“Brenda took both of my dogs in last minute as we had a sitter who fell through. She kept us up to date with photos and videos throughout the day even while we were in another country! My dogs loved playing with the others and getting cuddles. I will definitely be using Brenda’s services in the future. Thanks Brenda!”
“Rene really knows dogs and has a great manor with them. My dogs felt at home at their first visit and were very comfortable in their house. She was able to give my dog medicine he hates which was impressive. I will definitely be dropping them with Rene 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!!”
“Bonita was great, she communicated well, sent pictures, took Flynn on long walks because he likes them. Knowing that Flynn was being taken care of so well instantly put me at ease so I could enjoy being out of town at a family wedding. I would absolutely recommend Bonita!”
About: Hi! I’m Kaitlin, a lifelong dog lover and the proud owner of a friendly Border Collie named Koko. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog, so I treat every pet in my care like family. My home is calm, clean, and fully fenced, and because I spend most of my time at home, dogs are rarely left alone for long periods. Whether your dog loves playing, exploring the yard, going for walks, or simply relaxing on the couch, I do my best to help them feel comfortable and at home. I care for a limited number of dogs at a time so that each pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and individualized care. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, routine, and preferences so I can help them feel comfortable, safe, and at home during their stay. I know being away from your dog can be difficult, so I provide regular photo updates and messages throughout their stay to help you stay connected and give you peace of mind. My Border Collie, Koko, is friendly, well-socialized, and enjoys having canine guests.
About: Hi! I’m Lauren, a Scottsdale-based pet sitter who believes dogs deserve a loving home environment while you’re away and not a stressful kennel. I grew up on a farm with many house pets. I have 35 years of animal care experience and a special place in my heart for dogs! Your pup will get personalized care, lots of attention, playtime in a fenced yard, swimming in a pool, daily walks to my neighborhood walking trails, cuddles, and a cozy place to relax. I treat every pet like family and love sending photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your dog loves adventure or just wants a comfy couch and belly rubs, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I am currently a stay at home mom with kids in school. Our biggest strength is round the clock animal care. We treat animals as if they’re our own and with all the attention and care they deserve. I live in a gated community, with a fenced in yard. We begin our days with food and then a walk on our walking trail in my community. Afterwards, we like to swim in my fenced in pool in my backyard. The entire day consists of belly rubs, pets, snuggles, and as much playtime as your pup needs! I also help with crate training, and making sure we instill your house rules for animals here as well! As an animal parent myself, I understand that all animals require different things!
“Richard is so awesome!! I have two dogs, one is super shy and he handled her so well. I am so excited i found a sweet reliable source. Will be using Richard again and highly recommend him for sitting!”
“Caroline was very helpful watching our boys during our wedding week! She was so patient to our boys after a few accidents and was still so incredibly kind to them even after! 10/10 recommend!!”
“Ginny and Andrew watched my Abby for a week. They treated her as their own. She was very happy and well cared for. Abby became part of the family for the week she stayed with them. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Ginny watch her again. Thank you.”
“I felt instantly comfortable with this family and was able to go on vacation without a worry. They sent me photos on updates and just to let me know how things were going. I can’t recommend this family more. Their lifestyle and space is perfect. Will definitely use them again!!!”
“Wanny was absolutely wonderful with Matcha! She sent us frequent updates, along with so many beautiful photos and videos (honestly better than the ones we take ourselves!) It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Matcha is still a young puppy, and she was incredibly patient and understanding with him. She kept a close eye on his playtime, made sure he was comfortable, and clearly put a lot of care and attention into his routine. When we picked Matcha up, he looked happy, healthy, and well cared for. We truly appreciate everything Wanny did for him and would absolutely book with her again in the future. Highly recommend! 🐶✨”
“Xavier did great with my 15 year old lab/collie mix! I was travelling out of the country for 10 days and everytime I got service I had new photos to view. He kept me well informed and I knew my dog was enjoying himself and the nice big yard Xavier has to offer.”
“I was concerned about leaving my recently adopted rescue with a dog sitter, as my dog is not comfortable in all situations. I need not have worried. Menaj helped my dog feel at home and gave her the love and attention she needed during her stay. I would not hesitate to book with Menaj again.”
