“Christi was amazing to work with. It’s clear she loves dogs and wants to make sure your pup has a good experience. She took wonderful care of my dog and went above and beyond when we thought Willow might have a UTI. My dog came home happy and tired. :) I will absolutely use her again!”
“Carlitos came home tired from a fun night at Amber’s! He really enjoys going there and gets visibly excited to go into the home which makes boarding him that much easier.”
“Carolyn did a great job taking care of our puppy while we went out of town. She had excellent communication including pictures and videos too. Will use her again in the future.”
“Celeste was awesome sauce. Very attentive with Mathius and if he's happy so I'm I. Great with communication and also accommodating with times for drop and pick. Thanks J. Scott”
“Anabell and her son, Esteban, were wonderful dog sitters. They sent lots of pictures along with what they did each day. They both showered Jake with lots of love and yummy treats. Jake had fun with the other dogs and was happy when I picked him up. I was so thankful to find such wonderful people to cere for my Jake. The best dog sitters ever!”
“Heidi is wonderful! Our 2 boys were well cared for and very active while in her care. She sent frequent updates with pictures and videos. It was wonderful to get away for a short family trip knowing our other family members were also having some fun. Thank you again to Heidi and her family for being so patient and kind with our dogs.”
“I would highly recommend Curtis and his family. I was nervous about leaving my dogs for 16 days, but after receiving daily photos and texts I could tell they were in good hands! Thank you for taking good care of my boys.”
“Brenda was the best for my Covid-era dog who is used to sitting with me while I work from home. Shmoo was instantly at home with her, and was spoiled during her extended stay. I had been extremely worried about leaving her, since she has never been away from me, and isn't used to other dogs, but she came home happy and with an extra toy. I got pictures daily, she had extended walks, special instructions/needs were accommodated, and I absolutely can't imagine having left her with anyone else. Highly recommend!”
“Kelly is warm and genuine in her love for dogs! I was confident my dog would be safe, relaxed, and well-cared for in Kelly’s home. I picked up a happy dog and am pleased! Thank you Kelly for a terrific 1st boarding.”
“Andrea was amazing! She took such great care of our Luna and kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Luna received plenty of one-on-one attention, and it was clear she was well cared for and loved. We will definitely be booking with Andrea again, especially if you’re looking for someone who provides individualized care for your dog. Highly recommend!”
“Adriana is the absolute best. My pups love her so much they aren’t even excited to see me when I get back! Lol. She does a wonderful job of keeping me updated and loving on my babies. I even had a slight delay in my flight and she was so accommodating. I had nothing to worry about and could enjoy my vacation knowing my pups were in good hands.”
“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.”
“Janna provides a beautiful home and a welcoming kind spirit. She made sure Zoey's fresh food was kept frozen until time to feed. I felt comfortable leaving my Zoey with Janna confident she would be well taken care of. Communication was excellent and I appreciated the updates with photos.”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter and Jessica was great! She responded to my messages timely and sent pictures. Also, Lilly came home exhausted from playing with the other dogs. We would definitely have Jessica take care of Lilly again.”
“Brandon is amazing! Can’t recommend more. Great communication and kept me updated with so many photos. My dog was so peaceful and relaxed on the way home, you could tell he was well cared for and felt right at home.”
“Erin & James are hands down the best pupsitters that I’ve ever had. My little girl is very anxious and change is hard for her. Erin & James have such a comfortable and loving home and it was so evident how much they cared about Stevie’s comfort and well being while she was with them. They provided daily updates & pictures which meant so much to me. I highly, highly recommend them.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! Our dog is naturally very nervous and anxious around new people, so we were worried about leaving him. From the very beginning, it was clear that our sitter was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. They took the time to earn his trust, followed his routine carefully, and made him feel safe and comfortable. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Seeing our anxious pup relaxed and even enjoying himself was the best reassurance we could have hoped for. It truly takes a special person to care for a dog with anxiety, and they exceeded all our expectations. We are so grateful for the exceptional care and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone, especially those with shy, nervous, or anxious pets. We will absolutely be booking with them again!”

