“Pamela was wonderful. She took such great care of Montana and kept me updated with daily texts and pictures. We've already booked her services again!”
“Angie took great care of our pup! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and her family. Her home is very clean and safe. She is very responisve and sent updates during our dog’s stay. I would definitely recommend Angie and know our dog will be very excited to return to her home. Thanks so much, Angie!”
“Cindy is a great sitter and really understands our fuball’s routines. Gus has IVDD, needs eye drops 3x per day and lots of love and attention - Cindy helps in all these areas!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Eric‘s dog sitting service! He cared for our puppy, Izzy for 16 days and truly went above and beyond. From daily walks to giving her medicine and making sure she felt safe and comfortable at home, he treated her as if she were his own. Eric‘s home is spotless, welcoming, and perfectly suited for dogs. Izzy was pampered the whole time, and we loved receiving the constant stream of photos and videos that kept us connected while we were away. This with a surprise was the custom-made poop bag pouch with a cutout of Izzy - such a thoughtful gift! We felt completely at ease knowing Izzy was in his care and will absolutely turn to Eric again whenever we need help. Highly recommended!”
“Our third time booking with Ash & we continue to be extremely happy with the care she provides for our pups! Our flight was delayed & she kindly let us pick the dogs after scheduled pick up. We love the daily updates/pics of our pups spending time with their furry friends. Would highly recommend!!”
“Christi was amazing to work with. It’s clear she loves dogs and wants to make sure your pup has a good experience. She took wonderful care of my dog and went above and beyond when we thought Willow might have a UTI. My dog came home happy and tired. :) I will absolutely use her again!”
“Absolutely Amazing!!!!! She was the best rover sitter, she sent pictures and videos, her backyard is so cute and perfect for the pups. She was so friendly; flexible and the dogs loved her. I felt very at peace with my dogs being watched by her and felt safety was a priority. The dogs had fun with the other small dogs and was great for socializing too! Will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Michelle was amazing! I felt very confident leaving my dog in her hands, and he came back to me happy as ever when she was done watching him. She also gave me very consistent updates on how he was doing! Would definitely use again!”
“William and team are the best! Our pup Zeus always has the best time. The team is easy to reach and provides updates throughout the stay. We know we can count on them!”
“Kim welcomed my senior dachshunds with an open and warm heart. One of my girls is a PICKY eater, and the other had just come down with an ear infection, and they both take a mini pharmacy’s worth of meds. Kim took it all in stride, sent photos and updates every day, and was so genuinely kind. Would highly recommend!!!”
“I’m a first time user of the app and having some stranger care for my babies was nerve wrecking not to mention that one of my dogs was having skin allergies. I’m extremely thankful for finding Jackie while visiting Arizona for a conference. Jackie eased my worries and my two dogs felt at home with her and her sweet dog Bella. Jackie provided me daily updates with photos and texts which eased my anxieties. She also provided my dog with her medication and supplements to her food. They stayed with her for four days and when I picked them up, I felt a little jealous because they didn’t seem to want to leave. I look forward for coming back and leaving my babies under her care again. Thank you...thank yo,! thank you, Give Jackie a shot you won’t regret it, unless your dog decides not to leave. Jackie as her new owner??????”
“Adriana is the absolute best. My pups love her so much they aren’t even excited to see me when I get back! Lol. She does a wonderful job of keeping me updated and loving on my babies. I even had a slight delay in my flight and she was so accommodating. I had nothing to worry about and could enjoy my vacation knowing my pups were in good hands.”
“Highly recommended!! She took care of starla like her own dog she give updates all day long i went for a vacation and it was so peaceful knowing she is well taken care of!! It was our first time leaving her so we were so stressed but once i got updates of her she was very happy with her, playing, eating sleeping on bed with her, overall, she was so happy. When we got there to get her she was not even ready to come back she was missing her!I Thats shows she was treated very well! highly recommend!!”
