About: I know how scary it is to entrust others with your pets, especially if you are like me and have an anxious/reactive pet. I volunteer with a local shelter, and they've taught me so much when it comes to minimizing stress in animals as much as possible. I will treat your pets like I treat my own, with a focus on comfort, reducing stress, and respecting boundaries in what your pet might find to be a new or scary situation. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule, so any time not spent with my own pets or volunteering at the animal shelter I can dedicate to caring for your pet! I have a fenced yard, dog crates, and even a dedicated "pet room" in my home. I also like to use the vertical space for my cats and give them lots of shelving and perches for them to climb and view the windows.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life! I have professional experience with dogs, cats, horses, fish, rodents, and birds. I fostered for the Big Fluffy Dog Rescue based out of Tennessee when I lived in Chicago including long term foster care and transport! I have taken care of puppies, seniors, and all the in between. I believe that animals have this unique energy and pure understanding of the world that can make a persons life so much better. I can do basic training, learned animal safety skills, and oral medicine administration. I am happy to match your pets unique energy whether that’s laying down and relaxing for a chill afternoon or running around outdoors for some fun high energy playtime! I’ll always take to time to get to know your fur baby and tailor their care to them :) I currently work mornings, typically 4am-10am. I live with my partner so when I’m out at work in the morning your pet will still have a companion and someone to take them outside or just hang out around! When I get home from work it’s playtime, I love to interact with animals and find their energy fun and exciting and so sweet! We will absolutely tailor your experience to your pet, and we know they all come with their own special and unique personalities and quirks. We’d love to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible, so if there are any requests you may have we are happy to here them and adhere to what makes the tails happy! I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks and typically take walks throughout the day around a pond by my house! Walks can last as long as you or your pet prefer, but typically I aim for 30-45 minutes. I typically walk during the cooler parts of the day, and will bring water if it’s over 100°out. If the service takes place out of your home I will walk within the neighborhood if possible and stick to shady areas to keep your pet cool and happy! I want you to feel assured that your pet is safe and happy with me and love to snap pics along my route! I apologize if you hear me talking in my squeaky pet voice to your baby in any videos I send, haha!

“My dog liked her very much, because she was so attentive to her. She not only walked her but she watched her. She tried to figure out how best to relate to her. I was very impressed. Kayla was dependable, punctual, and enthusiastic. I highly recommend her.”

“Alan was very receptive to all of our concerns with walking Archer. I think he did a great job with making us feel comfortable as pet parents and also giving Archer a great workout!”

About: I’ve spent plenty time taking dogs on walks, playing, and even taking them to the park! I am the one most friends or family come to when they need someone to trust with their furbabies! I would love to be able to go out and be active with these pets weather it be early morning before the heat picks up or in the sunny afternoon to enjoy the sun and refreshing breeze! Whatever works best for the pet parent. I love looking closely at attention and instructions given to me to help ensure the comfortably of the pet parent and pet that I am in charge of.

About: As a lifelong animal lover working from home full-time, I provide constant supervision, 'office mate' snuggles, and frequent potty breaks in a stress-free environment. Your pet will receive my undivided attention in a true home-away-from-home setting, including a large fenced yard for secure play and daily long walks! I am also experienced in senior care and dedicated to keeping your fur baby safe, active, and loved all day long. I work from home full time with a very flexible schedule. I am available for walks throughout the day and potty breaks as needed. I will provide daily updates with photos and videos to make you feel comfortable! I have a single story home with a fenced in backyard. We have a large crate if needed, but we had a velcro dog and know how important it is for animals to feel safe and secure, so they are more than welcome to spend as much time near me as they want!

“Kristen is wonderful! She went out of her way to come meet my dog before ever taking on/accepting being a dog walker. She is now my go-to dog walker and I can’t imagine leaving him in anyone else’s hands! She’s very communicative and professional.”

Caroline S.

“Dani is a truly FANTASTIC dog walker. My little homie liked her right away when they first met. I have found Dani to be very professional and completely reliable. I highly recommend her for care of your pup!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from puppy age to old age and love it all, I’ve dog sat for many years! I love it so I’m currently in school for respiratory therapy and am also a caregiver ! Mondays and Tuesdays are always free, my schedule does change weekly for the other days so request a day and I might be free!! I’m also always available after 8:30 pm, I know it’s getting warmer so if you prefer your pets to be taken for a run or walk at night when it’s not so hot I’m more than happy to do that as well!! Each home is different and I am very good with adapting quickly to figure what your little fur friend needs and wants! I love it

“Our Buffy girl got the pleasure of going on a walk with Christina. She was phenomenal! She was so sweet and patient. She seems very knowledgeable regarding canine behavior. She even helped with some training we’re working on! Can’t wait for their next walk!”

About: Having pets have been one of our greatest joys since childhood. Along with caring for our own, we’ve taken care of neighbors’s pets ever since teenager years, and took naturally to it since we’re animal lovers! It would be such a pleasure to meet and serve and grow to love more furry friends. 😊 I (Sheridan) am a stay at home mom with lots of time on my hands this summer, so I have plenty of availability. My husband, Adam, has a pretty flexible hybrid work schedule as well. We’ll be following all guidelines and preferences expressed by the owner, so we can know how best to serve your pet/your family in your own home. Willing to do tasks such as: feeding, walking, playing, crating, etc.