“Rachelle was great! Very kind and a lover of cats. She followed all of the instructions, did above and beyond, and updated me with messages and pictures. I definitely recommend!”
“Katie is amazing. Would highly recommend her for future jobs. She has excellent communication and was great with my cat. She provided detailed reports with lots of pictures. She even went above and beyond my requests of just feeding and cleaning the cat litter. Thanks again Katie and I hope your available on my next trip.”
“Madison is always wonderful with the kids! She did a quick drop-in to feed our three cats and made sure to spend a little time with them too. Super responsive, reliable, and sweet—we’re so grateful for her help!”
“Last minute I needed a Rover and Nikkole popped up on my recommendations. She was GREAT! She followed the instructions to a T, was on time, and extremely communicative. My 4 year old Australian Shepard can be a lot and Nikkole did a great job playing fetch. My black cat was being initially shy and Nikkole climbed under our bed with churu to show her she was safe, and within 10 minutes the cat was sitting on her lap. Nikkole has become a new go to sitter for me and can’t thank her enough for the last minute help!”
“Natalie was great! She took excellent care of our two kitties and our home while we were away. We will definitely be using her again, and I highly recommend her… thanks Natalie!”
“Chelsea was great! Communicated with me every single day and I felt my babies were in good hands. I would absolutely recommend and will definitely be asking her to babysit for us again! Thanks Chels! :)”
“Jessica was awesome! Very accommodating, very kind to my anxious kitty, and the check ins were detailed. Helped my nerves leaving my cat with someone else! Will definitely use again and I definitely recommend”
“Therese is fantastic! We found ourselves in a pickle and asked her to watch our cat with very short notice. Not only did she accept, she was willing to go over that same day to check on our cat. She sent regular video updates and made sure everything was taken care of while we were out. We will definitely be requesting her help again in the future, thank you Therese!”
“Leslie is wonderful! My senior cat had recently recovered from an emergency surgery and I was feeling really anxious about leaving him for a week, but Leslie took such good care of him and my other kitty- I was able to enjoy my vacation worry free. She sent daily updates and photos which I really appreciated. Leslie is reliable and kind and I am so grateful for the care and attention she provided to my fur babies. I would 1000% reccommend her!”
About: I have been a cat owner for about 8 years as well as being a final year vet student. I have loads of experience with fearful, nervous, fractious, cuddley, senior, juvenile cats as well as any kitties with medical conditions.
“We needed Isabella to check on our cat for a few days while we were away on an extended trip, so we didn’t get a chance to meet first. She was amazing! She updated me about Queenie, and made sure other needs around the house were taken care of. It’s hard to trust folks you haven’t worked with before with your pets— but Isabella was a great choice! We would hire her again, Queens would approve.”
About: I have had cats since I was in diapers! We currently have 2 cats, one is 1.5years old and the other is a 6 year old sphynx. They are both female and love to play. I have cared for cats young and old, with regular needs and with medical needs such as diabetes. I’ll always provide a safe, loving home for your furry friend!
“Samantha is excellent. My cat was very well taken care of. I received daily updates and when I returned home I could see everything was done as agreed. I highly recommend Samantha.”
