“Brooke and her family were wonderful! They communicated well, sent photos, and overall great hosts for Remy. Would definitely book again and recommend!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Was very attentive to my comfortably and safety of my dog. She communicated well and gave updates. Was always a pleasure to speak to and understood Xena and I had some not so pleasant visits with a previous sitter, she reassured me that Xena was in good hands. Xena came back happy and healthy, full and played out. She had a good time and I would recommend this sitter to anyone in need of a safe place for a temporary stay. Great job”
“Pamela took great care of my little girls while I was away. They loved playing in her backyard. I received daily photo updates of them and confirmation of them taking their medication.”
“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.”
“We love leaving koda with Ash! She’s always so well cared for and loved! Ash is always updating us about koda and letting us know how she’s doing while we’re away. She’s quick to respond and is great for last minute trips!”
“This was the first time I did boarding with Chandra. I could tall from the pictures that she was happy and had a good time. Cindy sent updates and pictures. This was a great experience for me and for Chandra. I recommend Cindy 110%. She is awesome!”
“Julia was friendly and inviting from our very first interaction and was very accommodating with our early morning drop off time. Our pup, Benny, was very comfortable as soon as he got to Julia’s home and it left our minds at peace leaving him for the night. Julia kept us updated to how Benny was doing and we appreciate her being patient with Benny’s playfulness.”
“Eric was truly amazing, believe every single outstanding review. It is very clear that he and his husband are so caring and loving towards the animals they keep. My two pups seemed comfortable and content the entire 5 days we were gone like they were with family. My husband and I went on a cruise and didn't have the best service but that didn't stop Eric from updating us everyday with pictures, videos, and a rundown of the day. And of course we cannot forget the cutest portraits of my pups that he took. Those are definitely our new favorite pictures! Anyone would be lucky to book with this household!”
“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.”
“Absolutely amazing experience! My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for during the stay. I received frequent updates, photos, and thoughtful communication throughout the booking. I truly appreciated the care and attention given to my dog and would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!!!!!!”
“Alani and her family took great care of my dogs. My oldest dog is blind and has diabetes. He needs insulin every 12 hours; nonetheless, Alani handled him very well. Both of my dogs typically come home after being boarded at a dog hotel with some weight loss, but with Alani that was NOT the case. 10/10 dog sitter.”
“Diamond had a great time with Ezra and Reina. He bonded well with them and adjusted to the transition from house to house without any visible trauma. Thank you both for being such dedicated caregivers.”
“Betty was in great hands this weekend. Kelly sent videos and pics of the whole weekend. It was nice to she was enjoying her time there! Will definitely be back.”
“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.”

“Ana was very pleasant and took great care of my kitties while we were gone! She was very responsive and updated us daily on them, making sure they had everything they needed. Would definitely book again!”
“Marie was such a pleasure to work with! She came over for a meet and greet and took detailed notes on our kitty’s routine. I felt comfortable right away based on the thoroughness of her questions. We received detailed reports after each drop-in and the sweetest photos. It looks like they had a great time together! Would highly recommend”
“Savannah was wonderful, very responsive, timely, and attentive! She went above and beyond to make sure my cat was safe and happy, and I will definitely book her again. Would recommend for your cat sitting needs!!”
“Tabbitha took excellent care of my kitties and promptly sent me visit cards with photos each time, which I really appreciated. She is quick to respond to messages and I felt relieved to have someone so caring and conscientious looking after my kids while I was away.”
“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 🥰”
“Thank You for taking care of Rick this week - greatly appreciate you paying attention to the additional details, litter box and water level in his fountain - i am sure he us looking forward to your return visits...”
“Olivia is such a great person and so kind! She watched my cat for a little over a week, and she was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my cat and kept me updated while I was away! My cat was happy and well cared for when I got home. I would definitely recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Sierra was very detailed, professional, attentive, and punctual. I have a chronically ill kitty that needs daily meds and I was really worried about leaving him while on my trip, but Sierra made me feel at ease and I could tell my babies were in good hands. I highly recommend her services!”
