Highly-rated overnight sitters - Nelson
“Sydny and Atiana took amazing care of our dog! Sent lots of pictures and she looked happy in every photo. We were gone for a week and did not have any worries while away from her. We will continue to book with them for future needs.”
“Michelle and her husband are wonderful. They helped me out in a pinch and more importantly, they are very responsible and caring dog handlers. They are great people and I felt very comfortable with them taking good care of my little guy.”
“Lauren did an excellent job with my dog, she communicated very well regarding his daily activities and sent pictures. She even got him to eat while I was away which he normally doesn't do. Her apt was clean and dog friendly. Would re-book again.”
“Our energetic 2 year old Golden Doodle just spent 5 glorious days with Lara and her family. Lara sent MANY photos and videos and it was clear that Clancy was having a wonderful time. He had never seen a horse before but learned to walk alongside one and also alongside their buggy pulled by a miniature horse! Going to Lara’s is like sending your dog to a 5 star resort. (I kind of wanted to stay at their beautiful home and property myself!) It was a comfort to know that Clancy was well cared for. I cannot recommend Lara enough! Clancy will be going back!”
“Kaitlin is an amazing sitter, was in peace leaving my puppy for a weekend with her. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again. She knows how to take care of animals and its shows that she loves doing it with her husband and 2 own dogs.”
“We had no complaints at all. She was very responsive throughout Bronco’s stay and kept us informed, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We especially appreciated that she followed up a couple of days after we picked him up to see how he was doing. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We would happily book with her again.”
“Leslie was really great with my 2 fur babies. They were well taken care of and loved on. She did a great job sending me updates with very cute pictures! If I need a dog sitter I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Christie and Daniel were the perfect fit for our 6-mo old pup! Christie’s at home schedule and the family’s familiarity with dogs made us feel comfortable leaving our little girl for the first time for 10-days. She came home, happy, healthy, and cleaner than when we dropped her off! They were also great at communicating, sending photos almost daily. I loved that our pup had lots of socialization with other dogs and kids during her stay too!”
“Seth, Connie and their girls were amazing and treated our boys as family. They went on multiple daily walks and provided updates throughout the stay. We will happily book with them again. Thanks!”
“Our dog loves Beth. He is so happy when we drop him off and when we pick him up. We appreciate Beth's flexibility and responsiveness. She is great sending updates and pictures. We have been coming to Beth several times.”

“Thank you for taking great care of Presley during our vacation. She enjoyed her time and we felt she was in great hands and enjoyed getting updates on her staycation here in Tucson.”
“This was Romeo’s first visit to Rich & Jeanette’s home. Romeo is anxious when I leave him but I could tell how happy and safe he felt there and had plenty of fun, too. I enjoyed my trip so much more knowing Romeo was ok. Rich and Jeanette are really wonderful dog caregivers.”
“Jess and her family took great care for Sophie She sent pictures everyday and let me know how things were going. I highly recommend Jess and will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“Brynna B. delivered an outstanding experience from start to finish! Her exceptional communication and thoughtful updates instantly put my mind at ease. She consistently shared the sweetest messages and adorable photos of my Charlie girl, who truly seemed to be living her best life—enjoying long walks, playtime, and all the love she could wish for. It truly felt like a retreat vacation for Charlie! Brynna’s dog, Banks, was the perfect playmate for her. As a social pup, Charlie thrived having a new friend to frolic with, and it warmed my heart to see how well they bonded. Brynna’s attention to detail, kindness, and genuine care went above and beyond my expectations. I couldn’t imagine a better experience for either of us. Without a doubt, I’ll be rebooking Brynna in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Choosing Brynna means peace of mind for you and pure joy for your pet—truly a 10/10 experience!”
“Kat took excellent care of my little Reina. I received updates on her quite frequently. Reina was taken on several walks and appeared to get a long well with Kat’s small pups. Thank you for all the care!”
“My dogs came back happy and relaxed after their stay. Elizabeth has a really nice home, yard, and family, and my dogs would be thrilled to return any time. Plus it's in the NW on the way to Phoenix and the airport in PHX, so it is the perfect location when I travel. ”

Cat caregivers near you - Nelson
“Sydney is awesome! Very professional and communicative. Her friendly and bubbly personality is infectious! I never worried about my cat and hope to have her again. I highly recommend her!”
