“Our dogs love going to Ron’s house. They have fun in his yard and with his dogs and love having a dog door. Ron is a great communicator and always sends lots of photos.”

“Ashley was amazing; she was by far the best dog sitter we've ever had. She showed our dog a great time with several walks and fun outings, she worked on some training with her, and she sent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the time of our vacation. She also had some very good feedback about our pup, which I really appreciated. 10/10 would recommend, and I definitely hope and plan to have Ashley care for our girl again in the future.”

“Carina and her family were absolutely wonderful to Noah. We needed a last minute sitter for longterm care and she was quick in responding to us. We were hesitant at first as we never booked a sitter prior to this and Noah was adopted from PACC within the year so we couldn't provide 100% information about his character. Carina was very patient with him and took him on walks he had many cuddles with her family. She updated us frequently while we were out of the country and even offered to purchase his treats that we forgot to leave with her. We will 100% rebook with her the next time we are in need! Thank you Carina 😊”

“The "happy dogs" enviroment Miriam has created is perfect for our very social Husky Keesha and her playmates. Each stay is like an extra long playdate for her. Now it will take a full day of sleeping it off for her to recuperate. Excellent!!”

“Sylvie is the BEST! I live about 30 miles away but I feel very comfortable leaving my lil fur baby Lucy w her. Lucy still suffers from separation anxiety but she absolutely loves it at Sylvie's Den where she plays all day with cookie & the other house guest ???. I love that Sylvie cares so much about the pups. She gave me suggestions about food & things I should do to help my lil rescue adjust & be healthy. So glad I found Sylvie, she's the BEST!!! ”

“Vicky was very sweet and I felt comfortable leaving my pet there knowing she would be well taken care of. I was given updates and received pictures throughout the time Jane was away. Would recommend and would book with Vicky again. Thanks!”
“As always, Samson loved his time with Barbara and all of his doggy friends. He cried the whole way home after his stay because he missed her already! ❤️”

“Cashmere was well taken care of by Ana. My little dog got to play with Ana’s little dog. The socialization was great. Cashmere was taken on walks in the neighborhood. Ana did a great job communicating to me on a regular basis. She sent pictures and video often. We had a god experience.”

“Another happy stay for Sequoia with Daniel! She was so happy to go back to Daniel’s for more play time with her friends and snuggles. His home, care and communication are exceptional every single time. Sequoia can’t wait to make herself at home at her favorite home away from home with Daniel.”

“Amazing dog family. I had to go out of town for a few days and didn't have any problem at all with fear or apprehension because I knew my animal is cared for. Extra playtime and walking because my dog is super energetic and needs the exercise. Thanks for the great job.”

“I want to express my gratitude for the excellent care you provided to our beloved Ana. Your warmth and professionalism were truly appreciated. The photos you shared during her stay were delightful and reassuring, showing us that she was thriving under your attentive care. Thank you for ensuring Ana received her medicine promptly, demonstrating your commitment to her well-being. We are sincerely grateful for your outstanding service, and we look forward to entrusting Ana to your care again in the future.”

“Rich and Jeanette took wonderful care of our 3yo pug for almost two weeks, while we were on vacation. They sent us pictures and updates every two days or so and I am sure they would send more or less often, if requested. Schedules were super easy to set up with them including a meet and greet prior to boarding. Will use for boarding again in the future and highly recommend to others!”

“Christina did a great job! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and took great care of ours. No issues whatsoever. Sent us frequent updates and photos, which were much appreciated. 10/10! Definitely recommend!”

“Maggie was wonderful with our cats and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond during the meet-and-greet, genuinely taking the time to get to know each of our cats and their unique needs.

“Logan was able to accommodate us close in to our trip and was proactive in asking about any medical issues to be aware of with our senior cat. He took great care of her and gave us updates on packages that he brought in and even asked if there was anything we needed him to do the day we were arriving home. We were very happy with Logan and would not hesitate to book again.”

“LauraAnne was great. Would always answer text and update me on my cats. Very friendly and was able to meet up with me before she began her visits. Would recommend and will be using again if the need arises.”

