“Kelly helped us at the last minute, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Great communication. She and Connor seemed to really love Pretzel. And Jeezy is an awesome laidback dog.”
“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! 🐶”
“I can't say enough positive remarks about Veronica. From initially meeting her (her very polite kids and mellow dogs) I knew our dogs were at the right place. She was welcoming and the experience was positive throughout - even when she told us my dog Sydney was a little homesick. She sent regular updates, including pics of Sydney & Rocket throughout their stay. In addition, she was very accommodating with both the drop off and pickup times. I would highly recommend her and hope she is available if we have the need in the future. Big thank you to her and her family + doggies !!”
“Adriana is the best!!! She takes amazing care of my 2 pups. She sends daily updates, photos, and videos, and she makes sure they are completely loved. My pups have a great time at her home, and they’re always well fed and get good exercise and rest. We’re repeat clients, and I’m able to leave town with no worries. Adriana is amazing!!!”
“Brandon was incredibly accommodating when I had a least minute scheudle change and needed to find a dog sitter. Him and his family took excellent care of my pup, and I was very appreciative of the nightly photo updates. I will absolutely reach back out to Brandon when we need a sitter again!”

“Where do I start? I'll just start like this, Mrs Laree was the greatest. She helped with my concerns fir My Daisy as this was the longest we had been away from her. Her daily updates, and photos were very nice as well.”
“Sure — here’s a more straightforward, clean version: Matthew and Rebecca took great care of my two Shih Tzus while we were traveling. They were reliable, communicative, and clearly attentive to the dogs’ needs. I felt comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands, and I came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups. I would gladly trust them again and recommend them to anyone needing dependable pet care.”
“Steven responded quickly to my last minute request. Excellent communications, constantly updated us with pictures of our pup. Definitely will take my dog to him. Thank you Steven!”

“Michelle treats her guests like her own pets. Cyrus is always there for dropoff and pickup, offering his assistance as needed. When I arrive, her dogs and mine assemble around me for love as if we are all a collective tribe. I couldn't ask for a better pet sitter.”
“Maggie was so great and welcoming! I appreciate her daily check ins of Ivy with loads of pictures and videos. It was wonderful to know Ivy was in great care. Ivy even learned how to use a doggy door during her stay with Maggie. We will definitely book with Maggie again!”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Eric! The communication was incredible—updates everyday, along with adorable photos and videos. Oliver even had his very first modeling photoshoot with Eric. It just showed how much care and attention he was giving to Oliver! He truly went avice and beyond. Eric gave so much attention and patience to Oliver as a puppy. I am truly grateful! This was an incredible pet-sitting experience! Oliver was in the absolute best hands. I highly recommend Eric!!! THANK YOU for taking such great care of my boy!!!”
“It was my 1st time using Rover and was a bit anxious, but everything went well! I came back to a happy puppy. Highly recommended. Even though I was busy, Kameron still updated me with pics and I can just tell my puppy was enjoying her stay.”
“Lance did a great job watching my two dogs! One of them is super high-energy and can be a handful, but he handled her with no problem and kept both pups happy and well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and could tell my dogs felt comfortable and relaxed. Would definitely trust him again!”
“It’s our first time to use Rover and Kristi accepted a last minute request. We had a great experience with Kristi. She sends us pictures/ videos / updates everyday while we were away . We know Daizo found a home while we were gone.. She is also very flexible with drop off and pick up. Highly recommended.”

I highly recommend Leslie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I've been caring for cats for over 20 years and have worked with cats of various ages, personalities, and medical conditions. I've had the privilege of caring for a wide range of animals, including playful kittens, senior cats, shy rescues, bottle babies, and those who require daily medications. I previously worked in a veterinary clinic, where I learned how to handle cats safely, administer oral medications, and give injections as needed. While I no longer work in veterinary medicine, I am comfortable following detailed care instructions and recognizing when something is not quite right. In addition to my professional experience, I spent eight years volunteering with my local Humane Society and four years on its Board of Directors. I also fostered cats and kittens, including neonatal bottle babies, and helped many of them find loving forever homes. I am currently the proud cat mom of three cats, so I understand that each cat has a unique personality and routine. Whether your cat prefers active play, quiet companionship, or simply someone to keep their schedule consistent while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have confidence that your feline family member is in capable hands.
About: I have years of pet care experience, taking care of pets of all shapes sizes and needs! I have extensive extensive experience working with pets that have special needs such as epilepsy and diabetes. I also have experience with reactive dogs, having one myself, so I know how important it is to have a trusted person around to ensure your fur baby is on their schedule and receiving the love and care they need! As a full time remote employee and student I have the flexibility to provide pet care throughout the day to make sure your pet gets the attention care and routine they need! My remote work set up will ensure that your pets needs are met without disruption! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I always take extra precautions to ensure a secure environment, whether it’s keeping a close eye on pets during walks or following your specific care instructions to a T. I understand that every pet is unique and I take the time to build trust through consistent reliable care!
“They were amazing! From caring for my cat to playing with her and from adorable pictures to finding her when she snuck in behind the dishwasher, I had no anxiety having them take care of my cat while I was out. This was an incredible first experience with pet sitting for me, and I 100% recommend!!”