“The cats seemed happier and less stressed this trip. Appreciated extra help with bringing in a package and garbage can without being asked. She sent pictures of all 3 kittys in some of their favorite but hard to find hiding places, even under our bed. Instead of leaving the keys under the front door mat where someone might find them before we got home, she messaged me she'll drop them off when we're home. I would highly recommend Kylee if you're looking for someone who gives the best pet care but who also cares about things not necessarily expected of her.”
“Lauren was so great with Tuna and very accommodating! My sitter went MIA when I showed up to drop Tuna off, so I needed a last minute Rover and Lauren answered my request right away - The rest is history and I couldn’t haven been happier with my choice for a sitter for Tuna! My cat was well taken care of and her dog, Millie, was sweet with Tuna. Would highly recommend!!”
“Jennifer goes above and beyond with every visit, not just doing her duties but making sure our pets are happy, safe and healthy. She's also so helpful with any other requests we gave. Amazing job!”
About: I’ve had English bulldogs for 10 years. I haven’t met a dog I didn’t love. I can administer most meds with instructions. I’ll care for your dog as if it were my own and she’s spoiled! I work full-time but mostly remote, so I’m home a lot. I can ensure your dog’s needs are met on a daily basis, they’re the best companions. I have a fenced yard and a small area with turf for potty breaks. I live near a dog park and can take them there, weather permitting. I consider dogs a part of the household so they’re allowed everywhere but I’ll also follow your lead if you have specific instructions.
About: Cats have a way of making you earn their trust—and we’re perfectly happy to let them set the pace. As a mother-daughter pet care team, we provide dependable, in-home care that allows your cat to stay where they’re most comfortable: in their own home, surrounded by their familiar smells, favorite hiding spots, and normal routine. We’re comfortable caring for cats of all ages and personalities, from playful kittens and social attention-seekers to independent seniors and shy cats who prefer to observe us from across the room. We understand that great cat care isn’t about forcing interaction. It’s about learning their personality, respecting their boundaries, and giving them the kind of attention they actually enjoy. During visits, we can handle feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, medications, and the little details that keep your cat’s routine consistent. We’re also comfortable administering both oral and injectable medications and following detailed care instructions for senior cats or pets with additional needs. Communication is a big priority for us. You’ll receive plenty of photos and updates so you know how your cat is eating, behaving, and spending their time while you’re away. And yes—we’ll happily send you photographic evidence when the cat who supposedly “doesn’t like strangers” decides we’re acceptable. My mom primarily handles overnight stays, while I focus on drop-ins and daytime care, giving us flexibility to accommodate different schedules and routines. Whether your cat greets us at the door, demands immediate lap privileges, or spends the first three visits judging us from underneath the bed, they’ll receive patient, attentive care at their own pace. We’d love to meet your favorite little house lion!
“Sky was absolutely amazing with my 3 cats. They loved her! She sent pictures and updates at every visit and always arrived in a timely manner for my kitties. Communication was amazing and I will definitely be rebooking Sky in the future.”
“Kate & Tim were wonderful with our 17 year old cat while we were away. They were able to work with his special meals and medications. They were very prompt with their twice daily visits and soon became friends with our timid cat. I would highly recommend them!”
“Ginger T and Bryan O did a terrific job doing drop-on visits for our cat, George! Because of them, we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our baby boy was in good hands! Tom & Cece”
“Marina was so good with Ridge! I really appreciate the extra care and attention she put into the service, giving him walks, playtime and cuddles. She also was very diligent with the bites about his eating and bathroom habits - and provided lots of cute photos! I really felt peace of mind knowing our doggy was in such good hands.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Nelson
“Leslie was great with our 7 month old lab. She provided post-surgery care and made sure Sadie didn’t harm her stitches. She took her out for plenty of walks, shared lots of pictures, and was very thorough. Sadie was exhausted every night from playing and walking. I would highly recommend Leslie and will certainly use her services again in the future.”
