“Leanna and Berlin were great! Wrigley is 14yo, blind and partially deaf, which gives him a lot of anxiety. We picked him up and he was so calm! He has eating issues and they went above and beyond to find food that he would eat, even making him special mixes. They were very communicative. Highly recommend!”
“Great experience for Rio with Kathy and Steve. Thank you Kathy and Steve for taking care of Rio while we were away for 4 nights. Kathy has constantly updated us with wellbeing of Rio with latest photos of him. I highly recommend them for your pet sitting/boarding.”
“Stephanie was very gracious and was understanding when my plane was delayed on my return. My dog was glad to see me, but not anxious when I picked her up. She obviously enjoyed her stay and was well cared for. The house and yard are immaculate, and her children loved having my dog around. I highly recommend Stephanie.”
“Michelle is an excellent sitter. She kept our little Yorkie for 10 days and was obviously provided first-class care! I also appreciated the daily updates and pictures. I highly recommend Michelle and will use her again in the future!”

However, she is always happy to get there and always happy to come home. Thank you Nick and Veronica for being great Rover peeps!”
“Kimberly was amazing! She welcomed us into her home at drop off and was so patient with this anxious pet mama. Marty had a great time and we got lots of pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

About: Hi I’m Kylea! I’m a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom and lifelong animal lover. Animals truly bring me so much joy and happiness and I would love to care for yours! While in my care, your pet(s) will receive tons of love, attention, playtime, and snuggles. Daily updates will be given as well as pictures! I have a lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small pets, and I will follow any special feeding schedules. I can administer medications if needed, and will accommodate unique care instructions. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I can care for any age whether it’s a puppy and still potty training or a senior dog that needs assistance and gentle care. I know how important our pets are—they’re family. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet(s) is receiving the best care possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing pet(s) and give them a fun, loving home away from home! 🐾💕 I will always be home to love and care for your pet(s). Your pet(s) is my top priority and your request is highly respected for the care of your sweet pet(s). During the AZ summer, dogs will remain inside for the majority of the day but will still get tons of playtime because in our home- we play ball in the house! :) Your pet(s) will have frequent potty breaks and tons of playtime outside when the weather isn’t extremely hot to prevent your sweet pet(s) from being overheated. I have a double fenced yard and tons of space for your pet to play. Artificial grass, a doggie pool for those dogs who love to play in water, tons of toys, an outdoor cooler with pump, & misters and fans (though dogs will never be left outside for a long period of time). As for cats- I will keep them separated in their own, quiet space with their own litter box, food, water, and accessories until they seem to feel comfortable. Then I will introduce the cat(s) slowly to the other cats and the to home.
“Molly had a GREAT time… she spent 3 days there and had so many new experiences. I would definitely recommend Sherrie. She sent me pictures and kept me updated with how she did and I was never worried. Will definitely use her again.”
“From the moment we dropped off Scorch, Chuck was friendly and welcoming. Communication throughout was excellent, with regular updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We felt confident leaving Scorch in such a clean and secure environment. Scorch came home happy and well taken care of, which really says it all. We'll definitely be using Chuck's services again!”

