“Sara was amazing with my boy, Nox. Despite needing to make a few modifications to the booking because of unexpected work plans, I am grateful Sara was able to accomodate my schedule changes. She had great communication and would update me with photos regularly. It gave me total piece of mind that my dog was in good hands. I'd be happy work with Sara again in the future.”

About: Hi there, I’m Gloria, and I truly treat every pet like family! 🐾 I spent a year as an Animal Care & Experience Specialist at an animal shelter, so I’m happy to help with everything from feeding and cleaning to socialization and enrichment. I’ve cared for playful puppies, tiny kittens, and sweet seniors, and I’m comfortable giving medication when needed. With my master’s in Applied Psychology, I’m great at reading body language and helping shy or anxious pets feel safe and loved. Whether it’s a cuddly cat or a big, energetic Doberman-sized buddy, I’d love to give your pet lots of attention, patience, and fun. Your furry family member will be in great hands! I work two part-time jobs, so my schedule is very flexible, and I can easily make time for morning walks, midday visits, evening feeding, or last-minute requests. I’m happy to keep a consistent routine for your pet, whether that’s a daily walk, regular check-ins, or a few days of sitting while you’re away. Just let me know what works for you, and I’ll make it happen! I will give each pet plenty of attention, whether that means playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, while also respecting their boundaries and personality. I will keep food and water fresh, make sure all the windows and doors are secure. I will also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages.

About: I grew up in a home that always had multiple animals. As an adult I opted for the ease of a cat companion. So I have never lived in a house without at least a dog or a cat. I have provided multiple pet services for friends, neighbors, and aquaintances including pet sitting, dog walking, drop-ins, and even picking up dog poo. I have experience in medication and emergency vet visits. I work mostly remote and some days go out on work appointments. Due to Arizona heat I can do walks from 7-9 AM and 6-8 PM. Drop-ins, I can do 7-10 and 3-9. I will speak to you about your pets normal day of activities. I follow the set feeding schedule and serve only owner approved pet food.

“Kathleen’s communication was great, she was timely and sent wonderful pictures from the walk! She was prompt in responding to our walk request and very kind! Would definitely use Kathleen again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats ever since I was able to be left home alone. Often times taking care of my parent’s pets, most of whom were energetic labs, over weekends while my parents were out of town. Into adulthood I’ve continued to take care of my parent’s and friend’s animals. I’ve volunteered at my hometown’s Humane Society taking care of animals from puppies and kittens to seniors. I am a responsible person who will make sure that your baby is well looked for and will provide a safe and comforting experience for them while they are in my care. I currently work part time in the evenings and weekends. Making my schedule perfect for when you need a sitter while you’re at work! I also have a few gaps a few weeks in the year where I can be more available for your pet! Not only have I pet sit before but I’ve also house sat a few times. I will treat your home with the upmost respect and can even water a few plants on top of pet care! I’m comfortable being alone with numerous pets of all sizes and will treat their space with care.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter with over 7 years of experience caring for dogs through in-home sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I previously worked for a dog training business, where I learned proper leash handling, dog behavior, and positive training techniques that I continue to use while caring for every dog. I’m also certified by the Arizona Humane Society in dog care, giving me additional knowledge in safe handling and animal welfare. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including senior dogs who require daily oral medications, and I always strive to make each pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. As a graduate student and educator, I’m dependable, organized, and great at communicating. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. As a graduate student, I have a consistent schedule that allows me to provide reliable morning and evening visits throughout the week. My visits include feeding, walks or playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I may also be available for overnight stays on select weekends. I always prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine and providing dependable care you can count on. Due to my years of experience, I am able to provide your dog(s) with the attention and care that they require. Whether it be crate training, water & shade on walks, or play!

About: If you're looking for someone to care for your dog as if they were their own, I'm the person you want. I absolutely love dogs and after losing my sweet girl Kenya after 12 short years, I have so much love to give. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always trained them myself. I stay consistent and patient when teaching new commands or tricks, and of course, I always have treats by my side. Since moving to Arizona 10 years ago, I’ve rescued over 25 dogs off the street and helped them find new homes. I've recently retired early and I'm looking to integrate pet care into my daily routine. I like to stay active and would love to spend more time walking, playing with, and caring for dogs. I am happy to brighten a dogs day and to make a positive impact on the lives of others' furry friends. I am available for walking and in-home visits. Depending on your needs (or the dogs) I can offer a leisurely stroll with lots of stops for smelling or quicker paced walking or even jogging to get that energy out. I am also happy to administer care with provided instructions. I can be avaibale as a cuddly companion to your dog or a fun playing partner. I am also happy to help keep their brains stimulated with some beginer training sessions-some of my favorites to teach are "spin," "search" and "touch". Feel free to ask me what you need help with and I can give you an answer. I care for each dog like they are my own, I genuinely would love to care for yours.

About: I’ve been around/taken care of dogs and other animals since I was about 10 years old. I’ve owned cats, dogs, and other animals ever since. I have also taken care of neighbors, siblings, and friends pets over the years! I am currently a student at ASU so I am providing pet sitting services on here since that works best with my class schedule! I currently only have one in-person class so I have a very flexible schedule to make visits with your fur babies! Whenever I care for someone fur baby, I always follow the owner’s instructions to a T! Routine is definitely important for animals just as much as humans.

“They are doing awesome and are great with Kennedy. Kennedy is very shy and really tough to get her to feel comfortable but she immediately took a liking to Kayla and we could not be more pleased with that.”

