“Brooke and her family are great! I received many pictures throughout my dogs stay and he came home very tired, which was awesome! He is a high energy dog and they played with him and walked him! I will definitely be using them again (:”
“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.”
“Radler had a great time being loved by Sergio & Bethany and their sweet family while we were out of town. The meet and greet was a wonderful way to put our mind at ease. We also received the cutest pictures letting us know Radler was happy and well taken care of.”
“Eric was amazing to work with! I was truly impressed with his effort to show how he cared for our fur baby during our vacation and how he took the time to always keep us updated. Our girl is a spunky energy bunny who does not understand her weight or strength and Eric did amazing with her! I highly recommend his services and will absolutely be a return customer in the future.”
“Ashley was an amazing dog sitter! She kept me updated throughout Macy’s stay with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Macy clearly enjoyed staying with her and was very well taken care of. I would definitely trust her to watch Macy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“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!”
“Eddie loved his stay with Pamela! She took great care of him and stayed in touch to let me know how he was doing. He got along great with Carlos who is the sweetest pup! Thanks Pamela & Carlos!”
“I can’t say enough good things about the care my dog, Mac, received this past week. They treated him like their own — tons of love, attention, and updates that made me feel completely at ease. It’s such a relief knowing he was in a safe, happy environment while I was away. I’m really grateful for how attentive and patient they were with him. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Our two pups had a great stay. They loved all the attention from the whole family. It was our first time with them for a Rover stay are we could not be happier. Now we know we have a loving sitter for Roxy and Titus the next time we head out of town. Highly recommend Kelly.”
“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!!”
“Julia was so awesome! I have a dog with anxiety who can only be around certain small dogs and she was totally fine with Julia! The dogs came home happy, tired and missing their new dog friends that they made with staying over. Julia is chill and you can tell she truly loves animals and treated our pups like her own. I highly recommend her because she was courteous, professional and very kind.”
“Amazing is all I can say. She actually gave me information about my dogs that I didn’t know about them in that short period she had them. She also discovered a serious issue with my dogs mouth that needs vet attention that not even the veterinarian I take my dogs to noticed. Which I will now be switching vets and going to ban field after her recommendation. She is truly an expert at what she does!! Lots of pictures and great communication. Thank you so much for your amazing care and love for dogs!”
“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!!!!!!”
“Christina is very responsive and helped put my mind at ease when leaving my pup for the first time. My dog loves Christina and her family and has so much fun while he's there. He has so much fun playing and is always worn out when I pick him up! 🐶”
“Honestly couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters! They were great with communication and sending loads of updates on my pups as I was out of state getting married. They played a bunch with Bendu who is a very active and pet Sandy who only wants love. I can’t say enough positive things! They are amazing ❤️”
“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 :)”
“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!”
“Brooklyn had another great stay with you Ezra! It is so reassuring to know that she is so happy & well taken care of when I am away! I knew when I dropped her off & she didn’t even look back at me that she had a good experience & good memories of her last stay 3 months ago! Thank you for everything!! Kathy”
“Mitchell took excellent care of my dog, Nabi, and it was clear that she had a wonderful time with him. I knew she was in good hands, but I especially appreciated the photo and video updates while I was away. Seeing how happy and well cared for she was gave me a great deal of peace of mind. I would absolutely book with Mitchell again without hesitation!”

