“Clara is an amazing Dog Sitter. My dog was so happy when I picked him up. She provided continuous feedback and pictures. I highly recommend her. Thank you”
“Christian and Hanna watched our dog for four days. We were very pleased with their care of our dog Princess. They have a beautiful home with plenty of room for her to run around. Princess received daily walks and plenty of attention. We were also pleased with the daily photos and updates we received. I do not hesitate to recommend Christian and Hanna to take care of your dog.”
“Amber was great! She sent lots of pics and videos of our puppy. It was the first time he had been away from us and we were concerned how he would handle it. He was nervous the first few days, but she was patient with him and got him comfortable and settled in. No easy task with a puppy with a ton of energy. He got a lot of socializing with her other pets and we were so thankful for that. We are definitely using her again in the future and we would highly recommend Amber. Thank you Amber!!!”
“While our dog was with Melanie she sent us pics, texts and a video, daily, which we loved. Her place is well organized and has good outdoor space so I think our dog had a great time. Overall, Melanie communicated promptly, clearly, and directly, so she will be part of our future plans with our dog.”
“She took great care of our dog and we would definitely book her again. She sent daily pictures of our dog on their walks or napping on the couch. She was also very responsive and easy to work with.”
“This was the first time I did boarding with Chandra. I could tall from the pictures that she was happy and had a good time. Cindy sent updates and pictures. This was a great experience for me and for Chandra. I recommend Cindy 110%. She is awesome!”
“Bob and Lynnda are great pet sitters! Millie was treated as their own dog and spoiled as much as one would spoil your own dog. She went on daily walks, had play time in their backyard everyday and...even allowed on their furniture. This was a treat for Millie as she is only allowed on one chair in our house. This was all apparent by the many photos and videos Bob and Lynnda sent us while we were out of town to see how she was doing. I looked forward to my daily photo report. Thank you Bob and Lynnda for taking such great care of Millie. It allowed us to enjoy our time away more knowing she was in such good hands. Millie will be seeing you again soon. :-)”
“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!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Brooke and her husband! I never worried for a minute about my little boy monkey. She sent several pictures daily, updates on how his day went and how he was eating. I have used Brooke several times and would recommend her to anyone that’s worried about leaving their dog because she gives them so much attention”
“Incredibly communicative and easy to work with. Clearly reviewed instructions and was ready with clarifying questions. Drop off/pick up was flexible. Nova came back happy as can be!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Outstanding Dog Sitter! We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog, Lexi, received while we were out of the country for 10 days. Kaitlin sent updates and photos and made sure she felt loved and comfortable the entire time. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. When we returned, Lexi was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for.”
“We love having Rachel take care of our dog when we travel. We are at complete peace knowing he is best care. The photo updates make even better to see how much he is enjoying his stay. She even makes sure he took his medicine and takes him on walks! Can’t ask for anything more!”
“Wow! Alex is wonderful! She truly cares about her dog guests. This was the first time leaving my dog with someone other than my daughter, and the first time ever being with more than one dog. I was extremely apprehensive and nervous, until I met Alex. She and her own dogs made me and my dog feel comfortable right off the bat. I knew that I could totally trust her with my boy. She sent me many, many pictures that eased my mind and I could see that my dog was happy and socializing. He got lots of attention, snuggles, and even slept on her bed and I got peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and some training tips. I am so grateful to have found her. Thanks, Alex! doggies are her life”
“This is the second time Elena has watched my 2 dogs twice. She keeps me updated several times a day with photos which are so nice to see when you miss your fur babies.”
“I have engaged John and Donna's service a couple of times and they are just terrific sitters. They took care of our Bruno as if he was their own. Our dog has become comfortable staying in their house and I wouldn't hesitate to bring him back again, when the need arises, as I know he will always be loved there.”
“This is the second time we have used Mark and Aggie and I can't say enough great things about them!!! Our big dog needed medical treatment administered while we were gone and Aggie was wonderful in seeing that it was completed. Our "boys" were very well taken care of and we will continue to use them in our future travels. I highly recommend them!”
“Miriam and her family were great with Ozzy! She was very patient with our 1 year and 8 month Australian shepherd mixed so you can imagine how much energy he had. I loved how Miriam would send updates and pictures every couple of hours without having to ask her. As energetic as Ozzy is, I was worried about him being in an apartment for a few days. However, Miriam and her fam would often send pictures of them going on walks throughout the weekend. Thank you for taking care of Ozzy Miriam! We would definitely recommend you to anyone looking for care for their dog!”
“Julia gracisously accommodated my last minute request. I have three “littles” and sometimes it is difficult to find someone to watch all three together. Her home is super dog friendly. My fur babies were allowed on the furniture and were able to sleep in bed with her. They seemed happy and not as anxious about my absence when I returned which tells me they were treated well and felt at home in her care. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Sergio & Bethany are a very responsible and caring family. Our dog daisy was comfortable during her stay. We felt at ease leaving her in their care and we are planning on using their services again.”

