“Sophie looked happy throughout her time at Xi. Xi sent me a lot of fun pictures and videos of Sophie and her new friends everyday and we truly enjoyed them. Thank you!”
“Kaitlin and family were fantastic hosting my boy. This was my first time booking with Rover.

I was able to continue with my travel plans and was put at ease. Many thanks & I will be a return client!”
“Melanie was great and extremely communicative. My dog was having issues settling in and she was very understanding regarding his anxiety. Would definitely recommend her for any dog boarding!”
“I'm glad I found Hayley! She took good care of my fur baby when I needed to board her. She kept me up to date daily. Boarding is hard on my girl and I wanted her to have an environment that would feel as close to home as possible. Luna was happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I would highly recommend Hayley and will be using her again in the future.”
“Brooke and her husband were amazing with my pup, Carl. I haven’t left him with anyone in almost 3 years due to his advanced age and eccentricities. Haha. We decided to do a day care stay to see how he’d do and he seemed to be very relaxed and comfortable at her place. Her pup Franc is so sweet and keeps to himself which was great for Carl since my pup normally doesn’t do well with most pups. I’m so grateful to have found Brooke and will reach out to her if I ever need an overnight sitter. Thank you!”

“The best feeling is being able to travel and know that our dog, Shilah, is in the home of someone who loves and cares for him the way we do. Aggie and Mark are exceptional, providing a welcoming, safe and loving home for our dog.

You and your pet will be in the most loving hands with Aggie and Mark!”

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”
“Olivia is extremely conscientious and an excellent communicator. She went above and beyond to take care of Lynxxee, our senior kitty. He just started needing 1 pill per day and he usually isn’t very interested in taking it…and Olivia expertly figured out how to make sure he got his medication (and even found a better way to do it!) She provided detailed daily updates with pictures, and knowing Lynxxee was in good hands helped us enjoy our trip away. He was happier and more content than usual when we got home!”

“When your pet/house sitter makes it so your anxiety goes down when you're out of town is such an amazing feeling. This is how I feel when Amia comes and stays with my kitties. She's responsive, reliable and doesn't panic if something goes wrong. She left my home clean and my pets well taken care of. She's a gem, and you're lucky if you can book her.”
“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!”

“Alex took great care of my baby Potato! Potato can be very anxious and Alex ensured he was comfortable and happy in a new environment. He kept me updated throughout the day and is always very responsive.”
“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.”
“Alex is awesome! She has so patience, passion, and knowledge. She is 100% committed to understanding the dog language and their “energy” We are so grateful and recommend her to anyone that is particular about who they leave their pet with and know that their fury loved one is in great care”
“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!”

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.

“Amber and husband are caring and attentive care givers. Their love and knowledge of all furries is evident. Good communication including photos.

We rebooked immediately. We feel our pup will have a reliable 2nd home when we are in need.”

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!
“Aidaly has been my lifesaver! My nephew moved back to Texas with very short notice and thankfully she was available starting the Sunday before Memorial Day. It took Ziggy 1 day to warm up to her and now he greets her at the door. I appreciate the care and attention she gives my little guy.”
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 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.
“My dog isn’t the easiest to get out the first try because he is so scared with new people. Daniel got him out and stuck with it which I’m so thankful! I’ll continue to ask for his help when I need it.”
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: 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. Playing catch after a long day always is my favorite. I have taken care of dogs with specific food needs easily and understand the importance. 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 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
About: Hello!! I’ve watched dogs ranging from small to large, as well as a variety of breeds, for the last 12 years. I’ve done everything home visits/drop ins, overnight sitting, dog boarding and dog walking. I am an occupational therapist, as well as the director of therapies for the clinic I work at! I have a flexible schedule, so I am more than likely able to cater to your pets needs! I would love to walk/run with your dog, play with them, care for he/she as if they were my own and give you the piece of mind that they are safe while you’re not around! I can guarantee they would be in good hands with me. I have had dogs my whole life and I would most definitely consider myself a dog person.🥰 My husband, Nathan, also has extensive experience with owning pets, as well as dog-sitting! We have three fur babies of our own, so we are no-doubt dog lovers. I can’t wait to share my love with your fur baby! I have a flexible schedule and can pop in during the day, if needed. Otherwise, I can be available in the morning and evenings! Weekends are usually always free. In regards to your home, I follow any instructions and guidelines you leave me, as well as using my personal judgement when necessary. When I am around, I always keep an eye on your fur baby to ensure their safety!
“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!”
“Kayla is great! Conscientious about the dogs, reliable and a caring person overall. Trusted her with our dogs without hesitation. Unfortunately she moved out of our area but if she didn't we would be regular clients.”
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: 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!
About: 10+ years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes and personalities. Will treat your pet like family and provide the care that I would want for my pet! I currently work remote so I have a very flexible schedule. I can do drop-ins, walks, day care and boarding and more, through-out the day I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, attention, and any special care instructions needed. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while they’re away.