“Destiny was great. She kept me updated when she went to check on my cats and took pictures. She made sure they were doing well, had plenty of food and water, and a clean litter box. When I got home their behavior was just as always, happy, loving, following me around, talking up a storm, and cuddling up at bedtime. That’s how I know for certain Destiny did a great job taking caring of my babies while I was gone. I would definitely highly recommend her and trust her with your fur babies.”

“Laree and Keith were amazing sitters. We initially booked our dogs stay with another sitter. Unfortunately, that didn’t go through so we booked a last minute day care with Laree and Keith.

Thank you again for the last minute booking!”

About: Hello! My name is Jess. I have an empty nest now and a pet-shaped hole in my heart. Looking to care for your furry loved one part-time to get my cuddles. I’ve raised two puppies and cared for dogs ranging from a large mountain cur to a rambunctious maltipoo. I’ve also cared for many cats over the years, especially senior cats with medication and special care needs. Friends regularly rely on me to care for their dogs, cats, and even turtles ha, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and administering medications when needed. I’m a caring, responsible, and easygoing person who will make sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work from home, have no other pets at the moment, and a lovely yard, so your pet will get lots of attention, care, and cuddles throughout the day! You'll receive as many pet photos and updates as you'd like. I’d love the opportunity to meet your fur baby and hope to hear from you soon! I work remote and can be up early at 5 am for early walks.

About: Hi friends! I’m 22 and an Arizona local working at an animal hospital as a kennel assistant with 4+ years of experience. I’ve grown up with dogs of all kinds—from tiny Chihuahuas with big attitudes and sweet senior pitties to my own giant Great Dane/Cane corso (a true gentle giant!). I also share my home with two fluffy cats, so I’m just as comfortable with kitties as I am with pups. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles, I’ll treat your pets like my own. I can also help with nail trims, baths, and I have plenty of experience with big-dog handling, seniors, giving medications, as well with wheelchair users, recovering pets and those requiring extra assistance. I can’t wait to meet your furry family! Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m home often and able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, medication if needed, and lots of one-on-one attention. I strive to make every pet feel comfortable and cared for as if they were my own. I have hard wood tile that helps keep fur belly’s cool after outside time, fully brick fenced yard mostly dry with some artificial grass as well as over head misters. if your fur baby wants some space from my two friendly girl pups that can be done without anyone feeling left out. Can easily be crated if needed and i have extra bedding, bowls, & toys.
About: I’m dependable, easygoing, and always make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I take time to learn their routine and personality so they feel at ease while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just hanging out, I’m happy to give them the attention they need. Between me and my wife, there's always someone around to give pets attention and care. We work as a team to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and part of the family while they’re with us. Our 3 year old shitzu is very relaxed and has stayed with many different animals in the past, she loves to have playmates. And our kids (8-16) love to help give some quality attention as well. At our place, pets get lots of room to run and play in the fenced yard, plus a comfy spot inside to chill. When I’m at your home, I follow your usual routine to keep things easy and familiar for your pet. Either way, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.
About: Love all breeds of dogs. They are loyal and are your family. Walking them is the best. I take my dog Walter on a minimum of 2-4 walks a day. In the summer if too hot I walk early in the morning and later in the evening. I will also go to the dog park for the grass and to meet other dogs only if the owner has taken them to the park before and they give their permission, I am a huge dog lover and I promise to make your pet happy and joyful so you can enjoy your day with no worries! Plan to Walk or board dogs full time in my home. This is a passion of mine since I became a dog mom to Walter my Beagle. We go on several walks a day and also visit the dog park. He loves to meet other dogs and is very calm and friendly. I have a fenced in back yard with real grass for the dogs to play and do their business. I can crate your dog if needed. Love to go on walks during the day and evening hours.

