“They did an amazing job! They’re such a sweet family. Trevor has glaucoma and has a very specific medication application that needs to be done twice a day which made me nervous about not taking him with me to my vacation. However, when I got back his eyes looked so much better than before! So, I knew they took care of him well. They updated me daily with pictures and he looked so happy during his stay. Will be booking again.”
“David took great care of Birdie! She was very happy and healthy when I picked her up. I would highly recommend David and hopefully he will be available in the future when I need someone to watch her!”
“We have used Daniel multiple times now, and I can confidently say he is truly one of a kind. Daniel is such a kind, warm, and caring person, and it clearly shows in the way he cares for the dogs entrusted to him. Our dog, Klay, absolutely loves him and he especially loves spending time with Daniel’s dog, Linus. Klay is always so happy and excited when we arrive at Daniel’s home. It has become a place of joy for him. In fact, today when I picked Klay up, I could see the sadness in his eyes as we drove away. He kept looking back at Daniel’s house, and as his mom, I know that look , he was going to miss being there. That alone tells me everything I need to know. Klay is always well taken care of, loved, cuddled, played with, and treated like family. With Daniel, I never have to worry. I know my dog is in the best hands. To any dog parents looking for someone you can truly trust. Daniel provides so much love, attention, playtime, tickles, and genuine care. Your fur babies will be safe, happy, and deeply loved. Thank you so much, Daniel. We appreciate you more than you know!💜”
“This was our first time being away from our dog, Jack. We had looked into several possible options and none seemed right. Then we discovered rover.com. Ron’s home was fairly close to us and we set up a meet and greet. LOVE at first sight! No words to say how happy we were because Jack loved it all. Ron sent daily photos and we knew he was comfortable and having a great time. Ron is a kind and very considerate care giver. He also has two dogs identical to Jack and they were so gracious. We are rebooking for February. Thank you Ron and Lilly and Cannoli…”
“Truly the best dog sitter I have ever experienced. She is clearly experienced in dog training and care. My high energy dog can be a lot to care for and he absolutely had the best time of his life!!! I don’t think I’ll be using another sitter!”
“When we picked up Vinnie & Bear from Shawna and Ethan’s place after a long weekend away, they were happy pups! Having left our dogs with them during our travel over the past few years, we don’t have any worries while away, knowing they welcome them into their home, an environment similar to our own home, with daily walks, naps and play time. We are grateful to have found such capable and caring people to call on. Thanks again, Shawna & Ethan!”
“We are so pleased with the care Erica gave my mom’s dog while she was on vacation. We received daily updates and photos of her dog. She made sure he was comfortable and secure. They went on daily walks and had other friends to play with. Rates were very affordable. She even offered to drop off my mom’s dog for her as she is elderly and doesn’t feel safe driving at night. 5-Star service all the way.”
“We’ve booked Miriam before and were so happy to have her watch our pup again—this time for three weeks. She took incredible care of her and sent photos and videos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pup clearly had a wonderful time with Miriam and her family. She loved playing with Miriam’s golden retriever, and it was especially sweet to see how much our pup adored Miriam’s daughter. It truly felt like our pup was part of their family while she was there. We’re so grateful for the care and attention they gave her and would happily book with Miriam again. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Sheila and David are wonderful! They’ve been our dog sitters for a few years now and we’re so grateful to have found them! It’s a huge comfort knowing our pups are being loved and well taken care of while we’re away. They always send us sweet messages and pictures too just to let us know how our dogs are doing- it’s an added touch that my husband and I really appreciate.”
“We were so extremely happy we found Christina. She took such good care of our furry friends. She was loving, and bonded excellently with them. I felt so much peace knowing she took care of them. Thank you once again Christina <3”
“Beth was the most incredible pet sitter, and I am so grateful we found her! She was so attentive to our dog and instantly made us feel part of her family. I left for a 10-day trip at peace, knowing our precious pup was in such caring, safe hands. I could not recommend Beth enough!”
