“Mitchell took excellent care of my dog, Nabi, and it was clear that she had a wonderful time with him. I knew she was in good hands, but I especially appreciated the photo and video updates while I was away. Seeing how happy and well cared for she was gave me a great deal of peace of mind. I would absolutely book with Mitchell again without hesitation!”
“This is the 2nd time I have used Ash to take care of my dog and she has been wonderful and flexible!! She really cares about my dog and his well being - I can’t thank her enough!”
“Amazing and humble service! Received photos and videos everyday of my pup having fun. Instant messages back and forth. Felt super comfortable with Zinnia and will hope to use her in the future!”
“I can’t say enough good things about the care my dog, Mac, received this past week. They treated him like their own — tons of love, attention, and updates that made me feel completely at ease. It’s such a relief knowing he was in a safe, happy environment while I was away. I’m really grateful for how attentive and patient they were with him. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Monica was an A+ dog sitter for our girl Remi. We are always a little nervous when we leave her for more than one overnight and Monica had her for 5 days and we were never worried, our mind was at ease the whole time! Monica was always quick to respond, sent us daily updates, sometimes morning and night. I love that our dog is welcome in her home because Remi loves to snuggle and sleep on your pillow! Also, love the big backyard where she can run around leisurely and socialize with other friendly dogs. She was so wore out and content when we picked her up from all the playtime. I would highly recommend Monica, and can’t wait to book her again for our next outing!”
“Brooklyn had another great stay with you Ezra! It is so reassuring to know that she is so happy & well taken care of when I am away! I knew when I dropped her off & she didn’t even look back at me that she had a good experience & good memories of her last stay 3 months ago! Thank you for everything!! Kathy”
“She took amazing care of my dogs! I really appreciated the regular updates and pictures while I was away, and my dogs came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Reunited + iT Feels So Good! When I turned the corner onto Susan's street for our 2nd visit, my BLESSing, Mr. B., was EXCITED beyond words + couldn't wait to exit our SUV to run to Susan's building + her. Five months later + he recalled the exact door to enter her building. The purest FEELINGS ever for a parent when dropping off their furbaby! Susan + Justin are the kindest + sweetest JOYFUL caregivers who've fruitfully opened their lives + home to care for others' babies. They've thought of every LOVING detail + LOVE on my furbaby as if he's their very own Tater-Tot. To express I'm GRATEFUL for their passion, as illustrated in every shared conversation, detail, + photo, is an understatement. Whatever questions you may have about caring for your furbaby, don't hesitate to ask Susan; she's happy to share her in-depth knowledge. Another Perk: Chatting iT up about Southern CaLi + The Chi! ;) 1st Visit: Susan trimmed my baby's nails 2nd Visit: Shared Tater-Tot's shoes + lead Every Visit: My baby experiences LOVE as if he's with his favorite Auntie + Uncle. We LOVE U 3, Gifts from Heaven! Turner + Mr. B ;)”
“Marina was absolutely WONDERFUL. She sent me updates on Benji every morning, noon and in the evening! Benji got along with her pups and he looked very happy! We were a little late picking him up but Marina understood completely. We would definitely book with Marina again for our boarding needs!!”
“Fanny was absolutely awesome with my puppy Poet! I had to find a quick solution as a serious matter came up and Fanny stepped right in to help. My puppy loved being there and couldn’t get enough of the love he was receiving. Definitely will be back!”
“Kobe enjoyed his 10 day stay with Lauren. He almost didn’t even want to come home. She was able to answer any questions if I had any while he was there. Kobe will definitely be back soon.”
“Very good eith LaVysh. Loved how she kept in touch and sent pics. I think LaVysh enjoyed herself with the other dogs. She is still adjusting to getting back home and not being herself but that may be bc she has never been away from us at all and for days but she’s starting to get back to herself. Appreciated StacyAnn’s efforts and ability to work with us to pick her up due to an unexpected car issue we had.”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs for more than 30 years. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs, and I treat every pet in our care like part of the family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply providing a safe and comfortable place to relax, your dog will receive plenty of attention, patience, and love while they’re with me. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into our my daily routine. I have flexible schedules and plenty of time to give your dog the attention, playtime, walks, and companionship they need. I enjoy having dogs around and will make sure your pup feels comfortable, loved, and included while in my care. I have a large fenced in yard to allow your dog plenty of space to play and get outside fun in. I will provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home where your dog will be treated like part of the family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and we will follow your care instructions closely.