“Jason is professional and personable. He is helping us feel at ease about leaving our rambunctious Rosie with him for our upcoming trip. Thankful we found him through Rover. Sincerely, Mark and Loretta”
About: Ive been helping look after peoples furbabies and fostering for 20 years. I've owned many dogs and cats that have all been happy, gentle and well trained pets I work from home and when Im not working part of the day I love taking my dog and others (if you are okay with it) for outings to Home Depot , Goldwater Brewery and just about anywhere else I can take them with me. I also send videos and pic updates as often as you like I have a large fenced yard and pool which they are welcome to swim in if they like. I do not leave them outside unattended, when indoors they can explore freely as they like or cuddle up with me while I work. I give treats during the day and like to teach them new tricks. IF your pet is used to being on furniture I do require that you bring a crate for them to sleep in. I do not allow dogs on my furniture in my home therefor they will be crated at night to sleep if they will not stay off the furniture. Also, please bathe your furbabies and their bedding before dropping them, send me a picture of immunizations via text and be sure that your pet does not have fleas and preferably on flea medicine (this is to protect all my pets I care for including my own and my home)
About: My experience comes from always having a dog. My family is extremely pet friendly so I’ve always been surrounded by dogs or all breeds. I love their company and personalities. I am able to give basic care such as baths and medication administration. I currently work part time so my availability is random at the moment. I will be best suited for boarding and drop-ins at this time. I have a back yard area that is not fenced however it is away from people. My dogs fo very well staying in the areas because it is pretty big. My dogs are lazy so we do t go on long walks, but I am more than happy to host a playful, energetic dog.
“Marsa did an amazing job; I could not have been happier with the service she provided. I have two very large fur babies which she handled with ease. She updated me each day of my trip. My puppies had been brushed and the house was clean when I returned. Thank you, Marsa!”

I was able to take care of my situation all day long and they were in great hands with rebooking an instant whenever I need doggy daycare in an emergency or not thank you Carolyn for taking such great care of them Katie and Kate King Charles”
“Rosie loves days that she gets to go to Jessica’s! She always has a great time and leaves tired. And Jessica is great at communicating and working with our schedule. Would recommend!”

I also have a doggy door and enclosed backyard. I currently a stay at home mom. All pups will have access to a doggy door and can be outside when ever they need or want. 💯 I have a fenced in yard.

“I loved Krysten! She was so patient with my puppy even though he is a big boy! She took him on walks and let him around her kids. I will always come back to Krysten everytime she is available”
About: We know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. As parents of two and lifelong pet lovers, our home is filled with love, patience, and plenty of attention for every pet in our care. When your pet stays with us, they're treated like one of our own. Every dog has a unique personality, and we take the time to learn what makes yours happy and comfortable. Whether they love long walks, games of fetch, belly rubs, snuggling on the couch, or simply relaxing in a calm environment, we'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. We're dependable, attentive, and committed to maintaining your pet's routine. We'll carefully follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, provide plenty of exercise, and accommodate any special instructions to ensure consistency and comfort while you're away. We also understand how much you'll miss your pet, which is why we'll send regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing they're happy, safe, and receiving lots of love. Our goal is simple: to provide a second home where your pet is cared for with the same kindness, affection, and attention we'd want for our own. We look forward to welcoming you and your furry family members into ours! 🐾❤️ Pet care is a natural part of our family's daily routine. Because one of us works from home, there's almost always someone around to provide companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. We build walks, outdoor time, feeding schedules, and cuddle sessions into our daily routine, so pets receive consistent care and aren't left alone for long periods. We enjoy staying active, and spending time with dogs is something our whole family genuinely looks forward to. Whether it's morning walks, afternoon playtime, or relaxing together in the evening, we make sure every pet feels loved, comfortable, and included. Our goal is to provide a safe, caring environment where your pet feels like part of the family until you return. Our home is designed with your pet's safety and comfort in mind. We have a large, fully fenced backyard with a double-gate system to help prevent accidental escapes, along with a security screen door that provides an extra layer of protection when guests arrive. When we're home, pets are treated like part of the family. They're welcome to spend time with us throughout the house, whether that's relaxing, playing, or snuggling nearby. At bedtime, our own dogs sleep in our room, and we do our best to maintain each guest pet's normal routine whenever possible. When we leave the house, our dogs are safely separated based on their individual needs—one is crate-trained and rests comfortably in their crate, while the other stays in our laundry room. We are happy to follow your pet's preferred routine as well, whether that includes crating, free-roaming, or another arrangement that helps them feel safe and comfortable.
