Personalized care for your dog or cat - Verde Village
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Verde Village
“After my dog sitter moved out of the area, I wasn't sure I'd find someone to watch Lilly id approve of. Deborah and Thomas are great with Lilly. I highly recommend them. They made her feel right at home.”
“From the beginning, Daniela was communicative and eager to care for our girl, Loosey. When certain things didn’t make sense about Rover to me, she was able to clarify without leaving me feeling anything other than better informed. Daniela and her family were so sweet and gentle with Loosey. They were busy between both children’s birthdays, and Christmas, but still we’re willing to hang out with Loosey while I was away. She even got to go with them on a couple family adventures. Daniela sent me pictures and updates the entire time I was away. I also accidentally grabbed Loosey’s leash by habit when I dropped her off and they just didn’t make a big deal about it and I was able to send them money for a new one. I was initially very nervous about leaving Loosey with strangers (this was our first time using rover), but as soon as we had our meet and greet I knew that Loosey was in good hands and I was able to relax a little and enjoy my time off from work. Highly recommend this really kind family who just went out of their way to care for my girl. Thanks, Daniela. I will definitely bring Loosey back when she needs to be sat again.”
“He was an amazing sitter! He kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog was clearly well cared for and happy. Highly recommend!”
“Paul and Courtney were awesome! Our little pup stayed 11 days with them (our first time leaving her), so we were a bit nervous about leaving her. They have 2 beautiful golden retrievers that got along so well with her, a big backyard for all her energy, and they even stayed up with her puppy training! We got daily updates and videos also while on our trip. I highly recommend them if you need a dog sitter!”
“Rey was very diligent taking care of my dogs. Both dogs are pitties, very active pups with a strict routine. Rey did a great job at taking care of them and keeping up with their walks and their routine. You can tell that Rey loves animals and treats them very well. Upon my return, I found my dogs happy and that’s the best way to know that they had a great time.”
“Angel and Casper are so amazing! They sent Photos or videos everyday and it really gave me peace of mind! Zoey loved being there and enjoyed to dogs so much. I highly recommend them for boarding or daycare!”
“I give Shane and Elsie a five-star rating. My 13-year-old dog, Scooter, doesn’t trust anyone else, outside of my immediate family! Elsie and Shane are a great pet-care team. Scooter got the red carpet treatment, and he was very calm and relaxed when I returned to pick him up four days later. Shane made sure to give him his medication on time and followed my directions exactly. He also kept in contact with me once or twice a day with a photo or a note about Scooter. Shane and Elsie went over and above to show Scooter a wonderful time, and I think they enjoyed his company as well.”
“Once again, Kitty you were awesome to take Canela. Thank you for sending all the pictures. I feel so comfortable leaving Canela with Kitty. I know when I leave my dog with Kitty, I know she is good hands, I never have to worry about her. She always sends pictures of her having fun and playing with other dogs. I would highly recommend Kitty . Anita”
“Deanna was very available when requesting updates and very attentive to our needs, great first experience with Rover! Highly recommend her for any dog sitting needs.”
“Working with Aspen is so easy and we are so comfortable leaving our dog with her. She communicates quickly, knows what our dogs likes and he has a blast. Thank-you, Aspen”
“Thanks Amanda for watching my two dogs for ten days and all the pictures you sent us! I was worried about them coming home with a few bad behaviors for just being in a new inviroment for so long but they are as well behaved as ever! I appreciate you!!”
“Trevor and Zac are absolutely amazing! Our dog ran back inside when we arrived because he did not want to leave! Barkley is such a sweet gal that makes the stay for our dog so fun! Absolutely recommend and will use again!”

