“This was Matcha’s second stay with Wanny, and once again she was amazing! She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos and took wonderful care of Matcha. We especially appreciated her patience, attention to detail, and flexibility when our flight was delayed. We’re so grateful that Matcha has such a caring sitter (and a friend in Mellow!). We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Stella had a great time with Ginny and Andrew! Long walks in the park and lots of attention. What more could a dog want! I will definitely have them watch Stella again.”
“Monna is The Best! She took such good care of our little shih tzu —walking her, feeding her and most of all loving her.! Our doggie was missing Monna when we brought her home!!”
“Melinda & her family are the best! Our anxious boy had the best time and we never had to worry about him while we were away. We’ve had not great experiences with Rover sitters in the past but we will 1000% be using Melinda again. She will love and spoil your pup like they are her own and she was great at sending pictures and videos!”
“Gina was amazing with our puppy Lola. She sent us pictures and updates every day. She went above and beyond what we asked her to do I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using Gina again.”
“Debbie and Bill were absolutely fantastic! Our dog loved being with them! Our dog loved all the walks with Debbie. They kept us informed with photos and comments. We will definitely use them again!!”
“Amazing!! They were so loving and good to my dogs. They sent pictures and videos and were so responsive. They were also extremely understanding and flexible with schedule adjustments. 10/10 recommend!”
“Lauren made Duke feel welcome during his stay! She was attentive to his needs and professional from beginning to end. We loved getting check ins with daily pictures of Duke enjoying his stay. Thank you Lauren for providing our Frenchie with the best care!”
“Julija is amazing! We’ve used her twice now and both times have been on very short notice. Our puppy has the best experience every time! She gets cuddled and taken care of so well. Highly recommend!”
“Darlene provided exceptional care for Zach during the overnight stay. Zach was feeling anxious in a new environment and Darlene did an exceptional job of communicating with us during his stay. This demonstrated kindness and understanding, which helped our dog feel more comfortable and us as well. Darlene has a natural ability with dogs, and her patience and compassion were evident. We received updates and photos, which provided peace of mind. We are very happy we found her and we will book with Darlene again.”
“Justine was absolutely awesome. This was the first time we needed someone to watch Luna that wasn’t part of our family so we were a bit nervous about how she would do. Justine went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable! Walks in the morning, dog park time, frisbee, and even special snacks for her each day. She kept us updated the whole time with pictures and updates and we couldn’t have felt any more comfortable leaving our dog with someone. She made her at home and will treat your pup as part of their family while you are away. Also super flexible with pickup and drop off times plus being a great communicator from start to finish. Will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Sierra and Jason thank you for taking care of my Lilly and providing me with updates along with pictures. You showed my fur baby compassion when she was triggered by the storm. I truly appreciate that and would recommend your services to everyone! Thank you!”
“Jason was very easy to communicate and work with. He was flexible with drop off and pick-up time, responsive over text/messaging, and he sent great pictures that made us feel at ease. Highly recommend Jason for boarding!”
“We are so glad we chose to leave our puppy with Randy and Kay! We got multiple updates and pictures every day, which really eased our minds. We know Daisy was well taken care of while we were gone and that she got plenty of play time. We'd definitely choose Randy and Kay again for our dog watching needs.”
About: I grew up with 3 yellow labs, which were treated as my siblings. Later, my husband and I became a dog parents to a beautiful boxer mix for 10 precious years. I work full-time in an office. Pet care would mostly take place on weekends, but there is some availability before or after work during the week. I have a fully fenced yard on an acre lot so there’s plenty of room to play and/or relax to cater to the needs of each dog.

About: Cats have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each cat's unique personality. My own cat is my best friend, and I know how important it is to find someone who will care for your cat as if they were their own. For two years, I volunteered at a cat shelter, where I cared for cats of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. My responsibilities included feeding, deep-cleaning kennels and litter boxes, monitoring each cat's health, and administering medications according to individualized care plans. Working in a shelter taught me how to recognize subtle changes in behavior, earn the trust of shy or nervous cats, and provide calm, patient care. Outside of the shelter, I've cared for my own cats as well as those of friends and roommates. Whether your cat loves to play, prefers quiet companionship, or simply appreciates someone who respects their space, I'm happy to adapt to their routine and personality. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, while giving you peace of mind that they're in caring, experienced hands.

I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and treating every pet like they’re my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing your animals are in good hands.

Highly recommend her friendly, professional service.”