“Matthea was so amazing, very professional and gave us an update every single day, and really went above and beyond spending time with our social kitty! We will definitely rebook her every time we need someone!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. I have a husky of 6 years that is practically a cat in a dog’s body. I personally get very anxious when leaving my furry friends for trips, so I know how important it is to send pictures and updates of how your fur baby is doing. 9 times out of 10 I am the person in the corner playing with the dog at social events, so I will make sure your pets are well entertained and having a good time! I just graduated from Cosmetology school and got my license, and as of right now I have an open schedule. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! I have a husky that has severe separation anxiety, so I will make sure that your pets are calm, safe, & sound even if that means sitting on the floor with them for hours. When taking care of multiple pets at once, I am very aware of my surroundings and making sure that everyone is getting along and having fun.
“Kyle & Danielle did an incredible job taking care of my 3 kitties. Great communication and every detail of instructions I gave was followed perfectly. Took the time to stop by and meet the kitties prior to my trip as I requested on short notice as well. Treated all kitties with care and respect, including my two senior Bengals. Definitely recommend them as pet sitters. Thank you Kyle and Danielle for taking care of my little ones!”
About: I’ve taken care of family friends and neighbors pets for years! I have watched every animal - from dogs and cats to lizards and snakes, and love every moment of it. I’ve always had pets at home and I love fur-babies more than anything! I have trained 3 puppies and around 5 kittens! I am currently a college student, but with my schedule, I am able for walking or check-ins almost any time of the week! Weekends are completely open besides Sundays 12-2. I always ensure that my clients homes look better than I found it! I understand everyone has a different way of raising their animals and I respect any training or specifications given to me. I am comfortable with just about anything for pets!
“Ashley was great! She was prompt, responsible, communicative, and detailed. I felt very comfortable on my recent trip knowing that she was stopping by and spending some time with my buddy Slick. I highly recommend Ashley for any of your pet sitting needs!”
About: Throughout my life, I have raised and trained multiple puppies and taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages! I’ve spent my days walking, feeding, bathing, training, and loving my cattle dog and shepherd mix named Moose for the last two years. I also regularly sit for a miniature schnauzer named Gandalf the Grey and for a tabby cat named Ronnie! I am experienced in basic skills training and loving all kinds of little furry friends! I’m currently working part-time as a student, so I have ample time to check in and take the best care of your little loved ones! In my home, I regularly clean and refill the water and food bowls and keep my furry baby on a yummy and clean diet! He gets at least an hour of play and two walks a day, so we get his energy out and get him some healthy exercise! Whenever he is given toys, he is supervised at all times.
“Milla watched my cats for a long trip and she is great at communicating and was very professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She responded quickly when I had questions and my cats really liked her. She kept my space clean and tidy for when I came home as well. Thank you Milla!”

“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.”
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.
“Cindy is fantastic. Our dog spent a few workdays while one of us was traveling, and he clearly felt comfortable and happy while at the same time Cindy provided a structured, calm, and enriching environment for him. He got walks and puzzles and even another dog friend to play with on occasion. Cindy was very patient, attentive, and kind. She has an excellent confident demeanor and establishes boundaries effectively and naturally with the pups. I would recommend Cindy in a heartbeat.”
“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!”
“Courtney was communicative, responsive, and easy to work with from start to finish. Mazi enjoyed his stay, and I appreciated the updates and care. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Airy was well taken care of spending the day at Nadia’s. We were attending an event at the Convention Center and was close by and the staff was very communicative about logistics and updates throughout the day.”
“Amazing! This was my first time leaving my pet with a sitter and I was super nervous, but Alicia has been really great. She took care of my puppy very well, sent us pictures and videos after few intervals. My puppy seemed happy playing with dogs . Highly recommended!”
