“I couldn’t be happier with Dhanica! She’s an amazing rover sitter! I will absolutely book her again. And yes you can use any photos or videos of socks that you’d like! She was so communicative, kind, and clearly loves animals. My cat Socks immediately warmed up to her, and I appreciated the frequent updates, including photos, videos, and messages. I’m so grateful for the excellent care and love she showed Socks. I would recommend Dhanica to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet care. Cannot thank her enough!”

“Steph responded super fast to my request and even came for a meet and greet with my pup that same day! She was attentive, sent ample photos, and took Cloe on a walk in the evening. She was great!”

“Great young man! Very responsible and respectful. He went above and beyond. I forgot to leave doggy bags and he still made a way to clean up after my dog. Thanks Zeek!”

“Carly is a nervous dog whisperer, we’re very grateful to her for the time she spends out and about with our dogs and love the photos we get after every visit. She communicates often and clearly. Highly recommend!”

“Diana was an amazing sitter for our little choco. During her time with him, our pup not only avoided picking up any negative behaviors but also successfully practiced all of his tricks with her. We are grateful for Diana's cleanliness and the guidance she provided to ensure our pup stayed clean. Also forgot to mention that she took phenomenal pictures of our pup during her visit. Definitely would book again(:”

“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’m 19 currently a college student, I grew up with animals and see them as my best friends. I’m doing this job for my free time just because I love animals and would love to spend some time with them! I’m doing this on my free time so weekend only! But it can be in the early morning too! Around 6-4pm is my schedule! I’m always on time for my schedule I’m an international student and do own a big poodle by myself! I lived in Edmonds but do not have a car so buses only!
“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 been taking care of all types of animals for as long as I can remember! I have always been an animal lover and want to give them all my love and attention! I am currently a nursing student. I am in school wednesdays and thursdays. During the rest of the week I am available and can help out! I have a fenced in yard. No pool. When at others houses I will always watch the animals outside incase of any emergency. I also keep a close eye on them inside as well.
About: Ever since I was a kid, I've taken care of a number of animals. My neighbors have put their trust in me to watch and take care of their animals for a couple of days. I've volunteered numerous times at the Animal Shelter near me to care for and walk the dogs who are in need of a home. I'm a full-time student in Arizona but my schedule is pretty open. I like going on runs and walks. On Monday's I'm available all day after 10:45am. On Wednesday's I'm available all day after 12:15pm. On Friday's and Sunday's I'm available all day. I have two dogs back at home, whom I care for deeply. I love spending time with animals whether they're energetic or laid back. I would never try to make an animal feel uncomfortable, trust and a safe environment is one of my top priorities.
About: Bring em here, or I'll come to you. I'm in Tempe. I've had chihuahuas for 20something years. Big cat fan. Got love for the big dogs, too! I have a very flexible schedule so feel free to ask for same day help. My schedule is flexible. I work from home and set my own hours. I can do any day of the week. Same day appointments not guaranteed, but feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to get your appointment set! Your home = your rules, and I will follow them exactly, seeking clarity, if needed, along the way. In my home, I have a chi and a young cat. They are buddies and pretty friendly with other animals. I have a backyard for potty, but it's all rocks, so we will play indoors and take walks. I have an older child (high school) who loves animals, and my partner does, too. I am available for overnights at my house. I won't watch other animals (except mine) while yours is here. I can do days at your place - available for walks, feeding, meds, potty breaks, playing, just chilling and keeping your pal company. Overnights in your place are available, too. I am sure you have questions for me when it comes to your furbaby - I've managed quite a bit with my own animals in the last couple decades. Feel free to ask if there's specific experience you need to know about in order to feel like you're making the right choice!
About: I had a dog of my own for 16 years that I took amazing care of. I have always been the go to house sitter for all of my family and friends because of the connection I have with their animals. I am currently a college student at ASU, studying biomedical science and minoring in neuroscience. My hometown is Syracuse, NY so being so far away from home, I am missing having animals around. Caring for your pets is an amazing way for me to have some puppy time and make sure they are taken care of when their favorite humans are away! I will do whatever is needed for the pets, such as going on as many walks as they want, playing fetch outside with them, and even just cuddling with them while you’re away. I have always been told I have a good connection with animals so I believe this is the best job for me. Anything you or your pets need, I can do it!!!
About: I have been caring for dogs since my sophomore year of high school, gaining experience with everything from training energetic puppies to supporting the unique needs of senior dogs. I am Pet CPR certified, comfortable administering medications, and skilled at providing safe, attentive, and loving care tailored to each dog’s personality and needs. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I am currently in school and only have in-person classes Monday through Wednesday. This gives me plenty of flexibility and availability throughout the rest of the week, including weekends, to dedicate time to caring for pets and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they need. I live in a dog-friendly apartment where pets are welcome and safe, and I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in my home. When visiting clients’ homes, I am always respectful of their space and follow their routines closely. I’m also happy to accommodate extra requests, like watering plants or bringing in mail, to help give peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I have grown up around a variety of breeds and sizes of dogs. I have a passion for taking care of things, especially dogs! If I could adopt all dogs I would and that is why I will treat your dogs like my own! I am very loving and understanding of trouble. I have patience and a huge heart that sets me apart from me peers :) I am a student at ASU with classes Monday and Wednesday. I am available Thursday-Sunday almost every week all day. I am open any day depending on what you need! Very open to anything :) I can easily crate dogs, I tend to gain their trust quickly, and I am able to work with scared or anxious dogs. I am patient and able to work with anything!
“Tori was absolutely amazing with my dog, Benny! She was so sweet, gentle, and attentive. Benny can be a little picky about who he warms up to, but he adored her right away. Tori was incredibly reliable and kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was on my trip. I could tell she treated Benny like he was her own, and I’m so grateful for the care and love she gave him. I will definitely be using her again!!”

Kayla was an amazing pet sitter for my kitten, Argy! She accepted a last-minute request and even met with us the day before to meet him and go over all the instructions. She did two visits over the weekend, followed everything perfectly, and sent me lots of photos and videos. Argy absolutely loved her — he was always excited to see her, played a lot, and clearly felt comfortable and happy. It made me feel so relieved and happy to see him receiving so much love and attention while I was away. I highly recommend Kayla and would definitely book her again!

We have been using Valerie as our pet sitter for the past three years, and we couldn’t be happier with her care. Every time we are away, we have complete peace of mind knowing our animals are in such loving and capable hands. Valerie is incredibly reliable and consistently goes above and beyond with communication. Her updates and messages always keep us informed and reassured. It’s clear how much she truly cares about the animals she looks after, and we are always so grateful to have her care for ours. We wholeheartedly recommend Valerie to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter.
I’m extremely grateful and appreciative of Dhanica for taking such wonderful care of my kitty Mochi, super last minute. I truly valued the photos and detailed updates she provided after each visit, which gave me peace of mind. I would highly recommend Dhanica to anyone looking for reliable care for their fur baby. She was kind, respectful, and professional throughout the entire experience. As someone who is very selective about who I allow into my home, I felt completely comfortable trusting her with Mochi for the first time. Mochi was happy and well cared for, and that means everything to me.

This was our first time using Michael for a one-hour visit while we were away most of the day, and everything went perfectly! He came over beforehand to meet our dogs and was so kind and attentive with them right from the start. On the day of the visit, he arrived exactly at the time we agreed on and sent us photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dogs clearly loved him! We’ll definitely be using Michael again for our future pet-sitting needs. Highly recommend!