“Sylvie is so incredible with her dogs including Sherman. Sherman is just six months old so she gave him special attention to help him socialize. I continually showed her videos to my golfing buddies because they asked what I was chuckling about. I’ve had dog sitters before but none compare to Sylvie. She is a gem🐶”
“I just loved Pamela! Upon our meet and greet she made both Zoe and I feel completely at ease…not an easy task for Zoe. She has every aspect of potential issues covered. Zoe prefers to be the “only” dog, but she met another at pamalas and did great. Her stay was brief but I received daily photos and updates, honestly wasn’t sure I’d get her back I felt so comfortable with Pamela. We don’t leave Zoe often but I’ll definitely book again when the need arises!”
“Darlene watched our little Sophie for 5 days, she sent pictures and communicated fast and friendly. Her environment is safe and dog friendly. She treated Sophie as part of her family. She took excellent care of our 12yr old pup, and I highly recommend her!”
“Loren was fantastic! She was very accommodating and patient, and wrote beautiful check-ins to help us feel comfortable while away from our pups! One of our pooches was not the best-behaved and Loren was very calm and reassuring.”
“Barbara was great, we left our precious Dorie-Joy wih her for 3 days. When we arrived, Dorie immediately ran up to her and felt safe and secure. Barbara was attentive and loving giving Dorie all the attention she needed! Barbara had no trouble feeding Dorie her special home made food. She sent pictures and updates everyday so we could see that Dorie was doing well. We will definitely use Barbara again in the future to take care of our little girl.”
“Cameron and Tyson were absolutely great with my pup. They sent pictures of her every day and made me feel so at ease. Thank you both so much for watching Honey for me while I was away 🫶”
“Korrina was the sweetest! She asked all the questions and sent me daily updates. My puppy came back looking so happy and rested. Thank you so much for taking care of my Daisy. I will definitely be rebooking 🤗”
“I had to leave last minute to Phoenix to help take care of my mom while my dad was away for work. Since the stay home order has been really hard on everyone, I didn’t think I would be able to find someone to take care of my dog. He’s very skittish, and gets stressed out and scared around men, so not many people I talked to could take him. Vicky was AMAZING. She sent me pictures 2-3 times daily and updated me on how he was doing. She even sent me a few videos! I was so scared to leave him with someone he had never met before, but he adjusted so well to Vicky’s kind and gentle nature and let him have exploring time in her home. I will forever be deeply grateful for what Vicky has done for me and Magnum, and her genuine kindness and passion she has for this work! I will be coming to Vicky for any dog boarding I need for Magnum! Honestly, I think if you’re reading this review that you should too. Vicky is incredibly kind and loving towards your pet, and always keeps you updated, so I will repeat with her again!!”

I HIGHLY recommend Lauren and will most definitely use her services again! Thanks, Lauren! 🫶🏼🫰🏼💜”

“He was great with 3 cats. He had them at his house just for the day and he stayed with them and kept them out of trouble. Also offered to carry my stuff alot of times which is nice because these cats are heavy. Was worth the money. Will book again if needed.”
“Alexandra is just the best. Our little girl is so happy after she gets all the attention and walkies while we’re gone. Alexandra is very respectful and clean and really takes the time to spend time with your pup while you’re out.”
“Julia cared for our cats while we were away during the holidays and she did an excellent job as usual! She checks in with us daily with photos and updates. Our kitties love her and we are very grateful to have her!”
“Tiffany was well worth it! She took good care of my cats and was very attentive to their needs. I was gone for 6 days including NYE and she was very considerate about making sure they were comfortable in case there were fireworks in the area. 10/10 will book again!”

“Sally was incredible and one of the best dog sitters I have ever had. She is flexible, kind, reliable, and my dog fell in love with her. I will definitely book with her again, and I hope soon!”