“Christian and Hana were very nice and took great care of my dog Oreo! I got daily updates and photos about how he was doing. They gave him lots of attention and he seemed very happy when I picked him up.”
“Kaitlin and family were fantastic hosting my boy. This was my first time booking with Rover. Nearly immediate response to my availability inquiry after my neighbor kid told me last minute that he was going out of town and couldn’t watch my boy. I was able to continue with my travel plans and was put at ease. Many thanks & I will be a return client!”
“Melanie was great and extremely communicative. My dog was having issues settling in and she was very understanding regarding his anxiety. Would definitely recommend her for any dog boarding!”
“I'm glad I found Hayley! She took good care of my fur baby when I needed to board her. She kept me up to date daily. Boarding is hard on my girl and I wanted her to have an environment that would feel as close to home as possible. Luna was happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I would highly recommend Hayley and will be using her again in the future.”
“Lynnda and Bob are the best pet sitters ever! We have no worries at all when we leave Millie with them. They treat her as their own. We know she is happy as we receive plenty of photos and videos of her enjoying her visit. Millie says, see you again in a few months. :-)”
“Brittany was a wonderful host! We booked with a short notice on an holiday weekend & we’re so glad she took on the opportunity. Our furry friend I’m sure felt right at home with her! She took the time to play with him and give him lots of love. I would definitely book again with her and recommend her to anyone looking for a good, reliable dog-sitter!”
“The best feeling is being able to travel and know that our dog, Shilah, is in the home of someone who loves and cares for him the way we do. Aggie and Mark are exceptional, providing a welcoming, safe and loving home for our dog. While we are away, Aggie shares photos and videos of Shilah that show a happy dog who is not missing a beat in his usual activities. You and your pet will be in the most loving hands with Aggie and Mark!”
“Radler had a great time being loved by Sergio & Bethany and their sweet family while we were out of town. The meet and greet was a wonderful way to put our mind at ease. We also received the cutest pictures letting us know Radler was happy and well taken care of.”
“Our pugs had a wonderful time! We were a bit nervous leaving them for an extended stay (8 nights), especially with the summer heat in Phoenix and our pups being pugs who are sensitive to high temperatures. But Fabi and her family were absolutely amazing! They were incredibly responsive throughout the entire stay and went above and beyond to accommodate every special need our pugs had. We felt reassured the whole time and came home to happy, healthy pups. We’ll definitely be booking with Fabi and her family again in the future!”
“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.”
“Jonathan & Christopher once again took great care of my 2 dogs in their beautiful home. I had accidentally booked the incorrect drop off time and I really appreciate how flexible they were with me. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Daniel and Cassandra were great. They kept me informed, were prompt to return messages and kept my dog safe. I would not hesitate to use them again. Thanks.”
“Christina was absolutely wonderful with my girl. I could tell she had a great time during her stay and was very well taken care of. I received videos and pictures while I was away and when I came to pick her up she was seemed like she had a great time! I am so grateful for the care Christina provided and I knew Judum was safe. Would absolutely suggest Christina to anyone who needed they fur baby cared for.”
“Wesley, Alison, and Hazel took such wonderful care of Coal while we were away for the weekend! It was clear from the updates and photos that he was happy, comfortable, and treated like part of the family. They even introduced him to the pool, which was such a fun experience for him! Hazel was a great companion, and Coal seemed to have a blast spending time with her. We truly appreciated the love, attention, and care they gave him and would absolutely trust them with Coal again. Highly recommend!”
“Dominique took amazing care of Riley even when he was nervous with thunder. Thank you Dominique for taking such good care of Riley like he was your own!”
“Marcella was amazing! This was our first time leaving our pup for this long and she made sure to check in everyday with pictures and let us know how our Marley was doing. She was a great communicator and allowed us to do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure Marley was comfortable. She treated our girl like her own and we will definitely book with Marcella again!”
“Eric was truly amazing, believe every single outstanding review. It is very clear that he and his husband are so caring and loving towards the animals they keep. My two pups seemed comfortable and content the entire 5 days we were gone like they were with family. My husband and I went on a cruise and didn't have the best service but that didn't stop Eric from updating us everyday with pictures, videos, and a rundown of the day. And of course we cannot forget the cutest portraits of my pups that he took. Those are definitely our new favorite pictures! Anyone would be lucky to book with this household!”
“Brooke and her family were wonderful! They communicated well, sent photos, and overall great hosts for Remy. Would definitely book again and recommend!”
