“Hello Lauren, Thank you and your family so much for taking such great care of Java. We are so grateful we found you. Thanks again for all the pictures and updates during her visit. Best regards”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kaitlin. She watched our 150 lb cane corso Bruce and cared for him like he was family. Bruce fell in love with her and Koko from the start and it made my heart happy that he was in a warm and loving home while we were away. Kaitlin’s communication was excellent and I loved all the daily updates and photos I received from her! Even when my large dog took over her bed for naps 😂 Kaitlin is very knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior and even did some training with our big guy during his stay. I whole heartedly recommend Kaitlin to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She is truly the best!”
“Our dog Tucker bonded with Melinda and her family almost immediately. Her dog Murphy is easy to get along with and was a good companion to Tucker. Melinda walked them regularly, sent us frequent updates and gave Tucker loving care. Melinda is the perfect fit for Tucker and us.”

“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.”
“Our pups seemed to have a great time with Bonita and her dog Bentley. He was super happy when we picked him up. Bonita is very sweet and responsible. Nice backyard with doggy door. She had plenty of toys and was flexible with scheduling. We received updated pictures and he went on walks and had plenty of play time. Will definitely be using again and highly recommend!!”
“We had a great experience with our dog sitter, Wanny! From the beginning, communication was easy and reassuring, and it was clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which made it so much easier to relax while I was away. Norman came happy, relaxed, and clearly cared for. It’s such a relief to have someone we trust with him.We’ll definitely be booking with Wanny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
About: Having animals my entire life, from horses to chinchillas and everything in between, I have a deep love and understanding of all God‘s creatures. I have experience in training, gaining trust, and caring for even the most stubborn of animals (Frenchies). I work full-time from home for my own business, so I am fully present throughout the day. Walks can happen early or late, to avoid the high heat. I have a fully fenced backyard at my house and plenty of cool space indoors. My French Bulldog and Burmese cat live at home and love to have 4-legged company.
“Christi was amazing to work with. It’s clear she loves dogs and wants to make sure your pup has a good experience. She took wonderful care of my dog and went above and beyond when we thought Willow might have a UTI. My dog came home happy and tired. :) I will absolutely use her again!”
“Our third time booking with Ash & we continue to be extremely happy with the care she provides for our pups! Our flight was delayed & she kindly let us pick the dogs after scheduled pick up. We love the daily updates/pics of our pups spending time with their furry friends. Would highly recommend!!”
“Richard watched our dog Mister for 9 days. We received daily pics and updates which was great. He was VERY accommodating with pick up and drop off times. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
“Xavier is amazing and takes such good care of our dog! He is very attentive and caring for Duck while he’s there. Updates us with many pictures throughout the stay of how he’s doing! Highly recommend him for your sitting needs! 10 out of 10”
“Darlene and Dave were absolutely fantastic with our dogs while we were away. I would recommend them 100% to anyone needing a dog sitter. We received email updates with pictures while we were away which made our trip that much better. We are so happy to have found Darlene and Dave and will definitely be using them again in the future :) ”
“Our dog, pearl had a wonderful time. Jennifer was caring and loving with her and she immediately felt at home. Thank you for taking good care of her 🙏”

“Addyson took care of our 2 chihuahuas while we were away. She did a great job of making sure they had everything they needed. She kept us updated every visit and was always quick to respond. When we got home we had two adorable drawings of each dog and detailed puppy report cards. Thank you Addyson for all the help and love given to our little ones!”
“Jessica is the best! She really cares for my cat like it's her own and goes above and beyond. She pays close attention to detail and is a strong communicator. When my flight got cancelled to come home, Jessica stepped in and was flexible in watching my cat an extra few days to ensure he got the care he needed while I was gone. She is a godsend!”
“Reliable and her love of animals made us feel our cat was in excellent hands while we were away. She handled this booking professionally and communicated very well. Highly recommended.”
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!