“Megan and Paulo did a last-minute sit for me and were so wonderful! Yeti was well taken care of, and had a great time in their care. I recommend them for anyone in the Phoenix area, looking for a pet sitter for their fur baby!”
“I’m very grateful to Cindy who took care of Nala for this week. From day one, she kept me completely at ease by sending daily photos and videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It’s clear that she treated Nala with great care and affection, as if she were her own. Nala looked happy, well cared for, and in excellent hands the entire time. I would definitely recommend her and would trust her again without hesitation in the future.”
“Paris had a good time with Connie. We got pictures of Paris while away from her. Connie responded right away too. So happy with Connie’s service. For sure we will be a repeat client.”
“Great experience working with Evelyn. She responded quickly and was very flexible in working within our shifting scheduling requests. We are new to the area and a little concerned how our Nala would respond to yet another change but Evelyn and her cat were able to quickly make her feel right at home and had her playing in no time. Wouldn't hesitate schedule with her again in the future!”
“My pups love staying with Haniyeh! They always come home happy and tired. She is great with keeping us updated on how they’re doing as well as sending pictures. Thanks so much!”

“Nicole did a great job looking after our kitties. She always arrived on time & paid attention to what each kitty needed. We’ll definitely continue to book with Nicole!”

“Gigi was an absolute lifesaver and cared for our kitty for almost a month better than I could have imagined! I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to feel at ease when traveling.”
“First time to Rover - Evelyn created an amazing experience for our cats while we were away. The drop-in service worked great. Evelyn stopped in daily, gave them their "treat" food, and plenty of attention. Using Evelyn gave me confidence to enjoy our trip and our return.”
“Jasmine was so easy to work with and kept me informed each day. I loved that she has a rescued feral cat too, so she gets my mistrusting kitty! I will definitely use her again!”
“Christine is a great sitter for my baby! She has watched him multiple times now, always reliable and goes above and beyond. I can rest easy knowing my kitty is is in good hands!”
“I'm so happy that Rosa could check in on our cats! With a new kitten we weren't sure what shenanigans the kitten would get up to, but I could tell she loved having Rosa stop by and entertain her.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I wasn't exactly sure if I was going to like it. We've always used friends or doggie day care type things. But after this I will never use anything except for Rover, and more so, Aayla! She was incredible! Very detailed, courteous, kind, and most importantly she was perfectly professional!!! Fantastic communicator and very loving with my two large dogs! When we got home our house was clean and the dogs were happy! I will be recommending Aayla to all of my friends and family who travel and have pet sitters. What a great experience and thank you, Aayla for your care and professionalism!”
“I’ve booked with Emma twice now and she has taken great care of my 2 cats. In addition to feeding them, making sure waters were full, and tending to the litter boxes, she gave them extra attention and playtime while I was away. I will be booking her again in the future.”
About: I have grown up with pets of all shapes and sizes all my life. I helped raise a few puppies myself as well. I'm usually all my friends go to person to house sit and take care of their dogs. I'm the type of person who will keep your dog active, including taking them for walks, a fun run at the local dog park, a quick car ride for the occasional Puppuccino (if their diet allows for it), as well as to the local dog friendly brunch spot! I do work from home and have a super flexible schedule which makes it super easy to care for your pet. I have a sweet terrier mix of my own so I used to being around pets and understand what it takes to be a great pup parent! I have a dog of my own so I understand first hand the importance of pet care! I also walk my dog daily and understand the importance of keeping an active pet! I am with pets most of the day during the week since I work from home. I am very active with my dog as well as others so it's important to maintain an environment that is comfortable, safe, and present. I am happy to attend to any needs of all pets.
