House Sitting in Rio Verde

“It's the second time when Leslie takes care of our fur babies...and like the first time everything went without a glitch. Pets love her and they seem very content when we get home...no signs of stress at all...what else can we ask for? Thank you, Leslie!”

“Tiffany took care of our 3 westies for the weekend and was professional and reliable. She arrived exactly on time and followed all care instructions perfectly. She kept our home secure and clean. She stayed in touch and sent updates pictures so we were happy. Our dogs warmed up to her immediately and they were calm and content when we returned. Thank you Tiffany!”

“Ash was amazing with our two boys! We have a cane corso and a frenchie and we were super nervous to have someone new watch our pups and they loved her! She even left little treats, a handwritten note, and two beautiful handmade pictures of our pups! So thoughtful and she’s so professional and kind. Highly recommend!”

“Gwyn was superb. She made our Halo so happy and kept us updated with great photos. We will use Gwyn again!!!”

“Wow, I can’t say enough about how wonderful Darion was. This was the first time we ever used Rover and we chose her because of all of the positive reviews she had and the amazing things people had to say about her. Not only was she punctual, but she was so loving with our little friend, and she even walked her at the farmers market this morning. Older dogs can be just as much of a challenge as younger dogs, given their medication schedules and everything, but Darion did such a great job, keeping on task with her medicines and mixing that with a copious amount of love for our little fur baby. Thanks again so much for everything.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and owner, and my wife and I currently share our home with one wonderful pup. Over the years, we’ve also had the rewarding experience of fostering dogs, including a lively litter of puppies. I’ve always found joy in spending time with dogs—whether it’s throwing a ball for them to chase or just hanging out and enjoying their company (no small talk required!). Now that I'm retired my schedule is very flexible. I’m thrilled to spend more time doing something I truly love: caring for dogs and helping others. Whether your pup needs a walk, some companionship, or a safe and loving environment while you’re away, I’m here to help! I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged friends! I’m excited to offer dog walking and sitting services for dogs of all sizes and breeds. With years of experience caring for dogs, I understand the importance of trust and dependability when it comes to your furry family members. My goal is to give your dog the attention, care, and playtime they deserve while making your life a little easier.

“Vivian was responsible, dependable, friendly and all in all, very easy to work with. She followed all if the directions I left pertaining to caring for our Welsh Corgi. I would definitely use her again.”

Pat H.

“McKenna was wonderful with our 3 dogs! She sent pictures, she communicated with us the whole time. I would definitely use her services again.”

About: I have been taking care of pets since before I could remember. I believe that pets are what make the world go round, and always strive to make them as happy as can be! I have a small, calm dog and cat here in Arizona, and two large, crazy dogs back in Maine. I definitely understand how both ends of the spectrum can be! All my pets have made it from early puppy, to late senior so I understand the vital importance and factors of taking care of a youthful/elderly pet. I am only working part-time at the moment so taking care of your pets on the weekend is not a problem for me! I also work early mornings so I am free in the afternoons/evenings during the week for all services except overnight stay! MY HOUSE: I have a small, calm/friendly dog that would love to keep your furry friend company. He can be locked away in a separate area of the house if needed! I also have a small, calm/friendly cat but she will be locked away for all visitations/overnights because she gets scared easily. I have a beautiful fenced in backyard with a pool and fake grass. All pet waste gets cleaned up so it’s always hygienic. I will take your dog for a long walk 2 times per day. I will follow your desired feeding/play schedule and administer any medicine if needed. YOUR HOUSE: I will do all the same as listed above! If you have no fenced backyard, I will take your dog on multiple walks a day to get their energy out. I will also follow any crate training instructions if desired.

