“Allie is the best! She attuned to our dog very quickly and from there they developed a wonderful relationship. Our dog loves and trusts her. Great communication, frequent updates, and very reliable. We will be repeat clients for sure!”


“Cedell was everything I wanted in a pet sitter and more. She understood how to make my dogs feel safe and loved. My puppy had never been with a pet sitter before and was very hesitant about her at first, but she quickly won him over with her calm and warm demeanor. Cedell kept me informed and sent lots of photos and videos which was great!”


“Marianne was amazing! She sent us daily updates and photos while we were away. Marianne followed our care instructions and went above and beyond. I’ll certainly be booking with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone!”


“Allison was such a wonderful companion to my two senior pets! She was very communicative with me, provided lots of love and cuddles, and left the house tidy and clean after her stay. I felt very secure in her ability to handle any situation that may arise, which is always a possibility with older pets. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for future petsitting needs!”


“My two dogs love Alan so much. He gives them plenty of attention and enrichment. I can tell when I get home they are happy to see me for about 2 minutes and then looking for him. During the house and dog sitting, he kept the house clean and went above and beyond with communication and photos. He is great about using the reference sheets that I leave for him even though I'm always available for questions. He also assisted in protecting my home by recognizing that there was water leaking inside the wall and immediately letting me know. This allowed me to urgently arrange for a plumber and Alan made himself available so the plumber could do his work during this emergency call from 5:00 to 10:00 p.m. These are things that typically a house sitter shouldn't have to deal with, but the very reason that it's great to have someone here who's proactive, a problem solver, mature and responsible to keep an eye on things and make sure that everything continues to function smoothly in our absence. I already have Alan scheduled for my trip in October and will continue to utilize his top notch dog and house sitting abilities.”


“Shannon was wonderful! She was great with following the information about feeding our girls and giving them their medication. When our flight was delayed, she even stayed a little extra time with them to make sure they got an extra yard break. Most importantly, our girls really liked Shannon and even slept on the bed with her.”


“This was our first time using Rover, so we were a bit unsure about the process. However, once we had a Meet & Greet with Cindy and saw how comfortable our pups were with her, we felt reassured leaving our fur babies in her care for the weekend. She took excellent care of them, administered medication 3x a day, took them on walks, and gave them loads of attention. She even let Colby sleep in bed with her! Five stars all around. Cindy is fantastic – thank you!”


“So happy I found Dani. She has a very warm and calm presence. Perfect for my highly reactive and anxious pups. She always responds and sends pics. I’ve already booked with her again.”


“Cassie was the best, and more than I could have hoped for. Took great care of my dog, took her on multiple walks and kept me updated with photos throughout the weekend. Can’t recommend her enough!”


“Aleksandra took great care of my cat Nutterbutter and she sent lots of pictures and videos while we were away! Highly recommend and we will most definitely be requesting Aleksandra!”


“Vivian was great at getting along with our puppy. She kept me constantly updated on how the dogs were doing and respected our home. I would/will definitely recommend Vivian and rebook in the future.”


“Alexandria was a perfect fit for us! She house and dog sat for our 4 year and 14 year old dogs and took great care of each and met their individual needs. As most pet owners know, a Senior dog has different requirements than a rambunctious young dog. She did so with grace and love. Clean, respectful, mature, kind and she provided excellent communication, including photos, during our time away. She was also flexible as we slid the dates around after booking. I cannot recommend Alexandria enough.”


About: I have a Jack Russell poodle mix and know how to handle high energy pets. My dog will be at home with family wile I care for your pets. I am a college student at ASU. I am studying the medical field but love pets so decided this would be a great job to help out other pet parents. I live with my mom in Litchfield Park during the summer/breaks and the dorms during the school year so I would be caring for your pets in your home. I can accommodate your schedules and needs as each pet is different.

About: With six years of dedicated in-home pet sitting experience, I've become the go-to person for friends, family, and neighbors who need reliable, loving care. Whether your furry (or feathered!) family member is energetic, a calm senior, or somewhere in between, I have the experience to ensure they're happy and comfortable in their own home. You can also count on me for any specific needs, including administering medications, so you can truly relax while you're away. My schedule is highly flexible since most of my coursework is completed online. This enables me to provide frequent check-ins and easily adapt to your pet's routine, ensuring they receive consistent attention and care around my studies. When caring for your pets in your home, their safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Any instructions regarding feeding, medication, or other routines are most welcome and will be followed precisely to ensure your pet's comfort and well-being in their familiar environment. I maintain a clean and secure space, always double-checking locks and minimizing any potential hazards. You can expect transparent communication and regular updates, and even the occasional photo whenever you start missing your fur baby, so you'll always know your beloved companion is in responsible, caring hands.

“Bryce is an incredible sitter! He spent a week with my little Loretta giving her lots of love, walks and fetch playing! He kept me updated on how the days were going, provided pictures and put me at ease. I’ll definitely book Bryce again if he’s available!!”


“Bella is absolutely AMAZING. I needed someone to stay overnight with my kitten last minute and she came over the same day for a meet and greet. She went above and beyond, not only for me but to ensure my skiddish kitten was comfortable as well. Kitty even warmed up to her and didn’t want her to leave! She was responsive when I texted to check in and provided me updates with photos. She is incredibly sweet and a true animal lover. She will be my first call next time I need a pet sitter and I would definitely recommend her ❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“Sue Hyon took great care of Tofu! She sent me pictures and updates promptly, which I really appreciated. She was also very flexible and was able to care for Tofu on short notice. I definitely recommend her!”

Elijah P.
“Elijah has taken care of my dog on multiple occasions. He’s always kind and courteous and on time. You can tell how much he loves animals by how he interacts and plays with them. He’s always my first choice in pet sitting”


Meredith K.
“Meredith is a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Yes, she has watched my pets and those of many others. She has also shared with us the many stories of those pets and how each one is different in personality and behavior. This makes her ideal if you want someone who will give your pet what it needs while you are away. I know her to be reliable, level headed, and trustworthy which I think is important when you are leaving your beloved pet in someone else’s care. She has a lot to offer and a maturity about her that people have come to respect and depend on in home pet sitter.”
