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!

About: I currently have a lab mix fur baby named Boris. I've also raised a German shepherd and a Keeshond. I give Boris lots of love, walks, and trips to the dog park, and I would love to care for your fur baby the same way. I'm open to caring for your loved one with or without mine on walks or at the dog park. I also love cats and would be happy to spend time playing, cuddling, or just making sure they are well fed. I love all animals and feel I connect with them. I'm responsible, reliable, and honest. I'm looking to change my career - yes, this late in life - to do something I've always wanted to do: share my love with as many fur babies as possible. You can count on me to provide friendly, fun, and responsible care for your fur baby! I am retired. My schedule is pretty open and flexible. I walk my dog. I also do social activities in my community 2 times a week. I can walk, sit and visit, feed and water your fur babies. I'm open to extra duties inside your home. I love to pet, cuddle and play.

“Annabelle is reliable and does great with Olives walks. Love getting her extra pictures of my girl when I’m stuck at work! Will definitely book again”

About: I've been surrounded by animals all my life. Dogs especially. I helped to raise an accidental litter of nine puppies with my mom who kept four of the puppies who are very happy. I'm experienced in taking care of waste, walks, food prepping, and overall patience to help however I can. I also have experience working overnight in a boarding facility where I feed, medicate, potty, and monitor anywhere from 15 to 40+ dogs. I can assure the utmost care and attention when I'm with your little(or big) ones. I'm currently free to work whenever. I'm eager to help out where I can and will reply to requests immediately. I have a puppy of my own and he's very happy and I love taking care of him alongside my partner. I don't currently have much space to take any animals into my own home but I will be completely willing to go to a clients house. I will take note of every specific need and happily take care of any tasks asked of me.

About: I have been surrounded by pets my entire life having grown up with 3 dogs in the household at all times and 2 cats. My neighbors would often rely on me when I was younger to take care of their animals when they were away, and I have had several coworkers now as an adult ask the same of me. I love pets, and I often find that even the shyest pets warmup to me. I have lots of experience with all ages of animals, and with taking care of all sorts of medical needs they might have. I am also excellent at following directions. At the end of the day this is your pet, and I would love to have the honor of taking care of them while you are away. I am currently studying at asu west MWF 9-10 and 3-4, so depending on how close to campus you live, I will be able to come see your pets in between those classes! Tuesdays is just 8-11am, but Thursdays I teach science in the mornings to homeschooled kids, and then have class right after from 3-6, making me unavailable from 8-6 unfortunately. I am living with my grandma, so my house is not available for sitting, but I will always be respectful of your house and your wishes on how you like your pets to be taken care of. I am also comfortable with creating when I leave if that is something you do.

About: I love taking care of animals and I have recently been pet sitting more and I love it. I grew up with 2 cats and 2 dogs. I’m in college right now so I miss being able to take care of animals so this is a way I still can! I am a college student currently and have a part time job but my schedule is pretty flexible and I can make pretty much anything work with enough notice! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I pay close attention to their routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs. My apartment is clean and pet-friendly, and I create a calm environment so they feel at home. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care.

“Taz is so knowledgeable about training. Taz suggested I walk my puppy with a toy to help burn off that puppy energy. Taz is prompt and communicative. I plan to board with her in a couple of weeks.”

About: I’m so grateful to have always been surrounded by furry family members as my household has never been without the wonderful presence of dogs, cats, or even various rodents/reptiles/birds throughout the years 😂 So, while 20+ years of personal experience may technically be accurate, I’d say that a majority of my experience was gained within the past 8 years: learning and experiencing responsibility, hardship, and companionship through my own kitties and doggos, volunteering at cat shelters, and overnight dog sitting for family members with variously aged pets. Through these opportunities, I was able to gain experience with a wide range of pets from energetic puppies that love to chew and play all day to senior dogs that may need meds given or diapers changed and shy/scared kitties that need lots of patience and kindness to playful cats that want constant attention and affection :) I'm excited to become part of your pets' lives whether that consists of play time and pets during a check-in or cuddles on the couch while I keep them company overnight! I would love to become your pet’s new best friend! I work part time at a couple of jobs, but that won’t stop me from doing whatever I can to fit you and your fur baby’s into my schedule ☺️✨ I have experience with many types of dogs and cats through growing up surrounded by them, getting to meet many others in cat shelters while volunteering, and family members' homes during overnight dog sitting. As a result, I am very used to cleaning litter boxes or various pet messes, sticking to feeding, med, or bed time routines and schedules, and dealing with pets that may not always be on their best behavior or are nervous meeting a stranger. Other than that, I am quick to reply and can give you frequent updates with pictures on the well-being of your loved ones!