“My dog stayed with Sara as we went on a trip and we got peace of mind with all the updates and pictures! First time using Rover app. Normally I would drive 2 hours to drop off my dog with family but now I would definitely book again!”
“Our dogs always love staying at Brooke’s home. Very thankful to have a place we can trust they will be well taken care of when we travel out of country.”
“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.”
“Gabriela was an excellent sitter - Milo was instantly comfortable with her, and was clearly pampered during his stay. She was a great communicator and sent us several pictures every day of our fur baby. We will use her again.”
“Amigo is always very happy to see Clara when we drop him off, Clara is great at keeping us posted on his daily activities and a pleasure to work with.”
“Our dog had an incredible time staying with Alexandra. At drop off, I was impressed to find that she was prepared with notes and questions about our instructions, having thoroughly read the document i sent last minute. Alexandra sent photos regularly throughout the stay showing us the fun activities they were up to. She took him on lots of long walks and out to cafes and he loved the cosmopolitan experience. We bumped into Alexandra's boyfriend the day after his stay and our pup flipped out with excitement and refused to part ways; clearly our Turbo had a wonderful time staying with them. We highly recommend Alexandra if you want someone to take great care of your dog and someone your pup will adore.”

“Bridget was amazing! We have a diabetic cat that needed shots twice a day and two others. Bridget was super communicative, had great summaries and took lots of pictures to help us feel better about being away for so long. All of our instructions were followed and the cats were well taken care of. We will definitely be using Bridget's services in the future.”
“Claire does a great job from what my cat tells me. I'm out of town when they interact. Photo updates are a very nice touch. I love the service. I highly recommend Claire M.”
“Kristi is soo sweet to my kitties. She did a great job with them and I can’t wait to have her come back. Great communicator and was extremely helpful. 5 stars:)”
“Mattea did a great job watching my cats while I was out of town. She came each day and fed them and gave them water. My cats seemed comfortable with her too and normally they are quite shy. She is a caring sitter that does well with animals.”
“Estefany was great with my cat! My cat is shy and would hide when she first came in but she hungout and waited until he felt brave enough to come out for attention and pets. I felt reassured and confident my cat was in great hands the whole time I was away!”
“Avery did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. She is trustworthy and dependable. Most importantly, our dog enjoys her company. We plan on using her services again. This was our 2nd booking with her.”
“John was great taking care of our two cats including doing an inhaler for one of them! He immediately connected with them when we gave him the keys and I could tell he enjoyed spending time with them on his visits as there were pictures of them playing with their favorite toys. Would definitely ask him to watch them again and recommend him!”

“Veronika was quick to respond to my initial request. This was for a short, but important trip. Veronika reassured me that my baby, Stache was in good hands, & I got the Rover cards with each visit. If she is available, I will definitely request Veronika again!”
“Theresa took great care of my two kitties while I was out of town for two weeks! The girls warmed up to her immediately which is saying something as my youngest is usually very sketchy around people she does not know! I got daily pictures and can see them Playing with Theresa which was wonderful! Though I missed them terribly, I did not worry about them under Theresa’s great care! Very Happy !!!”
“Kelly has been a really kind and observant catsitter for my two cats. She has written detailed reports at every visit and included daily photos of the cats. She has taken extra steps to feed the shyer cat who has not been eating much. I am very relieved my cats are under her care.”
“Kaylie was amazing! My cat adored her, and she left detailed updates and sent me lots of pictures. She was very reliable and came exactly when she said she would, even though I told her she could come anytime. She stayed and visited with my cat for longer than agreed, and made sure we were safely reunited after my trip. She immediately put me and my cat at ease when I met her. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Am absolute delight! She was so thorough with each visit and was very patient with my boys despite their skittish nature of always hiding. Going above and beyond to at least try to see where they might have tucked themselves away so I'd know what they were up to. Really gave me peace of mind while I was away.”
