“Brooke cared for Charlie as if he were here own. He came back to me very calm and relaxed, which is always a good sign. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Ashley was an excellent sitter! It was my first time using her, and the meet and greet went well. My pup stayed with her for a week and she was very responsive, and communicated really well. I felt like she genuinely cared about my dog and he seemed well taken care of. Would highly recommend.”
“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.”
“I’m very grateful to Cindy who took care of Nala for this week. From day one, she kept me completely at ease by sending daily photos and videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It’s clear that she treated Nala with great care and affection, as if she were her own. Nala looked happy, well cared for, and in excellent hands the entire time. I would definitely recommend her and would trust her again without hesitation in the future.”
“Marina was absolutely WONDERFUL. She sent me updates on Benji every morning, noon and in the evening! Benji got along with her pups and he looked very happy! We were a little late picking him up but Marina understood completely. We would definitely book with Marina again for our boarding needs!!”
“Second time having this wonderful family watch my 2 pups. This stay was for 12 nights. I truly feel so comfortable leaving them, they are the best of the best. The consistent text + photo updates and responsive communication are spot on. Definitely so lucky to have them!”
“Alani was great. She was responsive and sent updates regularly. Will definitely book with her again. This was my first time using rover and we had to book last minute and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Highly recommend using Alani to care for your furry friends!”
“Eric took great care of Kuma over 2 weeks and I could tell he was having a great time. Got lots of amazing pictures and updates. I would definitely book with Eric again in the future for anytime!”
“Made my pup feel right at home, right away, and usually that takes him a minute because he’s a nervous boy! He loved his stay so much I’m sure he didn’t want to come home! Would definitely have Ana watch him again, any day! She sent so many picture updates which was great because we missed him!”
“What a wonderful experience having Ezra pet sat for our two pups. He was personable, communicative, kind and professional. He has designed a special place at his home to make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and engaged. He loves what he does and it shows.”
“Could not have had a better minder for our 10 month cockapoo Frankie!!!! Julia and her family are honestly the best. We were quite anxious about leaving Frankie since we’ve both been working from home and he had never been away from us for more then a couple of hours let alone an entire week. Julia reassured us it would be fine even before we left him there. Her set up is so great and she constantly kept me updated with pics of Frankie. I know he had the best time! I will 100% have Julia look after him again.”
“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.”
“Sergio and his family were great to work with and my dog loved staying with them. They were easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating when I needed to adjust times due to schedule changes. I’m so lucky to have found a great place for Scout to stay and look forward to using them again in the future.”
“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!!!!!!”
“My dog Fancy instantly liked Sara when I dropped her off for her first booking. This second booking my dog remembered Sara and was happy to see her. Pics and videos of my happy dog playing were the icing on the cake and it made my vacation cruise even better knowing that my dog was having a good time!! Thank you l!!”
“This was my first time using rover and it was a last minute trip, so I was really in a pickle and luckily found Jackie. My little Georgie is a bit of a nervous nellie and I was worried about his separation anxiety. Jackie sent me pictures while I was away, and I could tell George he was having the best time. I would definitely recommend using Jackie and I will be using her again myself in the future!”
“Outstanding experience boarding our dog with Christina. She was extremely conscientious and genuinely caring, and it really showed in her frequent updates and photos. Will use her in the future for sure.”
“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.”
“Absolutely love that my pups could have a special Thanksgiving surrounded by love from Ash and her family. Ash gave them each their special pup cups which is so sweet. All my pups are foodies and it was wonderful that this was included without any upcharge that would be typical at a boarding facility. As usual I was sent such cute pictures and videos. The newest picture is now my phone screen saver. Don't hesitate to use Ash! She's truly the best.”
“Kelly and family took amazing care of our dog while we were out of town. It was so comforting knowing he was having a blast with friendly folks while we were away.”

“Jadon did an amazing job caring for my two cats while I was away. He consistently sent photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel like I could truly trust him with my pets and my home. What stood out the most was seeing how comfortable my cats were with him in the pictures. They're usually selective about people, and it was obvious that they trusted him and felt safe in his care. I would absolutely recommend Jadon to anyone. He’s truly reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy.”

“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 been around cats my entire life and truly understand their unique personalities and needs. I’ve cared for cats both personally and professionally, including fostering cats over the years and working in a veterinary clinic and kennels where I gained hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box care, administering medications, and recognizing when a cat needs attention or space. Living with and caring for cats has taught me how important patience and trust are when it comes to making them feel comfortable. Whether your cat loves playtime, quiet companionship, or just someone to make sure their routine stays the same, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I treat every cat like my own and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Diana was incredible and did a great job looking after my cat Fernando. She went above and beyond and really helped me out with seeing him on shirt notice. Next time out of town I will definitely reach out again!”
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.
About: When i was 8 years old, I got a dog (my sister basically) at my family’s place for 18 years. Camilla was her name. She passed away a few years ago and i felt devastated by it, since I shared basically my entire childhood with her. I love dogs more than anything else. I usually watch a friend of mine’s dog, Biscuit, a Shiba Inu. He stays and sleep with me in my room, in a house, where all my 7 housemates love dogs. I’d love to get my own dog, but right now I just don’t have the time and commitment to get one due to work and travel. I’d love to take care of someone else dog with drop ins or also at your place. My work schedule is very flexible and usually work 4-6 hours per day. I can spend most of my day out with dogs or at home if needed I’m on travel right now around Arizona, so i can take care of your dogs at your place or by doing walks out at parks