“Clare was wonderful! She provided everything we needed for our dogs. She was accommodating when our transportation plan to pick up at the end of the days was seriously compromised. She communicated throughout the day about how the dogs were doing and also responded immediately when informed that we would be delayed by quite a bit. She was gracious and kind as well. I have already recommended her to friends and will use her again when we return to this area.”
About: My first dog I got when I was in the 4th grade. She changed my life. Now I’ve never been able to connect with a dog on that level since her but I still love them. & hope some day I will be able to give my kids that. I am a single mom with 3 kids under the age of 6. Adding a fur baby to the mix just isn’t in the cards for me right now. & after this year I’m looking to get back on my feet. So I thought this could be a good way to make some extra money to help us. We are a very active bunch. Love hiking, walking, and pretty much anything outdoors. Like I said before we are always outside. I like to take walks in the morningsevenings. Love hiking. I work from home so I can make my own schedule. Depends on the dog. Just like my kids each one is different. What works for one might not work for the other. I would like to mimic as much as the dogs normal as possible.
“We were traveling through Scottsdale on a road trip and decided to find a safe and fun home for our pup to spend the day while we explored the area. Ashley and Benjamin are amazing! They took such good care of our Ares. They are very communicative and sent us pics and videos throughout the day so that we could feel reassured that our pup was doing okay. Ares is slow to warm up and has some mild separation anxiety, but they were patient with him and he ended up having a good day with them.”
“Randy & Kay are AMAZING!!! I am so grateful that they were able to take care of my Harley on short notice, and they went above and beyond to work with me and my schedule. I knew immediately that Harley was in good hands! Receiving pictures of how he is doing throughout the day has been fantastic and very comforting. I can see that they care for him as though he were their own and when I pick him up I can tell he’s had a great time and very content. I definitely won the lotto when I found Randy & Kay, they are a huge blessing to me and my Harley!”

About: We are a family of 5 - mom, dad, as of 2024, a 7 year old boy, Anquan the old alphadog and Chase the young pup. (We just put our old pup down and can’t bring myself to fully change the profile yet but FYI, we just have Chase now 😥) We have grown up around dogs and had dogs of our own our whole lives. My mother-in -law bred dogs and walked in and judged dog shows, so our household has picked up a few tips and tricks for training and care. We love our pups and we will love yours too! We live in a house with a fenced yard and have a large trampoline my dogs like to sun bath on for some reason. We have grass and rocks in our backyard for your picky poopers, and when we take walks, they are down the canal and over to Papago since our street ends at the canal. We both work from home so we will be with the dogs all day, and my pups will be so happy to have new playmates. We have a young pup who will be happy to share toys and treats and tire your dogs out and we have an old man who is happy to share his couch space with your old guys. My husband started freelancing so he is happy to earn a little extra and come walk your dogs, or watch your dogs at your place as well. Up to you! We give our old man medicine so we are comfortable giving any meds that are needed, or administering special diets. Just let us know 😉🙃 FYI’s…. - We do not have any cats and will not watch cats in our home but are happy to do so in your home. - I feel for dog owners in apartments/condos, especially during the summer months, but if your dog does not know how to or won’t use the restroom on any surface but the patio, this does not work for us. Not only do we not want that on our patio but our patio is brick and the bricks are porous and stain easily. If this ends up being the case, it is our discretion to add a cleaning fee. - You are welcome to bring toys/bones as long as your pup doesn’t mind sharing and doesn’t have aggression attached to the item - You are welcome to bring toys, bed, whatever BUT you don’t have to as we have plenty to share and we are not responsible if the items gets damaged. We have two dogs and sometimes watch more than 1 dog at a time and you never know how animals will react to being in a new place with new dogs. So we can’t be responsible if a bed gets gnawed on or a toy get chewed. - All we really need is your dog food and treats. We also have treats but if your pup can have a sensitive stomach, we would rather have their treats. FYI - booking house sitting means you want us to Be at your home as much as possible with your pets and possibly sleeping over. If you just need someone to pop in to feed/walk/play - that’s is booking a “drop-in” We both work remotely and my husband only works part-time so we are always available but for exceptional situations which we will mark as unavailable. We already take care of our own 2 so we do walks first thing in the morning and after dinner. We also have a doggie door to our backyard. If we have your pups on the weekend, it’s not summer and your pup is capable, it is likely we will take a walk to the Hole In The Rock since it’s right down the canal from our house and a good distance for my kiddo and pups. But we will make sure to ask you what your pups can and can not do before doing so. Usually, the dogs are so exhausted from just playing in the yard all day that walks and hikes are last thing on their minds! I have a fenced in grass yard with a doggie door and two friendly pups to keep your pup company. I also have a little boy who loves dogs and the first thing he does when he gets home from school is play with the dogs. If we are coming to your home, your rules are your rules. We will just try to keep their schedule and structure as close to the one they are used to and it would just be one of us as someone will stay home with our pups. Happy to bring our pups over if you want a playdate while gone as well.
About: I'm was professional pet trainer at a major retail chain. I've lived with a dog, cat, chinchilla, hamster, bird, or fish most of my life. I love fur babies and want help people when they need to be away from their beloved pets. Most recently, I helped sit a household with four elderly dogs with various medical needs. I have experience giving medications to dogs, as well as dogs with disabilities like blindness and deafness. Ideally with pet sitting, my wife and I would meet the dogs and/or cats before we pet sit to learn their specific needs, and learn where the food and treats hide. Depending on the pets and the weather, we like long hikes/walks and short trips around the neighborhood. You actually receive two pet sitters with me. My spouse will be home most of the time while I'm at work. I'm also a certified pet sitter with Pet Sitters International. I'm a Vocational Specialist, and my wife and I work together when petsitting, so she's there when I'm not. We work together and it's a team business. I like to learn the current routine of your beloved pet(s) and try to keep their routine for their comfort. I make sure I learn your house rules and will not let those puppy dog eyes persuade me to let them on the couch unless you say it is ok. I have my Pet First Aid Course and am taking other courses to increase my Pet Safety knowledge.
About: I've cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, tortoises, and fish, and have experience pet sitting overnight for many families. I'm especially passionate about caring for senior pets and those with physical disabilities. I've cared for two elderly dogs with mobility challenges, including one who lost the use of their back legs and needed assistance getting around and going outside. I understand that these pets require extra patience, gentleness, and individualized care, and I'm committed to making them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also volunteered for two years at a cat shelter, where I fed cats, deep-cleaned kennels and litter boxes, monitored their health, and administered medications according to their care plans. I also have experience giving medications to dogs. While I'm not a certified trainer, I've trained my own dogs and know how important consistency is. I'm happy to follow your pet's established commands, routines, and house rules to help them feel secure and maintain good habits. Living in Arizona has made me very flexible with schedules, including early morning or late evening walks during the summer heat. Above all, I know pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want for my own. As a graduate student, I attend classes Tuesday through Thursday, but I stay overnight in your home and return as soon as my classes are finished. My class schedule is consistent each week, so you'll always know when I'll be away and when I'll be back. I'm fully available Friday through Monday. I'm happy to discuss your pet's needs to make sure my schedule is a good fit. I believe the best pet care starts with keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow your feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions, and any household rules or commands your pet is already familiar with so they feel comfortable while you're away. Whether I'm caring for a playful puppy, an independent cat, or a senior pet who needs extra assistance, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, make sure fresh water is always available, and provide plenty of affection while respecting each pet's individual personality and boundaries. I also know how important communication is when someone else is caring for your pet. I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