I know my pup is in good hands with her. I definitely recommend her services and will continue to book with her for as long as I can.”
About: I've been told by friends who have dogs, that the relationship I've built with their babes is one based on respect. That is because I am someone who is observant, and looks for the right cues before attempting to step into their comfort zone. Which is why when I'm asked to care for their pets, they can trust that I am there to look after them and care for their boundaries. That is also true when it comes to following their pet's routines and habits that are established, as well as having an understanding of their personalities. Every pet is different, it just takes a little time and patience to understand them. I do work from home two days out of the week, Monday through Friday. However, the remote days are flexible, and the rest of the week I am on the field conducting home visits for patients. Therefore whether you need me to house sit, for a day or two I can adjust my schedule to meet that, as long as I have enough notice. Or if you just need me to stop by for a potty break or a walk, I can add it to my route of visits. On weekends, I am available within reason. I am flexible, and I can do my best to accommodate your needs. It just takes a conversation and some planning. In my home, I do have four babes. One dog and three cats. I do have routines for them when it comes to meal times, and potty breaks. For Nani, my dog. She has her breakfast around the same time every morning, which is usually after I am done getting ready for work. Then soon after she finishes her breakfast, she cues me for a potty walk. We go around the block and she does her business and comes back home to a treat and some play before I go to make my breakfast. For my cats, Chachi, Mizu, and Jojo. They get their breakfast right before I take Nani out for her walk, that way they can eat peacefully and take their time without Nani wagging her tail at them. For the rest of the day, If I am working from home Nani gets a mid day walk around our grassy area at home, but usually in the summer she prefers to stay inside. The cats, I do tend to take mental breaks from my laptop, so one of the things I do is play with them with their string and give them a lil catnip for them to relax. Dinner time is a bit more relaxed, the cats have an auto feeder so their dinner serves at 6pm and for Nani, she gets her dinner, and then she cues me for a walk. Usually my husband and I alternate when following these routines, so in the case I'm out pet sitting, I am grateful that my husband will be able to take care of our babies while I care for yours. That is the way I care for my pets, based on their needs. I am big on routines, because that is how I've raised them to be. However every household has different lifestyles and understanding that is important when choosing to care for someone else's pet's.
About: I have worked in the vet field for about 6 years. I have had pets my whole life. I love cats and dogs very much I’m a SAHM looking for some extra cash while my kiddo is in school. I would love to be there to help take care of your babies when you can’t be there. I live in an apartment with my husband and son. If needed I will come to you for any services. Don’t have a lot of space here.

“Erin was fantastic! She walked my dog for an hour every morning for a full week and was reliable, punctual, and caring throughout. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my dog was getting consistent exercise and attention while I was away. Communication was excellent, and I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely book Erin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate dog walker.”
“Lorinda was friendly, responsive and knowledgeable about how to care for our dog. She was willing to help even during the busy time of the holidays. She went above and beyond for our dog and was great at communicating. We will be calling on her again.”
About: I've always brought home all the stray dogs and cared for the hurt animals. I have always been that friend that everyone counts on when they go out of town to take care of the pets. I love the ask honestly, because I love spending time with them. I am very patient and intuitive and will let your animal get to know me rather than force myself on then. I am retired, so I am free to take care of you animals as much or as little as you need. I am generally an early riser so I can take your dog out for an early walk or run. I'm also available 7 days a week. The care would have to be provided in your home at this time as my rental property will not allow pets at this time. However, I am very flexible about staying overnight at your place.
About: Hi, I’m Lynnette! I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner for as long as I can remember.

I’m also comfortable caring for cats, including cleaning litter boxes. For boarding and sitting, I only care for pets from the same household at the same time to help provide a calmer, safer environment for your babies. I have a large home with plenty of room to run and play, plus a fully enclosed brick backyard for safe outdoor time. We live in a gated community in a nice, safe area of Mesa, so your pets will be comfortable, secure, and well cared for while they’re with us.

My work schedule during the week is fairly inconsistent, but I will only accept bookings if I know I can be home full time with them! I have a safe and very pet-friendly house. There is a large fenced in backyard. I always keep an eye on animals in the backyard. There are no children or other pets in the home.

