“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!”
“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!”
“Cindy is a great sitter and really understands our fuball’s routines. Gus has IVDD, needs eye drops 3x per day and lots of love and attention - Cindy helps in all these areas!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Eric‘s dog sitting service! He cared for our puppy, Izzy for 16 days and truly went above and beyond. From daily walks to giving her medicine and making sure she felt safe and comfortable at home, he treated her as if she were his own. Eric‘s home is spotless, welcoming, and perfectly suited for dogs. Izzy was pampered the whole time, and we loved receiving the constant stream of photos and videos that kept us connected while we were away. This with a surprise was the custom-made poop bag pouch with a cutout of Izzy - such a thoughtful gift! We felt completely at ease knowing Izzy was in his care and will absolutely turn to Eric again whenever we need help. Highly recommended!”
“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.”
“Darbi and Nathanael took excellent care of our three pups. They offered a meet and greet ahead of our first booking, which was wonderful. We felt reassured and worry free leaving our pups in their care traveling. They paid careful attention to each pup’s needs and shared updates of how it was going. 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.”
“Highly recommend! Marichelle does a great job sending updates with pictures and videos. Luke loved being able to have a similar sized buddy to play with and received lots of great attention.”
“Danielle was amazing! You can tell she loves dogs and cares for them as if they are her own. We got daily pics and updates on Violette’s stay which we loved. Violette also got along great with Danielle’s pups. Will def be using her again!”
“Nicole and Rose are amazing! They have helped soothe my dogs separation anxiety while I’m at work and he is so much happier! My stress has also been alleviated and I know that my baby is safe and being loved on! They send updates and pics throughout the day as well! Highly recommend if you want someone to love your dog and know your pet is being taken care of!”
“Kiersten was the absolute best! I have never left my dogs with anyone other than family, but she was kind and took the time to meet me before and let the dogs meet too. She sent me photos and videos and was so kind with all my questions and checking in. She only books 1 client at a time so I didn’t have to worry about more dogs or cats staying with her that we didn’t get to do a meet and greet with. She was very patient and understanding of our dogs “quarks”. My dogs became very comfortable at her home and comfortable with her dog. Bella was also an amazing hostess, and so kind to share her toys. We will definitely only use Kiersten if we have to leave our dogs again. 100000/10.”
“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!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my baby dog, KK! Your love and attention made him feel like part of your family, and he was so happy and comfortable during his stay. I truly appreciate everything you did, and I highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring dog sitter. Thank you 🤗❤️🐾🐶”
“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.”
“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!”
“It’s our first time to use Rover and Kristi accepted a last minute request. We had a great experience with Kristi. She sends us pictures/ videos / updates everyday while we were away . We know Daizo found a home while we were gone.. She is also very flexible with drop off and pick up. Highly recommended.”
“I am new to the area, and had a week long business trip. I needed to find a kind and caring individual who would take my loving boy, Ace, into their home for dog boarding while I was away. Ace had been through several changes in the past few months, with the move from another state and leaving the security of the only home he had known and the only people he knew and felt comfortable with. I wanted to ensure that Ace would be well taken care of in an environment where he was the only dog, and could retain the day-to-day routine we had established. I saw William's profile and thought he would be a perfect match. One the initial meeting, I could tell Ace felt comfortable. Ace can be a bit skittish with new people, but he seems very relaxed and warmed up to William right away. William walked me through his plan and daily routine for Ace and asked relative questions. I felt comfortable as well, and William took very good care of Ace while I was on my business trip. I received updates and pictures a couple times a day. Ace loves walks, and he got to walk and explore the area with William. I could tell Ace was having a wonderful time, and he was comfortable and relaxed. Ace is also on medication, and William made sure he got his dosage every day. Turkey breast treats were a big hit with Ace as well :-). I would highly recommend William as a knowledgeable and caring pet professional who will treat your loving pet as part of his family.”
“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!”
“Here’s a review you might find useful: Ashley and Tony were absolutely amazing! Otis had a fantastic time with them. Ashley kept us updated with tons of pictures and even made Otis some delicious puppy pancakes that he clearly loved. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“I’ve used Paola twice and both times, she was amazing! She sent pictures and updates daily. I have 2 large dogs and one is very anxious but Paola was very good with her (she was great with both of them). I highly recommend Paola and will use her again!”
“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.”