“Julia was a fantastic sitter for my two cats! With her photos and updates, I could tell they were in great care. I appreciated her communication and attention to detail. Would love to rebook with her in the future!”
“So lucky to have found Chelsea. She takes great care of my cat Miso while I am away. Sends the best pics! She goes above and beyond (namely repotting a plant for me that my cat knocked over). Would recommend to anyone looking for a rover!”
About: Hi, I’m Hilary! I am a healthcare worker and animal lover who will make sure your pet isn’t missing out on any fun or cuddles while you’re away! My goal is to put your mind at ease with a dependable, consistent schedule and frequent updates. A little about me - I’ve lived with cats my whole life and I’m currently a proud mom to two rescue kittens. My kittens demand a high standard of excellence at all times (clean litter box, cold water, and lots of ear scratches) and I can assure you than your cat will receive the same royal treatment. :) My pet sitting experience includes caring for kittens and senior cats with a variety medical needs, including physical disabilities, special diets, the need for medication administration. I’d love to get to know you and your pet, so feel free to message me with any questions!
“Hannah did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty babies and leopard gecko. She provided little updates and photos during every visit which were a joy to see while we were out of town. She was a great communicator and we absolutely recommend her for your pet sitting needs. 10/10 A++”
“Nicole was great! She was super friendly and responsive. She took great care of our two kitties and we really enjoyed the pictures. She went above and beyond keeping everything clean and tidy. We would highly recommend her!”

“I was traveling from out of state and had to attend GCU last min. Zinnia responded right away and helped me with Blake. She is truly the best and Blake enjoyed her time with her. Thank you again Zinnia for your help and responding back right away. Will recommend to anyone!!”

“We dropped off our dog Valentin at Jenifer’s place for a few hours while we attended a local wedding. She took great care of him and sent us constant photo &video updates. She has a big yard and two other very friendly dogs, so Valentin had a great time playing (and took a few naps too XD) 10/10 would recommend!”
“Diesel had a great stay with Adrianna! I appreciated her timely response to my initial inquiry as well as the time she took to schedule a meet and greet. She was able to answer any questions I had. I felt confident leaving Diesel in her care.”
About: When you're away, you want to know your dog is happy, healthy, and cared for like family. As a Rover client myself, I know how much thought goes into finding a sitter who will truly care for your beloved pet. More than anything, I want your dog to feel genuinely loved, not just looked after. . I understand that each dog is unique, so I'll partner w/ you and build a routine around what your pup actually needs, provide individualized attention, enrichment, and a calm, structured environment. Updates and photos will be provided as often as you want, and communication will be professional and prompt. . Centrally located in downtown Phoenix, under 15 minutes from PHX airport, in a secure building complex. My home is calm, clean, and puppy-proofed, with all dog supplies, toys, grooming products, bedding, and furnishings chosen specifically for safety and hygiene. You and your dog can expect a well-maintained, hypoallergenic-conscious environment, alongside Tater Tot (my 3.5 year old, professionally trained, spunky silky terrier) and my pup adoring partner, Justin. . Meet n' Greets are encouraged, in-person or virtual (video) to make sure it's a good fit for everyone. If your pup does better one-on-one, with gentle structure, individualized attention, and endless pampering, I'd love to meet them! . Background: . Dogs, cats, horses, aquatic pets, animals big and small - if it had fur, fins, scales, or feathers, I’ve cared for them all! I have over 40 years nurturing and loving animals: training award-winning service dogs for people who have physical disabilities, raising Clydesdale draft horses in a rural Midwestern farming community, and volunteering at PAWS, Chicago's largest no-kill shelter. A close family friend's