“Christina was absolutely amazing! She watched my dogs for 3 days and truly went above and beyond anything I could have asked for. She eased all of my anxiety and kept me updated, which meant so much. Most importantly, my dogs had an absolute blast with her! I will definitely be using her for any future boarding needs—I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“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!!”
“First time using the app and really nervous about leaving my two dogs. After meeting Amber I had no concerns at all and knew she’d take care of them! She made my trip out of the country possible and sent pics and treated them so well they weren’t sure if they wanted to leave. I’d recommend Amber to my own family and friends and 100% feel like I can leave town and be positive they are loving life! Thanks Amber, you’re a superstar!!”
“Richard watched our dog Mister for 9 days. We received daily pics and updates which was great. He was VERY accommodating with pick up and drop off times. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
“Kelly took care of Aiko for the second time and she was great! Aiko really seemed to enjoy her stay. I'm so glad we found her, she's super reliable. Aiko can be a little shy, but she warmed right up to Kelly. It gives me such peace of mind knowing Aiko is in good hands. I would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a pet sitter. We'll definitely be booking her again. Thanks again Kelly!”
“Cheryl took great care of our two grown up dogs. She was very attentive to their needs, followed instructions and kept us updated with messages and pictures on a very regular basis. I would leave our dogs with her again for sure and recommend her.”
“We felt very comfortable having Caroline take care of Dolly while we were away, She kept us updated on how things were going and sent some cute pictures along the way. We would recommend her and would use her for future pet sitting.”
“Our dogs are in the most loving and safe place with Carrie. They love staying with her and having their own doggie vacation! We have been able to visit family without hesitation or worry - which is a gift. I would recommend Carrie to anyone who wants their dogs to be dearly loved.”
“Such a sweet family. We broke down and we were a day late picking up. Without hesitation they offered to keep her an extra day. Will definitely ask them again if the occasion arrives we need a sitter.”
“Briana and Brandon are the best! This was my our first time using Rover and they treated our dogs amazing. I got super cute pics of the pups and she kept us informed everyday letting us know how the pups were doing. Highly recommended these guys. Thanks again”
“My husband and I cannot say Thank You enough to Celeste and her beautiful daughter for taking such great care of our baby Chiko!!❤️🐶 We were not even home after drop off when I got the first picture and video of Chiko all comfy on the bed watching a movie😄 We had to leave our baby for 17 days and Celeste was amazing about sending me updates, pictures and videos the entire time❤️ Thank you so so much Celeste! I would definitely trust you with my baby Chiko again!🐶”
About: Hi! I’m Lauren, a Scottsdale-based pet sitter who believes dogs deserve a loving home environment while you’re away and not a stressful kennel. I grew up on a farm with many house pets. I have 35 years of animal care experience and a special place in my heart for dogs! Your pup will get personalized care, lots of attention, playtime in a fenced yard, swimming in a pool, daily walks to my neighborhood walking trails, cuddles, and a cozy place to relax. I treat every pet like family and love sending photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your dog loves adventure or just wants a comfy couch and belly rubs, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I am currently a stay at home mom with kids in school. Our biggest strength is round the clock animal care. We treat animals as if they’re our own and with all the attention and care they deserve. I live in a gated community, with a fenced in yard. We begin our days with food and then a walk on our walking trail in my community. Afterwards, we like to swim in my fenced in pool in my backyard. The entire day consists of belly rubs, pets, snuggles, and as much playtime as your pup needs! I also help with crate training, and making sure we instill your house rules for animals here as well! As an animal parent myself, I understand that all animals require different things!
“Heidi was exceptional. She really was so sweet and kind to our Hunter boy. If ever we find ourselves needing a sitter in PHX again we would definitely go back. Thank you! 🤍”
“Krysten was very friendly and welcoming to our pup and asked great questions. I would definitely recommend Krysten. she is clearly a great caregiver and loves the dogs she has in her company.”
“Laurie is the best. Left our whoodle for a week and she loved being there. Lots of pics received of her enjoying playtime, walks and resting time. You can always tell a Rover when s/he is a true dog lover. Laurie is one of those.”
