“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“George had another great stay with Melanie. I really appreciate that she’s very responsible with not only George but the other dogs she cares for too. Thanks Melanie and see you again soon.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“My first impression of Julia was that she was very warm, kind and loving person and my dogs fell right in with her dogs. I received many picture updates during the stay with comments on how they were doing. This was my first stay with them definitely not the ladt.”
“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!”
“Trish was incredible! I know Brut had the best time. Plenty of walks and play time. Great communication and loved all the photos. Beautiful home, backyard and caring people. Brut will definitely be back. Highly recommend!”
“Just picked up my boy from a weekend of absolute fun with Amber! This was my first time boarding him and I could not be happier with how things went. I loved all the pictures and videos ❤️❤️”
“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!”
“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.”
“Our first time using a pet sitter for our 18 month old female GSD and the experience could not have been better, for us or our pup! Right from the meet and greet, Christian and Hana calmed any worries we had and left us with great confidence that our pup would be taken care of. Hana provided updates with photos throughout her stay, and we were able to enjoy ourselves knowing she was in great hands. We will definitely be using Christian and Hana again and are very grateful to have found them!”
“Alex is awesome! Our family had to go out of town for couple days and first time to be away without my dog. I was glad to found Alex to take care my dog Mochi. Alex would always send updates on what Mochi is doing, so I would not worry and felt at ease. Thank You Alex!”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs for more than 30 years. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs, and I treat every pet in our care like part of the family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply providing a safe and comfortable place to relax, your dog will receive plenty of attention, patience, and love while they’re with me. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into our my daily routine. I have flexible schedules and plenty of time to give your dog the attention, playtime, walks, and companionship they need. I enjoy having dogs around and will make sure your pup feels comfortable, loved, and included while in my care. I have a large fenced in yard to allow your dog plenty of space to play and get outside fun in. I will provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home where your dog will be treated like part of the family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and we will follow your care instructions closely. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and loved. 🐾
“Ana and her boyfriend were absolutely fabulous!!! They took care of my dog like their own pet and I could tell at the time of pickup my dog had become really fond of them. All instructions for food etc were well followed. Ana was amazing at sending me pictures everyday which eased my anxiety. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommend them to all pet owners looking for an amazing sitter .”
“Rachel took great care of my Allie while I was traveling over the holidays. It was Allie's first time staying away from home so she was a bit nervous at first. Rachel sent me updates & pictures to let me know how Allie was doing each day. Allie got lots of attention and was very happy there. I will be calling Rachel to watch Allie again on my next trip.”

“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.”
“Kiley did a great job taking care of my high maintenance senior cat. She provided updates on how things were going while we were gone and I felt my old gal was in great hands. Will definitely use her again!”
“Elise is always super sweet with my cat Yuki and very thorough with the check ins visits! I know I can relax while I’m away because I know Yuki is in good capable hands. I definitely recommend Elise for your pet care needs!!”
“Trish is amazing as always! My pups love her and it’s nice knowing I have a trustworthy and dependable person to look after them. Will definitely reach out to her again.”
“Sicily is always the BEST!! Great communication and pics/vids of Stevie and Tommy. Sicily always is on time and a thorough clean up and time spent makes me reach out to her any time I leave town, I trust her Explicitly!”
“Rebecca took wonderful care of our kitties Tala and Vudu while we were gone for a week. She was responsive and gave us great updates that kept my mind at ease. We came home to very happy cats!”
“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.”
“Kayla was amazing!! Very nice, responsible, responsive, and trustworthy!! She took good care of my kitty and even brought in packages for me that were delivered. I would definitely hire her again!!”
“Heaven was an excellent sitter for my Miss Kitty! She made her feel comfortable, which was clear from the pictures she sent, and my Kitty is normally very shy around strangers. She took her outside, scooped her poop, fed / watered her according to my instructions, and kept her company while I was home for Christmas. She even did the dishes! Would definitely recommend Heaven as a pet sitter.”
“Emilee is SO good with our kitties (and one of them can be really difficult around strangers)! She is reliable, has great communication and always sends the cutest photos to put our minds at ease! We are so grateful to have found her - our favorite pet sitter we’ve ever had! :)”
“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!”
“Kayleigh was perfect! She gave me such peace of mind and communicated so well! I was nervous about leaving my pet for the first time, but after meeting with Kayleigh and disusing everything, I had nothing to worry about. She was kind, appropriate, respectful, and an obvious animal lover!”
“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!”
“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 !!!”
“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.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we love it! We chose Cecilia O. because of her experience with cat's and injections. We were going out of town and our cute fat cat is diabetic and needs insulin shots. Cecilia came and met us and our cat before our trip and we all instantly fell in love with her! While we were on our trip not only did we get the Rover cards with lots pictures and updates Cecilia and I kept touch through text. She went far beyond our expectations. Cecilia stayed longer than her required time so my cat could stay outside on our patio longer, she played with him, brushed him, groomed him, cleaned his little box almost every day and of course fed him and gave him his shot. She even brought a gift for our cat at the end. Cecilia is amazing and we love her and will definitely use her again and Rover!”

“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.

