“Alison took extra special care of my two older dogs while I was gone for 10 days. Both of my pups have some health issues. She gave them meds, kept track of symptoms, and was proactive in letting me know about changes and concerns. She is always responsive and detail-oriented, and she shows genuine care for the whole family. From our conversations, I also know that she cares deeply about her community. I really appreciated getting regular photos of my dogs' goofy faces, and having that reassurance that they were happy and getting along just fine. Oh, and A++ for also looking after my ducks and plants!”
“Allison was super easy to talk to and super sweet! We had a to book this with very little notice and she was quick to respond and drop by for a meet and greet! The dogs and kitties loved her, she constantly sent me pictures, and let me know what was going on. House was clean when we got home, fur babies were happy, and that’s really everything we look for! We’ll definitely be booking with Allison again!”
“Sabrina took very good care of my anxious pittie! She stayed with him at night and really tried to make him feel comfortable. I really appreciated her communications and ability to deal with him. When she was not sure she would ask but was also proactive in trying to gain his trust.”
“Maddie was absolutely the best! She took such good care of our pup while we were away for two weeks. She sent us lots of pictures and spent tons of quality time with him. We came home to a spotless house and a happy dog. I can’t say enough good things about how wonderful Maddie is. So sweet and professional. We’ll definitely hire her for any/all future dog sitting.”
“Mikayla just watched our babies (two corgis under 2 years of age) for 5 nights..and they were so well taken care of! She sent pics all the time and dealt with my frequent check ins...I am neurotic doggy mommy for sure! Our pups are energetic and in my opinion a great deal of work..she clearly loves animals and has a passion for taking care of them!”
“Amber stayed at my house and took care of my dog, cat and lizard for 4 days. I felt comfortable having her at my home and she took great care of my pets! I would highly recommend her!”
“Fynch has anxiety and Dina worked with him to gain his trust. She sent me pictures regularly as well. She left the house clean, including taking out the trash before leaving. I've never used this service before but I very well may in the future!”
About: I have owned dogs and cats all my life. There has never been a time I haven't had an animal living with me. Until now... I’m retired and get my dog fix from dog-sitting. I believe that there is no greater love than the love from a pet. I started dog sitting when I was between teaching jobs. I have retired from teaching elementary art. I live with my bf on about 1/4 acre. Fenced yard and security cameras. We are master gardeners and have about 1000 square feet of organic garden. We are Urban farmers ... dogs really enjoy running around our yard. I love to walk dogs and play with them in yard. We would love to share our home with your pets.
“Jamie was fantastic with my dogs. She gave them all the love and attention they desired, and kept me updated on how they were doing. One of my dogs was having some leg pain, and she went out of her way to accommodate him and help him get better. 100% will book again :)”
“Sabrina is awesome!!! You can tell she truly cares about the pets and gives a lot of updates while she is house sitting! I can guarantee we will be using her again in the future for our dogs!”
“Jewel did a wonderful job stepping in with little preparation when my friend couldn’t stay with my pups while I was away. After a video meet and greet, Jewel came and figured out my pups complicated routines. She messaged when she had questions or concerns. Her co-sitter, Scout, was good with my dogs and extra careful with my elderly blind guy. My old guy, PV, wasn’t eating and we figured out that he had been missing his heart medication as well as his pain medication! As soon as his medication was straightened out, he was back chowing down. He fell in love with Jewel, leaning on her for pets — which he never does! Pearl, the diva head of the household, fell for Jewel right off and followed her around and slept with her and Scout. Not only did Jewel take great care of the pups, walking them daily and brushing them, she kept up the house so it was neat when I returned, took out the garbage, got the mail, and did poop scooping in the back yard as well as watering the plants! I will certainly have Jewel stay with my dogs again when I travel. If you have pets you love that may have complicated medication schedules, Jewel can manage and I highly recommend her.”
“Lyz was absolutely fantastic! She watched our two dogs, Molly and Wyatt, for 8 days and went above and beyond in every way. Communication was great—she sent regular photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We have a large, energetic 1-year-old shepherd who’s still very much in his puppy phase, and Molly, our 4-year-old, tends to be a bit skittish with new people. Lyz was incredibly patient, and Molly warmed up to her beautifully. She stayed in our home and treated it with the utmost care—we came back to everything exactly as we left it. It truly felt like she cared for both our pets and our home as if they were her own. I would highly recommend Lyz to anyone looking for a reliable, respectful, and caring sitter. We feel lucky to have found her!”
“Logan took great care for our two dogs while we were gone for five nights. She followed specialized feeding and walking for both dogs and gave special attention when giving Brobro his daily medication!!! Look forward to having Logan take care of the dogs in the future.”
“Lisa is the best! My cat loves her, and I always come home to a house full of good energy. I appreciate Lisa’s thoughtfulness and good communication. Thank you again!”
