About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was about 9 years old. I grew up raising labs, and I’ve always loved dogs. I used to have a cat before I became allergic, but I can still care for cats as well. Our family has 8 dogs ranging from a mal-shi to a Great Dane. We also have chickens, ducks and guinea pigs. I’ve had to give dogs medicine, walk them, clean up after their mess, and I love giving animals attention! My husband just retired from the Army, and I’m looking to help out our large family wherever I can as well as meet new people and their family pets! I also have Ft Sill access. I’m a full time mom, but I try to be as flexible as possible to help other pet parents as needed. I am available most days to do check-ins and whatever else is needed. It’s a little bit harder to care for pets in my own home, but I have no issue traveling to other homes. I think pet sitting in someone else’s home sometimes works better because the pet is already comfortable in their own environment.

About: I have taken care of my own animals and my families for about 10 years now. Including my aunts senior dogs. I love them all! I have a full time job Monday through Friday. I usually work 7am-3pm but my hours vary in the afternoons. If you’re looking for afternoon care or weekend care I’m usually always happy to help!! I will follow all instructions and make sure to send updates regularly so you know your fur baby is in good hands. I prefer not to care for other dogs in my home as I live in a camper currently and my dog doesn’t get along with other dogs often.

About: I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for the past 10 years. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I treat every pet like my own fur babies with love, patience, and attention. My services are tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. I prioritize communication and sending regular updates. I’m experienced with senior pets, medication administration, high energy breeds, and shy or anxious animals. Whether your dog loves long walks or your cat prefers a quite friend I provide dependable, compassionate care that fits your pet’s lifestyle. Every pet is different, so I happily adjust timing and activities to match your pet’s routine—just let me know their preferences, feeding times, and any special needs. I work during the week but have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide morning, midday, and evening care. I’m off on weekends, which means I have full availability to dedicate extra time, attention, and care to your pet. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I follow Rover’s safety guidelines and take extra precautions based on each pet’s unique needs. From secure leashes to gates and entryways, I make sure your pet is safe, supervised, and cared for with attention to detail. My home is a cozy, welcoming space designed with pets in mind. I have a fully fenced-in yard that allows for safe, supervised outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Your pet will enjoy plenty of fresh air and room to move around comfortably. I also share my home with a friendly, well-behaved dog and two gentle, social cats. They are used to having guest pets around and help create a calm, pet-positive atmosphere. If your pet enjoys the company of other animals, they'll have great companions. If they need space, I ensure slow, respectful introductions or separate accommodations. I’m happy to accommodate crate-trained dogs and can follow your specific instructions on crate routines—whether it's for bedtime, rest periods, or while I’m away briefly. I view crates as a safe, cozy space for dogs and make sure they feel comfortable and stress-free while crated. Communication is key. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and notes during your pet’s stay, so you’re always in the loop and confident your furry friend is in good hands.

“Marja was great! Super flexible with my cats needs and sent pics to keep me updated.”

About: I've had pets all of my life - mostly dogs and cats, but my mom added two pet rats and some birds throughout my childhood to keep me well rounded 😆 I truly love animals and want to be become a veterinarian someday. For now though, I will be starting full time as a receptionist for a local vet clinic 😊 I have pet-sat for both my parents and friends throughout my life. If you have certain specifications such as they need to be walked at this time, or needs medication at this time, just put it in text form and I will commit to what you and your pet needs. My priority with animals is to listen and do my best to keep them happy and healthy. I have full availability Saturdays and Sundays, though I do work full time during the week - but have off on Wednesdays. I'm on Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri until 6:00 pm. So I can help out after about 6:15. For the pets in my home (two cats and a dog) I make sure their food and water is not only filled, but CLEAN. I make sure my puppy gets outside plenty, she is very well trained to not go potty in the house and to tell us when she needs to go out. With that in mind, I know different household have different needs - in my mom's house, her dogs have to go out at certain times because of their work schedule. So, a schedule is certainly something I can handle. Cleaning up if there are accidents is also something I'm fine with doing. Cleaning up on walks is a given, scooping litter boxes as well. I will also commit to other tasks such as brushing, feeding a specific meal plan, giving medicine, etc.