“Danielle is awesome. I was very worried about leaving my 17 year old tabby. She sent several pictures a day to let me see for myself that Marley was ?ok”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Sherri was so amazing with Aldous!!! Sometimes it takes him a while to warm up to people, but he was cuddling with her right away. I went on a 8 day trip to Ireland and wasn't worried at all about my kitty Aldous. She updated me everyday and took amazing action photos of him playing. Are flight also got delayed and she was able to go later in the day to feed him. She will definitely be our go to for our trips going forward!!! Sherri is family. ❤️?”
“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.”
“Madison is always wonderful with the kids! She did a quick drop-in to feed our three cats and made sure to spend a little time with them too. Super responsive, reliable, and sweet—we’re so grateful for her help!”
“Valerie was AWESOME! She left me descriptive report cards and sent TONS of pictures. She is the sweetest girl and has such a heartwarming love for cats. My kittens were spoiled with love and attention for sure.❤️😊”
“Alexandra watched my two cats for 5 days and did an amazing job- they were super happy when I got back and she did a fabulous job of keeping me updated and sending lots of pictures, which put me at such ease. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“We were in an emergency and reached out to Rover and found Sheridan and Adam P.. So happy we did. They took immediate available care of our critical short term needs then continued super care of our 3 large dogs and cats! Snuggle time, walks, food time all went unbelievably well. And we loved all the pictures. Thanks so much!”
“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!”
“Briana was so incredible! She went above and beyond taking care of my two cats on an overnight stay. They were super comfortable around her. It’s obvious that she has a natural bond with animals. She even noticed a health concern that I wasn’t aware of with one of my cats and had great advice. She is very trust worthy and took great care of my house, too.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Estefany was great with my cat! My cat is shy and would hide when she first came in but she hungout and waited until he felt brave enough to come out for attention and pets. I felt reassured and confident my cat was in great hands the whole time I was away!”
“John was great taking care of our two cats including doing an inhaler for one of them! He immediately connected with them when we gave him the keys and I could tell he enjoyed spending time with them on his visits as there were pictures of them playing with their favorite toys. Would definitely ask him to watch them again and recommend him!”

“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Susan did an amazing job watching Ava for the day! Took her out for walks multiple times, played with her and sent multiple updates and picture to let me know she was settling in well. I would highly recommend Susan!”
“Laree and Keith are lovely people who are clearly very experienced with dogs and love them very much. I feel like my girls are well taken care of there.”
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.
“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!”
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.

“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.”

“Rosie loves days that she gets to go to Jessica’s! She always has a great time and leaves tired. And Jessica is great at communicating and working with our schedule. Would recommend!”
“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.”
About: I am here for all the little doggies. I have a teacup yorkie myself. Small dogs need a safe place to be loved. Where their little egos can be fed and they can get all the cuddles needed while away from their family. I have a good size backyard, but they aren't allowed out there without supervision for their safety. My neighborhood has beautiful walking paths for daily walks. We have enough room where your dog could have a safe place of their own if he needed at nighttime. I do daily walks with my dog that your dog could join if they like. I work from home full-time so potty breaks and cuddles could be frequent if needed. Also because I work from home, if your dog prefers 3 smaller meals a day I can accommodate that type of scheduled. I would accommodate any diet schedule/accommodations needed. Some medications I could administer if needed. Your dog would get at least one walk per day. Nice backyard for them to play in. Back yard is fully fenced and does not have a pool.
“We were so fortunate to have Courtney watch our Maggie this past Thursday and Friday. She was so good with our little girl since this was the first time she stayed with anyone other than my daughter. She was scared at first and Courtney sent the cutest picture of her in her lap as her co-worker. We are very pleased in how well she loved our little girl as much as we do. I would highly recommend her to everyone. Thanks again Courtney. Five plus stars for sure. 😊😋”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 50 years. They’ve been my loyal, playful companions, and I provide patient, loving care to every pup I meet.

I am also available to bring them to my home if they get along with my three dogs. Pets in my care enjoy daily walks, quality meals, and a loving home environment. They’re treated like family, with comfort, safety, and companionship every day.

“Dani is a truly FANTASTIC dog walker. My little homie liked her right away when they first met. I have found Dani to be very professional and completely reliable. I highly recommend her for care of your pup!”
About: 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 ❤️
“Sara was amazing with my boy, Nox. Despite needing to make a few modifications to the booking because of unexpected work plans, I am grateful Sara was able to accomodate my schedule changes. She had great communication and would update me with photos regularly. It gave me total piece of mind that my dog was in good hands. I'd be happy work with Sara again in the future.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Susi has been such a joy to work with this year. We are so thankful to have her when we are away. She’s dependable, communicates well and loves our dog her own. Thank you Susi!”
“So grateful Ariana was able to walk Dexter! Ariana was super kind, professional and patient with Dexter’s leash pulling 🥹 he is in training now so hopefully he will get better and better at walks and we’ll be able to rebook Ariana soon!! Thank you SO Much! You’re amazing!”
“Madison is amazing! She takes such good care of my Dog, Toby! He’s always to happy to see her and I know she not only cares for him, but also cares about him. She communicates clearly with me how her time with him went and what they do during their time together. I’m so lucky to have connected with Madison through Rover!”
About: Hi I’m Taylor I’m 21 years old and a huge animal lover with three dogs of my own I absolutely love caring for animals and have experience with dogs cats horses bunnies snakes lizards and other exotic pets I’m comfortable with all sizes personalities and energy levels and always make sure pets feel safe loved and happy I’m reliable patient and love spending time playing walking cuddling and caring for animals like they’re my own I also send lots of updates and pictures so you can feel relaxed and know your pets are having a great time while you’re away I have a very flexible schedule since i mainly work from home. I have a part time job but rarely work there due to personal reasons. I spoil my dogs and treat them as if they were my own kids. I take time in learning what they enjoy, and their routine to not upset them.
“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: I have 40+ years of loving, nurturing and training pets, including dogs, cats, horses, birds, ferrets, reptiles. I’ve had several training workshops for horses which has amplified the quality of interaction and communication with all my pets. Animals have always been drawn to me as I to them and has always been a major component that enriches my life. You can trust that I will love your pet unconditionally and give them the attention and focus you would give them. I currently work from home which allows me the flexibility to modify my schedule based on your fur baby’s needs for walking and care routines. Each client and fur baby has their own schedule and unique needs and so I tailor my service based on each situation so as to keep their life as consistent and normal as possible while you are away.
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember! I am new to the Rover community but I am not new to loving on the pups as I have committed myself to learning the best ways to adapt and give the best care for them. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs, I will dedicate my time to loving them (which is SO easy for me to do). I would be honored to take them to a dog park where they can also interact with the other puppers while you’re away! While I have had dogs of all sizes my entire life, I do not have any dogs of my own at the moment. This means I am full of energy and love to give to you and yours! I currently work from home part time so I have lots of time and love to give! This is intentional as I would like to spend more of time around the doggos. I am mostly available M-F but can be available on the weekends as needed, spending time with your pup is something I look forward to! My apartment has a dog park for both small and big dogs, as well as a full park just down the street. I do not own a crate of my own at the moment but I am able to set up their home crate in my space if needed.
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.

