Alexis is an amazing sitter and I can’t recommend her enough! Awesome rapport with our cat and she is very responsive. I know when we leave town that our cat is in great hands with Alexis.

This was our second time entrusting our fur babies with Cindy and again she exceeded our expectations. She did check-ins everyday for a week at the same time and was on time for every one. She even stayed late a couple times to make sure my kitties were happy and comfortable. We will definitely be booking her again.

About: I have experience caring for my own dogs back home, which has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. As a dog lover, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I understand that pets are family, and I will care for your dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your furry friend receives the care and attention they need while you’re away. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of free time to give your pup the attention, care, and playtime they deserve. I’m available on Wednesdays and weekends, and I love spending time with dogs, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. Your furry friend will be treated with the same love and care I give my own dogs. I currently live in an apartment, so I don’t have a yard. However, that doesn’t stop us from having fun! We can go on walks around the neighborhood or enjoy a stroll at Tempe Town Lake. If your pup prefers a quieter day, I’m also happy to spend time cuddling, playing indoors, and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home.

About: I love animals and have been caring for them for as long as I can remember! I’ll make your experience as smooth and worry-free as possible by paying attention to your pet’s unique needs. I have experience with many different breeds and temperaments. I have worked with senior dogs who need medications or just some extra attention. I also know how to handle puppies as I have raised one myself. My weekdays are wide open! I work as a server at a bar which gives me lots of free time. I have some slots on the weekends as well (before 1pm). I appreciate your trust with your pet because I know they are family to us! I’ll do everything I can to keep your pet entertained, safe happy.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have two dogs of my own, including my rescue beagle, Sawyer, who I’ve had since he was a puppy for the past five years. I also grew up with a senior yellow lab named Cooper, so I understand both puppy energy and the extra patience and care older dogs need. Throughout high school, I regularly dog walked and pet sat for many families, caring for dogs with different temperaments, breeds, and activity levels. I genuinely love being around animals and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like they are my own. I am currently am free all days of the week anytime to watch and walk your pups! I have open availability and can accommodate most days and time. I provide pet care in clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their normal environment and routine. I’m able to care for both dogs and cats by feeding them, refreshing water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, and giving them attention and companionship while their owners are away. I also make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by sticking to their usual schedule and giving them personalized care based on their needs and personality.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, among other pets(turtles, hamster, lizard, and many fish) who I have helped to take care of. Right now I have a little kitten named Hobie. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and love meeting and hanging out with new animals:) I am currently working as a sever part time. I am available every weekday in the morning and some at night. My weekend schedule varies but I normally have weekend mornings off as well. I don’t have the space to care for pets at my home currently. However, I have the availability to stop by often or stay at your home to care for your pets.

About: As a lifelong animal lover working from home full-time, I provide constant supervision, 'office mate' snuggles, and frequent potty breaks in a stress-free environment. Your pet will receive my undivided attention in a true home-away-from-home setting, including a large fenced yard for secure play and daily long walks! I am also experienced in senior care and dedicated to keeping your fur baby safe, active, and loved all day long. I work from home full time with a very flexible schedule. I am available for walks throughout the day and potty breaks as needed. I will provide daily updates with photos and videos to make you feel comfortable! I have a single story home with a fenced in backyard. We have a large crate if needed, but we had a velcro dog and know how important it is for animals to feel safe and secure, so they are more than welcome to spend as much time near me as they want!