parents worked in veterinary medicine, and I spent years shadowing their practice in the office and in the countryside. Also, I frequently travel to pet sit for friends locally and cross-country, and I'll bring that same level of trust and attentiveness to your pup. . Between my own pets and the animals I grew up around, I have real, hands-on experience with puppies, seniors, rescues, special needs, terminal illness, intestinal ailments, medications, subcutaneous fluid administration, food allergies and specialized diets, training reinforcement/techniques, behavioral issues, and grooming and hygiene best practices. . I do best with puppies (AVSAB guidelines for safety and socialization), senior dogs, pups with special diets or allergies, and dogs needing extra patience or a quieter setup. Puppies get structured routines and positive reinforcement. Seniors get a slower pace and attention to mobility and medication timing. Allergies and special diets are followed exactly. For dogs with behavioral sensitivities, whether that's noise, other animals, or new environments, I adjust the pace and space to keep them comfortable rather than forcing interaction. . My pets: . My silky terriers have always been by my side, first Addi, and now Tater Tot. Addi made the journey with me from Chicago to coastal Southern California to Phoenix, and we spent those years road tripping, hiking, camping, kayaking, and exploring together. She lived a full life to 16, including managing Cushing's syndrome and eventually renal failure with consistent, attentive medical care in her final years. That experience taught me patient, individualized care, something I bring into every dog I look after. Tater Tot, now 3.5 years old, joined our family here in Arizona after Addi crossed the 🌈 bridge. I am 100% available for your pup all day long, so pet care fits naturally into my normal routine rather than being squeezed around it. Feeding, medication, and walks happen on your dog's exact schedule, not mine. Walks are timed around Phoenix heat, always in shaded areas and during the cooler parts of the day; your dog will always be walked or get outside for a potty break regardless of temperature. Between scheduled care, I'm present in the home for calm companionship, not leaving your dog alone for long stretches. For short-term stays and overnight boarding at my residence, here's what to expect. . Household members: . - My partner works remotely. Kind-natured, with years of experience caring for friends' and family's pets. He grew up with golden retrievers, goldendoodles, and other pets. - Tater Tot, our 3.5 year old silky terrier, completed private 1:1 obedience training with a professional, certified trainer. He is fully vaccinated, on tick/flea guard and preventative heartworm medication. Responds to basic commands, plays well with other dogs, and is polite around people and animals. Adaptable in new environments, walks well on a leash, comfortable in the car, and potty-pad/crate-trained. - We don't feed our pets people food due to health/diet restrictions, but let us know if yours enjoys sharing. - Vaccination and preventative med records available if you'd like to see them. . Living conditions: . -Secure 2,000 sq. ft. residence in a gated multi-unit community, single floor, clean and puppy-proofed. Bedrooms can be gated off, and there's room to setup a pen or crate in the living area. - Your dog will always be walked or go outside for potty breaks. Timing is adjusted around Phoenix heat conditions and matched to your dog's leash comfort and energy level. Getting outside requires an elevator or four flights of stairs, which I factor into scheduling. - If your pup is potty pad trained and does not wish to be walked in the extreme heat, we've created a dedicated, secure, and hygienic potty area on our balcony (3 ft railings), since we don't have an adjoining yard. - The neighborhood is dog-friendly and walkable, a mix of homes, apartments, shops, and restaurants. Hance Park is about a mile away, and if your pup is athletic, we can drive to any local Mountain Preserve for some on-leash hiking, weather permitting.
“Lorin and her family kept my pup safe during the day! She was able to help us out on short notice. My pup came back happy and worn out from all the activity he had. He will be back in the future for more doggie daycare! Thanks Lorin and family!”