“You will want Dani to pet sit For your pets,she is awesome with them you get a pic of your pet with every visit she even goes Above and beyond and goes and gets my mail and brings it in. That is so nice of her. Not part of her job, but she will bring my mail in I have 2 cats One pretty much loves everybody, the other 1 you have to work with her.It takes time, but it took Dani apx 3 vacations for the 2nd cat not to hide on her. She can put her food down like we do You will not be disappointed.”
“Stevie was absolutely AMAZING! She was more than willing to meet my cat, Waffles, prior to booking as I wasn’t the most comfortable with leaving him in the first place. But, she updated me with pictures and how well my cat did throughout the night, and while she was there. He received so much love and attention, which really helped me relax while I was gone! She even left me a sweet note for my return! I can not recommend her enough!!”
“Tammy took great care of my cat while I was away. She was a great communicator, providing daily check in updates and pictures, and voicing any concerns. I would hire her again!”
“She is legit, trustworthy, honestly a real animal lover. On top of being affordable I think I found a new cat sitter as long as she is on here and available I’m booking her. Thanks Tonya keep being you and awesome😁.”
“Im so grateful to Issy taking care of my babies. I have a regular babysitter who is gone for the summer and am always nervous to trust someone new but she honestly exceeded my expectations and I just booked her again for next month. The thorough updates she provides really puts me at ease and I was surprised that even my most timid kitty warmed up to her immediately. 🩷”
“I'm struggling to add anything more from my earlier reviews except to say again that Faith is the best most reliable and caring Pet Sitter that we have ever had. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She is so friendly, gentle, kind, patient and loving to our 17 year old cat. The poor guy has gone nearly deaf, and gets an occasional upset stomach. But Faith is a great communicator which helps ease the concern of leaving him. Faith just jumps in and takes care of it all. Thank you Faith! You're Simply the best!”
“Annabella was amazing! She went above and beyond to care for our cat Loki while we were on vacation. The night we left, our fire alarms became defective and kept setting off until our maintenance team could come fix them the next day. Annabella stayed extra long during her visit to reassure Loki and comfort him. Our litter robot also had a connection issue, and she was able to reset it & set up an emergency litter box I had shipped to the home. The fire alarm situation caused me a lot of anxiety at the beginning of the trip, but the daily updates and photos from Annabella made me feel so much better and we were able to thoroughly enjoy the rest of our trip, knowing our boy was in good hands! We would definitely rebook with her on future trips. :)”
“Kimberly did a wonderful job! She sent pictures, walked the dogs, and when we came home I could tell that all the food and water had been looked after! I especially appreciated her taking the time to play with the dogs too! Definitely will hire her again!”
“My cats loved Savannah and the peace of mind I felt while I was away was amazing! While they crew was happy to see us return it was clear they were cared for AND given plenty of attention and had a great time while we were away! Will definitely use Savannah again!”
“I am always so happy when Krysten takes care of my cat Wolfy. I always know he is in loving and caring hands. She not only takes care of him, but also brings in my mail and any other needs Wolfy or I may have. My home looks so clean and untouched when I come home, and Wolfy is calm and content. It gives me a sense of calm during my times away. I highly recommend Krysten when searching for a pet sitter. A+++++++++++++++++++”
“Dina was very reliable, caring and an effective communicator before, during and after 6-day check ins with my cat. I had full confidence in her during that time period (which included admin of medication) that my cat was well cared for. I will use Dina’s services for any future need.”
“Shayla was an awesome cat sitter for almost ten days including over the 4th of July! She really gave our cat a lot of attention and spent time with him. I appreciated that she stayed on top of his water fountain and of course appreciated all the photos and updates. I had zero worries while we were traveling out of state! I also appreciated when she alerted me to a problem with our AC in the house so I could get it taken care of quickly. I will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend you book with her!”
“Elizabeth was an amazing pet sitter for our two kitties! She made sure to not only give specialized play time with our younger cat, but also gave space to our older shy cat. Both cats seemed to love being around her and we would love to have her catsit for us again!”
“Laura did a great job looking after our 2 cats while we were out of town. We received updates every morning and when we came home the cats were healthy and happy. One of them is extremely shy and normally will hide when strangers are here. When Laura came to meet them prior to our leaving the cat came out right away and meowed at her so that was a good sign she would be fine with Laura. I am always so nervous leaving them. They are sweet cats. Thank you Laura for looking after them!”
“Emily provided my cats with exceptional care. Emily is terrific with communicating and providing updates. She went out of her way to make sure their food was portioned (even though I bought the incorrect sized can) and kept their fountain topped off. I also really appreciated her noting their behavior, as both of my cats are older. All in all going away is stressful because I’m concerned with leaving my cats behind. Emily provided piece of mind. She cared for them and allowed me to relax. First time user of Roamer and based on my experience with Emily I’d highly recommend.”