“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Emily was great with my dog Gojo! He had so much fun playing with her dog Peppa. She updated me on how he was doing throughout the day and sent pictures of his stay. He came home after a day of fun tired and it was reassuring to know he was in the care of an amazing sitter. I would definitely book 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.
“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”

“What can I say except at Cynthia is incredible! Oliver gets so excited as soon as he sees that we are turning onto her street. I’m always at peace when he’s with her because I know that she’s giving him all of the love, snuggles and playtime that he wants and needs. I could ask for a better person to care for my little guy!”
“Rachel and her kids did such an amazing job taking care of Ollie and Kitty, they walked the dogs and she sent us photos and kept us updated throughout each day! The dogs came home pooped each day we picked them up. We would not hesitate to book her again! Thanks so much Rachel for taking such good care of our dogs!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”

“I reached out last minute and Dezi responded quickly. Communication was excellent from start to finish and I really appreciated the photo updates during the walk. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pet 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!”
“You can have peace of mind when you book with Kayla, she has been amazing with my 6 month old fur baby. Not only does she let you know when she has arrived but she gives you updates throughout her visit, I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trusting and reliable dog handler.”
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 ❤️
“Stephanie is a wonderful person, reliable, and my puppy loves her. I appreciate having someone I can count on and that is a trustworthy person to walk my pupper during the day. Thanks Stephanie so much!”
“My dog isn’t the easiest to get out the first try because he is so scared with new people. Daniel got him out and stuck with it which I’m so thankful! I’ll continue to ask for his help when I need it.”
“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 experienced pet sitter with over 7 years of experience caring for dogs through in-home sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I previously worked for a dog training business, where I learned proper leash handling, dog behavior, and positive training techniques that I continue to use while caring for every dog. I’m also certified by the Arizona Humane Society in dog care, giving me additional knowledge in safe handling and animal welfare. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including senior dogs who require daily oral medications, and I always strive to make each pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. As a graduate student and educator, I’m dependable, organized, and great at communicating. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. As a graduate student, I have a consistent schedule that allows me to provide reliable morning and evening visits throughout the week. My visits include feeding, walks or playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I may also be available for overnight stays on select weekends. I always prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine and providing dependable care you can count on. Due to my years of experience, I am able to provide your dog(s) with the attention and care that they require. Whether it be crate training, water & shade on walks, or play!
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.
“Alan was very receptive to all of our concerns with walking Archer. I think he did a great job with making us feel comfortable as pet parents and also giving Archer a great workout!”
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!
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: Hi! My name is Izzy, and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both cats and dogs and have spent most of my life caring for them, fostering them, and learning what they need to feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve worked professionally with animals at a vet clinic for about 6 months and at two different kennels for a total of about two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets of all personalities and needs. During this time I learned how to properly handle feeding routines, recognize when pets need bathroom breaks or litter box changes, and administer medications when needed. I’ve also fostered both cats and dogs throughout my life, which has taught me patience, compassion, and how to help animals adjust to new environments. Currently, I have a pet of my own who I absolutely adore and care for every day. Outside of pet care, I’m a fitness instructor, so I love staying active and spending time outdoors. Long walks, playtime, and getting pets moving is something I truly enjoy. But I also appreciate the quiet side of pet care—relaxing on the couch, giving pets attention, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Living with and caring for animals has shown me how important they are in our lives. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and make sure they feel happy, safe, and well taken care of while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible, which allows me to fit pet care easily into my week. I currently work part-time Thursday and Friday nights and attend school Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Outside of those times, I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime. I’m happy to stop by once or twice a day to make sure pets are cared for and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 I have two cats of my own, so I’m unable to host other pets in my home. However, I’m happy to come to your home to provide care. This can include walks and playtime for dogs, and feeding, playtime, and litter care for cats, typically twice a day. but more if needed! I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and happy in their own environment while you’re away. I can easily follow directions when it comes to something specific and i am happy to accommodate to the needs of your pet and make sure they are provided for.

“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!”

“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!”
“Here’s a review you might find useful: Ashley and Tony were absolutely amazing! Otis had a fantastic time with them.

“Our first time using a pet sitter for our 18 month old female GSD and the experience could not have been better, for us or our pup! Right from the meet and greet, Christian and Hana calmed any worries we had and left us with great confidence that our pup would be taken care of. Hana provided updates with photos throughout her stay, and we were able to enjoy ourselves knowing she was in great hands. We will definitely be using Christian and Hana again and are very grateful to have found them!”

“Stacy was so great with Rya. She gave me updates each day to ease my mind and ensure that Rya was in great hands. Rya came back super happy after her stay, and I will definitely be using Stacy again in the future! :)”
“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.”
“Wally had a dream weekend staying with Dawn and Andrew. He loved to swim in the pool and got endless cuddles and playtime. We got video and photo updates and knew he was in good hands. We will definitely book with them again!”

“Darbi and Nathanael took excellent care of our three pups. They offered a meet and greet ahead of our first booking, which was wonderful.

When we picked up our pups, they seemed to have had a wonderful time and were very content. Thank you for your care! We appreciate it and will rebook.”