“Wonderful sitter, thank you Ashley! Coco warmed up to her and the other dogs quickly. She sent me videos regularly so I was confident that she'a doing fine. Will definitely recommend Ashley as a dog sitter.”

“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 left our Chihuahua Jack Russell mix with Barbara for a whole long day while we came to town to attended a graduation. We were apprehensive about leaving our baby anywhere mostly because he can be kinda crazy lol but she instantly made us feel very comfortable from the moment we walked in the door. You can tell that she genuinely loves dogs and is very comfortable with them. Her home is very inviting and secure and just perfect for four-legged friends. There were two other "guests" there and I kind of felt like I was leaving him at a little doggy party. He seemed happy from the get-go so that made us happy to leave him there. She was also very flexible with our time to drop off and pick up. And very easy to communicate with sending us pictures throughout the day. Her rate was great too! I would highly recommend Barbara and we'll definitely use her again again if the need arises! Thanks for loving Henry for us yesterday Barbara!”

“Our 3 year old greyhound, Rowdy, enjoyed his day at Steve's. For Rowdy it was like getting to spend an entire day at the dog park. He had outdoor sniffing around time, indoor lounging around time (Rowdy's favorite past time) and he even got to ride in Steve's car to the nearby park! Steve is very attentive to each dog's individual needs and quirks, and he has the space for them all to be comfortable (separated, if needed) and he is there, where they can see him, for dogs with separation anxiety, like Rowdy, it's the most important. We recommend you trust your dog to Steve's care.”

“Allison was kind, friendly, and a great sitter for Katniss! She showed care and attention with Katniss and was very flexible with us as our plans changed with our reservation! She showed knowledge of introducing dogs to each other, as her dogs became friends with Katniss right away! We are so appreciative of Allison and Katniss is always looking forward to her next play date with her dogs!”

“Rachel is a fabulous loving pup sitter! She got here on time! She played with the dogs took them out for poo and pee fed them sent a picture to me! I highly recommend Rachel for pup sitting!!!!!”

“Abbygail is awesome. Our pup wasn’t feeling his best after his final vaccines, and she kept him company all day and even had dietary suggestions to get him on the mend! Everything said by other reviewers is true, and then some!”

“Karen and Brennen were amazing and took great care of my dog. We had a meet and greet beforehand that make me feel that my dog was going to be really safe and happy with them. They send me several pictures during the days my dog stayed with them. Moreover, my always seemed happy when I picked him up. Definitely will leave Max in their care again”

“Alex is great! Invited me in his home to see where reward was gonna play. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with him. Alex sent pictures throughout the day and always kept me informed.”

“Sally is great! She was very friendly and welcoming to our dog, Finnegan. Sally was also super communicative and flexible with our schedule. Would definitely recommend her to others!”


“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.”

“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.”

“Stephanie is a diamond of a find. She is a dog whisperer and really took care of Largo while I was in Tucson. She groomed my boy and made sure he got all the attention he demanded. If I were in Tucson she would be my go to pup care person.”


“Water and John are very warm and friendly. They love dogs and are wonderful, communicative caregivers. They were extremely accommodating when I had a last minute request for daycare for my dog. Thank you to you both for being the kind and caring human beings that you are.”

“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.”

“Paloma was very sweet and made me feel at ease,even though I have a 75 lb bloodhound.Her comfort with dogs and herself made me feel confident that I could trust her with my big dog.”