“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!”
About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience looking after dogs, cats, and even lizards for friends, family, and neighbors. Growing up in South Carolina, I was always surrounded by animals and family pets, which helped build my love and understanding of them from a young age. I'm confident caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I have a calm, patient nature, and I believe animals can sense that and tend to feel comfortable around me. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs a little extra patience, I'm happy to meet them where they're at and give them the care they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to give both you and your pet peace of mind by providing dependable, attentive care. My schedule is pretty flexible for the summer as i am a student and during the school year my classes are 4 days a week only a couple house during the day mom-thursday. i will have plenty of time and am very flexible for all sort of schedules I live in an apartment and it is safe clean no food lying around, right outside tempe town lake so good walking and bathroom areas for pets
“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.”
“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’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.
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.
“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!”
“Nadia was amazing! It is very challenging for me to find someone who I can trust with my little pup because he is very high alert and can be difficult to handle. Nadia was extremely patient with my feisty pup, and was even kind enough to accommodate to my schedule. Can't recommend enough!”
“Our dog Tito had a great time with Alicia for the day, we felt very comfortable leaving him for the first time. She was very communicative & Tito came back happy and tired.”
“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.”
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!
“David is actually the original Dog Whisperer or he was a dog in a previous life! He shows so much love to each pet in his care. He teaches while he cares for them. Thank you David!”
“Marina took great care of our puppy Boston for the day and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was communicative, attentive, and clearly very comfortable around dogs. Boston came home happy, tired, and well cared for — always a great sign. You can tell Marina genuinely enjoys spending time with the dogs she watches and gives them plenty of attention and activity. We really appreciated the peace of mind knowing Boston was in good hands. Would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend Marina to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
About: I’ve had a Yorkie named Cooper since I was young and he currently lives with my parents back in Cleveland. I love dogs so much and I believe you should take care of dogs like you do your kids! I work fully remote, so I will be at home and play with the dogs all day! I will show them love and be able to feed them and take them to the bathroom whenever they need it! I also have a dog park at my apartment and a park in walking distance! I will play or walk the dogs whenever they need it, I love to exercise and move around! They will never not be shown love!
About: 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.
“Melissa helped me out last minute when I needed someone same-day. She was really quick to communicate and flexible. After arriving it was really clear to me that she’s the kind of person who just ‘gets’ dogs. My little guy can be a little slow to warm up to people and get comfortable, but he seemed immediately right at home in her house. She kind of just has that calming energy that dogs seem to click with. I also loved how ideal her house is for dogs with the doggy door and backyard. Nothing but good things to say—I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
About: Hi! I go by Susie. I grew up having like 20 pets so def a huge animal lover. I moved to Arizona in May and miss my Australian Shepherd so much. He’s in Chicago with my family (I can’t remove him from my rover profile here). I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs and understand the different levels of care, patience, and attention each needs. I would love to care for your fur baby as if they were my own. Hopefully this makes up for some of the sadness of missing my dog. Thanks for considering me :) I work fully remote, so your pet will get lots of attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and playtime to match your pet’s routine. My apartment is in a safe, gated, pet-friendly community with a dog park. Pets will have a comfortable place to relax, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of love and attention while in my care.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Riverside
Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“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: 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, 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'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.
“Kaylie is amazing she took care of my huskies for 2 weeks while I was overseas. the pups love her, she is the only one I trust when I’m gone, specially for such a long time. She is very punctual and great communicating the dog’s status and needs.”
“The best dog sitter ever!!! Honestly Trinity goes the extra mile to make your dog happy. My lab is a big boy and she can get him to play and be totally exhausted when he gets home. He has gotten used to their daily walks and waits for her everyday. When we go back to Seattle we will truly miss her! This experience has been beyond my expectations! Thanks!”
“Teresa has been absolutely wonderful with Stella, has walked her every day from 8 weeks to 6 months around lunch to help my husband and I with our work schedule. She provides clear communication and plenty of pictures and has been very flexible with our work schedules. My dog loves her! Would highly recommend her.”
About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience looking after dogs, cats, and even lizards for friends, family, and neighbors. Growing up in South Carolina, I was always surrounded by animals and family pets, which helped build my love and understanding of them from a young age. I'm confident caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I have a calm, patient nature, and I believe animals can sense that and tend to feel comfortable around me. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs a little extra patience, I'm happy to meet them where they're at and give them the care they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to give both you and your pet peace of mind by providing dependable, attentive care. My schedule is pretty flexible for the summer as i am a student and during the school year my classes are 4 days a week only a couple house during the day mom-thursday. i will have plenty of time and am very flexible for all sort of schedules I live in an apartment and it is safe clean no food lying around, right outside tempe town lake so good walking and bathroom areas for pets

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.