“I was so nervous to leave my cats for a week for the first time but thank goodness Annette was here to watch them. My cats loved her! She was so good with them for the hour a day she was there. Would recommend to anyone.”
“Dallas and I had a great experience with Bianca! When I first reached out she was very easy to communicate with. She did a meet and greet first and Dallas was immediately comfortable with her. She did drop-in visits with him and sent a detailed report and lots of pictures each time. Definitely would book again!”
“I am so pleased with Linda and the care she gave my cat. She spent plenty of time with me, communicated with me daily and expressed how’s she liked my pet. I would highly recommend and would hire Linda again.”
About: I’ve had a dog since before I was 10. With the recent passing of our oldest dog, I currently have two dogs - one quiet & small (Gryffin), and one big & rambunctious (Charlie). I love them both dearly! My fiancée also has two dogs that I like to claim as my adopted pets (Presley & Rudy). I’m currently studying for the bar exam (certifying exam for lawyers) and am looking for some cash while I spend 40 hours a week studying as my full time job. This much studying is a lot of work and I’d love to have study companions get me through it! I have had dogs of all different dispositions (e.g., the reserved, the crazy, the explorer, etc.) and have the patience and compassion to love them all and ensure they all get the attention they deserve and need.
“Great experience from start to finish! Katelyn was professional, communicative, and clearly cared about my pet. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet was happy and well cared for, and everything was just as I left it when I got back. I will definitely be booking with Katelyn again and highly recommend her!”
About: I know every cat has a unique personality, and I enjoy taking the time to earn their trust rather than forcing interactions. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, I’ll care for them at their own pace to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping your cat’s routine as consistent as possible. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, affection (if they want it!), and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to follow detailed care instructions, administer oral medications when needed, and send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to treat your cat with the same patience, kindness, and respect I’d want for my own pet.
About: I have owned cats my whole life and I recently adopted a special needs senior cat without teeth that I adore. I have owned all different kinds of cats with different temperaments and they have all lived happy and full lives.
“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.”
“Emma was awesome! She took perfect care of my sweet kitties. It’s so hard to leave town because I worry about my pets, but Emma eased my mind by communicating with me daily and sending pictures. She also kept everything very tidy, which I really appreciate!”
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!
“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!!”
“Brynna did great work for us! We found our pups happy and healthy when we returned from our day trip. Brynna was professional and attentive and we look forward to working with her again!”
About: I have previous experience with dog/house sitting which include playing/walking, picking up after, feeding pet, & help retrieve mail/packages. I also enjoy just sitting with and making sure your pet is well loved while owners are away. I am currently working a part time job that I have had for 14 months in the restaurant business and am also an athlete, but all those activities range from 3-9 pm for 2 to 3 days a week. I am available early mornings, mid-day, and late nights. I can easily handle pets with love, care, and patience. I love going on walks with dogs and just live being around them. I had a dog throughout my whole childhood who was my best friend but sadly passed away 3 years ago.

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.”
“Dez loves her furrfriends and piggies too! Laura is fantastic and Dez loves her sooo much too!!!! Thank you Laura for peace of mind that Dez is happy and having a blast -while I am off working my long appt days.”
“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: 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: 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!
“Lauren was amazing! My puppy had a blast and she sent me the cutest updates on his day and his many naps. Her space is set up for puppies and she was so calm about his natural puppy energy. She helped me super last minute and overall was just so sweet and great to work with, I’d recommend her for any pet sitting but she’s especially great with these crazy energetic, puppies.”
“Greg is welcoming and professional. His services approach is well constructed and thoughtful. Gideon seemed to have a nice balance to his day. Thanks, Greg!”
“Kaitlin was absolutely awesome as was her dog Koko. They both took KC into their home for 3 1/2 days of loving care, playfulness and retrieving balls. I will definitely ask Kaitlin to watch KC when I have the need. Oh, BTW, Kaitlin did a splendid job of keeping me updated with texts and photos!!! Who could ask for more?”
