“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!!”
“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.”
“I knew as soon as I met Richard I had nothing to worry about regarding Blake s care while I was in the hospital and recuperating afterward. I really enjoyed getting photos almost every day.”
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!
“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.”
“Nicole was wonderful! Great communication, very responsive. She was also really flexible with me and let me decide whether to board Xena at her place, or to have her drop in a couple of times a day. We ultimately chose to board her, because she has two sweet and silly pups and Xena loves other dogs! But also because during our meet and greet, Nicole was lovely and attentive and very reassuring! Happy to have found someone so close by also!”
“I had a great experience with Jason watching my goldendoodle, Jackson, for four days. Jackson got along nicely with his two dogs and came home tired from lots of activity. Jason seems kind and was intuitive to Jackson’s personality.”
“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! 🐶✨”
“Junyeong & June took excellent care of our Danika. We requested an extension for emergency reason and we were so happy that they were willing to take care of Danika. They send us pictures and updates. Danika enjoys her stay with them.”
“We love leaving koda with Ash! She’s always so well cared for and loved! Ash is always updating us about koda and letting us know how she’s doing while we’re away. She’s quick to respond and is great for last minute trips!”
“I thoroughly enjoyed having Bonita as my sitter. She is so kind, and was very patient with my sometimes stubborn and naughty Foxy dog. I will absolutely call on her again should I decide to go on another adventure.”
“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.”
“Christina is very responsive and helped put my mind at ease when leaving my pup for the first time. My dog loves Christina and her family and has so much fun while he's there. He has so much fun playing and is always worn out when I pick him up! 🐶”
“Communicative and flexible, accommodated a mid-trip change due to a family emergency. Her dog Lucky got along great with mine and I received updates of the dogs happily playing”
“Katherine and Tanner took great care of Dakota during her stay. Communication was easy and consistent, and they clearly made an effort to keep her comfortable and cared for. Dakota came home happy and relaxed — always a good sign! Would definitely trust them again.”
“Xavier was extremely personable and kind from start to finish! You just KNOW he’s a dog lover. Highly recommended! If you’re looking for a caring, professional that communicates exceptionally, look no further!”
“Shushma was able to accommodate a last-minute booking, which I really appreciated. My dogs were cared for and everything went smoothly overall. I’m grateful they were safe and looked after, and I appreciate the help with them. Thank you”

“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“We were very grateful to have Suzie look after our kitty. She did a great job not only feeding and cleaning out the litter box, but also playing with him and cleaning up after some mischievousness. Suzie made it easy to relax while we were away and we will definitely use her again.”
“Ella was amazing and took good care of my fur babies! The pictures and updates helped to bring me peace of mind as I was across the country. We will definitely use her again!”
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.
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. I always tailor care to each cat’s personality and routine while providing attentive care, communication, and photo updates throughout visits!
“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!”
“Leilani helped me out caring for Kane last minute after my sitter pulled out when I was out of the country. I appreciate her so much for taking the time very last minute.”
“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!”
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!
“Jen was the best!! She provided outstanding care for our cat. She kept all appointments on time. Kept us informed how our cat was doing, sent lots of pictures and text updates. She spent extra time playing with our cat. When we got home, we were met by a very happy kitty!!! She is usually mad at us for a few hours, but not this time!! Returning after 7 days, it was like we never left!!! I would recommend Jen anytime!!! All ready have her booked for our next trip!”
About: I’ve also had experience caring for cats over the past four years, including raising three kittens of my own. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, and helping cats feel safe and comfortable in their home environment.

