“Mindy was wonderful with our babies! Both dogs loved her right away at the meet and greet. She provided excellent care and she and Bentley played fetch together. I would highly recommend Mindy!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, cleaning, playtime, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m comfortable with pets of varying temperaments, including anxious or shy animals who may need extra patience and reassurance. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive, and I always aim to provide a calm, loving environment while pet parents are away. My schedule is currently flexible, which allows me to provide attentive care and accommodate a variety of pet routines and needs. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and most holidays, and I make communication and consistency a priority while caring for pets. The safety and well-being of every pet in my care is my top priority. I create a calm, secure, and supervised environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication instructions (if applicable), and any specific care needs. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can quickly respond to any signs of stress or discomfort. I always ensure pets are safely supervised during visits and walks, use secure leashes/harnesses when outside, and keep a clean, pet-friendly environment at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Trust and communication are very important to me, and I treat every pet and home with respect, care, and responsibility.
“Maryann does an amazing job! She is punctual and accommodating to my schedule. I love that she communicates with me about Penny’s visits and goes out of her way to make sure everyone is happy.”

About: I grew up surrounded by pets! I helped a lot as a kid with a relative who bred and cared for dogs. I’ve been paid and hired by multiple families previously to care and watch for their fur babies and it’s been a joy every time! I’ve even given pets medicine before with pills and even shots. Caring for a pet comes natural for me! I am currently a full time university student at ASU as a commuter. I have school Monday-Thursday but am still available in the afternoon, and I am always free on the weekends. I prioritize every pet’s safety by following routines, reading body language, and creating a calm, positive environment. I use secure leashes, safe walking routes, and gentle handling to build trust so pets feel comfortable, confident, and cared for at all times. It’s my pleasure to be able to walk these cute pups!

About: I raised our family golden retriever from 8 weeks old who is now up in MN living with my sister! She is like my baby, and that’s how I see animals. To me animals are not pets, they are individuals 🩵 Other than that I am looking to grow experience and just make some more animal friends! I do have intermediate experience with high level training as her purpose was to be a service dog. I am self employed, so can work from anywhere at anytime, and can fit my schedule around things very easily! Since I am my own boss, walking or stopping in to see your furry friend is a very wonderful break for me 😊 When I was raising our family’s golden retriever, there was a designated “Daisy Time” scheduled throughout the day. She got a great walk that was slow so she could smell whatever she wants, and go as long as she wanted, 10 minute training, cuddle time until she didn’t want to anymore, and focused play time for at least 20 minutes. I also always made sure she could be near me while working, and I trained her to ring a bell whenever she needed to go potty!
About: I have over 9 years of experience caring for pets and I grow up having dogs in the family. "I pride myself on building trust with both pets and owners. I regularly send updates, photos, and videos so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands." I’m speak English and Spanish I’m currently a stay home mom, I will have plenty of time to play with your pups.! My schedule is very much open to you and your pets need.

“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: I'm passionate about providing top-notch care for your furry friends! With 10 years of dog-sitting experience and a lifetime of growing up with dogs, I bring a deep love for canines and a wealth of knowledge to ensure your pets are happy and well-cared for. I specialize in staying active with dogs, whether it's long walks, playtime, or engaging activities tailored to their energy levels. I have extensive experience with both senior dogs and puppies, understanding their unique needs and providing the extra care they require. As the proud owner of two well-trained, large-breed dogs who get along great with others, I know how to foster a positive and safe environment. I'm also skilled at administering medication and accommodating any special needs your dog may have. Let me give your pup the love, attention, and care they deserve! As a passionate pet caregiver, I seamlessly integrate dog and cat care into my daily and weekly routine to ensure your furry friends receive the exercise, attention, and love they need. My schedule is structured to prioritize their well-being while maintaining flexibility to meet their unique needs. **Daily Routine:** Each morning, I start with a brisk walk or play session for dogs, depending on their energy levels, to get their exercise in early. For cats, I engage them with interactive toys. Throughout the day, I provide multiple check-ins, including feeding, fresh water, and potty breaks for dogs or litter box maintenance for cats. I make time for extra cuddles, grooming, or training sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. If medication is required, I administer it precisely as instructed. Evenings include another walk or playtime, ensuring dogs get ample exercise (at least 1-2 hours total daily) and cats receive focused attention to keep them content. Before bedtime, I ensure they’re settled with a calm environment, often spending quality time to reinforce our bond. **Weekly Routine:** On a weekly basis, I plan longer adventures for dogs, such as hikes or visits to dog-friendly parks (with owner approval), to mix up their exercise routine and provide new stimuli. For cats, I rotate toys and introduce enrichment activities. I schedule deep cleaning of pet areas, such as bedding or litter boxes, to maintain a hygienic space. My two well-trained, large-breed dogs, who are great with other pets, join in group activities when appropriate, fostering socialization for dogs or providing a calm presence for cats. I also set aside time to communicate with pet owners, sending updates or photos to keep them connected. My 10 years of experience and lifelong background with pets allow me to adapt my routine to accommodate senior pets or puppies/kittens, ensuring they get the extra care they need. By weaving pet care into my daily and weekly rhythm, I guarantee your dog or cat receives abundant exercise, personalized attention, and a nurturing environment, all while keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. Safety and trust are two very important things, especially when talking about pets. I’ve grown up with so many different kinds of animals, and each one of them have had different personalities! So if your dog is energetic, shy, skittish, or even lazy… I will take all necessary precautions to make sure your pet feels safe and anxious free! Especially if im in their home, dogs and cats can get very territorial and im fully prepared for any situation!
“2 dogs and 3 cats. Pleasant from the 1st meet & greet. Loved the photos daily. Good communication and on time for visits. It’s hard to find someone to trust, so look not further. This can be your person too. Thank you!!”

