I absolutely love animals and I take care of my friends dogs whenever she is out of town. I have two kiddos who are pet lovers as well.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years - for friends, family and clients! Patience and snuggles are my motto! I can’t remember a time in my life I didn’t have an animal in my life personally and love when I’m able to help others! I work from home in a pretty flexible job- so I get to spend plenty of time with my furry friends throughout the day! Walks, pets, snuggles and treats! I lean towards what makes you feel best! I am used to animals that are well trained and ones that are still learning and growing. Safety of the pets and those around are always what is most important!
About: I’ve had a dog all my life. I have helped watch over my aunts family’s dog when they are out of town. I have experience with all kinds of dogs! I personally have a small dog, a Maltipoo Terrier, but other family members have mediums sized and big dogs as well! I love taking my dog on walks and playing with her. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best take care of your animal! I am currently working a part-time job and am looking to make some extra money and play with animals, so I have enough time for dog walking, house sitting, and house calls! I am available most nights for house sitting and walking or just drop ins depending on when I get the message! I love to just sit down and play with them, either with their toys or just running around, and hanging out and chilling with them! I make sure they are fed, hydrated, clean, and loved!
About: I LOVE taking care of animals! I pride myself in giving them comfort and love while their owners are away. I’ve taken care of many different age range animals and health conditions for over 5 years. I am currently working part time and have availability in the early mornings, after 1:30pm and evenings as well. I can do one time checks ins or up to three if needed, I know everyone’s babies are different and may need more than one check in a day. On the weekends I’m also available! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your care instructions, keep their routine consistent, and treat them like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or extra cuddles, you can count on me to provide dependable, loving care while keeping you updated with messages and photos if requested.

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs for about 10 years. I spent a number of years in California as a foster for an animal shelter where I took care of dogs of all ages. I have experience taking care of pets with varied medical needs. I have three small dogs of my own all under 8 lbs, so my home is perfect for socializing your pet. We are cat and dog friendly. I am retired schoolteacher, so I am home full time and available seven days a week. Your pets will get a lot of individual attention. I have a small fenced yard, a large front porch and two friendly dogs under 8 lbs. My home is perfect for socialization, and I will give your pet a lot of attention. I can easily crate your animal if preferred.
“Molly was amazing with our 2 senior Shih Tzus! This was the first time we had left them, and it was so nice to know they were in good hands. Molly took great care of them, and updated us every day. It was the best feeling walking in to see their sweet faces when we got back - safe and sound!”
About: I’m an experienced and devoted dog mom, foster parent, and shelter volunteer. I have hands-on experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and backgrounds. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and extremely safety-conscious. I’ll always treat your fur baby with the same love, care, and protection I give my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care is currently my full-time focus, easily fitting around my online classes and gym routine. Daily dog walks double as my cardio, with walks scheduled around Arizona’s heat for safety. I prefer dogs to have protective shoes for hot pavement and always prioritize their comfort, exercise, and routine. 🐾☀️ Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a great neighborhood with a fully enclosed brick-walled backyard, providing a secure space for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks. My home has plenty of toys, enrichment, and love thanks to my own dog, who is friendly with other dogs. If you prefer your fur baby to remain separate from my dog, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I have several spare rooms and a home office, so I can provide your pet with their own safe, comfortable, quiet space while still giving them plenty of individual attention and companionship. I will always follow your pet’s routines, boundaries, feeding instructions, and safety preferences so they can feel safe, loved, and right at home. 🐾❤️

“Leslie is so great! She fed and administered meds to our two kitties for four days while we were away on a trip. We could tell right away at our meet & greet that she is very good with animals. Even our normally shy / skittish kitty came out of the back room and went right up to Leslie to greet her. When we got home my wife commented on how good our one kitty who receives meds looked, and they both were happy and relaxed; none of the complaining ‘I’m mad because you’ve been gone!’ Meowing that we used to get upon returning. Thank you, Leslie! Highly recommended, and we definitely will be booking her again if we can!”
“Friendly and professional service. Good with communicating arrival times, any issues and status updates on the walking / feeding went of my dog. Would recommend and use Kathy’s services again.”
“The most attentive and detail oriented care we have ever had with our animals. Have used her multiple times and each time she goes above and beyond for our fur animals The most grateful for her communication. If I could give Stephanie more stars, I would!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and just love them! I have two of my own, Tymber and Champ. A black lab and chihuahua. They are my world! I currently work during the week but would have time to walk if needed, but my weekends are free to love on your dog or dogs! I have two friendly dogs to keep your pup company or i can watch at your home! Whatever you feel most comfortable with. We can have our dogs meet first as well. ☺️

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Surprise
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!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Surprise choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