About: 🐾 Reliable Pet Care with a Personal Touch Hi! My name is Tatyana, and I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve had three dogs in my household at the same time for most of my life, giving me extensive hands-on experience with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and care needs. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, playful, energetic, or prefers a slower pace, I understand that every animal is unique and deserves individualized care, patience, and attention. ⸻ 📸 FREE Pet Photography Included! As a photography student and aspiring photographer, I love capturing special moments with animals. During visits or pet-sitting stays, I’d be happy to take complimentary photos of your pet using my Nikon Coolpix P950 so you can receive adorable updates while you’re away. Think of it as a little bonus—cute photos, candid moments, and memories of your pet having fun while you’re gone! 🐶🐱✨ ⸻ 🤝 Meet & Greet Before Every First Booking I love meeting pets and their owners before providing any services. A quick meet-and-greet helps your pet become familiar with me, allows me to learn their routine and personality, and ensures we’re a great fit for one another. I charge a small $5 fee to help cover gas and travel costs for the visit. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and confident before the booking begins. ⸻ 🐕 Experience with Shy & Nervous Dogs One of my recent pet-sitting experiences involved caring for a very shy dog during a full weekend house-sitting stay. Rather than forcing interaction, I respected the dog’s boundaries and allowed trust to develop naturally. Through patience, consistency, and a calm approach, I was able to help the dog feel safe, comfortable, and secure while its owner was away. I understand that some pets need extra time, reassurance, and understanding—and I’m happy to provide that. ⸻ 🏡 Safety, Structure & Peace of Mind When caring for pets, safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, house rules, and any special requests you may have. I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. You’ll also receive updates throughout my stay so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. ⸻ ✨ What Makes Me Different? 🐾 Lifelong experience caring for both dogs and cats 🐾 Comfortable with shy, anxious, high-energy, and senior pets 🐾 Flexible schedule and availability 🐾 Complimentary pet photography 🐾 Patient, attentive, and detail-oriented 🐾 Respectful of your home and routines 🐾 Dedicated to making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable 🐾 Personalized care instead of a one-size-fits-all approach I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. ❤️ 📅 Scheduling & Availability My schedule is highly flexible! I am currently completing a fully online Pharmacy Technician program while working remotely for my family’s business. Since both my coursework and job can be completed from a computer, I have a very open and adaptable schedule. This flexibility allows me to accommodate daytime visits, evening visits, overnight stays, extended pet-sitting bookings, and, when available, last-minute requests. I understand that every pet owner’s schedule is different, so I do my best to be responsive, reliable, and accommodating whenever possible. If you have specific scheduling needs, feel free to reach out—I would be happy to discuss how I can help! 🐾 Flexible Scheduling • 🏡 Overnight Stays • 📸 Free Pet Photos • ❤️ Personalized Care 💕 Safety, Enrichment & Personalized Care Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them rather than simply meeting their basic needs. I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe, understood, and engaged, so I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level. 🐱 Mental Stimulation for Cats With my own cat, I make enrichment a priority. One of his favorite toys mimics bird sounds, and I love watching him stalk, chase, and interact with it. Keeping cats mentally stimulated helps prevent boredom and allows them to stay active, curious, and happy. Whether your cat loves to play or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll adapt to what makes them most comfortable. 🐶 Exercise & Safety for Dogs For dogs, regular exercise, supervision, and safety are always priorities. My family has always been intentional about creating safe environments for our pets. When we lived near a golf course, we even installed an additional fence around our yard for extra security and peace of mind. We never leave our pets outside for extended periods and always make sure they’re supervised, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, enrichment activities, or simply keeping a pet company, I believe every animal deserves patient, attentive care throughout the day. ❤️ Care Tailored to Your Pet I understand that every pet is different. Some pets immediately seek attention, while others need time to build trust. I’m happy to adjust my approach based on your pet’s personality, routine, energy level, and comfort zone. This is especially important for shy or nervous pets, who often benefit from patience, consistency, and gentle interactions. 📸 FREE Pet Photography Included! As an amateur photographer, I’d love to take adorable photos of your pets during my visits—completely free of charge! I’ll happily send photo updates so you can see how your furry family member is doing while you’re away. It’s one of my favorite ways to help owners feel connected to their pets and provide extra peace of mind. 🐾✨ 🛡️ Safety First • 🐾 Personalized Care • 📸 Free Pet Photos • ❤️ Plenty of Love & Attent

“Samantha was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! They kept us fully in the loop throughout the whole stay, sending regular updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind. Seeing how happy and relaxed our pups looked in every picture made it so easy to enjoy our time away without worry. You can tell Samantha genuinely cares about the animals in their care. We will definitely be booking again!”