About: Experienced working with dogs of all size and breed. I personally own two rescue Pit-bull Terriers and a rescue cattle dog. Can work with larger more ‘rambunctious’ dog’s and their play style. I volunteer at the Maricopa dog shelters once a month. Cleaning, playing, feeding, and occasionally the peanut butter roofie for medication needs. Offer walks / wellness visits and can adhere to training routines if necessary. I have a designated spare room for overnight / home drop offs where your pup can have its own designated space. Located right next to Tempe Town Lake there are a lot of parks for play and exercise. Snacks provided, alert if your pup needs medications given or has allergies. Usual availability ranges from Mon-Sat 6-6pm. I work from home and set my own schedule so it allows for flexibility. I have a designated dog room for day care or overnight visits For dog sitting in my home: I have multiple dog gates that partition the house off so there is never a risk of my pups and yours crossing paths if they need to be separated. I have pupcams i keep active 24/7 for additional security. This live feed can be shared as well with you as well. Your home: I just follow your playbook. If you have specifications like where to sit, where the dog is allowed, what can and cannot be accessed in the home, share that with me. I treat your space like id want mine treated.
“Olivia is fantastic. She is kind, gentle and nurturing! Our girl had a blast and knocked out on the car ride home. She is a happy pup today thanks to Olivia and our new doggo friends! Would 100% recommend and use Olivia again! Thank you for loving her as your own!”

About: I have had a dog since I was a child and have cared for all types of dogs, from a mini dachshund to a great dane mix. I have experience with shelters dogs, dogs with anxiety, and service dogs. I currently work from home and do not have a set schedule. I do have family dinners sunday nights and am typically gone around 4 hours but otherwise, I am typically only gone an hour or so every few days. I live in an apartment but love taking the dogs out on long walks every few hours. I have a retired service dog who will keep your dog company.
About: Hi, I’m Sara, and I’m happy to welcome your doggy as a member of our family! I make sure you come back to a happy pup. If this is your first time using Rover be sure to ask me for first time promo code for 20% off your first stay. I work from home which allows me the flexibility to create time for caring for pets including taking them out for walks or jogs (if they’re up for it) along the trails nearby. I will follow individual pet care instructions, if provided but if not our daily routine consists of a morning routine walk and feeding time, one to two more short walks in the afternoon, second feeding and a walk in the evening. Depending on their energy levels we’ll include indoor play/fetch time. But if they’re happy to just sit and relax, we like to do that too :) When boarding your pet, I follow all care instructions you provide. Including feeding times, and oral medications if needed. My apartment home is spacious. The community is pet-friendly and we have a fitness/biking trail just in our backyard. I live 3 miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor making it convenient for drop-off/ pickup.
“David was amazing to work with & to care for our pups for the day while we visited friends in Phoenix. We had a wonderful meet & greet 2 days before and everyone seemed comfortable. David's communication was great, and we loved the pictures and updates of the day. They were exhausted when we got home, and we could tell David took great care of them! We would highly recommend David for anyone in the Phoenix area, or just needing a day out while visiting. Thanks so much David!! 🐶🥰”
“Abi was really great with my pup! She needed lots of attention and Abi was really attentive and kept me updated and secure. I could tell my puppy was well cared for and comfortable. I’d definitely trust her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for more than 20 years, and spending time with animals has always been one of my favorite things. Over the years, I've cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from playful Chihuahuas and energetic puppies to gentle Huskies, senior pets, and independent cats. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give each pet. I take the time to get to know their unique personality, routines, and preferences so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence nearby, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I'm experienced with senior pets who need extra patience and care, including administering medications and following special routines. I'm also comfortable with puppies who are still learning and need consistency, supervision, and lots of positive reinforcement. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel connected when you're away from your furry family member. That's why I provide regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.

That's why I provide regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. In My Home: When your pet stays with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can relax and feel at home. My fully fenced backyard offers plenty of space for supervised outdoor play, fresh air, and potty breaks, with both grass and shaded areas to keep pets comfortable. We're also conveniently located near parks and walking trails, making it easy to provide regular exercise and enrichment. Because I work from home full-time, pets are rarely left alone and receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I maintain each pet's normal feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule as closely as possible to help reduce stress and make their stay feel familiar. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet's needs, preferences, and any special instructions before their stay. In Your Home: When caring for your pet in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine consistent and their environment stress-free. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and household guidelines to ensure your pet receives the same level of care they're accustomed to. I understand that trust is essential when welcoming someone into your home, so I treat every home with the utmost respect and care. I'll keep you updated with photos, messages, and regular check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, daycare, or overnight house sitting, I strive to provide dependable care and lots of love while you're away.
