“She did an amazing job watching my cat for the week. She was very kind, reliable, and clearly cared a lot. She kept me updated the whole time with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell my cat was well cared for and comfortable. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter.”
“Caroline was very helpful watching our boys during our wedding week! She was so patient to our boys after a few accidents and was still so incredibly kind to them even after! 10/10 recommend!!”
“Kevin was great with Arjie! I dropped him off in an emergency over the weekend, and I was glad to have picked him! He gave frequent updates, sent photos, and I could tell that Arjie had a great time. I could also tell that Kevin really loves dogs, as Arjie is very hyperactive, and Kevin seemed to enjoy working with him and gave Arjie a warm, comfortable environment for the weekend. Really impressed and will definitely book him again!!”
“Monna is The Best! She took such good care of our little shih tzu —walking her, feeding her and most of all loving her.! Our doggie was missing Monna when we brought her home!!”
“Amber was excellent with my dog, Holly. Amber followed and did all the things I asked her to do with Holly because Holly is never around anyone but me. Amber was so perfect with everything, Holly loved her and when Holly came home she was calm and didn't act any different, she was glad to be home. I have always left any of my previous dogs at kennels and when they came home they were always traumatized and would hide and not be calm, just scared. I am so glad I found Amber, she was like a "Angel" to my dog, I could not have found a more perfect person to watch my precious Holly. Whenever I have to go out of town again, I will always want Amber to watch Holly. Amber was great with every thing she did with Holly. I am so thankful I found her and she is only 10 minutes from my house. She is the best. Thank you Amber for everything, I really appreciate everything you did for Holly.”
“Melissa and her family were great! We scheduled a meet and greet before our dog's stay so he could check out their home. During his stay she kept in contact via text with updates and pics regularly. He really enjoyed his time staying with them and was well taken care of!”
“Carrie is so thoughtful and caring! My dog loved her. She gave him lots of attention and playtime. She kept me updated the whole time. I plan to use her again in the future! Thank you so much Carrie!!”
“Spoiled, spoiled, spoiled. That’s what they did with our Kayla, the family bonded with our Kayla like she was part of their family. It’s really hard finding people that treat your babies like you do !!! Jaclyn and William and their children are so sweet if there was 10 times over stars I would give them hundreds. My girl is a pitty mix it’s hard to explain that she’s a sweet girl, but the family took right to her. Thank you for loving our Kayla like your own..”
“Incredible communication throughout the stay. Curtis and his family are delightful. We appreciated their flexibility and genuine love of dogs! Thank you for the exceptional care of our dog!!!”
“Hello Lauren, Thank you and your family so much for taking such great care of Java. We are so grateful we found you. Thanks again for all the pictures and updates during her visit. Best regards”
“Our two dogs recently stayed with Rich for a long weekend. Our experience was 100% positive and we will definitely use his services again. He updated us over the weekend to let us know how they were doing and we felt very comfortable knowing they were having a good stay. He is conveniently located just south of the 101 near the 51. Thanks for taking such great care of our boys while we were away.”
“Kelly helped us at the last minute, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Great communication. She and Connor seemed to really love Pretzel. And Jeezy is an awesome laidback dog.”
“Kaitlin was the BEST! Don’t hesitate to book with her! She was perfect for our pup and her dog Koko was the perfect playmate for her. Her updates and obvious love for dogs is so obvious. We will be sure to rebook with her in the future. I have never had my dog come home with all her food gone - she usually doesn’t eat well when we are away… BUT she came home with everything gone which shows how comfortable she was there. Kaitlin is amazing in every way! :)”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Adriana! She is so caring and gentle with our sweet Coco. She sent pictures and videos a couple time a day. We could see how well Coco had settled in. She has a beautiful backyard. Her house is immaculate and beautiful! She waited until the sun had gone down and it was cooler to take Coco for a walk so he could get out and get some exercise with her sweet little dog Kayla. Coco was so at home with her. There was not a bunch of other dogs running around. It was not noisy. It was calm and peaceful. he is an elderly dog so he took naps and explored her backyard. He did everything that you would want your dog to do while you are away. He too, had a real vacation! We will definitely be using Adriana in the future for all of our Coco care needs. She is absolutely wonderful. I highly highly recommend Adriana!”
“I'm so grateful that Carolyn was available for a last-minute pet sitting request that allowed us to travel to visit a family member in the hospital. She was very flexible with extending our stay extra days as well. She does have a lot of dogs with her, and my Sammi got along well with them after a meet and great. We will definitely be back to see "Coco and the shih tzu's." Thank you!!”
“Jessica and her family took excellent care of my hyper golden retriever. He was so loved and got plenty of exercise. If we weren’t just passing through town I would use her regularly!”
“5/5!!! Mike and Sherilene were great hosts for Addie over the weekend. From start to finish had a great experience and Addie from the photo updates had a blast in the big backyard and pool! Thanks again and would highly recommend.”

