About: Hey there! I moved from Florida to Arizona in 2025 and loving it! I love furry friends of all kinds! Of course I grew up with dogs and cats, but my adventure really began when my husband and I got our twin dogs six months after we married 18 years ago. They were our kids until they recently passed at 16 and 18 years old. We were absolutely dedicated to make sure they were happy and healthy. Now I would like to build relationships with pet owners, giving you peace of mind knowing your precious pets are in excellent loving hands while you are away. My goal is to be a friend to your special friends, to entertain and comfort them, until you return home. I love spending time with them because it brings so much joy to my heart. I live an active lifestyle. I am housewife with no children or pets so I have a flexible schedule and I am available most anytime. I love having a pet as a companion. We have a beautiful, comfortable 3/2 home in a gated private community next to Oak Creek. There is a grassy park and walking trail right next to the creek where we love to go for relaxation and play. While our yard is nice to play in, it is not fenced. I am also able to come to your home. I love taking dogs for walks everyday. It’s great for their well-being and mine!

About: I like poetry, sunsets, and long walks on the beach. None of which matters to your pet - except maybe the long walks on the beach. Which would be nice, if I lived near the beach. Note: I have found a wide variation in the amount diligent attention different dogs need. Dogs requiring more attention are more liable to damage furniture, screen doors, etc., and Rover doesn't provide any coverage for that. Rover also doesn't allow sitters to specify different rates based on age/size/breed/etc. (except for a puppy rate). My rates are the minimum I feel comfortable charging for a minimum care dog - I may request a higher rate for certain dogs. I work remotely and am currently in between jobs. I am home in the mornings, then in the late morning/early afternoon I usually head into town, either up into the canyon for a dip in the creek, or to a coffee shop. I always take dogs with me when I go out, and make sure to park in the shade with the windows down if they stay in the car. I have a fenced back patio and no pets of my own. Unfortunately I have had some damage to my property recently, and since Rover does not provide any coverage, I am starting to be more selective about the pets I take on.

About: I have been passionate about animals since early childhood. My experience spans domestic pets, exotic animals, farm animals, and service dog training. Below is an overview of my lifelong work with animals: Early Childhood & Domestic Pets: -Began caring for animals at age 5 with three cats and my first dog (a Maltese) at age 8. -Personally responsible for training and caring for my dog from a young age. -Attended weekly dog obedience classes as the only child—my dog was often the most well-trained in class! -Raised and trained multiple dogs growing up, including Maltese and Border Collies. -As an adult, I have lived with and trained various breeds including Border Collies, Siberian Huskies, Dachshunds, and many toy dog mixes. Exotic Animals & Wildlife: -Became a licensed falconer at age 20; trapped and trained wild falcons for hunting. -Worked professionally with macaws, parrots, cockatoos, a raven, owls, hawks, eagles, falcons, homing pigeons, and trained rats. -Performed with and trained birds and other animals at Utah Hogle Zoo’s World of Flight bird show. -Owned and cared for freshwater aquariums, hermit crabs, and an axolotl salamander named Gary. Volunteer Work & Ranch Life: -Volunteered at the Ogden Nature Center, caring for tortoises, snakes, tarantulas, sea birds, and birds of prey. -Grew up on a ranch caring for over 20 chickens, 20 rabbits, 3 horses, 7 cats, a dog, and 3 cows. -Frequently served as a trusted house-sitter for friends’ and neighbors’ farms. -Experienced in horse husbandry and enjoy working with all farm animals. Service Dog Training: -Personally trained my Border Collie, Maki, as a certified service dog through a professional 6-month training program under the direct supervision of a certified handler at Ty The Dog Guy. -Received hands-on education in service animal training protocols, behavior management, and handler skills. -Maki now accompanies me as a fully trained service dog, with experience traveling and performing under high-pressure conditions. As a full-time indie author, I can take my work anywhere and have a highly flexible schedule. I teach one class a week at a local Sedona yoga studio and work part-time at a crystal boutique. Outside of those brief commitments, I’m home writing, reading, or happily spending time with animals. If I’m ever away from your home, it won’t be for more than 5–6 hours at a time. For pets that need specialty care—like puppies, senior dogs, or animals with specific routines—I can easily rearrange my day to be fully present and attentive. You let me know your pet’s schedule, and I’ll make it happen. I offer in-home pet sitting to keep your animals comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. My care style is attentive and proactive—I follow your pet’s routines for feeding, exercise, playtime, and snuggles while ensuring their space stays safe and clean. I’m excellent at puppy-proofing and making sure curious pets stay out of harm’s way. With over two decades of animal care experience, I’m confident in recognizing early signs of discomfort or distress. I have basic dog first aid knowledge, so I’m prepared to handle minor injuries or emergencies calmly and effectively. My goal is always to give your pets the same love, attention, and structure they’re used to, so they feel secure while you’re away.