“We are picky about who we leave our miniature Labradoodle with but had to find a place she would be happy at for 6 days while we were in our time share condo, taking the scenic way home. I found Rover.command then, after scrutinizing providers, found Mindy. It was perfect for Milly. Lots of ball fetching, comfortable furniture, outdoor playtime, dog walks, pool time, personal time and a few other companionable dogs for her to play with. They sent pictures every day to us. We relaxed and enjoyed our time in Scottsdale very much. If it wasn’t for this site and Mindy, we would have had to board her at a big kennel with little personal attention and certainly no play pool, which she loves! We will use her and her husband again if we return to Scottsdale and need Milly to go to “Summer Doggy Vacation Camp!””
“Rebecca was great! It was my babies 1st time boarding so I was nervous but it went great. Rebecca has such calm energy, it for sure probably helped my Luna girl! I now have a dedicated and safe home away from home for my fur babies.”

“This was our first time having a cat sitter and Mel was amazing! I highly recommend her! I loved that we received daily pictures and updates. She was very fast at responding, kind and caring towards our cat while we were away. And kept us informed if she needed anything which made us feel at ease that our kitty was in good hands. We will definitely have her over again!”
“So happy Gail was available to care for our kitties while we were gone for 3 weeks. As always she is very conscientious and does an excellent job keeping our kitties happy.”
“Samantha is a very good communicator and we got along great. She understood all of the directions we left for her and asked questions when needed. She is always on time and I had full confidence that our cats were well taken care of while we were gone.”
About: Hello! my name is Zoie. I have 1 year of work experience and have done volunteer work for local shelters and have fostered over 150 kittens since high school. I can help with pet transportation / sitting and pet walking. I am a pet owner mysel, and have owned and been around pets my whole life. I started working with animals when I was in high school with my mother fostering kittens then eventually started volunteering with different local shelters
“Thank you so much Krystin! I appreciated all the love and care you gave my indoor/outdoor cat Toby, especially for the extra cuddles at night when he gets lonely. I am grateful for the updates you gave me on how he was doing throughout the house sitting, the photos and videos you sent every day or evening, and you being there to make sure he was always back inside for the night. All of it reassured me that he was in good hands while I was away! 🩵”
About: I love my experiences with my canine friends, and felines too. I have been the primary care person for numerous furry friends though my life although not currently. I have enjoyed numerous pet sitting jobs, including for elderly and crippled dogs, here in the Verde Valley and have a pet-friendly vehicle for potential nature hikes. Since I am retired, it's easy to program my personal interests (writing, web programming, music editing, reading) amongst the needs of my clients, human and non. I bring them outside if appropriate, feed them as wanted, medicines as required, walking, talking, petting, playing, and give them personal space as they may prefer.
“If I could give Kalynn 100 stars I would. She is an animal lover and took great care of our 4 cats. I will absolutely hire her again in the future, and so should everyone else!”
“Thank you Thalia for all your help while sitting for my cat Toby! It was nice to be able to get out of town for a week and know that he had a compassionate companion to stay overnight with him while I was away. I appreciate all your kindness, gentleness and care!”
About: I got my first kitten when I was nine years old, and since then I’ve had many cats and often multiple kittens simultaneously. Our household has had both dogs and cats living peacefully together for many years. Having not had a cat for the last 10 years because of work and traveling, I miss their purring company.
“Celina is a godsend! We took a weeklong road trip, and she did an incredible job looking after our two kittos. She sent photos and updates to document each visit and was an exceptional communicator; available when needed while also allowing us a ton of space to enjoy our travels. I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to come home to relaxed & happy furbabies and a tidy home!! I enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing that everything was in such capable hands. We will definitely hire her again.”
About: I have most of my experience caring for dogs, but I also have experience watching cats as well. Along with caring for my own dog, I currently help look after three other family dogs that I live with. My responsibilities include feeding, daily walks and hikes, vet visits, administering post-surgery care, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Most of my pet sitting experience has been through friends and family. I’ve stayed overnight at clients’ homes to care for two adult dogs at a time, especially when owners wanted someone present with the dogs as much as possible. I did this over a couple of summers for stays lasting around 1–2 weeks at a time. I also regularly help care for a family member’s mini poodle while they travel, either by bringing her to my home or stopping by for potty breaks, feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m very passionate about caring for animals and always try to treat every pet the same way I would treat my own. My goal is to make pets feel loved, well cared for, comfortable, and active while their owners are away.