“Mileah did such an amazing job! Our dogs are a little nervous around new people, and they were right at home with Mileah! We have never had Joe get so comfortable with a person so quick. Mileah was super communicative and made us feel at ease. We will be booking with her again.”
About: Hello everyone! I have extensive experience with dogs and cats. I am a proud mom to 2 senior rescue persian cats and an 8 year old staffy mix. Reside in a house with a fenced back yard and a lovely park across the street. I am currently a Graduate Nursing student at the University of Arizona. My current class schedule allows me the flexibility to be home most of the day, which further grants me unlimited cuddle time with all the pups and kitties :) I am very patient, flexible, and understanding. I love dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I am happy to cuddle, play, or go for a walk! I also completely respect house rules and will follow any/all instructions for caring for your pup and kitty! I promise to care for your dog(s) and cat(s) as much as I do my own!
About: I had a German Shepherd which I brought home as a puppy, she was so scared. I cuddled up on the floor with her that first night until we fell asleep. After that she seemed so much more relaxed and curious about her new home and family. I taught her lots of commands and tricks very quickly! So fun and exciting! I even learned how to make homemade pupcakes for her birthday every year! I work the same hours everyday and always have weekends off so my evenings and weekends are pretty free to spend lots of time with your pet. I like to get as much information about the pet in order the give the best care and for your pet to feel the most comfortable. Sticking to their routine is also important.
“Fiona was great and helped us out by watching our 6 m.o kitten. He is a ball of energy and she made sure that he had what he needed and felt safe at home while we were gone. Would definitely recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!”

Fiona is the best dog sitter! She is kind and respectful. She took great care of my 2 dogs. My dachshund is very timid with new people and she made friends easily with Fiona. The house looked just like we had left it. I highly recommend Fiona and she will be taking care of my dogs whenever I need a sitter.
Jessalynn worked miracles with our grumpy Dobby! He calm and quiet presence led to quick acceptance. She even had to deal with meds and did so very successfully. Communication was excellent and we appreciated the pictures and videos. We will definitely be calling her again!
Taylor was the best pet and house sitter!!!! She was always responsive and took excellent care of my dog. She even helped her through the 4th of July fireworks which are a terrifying event for my dog!! She took excellent care of my outdoor plants and left the house spotless. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.
Mileah did such an amazing job! Our dogs are a little nervous around new people, and they were right at home with Mileah! We have never had Joe get so comfortable with a person so quick. Mileah was super communicative and made us feel at ease. We will be booking with her again.
I’m an extremely anxious cat mom of three, and leaving my babies for a whole week felt incredibly stressful. From the moment I met Pat before I left for my trip, she put my mind at ease, and throughout the 8 nights she stayed at my home, she went above and beyond in every way. Pat sent me 10+ photos a day, which meant so much to me. I could see my cats’ sweet faces and their comfort in her care. She gave me frequent updates on their eating habits, litter box use, playtime, and overall behavior—every thing that matters so much to a cat parent when they’re away. She treated them like her own and slept with them every night so they wouldn’t feel alone. I felt truly lucky to have found her. I came home to a clean house and happy, relaxed kitties. If you're a fellow anxious pet parent, or just someone looking for the absolute best care for your pets, I cannot recommend Pat highly enough. She’s thoughtful, communicative, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals.
We were so happy to have Vida back to housesit for us again! We recently added a new pup and she made the effort to come prior to the housesitting dates to come meet him. Our boys were taken great care of and will always reach out to her first for any sitting needs!
I picked Mason because he was closer to my home than most and he was extremely responsive to my questions even before I met him. I was very lucky to have booked this young man. He went above and beyond my requests of him and Cooper loved him. Cooper never had so much exercise. Mason is a student who doesn't have a car but that didn't stop him from hiking up my hill to meet us. We will be repeat customers for sure.
We went on an extended trip, and our girl had her first “pup sitting” experience with Monica who was OUTSTANDING⭐️!! Libby got her meds daily, lots of love and attention, we stayed in constant communication w/pics and videos throughout our time away (which kept our minds at ease). Monica is reliable, trustworthy, caring, a real GEM for any pet owner looking for help with their dog 🐶 or cat. Book her if she’s available, you won’t regret it!
Breanna was awesome! She accepted our last minute request to sit our two puppies. She asked all the right questions so she could get the job done. Her communication was excellent and we highly recommend her to all who need help with their fur babies. Thank you Breanna!
Excellent in every way...reliable loving care provided to my senior girl. Meds given as instructed. Kept in frequent contact with me with photos and text messages. I was worried for my very elder fur baby and hesitant to leave town. I did not need to be. No worries with Shay's excellent care. My home was also in perfect shape when I returned. My dog loved Shay and responded well to her insightful care. Definitely recommend Shay.