About: We live in a clean home, in a safe community. We have (1) yellow lab that would like a friend to play with during the day. Doggy door available, feed, clean, and walk the dogs, we do it all. We have a pool at another location that we would be happy to take a dog or two, if they like to swim. I currently work from home and have an endless amount of time to feed and throw toys. We have cameras around the home for added security. I have a fenced yard. Dogs are contained within the property, unless on a leash on a walk or on a car ride. Safety is our biggest concern. I work from home and have plenty of time to throw toys and play with the dogs. There is a doggie door and fenced yard to play in. I have a fenced/walled yard with a doggie door. We do not have a pool or anything dangerous in the yard. Dogs are allowed to come and go as they like, unless we are told different by you. We allow dogs on the furniture and in the beds if they like.

“First time using Rover and Nicole made it a fantastic experience. The dogs really loved her and she was great about sending updates and pictures. For sure would request her for future stays.”

Kim C.

“I had to leave my fur baby’s for 4 days and 3 nights. I was worried because I don’t like to leave them. Catalina came to my house to meet my fur baby’s and she made us all feel at ease. Thank you very much Catalina! While we were gone she sent pictures and gave updataes. I would highly recommend Catalina who has any worries about leaving their baby over night.”

Lucia R.

“Absolutely stellar pet sitter. I booked with William last minute since I had to leave town and my other sitter had fallen through, and he did such an amazing job with Fonzy. Consistent updates and photos, asked questions, and my place looked great when I returned. Highly recommend for others!”

Trevor T.

“Tamaya was great with our anxious dog! We booked her for 2 weeks overnight at our home while on vacation and she quickly eased our worries about leaving our dog for such a long time due to her separation anxiety. During the stay, she sent plenty of pictures and she kept us updated on any changes. She followed the instructions perfectly and even started watering the plants when I asked a couple days into my trip. We came back to a clean home and a happy dog☺️ We will definitely rebook her in the future!”

About: I grew up on a farm taking care of animals my whole life, in all shapes and sizes! When I moved to the city for school, lots of people asked me to pet sit and I loved it so much I hope to continue! I just moved to the Phoenix area and I can’t wait to meet new customers (and their owners 😉). Currently my schedule is completely flexible and I can accommodate any needs, even very short notice! Feel free to reach out day of and we can make it work! I’m happy to follow any routines you have with your animals! Since my schedule is so flexible, I’m comfortable feeding or walking morning, noon, or night. I’m also comfortable delivering medication.

About: Over the past decade, I’ve spent much of my time caring for both dogs and cats for friends and family, and now for pets of my own. This care includes feeding, walking, play-time, and general quality time, all of which I love providing daily for my 2 year old golden retriever George 🦮. I’m a teacher looking for a fun and productive way to spend my summer break. I’d love to spend some of that time hanging out with your lovely pets! I’m currently a teacher with completely open availability for the upcoming summer break. Besides daily chores, I will not have much to do and so have completely open availability to care for your pets day and night. I have a large fenced yard with dog door access and a friendly 2-year old golden retriever to keep your dogs company. Crate access is also available if needed, I currently use a massive crate graded for dogs up to 140 lbs. I have one cat as well who prefers to hang out in my bedroom, so he can be easily separated to give your dog space if necessary. Cat litter and food are kept seperate and out of reach from any dogs should they be interested.

“Leslie is the absolute best!! Our fur baby loves her and we know she’s being so well taken care of when we are gone. She’s always easy to communicate with and also takes great care of our home!”

Miranda B.

“Jessica was fantastic! There’s nothing more we could have hoped for. The dogs were well taken care of, the house was in great shape (even with a wild puppy she had to watch), her communication was great, I’d highly recommend Jessica. She couldn’t have been better!”
