“We felt very comfortable having Caroline take care of Dolly while we were away, She kept us updated on how things were going and sent some cute pictures along the way. We would recommend her and would use her for future pet sitting.”
“Jessie and her family took great care of our pup! I appreciated that Jessie was excellent about communicating with us before and during the stay. We would book Jessie again.”
“Brenda is the best. No one cares more than Brenda. On a recent trip, our return was delayed by over a week. Brenda kindly cared for our puppy an extra week. It would have been even more stressful if not for Brenda.”
“Sara was absolutely amazing with my dog, Charlie! I get nervous leaving him with people and she took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout his stay. I will definitely be using her again!”
“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!”

“Richard was absolutely wonderful with my dog! From the moment we connected, he was professional, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. He kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was happy and well cared for. Would defiantly hire him next time. Thanks Richard for taking good care of Zaiden.”
“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!”
“Lauren and her family were great to work with. Our dogs had such a great time and were not as excited to leave when I picked them up as I thought they would be - tells me they enjoyed their time! I would strongly recommend Lauren to watch your pups!”
“Our dog loves her and her family! We get such good updates every day and we are grateful to see how his vacation is going as well! Our dog leaves happy and exhausted with all the play time! She is amazing with our dog and we would highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Darlene and Dave have now saved us countless times on short notice. My dogs get a mini vacation with them and my pups get so excited when I say, "Are you going to visit Darlene and Dave?" Thank you!”
“Menaj was awesome! She took amazing care of my puppy Rusty and my older dog Lilly. Thank you Menaj for the love you gave my babies while I was gone:)”

“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: Hi! I’m Kristy, a reliable and caring dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I’m looking to care for some wonderful pups in my local area during the evenings. My availability is primarily in the evenings, and I’m especially happy to help with evening walks and drop-in visits. My schedule varies every other week, so I keep my Rover calendar updated with the specific evenings I’m available. I’m flexible when I have availability and will always make sure I can give your pup the time and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m dependable, attentive, and will follow your care instructions closely. I’ll make sure your pup is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention during every visit. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐾
“Brenda took such great care of our two kitties, one of which needed oral medication. She was timely and a great communicator, including texting lots of pics with each visit!”
“Krista was wonderful with our two tabby’s. They both are usually shy around new people, however her loving energy won them both over immediately. I highly recommend Krista, she went above and beyond caring for our cats.”
“Linda is such a sweet and caring person. We needed her to come care for our kitty at a very specific time and also administer her medication. She did everything we asked and it was very comforting to know she was so caring and capable!”
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.
“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!”
“Jen did a fantastic job!! On time, our cat loved playing with her. Jen kept us updated and sent us pictures during each visit. Would highly recommend Jen to care for your cat or dog!”
“Katelyn does such an amazing job every time she watches my cat! She takes excellent care of her and kept me updated with photos during the stay, which really kept me at ease while I was away. It’s obvious Katelyn genuinely loves animals and treats them as her own. Everything went smooth, communication was prompt, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover sitter!”
“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.”
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.
“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!!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple kittens, multiple cats and spicy cats. Personally I own a pretty spicy cat and know how to handle cats who can be hard to handle. I’ve fed, cleaned and cared for a litter of kittens. I’ve done drop in visits for cats as well.
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.