“Barbara was so kind and easy to work with. She sent pictures and updates of our pup throughout his stay which made me feel relaxed knowing he was safe and having a good time. He got play time and walks and was tuckered out when he got home. It was clear Barbara enjoys what she is doing, which really makes a difference. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
About: Trusted In-Home Dog & Cat Care | Lifelong Animal Lover Hi! I’m an independent pet caregiver offering day care, overnight boarding, and sitting services in my peaceful, owner-occupied home. Having shared my life with dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, caring for animals is second nature to me. Currently, I am a proud parent to a friendly 20 lb dog and a sweet 16-year-old senior cat whom I’ve nurtured since she was a kitten. Because I am at home full-time, your pets will never be left unattended or confined for long stretches. Whether it’s managing senior cat care with extra patience, hosting small-dog playdates, or maintaining your pet’s exact home routine, I treat every client’s baby like my own family. My goal is to provide a calm, clean, and secure environment so you can enjoy your time away with complete confidence. As a full-time stay-at-home homeowner, pet care isn't just something I squeeze into my day—it is the central structure of my daily routine. My day naturally revolves around physical exercise, regular outdoor time, and attentive companionship. I walk my dog twice a day for two miles on each walk, ensuring active pets get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation. Throughout the day, I frequently let the pets out into my secure backyard for potty breaks, quick sniffing sessions, or relaxing in the sun. Because I am home full-time, I am able to provide a consistent, low-stress environment with timely meals, predictable routines, and constant supervision. Whether your pet needs an active day with long walks or a quiet, comfortable spot for senior care, my schedule allows me to easily adapt to and mirror their exact routine at home. I care for pets in my home by offering a safe, structured, and loving environment where they are treated like part of the family. Because I own my home and stay home full-time, guest pets receive direct supervision and dedicated attention throughout the entire day. Here is what pet parents can expect when their pets stay with me: • Tailored Routines: I mirror each pet’s existing home schedule—including exact feeding times, medication schedules, potty breaks, and exercise routines—to keep their transition completely stress-free. • Active Exercise & Outdoor Time: Active dogs enjoy two daily 2-mile walks, along with frequent, supervised trips into my secure backyard for play and potty breaks. • Gentle Care for Seniors & Cats: Having cared for my own 16-year-old senior cat since she was a kitten, I am experienced in providing a quiet, gentle, and low-stress space for older animals or pets who prefer a calm atmosphere. • Constant Supervision & Safety: With full-time home availability, pets are never left unattended for long periods. I maintain a clean, pet-proofed home and ensure safe interactions between animals, accommodating my friendly 20 lb dog alongside guest pets seamlessly.
“Abby was great! I was in a pickle as I had to have workers come out to my house within 12 hours and my dog couldn’t be present. I couldn’t find any care for her but Abby came through. She was VERY flexible as I work unpredictable long hours and constantly sent me photos and updates. It was a very hectic day for me, but she was always calm, accommodating and soo sweet it took a huge burden off me. Will def be booking her in the future. My baby had so much fun just getting 1-1 attention all day from Abby. She really does love the animals she watches and wants to help the owners. She’s prompt, transparent and genuine. She really does have all the love in the world for animals and people. 10/10 recommend.”
“She was excellent. We dropped the dogs off super early in the morning before we had to be on the boat for scuba diving. She was all ready for our dogs. She sent us the cutest videos and pictures through out the day. Made my husband and I feel very secure and comfortable.”
“We did a nice little meet and greet, and then they took care of my dog for a day while I was out of town. Their home was clean and calm, and my dog came home happy but not stressed. I will definitely be booking with them again.”
“I recommend Stephanie to anyone who is looking for a great sitter! She was very nice to accept our last minute request for Thanksgiving. She was also very responsive, kept us updated, and tracked my dogs water and potty breaks. Thank you Stephanie for taking good care of my dog!”
“I never have to worry when we send our girl to stay with Shawna and Ethan. They take such good care of her and she is always thrilled to visit. She loves the other dogs and the wonderful place they have. Thanks so much!”
“Grateful to have Steve accommodate our Archie on very short notice. Archie was secure in his fenced in yard and looked like he enjoyed playing with the other dogs. He also sent a few pictures to keep us up in the loop that he was safe in his care. Thanks Steve!”
“Both Rio and Jen were wonderful with our dog Rosie. Everything went smoothly. Their welcoming attitude alongside a great house for dogs --with a patio and pee area) made it an easy experience for Rosie and for us.”