“Emma is an excellent caretaker for my kitty! My kitty isn’t always friendly, but she was very comfortable with Emma and would allow Emma to pet her. Emma sent me photos every day which always makes me very happy. She also went the extra step and cleaned a blanket that the cat had thrown a hairball on. I really appreciate her taking the time to do this. I highly recommend Emma. I feel very confident having her in my home and looking after my fur baby.”
“Excellent! Rebel really loved Sibel, and so did I. She was able to make me feel comfortable and confident about how well she would and did take care of Rebel. Loved the pics and videos:-) I would definitely use her service again.”
“Tracy was a wonderful sitter for our cat Fips. They both bonded immediately, something we did not expect because Fips is a really shy cat. Tracy took very well care of him and sent us photos from Fips during our absence. We could see from the photos that Fips was a happy cat while we were away. We would hire Tracy anytime again.”
About: I know how to take care of animals that are highly reactive due to my sweet rescue. I was raised around lots of different animals since I was a toddler and often watched on them even as a small child. As I got older and my mother started leaving for weeks for work so I’d watch my dog, cat, and two tree frogs on my own for years. I currently have two dogs and cat I care for that are happy and healthy. I’ve also always participated in neighbor dog walking and frequently volunteer at shelters. I am in school Monday through Thursday but am available early morning and late night those days and can be flexible. Weekend are completely open. I always remain courteous and respectful in other peoples private spaces. A persons home is incredibly private and I would make sure that trust is kept. I will follow your instructions exactly and make sure your pet and you are happy!
About: I have had my own cat since I was four and was responsible for cleaning her litter, grooming her, feeding her, taking her to doctors appointments.

About: If there's a dog to pet or a cat to befriend, I'm already on my way! 🐾 I've spent over 20 years loving and caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. From energetic zoomies to cozy cuddle sessions, I'm here to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'll treat them like family—because that's exactly what they are! I'm currently a graduate student completing a summer internship that has me in the office M-F. However, I am an early riser and more than capable of making visits before and after work and my weekends are usually pretty open! I care for every pet as if they were my own by sticking to their normal routine, giving them plenty of love, attention, and exercise, and making sure they always have fresh food and water. I'm happy to administer medications if needed, clean up after pets, and keep your home tidy while you're away. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have been taking care of pets since before I could remember. I believe that pets are what make the world go round, and always strive to make them as happy as can be! I have a small, calm dog and cat here in Arizona, and two large, crazy dogs back in Maine. I definitely understand how both ends of the spectrum can be! All my pets have made it from early puppy, to late senior so I understand the vital importance and factors of taking care of a youthful/elderly pet. I am only working part-time at the moment so taking care of your pets on the weekend is not a problem for me! I also work early mornings so I am free in the afternoons/evenings during the week for all services except overnight stay! MY HOUSE: I have a small, calm/friendly dog that would love to keep your furry friend company. He can be locked away in a separate area of the house if needed! I also have a small, calm/friendly cat but she will be locked away for all visitations/overnights because she gets scared easily. I have a beautiful fenced in backyard with a pool and fake grass. All pet waste gets cleaned up so it’s always hygienic. I will take your dog for a long walk 2 times per day. I will follow your desired feeding/play schedule and administer any medicine if needed. YOUR HOUSE: I will do all the same as listed above! If you have no fenced backyard, I will take your dog on multiple walks a day to get their energy out. I will also follow any crate training instructions if desired.

About: Hi fellow cat lover! Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for cats of all temperaments — bold, shy, cuddly, independent, and everything in between. Right now, I live with three cats, including a senior with FeLV (don’t worry they are separated!), so I’m very familiar with special needs, medication routines, and creating a calm, consistent environment. I understand that cats aren’t just pets — they’re family. Whether your kitty wants lots of play and snuggles or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll meet them where they are. I’m patient, respectful of boundaries, and experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, and helping even the most nervous cats feel at ease. Every cat is different, and I love getting to know their unique quirks and personalities. You can trust that your feline friend will be cared for with compassion, attention to detail, and lots of love.
“Carey is amazing. Extremely responsive & responsible. She sent us text updates & photos a couple times a day, helping with the extreme anxiety of leaving our elder Persian baby.