About: I am Deaf and rely on ASL to communicate. I am an expert at reading body language both in people & animals. I've grown up with many different animals, mostly dogs. I had my own dog starting at age 8. I've taken care of dogs personally and professionally since then. I'd go dogsit neighbors' dogs at their houses and have family/friends' dogs at my house. I walked dogs for two years before COVID happened. I am a work-at-home mom with three kids (9 years old to an infant) and two pups. I am available on weekdays, weekends, days & nights! We are huge pet lovers here. I have three kids to keep your pets stimulated and busy. I also have a fenced yard and a two-story house. We also live close to a dog park if you've taken your dogs to a dog park and are comfortable with me doing so. I have two dogs to play with your dogs. We enjoy going on walks early in the morning and after dinner, so we will bring your dog along! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I will adjust my schedule to fit your pup's routine! Either my partner, Alex, and I or both are always home so the dogs are almost never on their own. I can bring my work with me wherever the dogs are, inside & outside. I have a fenced backyard, baby gates throughout the house, a storm door on the front door, several crates (medium & large), and a quiet & safe room upstairs if your pup needs some space. I have a lot of dog toys all around the house, blankets, treats, outdoor activities, etc to help your pup feel safe and comfortable here. I care for many anxious & nervous dogs, so I am well aware of their body language and know exactly what it is they need. If you ask my previous clients, they'd tell you that their anxious dogs warm up to me pretty quickly!
“Milo had a fantastic day with Milo! Lauren sent pics and kept us updated throughout the stay. I was running late for pickup and she was able to flex the end time for me a bit that was so helpful. Highly recommended.”
“My pups had such a great day with Christine and Daniel’s! They are nice people and communicative. My dogs came home happy, worn out and went to bed early. Happy I found them!”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life, and they truly hold a special place in my heart. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their beloved pups for years because they know every dog who stays with us is treated like part of our family. I took a break from pet sitting for a while, but I'm happy to share that I'm now open again and excited to welcome new furry friends into our home! My husband and I both work from home, so your pup will enjoy plenty of love, attention, companionship, and playtime throughout the day—they'll never be left alone. While I'm new to Rover, I'm certainly not new to providing safe, dependable, and loving care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Our home features a fully fenced yard and a secure dog run where your pup can safely explore, play, and burn off energy. We have plenty of activities to keep tails wagging, and for dogs who enjoy socializing, there are friendly playmates to spend time with as well. I know how important it is to feel connected while you're away, so I'm happy to send photos and updates, giving you peace of mind and letting you see how much fun your pup is having. We also have one gentle, mellow cat who gets along wonderfully with dogs, but if your furry family member would be more comfortable without feline company, she can easily stay in her own area. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving, and happy home away from home where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and truly loved. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! I am home all day with your fur baby. So I am available to care and be with our baby all day. They will be loved and spoiled! Your baby will get to play all day, have breaks, eat on your schedule. Please provide their food and any snacks you wish them to have.
About: I’ve been a dog owner my whole life. We’ve recently relocated for my husbands job and I can officially stay home. My dog is friendly and gets along with any dog! I would love for him to get to play with others while I get to help others as I know finding pet care can be hard! I’m a mom of two school-aged kiddos! Aside from our quick 10-minute school drop-off and pick-up, along with the occasional errand, I’ll be home with your pups for the majority of the day. They’ll get lots of love, attention, and companionship while they’re in my care! I have a fenced-in yard and a spacious two-story home, making it a great fit for dogs of all sizes, including larger breeds. I also have an extremely friendly dog who is older but still loves to play! If needed, I’m more than happy to keep the dogs separated to make sure everyone is comfortable and happy.
“Felt very safe leaving Zarina with her. She was very communicative and patient with me. As an out of towner my guesses of how long everything would take was a bit off. lol traffic! I will use her again!”
About: I have always been a pet owner, volunteered at no-kill shelters for many years, and have worked with many sick AND healthy dogs over my years as a veterinary assistant! I am a hard-worker in and out of school and will ensure that you feel that your pets are in the best hands! I am no stranger to animal care and I will use my three years of experience to ensure that you receive the best care possible! I am currently a Veterinary Science major studying at the U of A! I try to be as up front about my class schedules as I can as being a student is a huge part of who I am! I want to have the most experience possible with a variety of companion animals as I work towards my goal of becoming a veterinarian. Before coming to the UA, I had a full time job at an amazing clinic where I learned so much more in depth animal care! I am all about pet safety and I am a very hypervigilant pet sitter/walker as I only want what is best for my clients! I am able to watch pups outside if predators are a concern or obstacles like a swimming pool. Happy clients and pets are of utmost importance and I provide daily pictures/videos of pets to ensure that owners feel at ease! I also require meet and greets before bookings because I love to get to know you and your pet a little more and ensure that we are a good fit!
