“I was nervous about leaving my fur baby with someone I didn't know and using a service I found out about the same day I created the account and found Brooke. She was lovely from the beginning answering all my questions and then continually sending me updates with pictures so I wouldn't worry. While I am not local to the Scottsdale area I will be using Brooke again when I travel there to visit my family! HIGHLY recommend!”


“Huaqing took great care of our pups! Both our dogs had a great time and Huaqing kept us updated during their stay with messages and photos. We will definitely contact her again when we need a sitter!”



“Pamela was wonderful. She took such great care of Montana and kept me updated with daily texts and pictures. We've already booked her services again!”


“Our two dogs had a great stay with Eric. He watched our 2 dogs for 15 days and I think they might have been reluctant to come home! He gave them all the care and attention they would have gotten at home and communicated with us through photos and updates while we were gone. He even took professional-like photos of them and sent those to us while we were gone. It was so unexpected and appreciated! We can't say enough good things about Eric!”



“Kelly and her husband were so sweet and welcoming to my dog Captain and sent me photos while I was away. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is needing a dog sitter and hope to book with them next time I go out of town :)”


“Ángela and her family are so sweet and attentive. My pup was so happy during his stay. Angela made sure to update me everyday on his stay. I’ll definitely be reaching out again.”


“Ash was awesome with my puppies. I will definitely use her again. I highly recommend her. She kept me updated everyday and sent me pictures. It's so nice having someone you can trust taking care of your babies”


“Kelly is warm and genuine in her love for dogs! I was confident my dog would be safe, relaxed, and well-cared for in Kelly’s home. I picked up a happy dog and am pleased! Thank you Kelly for a terrific 1st boarding.”



“Julia is such a knowledgeable, committed dog sitter. She was so patient with my shy dog and by the end of his stay he was just as comfortable in her home and he is in his own. She is my go-to for all dog sitting needs!”


“I cannot thank YLexus and Heather enough for taking such incredible care of my Great Dane while I was away for my nephew’s military graduation. From the moment we met at the initial meeting, I could tell they were kind, professional, and genuinely cared about my dog. The drop-off was seamless, and I felt completely at ease leaving my gentle giant in their hands. 😍 Throughout my trip, YLexus and Heather kept me in the loop with updates, photos, and messages, which truly gave me peace of mind while I was hundreds of miles away. It was so reassuring to know that my pup was in such loving and capable hands. 🫶🏽 If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND these lovely ladies! They went above and beyond, and I couldn’t be more grateful. 🐶🐾”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the last several years. I’m happy to take care of and get to know any kind of pet!! I’m in Physician Assistant school currently on clinical rotations. My schedule changes a bit week to week but there is plenty of time for me to take care of your furbabies. I’m happy to walk, let dogs out, and feed pets before and after work on days I go to clinic. On days I’m not working I’d be able to spend even more time with your pets, playing with them and keeping them company in addition to taking care of them! Just let me know what will make you most comfortable in terms of caring for your pets- walks on a leash, going out in the yard with them, feeding/treat schedules, medication schedules, etc. I’m happy to maintain your pets routine.

“Sai was so great with Patti! This was my first time using this service and had never left Patti with a sitter before. Sai went above and beyond to make sure me and my fur baby were comfortable. He met with us before the visit and was very generous about showing us around and talking us through his plan. He shared pictures every day and updates on how the dogs were getting along since I was nervous about that. He walked them multiple times a day. Patti is in early stages of training, and Sai was incredibly patient with her and reassuring to me. He also shared the food he was giving his dog Sokka (who is a beautiful sweet boy), but was always checking and asking permission before doing anything like that. Lastly, Sai even called and coordinated with Patti’s trainer for just in case! So happy with Sai and Sokka and will definitely be booking again. Patti had a great time!”


“KIARA IS A LIFE SAVER ! THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME USING A DOG SITTER & SHE WAS PHENOMENAL I HAD SO MANY LAST MINUTE HICCUPS MY ENTIRE TRIP AND SHE WAS SO UNDERSTANDING. I WILL BE RETURNING TO KIARA FOR FUTURE DOG SITTING BECAUSE SHE MADE ME AND MY DOG VERY COMFORTABLE WITH THE STAY.”


“Our pups had a great stay with Tracy! She was a fantastic sitter —communicative and our dogs had a great time. It was so relieving knowing that the dogs were in great hands!”



“My dogs had a great time with Catherine. She sent multiple photos throughout their stay with her and they always looked relaxed, comfortable, and right at home. Great communication and I will definitely book with her again!”


“Alicia was wonderful with our dog Archie. She sent update photos of him playing with other pups every day that we were gone. Great communication and super friendly! Will definitely use Alicia again to board our dog!”


“Ezra & Reina were great hosts! They are very thoughtful about your pets feeding and care needs, and also shared pictures of Ryder enjoying his stay. I would definitely recommend them and will likely be rebooking for my next travel plans!”



“Kim is a great host! Our golden retriever just had his first visit and she took great care of him over the holidays. I received regular updates and photos. It was obvious when I picked him up that he was well cared for and happy! I would not hesitate to book with Kim again!”


“Elena was the best sitter and took such great care of our pups. Sent photos of all the fun they had and definitely will be bring my pups back for future stays.”