“Kayleigh was perfect! She gave me such peace of mind and communicated so well! I was nervous about leaving my pet for the first time, but after meeting with Kayleigh and disusing everything, I had nothing to worry about. She was kind, appropriate, respectful, and an obvious animal lover!”
“Kim was very prompt and responsive throughout her visits. She also sent a lot of pictures which we love! Kim took great care of our kitties and completed all extra tasks that were asked of her. We have already booked Kim for our next trips.”
“Trish is amazing as always! My pups love her and it’s nice knowing I have a trustworthy and dependable person to look after them. Will definitely reach out to her again.”
“Breanne was very communicative and was so good at keeping my cat company while we were gone! She took him outside on a lead, played with him and gave him regular brushings.”
“I am a veterinarian with many high-needs animals, and I am particular about who I hire to help with our pets. Josi has taken care of our (large) crew for years! She has cared for our 4 (previously 6!) dogs and 1 cat on many occasions. They are a big group with some behavioral issues/nuances, and I fully trust her to handle them safely. They also all have their own food foods, medications, and feeding instructions - and she pays close attention to detail in ensuring this is handled correctly. Josi has stopped in to check on them/give breaks on long days away and has held the fort down on weekends/weeks away. Our animals all love her and she adores them like they are her own pets. She always takes the time to give them affection, throw the ball for a dog, and sit with them. Our cat loves when she visits and immediately meows and demands attention and petting from her. She has been punctual, always showing up for our crew when expected and also has been available to help us with last minute requests many times. She is communicative, reliably responsive, and always friendly. I trust her completely with my pets and my home and would highly recommend her for any pet care needs.”
“Emilee is always so amazing! She is so wonderful with our kitties and goes above and beyond every time! We're so happy and grateful to have someone that we can trust so much!”
“Dear Stephanie, I hope this note finds you well. Happy late Mother’s Day! I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful care you provided to my dogs during the past week. Your kindness and attention to their needs truly made a difference, and I can't thank you enough for your exceptional service. It’s such a relief to know they were in such capable hands, enjoying their time and being well looked after. Your dedication and love for animals shine through in everything you do, and I am incredibly grateful to have you. Thank you once again for your outstanding support. I look forward to seeing you soon! Warm regards, Claudia Dabdoub”
“Julia did a great job taking care of my dog! I had her do drop ins in the middle of the day while I was working in office. She’s very communicative and flexible. Will definitely book again with her in the future.”
“A very thoughtful and caring cat sitter! Was given detailed updates that let me know my pet was being well taken care of. Will be rebooking Daniel for future cat sitting!”

“Katie did such a great job watching my baby and was able to also watch a foster cat I had found right before my trip (who had to be kept separate from my cat). Very responsive and thorough. I highly recommend!”
“We highly recommend Olivia. She is dependable and very personable. We trust her with our cat Zona. It made our trip earlier knowing he was in great hands with her.”
“I've tried other well reviewed pet sitters on this application, but none have actually cared for my cat like Olivia did. I could tell that my cat and house were treated in an exceptional manner, beyond what other 5-star sitters on this website have provided in the past. Olivia is a gem and i'd be lucky to book her in the future.”
“Outstanding and friendly sitter that accepted my last minute request. Excellent communication, tons of photos, and caring attention which eased the stress of leaving my two kitties behind. I’m definitely planning to rely on her services in the future. Thank you so much Chelsea! ❤️”
“Janet did such an amazing job. My boys were very happy to see me and my son when we got home, but it was very clear they got lots of love and attention while we were gone. And she sent so many pictures! I just loved getting them multiple times every day.”