“Shahla was absolutely amazing. From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. You can tell she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. The attention to detail and level of responsibility she showed really stood out. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but Shahla made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, kind, and attentive. Thank you again, Shahla — you’re the best!”
About: Hi! I’m Kaitlin, a lifelong dog lover and the proud owner of a friendly Border Collie named Koko. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog, so I treat every pet in my care like family. My home is calm, clean, and fully fenced, and because I spend most of my time at home, dogs are rarely left alone for long periods. Whether your dog loves playing, exploring the yard, going for walks, or simply relaxing on the couch, I do my best to help them feel comfortable and at home. I care for a limited number of dogs at a time so that each pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and individualized care. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, routine, and preferences so I can help them feel comfortable, safe, and at home during their stay. I know being away from your dog can be difficult, so I provide regular photo updates and messages throughout their stay to help you stay connected and give you peace of mind. My Border Collie, Koko, is friendly, well-socialized, and enjoys having canine guests.
“Carolyn provided a safe, fun, loving environment for my little girl. I got pics from Carolyn every day and could tell Dakota happy and having a good time. I would definitely want to book with Carolyn again in the future.”

“Emma did a great job watching our cat, Jinxy, over the Thanksgiving holiday. I enlisted her services for twice a day check in which she even did on Thanksgiving day! Emma was very reliable and provided the services I need needed for our little cat Jinxy.”
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 have several years of experience caring for cats, from playful kittens to older cats needing extra attention. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box cleaning, administering simple medications, and of course providing plenty of playtime and affection.
About: Hi! Chances are if you are on my page you are an animal lover who is looking for someone special to take care of your beloved family pets. Look no further! I am Lauren, a registered nurse by trade, who when not working spends 99% of my time with my dogs and cat! My animals are not just pets, they are family. That is my philosophy when caring for your furry friends. I promise to take care of them like they are my own, and the same goes for your home! I understand how stressful and worrisome it can be to hire someone to watch after your animals and property. I am incredible responsible, diligent, and detail oriented when it comes to caring for others (people and animals alike- it comes with both jobs!) I have extensive experience with animals from the time I was a child all the way until present day. As a child I attended all sorts of animal camps during school breaks, in high school I volunteered at the local animal shelter where I adopted both my dogs from, and have spent countless hours working with trainers to train my dogs. Both of my dogs have completed beginner & intermediate obedience, as well as completing the AKC canine good citizen class. All of this to say- I have worked with my own dogs, as well as many other dogs and have extensive experience with animal behavior and all types of breeds. I understand some dogs need a little extra time to warm up and that is 100% okay, please just be upfront about your pets needs so I can best care for them! Aside from my canine friends, I also have a cat and I am happy to care for feline friends as well! I am a nurse so my schedule fluctuates often! I tend to have more availability than the average nurse due to my current role so reach out as far in advance as possible and I will try my best to accommodate your needs! I am here to best serve you and your animals. Let me know how to care for them and I will follow all instructions as given. Pets do best when routine is kept as close to possible as when you are present so I will look after them how you see fit!
“Maria is the best! We’ve used her several times for drop-in visits to care for our cat Oliver. She’s very responsible, responsive, sends lots of photos and always takes the time to play will Oliver to make sure he’s having fun while we are away. We can tell from her updates that Oliver really loves Maria! We highly recommend her!”
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: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who’s always had two dogs at home and a soft spot for all furry friends. I’ve cared for pets while their families—many of whom I’ve also nannied for—were away on vacation. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’m confident and comfortable with all dogs and cats. I also have experience with high-energy pups and administering medication. I’d love to give your pets the same care and attention you would while you're away! I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of availability for frequent visits, walks, and potty breaks. 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!
“Erika is the sweetest! She had the best communication and gave me lots of updates :) My pup is a usually a bit timid around new people but loved Erika right away, so I had absolutely zero worries!”
“Donna’s affinity for animals was apparent the moment she came to meet my pets. My 3 dogs fell in love with her and even my 3 cats all cane out to greet her. She took exceptional care of them. She updated me daily Via texts. You can’t go wrong asking Donna to take care of your pets. She will do an exceptional job!”
