About: I have been caring for animals since my childhood and have several of my own. I am a veterinary assistant and am comfortable with animals of all ages and sizes, as well as with responsibilities such as administering medication, walks, special diets, etc. I work and go to school part time. I have the most freedom on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, but can also periodically check on your pet on the other days of the week. I can do overnights as well. I will work with your pets needs whether that is specific feeding times, a walking schedule, or other routines that you and your pet typically do.


“Kristle did an awesome job checking on and walking both my dogs together. Both of them are strong and my younger dog can be a challenge. She communicates well and sent me pictures. She went above and beyond what I asked. I will certainly be asking her to walk my dogs in the future! ”


“Rachel is prompt and easy to talk to. She pays attention and was really great with our dogs, who are a handful to walk. We will be booking her for pet sitting this month for sure.”



About: I am an experienced positive method dog trainer. I work during the day and I a make sure everyone is safe, comfortable, and happy while I am not home. Kennel training helps keep everyone safe if they are boarding but we can discuss options. My dogs are very sweet and mellow as is my kitty so they get ahold well with most everyone. I do special need animals and have experience with blind and def animals. Additionally, I have have contacts to local vets/ vet techs for advice if emergency issues or questions arise on visit if you or your vet cannot be reached. My summary of experience includes house/pet sitting, boarding, walking, training, drop ins and I have done a bit of grooming as well. I respect any rules you want to implement for your fur babies. I am knowledgeable in dealing with all manner of problems and shenanigans that your animals can come up with. Size of dog only matters if temperament is aggressive. I want to make sure everyone is safe. Please feel free to Ask me for recommendations if you are unsure about your dogs temperament, I can do a free assessment for you so we can find the service that will suit you both best. Sending pictures as well as videos is also totally fine if that helps you feel at ease when you are away or to let you know how much fun we are having! Please feel free to chat with me if you have specific problems, requirements, or concerns with anything so we can address those. I'm excited to work with you and your babies!

About: My father is a veterinarian and I have been a dog parent from puppy to end of life for three different dogs. I've been helping friends and family with their pets as well. I'm active, love to hike and welcome a dog if they are appropriate for the trail. I work from home and have a lovely fenced back yard in a Central Phoenix neighborhood. There are some breeds I am not a good fit for: Pitbulls, German Shephards and any aggresive dog I work from home and easily take play, walk and feeding breaks every 2 hrs. I am charge of my schedule. I care about your pet as if it's my own and do not believe in letting dogs just sit and sleep all day without joy, affection and stimulation. I have a fenced yard and only care for pets in my home. I don't accept more than 1 pet though I can walk more than one pet per day

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a small child. I have worked in the pet care industry since I was 18 years old and currently work in Emergency Veterinary Medicine. I have a lot for pets and understand how important they are to us as people. I’m looking to meet some new four legged friends and make an little extra income when I can. I have myself a 4 year old Male/Neutured Staffordshire Terrier and a 9 year old Golden/Rottwieler Mix. My Rotti doesn’t come on adventures but if you are looking for playdates, my Staffy loves making friends! My schedule is varied, I care for my human family, my own fur babies and reptiles, while working full time in Emergency Veterinary Care. I do work 12 hour shifts 3 nights a week. Caring for your companion would be an important part of my schedule and I am willing to commit to the very important responsibility of walking, feeding, and spending time with your pets. Paying attention to details on how the pet parent already does things and trying to maintain a similar routine in walks, commands, or activities. It reinforces any training already in place, avoids any confusion or frustration on the pets side, and builds a better relationship between myself and the pets to help reduce any anxiety that comes with a new person around.