“Truly, the best sitter ever and this is coming from a first time Rover user was very nervous, but felt that this was the right place for dolce tons of updates and they have beautiful dogs truly thankful”
“Kate is wonderful to work with - she's easy to communicate with and clearly very knowledgeable about dogs. My dog is now a regular with her and the difference has been amazing already. He's so much less stressed than he was when I used to take him to Dogtopia, and I have peace of mind knowing he's in such good hands. I highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for someone who truly understands and cares about pets!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. I had a 106 lb German Shepherd for 8 years, and during that time I received professional training so I could properly train and care for her, giving me a strong foundation in structure, behavior, and handling larger breeds. Most recently, I lived in a home with four pets (both cats and dogs), where I helped manage daily care, routines, and lots of love and attention. I’ve also fostered animals, which has taught me patience, adaptability, and how to help pets feel safe and comfortable in new environments. What sets me apart is my ability to balance structure with affection—I’m attentive, intuitive to each pet’s needs, and experienced with different personalities, from playful and energetic to calm or senior pets who need a gentler approach. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply providing a calm, loving presence, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I work from home part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, consistent care. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine—whether that’s walks, playtime, feedings, or cuddle sessions. I bring a calm, “pet concierge” approach to every visit, keeping routines smooth, spaces clean, and pets happy. From energetic dogs who love activity to cats who prefer a more relaxed, on-their-terms vibe, I tailor my care to each pet’s personality—making sure they feel safe, loved, and just a little bit spoiled. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel comfortable and at ease. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of your space and your pet’s routine—keeping feeding schedules, walks, litter care, and any specific instructions consistent. I pay close attention to details, from securely locking doors to ensuring pets are always supervised and safe. In my home, pets are welcomed into a peaceful, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and cozy spots to relax. I’m mindful of introductions, boundaries, and maintaining a stress-free atmosphere for every pet. I take a thoughtful, attentive approach—reading each pet’s behavior, keeping a watchful eye, and providing updates so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in very good hands.
“I recently entrusted Joanna with the care of my dog Nizzy, and I'm more than pleased to share my experience as a review. This was our first time going to Joanna, and Nizzy has some separation issues and can be nervous. Joanna's loving and patient approach made all the difference. She showed extraordinary kindness and understanding, making sure that Nizzy felt comfortable and cared for. Her ability to connect with and calm a dog experiencing anxiety is truly commendable. I am deeply grateful for her exceptional care and highly recommend her services to other pet owners. Will book again!”
About: I had my first dog, for whom I was responsible, at age eleven. I have had dogs for the rest of my life. I had a dog with cataracts and diabetes, so I'm good at giving special care to dogs, including administration of medication and injections. I'm teaching full time, but am free to board dogs, as long as the owner doesn't mind them being alone while I'm at work. My Shepherd mix has a lot of energy, so we keep her busy and let her have her daily zooms. We have a yard that dogs seem to love. I give medication to one of my dogs regularly and also medicated our diabetic and blind dog for the three years that she was in that state. My husband and I don't have kids, so our dogs are our babies. They love having guests and so do we.
“Christina took great care of my 5 month old pup and provided him with a fun and active day! He was so smiley at pick up. Christina is very communicative, kind and definitely goes the extra mile to show care for all dogs. Super thankful for his stay at Christina’s home!”
“Chelsea was super communicative and really good with our 3 dogs. They were very happy, and enjoyed their stay. Easily will be back the next time the doggos need somewhere to stay!”
“Loren has an incredible home set up perfectly for dogs of all shapes and sizes. She spent time listening to the needs I have for Betty White. I’m excited to use her again!”
“Definitely would recommend!!! My Daisy is very attached to me and has never been in someone else's care. The 2nd day when she got out of car she ran up to the door and couldn’t wait to dart in not even looking back at me. I got several updates & photos throughout the day. Will be booking with Christian & Hana again!”
“David did a great job taking care of Oscar for the day. He was responsive to our change in plans and stayed in touch while hosting Oscar. We appreciated his kindness and his own dog, Rue, was a calming presence! I would definitely recommend David and would use him again when we are in town.”
About: PLEASE if your animal is experiencing respiratory infection symptoms (ie. Coughing, difficultly breathing) take them to the vet. I've had animals my whole life, between taking care of my own, friends, families, and neighbors I've become a well rounded animal sitter. I will take care of your babies like they're my own. I have two of my own. I will make sure your babies well taken care of with all the love and compassion I have! I work Monday through Friday but have every weekend available unless out of town on business and would be able to take care of your baby! Drop ins and walks and if your baby is friendly with other animals I can even take them to the dog park for you! I live in a pet friendly house with a front yard that your pup can enjoy under supervision. I will also keep your baby on their schedule to make sure they stay comfortable at all times!