“Tom was great with my malti-poo, Carlos. We were in the Mesa area visiting friends for a week, and Tom was a great day-care provider for Carlos, allowing us to golf, shop, dine, etc. Tom communicates, has a nice place for dogs, is careful and is caring with regards to special needs, feeding requirements, etc. Thanks, Tom!”
About: Hi there!! My name is Katie, I pride myself on being punctual, organized, detail oriented and most importantly EXPERIENCED! ! I was formerly the Lead Trainer, Kennel Attendant, Group Class Leader, Groomer, Photographer, Social Media Master and much for a successful Board & Train/ Boarding home in Mesa AZ! I had the opportunity to work with German Sheperds, Mini Doodles, Bull Terriers, Malinios, chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Cattle dogs, Pitbulls and of course the loving Mix Breeds from various shelters and rescues! I “should” be more than able to exceeded your expectations whether your pup just needs a walk around the neighborhood, or you need someone to come watch your baby while you go on a date, I’ll do my best to maintain a relationship with you and your dog so they are excited to see me and you may even get some professional photos! I hope I can offer any services you may need! I am currently working with my boyfriend to build a dog training business! If you would like information on that, I will happily give you access to our Instagram so you can check out our training methods and that side of our business! However, not knowing anyone from the dog community in Washington, I am excited to just be able to meet more Dogs and expand my horizons as a trainer by getting more experience handling even more dogs! That most people don’t think about is being a dog trainer requires you to be an excellent people person and have excellent social skills! I love to be able to continue my experience in this as well. After helping run a board and train facility, I am very adaptable to whatever my clients needs may be! Whether the dog needs special medication, or has difficulty with nail trims I trust in my ability and patience to help owners execute these tasks! There is not been a dog that has been too large or too small for me to dedicate my time and experience too! I make sure that my expectations for my personal dogs are at an appropriate level to be able to assist me with training and perform high-level obedience tasks in public settings. I can communicate clearly with them and be a fair and loving owner.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I newborn, I enjoy their company and giving them love and attention. My priority is to give them a safe nurturing place in the absence of their owners. I work full time at home. With this, I have the flexibility to ensure your pet has a safe loving place to relax and play. Our backyard is not too large but with me working from home, I can walk them to the parks near by and allow them to play outside. My house is fenced in with security gates leading to the outdoors so it’s safe.
“Laree and Keith are lovely people who are clearly very experienced with dogs and love them very much. I feel like my girls are well taken care of there.”
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.
About: All dogs are loved as if they were my own family members. If your dog needs special requirements for care, I will absolutely do my best that they will have everything they need for the best possible stay. Traveling and kennel boarding is stressful for pets and owners, so I aim to help reduce that stress as much as possible by providing a comfortable and loving environment for your dog to stay. A little about myself: 1. Graduated H.S. as a Certified Veterinary Assistant in 2014 2. Graduated college with my associates in Applied Animal Science in 2016 3. Has experience as a Veterinary Assistant/Technician for 3 years as well as caring for dogs since 2010. 4. I do love to make homemade dog treats for pets in my care and will verify at meet and greets about any allergy/diet information for pets. I am a stay at home mother to three children so I'm home a lot to love on your furry companions! They will have unlimited access to the yard and house when I am home with them and only be kenneled at feeding times (to avoid food stealing/food aggression), bedtime and when I have to do a quick errand/take kids to and from school. We live in a lovely neighborhood that is welcoming to all dog breeds! Our yard is fully fenced and our pool is fenced off separately. Meet and greets are mandatory before booking to ensure your pets are comfortable in my home with my dogs and children and go over any special care that they may need. I look forward to providing your pet with a wonderful stay.
“Perfect dog sitter! Very patient and caring with my questions and with my pup. She even had a questionnaire that made her feel more professional and more safe as a dog sitter. I liked that she let me into her home and walked me through what my puppy's day would start like . She sent me videos and photos. She was careful with my pup and mindful. Would recommend to anyone who is a helicopter mom and or has a high energy dog that you'd like to know she is free to roam about on her day care days!”