“Super great couple, amazing home to host your dogs! If they like swimming, they’ll love staying here with their safely fenced pool and loving care and attention.”
“Kalee was amazing took my pup Charlie in with very short notice and he had great coming back worn out from all the fun he had. She was also very good about pictures and keeping me updated with anything going on with my pup.”
“Melissa is amazing! Our pup took to her instantly and seemed happy and comfortable really quickly. Mellisa is great about sending pictures and a little report card at the end of a stay. She is a kind, organized and it’s obvious how good she is with animals! Highly, highly recommend her!!”
About: I’ve been a dog whisperer since I was a child. I have had dogs (one or two at a time) my whole life. We lost our last dog last year and don’t want the long term commitment of a new dog at this stage in our lives, but would love to take care of other people’s dogs. It is just myself and my husband in our household. I work from home part-time and if there are days that I would be showing property (realtor) I would not schedule a Rover sitting job. Also, I babysit a small child every Wednesday and Thursday. I have a fully fenced yard and no other dogs. I have no problem having dogs stay inside my home. I am happy to go to the client’s home as well.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a dog in my care. I have had many years of experience watching and taking care of mine and others dogs. I have watched my family’s and close friends dogs many times throughout the years. I have dog sitted and had multiple doggy sleepovers up to a month before. I have watched dogs as small as Chihuahuas all the way up to German Shepherds. There is no task I can’t handle! (: I can’t wait to meet your baby and becoming their new friend! I am currently unemployed but looking to make pet care my full time job. I have more than enough time available for dog care. I spend most my time with my own dogs and or family members and friends. I have a great back yard where dogs can run around and feel safe. I am pretty minimal when it comes to furniture but do have plenty of room for dogs to lay around. Dogs are free to roam as they please and can freely go outside. I wash all couch covers twice a week, sweep & vacuum everyday, and mop as needed. I am very big on keeping poop picked up and making sure things are regularly cleaned up, like toys or trash that might be out. Bathroom doors stay closed and cleaning supplies are locked up. I do my absolute best to ensure the safety and comfortability for any animal in my care.
About: Hi, My husband Angus and I just recently moved to Tucson from Chicago and adore dogs! I’ve had dogs around me for pretty much my entire life; so I am very comfortable caring for dogs of all personalities and making them feel at home. I believe dogs need more than just someone to watch them, they need exercise, adventure, attention and plenty of fun! Your dog can expect at least two proper walks every day, whether that’s exploring the neighborhood, heading out on a hike or getting some good outdoor time. I work from home, so there’s always plenty of company, playtime, cuddles and attention throughout the day. Daily photos and an update included, so you can see all the adventures they’re getting up to! My only requirement is that your dog is friendly with people and other dogs. I want your dog to go home happy and wondering when they can come back! Thanks, Bill I work from home and have plenty of flexibility, so your pup will get lots of company, attention and love throughout the day. I am outdoorsy and would love a furry adventure buddy to join me on walks and adventures! I have grown up with dogs and have cared for pups throughout our lives, so I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I will treat your dog like one of my own, with plenty of love, exercise, attention and care.
“Darlene has been amazing! My dog Rosie seems to really love her! Rosie was able to immediately feel at home and Darlene has been so caring and loving toward her. I hate leaving Rosie, but I felt really good about leaving her with Darlene, who is such a caring and dog-understanding person.”

“Josephine was great with Attila. And…he took to Josephine right away. Josephine was calm with the intro and interacted with him throughout the walk. We look forward to many more walks together.”
“Allison was sooo good and sweet to my baby! 10/10 recommend. She sent me photos and videos of him and spent time with him when she didn’t have to. Thank you and you are officially a repeat in my books! Thank you!!!”
“Larry did a great job with Ellie. He was attentive to her needs and communicated along the way. I’m excited to have Larry as my new walker and seems to be a great fit. I would recommend Larry for anyone needing a dog walker for their fur child.”