I do not keep my dog in a crate, but if you do, you’re more than welcome to bring it with!
“My cats absolutely loved Juanita and she took such amazing care of them during her drop in visits. I absolutely did not expect her to do any cleaning or vacuuming but she took special care to vacuum after my long haired cat shed like crazy. I definitely recommend and will definitely call Juanita again. Thank you!”

About: Hi, my name is Daniela but you can also call me Dani. I grew up with a lot of animals both big and small. At a young age I began training, bathing and walking neighborhood dogs. In my early 20s I worked for my friend’s pet sitting/dog walking business in Santa Barbara, California. I am currently a stay at home mom with a love for animals who is looking to make some extra money and love on more fur babies. Since I am a stay at home mom I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to be able to check in on your pet(s) throughout the day and take them out regularly. If you plan on boarding your dog at my house we have a fenced in yard with ample space to run and play! Since I have children I am not available for overnight stays but can offer multiple drop in visits through the day to make sure you pets are well fed, exercised and have regular potty breaks.
“Alma and her husband took great care of our two pups. They sent pics and kept us informed of how they were doing. Even sent a message the next day about a burr they found in Mabel’s fur. Our kids returned home tired and happy. We were delighted.”

“Jeana took wonderful care of Meeko. She was kind, attentive, and made me feel at ease knowing Meeko was in good hands. I really appreciated the adorable photos and updates she shared, which showed how happy and comfortable Meeko was. I’m so grateful for her care and would definitely trust her again in the future!”
“So thankful!!! I was passing by Camp Verde and needed someone to watch my pup while there, Simon and Juanita were GREAT!! The communication from the first message was clear and personal, making sure they knew all that was needed to take care of my Snoop. They made sure to keep me updated and send pictures, he had a blast and was KO when I picked him up. If I ever find myself out that way would absolutely use them again 🙃 Thank you all So Much!!! 🙏🏽”