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.
About: I've trained many puppies and am currently a dog mama to two. I know how important it is to find a loving, fun and patient sitter. I do my best to make the dogs feel at home while you are away. I am happy to incorporate any of their daily routines while you are away--just let me know 😊 I am home most of the day with my own pups as I have a flexible daily schedule. A big part of my schedule are dogs! I make sure they get all the love and fun they need every day. We have plenty room inside and toys to play with or couches to relax on. Cuddles are a for sure thing in our home (unless your dog prefers his own bed). We go on at least 2 walks per day thirty minutes or more for each. If visiting your home, I try to make sure I keep up what is familiar to them!
“Alex is awesome! She has so patience, passion, and knowledge. She is 100% committed to understanding the dog language and their “energy” We are so grateful and recommend her to anyone that is particular about who they leave their pet with and know that their fury loved one is in great care”

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.
“2nd time booking with Bella but this time I booked very last minute. Thank goodness she was pretty flexible! My pup has a high energy levels so these walks help a whole lot to tire him out. Bella is very sweet and nice—10/10 recommend.”
About: Throughout my life, I have raised and trained multiple puppies and taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages! I’ve spent my days walking, feeding, bathing, training, and loving my cattle dog and shepherd mix named Moose for the last two years.

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.***
About: I'm gonna be honest and say that I don't have any "professional experience," BUT I have pet sat and house sat for my family members multiple times when they've gone out of town, so I do have something under my belt. I have also been surrounded by a number of both cats and dogs since I was a baby, which I have had the pleasure of taking care of and growing up with. I love animals of every kind, even the mean ones, and I would love to love yours too. I'm currently a full-time student, but half of my schedule is online, which frees up a lot of my time to take care of sweet fluffy babies! (Which is what I'd rather be doing anyway, so...) Whatever is most comfortable for you and your pets is what I will roll with. I am not in the business of messing up any routines, so you just let me know exactly what you want done for your pet and it'll happen. Boom.
“Ashley arrived promptly and followed all instructions getting into the apartment for my 14 year old madam Biba … Biba would take Ashley for her walk and Ashley was lovely to be patient, Ashley also sent photos everyday of Biba loving her early morning walks. I highly recommend her and will be using her when we get back after the summer break.”
About: I have my own dogs back home and have been a sitter on multiple occasions for all kinds of pets (bunnies, frogs, turtles, cats, dogs). I helped my friend when she worked at a doggy daycare and know what it is like when someone else is caring for your pets. I’m currently working part-time so I am available most days to walk dogs and watch them. I enjoy taking walks daily and don’t have pets myself so being able to walk with a purpose is something I’d enjoy. I have a fenced backyard with lots of grass, a big house for the pets to roam in, and like to keep a watchful eye at all times
“Bella was simply wonderful. From booking through her walk and hang with Rex, she was very communicative. Her summary notes were very thorough and she provided great insight into my little guy. I would 100% book again.”
About: Hey there! My name is Khayla. I’m a student at Arizona State University. I love dogs and have a little over 3 years of experience petsitting. I love having fun, getting active, and giving your pup some love. I am very flexible and available anytime. I promise to care for your canine pal as one of my own. It is important to me to create a trust-filled relationship and paw-sitive experience for each dog that I care for. I understand that pet owners have busy schedules too and would love to help make your daily life easier and give you peace of mind that your dog is in caring and responsible hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I'm currently working part-time in the mornings so I'll be able to give your pup plenty of love. I'm available for boarding weekends and weekdays after 2 pm. I live in a pet-friendly apartment building with a fenced dog park and even a dog wash! I also live right next to ASU and often take the dogs out to walk around the campus for some exercise, plenty of safe walkable spaces. My apartment is fairly large, smoke-free, and has no children or other pets living in it. I do my best to help dogs feel comfortable whether at my place or yours and give owners peace of mind that their pet is in good hands while their away.