About: With years of diverse pet care experience, I know how much trust and routine matter — and of course, a good tail wag or purr, too. I’ve been caring for pets like they’re family since I was young, and I always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I’ll also make sure your home stays just the way you left it — plants watered, things tidy, and pets happy. I’m flexible with days and hours. I’m currently a college student, however I only have class a couple times a week. We can work something out! With a calm, caring approach, I keep pets comfy, routines intact, and homes secure. Some things I find important are feeding, walking, playtime, plant watering, and cleaning — I care for your pets and your home like they’re my own while you’re away!
About: I love all and any kind of animals big or small from kittens and puppy’s to large cows and horses I even good with reptiles have had more animals to care of personally medical and non medical I do have 3 dogs, bunny’s as well as turtles so they get care in the morning as well as evening and all day as needed I have a fenced yard and can have animals inside or out and can be crated if needed if can would love to snuggle with or go for walks or exercise then if needed
“Azul loves Rachel she walks at her pace and Rachel is very responsible. Azul seems happy when she comes back home and when Rachel comes to pick her up for her walk Azul is very happy.”
“Logan was great! I have three dogs who can be a handful and a large dog who gets nervous around new people, but Logan handled them so well and my dogs all came back happy and tired.”
About: I’ve dog sat for my family for extended periods of time (3 weeks to over a month at a time), watching multiple dogs of varying sizes. I also have experience watching friends dogs, including a senior dog who needs around the clock care. I’m currently unemployed, which means I have plenty of availability and can make watching your precious babies my main priority. Any day and time works for me, just as long as it doesn’t conflict with any appointments or other responsibilities that I may have. Afternoons and evenings are preferred, but I can make mornings work, too! I can take your dog/dogs out as much as needed when I’m dog sitting, as well as administering medications, crating them at certain times, and keeping them separated while eating if necessary. I will have plenty of time to dedicate to walking them, loving on them, and playing with them. Or if they prefer their space, that’s not a problem at all.
“Maggie was absolutely amazing! If I could give her 6 stars I would. From the moment we met her we could tell how caring she was and how much she loves animals. She was so good with our little chihuahua and was amazing about sending updates with photos and videos. We are so thankful we found Maggie and hope to work with her again in the future. If you are looking for someone to take good care of your fur baby, look no further! Maggie is hands down the best!❤️”
“Selina was a pleasure to have walk Rocky. She was on time, communicated well and Rocky was tuckered out and happy after his walk. We look forward to booking her again soon.”
About: Hi there, I'm Lisandra! I have a history of caring for over 6 dogs, along with experience in caring for reptiles and fish, I bring a wealth of pet experience. Previously, I dedicated my summers to walking two golden retrievers daily, ensuring they got the exercise they needed. Though my school commitments grew, my passion for pet care remains strong. I am currently in online classes so I have a lot of time during the day and in the evening for walks and drop ins I will try to be friends with your pets by the end of are time together. I can let your pets out, play with them,I can fill up food and water when need or, just sit with your pets if they have anxiety issues. My dog has separation anxiety and I can understand how knowing there anxious can rub off on you.
About: I've had all sorts of pets my entire life, but almost always at least one dog. I spent years volunteering at a pet store in high school. I also have a degree in Biology, focusing on animal behavior and wildlife science. I spent a great year after college volunteering at a dog rescue. I have a very flexible work-from-home job. I have one set meeting everyday, but am almost always available to step out and take care of anything that I need to. I have a fenced yard with a doggy door. I have two dogs with very different personalities; one is happy and playful, the other is older and just likes to relax. They've made me good at meeting different pets' needs. I always try to make them feel happy, safe, and loved!
“Amanda was great. She was able to accommodate us after a last minute request and took great care of our pup. She was communicative and went above and beyond just the basic walking if our dog, she checked water, etc... All things that a great walker does. Would highly recommend and will use again in the future.”
