“Brooke took great care of my baby and my mind was at ease while i was away knowing she was in good hands. I will definitely use her in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a petsitter.”
“Pamela was amazing with Phoebe. She sent me updates on how she was doing daily, which I really appreciated. It was Phoebe's first time away from us, but Pamela made sure she was loved and cared for. Phoebe also had some time with other pups so that made her stay more fun and kept her distracted while we were away. Overall, I would definitely book Pamela again in the future and would recommend her to anyone needing dog sitting, or dog daycare.”
“Radler had a great time being loved by Sergio & Bethany and their sweet family while we were out of town. The meet and greet was a wonderful way to put our mind at ease. We also received the cutest pictures letting us know Radler was happy and well taken care of.”
“Don’t stress about it and book with Huaqing!! I was extremely nervous about leaving my cat, Muffin, with a new person. She’s usually a very timid and shy cat but with that updates Huaqing sent, I could see she was in caring hands!! Huaqing helped me out in a tough time/very last minute booking and I am very grateful. I definitely plan on reaching out to her again if I’m in need of a sitter.”
“Jackie did an excellent job taking care of our dog when we went out of town. She always kept us updated and sent us pictures of our dog having a great time at her house. I felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in Jackie’s care and knew that he was getting quality care and attention. I highly recommend Jackie and will definitely book with her again the next time we need someone to watch our little dog.”
“Highly recommend Kelly! She was very communicative and sent plenty of photos during Tony’s stay. When our flight was delayed super late coming back, she was very flexible and willing to help us. We ultimately had a friend grab the little guy, but we appreciated how understanding she was. Thank you again!!”
“She was wonderful!!! Not only did she handle my chaotic energy when I showed up (doesn’t happen often but that day was something else) she was also so attentive to my dog and love him like her own. She sent me updates and pictures and even dropped him off at my cousins for me, which I greatly appreciated! This was my 1st time leaving him alone with someone I have never met and I was honestly never stressed about what was going on or if he was being loved or taken care of well! She did absolutely amazing!! My dog has some quirks but they never seemed to bother her! Will definitely rebook next time I need a sitter and would 110% recommend her to anyone!”
“Never have I had my dog love someone like Marina. She knows how to work with dogs and turn them into sweethearts. I have tried so many different sitters and nobody compares to Marina. She put me at ease all week by sending me videos and giving me updates about my Cassie. Her yard is just incredible with lots of trees, shade, and grass for the dogs to play. She's the best and deserves 6 stars not 5. Thank you again.”
“Alani was great. She was responsive and sent updates regularly. Will definitely book with her again. This was my first time using rover and we had to book last minute and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Highly recommend using Alani to care for your furry friends!”
“Eric was wonderful with our dog! He was very thoughtful and proactive, reaching out beforehand to understand all aspects of her care and routine. During the stay, he sent regular updates and great photos, which helped us feel completely at ease. When my travel plans changed due to flight delays, Eric was incredibly flexible and responsible in adjusting to the situation. Nyla was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, highly recommend!”
“Kim is the best! She took care of my dogs many times over the past year. She treated them like family and took them on a bunch of fun outings while they were with her. Highly recommend!”
“Christian and Hana were very nice and took great care of my dog Oreo! I got daily updates and photos about how he was doing. They gave him lots of attention and he seemed very happy when I picked him up.”
“Kelly took exceptional care of my baby; her home was clean and comfortable, the people were friendly and very clearly experienced pet sitters. I got pictures and video updates regularly which were very appreciated. The girls seemed to be very gentle with my dog.”
“Jackson had a wonderful time! The videos Ash sent each day showed a very happy pup, his tail wagging a mile a minute and him having a blast playing with other dogs. Will definitely book with Ash again. In fact I have another booking with her in a few days. I know Jackson is in very good hands with her. I highly recommend.”
“We have booked with Gabriela many times and she has always been amazing. In addition to being great with our dog, she has been very communicative, managed giving our dog pills, and overall very easy to work with. A few times we have had to amend our pick up times due to flight changes and she has always been gracious and accommodating. We would highly recommend her.”