“Devinnie was so amazing and accommodating! I really appreciated meeting her before I left. She went above and beyond my expectations. I will definitely ask for her again!”
“We had a great experience having Nicole do drop-in visits for our cats. She sent detailed notes in the Rover cards and handled their care exactly as agreed during the meet and greet. We highly recommend Nicole!”

“Definitely would recommend!!! My Daisy is very attached to me and has never been in someone else's care. The 2nd day when she got out of car she ran up to the door and couldn’t wait to dart in not even looking back at me. I got several updates & photos throughout the day. Will be booking with Christian & Hana again!”
“Nicole & Rose V. was absolutely wonderful with my dog! They were attentive, reliable, and made sure my pup was well cared for the entire time. My dog came home happy and relaxed. I could tell he received lots of love and attention. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring sitter!”
About: I'm from Costa Rica, but I've been in AZ for 10 years now. I've had dogs pretty much my whole life. Now I live in Tempe near the mall, and there's a park right by my apartment. My job's flexible, so I can give whatever care is needed. I love all breeds. I work from home for Bank of America, so I get off around 3 or 4, depending on daylight savings. I've got a play area in the living room with pee pads and toys for the pets, and I'll make sure to walk them when it's cooler in the morning and evening.

“Really awesome experience with them! My 9 month old dog has done both daycare and overnight boarding. My pup always has so much fun and comes back exhausted. They are super kind and genuinely care about the well being of your dog. Great communicators and just overall so grateful I found folks I can trust with my baby.”
“Whether you're a local or traveling, Katherine is the best sitter in the whole Phoenix metro. We were visiting and needed someone to watch the dogs during the day as we explored, the dogs were tired at the end of the day and ready to sleep all night. I highly recommend Katherine and her services!”
“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!”
“Laree and Keith are lovely people who are clearly very experienced with dogs and love them very much. I feel like my girls are well taken care of there.”
“Sara was so sweet and calm personality, my dog looked so happy when I pick him up. She was very responsive and sent pictures of Byron and a video, I recommend Sara for any future services. We definitely will.”
“Amazing amount of communication, stellar care, and my girl had a blast! The location is perfect and Marina took amazing care and I had no worries. I couldn’t be happier!”
“Greg is welcoming and professional. His services approach is well constructed and thoughtful. Gideon seemed to have a nice balance to his day. Thanks, Greg!”
“Alex was very helpful watching Elsa for 2 days I had a crazy busy work schedule. He was flexible and willing to watch Elsa until late evening. Elsa is also always so excited to see Alex whenever she gets to his place.”
“Bar none this was my best Rover experience. Jennifer kept us well informed sending many pictures of my boy throughout his stay(holiday) Her other special doggies welcomed Benny with open paws and Benny was even a guest at a birthday party at Jennifer’s home. The house is a perfect space giving him tons of open yet secure space to roam and play. From the pics, Benny had a great time and felt very much at home. I wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer.as a premier option should you have a need.”
“Natalie was great! She was very understanding of my dogs special needs and was not only kind and communicative, but also listened carefully and was able to follow instructions well! I got my dobby home without him feeling stressed out, which is saying something! Would highly recommend Natalie!”
“Dominique goes an extra mile for my puppy that gets pretty anxious around new surroundings and people. She’s been extremely helpful with socializing my dog and giving me a peace of mind he’s spending a day with someone who will take care of him.”