“Wonderful!! Honey so enjoyed her time. She was excited to spend time with Amanda. We are in from out of state and they treated Honey like their own. Thank you! Highly recommend.”
About: My husband and I are dog lovers! Our kids have grown to be the same. We are experienced in boarding, walking, day care, drop ins, etc. We are comfortable with medically compromised dogs, as one of our previous fur babies suffered from an autoimmune disease. We both work from home, so we have the availability to provide frequent potty breaks, play time outside, walks, and overall love while we have your pet in our home. Our current dog, Zeke, loves to play and will gladly welcome furry friends into his home :) Your dog must be okay with kids and other dogs and CANNOT be an excessive barker. They MUST be house trained, and obedient. We do not have the capacity to care for dogs who are not trained. We have full availability, unless a previous commitment is scheduled. We work from home and never leave the house for more than two hours at a time. We have a large fenced yard and a child proofed home. Your pet will enjoy lots of time outdoors in our yard, playing with our dog and kids. We take nightly walks around the neighborhood and several potty breaks throughout the day. We keep several bowls of water around for frequent hydration breaks!
“Great communication, very friendly, and did a fantastic job looking after Gunner. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing a dog sitter, and would use again if the need arises.”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and large breeds, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication, and keeping dogs on their normal routines. Safety, exercise, and plenty of affection are always my priorities. I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own and send regular photo updates so you can feel confident they’re happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m especially comfortable handling large, strong breeds, so whether your dog is a tiny lap dog or a gentle giant, they’ll receive patient, confident care. I have 2 dogs myself, both are ridiculously friendly and love other dogs. One is a Great Pyrenees, the other is a cattle dog mix. I'm currently a stay at home mom and have a fairly open schedule. I am available during the workday, overnight and on weekends. I can easily pop in for a walk or to spend some time with your pet. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and any special needs. During every visit, I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, fresh water is available, and your pet has plenty of attention, play, and affection. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, providing dependable, compassionate care you can feel confident about. I am available to care for pets in your home or mine. I own my house and have a backyard. If your pet is staying at home and is social, they'll have mine to play with. But if they prefer to be alone, I have a guest bedroom that is available to them.
“Cihui was amazing. Finley was well cared for and she provided updates with photos and videos during his stay. You can tell She loves dogs! I felt very comfortable with Finley in her care and I will definitely use her again!”
“Our Max had a fantastic time with Nicole, her daughter, and pup Winston. We are so excited to have made this connection with a fun and loving family. We will be back soon.”
About: I had a joyful childhood growing up with dogs since I was little. Our family has had many dogs, including German Shepherds, Maltese, Chihuahuas, Akitas, and mixed breeds. I also have experience rescuing stray dogs. When I was 13, our dog had a litter of 5 puppies, and they all grew up healthy. I used to be the first choice as a dog sitter among my friends, caring for and spending time with many dogs, including a Border Collie puppy less than a year old. I love dogs! They bring me so much happiness, and I hope all dogs around the world receive excellent care! I am currently a freelance worker based at home, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dogs! I'm mostly at home during weekdays and often outdoors on weekends. However, if needed to care for your dog, I prefer staying at home or, with your permission, taking them out for relaxation. In my home, I provide a safe and caring environment for dogs. They have designated areas with all their essentials and plenty of supervised playtime and walks. I prioritize their comfort and well-being while following any specific instructions provided by their owners.
“Shelley was great and Amos told us that he really enjoyed his time with her. She was very friendly and available at the last minute. We will definitely use her services in the future.”

About: I have been pet sitting/dog walking for many years. My youngest has just graduated high school so I have a very free schedule. I have owned dogs and cats most of my life. I currently have an Irish Wolfhound and a small Pit Bull. I have spent many hours volunteering at the Humane Society and fostering. I am a stay at home mom in Cave Creek. My youngest has just graduated from high school so my schedule is quite free. I am available for drops in’s, walks/hikes, and overnights. I own an Irish Wolfhound and a pitbull mix. I am very active and run daily with my dogs. I am able to take dogs on long walks or hikes. I am comfortable with any size breed. I am respectful of any pet rules/schedules and follow accordingly.