About: Wonderland Dog Resort and Spa is a Doggy Vacation Destination! (Find our NEW page on Facebook) We LOVE dogs in this home! All breeds, all sizes, all ages and ESPECIALLY senior dogs! I have been training, walking, grooming, feeding, and otherwise raising four-legged babies for 32 years. I've cared for many types of dogs with different abilities and special care needs including Duke, a senior golden retriever with severe allergies, a hernia, arthritis, and bone cancer- an energetic 175lb. Yellow lab named Kato, who had search and rescue training best used to deroot small trees during fetch, and to locate his favorite tug-rope for endless hours of training reinforcement, known to him only as "playtime", -a frail teddybear rescue named Chug, with debilitating anxiety and canine behavioral disorder, requiring medication- and Xeno, a husky variety, who requires constant exercise and attention, to name a few. Good pet care comes from recognizing each animal as an individual with needs and then meeting those needs. There is no such thing as a bad dog. Only humans whom don't understand animal cues and how to effectively communicate with them. My goal is to build a relationship with each pet and their families to not only offer needed boarding and walking services, but to support their personal or medical needs and training journey as well. In my home we focus on learning through fun and positive reinforcement for good behavior. Dogs can expect treats for following commands, defecating or urinating outside, and for a reward after bathing or grooming, with owner consent. Dogs requiring medication are welcome, and again will be given a treat for taking meds, with owner consent. Treats are always provided free of charge and you are welcome to supply your own if your dog has dietary restrictions. What to expect: All visiting dogs who are ambulatory are walked a minimum every 2-3 hours and offered playtime in our shaded grass yard for 30-45 minutes at a time 2-3 times a day, unless it is unsafe to do so due to weather. When visiting you, I strive to closely follow your itinerary when provided, or provide well rounded care without instruction through walks, playtime with toys, obedience training, and affection. When not out enjoying activites, visiting dogs will be in an air-conditioned home with access to dog-beds and toys, and unless requested, are not discouraged from going on furniture. There will be other dogs present, since we have 2 very friendly registered service dogs of our own. If we come to you we do not bring our dogs unless requested to do so. Dogs will interact and train with our child to encourage behavioral and training growth in a distracting atmosphere. All dogs will have a safe environment and compassionate care while their humans are away. We will love your fur-babies like they are our own loved ones, every single time, no matter the challenges they face. Dogs dietary and medical needs are my top priority. All feeding and medication schedules will be followed with the strictest adherence. Visiting dogs not on dietary restrictions have unregulated access to food and water while boarding, unless requested otherwise. In home feedings will be as scheduled by client but water will always be checked/changed/filled. Positive reinforcement is our method. We have 2 registered service dogs of our own and will happily assist your training journey. Dogs will be rewarded with treats, unless otherwise requested, any time they go potty outside, follow commands, take meds, bathe, or otherwise complete a task appropriately. All dogs have access to toys, beds, and a crate during boarding. When at my home, leashes are required outdoors, except when we visit the dog park. When visiting your home my goal is to make that visit the highlight of your dogs life! I strive to play with all pets in my care. If your dogs do not take interest in toys, as has been my experience that not all do, that time is spent with cuddles, belly rubs, and command response training, in addition to the scheduled walk or potty break. I make sure the pet feels quality time was spent with them by someone who came just to see them and values their importance in the family. When at my home, dogs are allowed to move freely throughout the house. We have laminate floors that are easy on allergies and make accidents easy to clean up. We keep our home quite cool, with central air, which is great for northern breeds, and we offer plenty of warm soft places to curl up, otherwise. Your pets will be treated like a member of our family. We love animals and want them to have the happiest day of their lives whether they visit us or we come to them. Bathing services offered for non-aggressive pups. Wonderland Dog Resort is in operation 24 hours a day, over 350 days of the year, offering both holiday and extended stay care and is my full-time career, as the owner and operator. Mommy and daddy know best! We follow all itineraries provided and are extremely diligent about following medication regimens, dietary restrictions, and other special needs. We specialize in (but are not limited to) Special Needs dogs. The safety of our pups is our number one concern! We also work with them on command response training to help ensure future safety after they leave. Pet