“He was so kind and helpful! He sent lots of pics which was so nice since this was my first time ever leaving my pup with someone else! She had so much fun. Will definitely use him again”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! From snow days and trampoline adventures with my dog Bear to life with my two loyal Rhodesian Ridgebacks, animals have always been my happy place. These days, our sweet rescue Stella keeps life calm and cozy, and I still find that animals naturally seem to trust and connect with me. I’ve even taken obedience training classes because I genuinely love learning more about dog behavior and communication. I’m comfortable with energetic pups, gentle seniors, big dogs, little dogs, and yes — cats too (even if we can’t have them at home because of allergies). My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into our family’s daily routine. I’m a teacher, so I’m home during summers and school breaks, including two weeks each in fall, winter, and spring. My work schedule when teaching allows me to stop by home during lunch to check in on pets and I’m home by 3:30 PM leaving the evening open for playtime and companionship. Our two boys (13 and 15) also love animals and are learning responsibility by helping care for pets alongside me — giving extra love, playtime, walks, and attention. As a family, we’re able to comfortably provide care in our home or stop by for feedings, walks, check-ins, and play visits throughout the day. During the school year, I’m available before 7:00 AM and after 3:30 PM. I care for pets like they’re part of the family! I love greeting them with excitement, giving them attention, playtime, cuddles, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs on walks or runs, playing fetch, and honestly love when they get the zoomies and show their personalities. Safety is always a priority. In our home, pets are supervised and can be safely crated or given their own quiet room if needed for rest, comfort, or separation. We have a fully fenced yard for outdoor play and a dog door so pets can move in and out comfortably throughout the day. We do have a pool that is not fenced, so I make sure dogs are monitored outside and will always follow the owner’s instructions regarding outdoor access and supervision. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, exercised, and loved.
“Kat was wonderful- she helped my daughter out last minute with her 4 month old puppy. She sent us several updates throughout the day with photos and videos. It was so helpful and comforting to know that Tank was in good hands!”

“Zachary was absolutely amazing! He helped me out last minute and made the whole experience completely stress free. He was very communicative, kept me updated throughout the visit, and truly went above and beyond. He took such great care of my mini Goldendoodle, gave him lots of pets and attention, and it was obvious my dog was happy and comfortable with him. My dog was in such caring hands and it gave me peace of mind. I would absolutely book with Zachary again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and dependable dog walker!”
“This was our first time using Rover and I must say that Lauren really made a great impression on us. She was so attentive to my baby Bear 🐻. I was nervous about leaving him alone for a week. She was so helpful with updates and communication. I love all the pictures that she took. At one point has some concerns about My dog feeling sad and she came right away to look after him gave him lots of love for me. Overall she helped us so much and i can’t thank her enough! I would recommend her 10/10!”
About: Growing up, my parents always had a family dog in our home. When I turned 18 and went to college, I adopted a puppy that was abandoned in the woods and found on a hike. He became my best friend. He lived to be 14 and passed from old age/ heart murmur, February of 2022. I miss him every day and a friend I taught with, suggested I pet sit! I figured it would be worth a try, as I had pet sit for a few friends and family in the past. In 2022, I gained 30 positive reviews (on Rover) from my fabulous fur friends and their families. In 2023, I gained 17 positive reviews. In 2024, I gained 15 positive reviews. In 2025 I gained 27 positive reviews. I currently have zero negative reviews...I'd LOVE to keep it that way ;) I have several repeat clients and I encourage you to READ my reviews! -I do require a *complimentary* free Meet and Greet visit, prior to our first booking together. This ensures that we are all the best fit for one another! You reach out to me. I'll initiate the scheduling of the meet and greet visit. I usually prefer to schedule these on a Saturday or Sunday- late afternoon. You'd send me your address, as Rover does not display the pet parent's home address until both the pet sitter and pet parent have clicked the "confirm booking" button (located at the top of the message screen in the Rover app.) If you do not have the Rover app, you can use your device to go to Google. Type Rover in the Google search bar to access the website, directly. From there, log in Rover and you can