“Our dog had a wonderful time. She sent us photos every day and let us know how our dog was doing. She even gave him a bath. Prior to picking him up. Christina was absolutely wonderful. We will definitely use her again”
“Ashley was an excellent sitter! It was my first time using her, and the meet and greet went well. My pup stayed with her for a week and she was very responsive, and communicated really well. I felt like she genuinely cared about my dog and he seemed well taken care of. Would highly recommend.”
“I am so thankful for Cindy and her care of Roxy! I was so nervous to leave her while we went out of town, but Cindy was an expert at making Roxy welcomed and relaxed. With updates through the weekend, I knew Roxy was in great hands! Thank you again, Cindy!”

“Sara is so sweet and professional! She’s always on time, sends me the best pictures and reports and she even got my grumpy kitty to roll and relax around her. It gives me such a peace of mind to travel knowing that my furry baby is very well taken care of. I can’t recommend Sara enough 🥰”
“I can't recommend Danielle and Kyle enough! They took amazing care of my cat, Lord Tywin, while I was away. They were incredibly attentive, always responding right away and sending the cutest updates with each visit. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was being well-loved and in such good hands. I'll definitely be booking with them again”
About: I grew up taking care of 6 cats from childhood to adulthood. I offer drop in visits for both cats and dogs! I currently only own a dog as I wanted a pet to fit my active lifestyle, but would love to spend time taking care of your cats and kittens :) I am available for drop in cat visits.
“This was the longest I left my bunny, and Estefany made me felt so at ease as a return sitter. She is excellent at communicating and was so kind with lots of travel changes I had along the way. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“10/10 Experience !! Sophia did such a phenomenal job for the week she watched my kitties- the daily updates was really nice, and the many photos also proved to be such a comfort! My girl cat Ambrosia can be pretty skittish with visitors, and it was such a relief to hear that around day 3, she was warming up quite nicely to Sophia (aka, not running to another room like a rocket lol). I've got some summer trips planned and will definitely be booking again!”
“This is the second time I have used Teresa T. She has been great. I truly appreciate her passion for what she does. I feel my fur babies are in good hands with her. I would definitely use and recommend her again.”
About: I LOVE animals, I have a dog and birds who I have been taking care of since I was a kid. I have experience pet sitting for family and friends, so I am very comfortable taking care of animals. I have always been the type of person who hangs out with the dog instead of people at parties, so spending time with animals makes me genuinely happy! I am looking for a way to make some extra money during the summer while I’m in nursing school, so I am available pretty much every day/ all day the next couple months :) When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I like to make sure they are comfortable, and that they are kept on a similar routine as they normally are. I’ll provide fresh food and water, let them outside, give them attention, and clean up as needed. I also pay attention to any extra instructions given by the owner.
“Our cats were in good hands with Steph when we went out of town! She was punctual and provided good communication and many pictures. I would highly recommend Steph’s services!”
“I couldn't be more pleased with Claire’s care for my cat Oscar while I was away for a few days. She was incredibly reliable, always showing up on time and keeping me updated with adorable photos of Oscar. Not only did she make sure he was well-fed and his litter box was clean, but her polite and friendly attitude made the whole experience stress-free. It was clear Oscar felt comfortable with her, and I had total peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. I highly recommend Claire to anyone in need of a responsible and caring pet sitter!”
“Kristi took wonderful care of Ollie while I was out of the country. I appreciated all the pictures and even the lengths she went to to help clean up a mess he made. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Abigail was amazing! We had great communication and she was so good with my cats! She’s kind and very understanding, I would definitely book again!!”
“Sarah did a great job in taking care of my elderly cat while I was away. She sent multiple updates and photos daily giving me peace of mind that Layla was healthy and happy. Layla required antibiotics for a UTI just days before I was to leave and Sarah didn’t bat an eye about adding the medication to the routine. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Olivia did a great job pet sitting for us. She was reliable, attentive, and took excellent care of our pets. She also communicated very well throughout the entire time, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her pet sit again.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - East Rio
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“Danielle and Kyle were so accommodating to my hectic day and change of plans. My dog has a lot of energy and they seemed to handle her just fine. My pupster was clearly worn out as she went straight to bed once we got home. That’s exactly what I’m looking for when it comes to a sitter and a day experience for her, somewhere where she will have another awesome dog to play with, kind (and command following hosts), and just an overall loving and welcome experience. Will definitely use them again! My pup was soooooo happy with her experience and so was I!”