About: My family has had many a big silly dog, all of which I have had a hand training, caring for, and raising. I’ve often pet-sat for family and friends, maximum at once tending to four dogs, a cat, and a couple reptiles! I also have personal experience with tarantula/spider husbandry! At the moment, having just left my old job, my schedule is totally open with it being summer! I do have plans to go out of town and with events, so please ask me about it! I love to get to know and befriend any pets I meet and keep them company as well as caring for them. Shy animals are no problem either. :)

About: From time to time for the past 3 years I have taken proper care of my family’s pets outside my home but I can confidently say that I’ve been taken care of my own pets for my whole life! There hasn’t been one day that’s gone by where I haven’t taken care of them somehow. I’ve naturally grown the knowledge over the years how to properly care for small and large dogs and of course, cats! Right now I am temporarily working a part-time job, I am usually scheduled early in the mornings or evenings. I have to work around my job schedule which changes every week but I know my work schedule 2 weeks in advance. I have experience with scheduled feedings twice a day for dogs, daily feeding for cats, giving fresh water everyday, switching dogs and letting them outside throughout the entire day. I have experience with kennels for my own dogs sleep in their kennels. I have lots of experience with dogs that have to stay separated from one another due to dog fights, (my pets don’t like each other). I also have experience dog walking, playing and being able to identify changes in their well-being. I perform all these duties everyday with my own dogs and have experience doing so outside of my home. I take care of dogs that aren’t mine like my own according to the customers needs.

About: I am a veterinary assistant that has been taking car of pet for at least 9 years. I started pet sitting for my family and neighbors pet. Then I whent to the pound walking and helped in the clinic. Then I became a veterinary assistant to help more animals. I am currently working full time 10 hour shifts with 3 days off a week. So I have 3 days to focus all my time with your pets. I have a full fenced yard. I have 1 lovely dog that is friendly and get along with other dogs. I also have a crate if you would like me to use that.

About: What can I say, but that I LOVE dogs, cats, and all animals in general! I grew up with a mutt--Yogi--my best friend for the 13 formative years of my life. I still dream of him sometimes. Since then, I have owned two more mutts and multiple cats....but no personal pets at this moment, owing to my present living situation. So...I get my animal fix by house and animal sitting. I have stellar references for my services that I am more than happy to provide for you. I am a semi-retired teacher, though still teach English online, part-time. Prior to this, I taught elementary school for many years. Currently, I also spend more time care-giving pets, as it affords me the perfect opportunity to still work online, and at the same time be with the creatures that I adore! I greatly look forward to becoming part of your extended family by lovingly and wholeheartedly caring for your pet when such help is needed by you. I look forward to meeting you soon! As an English teacher working online part time, I have PLENTY of time to care for, walk and play (and generally spend quality time) with your pets. I only care for animals in my clients' homes. As a trustworthy, diligent and meticulously clean woman, I can guarantee that you will be happy with how I treat both your home and your precious pets.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I got my own dog at age 7. His name is Tyson and he is still alive and well. I walk both my dogs every two hours. I have dog sat with my mom multiple times and we have had to administer medication for anxiety and arthritis. Since I’m currently not working a traditional job, I have a very open and flexible schedule. That means I can give your pet my full attention without distractions or time constraints. I’m available for last-minute bookings, extended stays, and mid-day check-ins—whatever works best for you and your pet. Being fully available also means I can stick closely to your pet’s routine, which helps reduce stress and keeps them happy and comfortable while you’re away. In my home, I provide a calm and pet-friendly environment with two friendly resident cats and a secure backyard for supervised outdoor time (if appropriate for the pet). I make sure pets have a cozy space to relax, access to fresh water, toys, and plenty of attention. I’m mindful of pet personalities and will take time to do slow introductions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I respect their routine and space. I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, or playtime—so your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away. I also make sure to keep the home tidy and give regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

Sheri G.
“Sheri spent a full week at our house in the country outside of Nevada City, caring for our two rambunctious dogs, Jake and Zoe. Zoe was a 6 month old puppy at the time...Jake, his older brother and protector! Sheri made sure that, come rain or shine, the dogs got ample exercise in the yard, chasing balls which Sheri threw tirelessly for them! She also took them on long, wonderful hikes through the woods. The dogs were thrilled! Our house was well maintained during this time, and it is clear that Sheri is indeed the ultimate conscientious care giver of canines! You could not find a dog sitter/walker who loves dogs more than she does or takes better care of both dogs and home.”