“Olivia is such a great person and so kind! She watched my cat for a little over a week, and she was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my cat and kept me updated while I was away! My cat was happy and well cared for when I got home. I would definitely recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“One more booking with Sara and she was impecable as always. Very attentive to details, reports the visit with detail, and always willing to help and to go above and beyond. 💖 Frida and I are so happy to count on her! Peace of mind during my trips!”
“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!”
“Cedell is absolutely awesome! She sends updates every day throughout the day so I know my 3 cats are absolutely well cared for while I’m gone. She’s incredibly kind and attentive with all of them and takes great care of my place, too. The house was clean, the cats were happy and safe… I couldn’t ask for anything more.”
“June did absolutely amazing caring for my little one. Athena was super comfortable with her and was all over her. She consistently cleaned her litter box and also swept/vacuumed around. Athena enjoyed her company and I had a piece of mind as I was traveling!”
“Bella's care of our cats was superb. She was patient and flexible with our changing plans and accommodated the diverse needs of cats at different ages with different personalities.”
“This was our first booking with Avery and she is wonderful. She provided photos and updates. Our dog seemed more calm and relaxed around her with each visit. We can’t wait to use her services again.”
“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.”
“Teresa took great care of my cat, Thor. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure he was well cared for and comfortable. I really appreciated the updates—they gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’d definitely recommend her and would book with her again.”
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!
“Ana was super sweet and personable. She asked plenty of questions and really seemed like she cared about the care of our cats. She responded quickly, took pictures and and left our house perfectly clean. Would definitely recommend Ana and will be using her services again in the future!”
“I can't recommend her enough! She took such great care of my dog, Peanut, while I was away for the weekend, and I had complete peace of mind the entire time. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, and it was obvious how much she genuinely cared. Peanut came home happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. It's not easy trusting someone with your dog, but she made the whole experience stress-free. I will absolutely be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter!🫶”
“Savannah was wonderful, very responsive, timely, and attentive! She went above and beyond to make sure my cat was safe and happy, and I will definitely book her again. Would recommend for your cat sitting needs!!”
“Marie was an unbelievable pet sitter. She really cared about Winnie like she was her own cat. We were very nervous to leave her with someone outside the family, but we couldn’t have had a better experience. Winnie was loved and well cared for, and I got consistent updates. Food and medication was given on time and I appreciated the updates regarding eating, medication, and bathroom usage. Communication with Marie was consistent throughout the entire booking experience. I am so happy we have found such a perfect pet sitter to be with Winnie when we need someone!”
About: Having grown up with cats for over half my life, thanks to my sister’s three cats and my brother’s longtime companions, I understand feline behavior deeply, offering patient, affectionate, and intuitive care that sets me apart from other cat sitters.
“Tabbitha took excellent care of my kitties and promptly sent me visit cards with photos each time, which I really appreciated. She is quick to respond to messages and I felt relieved to have someone so caring and conscientious looking after my kids while I was away.”
About: I love animals. I worked at as a Veterinary Tech for 8 years. Where I walked, feed, medicated, and grooms dogs and cats. I am very passionate about dogs getting potty breaks and exercise. I love walking dogs. Animals tend to gravitate towards me when I enter a house. I also love cats and the therapy that they bring. Cats are amazing in the skills that they have so I love being around them. I am great with all breeds from large to tiny. Smaller dogs need lots of extra loving such as sitting in laps and larger dogs tend usually to like fetch and outside activities I am also very comfortable about dispensing medication if needed and if instructions are left for me to follow.

“Amazing! This was my first time leaving my pet with a sitter and I was super nervous, but Alicia has been really great. She took care of my puppy very well, sent us pictures and videos after few intervals. My puppy seemed happy playing with dogs . Highly recommended!”
About: I have had a dog since I was a child and have cared for all types of dogs, from a mini dachshund to a great dane mix. I have experience with shelters dogs, dogs with anxiety, and service dogs. I currently work from home and do not have a set schedule. I do have family dinners sunday nights and am typically gone around 4 hours but otherwise, I am typically only gone an hour or so every few days. I live in an apartment but love taking the dogs out on long walks every few hours. I have a retired service dog who will keep your dog company.
“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!”

“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!”
“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.”
“Karli was great and super accommodating!!!! My dog came back happy and rested! Like he was on vacation too! I would definitely use Karli if I’m ever in the area again! Thank you ?”
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’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.
“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.”

“We needed someone to watch our 7 year old German Shepherd during the day while I went off and played old man baseball. Kelly turned out to be perfect. Very flexible and didn’t require any of these meet and greets a number of Rover sitters want. Being from out of town that never works. She sent pictures and videos four the four days we used her. Can’t really say much more she seemed to like him and he came back a tired pup. Good Job!!!”
“Susan and Jim were so easy to work with. They clearly love dogs and provide the best care! I will definitely request Susan again. It was so comforting knowing Libby was safe. Thanks again!”

“This was my first time leaving Aloy with anyone else, ever(!!!) and Micaela made it such a easy and simple process. :) I got tons of pictures throughout the day to let me know she was okay. Aloy loved her stay there and even made a friend. I'll definitely use her service again!”