“Very positive experience for us and the pups. Great environment for both physical and mental stimulation for the pups. Lara clearly a knowledgeable and caring dog and animal lover. Lara kept us in the loop with pictures and commentary throughout the day. You can’t go wrong with Lara and family watching over your pups.”
“Amber absolutely loves going over to have a fun day with her besties at Adria’s house! Amber is a very shy dog, so I know she truly loves it there because every time I drop her off, she runs out of my car, her tail is wagging like crazy, and she is always so happy and excited to willingly run right into the house. That alone gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s somewhere she feels comfortable and safe. Adria is such a wonderful dog lover and is incredibly reliable, caring, and trustworthy. I always feel completely comfortable leaving Amber with her while I’m at work because I know she’s getting so much love, attention, and care. I couldn’t recommend Adria enough; she is truly amazing. 100/10! 🐾❤️”
“I initially felt very guilty for leaving Blue with Liz . Felt like I was a bad mom until Blue woke me up every morning with excitement and running to the garage. He LOVES being there and I know Liz and her family loves him too. I cannot recommend Liz enough! But maybe I shouldn't coz she might be over booked! Lol!”
“We have a French bull dog that is 8 months old .. We just found Carol .. she is wonderful!! Our dog had a great time .. she has two French bull dogs that are the nicest, loveable frenchies❤️ Carols house is very secure and she loves dogs.. She has several water stations set up .. She sent us random pics thru out the day .. I would definitely use her again.. In fact we’re already booked !!”
About: I’ve been a dog sitter and walker for over a decade and have been training for the past 6 years! I’ve owned dogs all my life and started dog walking from an early age just to be around dogs. I have prioritized my education to ensure you have absolutely no worries if your canine friends are in my care. I am reliable, educated and competent when it comes to your dogs. I’m experience in first aid and nutrition. I prioritize structured fun! I work a swing shift that allows me ample time for morning training and exercise, which is absolutely necessary for this AZ heat! I also am happy to work weekends and holidays. In your home I follow your direction right down to the letter. I absolutely don’t want to stray from tradition as dogs thrive with a solid routine. The only thing that will change for them is the face. I currently work part time and have ample time to provide to your dogs! I prioritize fun and education with my own dogs, and would love to provide that for yours. I love early mornings and late evenings to escape the heat, and I work weekends and holidays. I provide excellent care following the dogs normal routine. I will of course add some extra pets or playtime (it’s a staycation for them), but I ensure all instructions are followed to give them the best time.
“Yaneli did a marvelous job keeping our Athena active & happy. Athena enjoyed playing with Yaneli’s dog & being out for an extensive hike. Yaneli really went above & beyond in making sure Athena was exercised & entertained!!!!”
About: With 16 years of hands-on experience in pet care and training, I’ve honed a deep understanding of animal behavior, needs, and communication. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide variety of pets—from playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets requiring extra attention. My approach combines patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, ensuring that pets feel safe, loved, and well-behaved. Whether it’s daily care, specialized training, or addressing behavioral challenges, I bring both skill and heart to every pet I care for. I'm currently working part time so I have loads of extra time to care for, train, and love on all of your furry family members. I have an enclosed backyard with one well-trained medium sized dog. He gets along well with most dogs, but can easily be separated if needed.
About: I treat every dog like they're part of my own family. I'm patient, dependable, and pay close attention to each dog's unique personality and routine. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, a senior needing extra care, or a young dog still learning, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work from home, which allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and it helps create a calm, positive balance in my daily routine. I provide a safe, loving environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel at home while their owners are away. My flexible schedule allows me to give each pet the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. I enjoy daily afternoon walks, providing dogs with exercise, fresh air, and companionship. I will provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I will follow their routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I like to make pets feel loved, safe, and respected. I enjoy building a bond with each pet so they can feel comfortable, adjust quickly, and feel at home in my care.