About: I miss having a dog, but would like to enjoy and benefit from the love of a dog by sitting with yours, currently restricted on owning a pet where I live please let me love your dog. I am currently retired so I look forward to spending quality time with your pet. Just let me know your needs and I will deliver. I just spent two weeks caring for a standard poodle, we took daily walks, playtime, grooming, and scheduled feedings. I will abide by your dog schedule.

About: For over two decades, dogs have been a core part of my life. I’ve raised and cared for pups of all ages, temperaments, and sizes—from energetic puppies to senior companions. I currently share my home with a sweet 13‑year‑old Siberian Husky a playful 3‑year‑old Pomeranian, and a brand new 9 week old Pomeranian puppy so I’m comfortable with both large and small breeds, as well as mixed energy levels. Whether your pup needs structured walks, patient senior care, or just a reliable sitter who understands dog behavior, I’m here to help. I was born and raised in Peoria, AZ, and I’ve spent the last 20 years building a career at T‑Mobile before deciding to take time to focus on the things I’m truly passionate about—dogs, connection, adventures and creating a life with more balance. I’ve been with my girlfriend for 18 years, and together we’ve built a home filled with love, stability and happiness. I don’t have any career getting in the way of taking care of your dog during the week! I provide a safe, calm, and supervised environment where pets get consistent routines, regular potty breaks, and personalized attention. I treat every dog like my own and ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and understood. I create a relaxed, loving space where pets can settle in and feel at home. I follow their normal routines, offer plenty of affection, and make sure they’re always supervised, comfortable, and cared for.

About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for all kinds of pets, including fish, hedgehogs, hamsters, cats, and dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities! Whether it's feeding the fish, giving belly rubs, or handling high-energy pups, I'm here to give your fur (and fin!) babies the love and attention they deserve. I work from home and have Fridays and weekends available for assisting and caring for your pet! Whether you need someone to stop by for a potty break while you’re at work or out for dinner with friends, or you need help while you’re out of town, I’m available to help! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I care for your pets in their own home, where they feel secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I follow your routines closely—whether it's mealtime, walks, or meds—and always treat your home with the utmost respect and care. You can count on me to keep things calm, clean, and pawsitively peaceful while you're away.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, and helped two of my dogs cross over the rainbow bridge when they got cancer. I have basic experience with injections and first aid for dogs and cats. I love all dogs of all sizes! Even the high maintenance ones! I just moved here from Washington DC where I did part time dog overnights. I also currently live in The Grand community! I teach remotely three days a week, which allows me to be home and present throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, as I already prioritize daily walks and staying active (I aim for over 10,000 steps each day). I’m happy to have your dog as my walking companion and include them in my structured, consistent schedule. Your pet will not be left alone for long periods and will receive steady attention, exercise, and companionship. I provide reliable, attentive dog sitting and overnight care in a calm, safe environment. I stick closely to your dog’s normal routine—feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of affection—so they feel secure while you’re away. I’m experienced with different temperaments and prioritize clear communication, including daily updates and photos, so you always know your pup is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I have had animals my whole life. I have experience with pets, working dogs , and livestock / farm animals. I’m hoping to be more involved in what i love ! not only is this great experience for my future but it’s also something I genuinely enjoy doing i have pretty open availability because i’m online school but i do have animals of my own to tend to, i just prefer not crazy long hours :)! I like to take care of others animals like I do my own when it comes to maintaining a clean , safe and fun environment. I already have knowledge from kennel technician job so I know what’s expected.

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 cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, tortoises, and fish, and have experience pet sitting overnight for many families. I'm especially passionate about caring for senior pets and those with physical disabilities. I've cared for two elderly dogs with mobility challenges, including one who lost the use of their back legs and needed assistance getting around and going outside. I understand that these pets require extra patience, gentleness, and individualized care, and I'm committed to making them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also volunteered for two years at a cat shelter, where I fed cats, deep-cleaned kennels and litter boxes, monitored their health, and administered medications according to their care plans. I also have experience giving medications to dogs. While I'm not a certified trainer, I've trained my own dogs and know how important consistency is. I'm happy to follow your pet's established commands, routines, and house rules to help them feel secure and maintain good habits. Living in Arizona has made me very flexible with schedules, including early morning or late evening walks during the summer heat. Above all, I know pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want for my own. As a graduate student, I attend classes Tuesday through Thursday, but I stay overnight in your home and return as soon as my classes are finished. My class schedule is consistent each week, so you'll always know when I'll be away and when I'll be back. I'm fully available Friday through Monday. I'm happy to discuss your pet's needs to make sure my schedule is a good fit. I believe the best pet care starts with keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow your feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions, and any household rules or commands your pet is already familiar with so they feel comfortable while you're away. Whether I'm caring for a playful puppy, an independent cat, or a senior pet who needs extra assistance, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, make sure fresh water is always available, and provide plenty of affection while respecting each pet's individual personality and boundaries. I also know how important communication is when someone else is caring for your pet. I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