“Rory was happy hanging out with Brenda and her pups while we golfed. Since his brother died he doesn’t like to be left alone so it was nice to be able to leave him knowing that we would be well taken care of.”
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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Always great with my puppy. He gets ton of 1 on 1 attention and reaffirming with his training. Lauren is super friendly and always responds quickly and gives cute updates with photos.”
“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: 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!
“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.”
“Julija and her family take such good care of Moon while I’m at work. I feel like I can breathe knowing that she is in good hands whenever I drop her off. She always falls fast asleep as soon as I pick her up too, which tells me she has a blast while there! I highly recommend her as your dog sitter!”
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.
“Thank you for watching my baby Greg! She had the best time and got along so well with your doggies. She will absolutely stay again some day soon! I didn’t worry about her one bit! Thank you again for taking such good care of her all day. ?”
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!
“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?”
“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!”
About: I'm in my 30s and have always had at least one (or more) family dog to care for. I am happy to give your pup as much love as I do for my own two, a friendly Cavapoo and Cockapoo. Will stick to your routine and any needs you or your pup express. I'm a flexible and easy-going guy who would love to help you and give your dog some company in a happy home with two more cute and friendly dogs of my own. I currently work from home and am with my two friendly doggies (a Cavapoo and Cockapoo) all day. I only step out briefly to run an errand here and there. When the weather permits and it is not too hot, I take my dogs for walks in the neighborhood and the dog park. When the weather is extreme, I let my pups out into the backyard and then back at home. Dog care is my passion as I find it to be mutually beneficial for the pet and myself. I follow your schedule and routine as closely as possible and will give your sweet pet as much love as I do to my own two. I have a fully fenced in yard, which allows for free roaming and potty time as needed. I also take pups for walks, weather permitting. I have many toys and will also send photo and text updates to let you know that your little guy or gal are doing well. Lastly, I'm happy to provide a free meet and greet so that you're able to meet me and our pups can interact.
“Kevin was awesome with Millie!! He really knows dogs, and tailored his care to her personality and needs. We were really impressed with how quickly she felt comfortable with him. We can’t wait to book our next play date!”
About: If you’re the type of pet parent who wants their pet cuddled, loved on, groomed, and genuinely doted on, I’m your person. Animals have always been a part of my life, and I’ve never known a time without them. I’m naturally very loving and protective, and I take pet care personally. I treat pets like family, not like a job, and I genuinely enjoy making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. As a pet owner myself, I know how stressful it can be to trust someone else with your animal. I keep that in mind whenever I’m caring for someone else’s pet — I’m the type who will happily flood your phone with pictures and keep communication open so you always know what’s going on. Honestly, it’s a win-win: I get to enjoy spending time with your pet, and you get peace of mind while you’re away. Im currently a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule, Im home throughout the day and able to accommodate drop-ins and last minute request when needed/ Your fur baby will be cared for with genuine care and close attention in a setting where their comfort and routines are respected. . My home is equipped with multiple indoor cameras to provide an added layer of supervision and I also have a quiet, low-stimulus den when needed to help visiting pets acclimate comfortably and reduce stress.
“Joseph is the absolute best with our girl, Zelda! He sent updates throughout the day with pictures. By the second day of doggy daycare, Zelda would wag her tail as soon as we parked at his place. 10/10 definitely recommend!!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Carefree
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.
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: 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 24 years of hands-on pet care experience that has shaped how I approach every pet in my care. I've worked in veterinary hospital and emergency clinic settings, which gave me insight into animal health, behavior under stress, and the importance of following detailed care instructions precisely. That clinical background means I understand the nuances of how pets respond to different situations and how to keep them calm and secure. Beyond pet care, my background in health and wellness, private security, and farming has reinforced core values that directly translate to how I work with your pets: attention to detail, strict adherence to procedures, accountability, and the ability to manage multiple responsibilities simultaneously. These experiences taught me that consistency and reliability aren't optional, they're foundational. I have solid behavioral training experience and can seamlessly maintain whatever training regimen your pet is already on, ensuring continuity and progress while they're in my care. I'm comfortable handling multiple pets at once and can manage moderately complex care situations, though I'm clear about my boundaries, I don't take on intense medical/veterinary tasks. What I do excel at is creating a stable, attentive environment where pets feel secure and owners feel confident their pets are in capable hands. I've structured my schedule to prioritize pet care full-time. This means I'm available to work around your needs and your pet's routine. Whether that's consistent weekly sits, last-minute coverage, or flexible arrangements. I'm selective about the clients I take on, so when we're a good fit, I'm fully committed to providing the level of care your best friend deserves I currently provide in-home care exclusively: drop-in visits for feeding and playtime, sitting services, and overnight stays. Because I'm in your home, I treat it with the same respect and attention I give your pet. I follow your routines precisely: feeding schedules, training methods, house rules, and any special requests you have. Consistency is non-negotiable. Communication is built into everything I do. You'll know what's happening with your pet, and I'm accessible if anything comes up. My background in security and attention to detail means I'm naturally protective, both of your dog's wellbeing and your home. I've completed and cleared my Arizona Centralized background check, so you can have complete peace of mind. I understand that bringing someone into your home to care for your best friend is a significant decision. That's why I take every responsibility seriously, from the smallest detail about your pet's preferences to the security of your space. Your trust is everything.
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.
“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: 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: 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.
“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’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and have always had a deep love for animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they receive meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention on schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment while following your care instructions closely. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, playtime, meals, fresh water, and lots of affection, while keeping you updated with photos and messages.
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 Lyla (a.k.a. Nejat on my reviews)—a caring mom of two (ages 16 and 2) and a lifelong animal lover. We’ve always had pets in our lives, and my girls are gentle, kind, and respectful with animals. I have a flexible schedule for walks and drop-ins, and for overnight sits it will be the three of us. We’ll treat your pets like family and your home with care. You can count on lots of love, attention, and reliable updates while you’re away. I’m currently building my own business, which gives me a very flexible schedule. That flexibility lets me be present and attentive with your pets. My daughter and I enjoy sharing the care, feeding, walking, and spending time with them, just like we do with our own. You can trust that your dog will always be safe, loved, and well cared for with us. We care for pets in my home or yours with the same love, safety, and attention I give my own. I’ll always honor your instruction how you would like your pet to be cared for.

“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: We know leaving your dog behind can be stressful, so our goal is to make them feel like they’re on vacation too! We only host one family’s dog(s) at a time, so your pup will receive our full attention in a calm, loving home—never a crowded doggy daycare environment. We’re a family of four who genuinely loves dogs. Our 11-year-old son enjoys playing fetch, going for walks, and giving plenty of affection, while our 12-year-old daughter loves working on basic training and teaching fun tricks (with your approval, of course!). My husband, Justin, and I have always been dog lovers. After losing our beloved dog, Rev, this past February, our home has felt a little quieter. While we’re not quite ready to welcome another dog of our own, we’d love the opportunity to care for and spoil yours as if they were part of our family. I work from home, so your dog will have companionship throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long stretches. We also have a sweet senior cat, so we’re looking for dogs that are comfortable around cats or have lived with them before. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a quiet place to relax, we’ll tailor their stay to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you’re home again. I work from home so your pup will have company most of the day. When the kids get home from school you can expect a lot of loving and play time. We have a fenced yard, pool (no fence), and a crate we can offer if your dog prefers to be crated at night or if we leave periodically throughout the day
“Terry watched our golden retriever Rosy for a week while we were on spring break. She was great at communicating with us how Rosy was doing and sent us pictures daily, which we were delighted to see.”