“Alex was great with Elsa. He was very diligent and even took notes on her lunch time. I was happy with the updates he gave as well. If Elsa needs a sitter again, we will definitely reach out to Alex.”
“I just loved Alex from the moment I met her! I could tell right away that she is who I would leave my dog with. She took excellent care of my dog and was always quick with responding. She was so good to send me pictures of my Bella during the day keeping me updated on how she was doing. Thank you Charlie and Chandra for being so kind and patient with Bella!! I highly recommend Alex.”
“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!”
“Champ was happy to be dropped off and happy to be picked up meaning that Miriam took great care of him during his time with her. We are very grateful and will contact Miriam in the future for dog sitting when planning to visit Arizona.”
“Cindy is fantastic. Our dog spent a few workdays while one of us was traveling, and he clearly felt comfortable and happy while at the same time Cindy provided a structured, calm, and enriching environment for him. He got walks and puzzles and even another dog friend to play with on occasion. Cindy was very patient, attentive, and kind. She has an excellent confident demeanor and establishes boundaries effectively and naturally with the pups. I would recommend Cindy in a heartbeat.”

Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or just extra cuddles, I make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and always send updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

I have a fenced in backyard at my house as well as the opportunity to walk at the park not too far from my house! I have two kitties living with me that are used to calm dogs so your baby will always have company if they want. My cats are known to be escape artists so I am very cautious about when, where, and how long doors and windows are open for.
“Dominique goes an extra mile for my puppy that gets pretty anxious around new surroundings and people. She’s been extremely helpful with socializing my dog and giving me a peace of mind he’s spending a day with someone who will take care of him.”

“Marisa was very gentle and kind to Winston, sending us lots of great photos as she took him on 2 walks during his brief stay with her. She is very responsive to inquiries and a pleasure to communicate with. We would certainly use her care again. Winston seemed very comfortable with Marisa, and she made him feel welcome by allowing him full access to the couch and the bed. Thank you, Marisa!”

About: ***PLEASE NOTE: I only take dogs up to 25lbs for the safety of my two 6lb chihuahuas. Larger senior dogs with low energy and calm demeanor are welcomed**** Your pet's safety is my top priority, and with over 18 years of experience, I've encountered a wide range of situations. I firmly believe that many 'accidents' can be prevented by understanding an animal's body language, using common sense, and taking a proactive approach. In 2023, I completed a 10-week, in-person dog training course, an animal CPR course, and a 6-hour online Master Class with expert trainer Brandon McMillan in 2024, further enhancing my knowledge and skills. When your pet is in my care, you can rest assured that their well-being is top of mind, and they will receive the love, attention, and structure they deserve! I also have hands-on experience in fostering dogs from the Maricopa Animal Control helping them find fur-ever homes. Fostering shelter dogs has given me the honor of working with various dogs such as senior dogs, special needs dogs, fear-based dogs, previously abused animals, and dogs with food aggression issues. While your fur-baby is with me they will be treated with the same love and care as my own pets! My partner and I both work from home full time so our dogs are by our side all day! We do not have a doggie door but we do let them outside every two hours. My home has a large fenced-in backyard with a swimming pool. We also have various grates installed in our home to block off rooms in order to separate new dogs that may need a day or so of decompression while adjusting for their stay. We keep our Rover dogs in our bedroom at night to sleep while our dogs stay crated at night in the kitchen area. Your dog will have free range of our home while they are here and will most likely be in either of our home offices while we work so we can keep an eye on them.