“Kelli took great care of Mila! It was my first time trying Rover, and she walked me through the whole process. She was easy to contact and was able to accommodate Mila into her schedule on short notice.”
“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!”
“Abby had a great time at Jeanne’s house. Jeanne is great with dogs, lots of outdoor play time. She sent pictures and updates twice a day. Abby fit right in with her family. I will gladly use her again on my next trip.”

“Ella did a great job with my three cats. Her photos and notes were reassuring that all was well. I would definitely recommend Ella to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
“Jess looked after our three feline furfaces for ten days while we were away on vacation. My initial contact with her on Rover was so positive. She was responsive, enthusiastic and very willing to do a meet and greet so we could all get to know one another a little better before deciding to hire. We are very particular about our home and the way our three cats are cared for. I write a small booklet for the sitter each time we go away and looking for a new sitter after two years of having the same person was a big stressor for me. When we met Jess the first time we all knew immediately that we were comfortable with her. Knowing her work history as a nanny and home manager for many years put me completely at ease. She seemed detail oriented, responsible and open to learning everything we wanted for our cats while we were away. She even came over right before we left to learn how I prep their food and it was obvious she was as detail oriented as I am and had no problem with my requests. I was relieved to have found someone like her and left home feeling more confident being away than I had in some time. Jess lived up to every single expectation and then some. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She learned each personality and knew how to best respond to it. She noticed details that made me confident she had everything under control and followed through with great care. We were able to thoroughly enjoy our vacation because Jess was taking care of everything for our kitties at home. We had reliable communication from her every day at exactly the times she promised she would be there. After the first few days I wasn’t even watching the time anymore because I knew she’d be there exactly when she committed to being there and I’d receive an update and pictures shortly thereafter. We will absolutely hire Jess again – and again. In fact, we already have the next two or three travel dates on the books with her! I appreciate the trust she built so much and know we can leave our house and pets in her very capable hands with no worries at all.”
“Brenda took outstanding care of our two kitties including special medications twice a day. We’re already planning our next trip with confidence our kitties will be in excellent care with Brenda.”
“First time using Rover Katelyn who took care of my cat Sherbet sent pictures/videos, she was there every day to feed and even play with him. I was so relieved to know he was being taken such good care of! On Christmas, she even brought him some catnip and toys!! Katelyn went above and beyond our expectations, will for sure use again we highly recommend! Thank you !”
“My little cat has epilepsy and some loss of vision. Linda has been great administrating her meds, having patience with her sometimes unpredictable behaviors, and communicating with me. It’s supportive knowing she’s in good care when I’m gone.”
“Krista was a dream to work with. She made sure my cats were socialized for the full allotted time and went above and beyond to take care of my babies. I am so thankful Rover led me to find her because I had zero worries while I was gone to Mexico. I will definitely use her services in the future and would recommend her to care for anyone's pets.”
“It was our first time having Jennifer take care of our cat Ruby. Very pleased when meeting her and with the care she took of Ruby. If and when the need arises we would certainly see if Jennifer was available.”
About: I was a vet technician for almost 3 years up until recently! I now work as a Business Development Manager for a start up company! I am available every day of the work week except, Saturdays and Sundays. I love both cats/dogs and have worked with all breeds and sizes. I have prior knowledge of medication and knowledge of post surgical care. I am quick on my feet and very loving! I have knowledge on how to handle skittish cats or dogs and I am very patient. I will take my time to earn your pets’ trust to make sure that they are comfortable with me. I have been raised around cats and dogs ever since I was a child and I am very fond of animals! I am not nervous around breeds like Rottweilers or pitbulls, because I have been around both. I will NOT work with dogs that have shown aggression or have previously bitten people. I am happy to answer any other questions you may have! I’m a Business Development Manager and I work daily, so I’m unavailable in the early mornings to late afternoons around 5. But I am always happy to try and figure out a schedule with you to make sure your pups/kitties are taken care of/watched/walked. Any rules you have set for me to ensure that I take the best care of your animals! I will follow guidelines and walk details!