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.
About: Growing up I have always had cats and dogs and can’t imagine my life without a pet!! In college, I volunteer at the humane society to help out with animals and play with them and love it!! I am currently a college student who would love to help over the summer! I’m free almost every day, and can tend to your pets whenever is necessary!! I love making my pets feel comfortable and loved, whether that involves playing, walking, feeding, or snuggling!! I respect your space and will make sure I am respecting your pets space as well based on behavior and body language. I am flexible with care and am more than happy to do whatever you or your pet needs!
“Ella was so good with all three of my cats and was very responsible and responsive. I loved the photos and could see that everything was taken care of as we discussed. Thank you!”
About: I grew up with cats and cared for them for 18 years through childhood, so the routine is second nature to me — feeding, fresh water, scooping the litter, and plenty of play and attention. I'm comfortable reading cat body language and can tell when one wants company versus space. For drop-in visits I'll keep your cat fed, clean, and entertained, and I'll send photos and a quick update every time so you know they're happy and healthy.

About: Doggy Dude Ranch! Your dog will have a blast on our 2 acre alpaca ranch! We have a 5 year old golden doodle, 2 donkeys, and an alpacas. We have had animals our whole lives and are committed to their care and happiness. We are a casual, easy going home. We are committed to at least 2 long walks a day, unless your dog isn't up for it. We look forward to loving on your dogs while you are gone and will text photos daily if you would like. Someone is almost always home, so we are available just about 24/7. We are available 7 days a week for boarding and enjoy at least two long walks a day, unless a dog is not able to handle that. We have 2 acres for dogs to run, and our very friendly golden doodle for your dog to play with. We have donkeys and an alpaca on the property as well.
“Our two girls, both rescues, who are usually nervous at the vets and grooming, were welcomed into Kelly’s home by Mo the pug and the party never stopped :3) It was if they’d known Kelly and her gang forever. We’ve never left the girls at someone else’s house but when we drove off we did so guilt free and with confidence that they’d be smothered with love and lots of play. The best experience ever!!! Looking forward to many more visits”
“We had such an amazing experience with Laurie! She took such good care of Theo today. She took him for an early morning walk before it got too hot outside. She sent lots of pictures and updated us throughout the day. She made it very easy to communicate and coordinate care for Theo!”
“Nancy is very professional and knowledgeable about dogs. She was able to watch our little guy at the last minute when he was recovering from surgery. Her two dogs are super sweet and welcoming. She gave him the TLC he needed and allowed us to enjoy some time away without worrying about him. We’re very grateful.”
“Kevin was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was so flexible and my dog was excited to come back every morning. She was well taken care of and I was completely at ease. Very much hope to work with him again.”
“Zoey had a wonderful time with Mindy and her wonderful dogs Mindy provided pictures and updates Zoey was happy to return on a second day and was eager to spend the day”
“Kelly and her family are absolutely amazing!! Our dog Scout had so much fun with them and was comfortable with them immediately. Kelly was very organized and detail oriented which we appreciate very much as Scout requires some special attention due to allergies. Kelly kept us informed every step of the way when he was in her care, she sent many updates and photos throughout the day. Scout was very excited to be dropped off with her every morning and sad to leave in the evening. We can't thank Kelly and her family enough for taking such good care of our sweet boy!!”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and I have a lot of love to give! I believe I’m very intuitive when it comes to animals needs, even if they have certain sensitivities or issues. We work from home so we're always here for your pets needs. If your dog needs walks or even runs I'm open to whatever their needs are. If they are less social I’m comfortable keeping them away from other dogs or people or vice versa. I will treat your dog like my own. My neighborhood is quiet and a great place to walk dogs. And on lazy days we are great at snuggling. Whatever their needs! My boyfriend and I both work from home. We are always here. So what ever your schedule is, we can recreate for your pet for an easy transition. I have a fully fenced yard. I like to take a walk an least once a day depending on the weather/heat. If your dog is crated I can accommodate as well.
