“Christina is so wonderful! She takes amazing care of our dog and loves her as if she were her own. We know that when we go on vacation our doggie is also on a sweet “vacation” of her own!”
“Kevin was an excellent dog sitter for our 10 year old GS. His dog, Izzy is so calm and sweet and our dogs did very well together. Kevin’s communication was very prompt and thorough. It is very clear that he genuinely loves dogs and takes the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. He sent us a pic of our dog every day along with a quick note on her wellbeing and what she was up to. We loved getting these updates that reassured us that she was settling in with him and Izzy. Kevin even went the extra mile for us and dropped off our dog and her things at our home to meet our daughter who needed to drive to Oro Valley after a long flight. We will not hesitate to book with Kevin again. He has a nice tidy home, is a great communicator, professional, caring and witty. Thank you so much!”
“Excellent care! This was my dog's first experience being away from home. She started out refusing to leave her crate and ended up happy, playful, and getting and giving lots of cuddles and kisses!”
“They came to the rescue when another pet sitter cancelled on me and my dogs were safe and happy with them. They even got to see a dog friend from the AJ dog park. Would use them again if I needed help.”
“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..”
“VERY happy with the care Menaj provided for our dogs. One had an injury and Menaj didn't hesitate to deliver medicine daily for 10 days. She is a natural with dogs, kind, and generous. We are very lucky she was available to host our dogs. Thank you!”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Carolyn did a great job taking care of our puppy while we went out of town. She had excellent communication including pictures and videos too. Will use her again in the future.”
“As always Adriana and Kayla took amazing care of our fur baby!!! I would recommend Adriana over and over again! She provides a wonderful atmosphere and plenty of love 💕 to our fur baby!!!!”
“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.”
“Sara was absolutely amazing with my dog, Charlie! I get nervous leaving him with people and she took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout his stay. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Matt and Rebecca were amazing! Ollie had a fabulous time. We enjoyed the photos they sent each day — especially the ones of him running it full speed, playing fetch, and snuggling with their girls! We cannot recommend them enough! ❤️”
“I highly recommend Veronica for watching your pup. She and her family were wonderful. She sent photos everyday, was very communicative, and took great care of my dog Sadie. I will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Mike took good care of our Chunky Boy! He was communicative, friendly, and flexible. I think Chunks especially enjoyed exploring the great outdoor space with lots of room to run and play fetch. Will definitely be using Mike’s services in the future! Thank you :)”
“Melissa was so unbelievably sweet, and took such great care of Jax. She was thoughtful and attentive and sent us updates regularly. I felt completely at ease leaving Jax in her care. I would absolutely book with Melissa again and have every confidence Jax would enjoy his doggie vacation in her home.”
“I feel really safe with Barry staying with Brandon’s family! I pay close attention to Barry’s behavior after he stays with a new sitter and he acts very normal and content which actually says a lot! Thanks Brandon for taking care of him”

“Emma was awesome! She took perfect care of my sweet kitties. It’s so hard to leave town because I worry about my pets, but Emma eased my mind by communicating with me daily and sending pictures. She also kept everything very tidy, which I really appreciate!”
“Sibel was wonderful with our cat Bubba. He seemed to really enjoy her visits while we were away - he would greet her at the door, sit to be combed and petted, and engaged in play with the cat toys, especially the laser pointer that Sibel brought…which I’m now going to buy one! I felt that Bubba was in the best of care with Sibel! ~ Gloria Porteous”
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: I’ve always grown up around dogs and getting to spend time with them has been one of my favorite pastimes! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many new furry friends throughout the years and getting to know their own unique personalities! I always treat every new pup I see as if they’re my own. I hope I get the chance to meet your pups soon and give them a little extra company! Currently, my schedule is full open availability. I have no problem commuting for that reason:). I plan on focusing my attention on pet-sitting, as I’ve always had a love for animals! At my home, I have two super good boys! One is a Golden Retriever (11) and the other is a Shih-Tzu (15). They are fed every morning and taken out at least 3 times a day. Toys are never-ending and they are spoiled rotten (they get to sleep in the bed😉). Both of these pups are constantly getting attention…I mean come on, how can I not?!
“They where amazing, if your an anxious pet parent like me it can be hard to travel and to find the right sitter. They are really responsive and communicative with everything. I always got pictures and videos, and it made the trip way more relaxing. They followed the directions every-time and asked the best questions. As well as always being on time. Overall I felt good knowing they were taking care of my cat. This sitter is 100% anxiety/OCD approved🫡 I will be using them again in the future for sure.”
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!
“Ashlyn was amazing! Was a great communicator and sent lots of photos of my cat. My cat is shy and lived Ashlyn. Will be rebooking with Ashlyn in the future.”
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’ve been a cat lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve owned three cats throughout my life and currently have one of my own, giving me plenty of firsthand experience understanding their unique personalities, behaviors, and needs. I understand that every cat is different. Some are playful and affectionate, while others are shy, independent, or need a little extra patience to feel comfortable. I always respect their boundaries and let them approach me at their own pace. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and providing a clean, comfortable environment. I also understand how important it is to maintain a cat’s normal routine while their owner is away. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