“Pamela takes such good care of my miniature schnauzer puppy! She takes her on walks every morning and has a big backyard for the pups to play in. Pamela is dependable and reliable!”
About: Your dog will be treated like family while staying in our home. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every dog in my care. One thing that sets my care apart is that I only accept one family's booking at a time. While I may care for multiple dogs from the same household, I do not mix dogs from different families. This allows me to provide more individualized attention, maintain a calm environment, and ensure your dog feels safe and comfortable during their stay. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs, including senior dogs and dogs requiring oral or injectable medications. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a calm place to relax, I tailor their stay to what makes them most comfortable. While we live in an apartment, your dog will receive multiple daily walks, exercise, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy staying active and make sure dogs in my care get the physical activity and enrichment they need. My son and I love spending time with dogs, and Rover has become a wonderful way for us to share that love while helping pet parents feel confident their pets are being cared for. Since we do not currently have pets of our own, visiting dogs receive lots of individualized attention during their stay. I know being away from your dog can be stressful, so I provide regular photo updates and communication throughout their visit. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. Before booking, I always encourage a meet-and-greet so we can make sure we're a great fit for each other. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Pets in my care receive plenty of attention and are not left alone for extended periods. Dogs receive multiple daily walks and exercise tailored to their age, energy level, and needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected to your pet while you're away. Because I only accept one family's pets at a time, I am able to focus on providing individualized care and maintaining a calm, comfortable environment for each guest. I only accept one family’s pets at a time, creating a calm, safe environment where each pet receives personalized attention, comfort, and loving care.
“Tasha was very caring and conscientious - she took excellent care of Lucy, provided us with regular updates, and was very pleasant and reliable to communicate with. We especially appreciated how calm she and her household is, and that she got to know our dog as an individual special being, not just ‘a dog’. I would highly recommend Tasha to anyone looking for a safe, loving caretaker for their furry family member.”
“Madison and Austin took great care of our dog Blake when we needed to both be at work for the day. Blake can be anxious around new people, and they were attentive to that and made sure we brought some of Blake's things (pad/blanket, toys, treats) so that they could make him comfortable. Blake had a great day with them and settled in and Madison provided updates throughout the day to let us know how it was going. And of course the next time Blake saw Madison and Austin he was jumping up and shaking his body all over to greet his new friends. We appreciated how patient they were with Blake (and us) and highly recommend them to take care of your dog.”
About: Hi there! My name is Eden, and dogs have been my whole world for years. 🐾 I’m an experienced trainer who also offers safe, structured, and loving boarding in my home. Because of the setup here, pups do need to be comfortable being in a kennel/crate at times. If your dog isn’t fully kennel trained yet (like a young puppy), that’s totally okay — I just ask that they can go into a kennel without any aggressive behavior so everyone stays safe. While your dog is staying with me, they’ll enjoy: ✨ A little bit of training and structure woven into their routine ✨ Learning manners and practicing calm behavior ✨ Daily enrichment and exercise ✨ Plenty of love, playtime, and cuddles ✨ Daily updates so you know how they’re doing My goal is to make boarding feel less stressful and more like a safe, structured staycation where your dog is cared for like family. I work from home training dogs and doing phone consultations, so I’m home the majority of the day with the pups. The only times I’m briefly away are for church on Sunday mornings (about 9:30–10:30) and the gym on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings for about an hour. During those short times, all dogs are safely kenneled with fresh water, A/C, and cameras for monitoring, so they’re always safe and comfortable. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I have a secure fenced yard and kennel space in my house. Dogs staying with me do need to be comfortable being kenneled at times, or at least able to go into a kennel without aggression (puppies still learning are absolutely fine!). While boarding here, dogs enjoy structure, manners practice, daily enrichment, exercise, and lots of love — plus daily updates so you feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I’ve had a Yorkie named Cooper since I was young and he currently lives with my parents back in Cleveland. I love dogs so much and I believe you should take care of dogs like you do your kids! I work fully remote, so I will be at home and play with the dogs all day! I will show them love and be able to feed them and take them to the bathroom whenever they need it! I also have a dog park at my apartment and a park in walking distance! I will play or walk the dogs whenever they need it, I love to exercise and move around! They will never not be shown love!