“Kelly was fantastic with our playful boy Moose! She and her family are so sweet, plus their older pups, for keeping up with our guy. She sent many updates throughout the day and our pup came home happy and tired. Would 100% recommend and plan to have him visit again in the future.”
“Once again Myron provided the best place for Cooper he was happy and safe and we could not be more pleases with the ease in which Myron helps with scheduling. I have such confidence in Myron and Cooper has a friend. Thank you for taking such good care of our Cooper.”
About: I've lived with dogs all of my life. Friends and family have relied on me and my wife to take care of their pets many times. We have done it all, from bathing and walks to giving medication. We have a Shar Pei, Labrador mix, Nova, and she is the sweetest, non-aggressive, playful dog you'll meet. Nova gets bi-weekly social dog training so she is comfortable with new dogs and people. We would love to care for dogs that are also comfortable with children as we have two young kids. They are both comfortable with dogs and respectful of their space and varying needs. I work full-time from home and my wife works part-time. We have plenty of time to play with your pup and keep them feeling loved. We give frequent potty breaks, but please let us know if you have a specific potty schedule. We offer a lot of play time and our backyard is the best for fetch. We are available weekdays and most weekends. We look forward to taking care of your day care and boarding needs. We have a very large, fenced yard for the dogs to run and play that includes a huge grass area. We can accommodate any special exercise requests, such as walking schedules. We have two crates in our home that are available for our guests to use, but we encourage you to bring anything that may help your dog feel the most comfortable. We'd be happy to accommodate space for these items. We love to know how your dog likes to play and any special needs they may have so that we may make it the most comfortable stay for them...a home away from home!
“Sophia was great! She communicated everytime I texted her. CJ had a blast, she said he played with the other doggies. He came home tired & is fast a sleep. Would definitely recommend!”
“Lindsey has been an amazing sitter for our 9yo doggo. She’s incredibly attentive and flexible with us as clients and is very clearly an animal lover. Her number one concerns are comfort and safety and we so appreciate it. We feel so at ease leaving our girl with her for day care!”
About: *IMPORTANT SUMMER INFO* I do not walk dogs when temps are over 95 during the day. I will walk up to 100 degrees when the sun is not out (early morning or after sunset). Walks will change to drop-ins (no change in price) if temps exceed this. We are a dog loving family and welcome small to medium size dogs for doggy daycare. Pam is available for dog walking and drop-ins on weekdays. For daycare, we have 3 resident dogs who will welcome your pooch to the pack, so yours should be good with other dogs. Our backyard is fully fenced, with a pool that your pup can cool off in. **The dogs are fully supervised any time they have access to the pool.** Pam works solely from home and Joe works in ministry just two miles away. Our schedules allow us to show your fur baby a great time and all the love and attention it will need while you are away for the day. Please let us know if you have any questions about your pup's needs. We look forward to welcoming them to our pack! ~Pam & Joe Why I love dog sitting I grew up with cats but fell in love with dogs when I got my first one, Maggie, in my twenties. Maggie was a Sheltie and was my companion through a lot of life's ups and downs. In 2010, I adopted Snickers & Itty Bitty, a malkie and care-tzu. Maggie, Snickers and Itty Bitty all lived to 15 years old, but we would have loved many more years with them. We now have Toby, a small mixed breed who is 10, Lucky, a Maltipoo, who was rehomed to us, and Ginger, a cavapoo princess who we were blessed to find through a rescue. About my yard Our backyard is fully fenced and landscaped. We have a pool and your dog is welcome to swim, or cool off on the baja step, if they like. We have a grass side yard that is a designated potty area for the pups. Pam works part-time from home and Joe works just 2 miles away. While Pam is home working, our 3 resident fur babies are never far away, sometimes even sleeping on her lap or desk. We have a gate that keeps dogs from accessing the front door. Our front door and back doors both have security screens, so if we open the door they can't run out. Our back yard is fully fenced and double fenced on the one side that opens to the front yard/street.

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I can remember. Not really dogs but family to me. From walking to bathing to brushing they are my kids. I’m retired now so having someone depend on me is comforting. They keep me young and they give so much love. I love doggie kisses! However, I would prefer not to take dogs in the last months of their life. I have a fenced yard and 2 dogs - my husband and I walk the dogs we play with them and they sleep with us.
“Awesome family!!? very caring, understanding, and helpful…last minute booking….would definitely trust anytime to take good care of my furry child????Thank You…”
About: I have been taking care of pets of all kinds my entire life. I have always had dogs and cats in our home. Currently we have a Golden Retriever, Piper, and A long Haired Siamese, Kylo, in our home. Over the last 30 years we have had 5 Golden retrievers, sometimes multiple at once, and 4 cats. Dogs and Cats give me great pleasure and are ultra important in my life. If you are a dog and cat lover then you are my kind of people. I have just recently retired and this is the perfect gig for me. They get Walked, I get walked, They Play, I play, They get loved, I get loved.