“Vlad was flexible, very quick to respond to communications and took great care of our floofie while we went and rode some local MTB trails. I definitely recommend him for your pet sitting needs when in Sedona.”
“Thank you to Trevor & Zachary! They were great with Beignet & Brie. Our girls had a wonderful time filled with walks and cuddles. When we picked them up they were happy and exhausted from a day of fun. We appreciated the detailed report card and pics. We will definitely request Trevor & Zachary again while visiting this area.”
“Wonderful experience! We will bring our Bentley back. He was taken care of so great. He played with the dogs and was a happy dog. Highly recommend choosing Kristopher, Barbara, and Randy if you are looking for kind dog sitters!”
“Aspen & Wendy are truly kind people & ensure the pack is having fun while safety is maintained. I am disappointed that they & my girls didn’t make a good fit & recommend them for dogs that don’t suffer from anxiety.”
“Amanda did great with our big baby girl Piper! Piper had fun and came home tuckered out from a day raoming, exploring, and meeting all kinds of new animals like chickens, ducks, and turkeys. I will for sure be bringing Piper back for more fun anytime we need a sitter! Amanda was kind, polite, professional, extremely flexible, and super friendly! Highly recommend her for anyone who loves their fur babies!”
About: Both my wife and I have had dogs since we were born. We both grew up in families that bred labs. We’ve cared for brand new pups to one of our late dogs as she battled heart failure. We are no strangers to caring for dogs in all walks of life. Training them from 8 weeks old and handling medications in their senior years. We currently own two Goldens. Leo who will be 8 this year and Liberty who will be 4. Leo has spent every year in the woods with us as well as Liberty who also plays show dog in the conformation ring on weekends. They are both sweethearts and get crawled on daily by our 2 year old son. My wife also groomed dogs in college and we have set her up with a dog washing room in our barn fully set up with a portable water heater for those cold months. We would care for any dog like our own. They would have plenty of fun time outside playing and a comfortable place to sleep while they’re here. I work from home and my wife is a stay at home mom with our son. She handles the house and our 7 acres of land. Caring for your pet would be an easy addition to our daily schedule as we care for our own. We have a large fenced in back yard and would supervise them when out. When we are gone and when we go to bed at night we will crate dogs to ensure their safety as well as their comfort of having their own space. We also keep dogs separate when feeding. Keeping dogs safe, comfortable and happy is most important to us just like we would expect of someone watching our two sweet Goldens.
“Stephanie was great!! Very responsive, flexible, and overall very easy to coordinate care with and great with our dog. She watched him while we were on vacation and needed to be dog free for a day. He seemed very happy with her. Would recommend!”
“Ashley was great and we highly recommend her. She took our dogs on walks, took pictures, and documented their potty breaks. She provided some doggy treats and we had extra to take with us on our drive home.”
“We were so happy with Kayla! She was so lovely and kept us updated throughout the day, sending us pictures and letting us know how things were going. Blue absolutely loved her, she took him on a nice walks and made sure he was well cared for. It’s always hard to find someone you fully trust with your pup and we feel really lucky we found Kayla. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Hello Everyone, I have owned dogs in the past, my wife has noticed that dogs will almost instantly bond with me. I have had success with pet sitting for friends. I also have fostered many dogs including a whole litter of puppies from the Arizona Small Dog Rescue in Phoenix as well as adopted a maltipoo named chopsticks from them. I am someone who works full time working from home. I am flexible throughout the day. During the meet and greet we can discuss schedules. I understand your needs for each animal is different. I want to understand your pets boundaries when I come into their space. I understand how important walks and exercise is for the mental and physical health of any pet. Let me know if walks are needed, playing fetch in the backyard or if going to a dog park is appropriate. Also if you just need some one to snuggle with your pet I can do that there is plenty of me. I am more than willing to send you pictures throughout the day or on visits to reassure you of the happiness of your pet. If you book me for house sitting I can bring in Amazon packages and mail as well as water plants.
“Janean's home was exactly what I was looking for for my dogs. She has lots of room for the dogs to run around and she limits how many dogs she has at one time. My girls came home happy and tired :)”

“Mel did a great job! We were on an RV trip and booked two drop-in visits for our two dogs —Sooner and Sammie. The 10 AM was to meet the dogs and the 3 PM to walk them. Mel was very professional. The dogs liked her immediately and we received photos and messages letting us know all went well. We will book her services any time we’re in the Clarkdale area!”
“Samantha was amazing with our girl! She truly put our minds at ease while we were away by treating our fur baby like her own. She communicated consistently, sent sweet photo updates, and made sure our pup felt loved and cared for the whole time. We’re so grateful for her and highly recommend Samantha to anyone needing a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter!”

About: Hello! my name is Zoie. I have 1 year of work experience and have done volunteer work for local shelters and have fostered since high school.

I also have experience with dogs that don’t like other dogs and giving medication. I will make sure that your four legged friend is having the best time of their lives.