About: My name is Evelyn and I have taken care of my own pets for about 10 year. I own one dog named Bella, and we have 2 cats in the house. Typically I feed pets around 8am and take them out for 10 minutes for morning potty break. I work from home so there's plenty of potty breaks and just hanging around inside. Sometimes I'll take them out for a walk to the park .5 miles away. I work from home so I'm already taking care of my dog. Just feeding her and giving her attention throughout the day. Adding another dog for a day or as needed wouldn't change much for us. :) I first learn their feeding schedule and energy levels. Based on that I will make a schedule for play time with them, have plenty of water and treats, and a comfy bed for them to lay on.

“Bella was fantastic! Very communicative, on time and happy to do what the dogs needed! She asked a lot of questions. Indie and Bo are a handful, I don't generally leave them behind, but I would call Bella again and again! She was great with them!”
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: Hello!! My name is Emily and I am a lifetime lover of dogs! I’ve had dogs throughout my whole life and found a passion for providing them with a safe and loving home 🥰. I specialize in high-energy dogs, along with dogs with medical needs. Whether your pup needs a walk, day care, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I would be thrilled to be that safe person for them while you’re away. I currently work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I am able to give your pup my undivided attention. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priority. Dogs will have separate meal times to relieve any meal-time stress. They are also welcome on the furniture for relaxing time and/or snuggle time ☺️.

For dogs staying in our home, I also have a 7 month old pup! Her name is Isla and she is the sweetest pup. She LOVES snuggle time, but also loves to play! She has already traveled a lot at an early age as a service dog, so she is a very well trained pup. I’m excited for her to create a bond with your dog and become life-long buddies! 🐾 I’m excited to meet and discuss how I can create a safe space for your dog! I’m thrilled become a reliable companion for your pup! I work from home with a very flexible schedule! I work on my own time, so I can help with your pup whenever you need ☺️ In my home I have a safe and open apartment space. My complex also has an outdoor yard space for pets along with many walking spots near by! There are gated outdoor areas as well for the pups!

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.
“Teresa was so patient with some of the hiccups of getting through property gate, and then door code not working… and, saved us by taking on helping us with a last minute request. We will definitely reach out to Teresa again in the future :)”

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: 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!
About: There has never been a time in my life where I haven’t been around animals. I’ve had dogs, cats, fish, and even mice! I’ve been pet sitting for about 10 years now for friends, family, and now clients. I’ve worked in a pet daycare/boarding facility and as a bather in grooming for about 2 years now, so you can be rest assured I have the training and compassion to take care of your furry (even feathered or scaly) friends! I am currently a part-time student, so I am available Mondays/Wednesdays after 4, Tuesdays/Thursdays after 2, and I have full availability (with some exceptions) on weekends! While I would love to care for your pets, I have my own at home and may need to break away shortly for short times during overnight sittings to take care of them. I am very adaptable to each owners needs. I am willing to play, walk, feed, or anything in between for your pets! I have no problem doing anything your dog or cat may require, even if that means taking care of the not-so-fun parts of owning pets.
“I got a very quick reply to my request, than a meet and greet that went very well (my kind of shy little dog took right to him), friendly service, and great communication! He let me know when he was arriving and departing for the dog walk visit, and sent me a photo. I will happily request Kaiser again if needed, and I would recommend him to others.”
About: I've owned dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for a wide range of sizes/breeds, from chihuahuas to English Mastiffs. I'm comfortable with cats and dogs of all ages! I'm currently a student at Arizona State University, but my class schedule allows me a lot of free time. I am available for overnight stays Thursday-Monday, and can fit daytime walks & pop-ins throughout the week/weekends. I've always viewed my pets as part of my family, so I understand how important it is to leave them in good hands. I make it a goal to stick to both pets' and owners' schedules/routines and am always willing to shower animals with as much love/attention as they desire!
“Cora is an excellent sitter. She is very kind, polite, and cares deeply for animals. I'm very impressed by her attention to detail and very cute photos. It was a pleasure having Cora as our sitter and I will definitely book again in the near future.”
“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!”
About: I have the time, patience, and heart to give your dog the attention they deserve—whether it’s for walks, cuddles, or just good company while you’re away. I do work M-F on a 8am to 5pm schedule so anytime around that works for me whether that’s after work or the weekends! Once I’m staying in the house, I try to keep everything as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible. That means feeding them at the right times, sticking to their usual walk or play schedule, and giving them attention if they’re used to a lot of company. If they’re shy or independent, I respect that too. I pay attention to their body language so I can tell if they need more space or more love.
“Mel has been a complete lifesaver for us! She's great with our rambunctious puppy, even when the park across from us was closed down due to COVID. The best in Jersey City!”
About: I grew up around dogs and cats (up to 8 total in the household at any given time) and always loved playing, cuddling, and caring for them! When I was 13 I trained my newly born Border Collie (Sam) to be a wonderful and kind family dog. Currently, I care for my 5 year old cat (Loki) and a beautiful 8 year old Lab (Sochi.) I’m excited to love your pets as I would any of mine. I work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule during the week days. I am happy to drop in for the care your pet needs or take them on a fun walk! I can tend to any special needs your animal might have or special requests. Anything that will keep them happy and healthy is what I strive for!
About: Hey there! My name is Khayla. I’m a student at Arizona State University. I love dogs and have a little over 3 years of experience petsitting. I love having fun, getting active, and giving your pup some love. I am very flexible and available anytime. I promise to care for your canine pal as one of my own. It is important to me to create a trust-filled relationship and paw-sitive experience for each dog that I care for. I understand that pet owners have busy schedules too and would love to help make your daily life easier and give you peace of mind that your dog is in caring and responsible hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I'm currently working part-time in the mornings so I'll be able to give your pup plenty of love. I'm available for boarding weekends and weekdays after 2 pm. I live in a pet-friendly apartment building with a fenced dog park and even a dog wash! I also live right next to ASU and often take the dogs out to walk around the campus for some exercise, plenty of safe walkable spaces. My apartment is fairly large, smoke-free, and has no children or other pets living in it. I do my best to help dogs feel comfortable whether at my place or yours and give owners peace of mind that their pet is in good hands while their away.