We can crate dogs if their owners would require us too.
About: I've had dogs in my life since day 1, and started professionally taking care of dogs as a vet assistant when I was 16.

I've also volunteered at animal shelters since I was a teenager and have experience working with aggressive dogs, high energy dogs, low energy dogs, and honestly everything in between! As a PhD student, my schedule is extremely flexible. I can easily fit pet care into any part of my day, any day a week. I have a very sweet and happy dog at home that loves to hang with other dogs, including the less social ones. My house is large and includes a doggy door and a fully fenced backyard. I have a crate if you'd prefer your dog to be crated. If working on campus, I stillI come home every couple hours to give my dog attention and can easily do the same for yours!

“Marina was absolutely WONDERFUL. She sent me updates on Benji every morning, noon and in the evening! Benji got along with her pups and he looked very happy! We were a little late picking him up but Marina understood completely. We would definitely book with Marina again for our boarding needs!!”
“Second time having this wonderful family watch my 2 pups. This stay was for 12 nights. I truly feel so comfortable leaving them, they are the best of the best. The consistent text + photo updates and responsive communication are spot on. Definitely so lucky to have them!”
“Alani was great. She was responsive and sent updates regularly. Will definitely book with her again. This was my first time using rover and we had to book last minute and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Highly recommend using Alani to care for your furry friends!”
“Eric took great care of Kuma over 2 weeks and I could tell he was having a great time. Got lots of amazing pictures and updates. I would definitely book with Eric again in the future for anytime!”
“What a wonderful experience having Ezra pet sat for our two pups. He was personable, communicative, kind and professional. He has designed a special place at his home to make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and engaged. He loves what he does and it shows.”
“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.”
“Sergio and his family were great to work with and my dog loved staying with them. They were easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating when I needed to adjust times due to schedule changes. I’m so lucky to have found a great place for Scout to stay and look forward to using them again in the future.”
“Outstanding experience boarding our dog with Christina. She was extremely conscientious and genuinely caring, and it really showed in her frequent updates and photos. Will use her in the future for sure.”
“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.”
“We got so many updates & pictures while away & our dog was so happy staying with Madison. We felt way more comfortable leaving him with her than boarding at a kennel. We would definitely use Madison in the future :)”
“Susan and Peter were amazing! Coco was so comfortable and well taken care of at their house. They provided frequent updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We are planning to have Coco visit Susan and Peter again in a few weeks. I would highly recommend them to any pet owner looking for a trusted sitter.”
“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.”
“This is our second time using Veronica and her family and both times it has been perfectly smooth! She provided updates on our dog throughout the entire weekend. We will continue to use her anytime we need a sitter!”
“Zach and Maddie were the absolute best! From the moment I met them I knew my dog was in great hands. They are genuine dog lovers. I got lots of updates while I was away. It was such a relief being gone for a week and not having to worry about my dog. They even took him on a picnic! 10/10. Highly recommend.”
“Rachael was an absolute delight from the beginning. TRUSTWORTHY, FRIENDLY, THOUGHTFUL, HUMBLE, WITH A GOOD HEART I could sense she was truly excited to have a dog to love and care for. For us, she was BEYOND what we expected in a good sitter. Our Shepsky hasnt been with us an entire year yet so while she is a good girl, we were reserved wondering if she would feel comfortable and how she'd settle in around strangers. Within a few hours I got a couple of the pictures I needed. Belly up on the couch with some good people and good pets. Rachael seems to know dogs well but is incredibly humble which I believe is SUPER important when it comes to keeping dogs safe and not making assumptions. When our dog was returned to us she was tired and even more friendly and settled in than when we dropped her off. I can tell she was spoiled! Upon eye contact she is now gushing and loving up on people. (Sorry, have to add: she was a day away from euthanasia when I picked her up at the shelter and to see her leave Rachael's home a happy, perfect little princess made me cry) So thankful for Rachael's care!”
“Maritza and her family were amazing with my fur baby. It was very short notice, same day, that I needed to find a sitter for a week long trip. I met with her and her pup Ozzy. They seemed to get along, Ozzy a bigger pup than my Daisy was very gentle. Daisy loved the family, playing with the littles and snuggling in between at night. Daisy will definitely be visiting again. Daisy was taken care of, loved and spoiled. I felt very comfortable and at ease leaving her. I would recommend Maritza to anyone especially those who might be a first time using a sitter.”
“Roxanne was great and I will be rebooking for future sits. She was very flexible with the last minute request to watch Posie and even for a meet a greet prior. I knew Posie was in good hands from the update after drop off and I appreciate how she took the time to send me daily updates every day without fail. It really alleviated any worries I had of how Posie was doing. I could tell Posie had a blast with her as well and appreciated all the ball time she got. Thanks again and till next time!”
