“Mandi left our home spotless and did such a good job caring for our two dogs! We have a puppy who is a big boy and she handled him like a champ! So grateful to have her watch and love on them while we were gone! We loved the photo updates and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Daniel was absolutely amazing with my dog Bruno! He kept me updated with daily photos and messages, and I could tell Bruno was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for the entire time. Daniel was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals, which left me feeling completely at ease knowing Bruno was in such good hands. I would definitely book with Daniel again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

“Silvia did a great job of looking after our pets. She was very patient with our special needs dog who takes medication and tends to be very shy. I would absolutely use her again.”


“Beth and her son Josh stayed overnight at our place and took amazing care of our dogs and our home! They all had a terrific time together, and I felt 100% confident that my fur babies were being well taken care of. I'll most definitely be using Beth again for any of our doggy needs!”

About: I've raised miniature Dachshunds and birthed them, and let me tell you that isn't for the weak at heart. I have been a main pooper scooper, Kitchen master for the preparation of meals and treats. Cookie monsters can smell me coming. I love beyond measure and will go down swinging to protect an animal. I am flexible and will work with anyone as long as you respect my time. If you aren't 15 minutes early, you are already late. I make my own schedule and decided to do what sparks joy in my soul, so here I am. I live to serve, and I serve to live. I can attend to all the needs of your pet. Each family has different routines and training that need someone to comply with. Knowing you won't come home to a rebel of a pet. We believe in lots of love with walks, snuggles, and belly rubs as required. I am certain to spark joy in those lil loving souls.
“Lauren was fantastic to work with! She took care of my dog & cat for an extended trip over the holidays and I came home to two very happy boys. I greatly appreciated the updates, pictures, and clear communication. Highly recommend!”

“Whitley stayed at our house and watched our pups for a few nights. She communicated well with us and took such great care of them and our home. I would highly recommend her!”

“Quessandra did an amazing job with Bella. I reached out to her super late at night and last minute and she came through in a pinch. She also sent lots of pics which eased my mind. I will be using her again and again to keep Bella company.”

“Ashley stepped in for a last minute booking and was incredibly easy to work with. We had another Rover fall through last minute, but Ashley was available to help and saved our anniversary. She sent lots of pics, communicated well and took great care of our home and our dogs. 10/10, 5 stars- thank you so much!”

About: I have had dogs growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I love being with them! I am willing to go behind your expectations and work hard. I can’t wait to get to meet your pups! I’m currently part time and have a lot of my days free. I will be starting college soon but I will still be available Monday-Sunday! Safety is my biggest priority I will take care of your doggy as of it is my very own. I live in a great neighborhood/ community we have sidewalks all over and I have a fenced backyard.
“Ravan was awesome! She took such good care of my dog while I was away, I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She took him for walks and to the park. Even my plants were watered!! I will absolutely book with her again and will recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring sitter.”

About: Hi! I’m a recent college graduate with a finance degree who is currently available for full-time pet care, dog walking, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m based in South Hill and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes. I have two very active dogs of my own, a 125 lb Bernese Mountain Dog and a Mini Aussie, so I’m very comfortable handling large, high energy dogs as well as smaller breeds. My dogs are a huge part of my life and come everywhere with me. We hike regularly, travel often, have visited over 15 national parks together, and have even done two cross-country road trips. Whether your dog loves adventures, long walks, playtime, or just companionship, I can provide attentive and active care tailored to their personality and needs. I also have experience caring for cats, having owned one for many years until she recently passed away from old age. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like family. I am currently available pretty much any time throughout the week and I should be available for last minute scheduling as well depending on the week. I provide care either in the client’s home or my own depending on what works best for the pet and their routine. In a client’s home, I follow their normal schedule closely, feeding, walks, medication if needed, playtime, and lots of attention, while keeping the home clean, secure, and respectful. If pets stay with me, they get a safe, structured environment with constant supervision, a fenced yard for exercise, and a consistent routine that helps them feel comfortable and at home.
“If we could give 10 stars, we would! Ashlee went above and beyond taking care of our dog while we were away on vacation. She had great communication, sent tons of pictures and took exceptional care of both our pup and home. On top of that, she was more than willing to extend her stay due to travel complications. We will be repeat customers and are so happy we found her!”

About: I've been taking care of pets since age 8. I've walked both big dogs and small dogs. I also am very good with cats. I volunteered at The Southern Arizona Humane Society. This os my first time doing this for pay. I have a lot to learn but I'm a fast learner. I also helped my girlfriend take care of her grandma and have experience transporting pets to the vet. I was recently let go from my job at Carmax so I have open availability. I can do pretty much devote all of my time to any care you need. I unfortunately am unable to bring animals I care for home because I have 4 cats who are wary of other animals. However, I am able to travel long distances to care for them in your home. I also am willing to take your pets to the vet.
About: I've taken care of many of my friends pets, dogs and cats when they are away. I absolutely love doing it! Pets are part of the family! I am currently working part time doing instacart so I am on the road and can stop whenever I need to let them out or take them on a walk. I am also starting school this summer so I will be available after classes as well. I usually stay over at my friend's house whenever they are gone to watch their fur babies. So they feel comfortable and safe in there own space.
“Krista was amazing! She stayed in our home and gave our dog Bailey lots of love and attention. She also gave us thoughtful updates on how she was doing including some pictures. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless house. Highly recommend!”