About: Hi, I’m Bianca. I’ve been caring for cats and other animals from a young age and have experience with kittens, seniors, shy cats, multi-cat households, feeding routines, enrichment, medication administration, and creating calm, low-stress environments.

“2nd time Suzie B has watched our two cats. They quickly bond with her and she with them. Suzie cares for all of their needs, including medication. She gives pets and scratches upon requ3st. Looking forward to welcoming her back in December.”
About: I have been dogsitting for my friends and family consistently for about 5 years. I have cared for corgis all the way up to great danes and have no problem spending all day with them. I can walk, feed, and bathe your pets as much as you need. I am home from college for the rest of the semester and have a lot of free time on my hands. I can care for your pet whenever you need. I will make sure your pet is happy and trusts me fully before trying to do anything with it. Your pets comfort is my number one priority.
About: I have had cats all of my life and have had several housesits with cats in the last two years. I have also worked with senior kitties, medicating, grooming and preparing special foods when necessary. On my most recent housesit I was able to lure a very timid kitty out of his cubby and play with him. The owner said even her sister was not able to do that.
“Emma is an excellent caretaker for my kitty! My kitty isn’t always friendly, but she was very comfortable with Emma and would allow Emma to pet her. Emma sent me photos every day which always makes me very happy. She also went the extra step and cleaned a blanket that the cat had thrown a hairball on. I really appreciate her taking the time to do this. I highly recommend Emma. I feel very confident having her in my home and looking after my fur baby.”
“Brandon went above and beyond typical cat care. He was able to assure me all was well with a high anxiety animal mama (who can be a bit extra to say the least ((It’s Me. Im the extra))). We’ve referred him to multiple of my clients that I cannot help my self. We will absolutely use him again!”
About: Cats are my absolute favorite animal and I’ve been caring for them for years. I love how they all have their own quirky personalities, and I’m here to respect their boundaries. Whether your cat is a social butterfly or a hide-and-seek champion, I’m patient and ready to cater to their every need. From playtime and feeding to litter box duty, I’m all in!
“Lyla is the best pet sitter I have ever had. She went above and beyond to take very good care of my cat Alexia for 30 days. My cat is 18 years old, she previously had two seizures about seven months ago, and she had another episode while we were out of town. Lyla, acted very professional and cared really for Alexia. She called me to inform me, she called the Vet clinic, and the emergency pet hospital. She stayed longer with Alexia to make sure she was feeling better after the episode, and she helped her recover and calm down. Lyla, treated my cat and my house with a great respect, Alexia looked cleaned and happy and the house was tidy and clean. I will hire Lyla again and again, she is very nice, professional and reliable. She could literally handle any issues and she is willing to do anything to make your babies happy. Thank you very much Lyla for being such a great person.”
“Ashley & Benjamin were incredible care takers while I was on vacation!! I’m new to Rover and it was very reassuring to know that Kota was being cared for. Ashley was super easy to communicate with and she consistently provided updates, with photos and videos which was great to see! We couldn’t more thankful for the care provided. Thank you!!”
“I highly recommend Kat she did a fantastic job taking care of my two dogs. She is very caring and you can tell she loves animals. I look forward to booking her again when I need someone to drop-in on my pups.”
“Verna took the best care of Cinder. She was professional, super quick to respond and sensitive to Cinders medical conditions. You won't find a better caretaker! Thank you Verna, seriously you are amazing!”

“We used Brenda’s daycare service three times in a week and couldn’t be happier. Our little Ruby had a great time with Brenda’s small and friendly dogs. Also, Brenda was super friendly and obliging. Will use her again for sure when we visit Scottsdale again.”

About: I recently lost both of my fur babies of 13 years. The house feels empty and would love to share it with some pups that need love and care. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule for regular potty breaks, walks and snuggles. My yard is large and fully fenced in. I have a large yard and live in a great neighborhood for walks. The house is also pretty big for roaming. My children are here half time and love animals.
“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.”

I have a 16 year old son and a 4 year old Corgi named Max 🐾 I do allow my dog on the couch but will follow your regular practice to the best of my ability. I am home most of the time but in the event I am not home, I prefer to kennel the dogs for their own safety. If you prefer no kennel, we can discuss alternate options.