About: I have years of experience dogsitting and housesitting for families with multiple dogs. From energetic Boxers to senior dogs to anxious dogs, I have the experience. I am new to Rover and typically have dogsat through family friends/word of mouth. Looking for some company during my WFH job during the week! I have a work from home job with limited meetings. I am available to hang out for longer periods than just a quick potty break or walk. Available during the day after 8 am CST and evenings. Weekends not available. Your dog will be treated with as much care and love as I treat my dog with. I am attentive and diligent with whatever your dog needs. Whether that be extra long pets or patience when your dog is sniffing on a walk, you can count on me. Experienced with older senior dogs and younger dogs that require extra watchful eyes for mischief. I always will leave your house in the same condition as it was when I arrived.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. I had a 106 lb German Shepherd for 8 years, and during that time I received professional training so I could properly train and care for her, giving me a strong foundation in structure, behavior, and handling larger breeds. Most recently, I lived in a home with four pets (both cats and dogs), where I helped manage daily care, routines, and lots of love and attention. I’ve also fostered animals, which has taught me patience, adaptability, and how to help pets feel safe and comfortable in new environments. What sets me apart is my ability to balance structure with affection—I’m attentive, intuitive to each pet’s needs, and experienced with different personalities, from playful and energetic to calm or senior pets who need a gentler approach. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply providing a calm, loving presence, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I work from home part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, consistent care. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine—whether that’s walks, playtime, feedings, or cuddle sessions. I bring a calm, “pet concierge” approach to every visit, keeping routines smooth, spaces clean, and pets happy. From energetic dogs who love activity to cats who prefer a more relaxed, on-their-terms vibe, I tailor my care to each pet’s personality—making sure they feel safe, loved, and just a little bit spoiled. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel comfortable and at ease. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of your space and your pet’s routine—keeping feeding schedules, walks, litter care, and any specific instructions consistent. I pay close attention to details, from securely locking doors to ensuring pets are always supervised and safe. In my home, pets are welcomed into a peaceful, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and cozy spots to relax. I’m mindful of introductions, boundaries, and maintaining a stress-free atmosphere for every pet. I take a thoughtful, attentive approach—reading each pet’s behavior, keeping a watchful eye, and providing updates so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in very good hands.
“very great with communication and Betty adored her. She was running late due to traffic but let me know ahead of time. we definitely will be using her again.”
About: Hi, I’m Hilary! I am a healthcare worker and animal lover who will make sure your pet isn’t missing out on any fun or cuddles while you’re away. My goal is to put your mind at ease with a dependable, consistent schedule and frequent updates. A little about me - I’ve lived with pets my whole life and I’m currently a proud mom to two rescue kittens. I feel comfortable working with cats and small to medium/large dogs of all ages, with a variety of medical conditions. My experience ranges from caring for kittens and puppies to senior cats and dogs, including pets with special diets and disabilities. I am open to any breed of dog and have especially extensive experience with chihuahuas and golden retrievers. I am available for walks, hikes, play time, overnight stays at your house, or quick check-ins. I’d love to get to know you and your pet, so feel free to message me with any questions! Because I work full time, my availability for walks and drop-ins is limited to evenings and weekends. I also accept house sitting requests for the weekends or for pets who are accustomed to being home alone during the day on weekdays. My house sitting rates include walks and cover up to 16 hours of care. Constant care of up to 24 hours is charged at an additional 50% of the nightly rate. I will review your safety concerns and protocols prior to any assignment, including any doors, stairs, and gates in your house, any use of crate, and any harness or leash used for outdoor activities.
“Jordan was responsive, responsible, and friendly. Went above and beyond on a short notice to take care of our dog and we’ll definitely be calling him up again!”
“I had an amazing experience with Kenzie. She was incredibly kind and compassionate toward my puppy, Cairo. From the start Kenzie went above and beyond to make Cairo feel comfortable and cared for. I appreciated the constant updates and pictures, which showed how happy and relaxed my pup was. It’s such a relief to know Cairo was in such loving hands. I highly recommend Kenzie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Nicole was so nice to stop by to meet me and my dog prior to the first walk. She sent pictures each time and a brief update. She was great at coordinating what time she was about to come by.”
