“Hayley was amazing! So communicative and thorough in the details, and even had some helpful insight for some health stuff with our dog that we weren’t aware of! We’re very much looking forward to having her watch Willow again. ?”


“Chris was absolutely amazing! She house sat and dog sat our 2 little dogs for two weeks and within that time she quickly developed a wonderful relationship with the dogs. She sent daily updates and photos, and her comments were always thoughtful and gave us great peace of mind. Chris really does care about the animals she looks after! she was a wonderful house guest, and everything was clean and tidy when we returned home. We will definitely use Chris again!!”

“Tyler was an absolute gem when we needed a great cat sitter while we were away for our honeymoon. Tyler sent constant updates (not enough to overwhelm) and was very prompt with answering texts. My cats seem to have loved Tyler and barely noticed us being away for 2 weeks! If you value your cats’ comfort while also being comfortable knowing your cats are safe, give Tyler a try!”

She checked in regularly with photos and videos of our pup. Monty looked healthier and happier than when we had left!”

About: Use code ELAINH89783 for $20 off your first booking! With over five years of pet sitting experience, I bring genuine care, reliability, and calm attentiveness to every stay. Because I have no pets of my own, your dog receives my complete, undivided focus — no distractions, no divided loyalties. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages and breeds, from high-energy pups to senior companions, and I pride myself on respecting each pet’s unique routine and personality. I take direction seriously — whether from owners or veterinarians — and follow care instructions to the letter. Your home is treated with the same respect: I keep things tidy and leave everything exactly as I found it. My regular clients say it best: I’m the only sitter trusted to watch Haku, a spirited Shiba Inu who needs firm, loving boundaries. I’ve helped nurse Zula, a Taiwanese mountain dog, through a stroke and a serious infection — following vet aftercare with precision. I know how to keep an active dog engaged and an elderly dog comfortable and happy. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pet like family, stays calm under pressure, and gives you genuine peace of mind while you’re away — I’d love to meet your dog. I voluntarily left my full time job so you have my undivided attention! I also work remote so my schedule is flexible and I’m very mobile! I treat your home and your pets with respect, kindness, compassion, and love. I’m a guest in your family’s home and would not do anything to jeopardize that relationship. At home, I make sure necessary doors and windows are closed and the space is clean tidy so no ingestion accidents happen. Before any outside activities, I make sure the temperature isn't too hot and can defer to inside enrichment activities if outside temps are dangerous. During walks and playtime I remain attentive to not only your dog's behavior but the external environment to ensure both our safety. I provide text and picture updates at an agreed upon cadence. In the event accidents happen, you will be notified by text and voice immediately and necessary safety protocols will be followed.
“Five stars isn’t enough. We’ve had great dog sitters, but Beverly blew us away with her kind, thoughtful, and communicative approach. We’ve never felt more comfortable and confident leaving our home and dog in her extremely capable hands. Thank you, Beverly! Will book again and again.”

“Katherine is the best dog sitter, and trust me, it is better than you could have dreamt up. The communication is through, the rules are followed to a T, my apartment was better than I left it (sorry) and my dog was ecstatic to be with her. I will be booking Katherine as much as she can handle due to my work travel. Very appreciative dog dad!”

“Joliana was so wonderful with our cat, Siri! We are always a little nervous to leave our elderly girl who has some light separation anxiety, and needs daily medication, but Joliana did great! She sent photos daily and assured us that Siri was relaxing and had no problem taking her medication. Joli also left our home in great condition. We would definitely hire her again in the future.”


About: Animals have always had a very large impact in my life, I’ve always loved being able to care and bond with pets. Aside from having pets of my own, I have also fostered and rescued a few companions! When watching your pet, I can promise that I will treat them with just as much love, care, and compassion as I’ve given to my own pets. I would absolutely love to pet sit for you! I work part time and don’t work summers so I have a good amount of time to help care for your pets! My current summer hours starting in June come out to pretty much anytime on any weekday! If there is a specific day or amount of hours, you’d like me to stay, please feel free to reach out. When caring for your pet I want to make sure that they are as comfortable as possible. Your pet feels the safest in their home and I want to make sure that while I’m there they continue to feel safe and at peace. I will follow any rules or routines provided so that your pet is most comfortable.
“Justin provided an excellent service! He connected with my dog Cometa and ensure he was exercised, fed, safe, and well cared! Cometa was relaxed and happy! I found him calm and secured at my arrival! I will continue having Justin taking care of my dog as many times as my dog needs service! Justin is dependable, responsible, nurturing and committed to provide de best service possible. I’m very grateful and happy with his service. Gracias, gracias, gracias….”

“Laura was fantastic! I have a 1 year old and an 11 year old dog, each with their own needs. She was wonderful and communicative during the 5 day I was away. I felt completely comfortable with her taking care of them. And when I came home, everything was in great shape and the dogs seemed very happy. I will definitely hire her again.”

About: I grew up on a farm and had the amazing opportunity to rescue and raise different animals. I’ve had more than 25 dogs throughout my time in Arizona and we found them all loving homes. I started my pet/kid sitting job at age 9, I’m 27 now. Im a mom to a little angel in heaven and now want to focus my time and love on others babies. I’ve been an animal lover since I can remember and to this day I love caring for them as if they were my own. I have an amazing dog named Nala who I rescued and she’s amazing with other dogs. She loves to play and making new friends everywhere she goes. I feel like she would definitely benefit from my dog sitting as well because she will have endless friendships and fun too . I also have experience with dog aggressive animals/ shy/ or animals who prefer to be alone so I don’t mind separating my dog from yours. I have a pretty big house and backyard/ front yard so everyone will be happy and have their space. I will always assure they do 🤍 I’m currently working part time from home so I’ve been having some extra time to myself. I want to fill it with joy , happiness and adventure and what better way of doing that than hanging out with peoples fur babies for the day. I have a fenced front and backyard, two beautiful and respectful dogs. I love doing playtime and interactive games that help keeps their brains busy as well. I will also give them so much pets and love till you get back so they won’t feel lonely and miss you.

Katherine never ceases to amaze me with her thoughtfulness over my dog. He was recently in recovery mode from a surgery and I had a last minute work trip across the country. Katherine truly gave Cash the VIP treatment and put my mind at ease. 10/10 woulda recommend. Will be returning.

Cristian went over and above our expectations. Kept us up to date sent photos and just provided complete reassurance we didn't need to stress over our dogs and home while on vacation. Highly recommend and our best experience to date using Rover. 5 stars plus!!!

Stephanie is a super star sitter! Our dog is sweet but has separation anxiety. Stephanie made her so comfortable that Etta was all smiles in all of her check in photos and videos. This helped us fully enjoy our trip knowing our pup was in great hands. Also, the photos and videos Stephanie sent were so cute, well captioned, and well-timed. I had some detailed instructions and Stephanie followed them all excellently. Her excellent communication and understanding helped manage my own anxieties about leaving Etta at home. She was extremely clean and left our place looking great. Also very reliable, professional, and punctual. My husband and I could not have asked for a better experience and would 100% work with Stephanie again!