About: I am an experienced trainer and dog sitter and I enjoy being around all the dogs. Looking forward to watching or training your doggies soon! I care for two dogs every day and I enjoy taking them out on trips! I live on tempe town lake which provides a good area for dogs to run around and enjoy themselves I watch over my two dogs daily and I work from home. I make sure they go out at least three times a day and walk with other dogs often
About: I have years of pet sitting and pet boarding experience. I have given services for both dogs and cats even kittens. I feel comfortable with various sizes of pets and pets with different temper. I’m a fast learner and I am very patient when it comes to animals. I have also been a volunteer at R.A.I.N animal rescue for 3 years. I like dedicating my time to help with adoption events at PetSmart. I am a huge animal lover and will make sure your pets get well taken care of with love !!!! I am open to different services and I can be flexible to meet your needs. Pls contact me if you have any questions. Love to get to know your fur babies! I’m here to help!!:) I work remotely and have plenty of time and space for your pets.

Open backyard with fresh grass for breaks and walks.
“My pup had a great time with her Bear. I picked up Gavroche and he immediately went to sleep. Which to me, says he had a great day ;). Jolene was easy to work with a very prompt to respond. :)”
About: Hey there, my name is Estefany. I am a full time student at GCU. My schedule revolves a lot around school but I love checking on pets during my free time! I can take short notice requests as early as same day visits as long as I don’t have much going on! When it comes to boarding pets I try to do mostly pets that are crate trained so they are safe at times that I’m not home. Your pet’s safety is my upmost priority! I have worked with many animals and many different personalities. Currently, I offer drop in visits and walks with no meet and greets required. I am not currently offering house sitting because I don’t think I have the free time your pets deserve when they have someone caring for them at their house!
“David was absolutely amazing with our lab puppy! He treated our dog like his own and kept us updated throughout the day with how he was doing. Our pup came home happy and tired from a day full of play :) We will definitely be using him again in the near future!”
About: I grew up with 3 cats in my household and my family also fostered dogs so I have experience with many different animals. Hire me! I work remote and live in a community with multiple dog park areas. I will make sure your pet is comfortable and well taken care of by my side! I live in a two story condo in a gated area. I also have multiple sleeping areas in my condo. Plus, there are multiple outside areas for pets around my neighborhood. Your pet will be safe and sound here.
“Loki really enjoyed his stay with Brittany on 5.21.26. Thank you so much for being able to sit with him at the last minute. I will definitely reach out again if I need someone to watch him again.”
“I was so nervous to leave my Frenchie Hank with a new sitter but Rachael is the absolute BEST! I love that she’s fully dedicated to taking full-time care of her fur-clients! Her setup is perfect and Hank had the best time. Lots of photos and videos and so much one on one attention. I have already booked her for my next trip. Definitely five stars and worth every penny!”
“Charlie was awesome with Baxter. He was really accommodating of my crazy schedule. Baxter came home played out, exercised and, most importantly, happy. Really appreciate it!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have a deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs. I’ve raised my own Australian Cattle Dog, Charlie, since she was 9 weeks old, and I frequently watch my parents’ Australian Shepherd, Tanner. I know how important trust and consistency are, and I treat every dog like my own—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I’ve had my Australian Cattle Dog, Charlie, since she was a puppy, and I used to have a cat named Mitch, so I understand the responsibilities and attention pets need to stay happy and healthy. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit in walks, drop-ins, and quality time with other pets. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I’m reliable, responsive, and treat every pet with the same care and consistency I give my own. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I give my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust while you’re away, and I take that responsibility seriously. From keeping your pets happy and comfortable to maintaining your space just the way you left it, I make sure everything is handled with attention and care.