patents recieve photo and video updates an the end of every day. Dogs can expect lots of pets, treats, fetch, tug, gentle brushings, walks, car rides, snuggles, trips to the dog park, and lots of socialization! All dogs are kept on slip-resistant leashes at all times, when not at the dog park. We go out for potties every 1.5-2 hours, walk every 4 hours, and go to the dog park nightly. Dogs socialize under close supervision and are trained on proper socialization. Wonderland is set-up for comfort. Dogs are allowed on furniture and most are able to sleep in our bed with us or are welcome to chose from the large selection of crates, beds, pillows, and blankets. Dog toys are rotated every few days to keep playtime interesting. We keep pups engaged and active and provide companionship to timid and anxious dogs, who may be less playful or experiencing their first time away from home.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both puppies and senior pets, making me adaptable to different needs. I’m skilled with crate training, potty training, and teaching basic commands. I also care for my cat, giving me experience with a variety of pet temperaments. What sets me apart is my patient, positive-reinforcement approach, ensuring your pets feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s energetic playtime, puppy training, or gentle care for seniors, I’m here to provide a stress-free, loving environment for your furry family members! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I prioritize flexibility and availability. I am currently taking a break from my career and have no work commitments at this time. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I have a pet-friendly space free from hazards, with secure areas for play and relaxation. For overnight stays or extended visits, I ensure that all necessary supplies—such as food, toys, and bedding—are provided, along with regular routines to minimize stress. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize their comfort and security by following your guidelines and routines closely. I ensure that doors and windows are secured, and I’m attentive to your pet’s needs, providing regular check-ins, exercise, and playtime. I also maintain a clean environment, including thorough litter box cleaning and sanitizing any areas your pet frequents. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities!
About: I absolutely LOVE dogs! 🐶 I genuinely enjoy long walks, dog park trips, and simply having a furry companion around. Since moving to Tucson two years ago, I haven’t been in a position to have a dog of my own, so I truly enjoy getting the chance to care for others’. I had my own white Cockapoo for 12 years and cared for her through every stage of her life, including several years managing her diabetes. Since losing my baby girl, I’ve cared for friends’ and others’ pets many times over the years. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, medications, and lots of attention and love. I’ll treat your pet just like I’d want mine to be treated. ❤️ I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, including weekdays and weekends. I’m also active and love being outdoors, so I’m happy to spend extra time walking, running, or playing with your pup. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual routine and will follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, and any other special needs. I’m comfortable with both small and large dogs and have experience caring for a diabetic dog, so I understand how important consistency and attention to detail can be. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat both your pet and your space with respect and keep you updated while you’re away.
“What would I do without these ladies? They're timely, flexible, and send great pics of my doggy when they visit him! They play inside with him when it's too hot to go out, and let him rest when he wants to. They're a relief to us both!”

“David took great care of Birdie! She was very happy and healthy when I picked her up. I would highly recommend David and hopefully he will be available in the future when I need someone to watch her!”
“Truly the best dog sitter I have ever experienced. She is clearly experienced in dog training and care. My high energy dog can be a lot to care for and he absolutely had the best time of his life!!! I don’t think I’ll be using another sitter!”
“We’ve booked Miriam before and were so happy to have her watch our pup again—this time for three weeks. She took incredible care of her and sent photos and videos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pup clearly had a wonderful time with Miriam and her family. She loved playing with Miriam’s golden retriever, and it was especially sweet to see how much our pup adored Miriam’s daughter. It truly felt like our pup was part of their family while she was there. We’re so grateful for the care and attention they gave her and would happily book with Miriam again. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Loren was fantastic! She was very accommodating and patient, and wrote beautiful check-ins to help us feel comfortable while away from our pups! One of our pooches was not the best-behaved and Loren was very calm and reassuring.”