navigate your way to your messages/ rover inbox. This is where you and I will do all of our communicating. Rover duplicates both the pet parent and pet sitter's messages to one another in not only the rover inbox, but also your email associated with Rover...AND your (regular) personal text messages. Drop your phone in the toilet? Just find a device with internet and log in rover. We can still communicate! Whew! Rover does protect the privacy of both the pet sitter and the pet parent, by using an alternate phone number, assigned to each party using the Rover app (this is similar to how Lyft or Uber would use a "fake" phone number for privacy reasons.) When I arrive to your home for the meet and greet, we usually sit in your doorway for the initial hello pets...lots of waggin tails ❤️ Next, we usually sit on your couch for about 30-90 minutes to talk about myself, your pet, your requests, etc. I'm usually petting your fur love as we talk, making sure we're best furrriends! To wrap up our meeting, the pet owner usually walks myself around the home, making sure to show me: The location of pet food, food dishe(s), water dishe(s), medication(s), written directions for your booking (which I will take a photo of to read later,) the bedroom I will be sleeping in, etc. I will make sure your home feels safe and clean, as I always need to keep myself and my other client's safety and health in consideration. Don't worry- your home ***does not*** need to be spotless. However, I unfortunately ***can not*** handle bed bugs, mold, head lice, fleas, ticks, scorpians, spiders, etc. PLEASE, do not waste my gas money, nor my time, by requesting a meet and greet visit, if you have experienced any of these unfortunate situations (within the last 3 years, regardless of your current residence.) I appreciate your honesty more than you'll ever know. At the meet and greet, you may ask to view my fingerprint clearance card. I usually try to remember to have it with me. I do have a reliable vehicle. I have AAA, if I were to experience vehicle issues during your booking. I also understand how to use Uber, Lyft, the city bus and even the light rail. I would always find a way to get home to your fur child. I am highly trustworthy. I am also an incredible judge of character. As long as the pet parent and I feel good about one another at the meet and greet visit, I am confident we will have a successful booking. I do send your home address to my mother, before driving to your home. This way, if you end up being a not- so- great- hooman... well, you know how that goes. ✌️ I do bring pepper spray with me to my visits, so please do not be alarmed by this precaution I take. I love cats and dogs! I love chickens and bunnies, too! Got a Nemo fish? I. got. you. I love getting to know your temperamental cat's colorful personality... Or leaving them to rule the home, while never making direct eye contact- whatever works.. I know the fur friends need our time and most importantly, our love. I will carefully follow directions you leave for me in your home. I am a very clean and organized person and would treat your family member and your home, as my own- with the most respect and care possible. ❤️ Additional services offered, ask at your meet and greet. Extra services will be paid in cash by the pet owner. Money will be left for pet sitter on kitchen counter. Extra services may include: - FREE Daily walks (usually 10-60 minutes in length, depending on weather conditions.) - FREE dog poop pick up [during walks] & throw away poop in nearest dog poop trash bin. - FREE scooping of cat litter box. - Backyard/ Frontyard dog poop pick up & throw away $25/20 minutes of my time, [depends on weather conditions & my energy levels.] - FREE Mail & or package collection *I'm not rushing home to bring your boxes inside, but yay for you!! ✌️ - FREE watering of indoor/ outdoor plants, as long as this takes me less than 10 minutes per day! -FREE trash day bin transporting, from wherever you keep your trash bins, to the front curb of your home. - $25 "House key pick up appointment" (on any day other than meet and greet appointment) *must be paid at time of key pick up appointment. Please note- If you give me the house key the day of the meet and greet, no key pick up appointment needed!!! ✌️ ...If you can use a garage code or front door code, please provide that information to me the day prior/the day of your departure for your booking. You ***do not*** need to give me a key in addition to a door/garage code, unless you want to! I do not let people "hide" the house key, UNLESS you have a working camera, which monitors the location where the key is being hid. If your camera stops working and someone finds your key- that's on you. Another alternative is a house key lock box or even a garage opener works. Please consider giving a trusted person a spare key, in the event something happens to the original key. Tell me what to do if I somehow get locked out. It's never happened, yet! Schedule: Substitute Teacher (I have a flexible schedule. I can select 4 hour/half day teaching days, too!) I work full time in education (all kinds of experience with multi tasking and distributing my attention, evenly, among the babes!) - I have to *be at* work at 7 am until 3 pm, Monday through Friday - I do not work my education job on the weekends, meaning I have some extra time for the fur friends! *I am not home 24/7, but the occasional "I'm not leaving the house for 24 straight hours day" definitely happens. Just depends on energy levels and prior commitments.