About: I am an Printmaking student at ASU, and I have loved animals since I was a kid. I was formerly a Girl Scout and have volunteered at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, and Arizona Humane Society, I've cared for animals since I was eight, even with my girl scout troop. I help take care of my dog and cat. I am currently a full-time student and pet sit part-time. I go to class Mon, and Wed. However, I have Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons open and am willing to work weekends and holidays. I have a cat. My cat is amiable. My cat is unsure of other animals at my house so I will offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is a lifelong love for dogs and hands-on experience from a very young age. Growing up, my family always had three dogs at a time, and we considered them true members of the family. I was actively involved in training, feeding, and caring for them throughout my childhood and teenage years. While I don’t currently have dogs of my own due to my roommate’s allergies, I still jump at every chance to care for friends' and relatives’ dogs, especially when they’re away for weekends or on vacation. I understand the deep bond people have with their pets, and I treat every dog I care for with the same love, attention, and respect I’d give my own. I am a full-time online student, so my flexible schedule allows me to easily provide reliable, attentive care for pets throughout the week and weekend. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow any instructions or routines provided. I treat both the home and pet with care, ensuring a calm, comfortable, and safe environment. I make sure to keep things tidy and adhere closely to feeding, walking, and playtime schedules as outlined by the owner.
About: I’ve had the pleasure of living with, and caring for, my own doggos and others, throughout my entire life. The greatest wisdom I’ve learned from them is that they are here to teach us unconditional love, laughter, and loyalty during their short lives. I have also dog-sat for friends and family, in addition to taking care of their property and homes for many years. I’ve owned three homes in my life, on acreages, so I’m completely aware of the responsibilities involved. My other pet care experience extends to cats, birds, and tropical fish. However, my greatest expertise is with dogs. My knowledge of dog behavior and training has been through Caesar Milan (“Caesar’s Way” that includes rules, boundaries and limitations) plus the Leerburg methods. I’ve successfully used these techniques on my own dogs and other dogs (depending on the circumstances) as needed. Our pets are chosen family members and best friends. I believe we have a human responsibility to properly protect and care for them on every level. In general, they not only give us insight, but also regular opportunities to express care, compassion and self-awareness through our love. Generally, the dogs (or pets) would follow my schedule. Daily, I walk 2-3 miles, so the dogs would go with me—if that’s part of their routine. Unless otherwise instructed, I would feed them on my schedule, as I eat meals twice a day. I’d check their water at those times too. Everything else, like playtime, grooming, or training happens when I take breaks from my work or during relaxation time. Then, (like me!) regular potty breaks first thing in the morning, throughout the day, and before bedtime. As for other pets, I’d follow instructions from the owner. In my home (when I’ve had my own dogs), they have their own beds or designated areas, such as blankets and crates, to lay on/in. They also have play toys I bring out when it’s time to play. My dogs always know basic commands like come (and do so when their name is called), yes, no, sit, down, lay down, heel, and stay. They are potty trained and know “pee pee”, “potty” and “poop” on command, as needed. My dogs are leash trained and know how to heel and walk beside me without pulling. I use boundaries with rules inside and outside the house. There is never ever hitting or harming a dog, or any pet. I never feed dogs human food unless it’s prescribed by a vet or a special dietary requirement or recipe by the owner. They do not get fed anything from the table and have their own eating area to consume their own food at designated times. Basic commands, using their names, plus being rewarded for positive behavior with lots of affection, praise, and even a doggy treat, is a common practice for me.
About: I would love to be that pal for your pooch! =) My husband and I live in Ahwatukee with our two biological kids and our adopted kid (a cockapoo), Finley. We like to go for walks around the neighborhood and play fetch in the yard. Your doggie would be a welcome addition to our routine. I also work from home so I am able to love on your little companion without them having to spend too much time alone. As long as your dog likes other dogs we will get along great! Also, since I am home all day I am happy to help with house training your dog. About this sitter: I also enjoy running, reading,baking desserts and going on adventures with my other critter (husband), although not necessarily in that order. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs all my life. When I was 9 we adopted a poodle named Damie from an elderly lady who lived near my grandma. Damie was with me from 4th grade all the way through college and was a great dog. Meet my pets Our dog Finley is our pride and joy. He loves to learn new tricks and snuggle. I have sneaking suspicion that he is running for most popular dog in the neighborhood. He loves meeting new dogs and playing chase. On a number of occasions we have had people tell us that their dog who doesn't generally like other dogs seems to like Finley. About my yard I have a big, fenced yard with real grass! I work from home and am around pretty much always. If I do run errands it’s for an hour and the. I’m back to snuggles I have a fenced yard and two friendly boys who love to play fetch, tug or just generally run around the yard. I am happy to crate or give meds as needed
“The best dog sitter ever!!! Honestly Trinity goes the extra mile to make your dog happy. My lab is a big boy and she can get him to play and be totally exhausted when he gets home. He has gotten used to their daily walks and waits for her everyday. When we go back to Seattle we will truly miss her! This experience has been beyond my expectations! Thanks!”

About: I've grown up with dogs and have always treated any cat or dog as my own. I am used to bathing, walking, running, hanging out with the dog.