About: Hi there! I'm Maria. I’ve loved and taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes my whole life. I take care of cats, dogs, horses, chickens, and everything in between. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I live with my boyfriend Steven off a quiet dirt road in the Rio Verde foothills, with a fenced-in yard. Steven is an animal lover as well and enjoys taking care of our furry guests as much as I do We're active people and love going on long walks and exploring. If your dog is active and loves to run, explore the trails, or play an endless game of fetch, then we'll be sure to have lots of fun! Or, if you've got a senior or couch potato who wants only to venture outdoors for the necessities, you can still entrust us to brighten their day with plenty of cuddles and love as if they were our own dog. A trusted pet-sitter since the age of 10, I have experience with animals of all kinds. In addition to suburban pet-sitting, I have also farm-sat and cared for horses, chickens, barn cats and farm dogs. I have volunteered at several vet clinics, and I have also worked with goats, sheep, guinea pigs, bunnies, etc. I’m a life long equestrian with extensive horse experience, so if you need a horse sitter I am qualified for that job as well. We have 2 cats - Glitch and Desmond, who are comfortable around dogs. We also have a dog of our own - an Australian Cattle Dog named Lana who is used to being around other dogs. Animals are my life, and I cannot wait to meet your best friend! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. My boyfriend Steven, who also works from home, is an animal lover as well and enjoys taking care of our furry guests as much as I do. For drop-ins: Along with providing walks, food, fresh water, and anything else you may need for me to do, I also include plenty of love and cuddles if that’s what your pet enjoys! When your pet stays with us, it will be a home away from home. We have a fenced in yard where they will be supervised at all times. Our cattle dog Lana is used to sharing her home with other dogs.
About: I recently lost both of my fur babies of 13 years. The house feels empty and would love to share it with some pups that need love and care. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule for regular potty breaks, walks and snuggles. My yard is large and fully fenced in. I have a large yard and live in a great neighborhood for walks. The house is also pretty big for roaming. My children are here half time and love animals.
“This was my first time using Rover. The process was very easy. It was also the first time leaving my anxious dog with strangers. Rossana was wonderful - she was confident, calm and reassuring.. She and Kurt are obviously dog lovers and experienced pet sitters. They kept me informed during the day and sent two photos which put me at ease. Great.experience!”
“Rosie loves days that she gets to go to Jessica’s! She always has a great time and leaves tired. And Jessica is great at communicating and working with our schedule. Would recommend!”
“Su was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Finley! It was really hot that day so she was careful to keep him inside in the a/c. She sent us the cutest pictures of Finley getting love and attention all day. We are so happy with Su and will absolutely use her again when we are back in town.”
“Ellyn is truly fantastic. During our visit from Canada she cared for our doodle and was able to accommodate us on short notice. She is super kind and friendly and has a wonderful setup for hosting furry friends. So well deserving of 5 stars! Thank you!!”

Over the years, we’ve also had the rewarding experience of fostering dogs, including a lively litter of puppies. I’ve always found joy in spending time with dogs—whether it’s throwing a ball for them to chase or just hanging out and enjoying their company (no small talk required!).

Whether your pup needs a walk, some companionship, or a safe and loving environment while you’re away, I’m here to help! I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged friends!

Whether you needed a reliable dog walker or just someone to stop by and check in, I’ve got you covered! I’m a college student home for break, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your dog company while you’re out, i’m happy to help. I always treat every dog with patience and kindness. I have a big dog of my own, so i’m very comfortable handling larger breeds. When I’m doing drop-in visits in a clients home, I make sure to follow any specific care instructions closely.
About: Certified vet tech for 7 years! I’ve always pet sat for clients, friends, and family on the side! My biggest help is word of mouth. I have plenty of references I can send! I love bonding with your pet and making them feel safe as well as allowing you to be less stressed during your time away from them! I currently am full time employed at an animal hospital. My favorite thing to do is keep you updated with pictures each day of your cutie or cuties! I currently work full time in Fountain Hills! I’m off one full day during the week and off Sundays as well and most Saturdays. I occasionally work Saturdays but only until noon! For now I would have to stop by morning and night (lunchtime on my off days or if your house is near my work) and after work!