I’d love to give your pets the same care and attention you would while you're away! I'm currently in flight school so have frequent early mornings but am usually around afternoons/nights. Walks are already part of my daily routine, and I'd love to have some furry company along the way! I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved—whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. In your home, I make sure to respect your space and keep things tidy. If caring for pets in my home, I create a calm and cozy environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles. My goal is to keep your pet happy and stress-free while you're away!

About: I’ve never not had animals around me and I love it that way! I have brief experience with fostering puppies as well as taking care of newborn kittens. I’m currently a student at the University of Arizona, but over the summer I have full-time availability to pet sit. I can do mornings, afternoons, and evenings! I’m super active myself so it’s no problem doing physical activities with your pets or just letting them chill, whatever they love best! I’m willing to spend as much time as needed with them :) I have a fenced backyard, as well as two small dogs and a cat who are all friendly.

“Caroline was very helpful watching our boys during our wedding week! She was so patient to our boys after a few accidents and was still so incredibly kind to them even after! 10/10 recommend!!”
“Kevin was great with Arjie! I dropped him off in an emergency over the weekend, and I was glad to have picked him! He gave frequent updates, sent photos, and I could tell that Arjie had a great time. I could also tell that Kevin really loves dogs, as Arjie is very hyperactive, and Kevin seemed to enjoy working with him and gave Arjie a warm, comfortable environment for the weekend. Really impressed and will definitely book him again!!”
“Carrie is so thoughtful and caring! My dog loved her. She gave him lots of attention and playtime. She kept me updated the whole time. I plan to use her again in the future! Thank you so much Carrie!!”
“Spoiled, spoiled, spoiled. That’s what they did with our Kayla, the family bonded with our Kayla like she was part of their family. It’s really hard finding people that treat your babies like you do !!! Jaclyn and William and their children are so sweet if there was 10 times over stars I would give them hundreds. My girl is a pitty mix it’s hard to explain that she’s a sweet girl, but the family took right to her. Thank you for loving our Kayla like your own..”
“Incredible communication throughout the stay. Curtis and his family are delightful. We appreciated their flexibility and genuine love of dogs! Thank you for the exceptional care of our dog!!!”
“Kaitlin was the BEST! Don’t hesitate to book with her! She was perfect for our pup and her dog Koko was the perfect playmate for her. Her updates and obvious love for dogs is so obvious. We will be sure to rebook with her in the future. I have never had my dog come home with all her food gone - she usually doesn’t eat well when we are away… BUT she came home with everything gone which shows how comfortable she was there. Kaitlin is amazing in every way! :)”
“I'm so grateful that Carolyn was available for a last-minute pet sitting request that allowed us to travel to visit a family member in the hospital. She was very flexible with extending our stay extra days as well. She does have a lot of dogs with her, and my Sammi got along well with them after a meet and great. We will definitely be back to see "Coco and the shih tzu's." Thank you!!”
“Jessica and her family took excellent care of my hyper golden retriever. He was so loved and got plenty of exercise. If we weren’t just passing through town I would use her regularly!”
“Briana was absolutely wonderful! She was easy to communicate with and took great care of Daisy! She sent me pictures every day updating me on how she was doing. Daisy was very happy there! I will definitely use Briana again in the future!”
“Katie and her family took wonderful care of our 5-year old golden doodle. Our dog came home happy and we didn’t worry for a single second during her stay as she looked so happy in the daily pictures and updates that Katie provided. We 100% would try to book future pet sitting services with Katie and would consider shifting travel dates, if possible and/or necessary, to fit their schedule.”
“We are so grateful to have found Heidi. You can tell she truly loves dogs, does an amazing job communicating and has a wonderful home. We will definitely use her again and recommend to anyone needing loving and amazing care for their dogs.”
“Celeste was able to accommodate my travel schedule and make things very easy. It was the first time I have had my dog stay at someone else's home and everything went well!”
“This is our second time using Veronica and her family and both times it has been perfectly smooth! She provided updates on our dog throughout the entire weekend. We will continue to use her anytime we need a sitter!”
“Another wonderful experience! Mindy is very kind and sends great updates. Milo was well cared for got lots of attention and appreciated being on her furniture too!”
“Brooke and her family were wonderful sitters! My two dogs are very anxious around strangers, but Brooke provided a very relaxed environment for the dogs and, based on all the pictures she sent me, both dogs adjusted very quickly and loved having the run of their big back yard. I would highly recommend Brooke and plan to use their services in the future. THANK YOU!!!”
“Laurie took great care of our dog Cedar . We definitely will book with her again. She sent lots of pictures during his stay and you could tell they treated him like one of the family. They even let him sleep under their bed!”
“Rossana and Kurt are amazing! They took such good care of our dog while we were away and they were flexible when we had a travel issue. Truly wonderful people! We are thankful for them and the great level of service they provided.”