About: Hi, I’m Mali! I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old, starting with my own dog, Rajah, who is now a happy 15-year-old senior. I have trained both Rajah and my younger dog, Ripley, as service dogs, giving me extensive hands-on experience with training, behavior, and enrichment. My love for animals extends beyond my own pets. Growing up, I helped care for animals on a farm and even started a small neighborhood grooming service with a friend. Today, I share my home with Ripley and two cats, and animals continue to be at the center of my life. Professionally, I have over five years of experience as a veterinary technician, including four years in emergency medicine. I currently work as a lead veterinary technician in a surgical unit, where I care for patients before, during, and after procedures. This background allows me to confidently care for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I am also enrolled in Penn Foster’s Dog Trainer Program and am working toward becoming a certified dog trainer. My goal is to provide every pet with safe, compassionate, and knowledgeable care while giving their owners peace of mind. I work Tuesday–Friday and am generally available after 6 PM on those days. I have much greater flexibility Saturday through Monday for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I’m also open to discussing scheduling needs and can sometimes adjust when possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is always their safety, comfort, and maintaining their normal routine. I take time to follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special medical or behavioral notes. With over five years of experience as a veterinary technician, I am comfortable recognizing early signs of stress, illness, or medical concern and responding appropriately. I also have extensive experience handling pets of all temperaments, including anxious, shy, senior, and high-energy animals. I always approach pets calmly and respectfully, allowing them to set the pace of interaction so they feel safe and secure. I prioritize positive reinforcement, gentle handling, and consistency to reduce stress while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I would my own—keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. I also provide updates so owners can feel confident and informed while they are away.

About: I LOVE animals, I have a dog and birds who I have been taking care of since I was a kid. I have experience pet sitting for family and friends, so I am very comfortable taking care of animals. I have always been the type of person who hangs out with the dog instead of people at parties, so spending time with animals makes me genuinely happy! I am looking for a way to make some extra money during the summer while I’m in nursing school, so I am available pretty much every day/ all day the next couple months :) When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I like to make sure they are comfortable, and that they are kept on a similar routine as they normally are. I’ll provide fresh food and water, let them outside, give them attention, and clean up as needed. I also pay attention to any extra instructions given by the owner.

About: I love animals so much! I grew up around BIG dogs, smol dogs, cats, and birds. I've taken care of dogs of all types since I was a kid and I have been the go-to sitter/walker/drop in and hangout guy when my family or friends are out of town or stuck at the office late. I had a beautiful pitbull named, Artemis, who sadly passed away from cancer. She was my everything. Now, I have a bearded dragon named, Vermithor. I would take care of your animal(s) as if they were my own. I am energetic, playful, attentive, patient, and caring. I would treat you, your house, and your animals with the upmost respect. ***Rover does not have an option for other animals besides cats and dogs for care giving, so if you would like my assistance with any scaley, fishy, or winged family members then please put a request in for Cat Care and please message me to let me know what kind of family member you have<3 I am an Army Veteran working on getting my 2nd Associates Degree. Right now I am on summer break so that means my availability is wide open! If you have a fenced yard, I would let them out and be outside with them until they were done. If you don't have a yard, I would put their harness and leash on them so that we could stroll around outside. If they have a kennel, I would let them out and put them back in. If you have multiple dogs, I also have experience with feeding them in different rooms so that they do not fight over their food (if your dogs are like that). I am excellent at following any instructions left for me.

Great help! She was quick to respond to my request to book, came over for a meet and greet, and left great notes about how the visits went. She even went above and beyond, by washing my dog’s bowls and taking out some trash I had put by my back door and forgotten to get to before I left the house. Would absolutely be happy to book again!

I’m reviewing again after a month of her watching my dog 2-3 days a week because Christal deserves ALL the praise. I genuinely couldn’t ask for a better person to care for my dog when I’m at work. She plays with him, gets him to go potty, feeds him by hand which is so funny, she responds insanely quick, suggests things I should get for my dog, sends me TONS of photos from every visit…in short she does a FANTASTIC job. If you need someone to watch your fur baby while you’re away Christal is the person to ask.

Kayla is just amazing! I had to leave our home on an extended out of area trip and the photos are so endearing with my dog Luna just hugging on Kayla that’s because our pets know when they can trust someone. And I trust her and I hope if you’re reading this review that you know, you could trust her knowing with your pet but coming into your home and I’m looking forward to her for our next out of area obligation. She’s very punctual and great communication.