“We are so lucky we found Alma. She has been our dog walker consistently for the three months we needed help. She makes sure our pup is taken care of and always updates us on how he is doing. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
About: I'm excited to meet the center of your world. I've raised and loved dogs and cats of many shapes, sizes, and ages. Whether you're a busy professional or away from home, I'm happy to help. With experience of volunteering at shelters and raising both dogs and cats, I’m excited to take care of yours, too. I am currently only available for evening and weekend visits. I'm flexible with clear communication if you need an extra visit when travel is delayed. I'm very careful when opening and closing doors, as I know some pets can escape very easily. When outside, I keep dogs (and cats) on shorter leashes to maintain control and safety. When feeding and inside the home, I'll follow all care instructions. If I have questions, I'll reach out to receive clarification.

“Mitchell took excellent care of my dog, Nabi, and it was clear that she had a wonderful time with him. I knew she was in good hands, but I especially appreciated the photo and video updates while I was away. Seeing how happy and well cared for she was gave me a great deal of peace of mind. I would absolutely book with Mitchell again without hesitation!”
“Amazing and humble service! Received photos and videos everyday of my pup having fun. Instant messages back and forth. Felt super comfortable with Zinnia and will hope to use her in the future!”
“I can’t say enough good things about the care my dog, Mac, received this past week. They treated him like their own — tons of love, attention, and updates that made me feel completely at ease. It’s such a relief knowing he was in a safe, happy environment while I was away. I’m really grateful for how attentive and patient they were with him. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Monica was an A+ dog sitter for our girl Remi. We are always a little nervous when we leave her for more than one overnight and Monica had her for 5 days and we were never worried, our mind was at ease the whole time! Monica was always quick to respond, sent us daily updates, sometimes morning and night. I love that our dog is welcome in her home because Remi loves to snuggle and sleep on your pillow! Also, love the big backyard where she can run around leisurely and socialize with other friendly dogs. She was so wore out and content when we picked her up from all the playtime. I would highly recommend Monica, and can’t wait to book her again for our next outing!”
“Brooklyn had another great stay with you Ezra! It is so reassuring to know that she is so happy & well taken care of when I am away! I knew when I dropped her off & she didn’t even look back at me that she had a good experience & good memories of her last stay 3 months ago! Thank you for everything!! Kathy”
“She took amazing care of my dogs! I really appreciated the regular updates and pictures while I was away, and my dogs came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Marina was absolutely WONDERFUL. She sent me updates on Benji every morning, noon and in the evening! Benji got along with her pups and he looked very happy! We were a little late picking him up but Marina understood completely. We would definitely book with Marina again for our boarding needs!!”
“Very good eith LaVysh. Loved how she kept in touch and sent pics. I think LaVysh enjoyed herself with the other dogs. She is still adjusting to getting back home and not being herself but that may be bc she has never been away from us at all and for days but she’s starting to get back to herself. Appreciated StacyAnn’s efforts and ability to work with us to pick her up due to an unexpected car issue we had.”

“Megan and Paulo did a last-minute sit for me and were so wonderful! Yeti was well taken care of, and had a great time in their care. I recommend them for anyone in the Phoenix area, looking for a pet sitter for their fur baby!”
“My pups love staying with Haniyeh! They always come home happy and tired. She is great with keeping us updated on how they’re doing as well as sending pictures. Thanks so much!”
“From our first meeting, it was clear that Chris truly has a heart for dogs. Our mini dachshund, Beau, isn’t always quick to warm up to new people, but he took to Chris right away. While away, we received daily summaries with photos and notes about how Beau was doing. We felt completely at ease knowing Beau was receiving such great care. Beau was in great spirits when we picked him up and we could tell he had a blast. Chris went above and beyond, and we highly recommend him.”
“Crystal was awesome! I had last minute plans change and my other dog sitter fell through. Crystal came to the rescue and took great care of my pups. I appreciated her communication. It’s hard to find people to trust to take care of your family but she definitely delivered! Thank you!”
“Sorry for the late review and tip. Buddy loves staying at your home. Dawn and Andrew, we always know that he is in good hands and company with both of you. We truly appreciate that you watch over him when we travel. Thank you very much. Dennis and Chris”