“Daniel took excellent care of my 3 fur babies and left the house very clean. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing the animals were being loved & it was so nice coming home to the house just as we left it!”
“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. Without a doubt, we highly recommend her. Her love of animals & caring for them comes through. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I’m a loving, dependable, and attentive pet caregiver who treats every cat like family. I take the time to understand each cat’s unique personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether they’re playful kittens, independent adults, or sweet seniors who need extra patience and care, I’m happy to provide personalized attention. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, medication reminders, and lots of love and companionship. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for.
“Brooke was amazing with Hammy! She always messaged me back even when I was feeling like a total helicopter parent. I know old man ham can be a grumpy guy so it gave me a lot of reassurance to know Brooke was taking such good care of him.”
About: I've always cared for and understood the unique needs of pets. My friends and family have had me house sit and care for their animals ever since I was old enough to do it. I love all of my family's pets along the way, and every animal I've met. I will be available almost every day to care for your pets. I work full time currently, but my work is remote so I can easily tend to pets when needed. I can easily follow directions/instructions and can crate your pet if needed. I am focused on keeping your animals and home safe and comfortable. I am respectful and I do not drink or smoke.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals, from Australian shepherds, American short hair cats, retrievers, and chihuahuas. Ready for all situations. Love all cats and dogs! Also have experience with hamsters, guniea pigs, turtles and fish! I typically work 9-5. I have availability in the morning or at night. I am willing to comfort the animal at their home as well. Animals comfort is the number one priority. I can’t host animals typically but can travel and use my car to transport as well. Love animals and their little homes. Unfortunately have 3 animals of my own at the home and cannot have them at my home.
“Monica was very responsive and we were very satisfied with the care she provided. The house was nice and clean when we returned and Luna seemed as though we had never left. Would highly recommend.”

About: If you’re the type of pet parent who wants their pet cuddled, loved on, groomed, and genuinely doted on, I’m your person. Animals have always been a part of my life, and I’ve never known a time without them. I’m naturally very loving and protective, and I take pet care personally. I treat pets like family, not like a job, and I genuinely enjoy making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. As a pet owner myself, I know how stressful it can be to trust someone else with your animal. I keep that in mind whenever I’m caring for someone else’s pet — I’m the type who will happily flood your phone with pictures and keep communication open so you always know what’s going on. Honestly, it’s a win-win: I get to enjoy spending time with your pet, and you get peace of mind while you’re away.