About: I want to be your new pet sitter! I am obsessed with dogs but I am open to all animals. I have cared for dogs, cats, rats and rabbits. I have been professionally pet sitting since 2018, but have been pet sitting for friends and family long before then. I am very attentive to the animals I care for to make them feel loved and comfortable when their owner is away. I am very responsible and will make sure you have no reason to worry when your home or animals are in my care. I am a ball of energy and am able to go on as many walks a day as necessary for your furbaby. I dog sit from home full time so I am available to provide company to your animals all day long, which is helpful for those with separation anxiety like my little furbaby! I am home all day so I am able to take out for walks as often as needed and am able to provide constant love throughout the day!
About: Hi! I'm Kayla Barnett, an army wife and proud pet parent to two cats and two dogs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life—from growing up with a pet crow named Ivan and a raccoon named Berkeley to rescuing and rehabilitating baby raccoons and skunks. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do; it’s part of who I am. I’ve been walking dogs since middle school and have experience with almost every breed, from Affenpinschers to Pit Bulls and Huskies. I also work on manners and socialization, ensuring pets feel comfortable and cared for. Over the years, I’ve provided pet care for fellow military families, and now that I’m stationed far from a base, I’ve decided to restart my pet-sitting profile. My husband and I are active, love being outdoors, and dream of owning a ranch in Texas one day. Until then, we’re dedicated to giving your fur babies all the love, attention, and care they deserve—just like we would want for our own! Pet Care Schedule: As a full-time pet care provider, I am committed to ensuring your pets receive the attention, care, and love they deserve, around the clock. I offer flexible pet care services and am available 24/7 to handle any emergencies or urgent needs. Weekly Routine: Exercise & Adventure Days: I make sure each pet gets the exercise they need. For dogs that require a lot of movement, we go on longer walks or runs, depending on their energy levels. I also organize playdates when appropriate, so pets can socialize and burn energy. Training & Enrichment: I provide mental stimulation through training sessions, puzzle toys, and engaging activities. If your pet enjoys it, I’ll also work on specific training goals, such as leash walking or new tricks. Emergency Care: As a pet care professional, I understand that emergencies can arise. I’m available 24/7 for urgent care needs or last-minute appointments. Whether it’s a sudden health issue or you need someone to step in at the last minute, I’m here to help. Special Skills: I have experience with farm animals, exotics, and animals of all sizes, including large and more challenging pets. I am passionate about learning new animal care techniques and husbandry, so whether it’s a bird, reptile, or large farm animal, I am more than happy to take on the challenge! No matter the species, size, or care needs of your pet, I tailor my routine to match their individual requirements. I love all animals, from furry friends to scaly companions, and am dedicated to making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and safe. I understand how important it is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your pets. In our home, we believe in creating a space where every pet can feel at ease, whether they’re staying for a few hours or a few days. I share my home with two cats and two dogs who absolutely love making new friends. They help ensure every guest feels welcome, and their playful energy can keep even the most energetic pets entertained. We have a fully fenced yard and a two-story home, so there’s plenty of room for pets to roam and relax. Whether your pet needs their own quiet space, or they prefer to join in on the fun with the rest of the crew, we can accommodate their needs. We also have both small and large kennels for pets who prefer some time to themselves. Safety and trust are at the heart of everything we do. I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs and personality. Whether your pet enjoys snuggling up with the family at night or prefers some private space, we’re here to cater to their comfort. I’m a calm and patient person, and I take pride in building trust with even the shyest kitty or the most energetic dog. If your pet needs extra attention, whether it’s some quiet time or running miles for their daily exercise, I’m happy to help. Every pet is unique, and I’m committed to ensuring that they feel right at home while they’re with us.
About: With nearly 9 years of hands-on pet care experience, I provide loving, attentive, and routine-based care for both dogs and cats! I have cared for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs-including administering medications, post-surgery support, and special diets. I take time to build trust with each pet at their pace, especially those who are shy, anxious, or new to a caregiver/walker. I am calm in emergencies and proactive with communication-whether that meant safely rushing a dog to the vet in an emergency or nursing my rescue cat back to health after temporary blindness. Pet parents trust me for my reliability, detailed updates, and genuine love for animals. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always comes first! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m currently taking a break from teaching elementary school this year to focus on other passions, which allows me to be fully present and flexible for the pets I care for. I have the time and availability to maintain consistent routines, accommodate midday, walks, extended visits, and last-minute needs, and give each pet the attention they deserve. Caring for animals has always been a meaningful part of my life, and this season allows me to prioritize it fully. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any household preferences. I take time to build trust with each pet, move at their comfort level and provide calm, loving attention – especially for pets that may feel anxious when their owners are away. I keep homes clean and secure, provide regular updates with photos and notes, and always prioritize safety. My goal is for pets to feel comfortable, cared for, and relaxed in their own environment, and for owners to feel complete peace of mind while they’re away.

