About: Hi, I’m Sara, and I’m happy to welcome your doggy as a member of our family! We only board one pet at a time, making our home ideal for dogs who are best when they are the only pet in the home. I work from home which allows me the flexibility to create time for caring for pets including taking them out for walks or jogs (if they’re up for it) along the trails nearby. I will follow individual pet care instructions, if provided but if not our daily routine consists of a morning routine walk and feeding time, one to two more short walks in the afternoon, second feeding and a walk in the evening. Depending on their energy levels we’ll include indoor play/fetch time. But if they’re happy to just sit and relax, we like to do that too :) When boarding your pet, I follow all care instructions you provide. Including feeding times, and oral medications if needed. I only care for 1 dog at a time, making it a suitable home for doggies who prefer their own company and not being around other pets. My apartment home is spacious. The community is pet-friendly and we have a fitness/biking trail just in our backyard. I live 3 miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor making it convenient for drop-off/ pickup.

“Gabriela was super sweet, location was easy to find and she was great with Zoro. She followed up throughout Doggy Day Care and sent pictures and videos. All of his needs and schedule routine was met. I will definitely be booking with her again !”


About: I've trained many puppies and am currently a dog mama to two. I know how important it is to find a loving, fun and patient sitter who is affordable. I do my best to make the dogs feel at home while you are away. I am happy to incorporate any of their daily routines while you are away--just let me know 😊 I am home most of the day with my own pups as I have a flexible daily schedule. A big part of my schedule are dogs! I make sure they get all the love and fun they need every day. I have a big yard that the dogs love to play in when it's not too hot! If it is too hot out, we have plenty room inside and toys to play with or couches to relax on. Cuddles are a for sure thing in our home (unless your dog prefers his own bed). If visiting your home, I try to make sure I keep up what is familiar to them!

About: I am extremely passionate about caring for animals. I grew up around dogs and love their energetic, loving, loyal nature. Currently I have a full house of 2 cats and a German Sheppard and am taking up dog walking and pet sitting as a hobby in my free time. I have experience with giving medicine, putting on walking booties, giving exercise, providing enrichment, fostering back to health, socialization, etc in both dogs and cats. Please let me know your pets need and I will go above and beyond to fulfill it. Due to a recent layoff, my schedule is completely free. I would like to work mostly in the AM, but am happy to assist you at an time of the day. I will follow your instructions to provide the best care for your pets in your home and on walks. Please give me instructions regarding feeding, playing, bathroom breaks, and any additional information that needs to be known.

“Olivia is fantastic. She is kind, gentle and nurturing! Our girl had a blast and knocked out on the car ride home. She is a happy pup today thanks to Olivia and our new doggo friends! Would 100% recommend and use Olivia again! Thank you for loving her as your own!”


About: I had a dog and cat all growing up. About six years ago I started watching other people’s pets in order to help out. Really enjoy knowing pets are being treated properly and really happy I have the opportunity to give them a safe place away from home! Taking the summer off of work to get focused on school and set myself up for success. Do you work part-time however have a lot of availability to care for your animal! I don’t have any other pets in my apartment yours would be the only one! Will be home, so we’ll be able to take out your animal for a nice little walk at appropriate parts of the day!

About: I’ve dog sat for many years now, I’ve just now discovered this app! I’m well accustomed to living in the houses I’m staying at and will probably be cleanest man you’ll meet! I’m 20 years old studying Health Care Compliance and Regulations at ASU. I’m an online student, meaning besides my job at Starbucks I have no obligations to leave the dogs I’m watching! I’m a caring and loving person by nature and have loved animals my whole life growing up! I have experience watching farms with an acre or so, so if u happen to have farm animals I can definitely care for them as well. I’ve ridden horses for about 6 years now and used to show at National level completions around the states. I’m a hard worker, a good listener, and promise you that you won’t find someone out there better than me for this job.

“Madison and Austin took great care of our dog Blake when we needed to both be at work for the day. Blake can be anxious around new people, and they were attentive to that and made sure we brought some of Blake's things (pad/blanket, toys, treats) so that they could make him comfortable. Blake had a great day with them and settled in and Madison provided updates throughout the day to let us know how it was going. And of course the next time Blake saw Madison and Austin he was jumping up and shaking his body all over to greet his new friends. We appreciated how patient they were with Blake (and us) and highly recommend them to take care of your dog.”


“Danielle and Kyle were so accommodating to my hectic day and change of plans. My dog has a lot of energy and they seemed to handle her just fine. My pupster was clearly worn out as she went straight to bed once we got home. That’s exactly what I’m looking for when it comes to a sitter and a day experience for her, somewhere where she will have another awesome dog to play with, kind (and command following hosts), and just an overall loving and welcome experience. Will definitely use them again! My pup was soooooo happy with her experience and so was I!”

About: Hello my name is Abby! I have two of my own dogs a Great Dane and a shitzu poodle, so I am experienced with all sizes.

About: I've had dogs in my life since day 1, and started professionally taking care of dogs as a vet assistant when I was 16. I originally went to college to study veterinary medicine, and while I changed trajectories to study biology and get my PhD instead, I'm just as passionate of a dog lover as I ever was! I have experience treating minor ailments, identifying obscure health issues, training, loving, cleaning, and caring for dogs of all sizes. I've also volunteered at animal shelters since I was a teenager and have experience working with aggressive dogs, high energy dogs, low energy dogs, and honestly everything in between! As a PhD student, my schedule is extremely flexible. I can easily fit pet care into any part of my day, any day a week. I have a very sweet and happy dog at home that loves to hang with other dogs, including the less social ones. My house is large and includes a doggy door and a fully fenced backyard. I have a crate if you'd prefer your dog to be crated. If working on campus, I stillI come home every couple hours to give my dog attention and can easily do the same for yours!

Emily B.
“Emily has owned many pets in her life, she has taken and shown full responsibility for all of them. Her last pet was a kitten whom she fostered and was one of the best cat mom’s I have ever seen towards it. She loves all animals and has a very strong love for our canine friends. She is extremely loyal helping to build trust in a dog fast since I believe dogs can judge our character fast. Dogs seem to always be attracted to her and show love, while she shows love and sympathy right back. Emily is a perfect pet owner, always making sure her pets are well fed, groomed, and well taken care for overall. You can not go wrong with trusting her to take care of an animal and having it love her as if she was it’s own mother in the end.”

“Nicole is very responsible and I would 100% trust her to take care of my dog and make her feel loved. She has been an animal lover all her life and will go the extra mile for the dogs she walks. She has her own dog and therefore is experienced in reading signals and knowing what dogs need depending on the circumstances. I would and have trusted her with my own dog, the most important thing in my life! Highly recommend.”