““She was amazing with my cats! She kept me updated, took great care of them, and made me feel very comfortable while I was away. My cats looked happy and well cared for in all the photos. I really appreciate her kindness and reliability. I would definitely book with her again!””

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m dependable, patient, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming, cleaning up after pets, giving medications if needed, and keeping pets on their normal routine. I’m also comfortable with energetic puppies, shy cats, and senior pets that need extra attention and patience. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always focus on making them happy and stress-free. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and staying active. I’m organized with my schedule and make sure pets get the attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and care they need throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning walks, check-ins during the day, or evening care, I’m reliable and consistent with routines. I also enjoy being outdoors and active, so taking dogs on walks or spending time playing with pets is something I look forward to every week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime, and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I also keep the home clean and respectful by cleaning up after pets, maintaining litter boxes if needed, and following any specific instructions the owner provides. I understand every pet has a different personality and routine, so I always try to give them patient, reliable, and personalized care in the environment they’re most comfortable in.
“Kimberly did a wonderful job! She sent pictures, walked the dogs, and when we came home I could tell that all the food and water had been looked after! I especially appreciated her taking the time to play with the dogs too! Definitely will hire her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was an early middle school and then just flourished from there. Took care of dogs from baby puppies all the way to full grown Pitbulls. I am super active and hyper flexible schedule to take your loved pet. I’m currently in school so I already have a very flexible schedule. I’m in my senior year so things have slowed down pretty quick. I can help animals in the mornings during the days and at night. When my pets are at home, I see them as my children. Always thinking when they need to be fed next, when they need to be let out and when they need to go on walks to keep them healthy, and another aspect is always making sure that they are comfortable
“Elizabeth was amazing dog sitting both my dogs. She followed all the instructions and requests, she even went above and beyond sent pictures of my pups. Would definitely have her watch my pups in the future and recommending her to friends and family.”


“Alex has been our go-to sitter for our kitties and we truly couldn’t ask for anyone better. Her daily photos and updates reassure us that our kitties are doing well at home while we are away and that peace of mind is everything. If you are looking for someone to ensure your kitties are well cared for while you are away from home, Alex is your person. Thank you for everything Alex.”
Surprise dog parents share their Rover experiences
Savannah was great and my dog loved her. She fed him, played with him and his squeeky toys and lots of petting and belly rubs. My Husky, Hatcher, had been fussy about eating his dog food and Savannah got him to eat his meals. I can recommend Savannah to anyone and will use her again for any future visits.

Sophia went WAY above and beyond what we asked of her with no questions asked. We were honestly expecting to return to a horrifically dirty house because of our 4 animals after a week! We returned to an almost spotless house with many countermeasures put in place to prevent our animals from destroying everything! Thanks Sophia!

We will absolutely be using Archariya for any of our future pet needs! She watched our French Bulldog, Buster, for a total of 4 days. She made sure all of our care instructions were met and Buster received tons of attention when she was at our home. She communicated with us at the end of each day on how Buster was doing and how his overall day was. I can’t recommend Archariya enough and we will definitely use her in the future!