About: Animals have been part of our lives for as long as we can remember, and caring for them is something we genuinely love. As a mother-daughter team, we combine years of hands-on animal experience with flexible scheduling to give your pets dependable, personalized care right in the comfort of their own home. Our experience covers just about every age, size, and personality. From puppies and high-energy dogs to large breeds and seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra attention, we’re comfortable adapting our care to what makes your pet happiest. We also have experience administering both oral and injectable medications and are comfortable following detailed routines and special-care instructions. I have four dogs of my own—a mixed-breed pack of different ages—and currently care for a senior dog as well. I’ve also raised several litters of puppies, giving me plenty of experience with the patience, supervision, and consistency young dogs require. Before pet sitting, I worked as a preschool teacher, so patience and staying calm when things get a little chaotic come naturally! My mom brings a lifetime of animal experience of her own. She has cared for everything from dogs and cats to horses, cattle, rats, and other animals. She primarily handles our overnight stays, while I focus on drop-ins and daytime care, allowing us to offer more flexibility to the families we work with. We know leaving your pets—and your home—in someone else’s hands requires trust. Communication is a huge priority for us, so expect plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away. We want you to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, loved, and being cared for according to the routine they already know. Whether your best friend is 5 pounds or 100+, young and wild or enjoying their golden years, we’d love to meet them! I run a business from home so I have super flexible hours and availability to tend to any and all care needs. Your pet will be my priority. I prefer to care for the pets in their own home and familiar areas. I find this gives them a good sense that nothing is changing and reduces stress for the animal. I am very familiar with crates and crate trained animals. I pay close attention to instructions given for food and medications. I will spend time with them not just drop by for 5 minutes, giving love, attention, exercise(if permitted).
“We are so pleased with Jennifer’s work ethic and communication. There were a few glitches on our side, she gladly worked with us. We will definitely use her again for our dog, and our family dogs.”

I’ve raised several litters of labradors, I had a horse ranch for 15 1/2 years, we had six dogs and six cats and 20 horses on the ranch. I had to train the dogs and my barn cat to be around horses, so they wouldn’t get kicked or stepped on. I am retired, so I am pretty flexible for morning visits or walking, also afternoon visits are walking. I can board at my house if needed, I have 5 acres, all fenced, so plenty of room to run if you’d like to bring your pups to the house. I have two very friendly dogs, also two different size crates if they’re needed.

About: Hello! I am a pet lover who grew up with Boston terriers for 20+ years. I also grew up working with dogs (Border Collies) on ranches, working side by side on various tasks. Because of my experience and comfort with dogs, I have been dog-sitting for friends and family my whole life. I have some experience caring for cats, including my sisters' and friends' cats (5+ years). I am very active and can exercise or entertain your pet with play or runs. I have rarely met a dog I couldn't build trust with. I am working a full-time position at the University of Arizona. I am free from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m., 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays. I have full availability on weekends. I ensure to follow all the rules the pet owner has established. I will use commands and language the dog is familiar with to avoid confusion. I make sure the pets are exercised 2-3 times a day. Cleaned and brushed if needed. I am mindful of water intake and make sure that all pets are kept on their usual schedule.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals through out my life, from cats and dogs, to raising animals on a farm. I enjoy being around animals and look forward to meeting yours! Im not currently working and I am available anytime to watch your fur babies. Morning, afternoon and evenings. Over night stays as well if needed. Communication is a priority and I will provide frequent updates with photos/videos. This has allowed my clients to see first hand how safe, comfortable, and secure their pets feel in my care. My clients often express their peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, understood, and well cared for while away
About: Hi, my name is Emily! I’ve grown up owning both dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like I would my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a full-time online student, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. I enjoy babysitting and going to the gym, but outside of that my time is very open, allowing me to focus on walks, drop-ins, playtime, and quality care for your pets. Because of my flexibility, I’m able to stick closely to your pet’s routine and give them the attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live in a calm home with my sister, her boyfriend, and another roommate, who are all firefighters and often gone for 24 hour shifts, so the house stays very quiet during the day. As a full time online student, I am home most of the time and able to give pets lots of attention, supervision, and consistent care. I always follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, walks, and any instructions closely to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable.