“Emma is flexible and has helped me multiple times with last minute time and schedule changes. Of note, is yesterday when there was a family medical emergency and Emma helped greatly so I could be with my family. Thanks Emma!”
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.
“Linda was wonderful with Herbie! She was so helpful with support during our daughters grad party! Herbie took to her right away too, sensing she was a dog person! Thank you Linda!”
About: I’ve owned animals my whole life, including cats, dogs, bunnies, birds, and even turtles. So I am well rounded in my pet experience! I have owned senior animals as well and I have even taken care of animals with special needs. Pet care is a regular part of my day. I get up in the morning to feed, water and exercise my animals, and continue to do so multiple times throughout the day. I always approach new animals with caution. I’m gentle and kind and I allow them to approach me. I will ensure they get proper care and that they feel comfortable during the duration of the time that I am with them.
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 am that girl that takes 20 minutes to leave the house because it takes me so long to say bye to my little friends. I love animals and have been around them my entire life. Grew up with little dogs and am now a cat mom. As a Realtor, my schedule changes from day to day, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra attention, I can always find time each day to care for your pet and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-loved. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of affection. I’ll also keep their space clean, administer medications if needed (with instructions), and provide regular updates with photos so you know how they’re doing. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, they’ll have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and supervised care. I always pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs to make sure they feel relaxed, secure, and loved while you’re away.
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.

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: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12. Family, friends, and neighbors have all relied on me to provide care and dedicated companionship to their pets such as walking, keeping company, and overnight boarding. I am comfortable with all animals and have experience with animals of all ages, ranging from under 1 year old to 12 years old. I am more than happy to adapt and learn how to care best for your pet. When I care for them, I will dedicate all of my time to care for, play with, walk, and love your animal. I would also love to take them to the dog park to interact with other animals while you are away! I grew up having dogs of my own - a chocolate lab, boxer, and pitbull mix who were all full of energy! I am available for drop ins or dog walking when needed! I am very flexible and would be happy to work with you. When in your home, I would love to take your pets for walks, take them to dog parks; anything that you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I have a very flexible schedule, I will almost always be available to care for your pets. For any last minute/urgent plans, I should be able to easily accommodate them due to my flexibility. I always keep an eye on the pets ensuring their utmost comfort and safety. I am quickly able to identify signs of safety hazards, discomfort and/or distress in pets.
“Cheylee is wonderful with my momma’s boy. She is patient when he tries to walk back into the house. He does seem to know when it is walk day and will sit by the door watching for Cheylee.”
About: Raised on a farm and surrounded by animals my entire life, I’m confident caring for dogs of all breeds, abilities, temperaments and needs. I follow routines closely, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and always prioritize your dog’s safety and happiness. I’m available as early as 7am and as late as 9:30pm for walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and companionship. I work part-time, so my schedule allows for flexible visits throughout the day. Overnight stays are available when needed and can be discussed in advance. I provide care in my client’s home to help pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and rest. I make sure they always have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention and affection. I prioritize safety at all times by securing doors and gates, using leashes properly, and monitoring pets during walks and play. I keep the home tidy, clean up after pets, and treat every client’s space with respect. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners can feel confident and at ease while they’re away
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: Hi, I’m Keilah! If you’re looking for a reliable, energetic, and detail-oriented sitter who will keep your pup happy and healthy I’m your girl. I know how important exercise and routines are for your animals, so I make sure to provide walks and playtime. I will strictly follow all of your feeding schedule, medication needs, and house rules to ensure a seamless transition for your pet. Whether your dog is a senior who takes it slow or a puppy who needs constant supervision I’m your person. :) Im a student on summer break so I’m available to play with your pups whenever! I am studying for a big exam, so please be patient as I navigate requests. I prefer to watch your fur babies in your own home to have them in a comfortable environment. I provide long walks, enrichment with dog toys, as well as cuddles and attention.