About: From dogs 🐕🦺and cats 🐈to barn animals🐎; they all are my happy place🐾. I look forward to loving and understanding your pet(s) while building a relationship that brings them happiness 🦴while establishing for you - peace of mind. Rest assured; this southern gal 🌾has a heart for🐴 animals the size of Texas❣️ But the greatest of them is LOVE 1 Corinthians 13 I am flexible in scheduling with the intent that my love in pet care will bring your pet(s) and your routine a sense of consistency. And for those of us, that at times, have the unexpected or spontaneous moment(s); these are the moments that make life interesting😊: Know your animals's are in safe-loving hands. Genuine caring and loving animals - is first to know that each one is different; just as we are in our own unique ways. Feeding, exercise, clean water, routine, medications are part of basic necessity. However, speaking from my own experience's (implementing further what you have already established; safety in a trusted environment); it's important to not take for granted that all animal's are not the same. Taking the time to know what gives your pet a sense of security as they begin to trust me in their environment is all part of keeping them safely loved.
About: In addition to house/pet sitting, I have owned numerous dogs and cats plus hamsters, fish, chickens, and horses. I enjoy working with animals and am open to caring for most types of pets. I have previous experience with Housecarers and Trusted Housesitters and can provide copies of reviews by pet owners. I am retired so my schedule is flexible. I am physically very active and able to handle extensive walking as needed. I do occasionally travel but plan my travel months in advance so it would not interfere with any scheduled sits or pet care. I am not available to care for pets in my home. I would be available both day or night to care for or sit for pets in your home. I am a walker, so dog walking is one of my favorite activities with pets.

About: I’ve been raising and caring for Cane Corsos since I was 10 years old, giving me extensive experience with large, powerful breeds. While I have a special place in my heart for Cane Corsos, I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities and have experience caring for many different breeds.

I’m mindful of securing doors and gates, keeping potentially harmful items out of reach, and following each pet’s specific care instructions. I understand that every animal has a unique personality. Some dogs need plenty of exercise and playtime, while others prefer a relaxed environment. Similarly, some cats love attention, while others need their personal space. I always adapt my approach to make sure each pet feels comfortable and secure. I’ll respect your home, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care I give my own.

“Kevin was an excellent dog sitter for our 10 year old GS. His dog, Izzy is so calm and sweet and our dogs did very well together. Kevin’s communication was very prompt and thorough. It is very clear that he genuinely loves dogs and takes the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. He sent us a pic of our dog every day along with a quick note on her wellbeing and what she was up to. We loved getting these updates that reassured us that she was settling in with him and Izzy. Kevin even went the extra mile for us and dropped off our dog and her things at our home to meet our daughter who needed to drive to Oro Valley after a long flight. We will not hesitate to book with Kevin again. He has a nice tidy home, is a great communicator, professional, caring and witty. Thank you so much!”
“They came to the rescue when another pet sitter cancelled on me and my dogs were safe and happy with them. They even got to see a dog friend from the AJ dog park. Would use them again if I needed help.”
“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..”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Carolyn did a great job taking care of our puppy while we went out of town. She had excellent communication including pictures and videos too. Will use her again in the future.”
“Sara was absolutely amazing with my dog, Charlie! I get nervous leaving him with people and she took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout his stay. I will definitely be using her again!”
“I highly recommend Veronica for watching your pup. She and her family were wonderful. She sent photos everyday, was very communicative, and took great care of my dog Sadie. I will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Heidi provided a great experience. We received regular updates from her and she was understanding about the booking when we were still up in the air about our needs since we booked far in advance. She was a great communicator and very easy going. Thank you, Heidi!”
“We have been boarding our dog with Steven for quite a while now. Tobi is always happy in the pictures and when we drop and pick him up. Steven takes Tobi for daily walks and even though Tobi doesn’t like water, he always seems to enjoy looking over the lake from Steven’s backyard.”
“Riley looked great when we picked him up. Things appeared to go well. We always worry about him when we travel and were glad to get a good report. Thank you Celeste for watching over him.”
“So sad this is our last time with Eric! We know Lucy loves going to their house and knows their routine so it was always so easy to know we were leaving her in safe hands. She always was excited pulling up to his house and always was cheery when we came too. We will be moving or else we would definitely still be utilizing Eric for more days away!”
About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of dogs for the last twenty years. I currently have a 1 year old lab/collie mutt I rescued from the pound. I had a French bull dog who recently passed from old age but lived a fantastic life. I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and I’d love to walk, play, and care for your animal when you’re in a time of need!! I currently work from home. My wife works for a major financial institution(I worked there for 20 years). Currently, I work for myself and couldn’t be happier!! I take my dog for a walk every morning and every evening during peak Arizona summer nights. I love the dog parks! Expect a lot of hands on care!! I’ve used Rover for my pups before, and you can expect the same level of exceptional care I’ve been provided throughout my experiences. I have a safe, spacious, and quiet home!
