“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.”
“Ash was so attentive and responsive to me and Rudy. She made sure to ask questions about him to make him the most comfortable in a new setting and Rudy came back as happy as usual.”
“Easy drop off and pick up. Felt very safe having POTUS stay for a few nights. The property is clean and there’s room for dogs to play. Very great communicators! 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.”
“Marina is the best! She helped us out when plans changed last minute and took care of my dogs as though her own. She sent videos and provided updates the whole time.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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 ;)”
“10/10! My dog looks so happy and well taken care of! I received lots of pictures and will book her again in the future! Thanks so much for taking such good care of my baby!!!”
“Our Gimli seems to have enjoyed his stay and met some new friends. Fanny sent us lots of cute photos and videos. Would definitely recommend and will be using their service next time we need a sitter for our pup”
“Having recently moved to Phoenix and not having a dog sitter I needed to find one I could trust. Needless to say Lauren Marie satisfied that trust and then some. She took care of Ollie with great attention and shared plenty of updates and pictures. Her home is a fantastic environment for your pet to settle into. Ollie gives her a 100/10 and looks forward to future stays!”

“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Brooke was great to work with. We did a very nice meet and greet ahead of time. I brought my girl to her place and we all got a chance to get to know each other. She answered any of my questions. Then the actual stay was very easy. Drop off was simple. I lingered of course and she let me. I got photos of my girl throughout her stay. It was great to get updates. Pickup was also super easy, Brooke was very accommodating. I'll be booking with Brooke again!”
“I couldn't be happier with Kiara's care for my beloved bois, Bongo and Ringo. This was the second time she looked after them, and once again, she exceeded all expectations. Kiara went above and beyond by not only picking them up but also providing a loving home environment for them during their stay. I could tell from the moment I dropped them off that they were in good hands. They were not just taken care of; they were genuinely happy. Communication with Kiara was excellent throughout their stay. She sent regular updates and adorable photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing that Bongo and Ringo were having a great time. I appreciate Kiara's professionalism, her genuine love for animals, and her attention to detail. It's evident that she treats each pet as if they were her own. I highly recommend Kiara to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter. Bongo and Ringo are looking forward to their next stay with her, and I couldn't be more grateful for the peace of mind she provides. Thank you, Kiara, for being such an amazing pet sitter!”
“Our dog Rainer enjoyed his stay with Meg and Paulo. They were great helping him ease his anxiety the first day and he had lots of fun socializing with their pups the rest of the stay. We would book with Meg and Paulo again”

“Gigi is amazing! Such a caring and loving person. She took such good care of my little guy while I was away. She communicated daily and I could tell she really cares. She is a gem ❤️”
“Sydney was a great cat sitter! She was on time every day and always let us know how the cats were doing. It makes a big difference when you have a trustworthy and caring person looking after your pets! Thanks, Sydney!!”
“Thank you, Jasmine for being so attentive and caring to our cat babies. I appreciated the playful updates and pictures. They seemed to be happy to see their new friend.”
“This was my first time using Rover. And I was very nervous. Thank you so much Kaleigh for checking on him. She was perfect. I feel so much more relieved about using the app.”
“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!”
“Evelyn did a fantastic job of watching my pets while I was out of town. Her written and picture updates with each visit were helpful and appreciated. She went above and beyond with their care and set my mind at ease. Thanks, Evelyn!!”
“Rosa is an excellent sitter! I only needed her to come twice each day to care for my cat but my cat let her pet her and sat on Rosa’s lap which she rarely does with strangers. Rosa was very dependable, punctual and followed instructions perfectly. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Anna is simply the best! My cat, Simka, likes her more than me. I feel completely comfortable putting my baby in her hands. She even gives him his medicine, a critical job that he allows her to do. Couldn't recommend her more.”
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.
“Very flexible and easy to work with! There was some concern with my cat not eating and Karely worked with my girlfriend since I had limited cell reception. Couldn’t recommend more!”
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++”
“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!”
“Shannon was great! She went to visit my kitty during the holidays and was always on time. She always sent me the cutest pictures and gave great updates. Thank you!!”
“Alma was great with our 2 kitties. She quickly responded any questions we had and went out of her way to come back to make sure our cats medication was successfully administered. Would book again!”
“Nicole was fantastic! Took so many photos of playing and petting our kitty! We are so grateful for her loving on our sweet pet while away. Her booking questions made it easy and she was diligent!”

“Remi (dog) has stayed with Jenifer three times now and we fully trust her family to give him a safe and fun environment. I really appreciate the photos and videos Jenifer sends - my Remi is always having a blast!”
“Mitchell was great with my giant dog! I immediately felt comfortable and so did Dak. He is super attentive and understands how to make the pups feel at home. Would totally recommend him to anyone!”
“My dog Kallie loved her time with Kenzie! She was tired and happy when I picked her up from daycare. Kenzie helped me out with last minute daycare and I couldn’t be more grateful 🤍”

