“Jonathan was fantastic. Responded to a very short-notice request; asked about special needs; was on-time and did a fabulous walk. Will use him again!”

Tim V.

“Krysten has provided excellent care for Xander for the time scheduled. Xander was comfortable and content. I received pictures of his daily smiles. I will definitely schedule with Krysten as the need arises in the future.”

About: About Me 😸 Hi, I'm Maggie! I bring extensive, professional hands-on veterinary industry (including ER) experience to every pet I care for. For me, pet sitting isn't a hobby—it is a commitment to providing the absolute highest standard of safety, comfort, and specialized care. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walking partner or your senior cat requires a gentle, patient companion, I tailor my routine entirely to your pet's unique personality and medical needs. Why Choose Me? • Advanced Medical Knowledge: With my veterinary background, I am completely comfortable administering oral medications, topical treatments, and injections. I can expertly read animal body language to spot subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or medical changes before they become issues. • Special Needs & Senior Care Experts: I welcome senior pets, puppies, and animals recovering from surgery or managing chronic illnesses. I know exactly how to maintain strict care schedules. • Safety First, Always: My industry experience means I treat emergency preparedness as a top priority. You will receive regular, detailed updates and photo check-ins so you can enjoy your time away with 100% peace of mind. Please reach out with any questions or to schedule a Meet & Greet! Because pet care is my primary focus, your pet will never be left alone for long periods. • Boarding / House Sitting: I maintain a consistent, predictable routine. Pets are never left unattended for more than 2 to 4 hours at a time, ensuring plenty of potty breaks, mental stimulation, and companionship. • Drop-Ins / Walks: I offer flexible scheduling windows throughout the day. I arrive promptly within our agreed-upon time frame so your pet's feeding and medication schedule remains perfectly on track. Safety and respect for your property are my absolute highest priorities. I treat your home with the utmost care and maintain strict safety protocols to ensure your pets remain secure and comfortable in their own familiar environment: • Home Security & Vigilance: I strictly follow your locking preferences, arm security alarms precisely as instructed, and ensure all windows and gates are securely closed before leaving or going to sleep. I keep a low profile to ensure your home looks occupied and secure. • Escaping Prevention: I am incredibly vigilant about "door-darting." I use careful entry and exit barriers to ensure pets never have the opportunity to slip outside accidentally. During walks, dogs are always kept on secure, reliable leashes—never off-leash in unsecured areas. • Health & Behavioral Monitoring: I perform daily, subtle health checks (monitoring appetite, energy levels, and bathroom habits). Because of my professional background, I can spot the earliest signs of stress, bloat, or discomfort and act immediately. • Emergency Preparedness: I keep the contact information for your primary veterinarian and the nearest 24/7 emergency pet hospital easily accessible. If an unexpected home issue arises (like a leak or power outage), I will handle it calmly and contact you immediately.

“Tamara did such a great job caring for Arlo. She took a few extra minutes on the first day to meet Arlo so he could get warmed up to her. She also was very punctual with the scheduled times. I will be asking for her help as needs arise in the future!”

“Alex was friendly, professional, easy to work with and went out of her way to coordinate with my family about waking our dogs. Absolutely will be calling her again!”

About: From bulldogs to chihuahuas. I encourage lots of love and care and even know how to groom if necessary. I am home full time living with my fiancée, both of us are passionate about all animals. Both of us have or have had dogs of our own, I myself have worked with dogs in grooming, puppy daycare, and in a veterinary clinic. Each dog has their own unique personality, and it's important to cater to each dog and listen to them rather than assume you know what to do. All dogs deserve proper care and attentiveness and I can confidently say I can provide both and more for every dog I meet. Thank you kindly. Currently I am building my professional career working for vet clinics and rescues where needed, in the meantime I like to provide for my community by helping those with pet care when days get busy. After years working with pet parents and their critters, I know the importance of keeping them safe and happy. I like to build trust with a pet, reassuring them that I am someone they can feel comfortable with, here to help and not to invade their space.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and had other animals like turtles, hamsters, guinea pig and cats but size doesn’t matter to me. I’m free pretty much most days I work online and have classes online so I’m able to be home all day if needed by you. I’ve had animals all my life and I love them all to death. My dog of 14 years recently passed away a couple of months ago so I looking to get more experience with any animal.

“Thank you Leanne! Matcha looks really happy ? thank u for the pictures”

About: Hi! I’m Kenzie, and I’ve always been an animal lover. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I have a friendly, energetic, medium-sized female Brittany Spaniel of my own, so I’m very comfortable with active dogs and all the exercise, playtime, and attention that comes with them! She loves other dogs and is always happy to have a new friend to play with. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether they’re high-energy and ready for a long walk or happiest relaxing at home. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of your pet’s normal routine. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while they’re in my care! I am currently at home Monday through Friday And will be home with your pet all day while they are in our home. I'm very flexible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and make sure your pet has a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while they’re with me. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep you updated along the way.

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’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 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: My love for dogs started with my family dog Dingo and grew when I worked at pet smart during college. I now have 4 small dogs around ages 10-11, two Maltishus and two Morkies. But I love dogs of all sizes! Willing to walk or drop in and help take care of your doggies. I work from home during the week so my schedule is flexible! I am also willing to help out on weekends as well if needed :) I am comfortable stopping by to let your dog out, play some fetch, have some cuddles or take them for a walk during the cooler periods in the mornings or evenings.

About: I believe dogs are one of God's best creations as they bring so much joy and happiness in cute, snuggly form. They are smart and hilarious, and each one has a unique personality. I believe in simple boundaries with them and rewards for good behavior, with space for relaxation and some for play time. My schedule is very flexible which gives me freedom to take your dog for a morning walk, play with them mid-day, feed them dinner, or just hang out. My friends have trusted me to drop in during their busy work days for years. When boarding your dog at our home, I will often play with the dog inside where it's cool, and take them for leashed walks through our neighborhood. We do not have a fence so there is no outside free roaming at this time.

“Emily was amazing!! I had a lot to do today and needed to find somebody last minute and she came through! She’s great at responding and my puppies were definitely tired after walking with her! 💗”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life — from dogs and cats to birds and bunnies — and caring for them comes as naturally to me as breathing. Our home was always full of furry (and sometimes feathered!) friends, and that love has only grown over the years. When you trust me with your pet, you’re not just hiring a sitter — you’re choosing someone who will treat them like family. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or simply keeping them company, your pet will be safe, happy, and deeply loved. Let me give you peace of mind while you’re away — your fur baby will be in warm, caring hands! 🔆😊 I work from home full-time, which means I have the flexibility and availability to give your pets the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether they need extra playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll be there to accommodate their needs. Just let me know when you need me — I’m ready to help! I live in an apartment with my husband, our 2-year-old boy, and our dog who loves the company of other fur buddies! We have a dog park right inside our complex, perfect for safe, fun playtime and daily walks. It’s a calm, loving environment where your pet will feel right at home.

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.