About: I've always had a love for animals and have spent years caring for pets of all kinds. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, and even tortoises, which have helped me become comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and care routines. Growing up, before I had pets of my own, I loved helping friends and family care for their pets whenever I had the chance, and spending time with animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy! I also have experience with younger pets. My first dog and cats were all under a year old when I got them, so I am familiar with the extra attention, patience, and care that puppies and kittens need while they're still growing and learning. As a student at ASU, I'm not able to have a pet of my own right now, which is one of the reasons I joined Rover! I really miss being around animals and would love the opportunity to care for your pets while giving them lots of attention, companionship, and affection. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always treat them like family, while making sure you feel comfortable and updated while they're in my care! 🐾 I am currently on summer break from ASU and not working another job, so I have very open availability throughout the week. I am flexible with scheduling and available most days, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and care. I am happy to work around what best fits your pet's routine and needs! I do not currently have pets of my own, but I have previous experience caring for both dogs and cats. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. With dogs, I enjoy taking them of walks and making sure they get proper exercise and stimulation. With all animals, I focus on reading their energy and making sure they feel comfortable and happy no matter what mood they're in. I always aim to treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe and cared for in any setting.
About: I’ve been rescuing animals all of my life and I love doing so . There’s nothing better than being able to nurture such beautiful creatures . I don’t work so I have nothing but time and an open schedule for any one that needs it . Your word will actually be catered too I treat them just like they are my own pets with nothing but love cuddles and play time I am a true fur mom and take pride in so !
About: I have a strong affinity for felines and am dedicated to their care and well-being. Additionally, I am prepared to provide care for canines, including regular walks and affectionate attention. My priority is to ensure all pets, both cats and dogs, feel comfortable and secure in their home environment while their owners are away. I am employed part-time and am available to provide pop-in visits or overnight stays at my residence. My days off are Monday through Thursday, and I am able to assist at any time during those days. I am dedicated to providing loving and safe care for all pets. I will treat your pets as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of affection while you are away.
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 give them 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.
About: I have experience caring for varieties of dogs. Ranging from senior dogs to mobility impaired and even reactive dogs! I never turn away from any specific breeds either, every dog deserves to be loved and cared for in the way they need. I have pretty open availability throughout my week. I work a part-time job however only for a few hours in the evenings (4PM-10PM W-F, 11AM-4PM SUN, AVAILABLE ALL DAY M,T and SAT). Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions as I am very flexible! As mentioned, I treat all pets I care for with the same love I have for my own fur baby. At this time I am unable to care for other pets in my own home however I am open and willing to drive to your home in order to tend to your fur baby.
About: Experienced working with dogs of all size and breed. I personally own two rescue Pit-bull Terriers and a rescue cattle dog. Can work with larger more ‘rambunctious’ dog’s and their play style. I volunteer at the Maricopa dog shelters once a month. Cleaning, playing, feeding, and occasionally the peanut butter roofie for medication needs. Offer walks / wellness visits and can adhere to training routines if necessary. I have a designated spare room for overnight / home drop offs where your pup can have its own designated space. Located right next to Tempe Town Lake there are a lot of parks for play and exercise. Snacks provided, alert if your pup needs medications given or has allergies. Usual availability ranges from Mon-Sat 6-6pm. I work from home and set my own schedule so it allows for flexibility. I have a designated dog room for day care or overnight visits For dog sitting in my home: I have multiple dog gates that partition the house off so there is never a risk of my pups and yours crossing paths if they need to be separated. I have pupcams i keep active 24/7 for additional security. This live feed can be shared as well with you as well. Your home: I just follow your playbook. If you have specifications like where to sit, where the dog is allowed, what can and cannot be accessed in the home, share that with me. I treat your space like id want mine treated.