“Great experience! Used for doggy day care once. Great communication, felt at ease sending my pup to Monica and he came back super happy! Would highly recommend.”
“Christina was absolutely amazing with our crazy girl! Cinna is a golden retriever with lots of energy and absolutely loved hanging out with her and her pups all day. Christina was so sweet and friendly which made the process so comfortable as if you were dropping your pet off at your best friends. Cinna is already telling me she can’t wait to go back!”
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.
“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!”
“I am so thankful for Joanna and Haiti for making this entire experience so smooth! This was my first time ever leaving my pup alone with someone else. He's a pup that is afraid of people so I was extremely nervous that he was going to cause trouble, but by the end of the night I got pictures sent of him cuddling away with Joanna! I couldn't believe it was the same dog. I am so thankful of all the updates and her huge efforts with my scared pup. I will definitely book again if I ever need someone to watch my pup!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“Spring break, passing through town my family thought it’d be neat to see a baseball game. On incredibly short notice, Nadia was able to watch my two fur babies. She was very responsive, helpful, caring and insightful. During the time I needed I received multiple photos and videos while of my dogs paying and relaxing. It was really a great experience and I couldn’t recommend Nadia enough! Thank you again Nadia!!”
“I would not want to leave our pup with anyone else! For any other anxious dog parents, Dave is a god-sent. He is extremely attentive, considerate, and just plain awesome! We do weekly daycare and have boarded our puppy with him in the past.”
“Lorin was fantastic! Our frenchies had a wonderful time with her and her family. She was understanding to our schedule and was very accommodating to our dogs needs. We received a lot of updates and pictures, and pick up and drop off was a breeze. I can tell by the pictures and videos sent they had fun while in her care.”
“Marina took great care of our puppy Boston for the day and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was communicative, attentive, and clearly very comfortable around dogs. Boston came home happy, tired, and well cared for — always a great sign. You can tell Marina genuinely enjoys spending time with the dogs she watches and gives them plenty of attention and activity. We really appreciated the peace of mind knowing Boston was in good hands. Would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend Marina to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Rachel offered a nice cool place for our lil girl to relax after being out exploring with us in the heat during our trip to Phoenix-- and let us pet parents explore some non-pet friendly places as a result! Sohla was happy and refreshed after hanging out at Rachel's and we would def leave Sohla with Rachel again in the future if we ever return to the Phoenix area!”
“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!”
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.

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.
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.
“Sherry has been great with my pitbull. Pepper can be reactive & has alot of energy for a 10 yo dog & Sherry handles her great (even runs some of her energy out when needed) Sherry is also quick to respond, which is helpful because I tend to book last minute. Thank You Sherry!”
“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!”
“Nicole was fantastic with Noggin who can be a pain in the ass. She was also great at communicating and asking questions as necessary. Highly recommend booking her.”
“Kenzie was super understanding of Breve being nervous and having lack of confidence because she’s been rehomed so much. Breve is exhausted which was needed today as I have a migraine. Kenzie was quick to respond to our last minute walk, which is so appreciated. Breve & I thank you!”
“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.”
“Cristina did such a great job with Bea! She was very communicative and did an amazing job troubleshooting when Bea was being stubborn about going on a walk. Will definitely contact again and highly recommend!”

“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.”
“Easy drop off and pick up. Felt very safe having POTUS stay for a few nights. The property is clean and there’s room for dogs to play. Very great communicators! 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.”
“Marina is the best! She helped us out when plans changed last minute and took care of my dogs as though her own. She sent videos and provided updates the whole time.”
“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.”
“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!”
“10/10! My dog looks so happy and well taken care of! I received lots of pictures and will book her again in the future! Thanks so much for taking such good care of my baby!!!”

“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.”
“Brooke was great to work with. We did a very nice meet and greet ahead of time. I brought my girl to her place and we all got a chance to get to know each other. She answered any of my questions. Then the actual stay was very easy. Drop off was simple. I lingered of course and she let me. I got photos of my girl throughout her stay. It was great to get updates. Pickup was also super easy, Brooke was very accommodating. I'll be booking with Brooke again!”
“I couldn't be happier with Kiara's care for my beloved bois, Bongo and Ringo. This was the second time she looked after them, and once again, she exceeded all expectations. Kiara went above and beyond by not only picking them up but also providing a loving home environment for them during their stay. I could tell from the moment I dropped them off that they were in good hands. They were not just taken care of; they were genuinely happy. Communication with Kiara was excellent throughout their stay. She sent regular updates and adorable photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing that Bongo and Ringo were having a great time. I appreciate Kiara's professionalism, her genuine love for animals, and her attention to detail. It's evident that she treats each pet as if they were her own. I highly recommend Kiara to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter. Bongo and Ringo are looking forward to their next stay with her, and I couldn't be more grateful for the peace of mind she provides. Thank you, Kiara, for being such an amazing pet sitter!”
“Our dog Rainer enjoyed his stay with Meg and Paulo. They were great helping him ease his anxiety the first day and he had lots of fun socializing with their pups the rest of the stay. We would book with Meg and Paulo again”
“David was so great to Rudy & Leahy. He communicated well, took phenomenal care of them (multiple walks daily) and gave them all the puppy love! I will request David to watch them every time moving forward. He is a great guy who cares about your animals like they are his own.”
“I booked Arya with Haniyeh multiple times over the course of about a week and a half because my schedule got a little crazy - and she was as wonderful as ever! Clear communication, always get cute pictures and videos, and she loves on her as if she were her own. Arya loves going to Haniyeh’s and I will always reach out to her first when I need someone!”
“Brandy is amazing, my sweet boy was well taken care of and was provided all the time and attention he requires. I was sent daily updates and photos which were well appreciated!”
“My two rambunctious dogs had a great time. Sara noticed their stools were too soft and asked if she could give them chicken and rice. Hit the spot. Loved the daily updates, pics and videos. So easy to work with.”
“Great sitter! Can’t recommend her enough. She was took great care of our boys. Gave us peace of mind they were well taken care of. Provided updates and pics of them. Our boys loved her. Would rebook again.”
“We had such a great experience with our dog sitter, Crystal! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make sure our pups were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We loved getting regular updates, photos, and little check-ins—it really gave us peace of mind while we were away. To top it off, Crystal even washed the dogs before we got home, which was such a thoughtful and unexpected touch. It’s clear she truly cares and treats your pets like her own. We came back to happy, clean, and relaxed dogs, which says everything. Highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Dawn and Andrew were so sweet to our Tito and spoiled him with so much love and snuggles and even a pup cup! It made being away so much easier! Will absolutely rebook and highly recommend them!”