About: I have been watching dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters since I was very young. I have owned all of these animals as well as watched the pets of my friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors! I am a huge animal lover and want to make sure each pet is happy and healthy! I currently work from 7:00am-1:45pm Monday-Friday. With that being said, I can check in on your pet(s) anytime afterwards and I’m free all weekend! Let’s work together and find a time that suits you and your pet! I keep a close eye on cats and small animals while indoors. For dogs, I have a large fenced in yard and if my client does as well I ensure to keep a close eye on them outside as well. I like to know what key words and phrases are used on a daily basis (ex: sit, stay, come, no, down).

“Karan took the time to complete a meet and greet with my two rescue babies. She was patient, understanding, and most importantly playful with the fur babies. I received pictures regularly of how they were doing. I felt and saw my fur babies were doing well with Karen and she was helping them adjust to being home alone. I will be booking with Karan again.”

About: I have 1 year of experience taking care of dogs/walking or sitting them. I also had a 16 year old and currently a 2 year old Maltese who I have taken care of during my life, so I am definitely a dog gal! I am currently home for the next 3 months before I go back to school, so I will have plenty of time to play, walk, and take care of your pups! I’m available during the weekends and some days throughout the week depending on the time! I have a puppy brother back home and he is treated like a little prince! I do live with a fenced in yard and live close to a couple of fenced in dog parks, so your doggo will definitely get enough time outside!

About: I love animals I have been near animal’s my whole life I grew up on a farm and I loved to be near different animals and learn more about them and they own personalities. I do different things all the time I just graduated high school and I have a lot of free time on my hands and I love taking care of animals. I have a back yard and have lots of space I have a car to take them to the park they will be taken care of and respected.

About: I love animals. I have owned and operated a Children and family portrait studio for over 15 years. Dogs are like kids to me. They are innocent and kind and deserve love and attention. I have time to offer your baby the love and attention it deserves when you're not around! I was raised on a farm in North Texas where we took care of many animals. I knew from a young age up the importance of taking care of animals properly. I find dogs to be such amazing animals seeing their pack instincts make them yearn to be with people and protect them. I love the affection they offer with no hidden rules. I offer the same love and affection to them because they deserve it. Hi! I’m new to the Phoenix area but not new to caring for pets and homes. I’ve been a trusted sitter for years, including several long-term house and pet sitting gigs in the U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Thomas) and Puerto Rico. Whether it’s dogs, cats, chickens, or something a little more exotic, I’ve probably cared for it — and loved every minute of it. I’m super clean, respectful, and calm — I work from home or remotely when I can, so your pets get attention and your home stays safe. I’m also a total plant nerd and take pride in keeping your green babies alive and thriving while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone who truly connects with animals, treats your home like a sanctuary, and communicates well while you’re gone, let’s set up a meet & greet! I only care for pets in their own home — where they’re most relaxed, happy, and safe. I follow their routine closely, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just being a calm, loving presence. I’m super clean, great with plants, and treat your space with total respect. I want your pets to feel like they’re just on vacation at home until you walk back through the door.

About: I am currently stationed at Fort Sill and looking to earn a little extra money on the side to assist with student loan payments. Seeking a work opportunity that is flexible with my Army schedule. I have experience house sitting with pets, feeding, washing, and walking. I am comfortable administering medications if needed. I am mostly free on the weekends as I work at a clinic during the week. I have some weekday evenings available. I work some weekends but I would be available before noon on those days. I ensure that pet food and water bowls/dishes are replenished. I walk dogs and cats (if needed) for at least 30 minutes, cleaning up any mess along the way. Definitely big on play time and provide snuggles and affection.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday - anytime during the week available, in mid day or during the evening time or even in morning sometimes. I offer extreme caution and carefully to be considered when handing with pets, and before I have care for Great Paranesse. In the past for year and a half.