About: I have grown up in an environment full of animals. I feel a connect with them that makes me happy! Pets are like therapy to me and I love being around them. I am currently a student at ASU, but my work load is less this semester. I’m free over most weekends and some weekdays. I have looked after my friends’ pets and then realised how much I loved it! I live by myself and have a spacious, safe and clean space for the pet. I will ensure I supervise the pet at all times at my house
About: I’m super passionate about all types of animals, I grew up with dog and cats! I will always have a soft spot for any and all animals🫶🏾 I am currently available anytime throughout the day for your fur babies! Please feel free to reach out anytime if any questions or concerns, can't wait to connect soon(: I have a doggy park at my complex, the way my complex is set up I’m able to take walks around the lake everyday with my own pup!

“Brooke and her family were wonderful! They communicated well, sent photos, and overall great hosts for Remy. Would definitely book again and recommend!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Was very attentive to my comfortably and safety of my dog. She communicated well and gave updates. Was always a pleasure to speak to and understood Xena and I had some not so pleasant visits with a previous sitter, she reassured me that Xena was in good hands. Xena came back happy and healthy, full and played out. She had a good time and I would recommend this sitter to anyone in need of a safe place for a temporary stay. Great job”
“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.”
“Eric was truly amazing, believe every single outstanding review. It is very clear that he and his husband are so caring and loving towards the animals they keep. My two pups seemed comfortable and content the entire 5 days we were gone like they were with family. My husband and I went on a cruise and didn't have the best service but that didn't stop Eric from updating us everyday with pictures, videos, and a rundown of the day. And of course we cannot forget the cutest portraits of my pups that he took. Those are definitely our new favorite pictures! Anyone would be lucky to book with this household!”
“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.”
“Alani and her family took great care of my dogs. My oldest dog is blind and has diabetes. He needs insulin every 12 hours; nonetheless, Alani handled him very well. Both of my dogs typically come home after being boarded at a dog hotel with some weight loss, but with Alani that was NOT the case. 10/10 dog sitter.”
“Diamond had a great time with Ezra and Reina. He bonded well with them and adjusted to the transition from house to house without any visible trauma. Thank you both for being such dedicated caregivers.”
“Kaitlin and family were fantastic hosting my boy. This was my first time booking with Rover. Nearly immediate response to my availability inquiry after my neighbor kid told me last minute that he was going out of town and couldn’t watch my boy. I was able to continue with my travel plans and was put at ease. Many thanks & I will be a return client!”
“Maritza was wonderful and gave me daily updates and photos of Otis. Her two young daughters were also pictured with Otis and they were loving towards him. Otis appeared content and happy. I would definitely recommend Maritza as a loving and caring pet sitter. I will consider her as my first choice in the future.”
“Christina is very responsive and helped put my mind at ease when leaving my pup for the first time. My dog loves Christina and her family and has so much fun while he's there. He has so much fun playing and is always worn out when I pick him up! 🐶”
“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.”
“I had to fly in from Ohio to Pheonix for a business trip. Abby was amazing, she picked Singleton up from the airport, kept him overnight until late and returned him to me. She sent me pictures and updates and I felt comfortablethe whole time. I wish she lived in Ohio because I would use her everytime. You are amazing, amazing, amazing!”
“Daniel and Cassandra were great. They kept me informed, were prompt to return messages and kept my dog safe. I would not hesitate to use them again. Thanks.”
“Jemaury took real good care of my dog George. I sent him in and warned her that he was dirty because we'd been camping for a coupe of weeks. She offered to take him to the groomer and I came back from my trip to a squeaky clean dog. She's a very good communicator / quick to respond, and she would send me a few pics every time she took him for a walk or he did something cute. Highly recommend.”
“I'm glad I found Hayley! She took good care of my fur baby when I needed to board her. She kept me up to date daily. Boarding is hard on my girl and I wanted her to have an environment that would feel as close to home as possible. Luna was happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I would highly recommend Hayley and will be using her again in the future.”