“Korrina was the sweetest! She asked all the questions and sent me daily updates. My puppy came back looking so happy and rested. Thank you so much for taking care of my Daisy. I will definitely be rebooking 🤗”
“I had to leave last minute to Phoenix to help take care of my mom while my dad was away for work. Since the stay home order has been really hard on everyone, I didn’t think I would be able to find someone to take care of my dog. He’s very skittish, and gets stressed out and scared around men, so not many people I talked to could take him. Vicky was AMAZING. She sent me pictures 2-3 times daily and updated me on how he was doing. She even sent me a few videos! I was so scared to leave him with someone he had never met before, but he adjusted so well to Vicky’s kind and gentle nature and let him have exploring time in her home. I will forever be deeply grateful for what Vicky has done for me and Magnum, and her genuine kindness and passion she has for this work! I will be coming to Vicky for any dog boarding I need for Magnum! Honestly, I think if you’re reading this review that you should too. Vicky is incredibly kind and loving towards your pet, and always keeps you updated, so I will repeat with her again!!”
“Moo was in the best hands! Karen and Brennen are absolutely wonderful pet sitters, I couldn't have asked for a better experience leaving my dog Moo with them. From the moment we connected, their communication was fast and reassuring. Moo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It was obvious they treated her like one of their own, she got plenty of playtime, walks, and all the attention a pup could want. Knowing they work from home and have a fenced yard gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I'll definitely be booking with them again. If you're looking for sitters who truly care about your pet, look no further, Karen and Brennen are the real deal! 🐾”
“Marshall had great time with Regina and her husband Michael! He got to go to the dog park, go on walks and sleep on the bed with them and their dog Zoey! It’s not easy for me to leave my furry friend behind and Regina made me feel at ease with pictures and that he was fitting in just fine!! I would definitely use them again!”
“Had an ideal set up for taking care of my puppy while we were away for the weekend. We knew he was in great hands and he had so much fun with them!”
“We just moved to the area and Jenifer graciously agreed to watch my 10 month old puppy on very short notice. Her family did a wonderful job keeping Chase safe and happy! He enjoyed lots of walks, plenty of love and access to the yard. I would absolutely recommend Jenifer to anyone needing a sitter, and I definitely look forward to contacting her next time.”
“Karma was a happy camper!!! I got the most adorable daily pictures and updates, it was so clear that Karma was having the best vacation!! Couldn’t have asked for anyone better 🥰 thank you!!”
“She was fantastic. My dog was comfortable and treated as family. I got daily updates, sometimes multiple as to how things were going. Will definitely be scheduling with Lorena again.”
“Julie was such a fantastic sitter for our two medium sized dogs. She provided daily’s updates and pictures, and was very responsive in all comms. She gave a detailed description of how the dogs did during the stay and was overall a complete joy to work with. She also was able to get us in on an extremely last minute request. Thank you Julie!!”
“Amazing sitter + family! I have booked with Asia twice now and it’s been a smooth, trusting process everytime. They do have another dog, (which I was nervous about) but Sienna is a sweetheart - her and my dog play very well together. Even when I had a family emergency, she accepted quickly! 10s across the board for Asia!!!”
“Our dog Ollie was very comfortable at Gail’s home with her dog and other dogs boarding worth her. It was our first time to use Rover and so happy to find Gail. Gail has a nice fenced yard for the dogs to run and sleep in the sun. Gail sent a few pictures and I could see our dog was very well cared for and enjoying her sweet home. Highly recommend!!!”
“Robyn made our 2 pups feel right at home while we were gone! She provided numerous updates with pictures of the boys, and was very responsive. Robyn made sure our senior dog received his numerous medications each day and that he felt comfortable in her home. Though we hated to leave them, we know that they were in great, safe hands while we were away. We highly recommend Robyn.”
“Stephanie is a great pet-care provider! She did a meet and greet for Junebug and I at her house before booking, which was great for both me and the pup! I really appreciated her taking that time with us, especially as this was the first time I have boarded my dog with anyone. Stephanie seems to have a lot of experience with dog training and navigating tricky dog behavior, and comes across as a true animal lover! It means a lot to know my fur-baby was cared for and loved while I was away :)”
“Brittani was great! Bailey came home tired and happy. It’s nice to have peace of mind with an animal lover and trained vet care provider with your pups! Thank you!”
“Oliver LOVED his stay and I felt at ease knowing he was being cared for so well. Great communication from Jessica made everything a breeze! Ollie can’t wait to visit his new friends again 🤍”