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who’s always had two dogs at home and a soft spot for all furry friends. I’ve cared for pets while their families—many of whom I’ve also nannied for—were away on vacation. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’m confident and comfortable with all dogs and cats. I also have experience with high-energy pups and administering medication. I’d love to give your pets the same care and attention you would while you're away! I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of availability for frequent visits, walks, and potty breaks. 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!

She eased all of my anxiety and kept me updated, which meant so much. Most importantly, my dogs had an absolute blast with her! I will definitely be using her for any future boarding needs—I couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: Hi! I’m Lauren, a Scottsdale-based pet sitter who believes dogs deserve a loving home environment while you’re away and not a stressful kennel. I grew up on a farm with many house pets. I have 35 years of animal care experience and a special place in my heart for dogs! Your pup will get personalized care, lots of attention, playtime in a fenced yard, swimming in a pool, daily walks to my neighborhood walking trails, cuddles, and a cozy place to relax. I treat every pet like family and love sending photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your dog loves adventure or just wants a comfy couch and belly rubs, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I am currently a stay at home mom with kids in school. Our biggest strength is round the clock animal care. We treat animals as if they’re our own and with all the attention and care they deserve. I live in a gated community, with a fenced in yard. We begin our days with food and then a walk on our walking trail in my community. Afterwards, we like to swim in my fenced in pool in my backyard. The entire day consists of belly rubs, pets, snuggles, and as much playtime as your pup needs! I also help with crate training, and making sure we instill your house rules for animals here as well! As an animal parent myself, I understand that all animals require different things!

About: Hi! I’m Kaitlin, a lifelong dog lover and the proud owner of a friendly Border Collie named Koko. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog, so I treat every pet in my care like family. My home is calm, clean, and fully fenced, and because I spend most of my time at home, dogs are rarely left alone for long periods. Whether your dog loves playing, exploring the yard, going for walks, or simply relaxing on the couch, I do my best to help them feel comfortable and at home. I care for a limited number of dogs at a time so that each pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and individualized care. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, routine, and preferences so I can help them feel comfortable, safe, and at home during their stay. I know being away from your dog can be difficult, so I provide regular photo updates and messages throughout their stay to help you stay connected and give you peace of mind. My Border Collie, Koko, is friendly, well-socialized, and enjoys having canine guests.
“Carolyn provided a safe, fun, loving environment for my little girl. I got pics from Carolyn every day and could tell Dakota happy and having a good time. I would definitely want to book with Carolyn again in the future.”
“In a word….. Mindy is AWESOME! It was our first time using Rover, and from the moment we met Mindy at our meet-and-greet, we felt 100% at ease. She took fabulous care of our energetic golden retriever Murphy and sent us regular updates—and lots of pictures-- while we were away. We loved that—it was great seeing him so settled in and content in her home. Mindy is kind, caring, accommodating and an excellent communicator. Our boy was in great hands with her, and we’re grateful to have had a worry-free trip.”
“Communicating with Brooke was very easy. We were able to meet her prior to Olly's stay, she was able to accommodate adding an additional day when our plans changed, and she sent lots of photos while he was there. Olly was well cared for, including extra attention during the fireworks on 4th of July. I highly recommend Brooke!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Veronica was great to work with and made the process really easy. She and her family showed lots of love for my dog and gave me daily updates with pictures and how he was doing. I will definitely use her again.”
“Linda and Brent were very good to Lacey, she came home healthy and happy and I love the pictures and activities that she got while she was there. I will definitely be taking Lacey back.”
“We could not ask for a better experience with Elizabeth! Her compassionate and loving care of our maltipoo, Bentley, was exceptional. She was attentive in the details, thorough and reliable. Elizabeth treated our dog Bentley like one of her own. She provided regular updates with pictures and made sure Bentley was happy and well-exercised throughout his stay. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands; a very good experience overall!”
“DJ is the best! I will follow him anywhere he goes! Kilo loves to be with him, this is the third time and kilo didn’t want to come back home. He always have a blast with DJ and pawfriends. Thank you so much for taking so good care of Kilo.”