Taken care of neighbors, my boss, and family members dogs since I was 15. About two years ago I was introduced and started to house sit and care for cats. It’s been educating and brought happiness/love into my life learning how to care for cats. It would be great to have a routine added in my daily lifestyle involving dog&cat sitting/walking. I have a very quiet lifestyle and apartment. I volunteer for SavingOneLife with cats. I love to play, snuggle, give scratches or even give space if that’s all they need for your dog or cat. I have a flexible work schedule now where I am available 7 days a week and will be working from home. Live right by a grassy patch. Lovely neighborhood to walk in. I can easily crate dog/cat if needed. Plenty of space in my apartment. Live on the second floor. Can carry dog/cat if needed. I have 8+ years experienced crate trained and free-range trained. If not crate trained, very alert to keep eye out especially taking dog out immediately when needed. Puppies I understand once out of sight something is going on. I’m energetic and aware to keep a consistent watch on puppies. I understand/first hand experience with puppies bladder, the size of a pea, and waking up during the night for the bathroom breaks to maintain outdoor bathroom training. I always will make sure the dog/cat is comfortable before leaving or in any time of day. Understanding the behaviors of the dog and cat I have cared for is very important to me, and my own behavior(excitement,slow approach,patience) when around them to make sure they feel at ease. This is my immediate goal when first introduced.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was born! We have never had less than 5 pets in the house. I grew up dog and cat sitting and am comfortable dealing with challenging pets. I have been a walker on here for over a year now and love meeting your sweet pets. I am currently attending naturopathic medical school in Tempe. I have early morning availability as well as sporadically through the afternoons and evenings. I should be able to work around just about any schedule. I am also a slow but passionate runner and am happy to include runs as well :) I have a lot of experience dealing with difficult pets. I can handle big and loud dogs, crazy chihuahuas, temperamental cats, and more. I grew up pet sitting and dog walking and am able to appreciate each and every pet for who they are.
About: While growing up in my childhood home for 18 years, I had and cared for a variety of pets such as cats, dogs, fish, and hamsters! Currently, I am a proud dog mom to my beautiful husky for the past 6 years. She is a very high maintenance dog so I have become proficient at all things dog care! I have come exceptional at feeding, grooming, and playing. As the weather permits, she gets an abundance of outdoor activity such as walking around our favorite parks, joining me on my morning run, hiking South Mountain and all around AZ, and socializing all the nearby dog parks! Concurrently, by trade, I am a pediatric speech language pathologist. I worked in a public elementary school and have since transitioned to home based services. As a speech therapist working with young children (especially in the schools), I possess highly transferrable skills to pet care such as patience, clear communication, love, responsibility, and playfulness! Being an SLP dog mom, I enjoyed supporting my dog’s communication skills by teaching her to communicate using a single hit speech generating button. My job consists of working with families in their homes therefore I have a very flexible schedule. I am working on building up my home health clientele therefore I have plenty of time to love on your pup! I made the switch to home health for this exact reason- to have more flexibility between work and home so I can do more of the things I love doing…taking care of furry friends! I have a walled back yard with the perfect ratio of grass to shaded patio with a doggy door. There are multiple ring cameras in the front and back yard to monitor all outdoor activity to ensure no funny business! We have a large crate (if needed) and more dog beds than human. My husband and I love to travel therefore we understand the importance of feeling your dog is safe, loved, and well taken care of. I recognize the importance of consistent communication and picture updates!
“Kelly was fantastic! We booked her for two dog walks this week and she went above and beyond in terms of walking, communication, and love given to our dog! We highly recommend Kelly and look forward to having her walk our dog again.”
“Janet was great with our pups and they loved their walks with her. She also kept us posted on how they were doing. We will definitely be repeat customers!”
About: My kiddo and I will happily provide lots of playtime, including walks and socializing, for your loved one. We both have experience with multiple breeds and are always looking to learn about the preferences and habits of those that are new to us. My kid loves to jog, dance, and tumble with the pups, while I'm more of the snuggling type. We both love long walks and visiting with friends at the dog park. If your sweetie prefers to play without children, I am available solo as well. Whatever your needs, my little family and I are happy to tailor our care to you and yours. You can rest easy knowing we will share our love and tons of fun with your family's best friend!