“Teresa has been absolutely wonderful with Stella, has walked her every day from 8 weeks to 6 months around lunch to help my husband and I with our work schedule. She provides clear communication and plenty of pictures and has been very flexible with our work schedules. My dog loves her! Would highly recommend her.”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats of every kind. I’ve raised puppies and kittens and older animals. I’ve potty trained and I love teaching new tricks! I am a full time student in college at ASU but my schedule is very open. I only have two classes at most on select days which give me a lot of free time to take care of your fur baby. I will mainly be providing service outside of my home but I like to be active and fun so I will be able to provide my full attention.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life. My family had a two high energy dogs growing up and even from a young age I would enjoy caring for the two of them. After they passed, I volunteered at my local humane society, working mainly with dogs. When I was about 17, I convinced my family to adopt a puppy. I taught him basic commands, potty training, and basic leash skills. I currently own a cat who is equal parts sweetheart and menace. Being tasked with raising a kitten turned out to have a massive learning curve, but he is absolutely spoiled with playtime, toys, and treats. He is currently being leash trained and we’re working on anxiety associated with his crate. I have a PRN position at a children’s hospital, so I have plenty of time to check in on your baby/babies. I work a short Monday shift from 12-4PM. I have a hybrid pharmacy schedule, so I am able to attend classes from wherever I am. I care for all pets with love and respect. The main goal is to establish trust with new pets by allowing them to approach me with interest on their own terms, even if it takes a while. Providing pets with playtime and attention is a priority after their daily basic needs are met. I believe in gentle correction or making an activity more interesting with treats or a favorite toy when a pet is acting up or disinterested.

About: I have taken care of various animals throughout my life! I am a volunteer at the humane society, so I’m around dogs a lot! I love animals so much and enjoy taking care of them a lot! I am very good with dogs in particular! I was able to train my puppy to listen to many commands! I am a student at Coconino Community College, but I only have 2 classes a day Mon-Thurs and none of them are late classes! I also have time in between my classes on Mondays and Wednesdays(: I live in an apartment so I do not have a yard, but my apartment backs up to a forest area so it would be easy to take the dogs to play! There are also grassy areas around my apartment complex and parks nearby(: I’m a college student at Coconino Community College so I have classes Monday-Thursday but, my classes are only about an hour each and I only have 2 each day so I have lots of time to take care of any doggies! I live at an apartment so I do not have a yard but there is a foresty area all around the complex and I have a little patio area! There are also parks nearby, so I would be able to give the dogs plenty of time and areas to play!
About: Hello! So nice to meet you. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and your pet(s)! My first name is Taylor, but please call me Marie (my middle and preferred name). A bit about my background: I am Fear Free Level 3 Certified (........), RECOVER Initiative CPR-Certified (........ -- I just renewed for 2026), and I am insured as a Pet Sitter / Dog Walker through Pet Care Insurance. I'm currently enrolled (2026) in Penn Foster's Vet Tech Associate's Degree Program. I graduated with a 4.0 from Pima Medical Institute, Phoenix, in December 2020 from the Veterinary Assistant Program. I graduated magna cum laude ("with great praise") from ASU in 2015 with a BA in Creative Writing and a second BA in French linguistics/translation/literature. I also completed one semester of the Pre-Veterinary Medicine program at ASU. I've worked for various Small Animal vet clinics on and off since 2018. I have been working with animals in some capacity since 2010 (technically years earlier, since I used to volunteer at our local humane society in elementary and middle school as a kid), and I’ve had my own pets since I was ~5 years old. I worked previously for Rover from July 2017 to May 2021, and took a hiatus because I moved, but unfortunately I no longer have my original Rover profile (Was listed as "Taylor E.", first name and maiden name initial). I had a 5-star rating from 35 people who were pleased with my pet care and communication and left positive reviews (thank you so much!!!) and had several repeat clients -- Please see screenshots of my previous Rover account reviews in my photo gallery. I love working for Rover, so I’m glad to be back! I am competent, thorough, communicative, responsible, punctual, respectful, honest, and have integrity. You can be assured that your pet(s) will be safe with me. I give periodic written updates with photos, I follow instructions carefully, I take attentive notes about your pet from your description and my own observations, I am focused and attentive when caring for your pet(s), and I respond promptly to messages. For pet sitting in your home, I am very tidy/respectful and will leave your home as clean as when I arrived, and I stay in only the designated area(s) and only touch what I need to (please show me where you keep cleaning supplies and your pets’ food or medications, etc.). I pick up after your pet and bring my own dog waste bags, leads, collapsible water bowl, and first aid kit, just in case. I pay attention to details, like the temperature (air/ground) being safe for walks. My preference is to suggest a “Meet-and-Greet” (whenever possible. I do typically accept short-notice requests where this may not be logistically possible) because it’s important to me that you AND