About: Growing up, I raised and trained my family’s dog from a puppy. Since moving away from home, I have also had experience dog-sitting dogs of a wide range of ages and sizes. I am a student, so I am home studying all day, and would love to have a four legged study buddy to keep me company! No pets at home. I live in a very pet friendly area with a fenced in dog run right by my apartment, and lots of good places for walks around the neighborhood as well

“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!❤️”

About: I've had animals all my life, they've been a constant joy. I've worked with animals in a professional setting, as an assistant to a Professional Dog Trainer. While working with a Dog Trainer, I've interacted with many different types of animals (even their temperaments at times) such as different dog breeds and sizes, as well as cats. For dogs being trained, as well as those being boarded, I was responsible for feedings, any medications that needed to be administered, crating and uncrating dogs for bathroom breaks, cleaning of all outside kennels and inside crates, I also bathed and groomed dogs before they returned home. Other than dogs and cats, I'm also experienced in working with reptiles, rabbits, fish, etc. I am very careful and respectful to all animals and their environments and schedules. I've also done overnight house and dog sitting for friends and family. Outside of my resume, I truly love animals and enjoy meeting new furry friends. With that said, I look forward to taking care of your fur babies! I also work part-time, as well as from home, & will be able to give your pups all the exercise they need. Sometimes I will be in & out of your home, as I have other clients, but will always make sure your animals are taken care of regardless of my schedule. I will follow all procedures you give me. I am also very careful when entering & exiting your home to prevent any escapes. When I let your dogs out into the yard, they are always watched & never left alone.
“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.”

“LauraAnne was our regular dog walker and dog sitter for nearly a year, and took great care of our dog when we're our of town. She did an amazing job, and our dog absolutely loves her. She's responsible, responsive and could always rely on her.”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, high energy dogs, and senior pets. My own dogs were seniors and I've also cared for senior cats well into their twenties so I'm comfortable with medications, special routines, and extra monitoring I specialize in multi-pet households and am experienced managing different personalities, feeding routines and behaviors, including anxious pets. I provide reliable in-home care while keeping pets comfortable in their normal routine so they feel safe while you're away. Completed online Pet First Aid training through the American Red Cross and prepared to handle common pet emergencies. I provide pet care full-time and and structure my schedule around my clients' needs. I'm available for overnights drop-ins and last minute bookings when needed. For house sitting, I spend most of my time in your home to keep your pets on their normal routine and provide consistent care, especially for seniors or anxious pets.
“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 have been around animals for my entire life, mostly dogs! I have pet sit for neighbors and family friends since I was young, and have been working professionally with animals for about one year, feeding, training, coaching, and shanking animals in shelter, daycare, and boarding environments all ranging from pets ages newborn to elderly. I have the most experience with dogs, but I do have experience with cats and a love for both. I am a full time student, however, my classes are all online so I am available to work from any location at any time. I have open availability currently and can take care pets at any time! Although I live in a smaller apartment, my complex is gated and completely friendly to pets, and my unit is directly outside of a private dog park for residents only! Your pets will have plenty of toys and room to run around and have fun here. Should I be taking care of your pets at your own residence, it is another priority of mine to ensure your space is respected and kept clean, and I have experience as a professional kennel technician and cleaner to ensure any messes that occur from your pets will be handled efficiently.
“My dog loves Brittany and I love her too. She communicates well. She let me know my dog had an upset stomach - I had no idea he was feeling bad! Thanks to her we were able to adjust his food till he felt better. Every time we leave town we use Brittany to do daily walks. (relatives keep dog but don’t walk him- he needs his exercise!)”

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!

“Josie was wonderful - very responsive, friendly, great with our pup and completely flexible with my changing schedule, which I totally appreciated. We will definitely use her for walks again.”

About: I have walked, fed, bathed, and taken care of dogs of all different breeds and ages. I have enjoyed all my experiences from short walks to sitting for several weeks! I just graduated from the University of Arizona and will not be starting my new job until August 2026, so I have plenty of free time during the summer to play and have adventures with all kinds of pets! I play and let my and my client's pets roam free when in a closed off area, such as the backyard. When taking walks, I make sure to keep the pets on a leash with extra poop bags!
“Ricky was great with walking my golden retriever! He was polite and professional and sent lots of pictures of Romeo. I felt good throughout my work day knowing that Romeo was being taken care of!”

She seemed to immediately understand what he likes, needs, and what makes him happy, so Cooper bonded with her quickly. She was punctual, responsible, caring, and sent wonderful, fun photos and updates. All in all, a great experience!”