About: Caring for dogs is something I truly love, and it’s become a big part of my everyday life. I’ve created a home where dogs can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I know being separated from their family can be stressful for some dogs, so I do everything I can to help them settle in, feel at home, and receive the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own pets. I’m home the majority of the day, so dogs get frequent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of companionship throughout their stay. My schedule is flexible and built around the dogs in my care, rather than long stretches away from home. Because I keep my bookings limited, I’m able to give each dog more consistent attention and keep the environment calm and predictable. Drop-off and pick-up times are scheduled in advance so transitions are smooth and low-stress. I’m often booked 8+ weeks in advance, especially during school breaks, summer, and holidays. Repeat families are welcome to check with me about future dates, but new bookings are only held once they are confirmed. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my highest priorities. My home is intentionally set up to provide a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I carefully introduce new dogs at a pace that’s comfortable for them and closely monitor body language and interactions to help everyone feel safe and confident. Dogs have access to the main living areas of my home and a fully fenced backyard with grass, a dog door, and a covered patio for year-round comfort. I’m home most of the day, providing frequent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of companionship. Fresh water is always available, and I keep the environment clean, safe, and low stress. For added peace of mind, every guest wears an AirTag and ID tag while in my care. Meals are separated from active play to help reduce the risk of bloat, medications are given exactly as instructed, and an emergency veterinary hospital is located about 15 minutes away if ever needed. To provide individualized care, I intentionally keep my group sizes small—typically no more than three guest dogs at a time. I thoughtfully consider each dog’s temperament, play style, and comfort before allowing them to interact. I use calm, positive handling and never punishment-based methods. If a dog shows signs of stress or unsafe behavior, they are immediately separated, monitored closely, and their owner is notified.
About: I’ve been an owner of dogs and cats since the early 80’s. I recently had to say goodbye to my much beloved 17 year old dog and this experience has taught me that, with all his needs as a senior dog, I loved him even more. I am retired and have plenty of free time to go for walks and take care of your baby (or babies), including weekdays and weekends. I live in a quiet, over 55 community. There’s a dog park, if that’s something that interests you, or we can take walks around the community.
About: I am a Full Time Dog Mom Ready to Spoil your Pup Like My Own, and has the time to Love & Care While You're Away! I have grown up with dogs in our home since I was a child, and have always loved animals. I currently have 2 dogs now, and have gone through puppy training classes with my basset hound. I am currently not working, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur baby and give them all the special attention. I have a pet friendly home with a big fenced yard. We have 2 dogs, Rey a 4 year old Basset Hound, and Luke is a 8 year old terrier mix. The dogs would be able to cuddle on the couch or run around the yard.
“Chelsea did a great job with our dog elvis! She took the booking last minute and did a great job with taking care if him, she sent us great photos and it looked like he was having a blast! We definitely appreciate it and will use her again in the future”

About: From fostering puppies and caring for senior pets to owning a bird. I’ve done it all! Can administer meds! Will treat your pet like mine! I work from home Wed thru Fridays. Have laptop and WiFi will travel. Weekends are open. Monday and Tuesdays I work 8:30 to 3:30 pm. I have a cat so can’t care in my home right now. Will come to you to make your pets more comfortable in their environment
“It's not easy leaving your beloved fur baby with a stranger, but Al provided a phenomenal degree of consideration and care for our dog. Communication was excellent and honestly I think my dog had the time of his life while in his care. Strongly, highly, greatly recommend!”
About: Growing up, my mom ran a rescue, so I have spent years caring for and training a variety of animals! I love spending time and playing with all of the little furry friends in my life. A few years ago, I started house/dog sitting and I’ve really enjoyed it. Whether you need someone to just pop in to give some love or a dedicated full time dog/cat sitter, I’m your girl! I’m free on the weekends! On weekdays, I do work, but I live close to my job so I easily find time in the morning before 7am and after 6pm to play and take care of your fur baby. Every animal has their own special needs and I am here to meet those needs. If you have specific requests, please just let me know and I am happy to do what is needed to keep your fur baby happy and healthy.
