“Pat was great with both of our kitties and took great care of them while we were away on our trip. She was very thorough and made sure they had adequate water, food and a clean litter box on her daily visits. She also took time to visit and play with them, took great pictures, and left detailed notes about each visit to let us know how the cats were doing. She was very accommodating of our schedule and I would recommend her for any other pet parents. Thank you for taking such great care of our kitties Pat! 🙂”

About: I got my first dog when I was 7. He was the cutest little Chihuahua who lived to be 18 years old and needed lots of extra care and attention to make sure he was comfortable as he got older, so I do have experience caring for seniors. I've also been around horses and other types of farm animals for most of my life and I owned a leopard gecko for around a year. Majority of my friends and family have dogs as well so I have a lot of general experience being around them and have loved every moment of it! I'm a full time college student, so I have lots of extra time to care for your beloved companions! I have my own transportation and extremely flexible times. I currently live in an apartment and while I don't have any pets right now, I plan on getting a dog when the time feels right. I am a very methodical person and prefer to have a set routine.
“Laurie was a wonderful choice while I was on vacation. I had no worries as well as my dog, Chloe was clearly happy with her while I was away! I would gladly do business with you again thank you very much!”

“Marina was amazing! We booked last minute and she was able to accommodate our needs effortlessly. She sent lots of pictures and helped us feel at ease while we were out of town! Will definitely be a repeat customer!”

“Shaina was fantastic! I can really tell that she loves and cares for all animals, and I felt very comfortable leaving my cat in her hands. She wrote detailed updates and took nice pictures so I knew how each drop in visit went. Shaina was very convenient to book, had excellent communication, and was very kind and tidy. My cat had a bit of an upset stomach, and she went above and beyond to clean up messes on the carpet and keep me updated on her health. I would definitely book her again.”

“El was so sweet and a wonderful sitter for my kitty over the weekend. Excellent communication and lots of photos in the daily updates. I came back to a very tidy apartment and happy cat. I would definitely book her again!”

About: I am a student at The University of Arizona studying veterinary science. I have grown up with animals my whole life and have trained and cared for them. I have also spent the past year volunteering as a foster for animals at PACC so they have a loving home until they’re able to be adopted. I am free all days of the week and most all times of day. I am a student at the UofA in the online program so I have complete flexibility in my schedule. I am able to travel to clients homes to care for their animal. I am willing and able to care for all animals of any size, age, and behavior. I am efficient when caring for animals and pay close attention to detail. I have two dogs(pit bull mix and a golden doodle) and a cat so I have a wide range of experience with animals. I take pride in keeping my animals on a schedule when it comes to eating, playing, exercising , and even sleep.
“I had never used Rover. I had no reason to. But traveling to Tucson in an RV, I realized I didn't have friends or family to watch my dogs if I needed help. In searching Google, Rover came up as an option. Once logged into Rover, the app suggested Nikki P. based on my criteria. I reached out to Nikki and she quickly reached back. She commented in Rover that we should jump on a call to discuss expectations. The call was a great way to share information. Nikki booked the gig. She met me and the dogs at the RV, on time with a big smile. She shook my hand then immediately turned her attention to the dogs. The dogs settled down quickly and warmed up to her. She asked me relevant and smart questions about how to care for them. While I was out, she sent pictures and updates. Nikki took the dogs on walks and cared for them like they were hers. Wow! Nikki was wonderful to meet. She is bright and engaging in our conversations. My neighbors asked me about Nikki. They told me they "didn't hear a peep" while she was caring for the dogs. I intend to use Nikki if I need it in the future.”

“Oliver was calm and organized which made all the difference during Sterm's last few days. Really appreciated his communicative style on top of being available short notice! Olive listened and followwd up by asking good questions to ensure Sterm received the best possible care. I highly recommend Oliver and would book again!”
“Sheila is wonderful! She has done an excellent job taking care of my cat (and plants) several times now. He can be a little intense but she has made friends with him now. When little things went wrong and I wasn’t there (e.g. the house is too cold) she communicated with me immediately and also made my cat a small blanket nest while waiting on my response. I feel safe leaving my cat and house under her care!”

About: I treat every pet like my own—whether it’s a playful puppy who needs extra attention or a senior dog who deserves gentle, patient care. I’m experienced with different breeds, routines, and personalities, and I always take time to make sure pets feel comfortable and loved. From walks and feedings to cuddles and communication, I make sure both you and your pet feel completely at ease while you’re apart. I’m currently working full time, but have time before and after shifts to stop in or walks!! And have 3 1/2 days off, to hangout with your pets! I have a fenced yard and two friendly cats, who can be put away or separated, if needed. Also have separate air conditioned rooms if it’s too hot!

“Terri did a fantastic job of taking care of my kitties, including sorting out issues with the automatic litter box and water fountain. She even put my bins out to the street on trash pick-up day. She was great!”

“Nicole was great with the drop in visits for my cat! She followed the instructions I had left and went beyond! I loved getting the updates and pictures she sent. I will definitely use her services again in the future!”

“Sasha took incredible care of our cats. She was very responsible, arriving at the designated times and following all of the feeding instructions. She was patient while they warmed up to her. I appreciated the fun photos and feedback she shared after each visit. I returned home to very happy and relaxed cats. This was evidence that she took tremendous care to make sure they were happy during her visits.”

“Wonderful dog sitter! She is a great communicator and loves our doggies. She has also been working with them to get them better behaved which I didn’t think anyone could do!”