“Brooke and her family are great! I received many pictures throughout my dogs stay and he came home very tired, which was awesome! He is a high energy dog and they played with him and walked him! I will definitely be using them again (:”
“Radler had a great time being loved by Sergio & Bethany and their sweet family while we were out of town. The meet and greet was a wonderful way to put our mind at ease. We also received the cutest pictures letting us know Radler was happy and well taken care of.”
“Eric was amazing to work with! I was truly impressed with his effort to show how he cared for our fur baby during our vacation and how he took the time to always keep us updated. Our girl is a spunky energy bunny who does not understand her weight or strength and Eric did amazing with her! I highly recommend his services and will absolutely be a return customer in the future.”
“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!”
“I can’t say enough good things about the care my dog, Mac, received this past week. They treated him like their own — tons of love, attention, and updates that made me feel completely at ease. It’s such a relief knowing he was in a safe, happy environment while I was away. I’m really grateful for how attentive and patient they were with him. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”
“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!!”
“Christina is very responsive and helped put my mind at ease when leaving my pup for the first time. My dog loves Christina and her family and has so much fun while he's there. He has so much fun playing and is always worn out when I pick him up! 🐶”
“Honestly couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters! They were great with communication and sending loads of updates on my pups as I was out of state getting married. They played a bunch with Bendu who is a very active and pet Sandy who only wants love. I can’t say enough positive things! They are amazing ❤️”
“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 :)”
“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!”
“Brooklyn had another great stay with you Ezra! It is so reassuring to know that she is so happy & well taken care of when I am away! I knew when I dropped her off & she didn’t even look back at me that she had a good experience & good memories of her last stay 3 months ago! Thank you for everything!! Kathy”
“Mitchell took excellent care of my dog, Nabi, and it was clear that she had a wonderful time with him. I knew she was in good hands, but I especially appreciated the photo and video updates while I was away. Seeing how happy and well cared for she was gave me a great deal of peace of mind. I would absolutely book with Mitchell again without hesitation!”
“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.”
“Huaqing took great care of our pups! Both our dogs had a great time and Huaqing kept us updated during their stay with messages and photos. We will definitely contact her again when we need a 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.”
“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.”
“Elena took amazing care of Teddy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was kind, professional, and treated him like her own dog from the moment I dropped him off. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and when I picked him up, Teddy was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious that she truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and safe. I highly recommend Elena to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Darbi and Nate were great! We had a few schedule changes post-booking and they were so flexible and accommodating. They took Finny in and just loved on him so much! Sent updates and pictures which was great! In fact…we’re convinced that the poor dog is mad we brought him home 😂 Highly recommend!!”
“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.”