About: One thing to know about me is, I absolutely love people! And Dogs are no. 1 on the list! (goats being a close second.) Just kidding! Dogs are not people BUT they sometimes think they are and their people love them like humans. Therefore, the best way to love people is to love their pets the way they do. 💖 ALL animals are amazing creatures and if it has fur or hair, I want to give it ALL the loves and squish-a-face!! 😂 I am single and no children so it’s just me for some quality one on one time with your dog. I have full life owner and helper experience from puppies to senior care and a host of special needs care in between for a variety of dogs. Friends and family can attest to this knowing I had my Mimzy Princess Puppy for 18 years before she passed last year. After 18 years though, I am enjoying a bit of freedom and am not quite ready for the full time commitment yet. So this is where Rover comes in! ***Please note: Although I can have a flexible schedule, I am unavailable for last minute bookings over Friday nights to Saturday nights. So even though my calendar says I’m available, unless you have made previous appointments with me that book through a weekend, I am unavailable to respond or sit during that time. Thank you for your understanding. 🙏🏼 I am happy to maintain daily routines and habits for those pup parents who desire structure but flexible enough that your pup will be excited to stay home. I have a pretty flexible schedule so making accommodations is easy for me. Let’s talk about your preferences. I’m confident we will find something that works well for us both. I like to see how your pet(s) respond(s) in the space they are most comfortable in when we first meet. This ensures that we are a good fit before any commitment. When pet sitting in your home, I try to keep things clean and respect your routine in your home with your pups. If I am staying for multiple days, I typically try to put all the used towels and bedding in the wash before I leave and make sure your home looks the same when you left, or better! If I notice anything with the dogs that seems abnormal, I will communicate this and if needed, will produce a solution that works for the pet parent. Communication is key!
“Tiffany proved to be an exceptional dog walker for my Moose. She arrived promptly, took Moose on great walks and even got him to hang out with some other pups! I will definitely be using Tiffany in the future!”
“Maria has been amazing with Olive! She’s been very patient getting Olive to warm up and now my dog has a new bestie. I can’t wait to see the report cards and all the cute photos Maria includes after each walk- it’s truly the cutest! She is reliable, responsible, and kind.”
About: To be honest, I don't have any specialize training for pet care. What I know is what I've learned from my own experiences caring for animals. I've always loved animals of all kinds. They're all fascinating, both wild and domestic. My parents didn't allow pets while my sisters were young. Dogs? Nope. "Too big of a responsibility." Cats? No. "The house will smell." Snakes or lizards? Just a flat out "NO!" So I didn't have any pets when we were young except for the earthworms I would dig up in the garden. But, in an indirect way, we did have pets. My sisters and I would feed the stray cats that roamed around our neighborhood. The cats got so used to us that whenever we opened the back door to play we would hear "mew! mew! mew!" followed by a few cats trotting to the back porch to greet us. Sometimes on my walks home from school I would find a lost dog. I'd bring them home and call their owners from my mom's phone in the kitchen. While I waited for the owners to pick up their dog, I would brush their fur with my own hairbrush, give them water in the largest Tupperware I could find, and fed them whatever dinner my mom had made earlier that day before she left for work. I adopted my first dog, Waffles, when she was 11 weeks old in 2012. Then, Oatie was adopted in 2015. He was over a year and a half. I cared for them as well as any other loving and caring pet owner could to the best of their abilities. I've read books on potty training, crate training, and basic commands. I've read books about the specific dog breeds that made up my dogs to gain some foresight of their personalities and health conditions they're genetically predisposed to. We