“Theresa took great care of my two kitties while I was out of town for two weeks! The girls warmed up to her immediately which is saying something as my youngest is usually very sketchy around people she does not know! I got daily pictures and can see them Playing with Theresa which was wonderful! Though I missed them terribly, I did not worry about them under Theresa’s great care! Very Happy !!!”

“Olivia did a great job pet sitting for us. She was reliable, attentive, and took excellent care of our pets. She also communicated very well throughout the entire time, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her pet sit again.”

“Tabbitha took excellent care of my kitties and promptly sent me visit cards with photos each time, which I really appreciated. She is quick to respond to messages and I felt relieved to have someone so caring and conscientious looking after my kids while I was away.”

“Savannah was wonderful, very responsive, timely, and attentive! She went above and beyond to make sure my cat was safe and happy, and I will definitely book her again. Would recommend for your cat sitting needs!!”

About: I’ve had many pets growing up my entire life, however, I began being an animal caretaker since 2019. Originally I was a flying nanny so I was never home, but I was transporting dogs and cats all over the United States from state to state. I fell in love with my job until I could no longer travel anymore. Now that I work from home, I still want to be able to continue my journey with caring for animals. Many people do jobs because their parents did it or they do it for the money; but I genuinely do it because I love animals… you might be able to say more than humans. I currently work from home and work when I want in my daily life would really affect my availability to pet sit. I’m basically available every single day of the week unless I make plans. I live in an apartment that has a grass area for animals to handle their business and it is fenced all the way around the apartment. And I have a very sweet cat who was about three years old and she does very well with other animals if your baby needs company.

About: In July 2017, I did drop in visits for my neighbor Katie while she was on vacation for her senior cat Amber. I would visit Amber ( in the pics above) in the am/pm hours to feed her, socialize with her, provide fresh water, remove & throw away the cat litter. She loves to purr & walk between my legs & rubs on head on my legs! She doesn't like to be held so it was a miracle she allowed me to hold in the pics above (smile)! I've had pets (dogs, cats, fish & turtle)throughout my life and loved their companionship. I've volunteered at the Humane Society walking, socializing with the dogs & educated potential human companions on a weekly basis about the the types of the pets that may be the best for them, what and how lifestyle dictates the best companionship for both animals and humans, is the human active on a daily/weekly basis, then I might suggest adopting a young Jack Russell Terrier, they definitely need a twice a day walk or it's a senior who wants companionship, then maybe a basset hound whose 5+ years old may be a good fit for both. Cats can be good choices for companionship. In some situations may be easier, they don't require any walking as you would with a dog. They will use their litter box. I work remote and virtual so I can provide and give the attention, care and love to your fur babies in your home, plus, walking the dogs. Currently my housing situation does not allow me to board animals. So I'm not able to offer those services. I desire to house and pet sit in the customers 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: I’ve taken care of family friends and neighbors pets for years! I have watched every animal - from dogs and cats to lizards and snakes, and love every moment of it. I’ve always had pets at home and I love fur-babies more than anything! I have trained 3 puppies and around 5 kittens! I am currently a college student, but with my schedule, I am able for walking or check-ins almost any time of the week! Weekends are completely open besides Sundays 12-2. I always ensure that my clients homes look better than I found it! I understand everyone has a different way of raising their animals and I respect any training or specifications given to me. I am comfortable with just about anything for pets!
“Ana went above and beyond to ensure our dog was taken care of while we were away! She made sure to give our little one all the attention she needs & asked all the right questions to ensure she was taken care of properly.”


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've been around dogs my whole life and can't imagine it any other way! I helped my mom foster all kinds of pups - from playful litters (including one mom with 11 puppies!) to sweet senior dogs needing extra care. I'm comfortable with dogs of every size and age, and I have experience giving meds, brushing coats, and keeping pups happy and healthy. Growing up around my grandparents' ranch full of animals taught me responsibility and compassion - but most of all, it gave me a lifelong love for pets! I am a student at Arizona State, I have open availability throughout summer and am excited to take care of your pet whenever you need! I am up for any type of care plan necessary. Whether it’s walking and playing all day to wear them out or just chill on the couch and cuddle I am up for anything. I have experience caring for senior dogs with weak joints and accommodating them along with medication (I’m very good at hiding it).

“Marie was such a pleasure to work with! She came over for a meet and greet and took detailed notes on our kitty’s routine. I felt comfortable right away based on the thoroughness of her questions. We received detailed reports after each drop-in and the sweetest photos. It looks like they had a great time together! Would highly recommend”

“Desiree clearly cares very deeply for her clients. Layla adores her and I feel secure knowing Desiree has everything under control and Layla will be safe and happy in her care. Thank you so very much!”

About: I grew up with two golden retrievers and have loved dogs ever since. I've had to say goodbye to my family dog to move out to Arizona but love to dog sit for friends in the area. I have cared for dogs my entire life, from my training my dogs as puppies, to caring for them as seniors. I am a recent graduate of ASU and am working a part time, flexible job so I will have plenty of time and flexibility to work with your schedule and play with your pups! I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment for pets. I have experience with puppies, including potty training, as well as senior dogs that require extra patience and care. I am happy to follow each pet's personal routine to make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and of course, happy.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. I have a husky of 6 years that is practically a cat in a dog’s body. I personally get very anxious when leaving my furry friends for trips, so I know how important it is to send pictures and updates of how your fur baby is doing. 9 times out of 10 I am the person in the corner playing with the dog at social events, so I will make sure your pets are well entertained and having a good time! I just graduated from Cosmetology school and got my license, and as of right now I have an open schedule. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! I have a husky that has severe separation anxiety, so I will make sure that your pets are calm, safe, & sound even if that means sitting on the floor with them for hours. When taking care of multiple pets at once, I am very aware of my surroundings and making sure that everyone is getting along and having fun.
University Estates pet parents share their Rover experiences
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.

Estefany is amazing with my cat Wymack and even more amazing with communication and last minute accommodation! She went above and beyond watching my baby and fit in pet sitting him super last minute! I recommend her to anyone that needs some peace of mind when they are out of town!

Veronika was a great sport about a somewhat irregular cat sitting gig of looking after a semi-stray cat I have been feeding for several months. She sounded honestly happy and pleased the one time she saw the cat in the yard. Very reliable and easy to work with.

Marie was such a pleasure to work with! She came over for a meet and greet and took detailed notes on our kitty’s routine. I felt comfortable right away based on the thoroughness of her questions. We received detailed reports after each drop-in and the sweetest photos. It looks like they had a great time together! Would highly recommend

June did absolutely amazing caring for my little one. Athena was super comfortable with her and was all over her. She consistently cleaned her litter box and also swept/vacuumed around. Athena enjoyed her company and I had a piece of mind as I was traveling!

Tori was amazing! She had great communication the entire time, was super easy to work with, and really made me feel comfortable leaving my pets in her care. She went above and beyond, and my pets seemed so happy and well cared for when we got home. I could tell she genuinely cared and I would absolutely book with her again!

Alma was ahmazing! Im soo glad we found her. My 18yr old furry gentleman has a bit of a routine these days with oral supplements, walks, etc and leaving him with a new sitter for a week made me nervous. She was great with him, sent thoughtful and detailed reports, asked questions to make sure things were done correctly and took some super cute photos too! The house was tidy when we came home and she even took out the trash for us. The day of the wedding I didn’t even get a chance to check the reports and I was totally confident that Guapo was in good hands! Thank you Alma, for allowing this mamabear to relax and actually enjoy my time away! :)