About: Hi! I have enjoyed the company of pets since I was a young girl. As an adult, I have had both adopted dogs and cats in my home for more than two decades. I have trained puppies and cared for older dogs/cats in pain towards the end of life. My beloved Sandy girl passed 4 years ago at 13 1/2 years old, but I have kept her profile on this app. Due to traveling/work I have not had an animal for the past four years. I have really missed the unconditionally loving company! I work part-time, so I am relatively flexible to walk and care for your sweet dog or cat. I’m looking for a friendly, calm, well trained pup, as well as sweet, kindly natured cats. So I’m offering to walk your dog, and care for your cat, since I am really missing a pet in my life. I try to get my pet-fix in by visiting the pet stores on adoption days, and say hi to dogs I meet on my walks in the neighborhood, but it doesn’t quite make up for it. Having used this Rover app for dog sitting of my own dog some years ago, I found this would be a good way to connect with you and your lovely pet. My specialty is walking your dog with 100% attention, without texting or being on my phone simultaneously. I’ve always found this to be so important, to actually spend quality time together during the walks. I love cats as well, and I would be very happy to come and care for your kitty/kitties. Furthermore, I might be able to pet sit at your home when you are gone.
About: My first pet sitting job was with my sister’s dog 15 years ago. I always give them all the attention they need and rubs. I love to send photos to the owners almost every day if I can to show them that they’re doing good. Also, I’ve heard from a lot of owners that their pets seem to miss them just a little bit when they get home because I was giving them so much love I think that’s a good quality. I work for myself and make my own schedule so I am able to move it around and be available when I am. I’m great with communication. My baby Sadie at home gets all my love right when I get home..always checking her gums to see if she is good if I feel she might be off. Always checking in on her in general. I’m very observant..my pets I watch I know for sure do not miss out on the love and rubs I give.
About: I love dogs I grew up with a dog and as an adult I have had 2 dogs. Right now I have no dogs, so I can help out! I’m retired military and have also worked for a veterinarian clinic and as a dental assistant, so I am equipped to handle special needs. I have an open schedule, just let me know how long I am allowed to leave the dog alone ex: grocery store visit or what not. I will let them out as often as needed and snuggle them and play if they want to play. We can go on walks or just stay home depending on dog.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, helping friends, family, and neighbors with everything from daily walks to overnight care. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, from playful puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to follow any specific routines or care instructions to keep your pet happy and stress free. I work full-time in Sedona, but I’m available in the evenings and all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I’m reliable, consistent, communicative, and I make sure pets receive the care they require. As a cat owner, I understand how important routine and comfort are. Pets are family to me, and I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.
About: I have owned almost every animal you could possibly think of and am very knowledgeable in caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish! I am a stay at home mom so I am free almost all day every day! I am super flexible a willing to make what works best for you possible! I do have a six month old that does not take a bottle and would have to come with me but he is around animals all day and knows he’s not aloud to touch them! I have lots of cats and dogs who bolt to the door every time you open it so I very good at getting in and out super quick!
About: I have spent the last 3 years traveling while doing house/pet sits throughout Mexico, Arizona, California, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. My clients have included some high profile gigs in Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu, but I have also spent months at a time living off-grid in the Mexican jungle and caring for animals on remote farms. My experience dates back to 1991 when I worked my high school summer vacations on a sheep farm to escape city life. I love ALL animals, and have had a special connection with them, my whole life. Your pets (and babies) will be comfortable with me right away. I have been a mom to birds, rodents, fish, cats, and dogs. I do have some experience with reptiles, as well. I come with many years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats from the puppy/kitten stage through their golden years, so you can rest assured that any special accommodations your fur-baby may need will be met with kindness and compassion. I am particularly fond of, and experienced with Bully Breeds, Golden Retrievers, and Doodles of all varieties. I only provide pet care in the owners home as I’ve found it is a far less stressful experience for the pets and the sitter. It’s all I do, so your pets will get tons of attention and affection. I also do occasional dog walking gigs while I’m staying at your home. Your babies are my babies while you’re away, and your home will be treated with the utmost respect. Confidentiality and privacy are considered paramount, always.