“Jennifer was great! She was friendly, communicative and ready for us bright and early. I got pictures of Whiskey throughout the day which was comforting knowing he was doing well in her home. Thank you Jennifer for welcoming Whiskey into your home.”
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.
“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.”
“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.”
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 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.
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.
“Suzie was wonderful! I had no worries leaving my dog in her hands. They had a nice walk and she helped fill up the water bowl without me asking. Will definitely hire her again!”
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’ve cared for my own dog since I was 12 and babysat many friends pets! I was also a dog nanny for 3 years where I drove or flew dogs from shelters and responsible breeders all over the US to give them forever homes. I’d love to care for your pets when you might not have time to! I am currently in between jobs because of off season approaching so I am available full time for any pet sitting needs! I’d love to help you out with around the clock care! As of now my apartment is a not pet friendly but I’d be more then happy to stop by your house or stay overnight to make sure your pets needs are met.
“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: 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: 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 am currently a volunteer (trained in dog care/cleaning) at the AZ Humane Society in Sunnyslope and I'm looking for a way to help closer to home - What to expect: I am very attentive, respectful and most importantly, love ALL dogs. Everything will be done as instructed and I try my best to leave things in better shape then I found them. You will have absolutely nothing to worry about. I work from home and I am self employed - allowing me all the flexibility to ensure on time arrival and adequate attention to your pup! I have received dog training from the AZ Humane Society (volunteering for almost 2 years) and feel confident in my abilities to care for your dog and space
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.
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: I have taken care of over 5 dogs in my household since I was 8. I’m very passionate about caring for dogs and making sure they are treated well. I’m currently a full-time student but have plenty of free time on the weekends and occasionally weekdays. I’m open to afternoon hours during weekdays and all hours during weekends. I will make sure your dog is well fed, has plenty of water, and stays happy and healthy. I will be sure to follow any specific instructions my client has left for me.
“After being with the same Rover walkers (they worked as a couple and recently moved away) for almost 2 years, we were nervous about entrusting our big, older dog to someone else. Justin eased our fears right away. Bamboo took to him immediately so that was the first thing. Justin let us know when he picked her up and dropped her off for her daily walks this week and he's also been super communicative via text -- something I really appreciate. We're looking forward to a lasting relationship with Justin!”
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: 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.

“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.”
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!
“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.”
“I had a great experience with Jason watching my goldendoodle, Jackson, for four days. Jackson got along nicely with his two dogs and came home tired from lots of activity. Jason seems kind and was intuitive to Jackson’s personality.”
“Christina is very responsive and helped put my mind at ease when leaving my pup for the first time. My dog loves Christina and her family and has so much fun while he's there. He has so much fun playing and is always worn out when I pick him up! 🐶”
“Communicative and flexible, accommodated a mid-trip change due to a family emergency. Her dog Lucky got along great with mine and I received updates of the dogs happily playing”
“Katherine and Tanner took great care of Dakota during her stay. Communication was easy and consistent, and they clearly made an effort to keep her comfortable and cared for. Dakota came home happy and relaxed — always a good sign! Would definitely trust them again.”
“Xavier was extremely personable and kind from start to finish! You just KNOW he’s a dog lover. Highly recommended! If you’re looking for a caring, professional that communicates exceptionally, look no further!”
“Shushma was able to accommodate a last-minute booking, which I really appreciated. My dogs were cared for and everything went smoothly overall. I’m grateful they were safe and looked after, and I appreciate the help with them. Thank you”
“Elizabeth was wonderful! She sent photos every day, was incredibly responsive, and my dog loved spending a weekend with her family. Highly recommend!”
“Rene was so kind and understanding when we had an emergency and needed someone we could rely on with our boy. She was very flexible to help accommodate our needs and we know our boy was well taken care of in her home. We can’t thank her enough for everything she did to help us and care for him.”
“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!”
“Diana was great with our golden retriever. She sent pictures daily and we could tell our dog was very comfortable with her. She has a nice size yard with grass in it, will use her again. Thank you!”
“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. 😊”
“Kaitlyn and her family were awesome! We did a meet and greet, and I felt very comfortable with leaving my dog with them. Kaitlyn did great with making sure he received his seizure medication even when he decided he didn’t want to take it like he normally does for me. I appreciated the communication, updates, and pictures she provided. I’d never had a difficult time getting my dog to leave the sitter’s until I picked him up from there. I could tell that he received a lot of love and playtime as he tried to turn around to go back and then whined a little as the boys walked away. I highly recommend Kaitlyn to provide the very best care for your fur baby!”
“Lacey was great! Huge grassy yard and a dog friendly home. She was very responsive and checked in and sent pics several times throughout my puppy’s weekend stay. It was my puppy’s first overnight and she did great and came back happy.”
“Sierra and Jason thank you for taking care of my Lilly and providing me with updates along with pictures. You showed my fur baby compassion when she was triggered by the storm. I truly appreciate that and would recommend your services to everyone! Thank you!”