About: I currently have a lab mix fur baby named Boris. I've also raised a German shepherd and a Keeshond. I give Boris lots of love, walks, and trips to the dog park, and I would love to care for your fur baby the same way. I'm open to caring for your loved one with or without mine on walks or at the dog park. I also love cats and would be happy to spend time playing, cuddling, or just making sure they are well fed. I love all animals and feel I connect with them. I'm responsible, reliable, and honest. I'm looking to change my career - yes, this late in life - to do something I've always wanted to do: share my love with as many fur babies as possible. You can count on me to provide friendly, fun, and responsible care for your fur baby! I am retired. My schedule is pretty open and flexible. I walk my dog. I also do social activities in my community 2 times a week. I can walk, sit and visit, feed and water your fur babies. I'm open to extra duties inside your home. I love to pet, cuddle and play.
“Kysten was excellent!! She was very thorough communicating with me about her visits. Which made me feel very comfortable to know that Bosley (who is 16) was well taken care of. Thanks again!!!”

About: I'm passionate about providing top-notch care for your furry friends! With 10 years of dog-sitting experience and a lifetime of growing up with dogs, I bring a deep love for canines and a wealth of knowledge to ensure your pets are happy and well-cared for. I specialize in staying active with dogs, whether it's long walks, playtime, or engaging activities tailored to their energy levels. I have extensive experience with both senior dogs and puppies, understanding their unique needs and providing the extra care they require. As the proud owner of two well-trained, large-breed dogs who get along great with others, I know how to foster a positive and safe environment. I'm also skilled at administering medication and accommodating any special needs your dog may have. Let me give your pup the love, attention, and care they deserve! As a passionate pet caregiver, I seamlessly integrate dog and cat care into my daily and weekly routine to ensure your furry friends receive the exercise, attention, and love they need. My schedule is structured to prioritize their well-being while maintaining flexibility to meet their unique needs. **Daily Routine:** Each morning, I start with a brisk walk or play session for dogs, depending on their energy levels, to get their exercise in early. For cats, I engage them with interactive toys. Throughout the day, I provide multiple check-ins, including feeding, fresh water, and potty breaks for dogs or litter box maintenance for cats. I make time for extra cuddles, grooming, or training sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. If medication is required, I administer it precisely as instructed. Evenings include another walk or playtime, ensuring dogs get ample exercise (at least 1-2 hours total daily) and cats receive focused attention to keep them content. Before bedtime, I ensure they’re settled with a calm environment, often spending quality time to reinforce our bond. **Weekly Routine:** On a weekly basis, I plan longer adventures for dogs, such as hikes or visits to dog-friendly parks (with owner approval), to mix up their exercise routine and provide new stimuli. For cats, I rotate toys and introduce enrichment activities. I schedule deep cleaning of pet areas, such as bedding or litter boxes, to maintain a hygienic space. My two well-trained, large-breed dogs, who are great with other pets, join in group activities when appropriate, fostering socialization for dogs or providing a calm presence for cats. I also set aside time to communicate with pet owners, sending updates or photos to keep them connected. My 10 years of experience and lifelong background with pets allow me to adapt my routine to accommodate senior pets or puppies/kittens, ensuring they get the extra care they need. By weaving pet care into my daily and weekly rhythm, I guarantee your dog or cat receives abundant exercise, personalized attention, and a nurturing environment, all while keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. Safety and trust are two very important things, especially when talking about pets. I’ve grown up with so many different kinds of animals, and each one of them have had different personalities! So if your dog is energetic, shy, skittish, or even lazy… I will take all necessary precautions to make sure your pet feels safe and anxious free! Especially if im in their home, dogs and cats can get very territorial and im fully prepared for any situation!