“Suzana is absolutely great! She was so great and playful with our cat. She is trustworthy and reliable and we will definitely be using her consistently. She kept us updated with photos and videos!”

“Logan was amazing. She was responsive from the start and our meet and greet went great. Emmie seemed comfortable with her from that initial interaction, which is rare for her! Logan was communicative on the day of the drop-in visit and took pictures and gave feedback on how Em did. I really appreciated Logan being available for these types of requests while I’m visiting from outside the area. She’s fantastic and I highly recommend.”

About: I have spent the last 3 years traveling while doing house/pet sits throughout Mexico, Arizona, California, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. My clients have included some high profile gigs in Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu, but I have also spent months at a time living off-grid in the Mexican jungle and caring for animals on remote farms. My experience dates back to 1991 when I worked my high school summer vacations on a sheep farm to escape city life. I love ALL animals, and have had a special connection with them, my whole life. Your pets (and babies) will be comfortable with me right away. I have been a mom to birds, rodents, fish, cats, and dogs. I do have some experience with reptiles, as well. I come with many years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats from the puppy/kitten stage through their golden years, so you can rest assured that any special accommodations your fur-baby may need will be met with kindness and compassion. I am particularly fond of, and experienced with Bully Breeds, Golden Retrievers, and Doodles of all varieties. I only provide pet care in the owners home as I’ve found it is a far less stressful experience for the pets and the sitter. It’s all I do, so your pets will get tons of attention and affection. I also do occasional dog walking gigs while I’m staying at your home. Your babies are my babies while you’re away, and your home will be treated with the utmost respect. Confidentiality and privacy are considered paramount, always.

“Kim was great! She played with the 3 kittens a couple of times per day and kept us informed with pictures and videos of her visits and play-times. I would recommend Kim and am planning on booking Kim in the future for sure.”

About: Welcome to my page, I look forward to giving your animals and home the care and love they deserve :) All around pet care experience providing service for all sorts of animals over a 15 years course of experience. Working with a farm of animals to a pup or cat on the lap. Growing up with 12 horses, 2 mules, 3 dogs, 3 cats, 2 chinchillas, and an array of different animals on job, even those of the exotic type, I will be happy to discuss the care of your animals and the special needs they may have whether it be medication or particular daily rituals. Outside the world of pets I have been a general contractor/handy man for 7 years and can build/repair from the ground to the roof of your property and home with a experienced keen eye for detail with problem solving abilities. With some common sense, a country and well diverse background as well an eye for cleanliness, I hope to be a capable and considerate carer :) I've got ample availability to care for your animals whether it be one small cat to a farm full of animals, I am here to supply the highest quality of care and attention with loads of love to your fur babies. I am not able to provide boarding at the moment as I have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own but with be happy to watch and care for your pets at your home for whatever length of time needed to give you confident your home and animals are in loving capable hands.

About: I have experience growing up on a small horse farm with both large and small rescued animals, and believe wholeheartedly in providing each with individualistic and heart-centered care. I strongly believe each animal is their own spirit and person, and everyone needs something a little different. Feeding, bathing, playing, snuggling, walking, zooming, howling, whatever your lil’ baby needs or wants, we are happy to provide. Photo updates, videos, and zoom chats available and provided with no extra costs 💚 Check in as much or little as you please. I am a remote freelancer and visionary artist - that said, most of my time is free! I'm blessed to live in West Sedona, spending most of my days on the trails or spending time on the patio with my own pup soaking up the sunshine. :) If your schedule is strange, mine probably fits into it! If it's normal, even easier. We can work out whatever works best for you. I am very detail-oriented and like to put myself in my clients’ shoes. If you were sitting my little pup, how would I want him to be treated? These animals are our family and deserve nothing less than exactly what they need (….and sometimes what they want, treats are always available….) I have been vegan for 17 years and believe that we are here in this life experience to care for animals and those who can’t speak for themselves. (No, your dog will not be fed vegan food.) Video, chat, photos, etc. are all readily available and at request with no extra cost added, check in anytime you'd like.