“Jeanne is a wonderful dog sitter! This was our first time using Rover and Jeanne made the entire process so easy. She was extremely accommodating to our specific needs for Nairobi’s daycare. Nairobi and her dog Kona got along so well and Jeanne sent us pictures and updates every day. We know we have found our go to dog sitter and we look forward to having our pup stay with her again.”
About: As a dog care giver I will first and foremost build a bond and get to know the sweet little pups I get the pleasure to meet and work with. I believe animals are like children who need a lot of love, time and understanding! I will greet each dog with loving positive energy and be attentive to their every need. I am patient, persistent, caring and understanding. Being surrounded and caring for animals is something I am passionate about! Pet care starts from the moment I wake up until the moment I go to sleep haha 😊. I am generally available during the day and have a very flexible schedule. I have a beautiful backyard that is half fenced in at the moment, but currently being fully installed. With pets that will be boarding with me, they will have my 24/7 undivided attention with lots of love, hikes and playtime. I currently have a sweet little pup myself who is a year and half so there will be a friend to greet your pup right at the door!
About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since my teenage years. Friends, neighbors, family, and clients have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, and nurture their dogs. I am currently teaching group fitness classes at EOS fitness gyms a few times per week. I am also enrolled in online Yoga certification program, so I am home most of the time and available most days of the week. I have a fenced yard and currently do not have any pets in my home. We are exploring dog fostering options. If you prefer, I can crate your dog if needed.
About: I've had pets all my life. I love adopting rescues. I currently have two pups - a Maltese named Sofie and a Maltipoo named Figaro. I had a cat named Mooshie but she unfortunately passed away after 15 years and I miss her. I have experience fostering up to 6 dogs at a time. I'm currently semi retired, so I'll be able to take good care of your pet! I spoil mine rotten and know I would do the same for yours :) I have a large fenced yard in a very quiet part of Scottsdale. My fur babies are friendly, so you needn't have any worries on that score. I work part-time from home so have lots of time to spend with the babies! If I go out it is rarely more than two hours and not every day. I have a completely fenced yard and don’t allow my pups out without me, as there are predators in the area. Lots of room for them to explore and play.

About: I’ve spent 30 years caring for a wide variety of dog breeds and age ranges. My experience isn't just limited to my own pets as I've spent time volunteering at animal shelters and pet sitting for neighbors and friends. Safety First: I take great care during walks and always ensure harnesses are secure and environments are safe before going outside. Communication: I provide detailed updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder about how your pets are doing. Adaptability: With direction from you I tailor every visit to your pets' unique needs and personality. I’m a firm believer that every pet deserves to feel safe and loved while their humans are away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I spend weekdays in Carefree and weekends in Paradise Valley. My schedule is relatively flexible so please contact me with your scheduling needs and I'll promptly return your message. Your pets' safety and the security of your home are my top priorities. I treat every home I enter with the utmost respect, ensuring all doors are locked, alarms are set, and everything is exactly as you left it. I am a non-smoker, stick to schedules, and never invite guests over.
About: In addition to house/pet sitting, I have owned numerous dogs and cats plus hamsters, fish, chickens, and horses. I enjoy working with animals and am open to caring for most types of pets. I have previous experience with Housecarers and Trusted Housesitters and can provide copies of reviews by pet owners. I am retired so my schedule is flexible. I am physically very active and able to handle extensive walking as needed. I do occasionally travel but plan my travel months in advance so it would not interfere with any scheduled sits or pet care. I am not available to care for pets in my home. I would be available both day or night to care for or sit for pets in your home. I am a walker, so dog walking is one of my favorite activities with pets.