I get to have a very unique schedule. Pets will always come first, I am readily available to modify my work schedule around Pets needs. I strive to keep a familiar routine with all animals. Whatever you do on a regular basis, I strive to do my best at keeping that same structure. I believe animals thrive with a schedule. I will do my best to uphold it.

When possible, I prefer caring for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable and secure. I focus on maintaining routines, minimizing stress, and creating a safe, calm environment.

About: I am a behavioral analyst by trade; yet enjoy the simple things of life! Even though I enjoy being of service within society, I enjoy the responsibilities in supporting the fur-babies of today. I used to personally travel for work and now find myself enjoying the Arizona sunshine and much needed rest. There is something awesome about creating a safe space and environment that is new and yet familiar for both parent and pets. Behavior Analyst turned farm lover with a city girl vibe! Fostered cats for two years while swimming in Florida, 15yrs with horses in our Phoenix, Arizona backyard and helped puppy train while in Indiana/Georgia. If you ask my mother I am very meticulous when it comes to clean floors and if you ask my father I can dig fence post wholes faster then he can sneeze ;-).

We received updates and photos, which provided peace of mind. We are very happy we found her and we will book with Darlene again.”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover and experienced pet caregiver with a home full of personality including my two Shar-Peis (Dior and Hercules) and two tortoises(Cleo and Franklin). Caring for my special needs Shar-Pei Hercules has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important individualized care is for every pet. I know pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same love, safety, and attention I give my own. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, routine, or extra patience, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work part-time (8 days per month), which allows me to dedicate a large portion of my time to pet care. My daily routine already revolves around caring for my own pets, including two Shar-Peis—one with special needs—and two tortoises. Because of this, I’m experienced in maintaining consistent schedules, providing attentive supervision, and adapting care based on each animal’s individual needs. I’m able to offer dependable, flexible care and give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities.

I also care for two tortoises, giving me experience with animals beyond dogs as well. I’m attentive to behavior, eating habits, and overall comfort, and I’m happy to follow any feeding, medication, or care instructions you provide.

About: Hi! I’m Katie, and caring for animals has always been one of my favorite things. I know how much our pets mean to us because mine truly are family. At home, I have three furry best friends: Winnie, my playful mini Goldendoodle, Frankie, my sweet Australian Shepherd/Husky mix, and Elliott, my lovable white cat. They’ve taught me that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and way of feeling safe and loved. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, snuggles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, and my goal is to make both you and your pup feel completely comfortable while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is happy, safe, and being treated like part of the family. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and give them a home away from home! I’m a hybrid worker spending only 4 hours a day in office! While away, dogs will have access to a fenced yard and inside my home as I have a doggie door! I have two dogs and a cat that are incredibly loving and will keep your fur baby company while you are away. I am a homebody to my core so will be giving your dog ample love and attention. As a fellow rover user, I know how important it is to trust that your dog is being welcomed into a safe environment and commit to delivering on that!