I’m reliable, calm in new situations, and genuinely enjoy caring for animals—not just watching them. ⸻ 💬 Closing Line I’d love to meet you and your pet—feel free to reach out with any questions! ⸻ Optional Add-On (if true for you) * “Available for early morning, evening, and weekend care” * “Comfortable administering basic medications if instructions are provided” I offer full availability—any day, any time—and am committed to being 100% reliable. I prioritize punctuality, consistency, and clear communication, ensuring pets are cared for exactly as instructed and owners have peace of mind. I take care of pets in their own homes so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I stick to their normal routine—feeding, cleaning, playtime, and attention—and make sure they feel safe and relaxed. I treat both the pets and the home with respect and always keep owners updated.
About: Hi I’m Kylea! I’m a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom and lifelong animal lover. Animals truly bring me so much joy and happiness and I would love to care for yours! While in my care, your pet(s) will receive tons of love, attention, playtime, and snuggles. Daily updates will be given as well as pictures! I have a lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small pets, and I will follow any special feeding schedules. I can administer medications if needed, and will accommodate unique care instructions. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I can care for any age whether it’s a puppy and still potty training or a senior dog that needs assistance and gentle care. I know how important our pets are—they’re family. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet(s) is receiving the best care possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing pet(s) and give them a fun, loving home away from home! 🐾💕 I will always be home to love and care for your pet(s). Your pet(s) is my top priority and your request is highly respected for the care of your sweet pet(s). During the AZ summer, dogs will remain inside for the majority of the day but will still get tons of playtime because in our home- we play ball in the house! :) Your pet(s) will have frequent potty breaks and tons of playtime outside when the weather isn’t extremely hot to prevent your sweet pet(s) from being overheated. I have a double fenced yard and tons of space for your pet to play. Artificial grass, a doggie pool for those dogs who love to play in water, tons of toys, an outdoor cooler with pump, & misters and fans (though dogs will never be left outside for a long period of time). As for cats- I will keep them separated in their own, quiet space with their own litter box, food, water, and accessories until they seem to feel comfortable. Then I will introduce the cat(s) slowly to the other cats and the to home.
“Elizabeth has been super clutch for me and even let me book an additional day last minute! I hope to make her my reoccuring dog walker. She is very attentive, responds very promptly and my dog seems to enjoy her. She has even sent me pictures of my dog to reassure me he is doing great (since he is a newer rescue). Thank you Elizabeth!!!!”

“Stephanie was very gracious and was understanding when my plane was delayed on my return. My dog was glad to see me, but not anxious when I picked her up. She obviously enjoyed her stay and was well cared for. The house and yard are immaculate, and her children loved having my dog around. I highly recommend Stephanie.”
“Sierra and Jason thank you for taking care of my Lilly and providing me with updates along with pictures. You showed my fur baby compassion when she was triggered by the storm. I truly appreciate that and would recommend your services to everyone! Thank you!”
“Absolutely wonderful sitter. He replied quickly to both my boyfriend and my messages, allowed us to do a home visit, and sent regular photos and updates for our dog's 5-day stay! He took him to the park, regular walks, was extremely responsive, and even taught Scout some new tricks! Their home and dog, Shelby were amazing and I can not recommend Mitch and his wife enough!”
“Francesca took amazing care of our fur baby, Ziggy, during his 4-day stay. She was caring, attentive, sent pics and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. Ziggy came home happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Francesca to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate boarding provider. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Ziggy—we will definitely book with you again!”
“As always, Nick and Veronica and the boys are the best!!!! We are so very happy we found them. Maggie, our pup, loves this home and really would rather stay (we think)…. However, she is always happy to get there and always happy to come home. Thank you Nick and Veronica for being great Rover peeps!”
“Kimberly was amazing! She welcomed us into her home at drop off and was so patient with this anxious pet mama. Marty had a great time and we got lots of pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

“Molly had a GREAT time… she spent 3 days there and had so many new experiences. I would definitely recommend Sherrie. She sent me pictures and kept me updated with how she did and I was never worried. Will definitely use her again.”
“From the moment we dropped off Scorch, Chuck was friendly and welcoming. Communication throughout was excellent, with regular updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We felt confident leaving Scorch in such a clean and secure environment. Scorch came home happy and well taken care of, which really says it all. We'll definitely be using Chuck's services again!”
“Very happy with the care Milo got while we were out of town! Deanna sent pictures and kept me posted on how he was doing which I greatly appreciated. leaving Milo with someone else is always hard but knowing he was in good hands helped. I’d definitely use Deanna again !”
“Linda was absolutely wonderful and truly saved us over the Fourth of July weekend when we needed a last-minute sitter. She took amazing care of Mela and treated her like she was part of her own family. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mela was in such caring and dependable hands. Linda is reliable, trustworthy, and clearly loves animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and will definitely be reaching out the next time we need a sitter. Thank you so much, Linda!”
“Christina was on time, to and from. Actually, she arrived earlier than scheduled, which helped out even more. She ensured communications, and updates, were maintained. The photos sent by her all shown my Snowy Bella was in safe hands. I forgot a food item, but Christina had no problem going out of her way to get it for her. Having a nice sizeable yard is a huge plus, which we all know. So that was perfect for my Snowy Bella because she is super energetic. Snowy returned home with an incredible smile. Christina's expertise and handling with dogs is for sure recommended by me. As I've informed her, she will be requested in the near future for my Snowy!”