About: I have 14 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, grooming, administering oral medications, and providing companionship. I'm comfortable with energetic dogs that require regular exercise as well as older pets with special needs. I understand feline behavior and ensure cats have a clean litter area, proper nutrition, and a stress-free environment. I'm attentive to pet health and safety and know how to spot early signs of illness or distress. Whether it's a quick check-in or overnight care, I prioritize their comfort and well-being. I have a flexible schedule when it comes to pet sitting, allowing me to accommodate various time frames to suit both your needs and your pet's routine. Whether you require short-term care, extended stays, or occasional drop-ins, I can adjust my availability to fit your schedule. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet, ensuring they receive the attention, love, and care they deserve. Let me know your preferred times, and I'll work to make it happen! Whether at your home or mine, I foster a safe, calm, loving environment where pets feel at ease and at home, reducing stress and ensuring they receive the same affection and attention they would from their own families. Your pet's happiness and safety is my top priority every step of the way.
About: Hi! I’m Joe — a lifelong dog owner and pet-care professional with over four years of hands-on experience at Partners Dog Training, where I assisted with everything from puppy fundamentals to regression cases. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, and I love helping pups feel confident, safe, and understood. Whether your dog needs daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or training support, I bring patience, structure, and a whole lot of love. My goal is to build long-term relationships with families who want a dependable, friendly caregiver they can trust year-round. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my day — it truly shapes my day. I like to start my mornings with my first walks, giving each dog a calm, positive start. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a structured walk, or checking in on a pup who needs a little extra reassurance, beginning my day with dogs sets the tone for everything else. Throughout the day, I rotate between walks, drop-ins, and daycare clients. I make sure every dog gets individual attention, because I want them to feel seen, safe, and cared for. My training background helps me keep the day steady and organized, and I use small moments — like waiting at crosswalks or giving water breaks — to reinforce good habits and build trust. Afternoons are usually when I see my long-term or repeat clients, which is one of my favorite parts of this work. It gives me time to build real relationships with the dogs and their families, and to understand each dog’s personality on a deeper level. That consistency is important to me, and I know it matters to the families I help. By the end of the day, I wrap up with any last walks or training touch-ups, making sure every pup I spent time with feels comfortable and settled before I head home. Caring for dogs isn’t just part of my routine — it’s what I’m passionate about, and I truly love ending each day knowing I made their day better. Safety is always my top priority. With four years of hands-on experience assisting at Partners Dog Training, I’ve learned how to read body language, manage different temperaments, and create a structured environment where dogs feel secure. Whether I’m on a walk, doing a drop-in, or caring for a pup in daycare, I take the time to make sure every dog is comfortable and set up for success. I’m also big on building trust — not just with the dog, but with the family behind them. I communicate clearly, follow routines closely, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that letting someone care for your pet is a big decision, and I want you to feel confident knowing your pup is with someone who genuinely cares about their well-being. Creating a calm, positive environment is part of every interaction I have. I use patience, gentle structure, and plenty of encouragement to help dogs feel relaxed and happy. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I take the time to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe every step of the way.
About: I have been pet sitting for years and have worked with a variety of different volunteer organizations caring for dogs. I also have my own little dog, Roxy, who is 13 (and a certified diva). Roxy has heart failure, anxiety, and a bad hip, so I’ve become an expert at spotting when pets need a little extra care. Whether your dog is high-energy or super shy, I am patient, attentive, and want nothing more than to make them feel comfortable and safe while you’re away from home! I am currently a college student home for the summer, and am hoping to pet sit full time. Therefore, my availability is pretty much wide open. It’s very important to me that your pets have 100% of my attention, so I will never take two jobs at once. I understand that each pet has different wants, needs, and boundaries, so I do my best to make sure that I am able to make each pet as comfortable as possible. Whether it’s sticking to a daily routine or giving them some extra attention, I promise to treat your pet(s) like my own.
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 have taken care of dogs of every kind since my teenage years. Friends, neighbors, family, and clients have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, and nurture their dogs. I am currently teaching group fitness classes at EOS fitness gyms a few times per week. I am also enrolled in online Yoga certification program, so I am home most of the time and available most days of the week. I have a fenced yard and currently do not have any pets in my home. We are exploring dog fostering options. If you prefer, I can crate your dog if needed.
“Nicholas is an excellent dog walker! He was very attentive to my dog and reliable. Very detailed feed back about the walks and went above and beyond caring for my dog. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have been dogsitting for my friends and family consistently for about 5 years. I have cared for corgis all the way up to great danes and have no problem spending all day with them. I can walk, feed, and bathe your pets as much as you need. I am home from college for the rest of the semester and have a lot of free time on my hands. I can care for your pet whenever you need. I will make sure your pet is happy and trusts me fully before trying to do anything with it. Your pets comfort is my number one priority.
