“We could not be happier with Daniel! He took such good care of our two dogs. He sent video updates to help put us at ease while we were away, and our dogs absolutely loved him! We now call this Camp Daniel lol, and we will absolutely be using his services again and again. Thank you Daniel for loving and spoiling our furry kids!!”

About: I’ve taken care of multiple pets at once. Some in my home and some at their home. My friends and family have relied on me to help them with their pet. I’m currently open to any sitting right now since I’m currently not working. I have a lot of time on my hands to help out. I am a stay at home mom. I do not have any pets of my own. I have a fenced back yard. Not too big but big enough for furry friends. Furry friends are welcome in my home as well and on the couch.
“Kathy is a wonderful care person for my dog. He was cared for in the same loving way he is at home. Photos every day showed him being himself. I can highly recommend Katherine for your "Fur Baby" when you are away.”

“Kristie and Rick were great. They are really nice and took great care of Ruby. When we picked her up she ran between us and Rick and Kristie tail wagging. She seemed very happy with them. We greatly appreciated their kindness in taking care of our older dog.”

“I think our Jack Russell Remi was spoiled during her recent stay with Teel. A beautiful fenced in yard both in rear and front of house provides an additional level of security. Teel's home is clean and accommodates dogs to be spoiled by being able to sit on couch (though Remi prefers her lap). She has two small dogs who are learning to share Mom and seem to appreciate the extra playmate. Teel was accommodating of providing Remi a safe place to stay while Mom & Dad were busy.”

“Averi is one of the most wonderful people we have ever met 💕 She emanates light, And is So clearly a good person or dogs were calm around her almost instantly. If it sounds like I’m gushing, I am! Our dogs are reactive, I’ma not blown away by how they reacted to her. We love her!”

“Strider and I were so lucky to find a dog lover like Kris on relatively short notice. She was very knowledgeable and helpful in all things dog. And I felt that Strider was completely safe and having dog fun with the other neat canines that were there. So good! Thanks Kris! Darlene B”

About: I have cared for pets my whole life and understand the importance of keeping them happy, healthy, and safe. I provide regular potty breaks and allow plenty of supervised play and roaming time. I always clean up after them, follow feeding schedules and make sure they get the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my family. I recently graduated and am waiting to start college. This gives me plenty of free time and flexibility to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m currently available Monday through Saturday at any time, so I can easily adjust to your pet’s schedule and needs. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe and supervised environment where they get regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I have two friendly dogs who love to play and can help keep your pet active and socialized. I stick to feeding schedules and always make sure fresh water is available. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the same routine while respecting their space and instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, keep their areas clean, and give them the love and care they’re used to in their own home.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs and as an adult I’ve never lived without cats. About 16 years ago my daughter talked me into getting a Yorkie and I have been in love with small dogs ever since. I started fostering rescue kittens about 7 years ago when I lived in Hawaii and found my new passion. I moved to Green Valley, Arizona summer of 2025 to be closer to my 85 yo mother who is still pretty active but experiencing memory issues. I am looking forward to helping my new neighbors with their pet care needs 💜 I am currently retired so I have plenty of time to care for your pets and walk your small to medium sized dogs either in your home or mine. I live in a smoke-free, child-free house with a fenced in yard. My 16 year old Yorkie is very social and loves having furry visitors. Pets are allowed on the furniture in our house and sometimes humans are too.
About: Hi! Available for (much of) Santa Cruz and Cochise Counties, including Ft Huachuca. I grew up on a farm, worked at a vet clinic, and have always had animals and pets when my life permitted. I have a passion for our furry "family members" as well as learning all different types of animal behavior. Dogs, cats, horses, cows, donkeys, fish, and even took care of a camel a time or two. My professional and athletic life has taken me around the world, and frankly, caring for pets of family, friends and neighbors throughout the years has still always been a most gratifying highlight! I have the patience and energy to match dogs of all temperaments, so let me know how I can support you and your family! If my profile is visible, it means I have plenty of time to help out with your furry family members, be it pet-sitting, walking, or just checking in on them. I have a highly-flexible schedule and a vehicle large enough to crate/transport if needed. As far as housesitting, depending on the proximity, would be flexible on either daily check-in and/or possibly overnights. Please reach out in advance to discuss. I live on a large ranch but do prefer to keep them leashed when walking (until I know they heel well AND to keep YOU more confident). I'm flexible on this based on consults with you. They would sleep indoors, and if you prefer, I could easily crate as well. Non-smoking home. You can bet I'll treat them as my own!

“Daniel took care of us (the cat and myself) and did all he could to make us both feel as comfortable as possible. He took the time to interact with Griffin and was very accommodating of my schedule. Lots of dogs around but kitty had his own room with a nice window he could sit in.”


“Candida was wonderful with our kitty. She even texted pictures so I could see her. We weren’t worried at all about leaving Taffy in Candida’s care. We will definitely ask her again if we are planning a trip.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Rio Rico
“You can really tell that Daniel loves taking care of dogs. He sent us several videos throughout the day which showed the girls having a great day and also very attached to Daniel. I think they were disappointed when we picked them up. 😍 Daniel has one very gentle, playful Boston terrier who seemed to get along well with our pups. Daniel is very friendly, professional and a strong communicator.”

“Teel has the perfect property for larger dogs like ours. She sent us pictures and took great care of our girl 3 separate days while we were visiting family in Grren Valley. Thank you so much!”

“Katherine checked all the boxes for finding the perfect pet sitter for our Frank. Her calm and gentle nature is a good match up, well informed on dog care and kept us informed with pictures! Definitely recommend her and look forward to sharing Frank with Katherine again soon!”

“Kristie and Rick are wonderful! They are very responsive and took great care of my dog for the day. And their dog is a sweetie, too! I would highly recommend them and will use them again in the future.”

“We left our energetic two and a half year old with Nadolyn for the afternoon. He was calm and happy when we got home that evening. I highly recommend Nadolyn to care for your pet!”

“Brenda has lots of dog experience and good instincts. Upon meeting her, I felt very confident leaving Ralphie with her. Ralphie exhibited signs of separation anxiety initially but Brenda just "rolled with it" and within a short time, my dog was sitting next to Brenda and watching TV with her. Ralphie was very calm and happy when I picked him up. Finally, Brenda was very easy to communicate with throughout the process and responded to my emails promptly. Highly recommended.”

“Kristen was great with Jax and I appreciated her meet and greet before we did a full day of daycare. When I dropped him off he went right into her house like they were old buddies. She provides the perfect setting for playing in the backyard as well as hang time inside.”

“Thomas does such a great job with both my high energy pup and her older sis! You can see the love he has for what he does. The pups are excited for his arrival every morning and ready for naps by the time he brings them back. Best decision ever 😁”

About: I want to open our home for dogs that need to feel loved and comforted while their family is away. I have had a pet most of my life. Different breeds from a small terrier to large dogs. Currently we have an older lab that loves everyone. We choose a Labrador after training puppies with Guide Dogs for the Blind for 5years. I like fun energetic pets as well as slow moving or special needs. I will take pictures and videos so you can see how your family pet is doing. We retired to Green Valley 13 years ago. One of us is always home, but I will be the primary care given for your pet. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to care for your precious family member. My husband and I are retired and home full time.With a fenced back yard for your pet. And many areas to walk . If you have an early riser, I'm up at 5:30 daily. Our home has an enclosed front court yard. And a 3ft6inch brick wall in back. I keep only plants I can see under for the safety of my animals.