your pet are comfortable with me (and I you). I am loyal and love to have repeat clients, but I also enjoy taking on one-time requests, I’m happy to help. I try to keep a pet’s routine as familiar as possible for their comfort and your peace of mind. I have the experience to be able to care for certain special needs, and I will communicate with you honestly (at all times) if I feel a request/booking is beyond my scope of experience because my priority is your pet's safety and wellbeing and I feel they should be matched with the best possible carer. I have worked with a variety of cats/dogs of different ages, abilities/needs/conditions, sizes, and breeds, as both a veterinary assistant and pet sitter. As an important DISCLAIMER: While I do have years of vet assistant experience and formal vet assistant education, I am not a Veterinarian and not a CVT (i.e., I am not licensed to practice veterinary medicine); I can only care for your pet in the capacity as a pet sitter / dog walker and cannot provide medical care or diagnose or prognose, etc. I will always refer you to your local Vet for that type of care and will not do anything outside of my scope of expertise for the safety of your pet (and to abide by the law). In the event of an emergency I can provide first aid/CPR and transport your pet to the vet. About our pets at home: My husband and I have two wonderful cats (1 adopted, 1 we rescued) and two wonderful dogs (adopted by us from the humane society after they were rescued from dire situations, respectively; one of which is a tripod and one is a disabled senior that wears diapers) -- I gravitate especially towards rescues and seniors that need a little extra care, and I especially love cats. Every pet is so special and deserves a safe and happy home! Thank you so much for your consideration. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! -- Marie When receiving a booking request, I will communicate in detail about my availability to ensure it meets your expectations and your pet's needs. I’m a transparent and thorough communicator, and I’ll let you know of any prior commitments that I may have during a house stay request. I also do real-time check-ins/updates, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing, what we’re up to, and when I am present and when I leave your home. My day-to-day work/school is remote and flexible, so I can choose my own hours and follow your pet’s daily routine (waking/sleeping/feeding, etc.), and give them lots of both active, attentive quality time (undivided attention playing with them, walking them, petting them, brushing them, caring for them, etc.) and hangout time (for example, sitting on the couch together). Whenever possible, I can take short-notice and same-day requests. I have evening classes most weekdays for ~2-4 hours, depending on the day, and occasional performances on weekends, but typically no other scheduling commitments from May to September annually. From September through May (9 months, Fall to Summer), I am unavailable Saturdays and some Fridays (mostly First Fridays) due to our performance schedule. For a healthy pet that can be safely left alone, I still always spend as much time with them as possible and only leave the house for meals (and/or can bring food) and/or class, an occasional errand, depending on how long the stay is. I arrive well-prepared to minimize the need to exit the home. I will discuss my availability and your pet's needs in detail before accepting a booking to be sure it is mutually a good fit. For any booking, your pet’s care and safety is my primary responsibility and I take my duty of supervision and care with the utmost seriousness (don’t worry, I’m also fun!). I also care deeply for their emotional well being, so while I have to be realistic about my own schedule and needs (my classes, the need to eat, etc.), I don’t leave them unattended or lonely for any longer than I have to. In your home or on a dog-walk, I will give your pet(s) my full attention to their safety, well-being, and happiness. I am consistent and committed to staying up to date on the latest behavioral and scientific/medical knowledge. I am thorough and I carefully follow directions and will ask for clarification if needed to ensure I am prepared for your pet's specific care. I am experienced and knowledgeable, and you can trust me in your home and with your precious pets. If they have a special need that I am not qualified for handling or have experience with, I will be honest and not overstate my skills (I want your pet to be in great hands with the best fit possible as much as you do). I am gentle, calm, and kind, and can also be silly/fun/playful/energetic, or very quiet; I try to adapt to your pet’s personality, comfort, and needs. I've worked with a range of pets, from quiet seniors and calm cats to rambunctious puppies, giant-breeds, and anxious pets. And while I love them all, I most especially gravitate towards cats, seniors, and differently-abled pets. I unfortunately cannot care for your pets in my own home (such as daycare or pet sitting in my home) because I have four of my own at home with special needs and routines. (Note that when I’m away on a house stay, they are in great hands with my husband, so while I miss them dearly when gone, my own pets are very loved and looked after.) ***I’m not accepting puppies at this time due to my varied availability/classes, or most Large/Giant breeds only because I’m healing a neck/shoulder injury; I'm not assuming about your pet that they pull on a lead, but I want to ensure I could safely carry/transport them in the event of an emergency.***

“Rohit has dog sat/boarded and day cared our dog Daisy for a year now. There's absolutely no one else I would trust to take care of her more than him. Daisy absolutely loves Dodger and she has a boatload of fun at his house. She always comes home and falls asleep shortly after. Rohit has always been awesome, extremely communicative and super trustworthy. Your dog is in excellent hands!”