About: Hey! I have grown up with dogs since the day I was born and have loved them since. I am a registered nurse at Brenner Children’s hospital but recently took a step back to be a stay at home mom to my 11 month old daughter. I am only working a few shifts a month at the hospital so I have lots of free time to help out with your pets needs. I always find it stressful when it comes to boarding my dog so a few years ago I found rover and it was been amazing for our sweet dog, Izzy. Now that I stay home, I thought it would be great to be a blessing to other families and their fur babies. Izzy is a 7 year old miniature schnauzer who loves walks, treats and lots of snuggles. She gets along well with other days and is the best big sister to our 11 month old daughter. I look forward to talking more about ways I can help you and your dog whether it’s letting them out, going on a walk to break up a long work day or boarding in our home. I am home everyday of the week with my daughter and dog, Izzy. We go on daily walks and we have a fenced in back & front yard. I can let your dog out as often as you need! I have a fenced in yard with space for your dog to play outside. I also have a downstairs area with a crate if needed.
“Jessica was wonderful! She worked great with Belle. Jessica taught Belle how to walk calmly beside her when coming upon dogs and their companions. We tried it today, the command, leave it, when walking and Belle is like a new dog on walks. It's enjoyable. Thank you Jessica for helping me out on short notice and teaching Belle walks can be enjoyable without flying around in the end of a leash!”

“Rene really knows dogs and has a great manor with them. My dogs felt at home at their first visit and were very comfortable in their house. She was able to give my dog medicine he hates which was impressive. I will definitely be dropping them with Rene again.”
“Jennifer was amazing boarding our older lab Abby! Communication before and during the stay was so thoughtful and Abby obviously adored her and her home. I am so thankful, and will definitely use Jennifer again. 😊”
About: Hi! I’m Kaitlin, a lifelong dog lover and the proud owner of a friendly Border Collie named Koko. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog, so I treat every pet in my care like family. My home is calm, clean, and fully fenced, and because I spend most of my time at home, dogs are rarely left alone for long periods. Whether your dog loves playing, exploring the yard, going for walks, or simply relaxing on the couch, I do my best to help them feel comfortable and at home. I care for a limited number of dogs at a time so that each pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and individualized care. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, routine, and preferences so I can help them feel comfortable, safe, and at home during their stay. I know being away from your dog can be difficult, so I provide regular photo updates and messages throughout their stay to help you stay connected and give you peace of mind. My Border Collie, Koko, is friendly, well-socialized, and enjoys having canine guests.
About: Hi! I’m Lauren, a Scottsdale-based pet sitter who believes dogs deserve a loving home environment while you’re away and not a stressful kennel. I grew up on a farm with many house pets. I have 35 years of animal care experience and a special place in my heart for dogs! Your pup will get personalized care, lots of attention, playtime in a fenced yard, swimming in a pool, daily walks to my neighborhood walking trails, cuddles, and a cozy place to relax. I treat every pet like family and love sending photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your dog loves adventure or just wants a comfy couch and belly rubs, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I am currently a stay at home mom with kids in school. Our biggest strength is round the clock animal care. We treat animals as if they’re our own and with all the attention and care they deserve. I live in a gated community, with a fenced in yard. We begin our days with food and then a walk on our walking trail in my community. Afterwards, we like to swim in my fenced in pool in my backyard. The entire day consists of belly rubs, pets, snuggles, and as much playtime as your pup needs! I also help with crate training, and making sure we instill your house rules for animals here as well! As an animal parent myself, I understand that all animals require different things!

“Kelli took great care of Mila! It was my first time trying Rover, and she walked me through the whole process. She was easy to contact and was able to accommodate Mila into her schedule on short notice.”
“Thank you Khadouj and Charlie! Myla was very well taken care of for over 3 days. I was hesitant, but Khadouj is very sweet and made her stay comfortable for the both of us keeping me updated and sending pics. ❤️??”