About: Hi! I’m Patience ! With over 10 years of experience caring for pets—ranging from energetic puppies to senior cats—I treat every pet like part of my family. As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets need tailored care to feel comfortable while you're away. A typical day in my care includes a morning walk, plenty of play sessions with chew toys, and quiet cuddles in the evening. For seniors, I focus on gentle, short walks and ensuring they have soft bedding and a calm environment. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have company throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, allowing for frequent potty breaks every 2–3 hours and mid-day play sessions. I usually take a longer walk in the late afternoon to help them burn off energy before dinner. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I require a meet-and-greet to ensure we are a perfect match. I only communicate through Rover for your security and mine. I am highly observant of behavior, ensuring pets are never put in stressful situations and that their environment is secure.

About: I looked after a friend’s dog for a few days while they were on vacation. I fed him, took him for walks, and made sure he was happy. I love spending time with dogs. I have been around dogs since I was a little girl. I lived with my grandparents and always took their dogs for walks or to the park. I am very comfortable with all kinds of dogs. am a senior in high school. I will have more time this summer, but I am also looking for a job with the city of Mesa. I will let you know my hours so we can plan around them. I am very careful with pets. I will make sure your dog stays safe on walks and at home. I will send you plenty of photos so you know your dog is having a good time.

About: I pride myself in having a safe, home-like environment, where dogs are never just “boarded” but cared for like family. With a fenced yard, free-range access indoors, and individualized attention, your dog feels comfortable and safe. I’m home during the day, which means pets get lots of love, attention, and company. From morning walks to afternoon playtime, I make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for all day long. I take pride in providing a safe and trusting environment where every pet is treated with the same love and care as if they were my own. From secure spaces and constant supervision to personalized attention tailored to each dog’s needs, I make sure your pet feels comfortable, relaxed, and in my home. My goal is to build trust not only with your dog, but with you as an owner, so you can have complete peace of mind while they’re in my care.

About: I have had 5 cats over my whole life, since age 7 - Experience (chronological) of 7 months in an animal shelter volunteering (halted due to an emergency move, then the facility changed to S&N / vaccination services exclusively), 3 months full time in a pet resort, and 2 months professionally & full time in another animal shelter. I have more experience/specific knowledge when it comes to cats and their behaviors, but I am also comfortable and have had experience with dogs (doggy daycare, individual playtimes, walks, as well as feedings!) Cleaning & sanitation was also a major factor in safety when working with animals. I find individual/localized care is more fitting for my life, as I am discovering furthering limits with conditions of mine. Care for any of our little friends is my forte, and I would love to bring the knowledge & experience I have to your loved ones when someone is needed! I look forward to all the lives I may come across ❤️ 🫶 • 😸 🐶 🐹 🦜 🦎 • 🫶 As for my own cats; I will always make sure mine has their needs met first, and ensure they will be in good hands with my spouse if I happen to stay a night/several hours somewhere. They have 24/7 access to filtered water, 3-4 separate feeding times with a real meat & kibble mix (warmed meal,) and at least 15 minutes of full undivided attention playtime a day (doesn’t count the hours of loving on them!) Cat litter boxes are sifted daily, often twice when I can. Litter replacement every 2 weeks, Full washes every month! Whatever is asked for & beyond (unless asked otherwise!). Supervision is vital to how I care for animals, and will always be a top priority especially when it comes to outdoors. Routines and schedules are important to me as well and never skipped.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was born! We have never had less than 5 pets in the house. I grew up dog and cat sitting and am comfortable dealing with challenging pets. I have been a walker on here for over a year now and love meeting your sweet pets. I am currently attending naturopathic medical school in Tempe. I have early morning availability as well as sporadically through the afternoons and evenings. I should be able to work around just about any schedule. I am also a slow but passionate runner and am happy to include runs as well :) I have a lot of experience dealing with difficult pets. I can handle big and loud dogs, crazy chihuahuas, temperamental cats, and more. I grew up pet sitting and dog walking and am able to appreciate each and every pet for who they are.

About: I currently have 3 dogs of my own, and 2 of them were adopted when they were only 6 weeks old. They’re now 6 months old, so I have hands-on experience caring for young puppies and understand the time, patience, and consistency they need every day. I’m used to feeding schedules, potty training, cleaning up after them, supervising playtime, and helping them get comfortable in a home environment. I’ve also helped friends with drop-in dog care and have experience taking care of 2 large dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, refilling water, cleaning up, and making sure dogs get attention and feel safe while their owners are away. I genuinely love animals and always try to care for every dog as if they were my own. My schedule is currently flexible, so I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting throughout the week. I’ll keep my calendar updated regularly, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine whenever possible. I’m not currently offering boarding in my home, but I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any household pet-care instructions. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and make sure everything stays clean, safe, and well cared for while they’re away. I know it can be stressful to leave pets behind, so I’m happy to send photo updates and communicate clearly throughout the stay.

“Michelle is friendly and patient, completely understanding, and my dog Sadie did great with her!”