About: Hello! My name is Lili 🤩 Taking care of animals is a stress relieving activity for me and one of my favorite hobbies. I'd love to share my free time with your pets! I have taken care of many critters from birds and bunnies to dogs and cats of all sizes and ages, but am extremely willing to care for any type of new animal with proper instruction. I have grown up with and have a few pets of my own so if you have multiple pets, that's no problem! I frequently pet sit cats and dogs for family and friends. I also have experience with senior/special needs dogs, which makes me comfortable and experienced in: -administering medication topically and orally -wound dressing -preparing special/cooked meals -emergency vet visits I’ve also performed tasks and duties for Power Paws Assistance Dogs. This included caring, bathing, feeding, and training litters of puppies. I have volunteered at Tranquility Trail Animal Sanctuary. I have experience with rabbits and the cleaning that is necessary. Most importantly, I have infinite love to give to each and every animal I meet. I am excited to become your dedicated care taker for your family's pets! I am currently working part-time and would love to help out during my extra free time. I am very flexible with scheduling and can accommodate to last minute bookings. Allowing someone in your space is a big deal! I provide thorough updates during the entire visit. This includes photos, updates on playtime, behavior and house updates. Your furry best friend will always be accompanied and watched after.
About: I’ve had many pets growing up my entire life, however, I began being an animal caretaker since 2019. Originally I was a flying nanny so I was never home, but I was transporting dogs and cats all over the United States from state to state. I fell in love with my job until I could no longer travel anymore. Now that I work from home, I still want to be able to continue my journey with caring for animals. Many people do jobs because their parents did it or they do it for the money; but I genuinely do it because I love animals… you might be able to say more than humans. I currently work from home and work when I want in my daily life would really affect my availability to pet sit. I’m basically available every single day of the week unless I make plans. I live in an apartment that has a grass area for animals to handle their business and it is fenced all the way around the apartment. And I have a very sweet cat who was about three years old and she does very well with other animals if your baby needs company.
“She’s been amazing my dog loves her she’s really respectful and sends pictures and updates, it’s so nice to have someone who actually cares about my dogs needs (she brings water for the dog as well) . She really goes above and beyond!!”
“Audrey was amazing taking care of our dogs while we were away on a trip! She was super flexible and accommodating which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend her for any pet care :)”

“Brooke took great care of my baby and my mind was at ease while i was away knowing she was in good hands. I will definitely use her in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a petsitter.”
“Radler had a great time being loved by Sergio & Bethany and their sweet family while we were out of town. The meet and greet was a wonderful way to put our mind at ease. We also received the cutest pictures letting us know Radler was happy and well taken care of.”
“Don’t stress about it and book with Huaqing!! I was extremely nervous about leaving my cat, Muffin, with a new person. She’s usually a very timid and shy cat but with that updates Huaqing sent, I could see she was in caring hands!! Huaqing helped me out in a tough time/very last minute booking and I am very grateful. I definitely plan on reaching out to her again if I’m in need of a sitter.”