About: Hi! My name is Rebecca, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets. I currently have two Great Danes (ages 11 and 2), two cats, and a chinchilla, so I’m very comfortable managing both large and small animals with different needs and personalities. Growing up with dogs has given me a strong understanding of behavior, training basics, and daily care routines. I’m especially experienced with large and giant breeds and understand their unique needs, including exercise limits, joint care, and bloat prevention in deep-chested dogs. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, as we recently lost our 9-year-old Great Dane, so I’m comfortable with slower-paced walks, medication routines, and providing gentle, attentive care for older pets. At the same time, I can keep up with high-energy dogs who need playtime, enrichment, and structured activity. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I treat every animal like my own and always prioritize their wellbeing, safety, and happiness. I work remotely part-time as a registered dietitian. My days are free after 9am for house visits. If making house visits, it would occur after that time. Walks during the summer are limited with heat, aim for evening or grassy fields to run some energy out during the day. In my client’s home, I care for pets by following their established routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding according to instructions, providing fresh water, regular potty breaks or walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure litter boxes are cleaned, accidents are addressed promptly, and the home is left tidy. For dogs, I prioritize safe leash handling, structured walks, and attention to each dog’s energy level and mobility needs. I’m experienced with large breeds and senior dogs, so I adjust activity accordingly and always prioritize safety (including awareness of bloat risk in deep-chested dogs like Great Danes). For cats, I focus on calm, respectful care—making sure they feel secure, keeping their environment clean, and giving attention based on their personality (whether they are social or prefer space). I also make sure litter boxes are cleaned daily and routines are consistent. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to provide reliable, attentive care so owners can feel confident while they’re away. I also provide updates and photos so you know your pets are safe and happy.
About: There was always an assortment of pets in the house growing up. We had several pit bulls over the years, an Aussie, and at one point 4 cats alongside him. We’ve even raised a couple of bunnies and pet mice I just couldn’t turn away from! I’ve done lots of basic puppy training and even taught my cat a few tricks. Living in an apartment at one point also entailed LOTS of walks and trips to the dog park. I’m not one to turn away from a lost animal, so I’ve rescued and returned a few pups over the years as well! In addition to my own pets, I’ve house sat and cared for the pets of work clients, helped out with neighbors, and family friends pets too. I have plenty of experience with larger breeds but I love little paws too! I currently work part time while I'm working on my business on the side which is on my own time so I'm very flexible! I love to walk in the mornings and evenings, and my longest shift on Fridays is usually 5 hours. My regular work hours: M: 9:30-1:30 T: none W: 9:30-2 Th: none F: 10-3 S: 8-11 S: none I do not offer boarding at this time, but I will be sure to follow whatever guidelines you may leave according to your pet's personal needs. You know your pet best! :)
“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: Hi, I’m Lyla (a.k.a. Nejat on my reviews)—a caring mom of two (ages 16 and 2) and a lifelong animal lover.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kaitlin. She watched our 150 lb cane corso Bruce and cared for him like he was family. Bruce fell in love with her and Koko from the start and it made my heart happy that he was in a warm and loving home while we were away. Kaitlin’s communication was excellent and I loved all the daily updates and photos I received from her! Even when my large dog took over her bed for naps 😂 Kaitlin is very knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior and even did some training with our big guy during his stay. I whole heartedly recommend Kaitlin to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She is truly the best!”

About: Having animals my entire life, from horses to chinchillas and everything in between, I have a deep love and understanding of all God‘s creatures. I have experience in training, gaining trust, and caring for even the most stubborn of animals (Frenchies). I work full-time from home for my own business, so I am fully present throughout the day. Walks can happen early or late, to avoid the high heat. I have a fully fenced backyard at my house and plenty of cool space indoors. My French Bulldog and Burmese cat live at home and love to have 4-legged company.