* - I also have most holidays off work from my education job, as I get vacation when my students do. This means that around busy holiday times when people often travel- I am typically off work from my main job and can be available to watch your fur babies! - **On that note- to clarify, I do not stay in the home 24/7 to watch your animal (even with "overnight" visits.) During an "overnight" booking- I do sleep in your home (I love pet cuddles, if allowed!) On work nights, I sleep (usually) from around 10 pm ish until about 5 am. A normal work day's schedule may look like the following: 5 am: wake up and take fur friend potty 5:15 am: feed and water 5:30 am: take fur friend potty for post meal bathroom use 5:45 am: I lock up and head to my teaching job 12pm ish: I send you a "morning summary" message & a video of your dog eating breakfast. 4 pm: I get home and take your fur friend potty 4:15: I feed and water 4:30 take fur friend potty 4:45 ish: I leave your home and go to the gym. Maybe I grab dinner to take to your home to eat...or maybe I go walk around Target for a bit to unwind! Perhaps I'm too tired to do any of that, find a pizza and stay in & snuggle your fur love all night. It really just depends on the day. ***please understand this is my -second- job. I take it seriously, but you are not paying me to stay in your home 24/7. There ~are~ some pet sitters that are able to do that, I am not. Please understand this ~before scheduling your complimentary meet and greet appointment ❤️ 9 pm ish: I usually get ready for bed with your fur love! 10 pm- midnight ish: I send you an "evening summary" message and a video of your fur love eating dinner! My weekends, look about the same as above referenced. (I do stay up late on Friday and Saturday nights.) During the weekend, I am often home much more than I would be during the work week. (It depends on the day. Some Saturdays I go hiking & out to dinner. Others, I Netflix binge and chill with your pup for 36 straight hours. ... I use common sense. If I was gone a lot during the day prior, I try to even it out and stay in more, the following day. Safety, trust & environment: I care for pets in the pet owners home, not my own home. I maintain good relationships with my clients and really do my best to make everyone happy!! I listen to your suggestions. I take notes. I ask clarifying questions when needed and I believe that clear and effective communication is required on both my end (and the pet owner's end,) in order to maintain a healthy pet and working relationship! I lock doors. I double check that the stove is turned off. I send pictures and videos of your animal, so you can let me know if you notice something I don't. I try my best to prevent any accidents from even being possible. I'm not a perfect pet sitter, but my reviews reflect that I take this job very seriously, because I do ❤️
“Heather has done a great job walking my pup. She’s very thorough and makes he has plenty of water, his paws are clean, and always takes lots of pics. I’ve rebooked her several times”
“Robyn has been doing so well since Perer has been coming and walking her. Ive noticed a difference in her being more comfortable around new people. She's really coming out of her she'll and Peter has adjusted his approach to make her feel more secure before they go for their walk. Thanks so much for being so patient and gentle with her and for being flexible with my schedule!”
About: Hi! My name is Bridget, and I've owned and cared for cats for 25 years. I grew up with Devon Rexes, so I know all about energetic, play-centric breeds, but I also have loads of experience caring for shy kitties who need their space. No matter what your cat's personality is like, I'll make sure he or she knows they are king of the castle. I'm available to care for your pets at your home, and can do daily feedings. I work 9-5, but am also available for 2x/daily visits depending on location. The majority of my experience is with short-term care (<two weeks) but I am also able to provide long-term care. Please let me know of any questions or concerns - I would love to help pamper your pet while you're gone! I work 6-3, and can spend some of my work day at your home so your pet doesn’t get lonely. I’m also available for 2x/daily visits depending on location. The majority of my experience is with short-term care (<two weeks) but I am also able to provide long-term care. I always let pets come to me on their own time, and will never force cuddles or photos on an animal who isn’t enthusiastic. Your pet’s comfort is of the utmost importance for me - so if that means sitting in silence in the same room together, perfect - and if they prefer to go crazy chasing a toy, I’m ready to play!