“Never have I had my dog love someone like Marina. She knows how to work with dogs and turn them into sweethearts. I have tried so many different sitters and nobody compares to Marina. She put me at ease all week by sending me videos and giving me updates about my Cassie. Her yard is just incredible with lots of trees, shade, and grass for the dogs to play. She's the best and deserves 6 stars not 5. Thank you again.”
“Alani was great. She was responsive and sent updates regularly. Will definitely book with her again. This was my first time using rover and we had to book last minute and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Highly recommend using Alani to care for your furry friends!”
“Eric was wonderful with our dog! He was very thoughtful and proactive, reaching out beforehand to understand all aspects of her care and routine. During the stay, he sent regular updates and great photos, which helped us feel completely at ease. When my travel plans changed due to flight delays, Eric was incredibly flexible and responsible in adjusting to the situation. Nyla was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, highly recommend!”
“Christian and Hana were very nice and took great care of my dog Oreo! I got daily updates and photos about how he was doing. They gave him lots of attention and he seemed very happy when I picked him up.”
“Our dog had a wonderful time. She sent us photos every day and let us know how our dog was doing. She even gave him a bath. Prior to picking him up. Christina was absolutely wonderful. We will definitely use her again”
“Brooklyn had another great stay with you Ezra! It is so reassuring to know that she is so happy & well taken care of when I am away! I knew when I dropped her off & she didn’t even look back at me that she had a good experience & good memories of her last stay 3 months ago! Thank you for everything!! Kathy”
“Veronica was amazing. She took great care of our dog Birdie while we were out of town. She made us feel super comfortable and provided excellent care of our pup. She kept us updated everyday we were gone and even monitored our dogs eating habits as she gets a little anxious when we are away. She went above and beyond to make sure us and our dog were comfortable and we really appreciate her. We will definitely be using her again next time we go out of town.”
“David was so great to Rudy & Leahy. He communicated well, took phenomenal care of them (multiple walks daily) and gave them all the puppy love! I will request David to watch them every time moving forward. He is a great guy who cares about your animals like they are his own.”
“Mitchell is incredible. Not only was he super accommodating, with a fantastic home and environment for my puppy, but he was also consistently communicative, proactive, and most importantly amazing prepared and incredibly knowledgeable. From his overall demeanor and presence, to how he handles and treats not just my puppy but all the dogs he was caring for at the time, you can tell Mitchell knows what he’s doing and does it well. He was able to not just care for, but actually train and help cultivate an incredible environment for my puppy’s growth. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and he will be the only sitter I use moving forward after my first experience with him.”
“Heather kept me updated with photos during Paco’s stay which was very much appreciated!! Everything went smoothly with Heather — beginning with a meet and greet to picking him up when we returned home. And Paco came back to us happy and tired which lets me know he had a fabulous time with Heather and her sweet dog, Zeke! I recommend Heather and would use her again in the future. Thank you!!!!”
“Roxanne is so easy to work with. She asked many questions and clarified to make sure that Beans and I were both comfortable. She cared for Beans like her own. Greatly appreciate the excellent service and care. Her townhome is spacious and there is loads of green grass surrounding the complex. Highly recommend.”
“Jordyn was amazing! She only watches one dog at a time with her French Bulldog, Fran, who is a doll. Jordyn sent multiple photos and videos during my dog's stay. I had some instructions as to feeding times, snacks and a medication which Jordyn understood and followed. She has a nice place with a calm environment. I will definitely have Jordyn watch my little Japanese Chin again. I highly recommend her.”
“Susan and Peter were amazing! Coco was so comfortable and well taken care of at their house. They provided frequent updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We are planning to have Coco visit Susan and Peter again in a few weeks. I would highly recommend them to any pet owner looking for a trusted sitter.”
“Steven was amazing! My dog loved his home, his family, and especially the playtime with his pups. Communication was great from the start — quick replies, super flexible, and very thoughtful. He sent nightly updates while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog came home happy, content, and exhausted from playing his heart out with Steven’s dogs. I highly recommend Steven if you’re looking for a skillful, caring professional who treats your dog like part of the family.”
“Celeste is awesome! Since moving to PHX I have had trouble finding a dog sitter. My dog is not easy by any means, but with her patience she boarded him over thanksgiving week for a fair rate. Anyone considering Celeste, do it!”