About: Hello!! My name is Brooklynn and I've been watching animals since I was 14 and absolutely love it. I'm a biology graduate student which allows me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I have lots of experience with both puppies and nervous rescues, and am happy to take care of any other pets too. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets :) In addition to adult dogs, I have experience watching puppies that are currently in training. If you need a sitter who can practice training/potty skills with patience, I have to experience to help keep up those skills while you're away. And a little fun fact about me: I'm actually getting my PhD in evolutionary biology right now studying nonhuman primates. My lab also studies dog aging and social behavior. Overall I really just an am animal lover and have decided to pursue that in my career. I can't wait to come meet your pets! I'm currently a graduate student at ASU, and my schedule is very flexible. I occasionally have meetings on campus, but a lot of my work can be done from any place with wifi! When I care for dogs overnight I will stay in my clients house for the duration of their trip. This usually makes anxious animals a lot more comfortable while their owners are away, which is always important to me! If the dogs are used to being walked, I make sure to keep up with their walking schedule and get them plenty of exercise.

About: I have owned pets my whole life and have a passion for taking care of furry friends! I began sitting for friends and neighbors when I was really young and grew up helping my grandmother and aunt who both ran their own doggy daycare and sitting businesses. I am well versed in dog walking, stopping in to check on pups, and overnight stays. While I am most experienced in smaller to medium sized dogs I have watched over all types of breeds and I am confident in taking care of any dog! I currently have a part time job that only takes up about 6-7 hours a week. I am extremely flexible and available early mornings and late nights. Pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I make sure to create a clean, safe, and comfortable environment to make sure your dog feels at home. I am extremely attentive and take care instructions very seriously. I will always ensure that your dog receives the right amount of supervision, exercise, and affection!

“Amazing as always!”

“I can’t begin to explain how nice it is to have found a dog sitter I trust. Kelly was professional and adhered to all of my specific requirements I have for my pups- she was communicative (big need for me) and safe. I sometimes have a stray dogs in the neighborhood and need her to stay alert and go in the opposite direction or even pick up my dog if safety becomes an issue. She alerted me of the stray and prioritized my dog’s safety. Amazing!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. My grandmother has trained golden retrievers year after year in things like search and rescue, and agility ever since I can remember. I've participated in the trainings as a kid, and that's when I first fell in love with animals. I can check in with your pet while you are away, and spend time with them in your absence. I can feed, exercise, and do whatever it takes to keep your pet happy while you are away. I've been using Rover for a decade now, and I love it. I'm an easy-going person who loves hiking and a good Netflix show when I'm not at work or working with Rover. I've lived in Arizona for over seven years, and I love exploring and making new animal friends. I love spending time with animals, so caring for other’s’ fits into my routine perfectly! I currently work 7-4pm in Scottsdale, so I am able to pet/house sit around those hours. I am an early morning person and I have no problem getting up early to play with you pet(s) prior to going in to work! I provide a loving an nuturing environment for your pet while you are away. When your pet is in my care, they will feel comfortable, safe, and happy.

About: I’ve lived with small dogs to large dogs all of my life. I’ve had experience with puppies and elderly dogs aswell. My dogs have also had medical problems so I am knowledgeable about special needs. I’m currently a college student and take all of my courses online. I work as a hostess! My availability is very flexible and I’m willing to work with any accommodations! Your pets will get plenty of love, attention, and daily walks to keep them happy and healthy! I am able to do in house sit, walks, and drop ins!

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Growing up, I cared for my own small dog and regularly watched family members’ and neighbors’ dogs through walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’ve also expanded my experience by volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I walk and care for dogs with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. I have delt with numerous dogs with high energy personalities or sometimes ones with bad behavior habits. I always handle situations with care and would love to wear your dog out! I genuinely love being around animals and always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m very attentive, reliable, and responsible, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, providing exercise and enrichment, or simply giving dogs lots of attention and affection. My goal is always to treat every dog like they’re my own and provide the best care possible. When visiting your fur baby I would love to take them on a walk have a good play session and give them all the attentive care they need! I have a very open availability and if I get a request enough in advance, I am willing to take off work in order to work around my client's schedule! Even if I do have work, it is part-time only for a couple of hours and can care for your furry loved ones right when I get off! With my current situation, I am only able to care for large pets such as dogs in my client’s home. I have a reliable mode of transportation meaning I can drive myself whenever needed. I have plenty of space in an extra room to care for small pets if that is the case!

About: I'm gonna be honest and say that I don't have any "professional experience," BUT I have pet sat and house sat for my family members multiple times when they've gone out of town, so I do have something under my belt. I have also been surrounded by a number of both cats and dogs since I was a baby, which I have had the pleasure of taking care of and growing up with. I love animals of every kind, even the mean ones, and I would love to love yours too. I'm currently a full-time student, but half of my schedule is online, which frees up a lot of my time to take care of sweet fluffy babies! (Which is what I'd rather be doing anyway, so...) Whatever is most comfortable for you and your pets is what I will roll with. I am not in the business of messing up any routines, so you just let me know exactly what you want done for your pet and it'll happen. Boom.

About: Hi! I used to take my family member's dog's on walks growing up, even sitted several times. I absolutely love animals and I am more than happy to keep them company, play with them, and take them on walks or to the dog park while you're out of town! I have open availability after 2 pm, with exception on Tuesday & Wednesday (open availability), just let me know when you’ll need me and I can make something work! While I’m staying in your home, I can also do some chores around the house--get the mail, take out the trash, wash dishes, pick up poop in the backyard, etc. I will follow all instructions given for feeding, giving medication, walks, etc. I am also very happy to just hang out at your house with your pets if that's what you/they prefer. I have a full time job but I still make time to play with my roommates dog at home. I love to take dogs on walks and it also helps that this keeps me productive throughout the day. All care needs must be discussed in advance and will mostly depend on the needs of the pets and the resources offered by the family.