About: I have over six years of hands-on experience caring for horses, dogs, and a variety of other animals. I previously lived and worked on a horse ranch, where I helped care for up to 27 horses while also providing dog sitting services for the ranch owner. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience boarding dogs in my home, providing drop-in visits, house sitting, and caring for farm animals. I am comfortable feeding, watering, cleaning stalls, pens, and enclosures, and making sure every animal receives the attention and care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a spacious, clean, and safe environment where your pets will be treated like family. Whether your companion enjoys playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and relaxing atmosphere, I'll make sure they feel loved and well cared for while you're away. I genuinely enjoy working with animals of all kinds and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered or hoofed!) family members. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you for considering me to care for your pets! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, walks, house sitting, or farm animal care, I'm committed to following their routine and giving them the attention they deserve. I understand that every pet is unique, and I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet and follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable while you're away, so I provide plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and potty breaks. I also respect your home and will leave it just as I found it.

“Sydny and Atiana took amazing care of our dog! Sent lots of pictures and she looked happy in every photo. We were gone for a week and did not have any worries while away from her. We will continue to book with them for future needs.”
“Michelle and her husband are wonderful. They helped me out in a pinch and more importantly, they are very responsible and caring dog handlers. They are great people and I felt very comfortable with them taking good care of my little guy.”
“Lauren did an excellent job with my dog, she communicated very well regarding his daily activities and sent pictures. She even got him to eat while I was away which he normally doesn't do. Her apt was clean and dog friendly. Would re-book again.”
“Our energetic 2 year old Golden Doodle just spent 5 glorious days with Lara and her family. Lara sent MANY photos and videos and it was clear that Clancy was having a wonderful time. He had never seen a horse before but learned to walk alongside one and also alongside their buggy pulled by a miniature horse! Going to Lara’s is like sending your dog to a 5 star resort. (I kind of wanted to stay at their beautiful home and property myself!) It was a comfort to know that Clancy was well cared for. I cannot recommend Lara enough! Clancy will be going back!”
“Kaitlin is an amazing sitter, was in peace leaving my puppy for a weekend with her. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again. She knows how to take care of animals and its shows that she loves doing it with her husband and 2 own dogs.”
“We had no complaints at all. She was very responsive throughout Bronco’s stay and kept us informed, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We especially appreciated that she followed up a couple of days after we picked him up to see how he was doing. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We would happily book with her again.”
“Leslie was really great with my 2 fur babies. They were well taken care of and loved on. She did a great job sending me updates with very cute pictures! If I need a dog sitter I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Christie and Daniel were the perfect fit for our 6-mo old pup! Christie’s at home schedule and the family’s familiarity with dogs made us feel comfortable leaving our little girl for the first time for 10-days. She came home, happy, healthy, and cleaner than when we dropped her off! They were also great at communicating, sending photos almost daily. I loved that our pup had lots of socialization with other dogs and kids during her stay too!”
“Seth, Connie and their girls were amazing and treated our boys as family. They went on multiple daily walks and provided updates throughout the stay. We will happily book with them again. Thanks!”
“My dogs came back happy and relaxed after their stay. Elizabeth has a really nice home, yard, and family, and my dogs would be thrilled to return any time. Plus it's in the NW on the way to Phoenix and the airport in PHX, so it is the perfect location when I travel. ”
“An amazing sitter that’s really takes the time to learn and love your dog. She observes and teaches you things that even you may miss about your dog. Gives updates with many detail to put you at ease while away from your pup and she really makes your dog feel like family. Highly Recommend”
About: I’ve had English bulldogs for 10 years. I haven’t met a dog I didn’t love. I can administer most meds with instructions. I’ll care for your dog as if it were my own and she’s spoiled! I work full-time but mostly remote, so I’m home a lot. I can ensure your dog’s needs are met on a daily basis, they’re the best companions. I have a fenced yard and a small area with turf for potty breaks. I live near a dog park and can take them there, weather permitting. I consider dogs a part of the household so they’re allowed everywhere but I’ll also follow your lead if you have specific instructions.
“Winston is a blue heeler who still has the energy he had when he was a puppy! Patricia and John took such good care of Winston he got plenty of play time & enjoyed their pool. They were even flexible with the pickup time when something last minute came up. Will definitely book again!”