“Michelle has been fantastic. She's great about sending updates and photos during the walk, so we never have to wonder how things went. We're completely comfortable having her let herself into our house - she's clearly trustworthy and treats our home with respect. Both of our dogs, Max and Louis, get genuinely excited when they see Michelle, which says it all. Highly recommend her!”
“Kaylie was fantastic with our dog Hazel. Hazel is typically very nervous meeting new people but Kaylie had a very calming and responsive approach and put her at ease right away. Would definitely recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m an animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all ages and sizes. I’m patient, dependable, and dedicated to making sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, sticking to their routine, or providing plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure your dog gets the care and attention they need. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll keep you updated so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 Pet care is already a part of my daily routine because I enjoy being around animals and staying active. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention, ensuring pets receive consistent and reliable care. 🐾 I live in an apartment complex so I am regularly walking my beagle every 6 hours. When in other people’s homes I fit my schedule around my clients to ensure the pets routine and daily needs are taken care of first!
“Dani is a truly FANTASTIC dog walker. My little homie liked her right away when they first met. I have found Dani to be very professional and completely reliable. I highly recommend her for care of your pup!”
About: Family, friends and acquaintances of theirs have relied on me as a source of care that they consider a piece of their family. If you’re that kinda person , I might just the right fit. I like to understand an animals personality, and created a trusted bond. I am willing to do whatever silly thing your animal requires to feel safe and loved. I am very flexible and am open to discussing your needs for safety/care and the animals need as well. Please don’t hesitate to contact me. I often am available most Holidays. Pet sitting is not just something to bring in an extra income but something that brings real joy, happiness, and fulfillment to my life. While having an animal for me, every single day isn’t realistic unfortunately ,I find that the ability to do this periodically throughout the year and to be around animals is very rewarding . This also gives me the ability to focus entirely on your animal and the comfort they need when family is away. I did security for nine years and have a level one fingerprint clearance card. I will treat your home with respect and when watching animals and my own home, I do not watch multiple animals from different households to ensure that no issues were to ever arise in a negative altercation. I do have a preference of housesitting at clients homes due to just the comfortability of the animals environment not changing. They tend to already have a little bit of anxiety with the owner, leaving and changing their environment can sometimes for some animals heighten that anxiety.
About: I'm from Costa Rica, but I've been in AZ for 10 years now. I've had dogs pretty much my whole life. Now I live in Tempe near the mall, and there's a park right by my apartment. My job's flexible, so I can give whatever care is needed. I love all breeds. I work from home for Bank of America, so I get off around 3 or 4, depending on daylight savings. I've got a play area in the living room with pee pads and toys for the pets, and I'll make sure to walk them when it's cooler in the morning and evening.

About: I'm the proud owner of a rambunctious little goldendoodle that I've raised from puppyhood to adulthood, so I have plenty of experience with caring for dogs through every stage of life, in both sickness and health, and from fussy moods to bouts of hyperactivity. Moreover, I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have kept everything from gerbils to birds. As a pet owner, I know it can be stressful leaving your sweet little angel with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind and provide attentive care for your pet. More than happy to accommodate any special requests. Glad to send pics and updates as well! I occasionally travel for work, but when I'm home, I have a very flexible schedule and can devote plenty of time to the pets I'm caring for. I'm also an early riser, so morning walks and feeding schedules are never a problem. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I take the responsibility seriously and will always keep you in the loop. If your pet has any special needs or routine (whether it's avoiding certain foods, allergens, other dogs, or following specific care instructions), I'll be happy to accommodate them. Your peace of mind is my priority.
