the utmost respect, ensuring all doors are locked, alarms are set, and everything is exactly as you left it. I am a non-smoker, stick to schedules, and never invite guests over.
“Amanda does an incredible job with our puppy Prince, our family is grateful for her flexibility and the care that she gives Prince consistently. He’s excited to see her everytime”
About: I am a dependable and caring pet sitter with experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages and personalities. I have completed pet sitting for a pit bull over a 4-day stay and cared for three cats, including a young kitten, for 4 days.

I understand the importance of providing pets with attention, exercise, playtime, feeding, fresh water, and a safe, comfortable environment. I am patient, responsible, and committed to following each pet owner's instructions so their pets feel secure and well cared for while they are away. I’m currently working part time 3 days a week in Tempe, and have plenty of free time to care for your animals, I normally am good with booking and try to care for pets every week! In my home and/or my clients home I always make sure all animals are safe and taken care of, making sure they have been fed and taken on walks throughout the day.
About: I have had dogs my whole life and volunteered at the Nebraska Humane Society for over 10 years walking dogs of all shapes and sizes! I love to walk dogs and I also love to hike if you would like your furry friend to get a hike in. I have had the pleasure of looking after a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and birds. I am a retired individual who has a passion for taking care of animals. While my husband is busy at work, I find joy and fulfillment in spending my time with furry companions.

We can work together to put a plan in place for your pets and I am happy to send photos and videos of your pet.
About: In addition to house/pet sitting, I have owned numerous dogs and cats plus hamsters, fish, chickens, and horses. I enjoy working with animals and am open to caring for most types of pets. I have previous experience with Housecarers and Trusted Housesitters and can provide copies of reviews by pet owners. I am retired so my schedule is flexible. I am physically very active and able to handle extensive walking as needed. I do occasionally travel but plan my travel months in advance so it would not interfere with any scheduled sits or pet care. I am not available to care for pets in my home. I would be available both day or night to care for or sit for pets in your home. I am a walker, so dog walking is one of my favorite activities with pets.
About: I’ve grown up with a dog and have experience walking and caring for many different dogs in my neighborhood. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and love staying active, whether that’s playing, going on walks, or giving your dog plenty of attention and care. I’m currently available all summer aside from a few planned trips. Other than that, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate your pet whenever needed. I’ll be starting college in the fall, so my availability will change then, but for now I’m free most days and happy to work around your schedule. I care for pets in the client’s home by following their normal routine and instructions closely. I make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and comfortable in their own space. I also provide attention, keep things clean, and ensure they feel safe while you’re away.
About: I have had a dog and a cat since I was four and understand the responsibilities of feeding, grooming, playing with them. I know how to navigate their doctor appointments and how to manage a problem with a pet. I don’t just believe pets should just be fed, walked, let out to use the bathroom, I believe they should also get love and comfort when their guardians are away I am on summer break so I have a lot of free time. I love walking my own dog and taking care of my pets when I am home. I walk my dog twice a day, feed both her and my cat in the mornings and afternoons. I make sure their water is full, that their beds are where they’re supposed to be, and that they are comfortable. I always greet them when I come home, or say goodbye to them when i leave

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Rio Verde. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Rio Verde.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rio Verde. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