“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! 🐶”
“I can't say enough positive remarks about Veronica. From initially meeting her (her very polite kids and mellow dogs) I knew our dogs were at the right place. She was welcoming and the experience was positive throughout - even when she told us my dog Sydney was a little homesick. She sent regular updates, including pics of Sydney & Rocket throughout their stay. In addition, she was very accommodating with both the drop off and pickup times. I would highly recommend her and hope she is available if we have the need in the future. Big thank you to her and her family + doggies !!”
“Celeste is truly the best there is to look after your furry friend. I was constantly updated with adorable photos that helped reassure my inner anxious dog mom. I will be booking again with her, and I highly recommend her services.”
“Where do I start? I'll just start like this, Mrs Laree was the greatest. She helped with my concerns fir My Daisy as this was the longest we had been away from her. Her daily updates, and photos were very nice as well.”
“Steven responded quickly to my last minute request. Excellent communications, constantly updated us with pictures of our pup. Definitely will take my dog to him. Thank you Steven!”
“James and Erin were absolutely fantastic! My dog Nala loved the constant attention from the two, and the play time she received with their other dogs. Frequent updates with pictures were provided, which I really appreciated! Will definitely be using them again :)”
“Curtis was absolutely incredible !!! Our pup was so incredibly happy. He had lots of room to play in the backyard. He constantly updated us with pictures each day. We will definitely use Curtis again, he was awesome!!! 10/10 recommend.”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Eric! The communication was incredible—updates everyday, along with adorable photos and videos. Oliver even had his very first modeling photoshoot with Eric. It just showed how much care and attention he was giving to Oliver! He truly went avice and beyond. Eric gave so much attention and patience to Oliver as a puppy. I am truly grateful! This was an incredible pet-sitting experience! Oliver was in the absolute best hands. I highly recommend Eric!!! THANK YOU for taking such great care of my boy!!!”
“Lance did a great job watching my two dogs! One of them is super high-energy and can be a handful, but he handled her with no problem and kept both pups happy and well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and could tell my dogs felt comfortable and relaxed. Would definitely trust him again!”
“Can’t say enough great things about Kash’s stay. Sharon is so caring and did so many fun activities with our active and full of personality doodle. We are so grateful for her thoughtfulness by sending so many great pictures and updates. So thankful to have found her to watch Kash last minute when we were in a bind, we are hoping to book again in the future!!”
“Jessica and her family took excellent care of my hyper golden retriever. He was so loved and got plenty of exercise. If we weren’t just passing through town I would use her regularly!”
“Jesse was great and very accommodating! They spoiled amiri and sent pictures and from the pictures that were sent I knew amiri was being loved and well taken care of. They went over and beyond to make sure she was well taken care of.”
“Mikel was amazing, probably the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! My dog Luca is very complex, he has both physical disabilities and some emotional/behavioral struggles due to a car accident. I went on vacation for the first time since the accident, leaving him with Mikel, and was very nervous and didn’t know what to expect, but Mikel made the whole process so much easier. He kept me constantly updated with pictures and videos and took the time to understand why my dog had certain behaviors and how to try to fix and adapt to them. He would let me know of his concerns, but constantly reassured me that he could handle it, and he did. I am so grateful for his patience and understanding and would recommend him to any and everyone!”
“Leanna and her family were such an ideal fit. Their dog Rizzo is a giant sweetheart and got along very well with my husky. I would highly recommend them and look forward to having them watch my boy again soon!”
“Stacy and her family were absolutely wonderful! They gave Chloe so much love and attention, making sure she had plenty of cuddles and playtime. This was Chloe's first time at a sitter and she came home the happy, active puppy she was when I dropped her off. Stacy communicated with me daily, and answered any question I had. I felt completely relaxed on vacation knowing Chloe was being well cared for.”
“Erica is amazing. Kind, personable, and genuinely invested. It’s like leaving your pet with your good friend! She takes the time to bond, not just check a box. Kept me updated with photos and text updates with any little details. Her son is also the sweetest little guy. I’d recommend her a thousand times over.”