“Amanda is fantastic, I will book her for all my animals needs!”

“Sarah was amazing with my 2 cats! She even was able to bond with my shy cat who never comes out to greet people. I would highly recommend her!”

“Tee was absolutely amazing with my kitty Nubs. I was sent out of town last minute and had to extend my trip and Tee was prompt in getting back to me and checking on my girl. She provided lots of video, photos, and messages so I felt secure Nubs was doing great. She spent lots of time petting her and playing with her and I could tell Nubs appreciated her check ins! Will definitely use Tee in the future!”

About: I offer house call visits and can even stay overnight for pet sitting. I love to walk dogs either around the neighborhood or on a nearby hike, depending on your preference. I can walk up to two dogs at a time if needed. I have been raised with dogs and cats, so I’ve had lots of experience taking care of the family pets. I even take care of my sister’s dog occasionally when she goes on little trips. I feel that it’s important to keep dogs active and play fetch also, especially if they have a lot of energy. If you are looking for any of these pet services, I am happy to help you out, so feel free to send me a message. Thank you! I work part time and I’m able to walk dogs in between work time. I have 2 days off per week which I’m available all day, witch is Thursday and Friday. I currently don’t have a place to board dogs, which is why I’m only offering walking services for now around Mesa and the east valley area

About: Ever since I was younger I’ve been around multiple pets/livestock, from family and friends. I’ve worked with small, medium, and large pets, walking, feeding, and caring for pets! It brings me joy making sure your animal is good and you’re happy! I currently work Sunday through Thursday but even on those days I’m available for you! I have a pretty good schedule! I’m trying to help make you’re life easier! I care for three dogs of my own at the moment, if Iam coming to youre address Iam more then willing to accommodate to whatever it is you ask or need!

About: What sets me apart is my calming, grounded presence shaped by years as a social worker, world traveler, and yogini. I work from home as a therapist, so your pets will have steady, loving company throughout the day. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies and anxious rescues to senior cats, birds, bunnies, reptiles, and chickens. & I’m great with plants toooo 🌱🪴 I would be delighted to keep your loved one company (and get them moving!) while you're away. I offer house sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and 1-on-1 doggy daycare. Whether in my home or yours, I provide tailored care to ensure your pet is happy, safe, and comfortable. If booking me for a Drop-In visit I including helping with anything you need around the house i.e. light cleaning and tidying, watering plants, gathering the mail and any other home management you may need during my time with your precious pet (: **In my home:** I offer a pet-friendly space with plenty of exercise, playtime, and relaxation. I follow each pet's routine, ensuring they get the attention they need—whether it’s active play or quiet time. **In your home:** I maintain your pet’s routine, providing feeding, medication, and exercise while ensuring they’re safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. In both cases, I prioritize your pet’s well-being and happiness!

About: In addition to being an avid lover of dogs (and walks!) I'm a 22x International marathoner and minimalist backpacker and traveler, as well as a yoga and meditation instructor. As a result of the aforementioned, I enjoy (and match) pups from all over the energetic/activity spectrum, can comfortably and respectfully care for homes and animals as though they're my own, even if only for a night, and can mindfully approach pups with their comfort and needs in mind. I have experience with overnights, ranging from two to ten nights-- with pups of all ages and health profiles and give frequent text and photo updates if so desired. Over the last four years, my top three repeat pup-friends (and their homes,) which I've cared for have spanned from sweet-yet-anxious Whippet, burly-but-cuddly Pit-Boxer mix, and an active-and-energetic Bichon-Poo mix. I am new to the area and still working out my professional schedule, but would love to meet/care for local dogs in my neighborhood (Uptown.) All care will occur based out of dog parent’s home, as our rental agreement mentions solely our dog as being onsite. My dog prefers to join for socializing, but can be left at home for brief visits/walks if your dog prefers solitude!