played, walked, hiked, and traveled together. As they've gotten older, especially Waffles, things have slowed down quite a bit. Now I had to learn how to care for two old dogs - one senior, one geriatric. Walks were shortened. Food was modified. Waffles walked wearing a lifting harness to prevent trips and falls. Oatie can still walk without the extra support, but the walks aren't as long as they used to be. Play time doesn't exist anymore. Now they seem to enjoy just being in the middle of their family's life and watching it all happen from the comfort of their orthopedic beds. Eventually daily supplements were added to ease aches, pains, and anxiety senior dogs can develop as well as prescription medication to treat their health conditions. Waffles passed away July 6, 2026. Again, no specialized or formal training in pet care. Just the learning experience I gained from caring for two dogs from their puppy years to their late senior years. I understand the needs of a puppy, adult and senior dog. I'm not afraid to roll around and get dirty with pup or take an easy stroll with a senior. I'm all for it. I’m a stay-at-home mom with two young children who go to school full-time. Your pet(s) and I can go on walks or hang out at a dog park while my kids are in school. I'm a former elementary school teacher. I understand how important consistency and routine is. I will make sure to continue whatever routine you have in place for your pet to keep them feeling safe, secure, and happy. I have two dogs (and two kids) and have witnessed how well they thrive when routines and schedules are in place. I want to extend that and make sure that your pet(s) feels happy and safe when you're not home by providing them their scheduled bathroom breaks, walks, meals, and medications. PLEASE NOTE: Some things I'd like you to keep in mind before booking me: Safety is my top concern for both me and your pet. 1) I WILL NOT provide walks when it is hot outside. As you know the summer can be brutal. Even a short walk can cause physical distress to the pet's health (and our own!) and/or burn their poor paws. Instead, I will either do an in-home drop in visit and provide at least 20-30 minutes of play (or until they don't want to play anymore) or I will take them to a grassy dog park with shade (such as Quail Park Run in Mesa). 2) I can provide walks and drop-in visits Monday-Wednesday, and Fridays between 8:30am-2:30pm while my kids are in school. 3) Your pet MUST be up to date on their vaccines. Please email me a copy or picture of their vaccine receipt. 4) If your pet is the type of breed that needs at least 30 minutes or an hour of rigorous walks, runs or hikes, I may not be the best person for you. I am an OUT OF SHAPE mom. If, for some reason, you want me to be the one walking your dog, I'll do it the best I can. Your dog will probably be pulling me on my bike or while I sit in my kids' Radio Flyer wagon if it gets the job done. I've also seen Cesar Millan put a backpack with rocks on a dog to exercise them. If that's a method you don't mind me using I can do that. Whatever gets the job done.

About: I have been in the veterinary profession for over 20 years! I Started off caring for animals at a young age. I have been riding and caring for horses since I was 5. My career started in a veterinary hospital boarding facility in Illinois, feeding dogs/cats, walking them, cleaning up after them and then I went to school to become a certified veterinary technician and graduated in 2009 with an associates degree in veterinary technician. I moved out to Arizona 15 have been working as a Certified Veterinary Technician since! I started pet sitting for my clients and fell in love caring for other peoples pets. I have 1 dog, a Goldendoodle named Shirley Temple and two horses! I live in east Mesa and have two older brothers and an older sister. We all have grown up with animals and consider them a part of the family! My whole life revolves around dogs and animals. As a CVT my career does as well. I am very good with dog behavior and needs. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly Goldendoodle that loves to play. She socializes at daycare when I’m teaching. She will be 2 in May.
“Aja was great with my lab/pit mix! She came over for a meet and greet before the first scheduled walk and he took right to her. Loved getting pictures of them on a walk together ?!”