About: Hi! I'm Sarah, and caring for dogs has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. 🐾 Growing up in a big family with seven siblings, our house was always full of wagging tails and happy chaos. Between all of us, we've raised and loved German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, German Shorthaired Pointers, Goldendoodles, Cockapoos, and Boxer mixes—from energetic puppies to beloved seniors now in their teens. I've spent years helping care for our family dogs and pet sitting whenever friends and family traveled. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who will make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, belly rubs, sticking to their routine, or simply keeping them company, I treat every dog like they're part of the family. My goal is for both you and your pup to have peace of mind. I love creating a calm, cozy environment where dogs can relax, feel secure, and get plenty of attention until their favorite person comes home. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! ❤️ I am self employed and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to work remotely and be there to help you with your pets needs when you need it most. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine in their own home. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, or cuddles, I provide loving, reliable care so they feel safe and happy while you're away. For dog walks, I tailor each outing to your dog's energy level and needs, always prioritizing safety and fun. 🐾❤️

“We couldn’t be happier with Eric‘s dog sitting service! He cared for our puppy, Izzy for 16 days and truly went above and beyond. From daily walks to giving her medicine and making sure she felt safe and comfortable at home, he treated her as if she were his own. Eric‘s home is spotless, welcoming, and perfectly suited for dogs. Izzy was pampered the whole time, and we loved receiving the constant stream of photos and videos that kept us connected while we were away. This with a surprise was the custom-made poop bag pouch with a cutout of Izzy - such a thoughtful gift! We felt completely at ease knowing Izzy was in his care and will absolutely turn to Eric again whenever we need help. Highly recommended!”
“Christi was amazing to work with. It’s clear she loves dogs and wants to make sure your pup has a good experience. She took wonderful care of my dog and went above and beyond when we thought Willow might have a UTI. My dog came home happy and tired. :) I will absolutely use her again!”
“Michelle was amazing! I felt very confident leaving my dog in her hands, and he came back to me happy as ever when she was done watching him. She also gave me very consistent updates on how he was doing! Would definitely use again!”

“Heidi is wonderful! Our 2 boys were well cared for and very active while in her care. She sent frequent updates with pictures and videos.

Ashley kept us updated with tons of pictures and even made Otis some delicious puppy pancakes that he clearly loved. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We will definitely be using them again in the future!”

“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.”
“Really sweet family and just overall perfect experience for both me and my pup. Before boarding: Alani and her families invited us to do meet-and-greet, asked questions about my dog’s usual routines, sent information about other two dogs mine will be staying with ahead of time. During the stay: Alani sent photos and updates daily. Informed me if anything was unusual. They took her to a dog park when the weather got cooler. Pick-up: They were very accommodating while my flight schedules changed. Alani gave me an update on how my dog stay went, anything she noticed, etc. My dog seemed well-played and happy. I felt like they understood how stressful and nervous it can be to part with a pup for extended period, and did everything to help. Alani and her family will always be my first choice to sit my pup going forward. Thank you.”
“Kevin was amazing with my dog Zuri. My dog had a great time. Kevin’s place is clean, safe and easily accessible for drop offs and pick up. I enjoyed getting an update and picture of my dog while I was away. Thank you, Kevin. Highly recommend.”
“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.”

“Katherine and Tanner took great care of Dakota during her stay. Communication was easy and consistent, and they clearly made an effort to keep her comfortable and cared for. Dakota came home happy and relaxed — always a good sign! Would definitely trust them again.”
“Casandra has watched our dog on a couple of occasions and it’s been an excellent experience each time! She is friendly, flexible, and punctual, which we really appreciate. She always sends photo updates to check in and my dog loves playing with her pup, too. She is obviously well-cared for when she’s with Casandra. Highly recommend!”