“Christian and Hanna watched our dog for four days. We were very pleased with their care of our dog Princess. They have a beautiful home with plenty of room for her to run around. Princess received daily walks and plenty of attention. We were also pleased with the daily photos and updates we received. I do not hesitate to recommend Christian and Hanna to take care of your dog.”
“Amber was great! She sent lots of pics and videos of our puppy. It was the first time he had been away from us and we were concerned how he would handle it. He was nervous the first few days, but she was patient with him and got him comfortable and settled in. No easy task with a puppy with a ton of energy. He got a lot of socializing with her other pets and we were so thankful for that. We are definitely using her again in the future and we would highly recommend Amber. Thank you Amber!!!”
“While our dog was with Melanie she sent us pics, texts and a video, daily, which we loved. Her place is well organized and has good outdoor space so I think our dog had a great time. Overall, Melanie communicated promptly, clearly, and directly, so she will be part of our future plans with our dog.”
“Bob and Lynnda are great pet sitters! Millie was treated as their own dog and spoiled as much as one would spoil your own dog. She went on daily walks, had play time in their backyard everyday and...even allowed on their furniture. This was a treat for Millie as she is only allowed on one chair in our house. This was all apparent by the many photos and videos Bob and Lynnda sent us while we were out of town to see how she was doing. I looked forward to my daily photo report. Thank you Bob and Lynnda for taking such great care of Millie. It allowed us to enjoy our time away more knowing she was in such good hands. Millie will be seeing you again soon. :-)”
“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!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Outstanding Dog Sitter! We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog, Lexi, received while we were out of the country for 10 days. Kaitlin sent updates and photos and made sure she felt loved and comfortable the entire time. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. When we returned, Lexi was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for.”
“This is the second time we have used Mark and Aggie and I can't say enough great things about them!!! Our big dog needed medical treatment administered while we were gone and Aggie was wonderful in seeing that it was completed. Our "boys" were very well taken care of and we will continue to use them in our future travels. I highly recommend them!”
“Sergio & Bethany are a very responsible and caring family. Our dog daisy was comfortable during her stay. We felt at ease leaving her in their care and we are planning on using their services again.”
“Cristina helped during a really difficult time. At the very last minute we needed someone to take care of our girls and she took them in, even though puppies! We received pictures daily and our girls had access to outdoors whenever they wanted. Her dog, Marley was also really patient with our pups. We are so glad they enjoyed their time!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter, especially on such short notice. From the moment we dropped our dogs off, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. Our pups can be anxious in new environments, but Mitchell gave them a calm, patient, and comforting space that helped them settle in while still safely enjoying socialization and interaction with not only Mitchell’s pup but others. Communication is big for us and was exceptional from start to finish—responsive, kind, and reassuring. Every day we received thoughtful updates and plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was very obvious that our dogs were not only well cared for but genuinely loved. It’s not easy to find someone you trust with your pets, and when your pups are like your own children but honestly, Mitchell really did make it so we didn’t have a single worry. We’re incredibly grateful for the kindness, professionalism, and genuine love shown to our dogs. We would absolutely book again without hesitation and highly recommend Mitchell to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive dog sitter.”
“Maritza was wonderful and gave me daily updates and photos of Otis. Her two young daughters were also pictured with Otis and they were loving towards him. Otis appeared content and happy. I would definitely recommend Maritza as a loving and caring pet sitter. I will consider her as my first choice in the future.”
“Melinda was great with our pups. They were very relaxed and made themselves at home which shows how comfortable and relaxed around her. We enjoyed all the pics she sent and kept in great contact with us. We will be booking again when we need a dog sitter in the future.”
“Dominique is fantastic. My pup spent the weekend with her and came back happy, tired, and well taken care of. I had to extend my pickup time due to unforeseen travel complications, and she was super helpful and accommodating. Will be using her ever time I travel moving forward!”
“Such a great experience with this family! Daily updates, plenty of toys and gizmos to keep our kitty entertained. And willing to go above and beyond for the animals in their care!”
“Jonathan and Christopher were amazing! Luna loved them and their babies. This was only my second time leaving her and they were wonderful about sending me updates and pictures. She was having a blast with all the attention she was getting. Thank you for loving Luna so much! ❤️🥰”
“Jemaury took real good care of my dog George. I sent him in and warned her that he was dirty because we'd been camping for a coupe of weeks. She offered to take him to the groomer and I came back from my trip to a squeaky clean dog. She's a very good communicator / quick to respond, and she would send me a few pics every time she took him for a walk or he did something cute. Highly recommend.”
“Our experience with Alex was excellent! Brindle is our baby, a cherished member of our family for over 10 years, and we haven't been away from her for this long in years; even then, she stayed with family. From the initial meet-and-greet, Alex was incredibly welcoming, putting both us and Brindle at ease. His communication throughout the week we were gone was outstanding; we received daily photo updates, which we LOVED. Alex was also accommodating with Brindle's meal preparations and medication schedule, showing a genuine commitment to her wellbeing. We would, without a doubt, have Brindle stay with Alex again and recommend him to any pet parent seeking a caring, responsible sitter. Thank you, Alex, for taking such wonderful care of our girl!”
“Bridgette was awesome! Easy to work with and she was even flexible when it came to drop off and pick up. Highly recommend Bridgette and will definitely want to use her in the future :)”
“Zinnia was great and communicative the whole weekend! She truly went out of her way to make sure we knew our puppy was safe and comfortable around her other dogs. I would love to book her services again in the future.”