“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!”
“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: 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.

“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!”
“Julie and James were amazing! This was the first time I have ever left my dogs with anyone., She made me feel at ease. Julie sent pictures and communicated with me every step of the way. When we came home my dogs are even better behaved then when I dropped them off. I would definitely take my dogs there again and would recommend her and her family.”
“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!”
“Darbi and Nathanael took excellent care of our three pups. They offered a meet and greet ahead of our first booking, which was wonderful. We felt reassured and worry free leaving our pups in their care traveling. They paid careful attention to each pup’s needs and shared updates of how it was going. 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.”
“Kiersten was the absolute best! I have never left my dogs with anyone other than family, but she was kind and took the time to meet me before and let the dogs meet too. She sent me photos and videos and was so kind with all my questions and checking in. She only books 1 client at a time so I didn’t have to worry about more dogs or cats staying with her that we didn’t get to do a meet and greet with. She was very patient and understanding of our dogs “quarks”. My dogs became very comfortable at her home and comfortable with her dog. Bella was also an amazing hostess, and so kind to share her toys. We will definitely only use Kiersten if we have to leave our dogs again. 100000/10.”
“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!”
“I am new to the area, and had a week long business trip. I needed to find a kind and caring individual who would take my loving boy, Ace, into their home for dog boarding while I was away. Ace had been through several changes in the past few months, with the move from another state and leaving the security of the only home he had known and the only people he knew and felt comfortable with. I wanted to ensure that Ace would be well taken care of in an environment where he was the only dog, and could retain the day-to-day routine we had established. I saw William's profile and thought he would be a perfect match. One the initial meeting, I could tell Ace felt comfortable. Ace can be a bit skittish with new people, but he seems very relaxed and warmed up to William right away. William walked me through his plan and daily routine for Ace and asked relative questions. I felt comfortable as well, and William took very good care of Ace while I was on my business trip. I received updates and pictures a couple times a day. Ace loves walks, and he got to walk and explore the area with William. I could tell Ace was having a wonderful time, and he was comfortable and relaxed. Ace is also on medication, and William made sure he got his dosage every day. Turkey breast treats were a big hit with Ace as well :-). I would highly recommend William as a knowledgeable and caring pet professional who will treat your loving pet as part of his family.”
“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!”
“Here’s a review you might find useful: Ashley and Tony were absolutely amazing! Otis had a fantastic time with them. Ashley kept us updated with tons of pictures and even made Otis some delicious puppy pancakes that he clearly loved. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“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.”
“Veronica was amazing. She took great care of our dog Birdie while we were out of town. She made us feel super comfortable and provided excellent care of our pup. She kept us updated everyday we were gone and even monitored our dogs eating habits as she gets a little anxious when we are away. She went above and beyond to make sure us and our dog were comfortable and we really appreciate her. We will definitely be using her again next time we go out of town.”
“Heidi is wonderful! Our 2 boys were well cared for and very active while in her care. She sent frequent updates with pictures and videos. It was wonderful to get away for a short family trip knowing our other family members were also having some fun. Thank you again to Heidi and her family for being so patient and kind with our dogs.”
“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 ❤️❤️”
“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!”
“As always, Ada & Fred took incredible care of our pup while we were away. Our girl was so excited to see them when we dropped her off and we received photos and communication daily through the app. I highly recommend them and will certainly book again in the future!”
“Highly recommended!! She took care of starla like her own dog she give updates all day long i went for a vacation and it was so peaceful knowing she is well taken care of!!