About: Hi! My name is Lucy, and I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember. Caring for pets has always come naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, I love making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved while their family is away. I’ve been dog sitting since I was a kid, caring for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family. Throughout the years, I’ve become known as the calm, patient, and caring person that both pets and their owners can rely on. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or a senior who needs extra attention, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m deeply committed to education, and that dedication has helped me develop strong responsibility, organization, and communication skills. Adding on to that, I also have experience as a summer camp counselor which has taught me how to be attentive, extremely adaptable, and compassionate while meeting each individual’s unique needs. Communication is one of my highest priorities. I know how reassuring it is to know your furry family member is happy and doing well while you’re away, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and messages to keep you connected and give you peace of mind. I’m happy to provide: * Daily walks and plenty of exercise * Playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection * Fresh food and water according to your pet’s routine * Medication administration when needed * Care for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets * Overnight stays and companionship * Regular potty breaks * Frequent photo and video updates * Reliable communication before, during, and after every booking I treat every pet as if they were my own and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. My goal is to make their time away from you as stress-free, fun, and comforting as possible while giving you confidence that they’re in caring, capable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I’m currently continuing my education online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for pets throughout the day. I don’t have much conflict on a weekly basis and will be able to direct more attention to your beloved pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have one friendly small dog at home, and if your pet is more comfortable having their own space, I have a the ability to safely separate them when needed. I also have the ability to crate your dog if that is part of their routine. My home also has a secure, medium-sized fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and I live in a neighborhood with great walking paths. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and any instructions you provide to help them feel as comfortable and at home as possible.
“Jessica did an amazing job walking duke this morning before his grooming appointment. She gave us an update on how he did on the walk and even sent us some pictures. He came home happy, tired and ready to go to the groomers. I definitely recommend her and plan to book with her again here soon. Thanks Jessica!”

“Christi was amazing to work with. It’s clear she loves dogs and wants to make sure your pup has a good experience. She took wonderful care of my dog and went above and beyond when we thought Willow might have a UTI. My dog came home happy and tired. :) I will absolutely use her again!”
“Carolyn did a great job taking care of our puppy while we went out of town. She had excellent communication including pictures and videos too. Will use her again in the future.”

“Heidi is wonderful! Our 2 boys were well cared for and very active while in her care. She sent frequent updates with pictures and videos. It was wonderful to get away for a short family trip knowing our other family members were also having some fun. Thank you again to Heidi and her family for being so patient and kind with our dogs.”
“I would highly recommend Curtis and his family. I was nervous about leaving my dogs for 16 days, but after receiving daily photos and texts I could tell they were in good hands! Thank you for taking good care of my boys.”
“Andrea was amazing! She took such great care of our Luna and kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind.

We will definitely be booking with Andrea again, especially if you’re looking for someone who provides individualized care for your dog. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter and Jessica was great! She responded to my messages timely and sent pictures. Also, Lilly came home exhausted from playing with the other dogs. We would definitely have Jessica take care of Lilly again.”
“Erin & James are hands down the best pupsitters that I’ve ever had. My little girl is very anxious and change is hard for her. Erin & James have such a comfortable and loving home and it was so evident how much they cared about Stevie’s comfort and well being while she was with them. They provided daily updates & pictures which meant so much to me. I highly, highly recommend them.”

“Tasha and her family are very loving and kind with our dog. They are extremely responsible and patient with our Hana, who enjoys staying with Tasha and her family. I highly recommend Tasha! She is great!”
“Veronica was amazing. She took great care of our dog Birdie while we were out of town. She made us feel super comfortable and provided excellent care of our pup. She kept us updated everyday we were gone and even monitored our dogs eating habits as she gets a little anxious when we are away. She went above and beyond to make sure us and our dog were comfortable and we really appreciate her. We will definitely be using her again next time we go out of town.”
“I can’t recommend Sarah & Joshua highly enough! They cared for our 3 year old mini schnauzer, Annie, for 10 days, and from the moment we dropped her off until we picked her up, I knew Annie was in the best hands. They were incredible about communicating and sent so many photos and updates that we never had to wonder how Annie was doing. It made it so much easier to enjoy our trip knowing she was so well cared for. Their kids were absolutely adorable with Annie, and her two dogs welcomed her like part of the family. It was obvious Annie felt safe, loved, and completely at home. When we picked her up, she was calm, relaxed, and genuinely happy—a true sign of how comfortable she had been during her stay. Finding someone you trust with your dog is priceless, and we feel so lucky to have found them. We will absolutely book with them again and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, and loving pet sitter. Thank you for treating Annie like one of your own!”