“He was an amazing sitter! He kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog was clearly well cared for and happy. Highly recommend!”
“Paul and Courtney were awesome! Our little pup stayed 11 days with them (our first time leaving her), so we were a bit nervous about leaving her. They have 2 beautiful golden retrievers that got along so well with her, a big backyard for all her energy, and they even stayed up with her puppy training! We got daily updates and videos also while on our trip. I highly recommend them if you need a dog sitter!”
“I give Shane and Elsie a five-star rating. My 13-year-old dog, Scooter, doesn’t trust anyone else, outside of my immediate family! Elsie and Shane are a great pet-care team. Scooter got the red carpet treatment, and he was very calm and relaxed when I returned to pick him up four days later. Shane made sure to give him his medication on time and followed my directions exactly. He also kept in contact with me once or twice a day with a photo or a note about Scooter. Shane and Elsie went over and above to show Scooter a wonderful time, and I think they enjoyed his company as well.”
“Once again, Kitty you were awesome to take Canela. Thank you for sending all the pictures. I feel so comfortable leaving Canela with Kitty. I know when I leave my dog with Kitty, I know she is good hands, I never have to worry about her. She always sends pictures of her having fun and playing with other dogs. I would highly recommend Kitty . Anita”
“Deanna was very available when requesting updates and very attentive to our needs, great first experience with Rover! Highly recommend her for any dog sitting needs.”
“Working with Aspen is so easy and we are so comfortable leaving our dog with her. She communicates quickly, knows what our dogs likes and he has a blast. Thank-you, Aspen”
“Thanks Amanda for watching my two dogs for ten days and all the pictures you sent us! I was worried about them coming home with a few bad behaviors for just being in a new inviroment for so long but they are as well behaved as ever! I appreciate you!!”
“Trevor and Zac are absolutely amazing! Our dog ran back inside when we arrived because he did not want to leave! Barkley is such a sweet gal that makes the stay for our dog so fun! Absolutely recommend and will use again!”
“We are picky about who we leave our miniature Labradoodle with but had to find a place she would be happy at for 6 days while we were in our time share condo, taking the scenic way home. I found Rover.command then, after scrutinizing providers, found Mindy. It was perfect for Milly. Lots of ball fetching, comfortable furniture, outdoor playtime, dog walks, pool time, personal time and a few other companionable dogs for her to play with. They sent pictures every day to us. We relaxed and enjoyed our time in Scottsdale very much. If it wasn’t for this site and Mindy, we would have had to board her at a big kennel with little personal attention and certainly no play pool, which she loves! We will use her and her husband again if we return to Scottsdale and need Milly to go to “Summer Doggy Vacation Camp!””
“Rebecca was great! It was my babies 1st time boarding so I was nervous but it went great. Rebecca has such calm energy, it for sure probably helped my Luna girl! I now have a dedicated and safe home away from home for my fur babies.”
“Heather provided awesome care for my fur babies. One was not eating so she suggested something and my dog liked it! I also loved all the pictures that she sent, since we were missing them so much. Would use her services again!”
“Got lots of pics and videos of my little baby while I was away and that was awesome. This was my first time using Rover and would surely book with Stephanie & Rollson again!”
About: I've cared for dogs my entire life and have more than 40 years of hands-on experience with different ages, sizes and personalities. I share my home with two dogs of my own, so caring for dogs is part of my everyday life. I have experience with basic training and enrichment, as well as caring for senior dogs who made meed a gentler pace and extra patience. I keep my guest list small so each dog gets individual attention, playtime, affection and a comfortable home environment. I also require a meet -and -greet before boarding so I can make sure every dog is a good fit. I'm currently working through September 23, so my availability is limited until then. Beginning October 1, I'll be fully available for boarding and doggy day care. I am available before October 1 to schedule meet-and greets for future stays. My schedule then will be centered around the dogs in may care, with plenty of time to play, enrichment and outdoor time. I provide care exclusively in my home, where dogs have access to a large, secure fenced yard and a dog door for easy indoor/outdoor access. I have two friendly dogs of my own and carefully introduce guest dogs to make sure everyone is comfortable together. I keep the number of guest dogs small so each dog gets plenty of individual attention, supervised play time and a comfortable home environement. I can also crate a dog if that is part of their normal routine. I require a meet-and-greet before any stay to make sure it is a good fit.
“Ashley took such great care of my two pups! It was my first time using Rover and I felt assured my babies were in good hands. She sent pictures and provided updates throughout their time together. I would definitely book again!”
