Dog Sitting in Sun City

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life — from dogs and cats to birds and bunnies — and caring for them comes as naturally to me as breathing. Our home was always full of furry (and sometimes feathered!) friends, and that love has only grown over the years. When you trust me with your pet, you’re not just hiring a sitter — you’re choosing someone who will treat them like family. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or simply keeping them company, your pet will be safe, happy, and deeply loved. Let me give you peace of mind while you’re away — your fur baby will be in warm, caring hands! 🔆😊 I work from home full-time, which means I have the flexibility and availability to give your pets the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether they need extra playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll be there to accommodate their needs. Just let me know when you need me — I’m ready to help! I live in an apartment with my husband, our 2-year-old boy, and our dog who loves the company of other fur buddies! We have a dog park right inside our complex, perfect for safe, fun playtime and daily walks. It’s a calm, loving environment where your pet will feel right at home.

“First time using Rover with Mindy chosen for stop in visits for our two dogs. Went great, complete piece of mind about leaving our dogs and house open to Mindy. Mindy communicated via Rover emails a long with multiple photos of our pups with each visit. Thank you Mindy and appreciate you.”

About: I grew up around dogs of all sizes and personalities, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. Even though I don’t have one of my own right now, I truly miss that connection and love spending time walking, playing, and being around them. As a current full-time ICU nurse, I’m responsible, attentive, and patient, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to help care for their pets, and I treat every dog like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. ❤️ I work full-time as a nurse, so my schedule varies, but I plan my pet care commitments carefully to make sure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting on my days off and select weekdays, and I’m happy to communicate clearly about availability ahead of time. When I’m with your pet, they have my full attention, and I make sure they feel cared for, comfortable, and safe. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, keep a clean and calm environment, and pay close attention to behavior, routines, and any changes. I’m naturally attentive, detail-oriented, and quick to respond if anything seems off. I respect each pet’s personality and boundaries, and I’m committed to creating a safe, low-stress experience while you’re away.

“Brendan was great with our dogs who are very high energy. He was very communicative, reliable, and flexible which we really appreciated. We’re grateful our dogs were in his amazing care and services when we were away.”

About: I have taken care of dogs in my home and professionally at a daycare/boarding facility. I am an RN and comfortable with meds and first aid. I will treat your dog like my family! I am currently working on starting my own business taking dogs on excursions to keep cool while playing with other dogs. I love dogs and find great satisfaction taking care of them in the home or outdoors. I will strive to maintain the regular routine for your dog. I help them feel comfortable by doing the same things you would do for them. Meal time, bedtime, walking, pottying, etc. all tend to have a routine, and I will keep that routine while pouring out affection to your dog as if they were my own.

“Alyssa was wonderful with my pets ! She took my dog on an evening walk, he was thrilled to have such a nice long one today. She also won one of my cats over quickly, the other one will come to love her soon, I am sure, she is just a little more standoffish.But Alyssa did try ! She was on time and professional, she asked all the right pet care questions for my upcoming visit with her, and I feel very comfortable trusting her with my sweet pets and my home.”

About: Hi! I’m a fourth-year veterinary student with extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats in both clinical and home settings. Through my veterinary training, I’ve worked with pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs, including administering medications, monitoring health, and recognizing early signs of illness. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and animals that require a little extra patience or special care. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I treat every pet like my own and provide attentive, reliable care you can trust. With my veterinary background, you can also feel confident that your pet is in knowledgeable hands if any health concerns arise. ’m a fourth-year veterinary student currently in clinical rotations during the week, so I’m typically available for morning visits, evening walks, and overnight care on weekdays. My schedule is usually more flexible on weekends for longer visits or boarding. Your pet’s safety is my priority. As a veterinary student, I’m trained to recognize signs of illness or stress and provide attentive care. I live in an apartment with a small, secure dog yard and maintain a clean, calm environment while following each pet’s routine and care instructions closely.

“Faith was nothing short of fabulous! And we say this as people who just said goodbye to our pet sitter of twenty years. Faith instantly put us at ease, managed our home professionally when we were gone, and our dogs absolutely loved her. Faith is now our go-to pet sitter.”

“Kalin is an absolute angel! She saves us while we were away. She’s sweet, has great communication and you can just tell that she actually cares. She’s our girl for sure!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting, dog walking, and house sitting for over a decade for my neighbors, coworkers, friends of friends, family members through word of mouth as well as people I met at the dog park or other local areas like lakes / rivers / farms who I befriended and was hired by. Most of my clients have been with me for 8+ years! I volunteered at a horse rescues & cat / dog rescue for many years. I worked at a dog training, daycare, and boarding facility as well. We have 4 dogs & had a range of animals under our roof over the years from foster kittens & foster puppies to snakes & iguanas. 2 of our dogs have completed their Canine Good Citizen tests, our big dog is working on his Public Access and my pup is service trained. I am working on official training credentials but am happy to work with your pup if you would like. I work from home. I have plenty of time to spend with your best furry friend(s) so they get exercise and lots of love while you’re away. I spend as much time as possible with everyone so they all get exercise and loves. My home has a dog door and run for 24/7 access for bathroom breaks and water. Happy to swim with your pup too if they enjoy water.

“Maddy was a wonderful drop-in sitter for my cat Violet - thank you Maddy! Definitely will rebook when I travel next!!”

“Gabriella is absolutely amazing! She has such a wonderful energy and spirit. She was happy to help me out with a last minute booking, even making time for the meet and greet only a day after requesting a booking. She was so sweet and attentive with my babies! It was my first time leaving them and she took care of everything from my pets to my home! I highly recommend her!”

About: What sets me apart is that I’ve been around dogs my whole life, so I’m very comfortable reading their behavior and adjusting to their needs. I have experience with dog sitting and walking, and I’ve cared for a mix of personalities, from energetic puppies to more laid-back or older dogs. I’m also used to handling larger breeds, including dogs like German Shepherds, and I have one of my own. That’s made me confident with stronger dogs and more structured routines, whether that’s walks, basic training reinforcement, or just keeping things consistent for them. I have experience with younger pets as well, helping with things like potty routines and basic habits, and I’m patient with senior dogs who need a slower pace or a little extra attention. Overall, I try to keep things simple—making sure pets are safe, comfortable, and sticking to the routine they’re used to. Pet care fits into my routine in a structured but flexible way. I’m available most mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, with set commitments Tuesday–Thursday (7am–1pm and 5pm–8pm). I’m a single parent to an infant, so I do bring my daughter with me. She’s very calm, and I plan bookings carefully to make sure I can give both your pet and my child a safe, attentive environment. I also use public transportation, so I focus on locations I can reliably get to and be on time for. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay in a familiar, comfortable environment. I follow your routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific instructions you have. Walks are done in your neighborhood or pre-approved areas to keep things consistent and safe. I do bring my daughter with me. She has been around both small and large pets and is learning and practicing gentle, respectful pet manners. I always supervise interactions to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable.
