“I will be rebooking my girls to stay with Michelle again - they were so happy with her. I received daily updates from her too! My vacation was better because they were in good hands.”
“Kelly and her family love dogs! They were so happy and excited to take my dog, Buddha, into their home and give him the 1 on 1 attention he needs. My dog does not like me leaving him, but he felt comfortable with them from the very start and didn’t even rush out of their house to leave! I was very surprised and that tells me that Buddha enjoyed his stay. Kelly’s house is set up very well for dogs and their safety. They played puzzles, got Buddha in the play-pool, and cuddled him. Kelly is detailed and communicates really well. I will be taking Buddha back there next time I have to leave town!”
“We’ve never used Rover before and as a pet parent, it’s a daunting task to find someone who will love your pup as much as you do. I am so grateful we found Melodie! If I had any questions pre drop off, she would answer with no problem. Drop off and pick up was smooth. She was very reassuring and it shows she loves not only her own but all animals. I felt relieved dropping Murphy off. Murphy was in good hands with her while we were out of state. She sent pictures and updates often. I knew he was loved and that took so much stress off my plate. Thank you again and again Melodie. I will tell everyone I know about you and the love you have for what you do.”
“Sherrie took care of our babies very well. We had a last minute change of plans and she was very flexible and accommodating. I know the pups had a great time! We will be keeping her in mind for future bookings for sure!”
“Thank goodness for caring Claudia. She had her hands full with a frisky one year old and one suffering with seasonal allergies. She did a terrific job with both and her level of care and understanding is truly remarkable ❤️”
“She took great care of my dog and provided regular photos and updates, which I really appreciated. It was clear she paid attention to his personality and made sure he was comfortable. I had a great experience and will definitely book with her again.”
“Dina consistently takes good care of my girls. I love knowing that I could leave them with someone that I can trust and who takes such great care of them. Thank you Dina”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience with Deanna as our dog boarder! She kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, making us feel at ease while we were away. Communication was top-notch, and her friendly demeanor made everything even better. Our dog, Boise, had a great time playing with her dog and her kids, which we know made his stay extra special. Highly recommend Deanna for anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog boarder!”
“Kimberly was friendly, attentive, and caring. She treated my dog like her own, and my dog warmed up to her immediately. She was very flexible and sent us the photo updates during his visit which gave us such peace of mind. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again.”
“From the moment we dropped off Scorch, Chuck was friendly and welcoming. Communication throughout was excellent, with regular updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We felt confident leaving Scorch in such a clean and secure environment. Scorch came home happy and well taken care of, which really says it all. We'll definitely be using Chuck's services again!”
“First time using Lilly She was greet. Lots of daily updates and photos. Our dogs loved playing with her dog Rory. She was a great communicator and treated our dogs like her own. I would definitely use Lilly again.”
“Nick and Veronica were amazing. We left our dog in their care and not even for a minute we were worried about our dog. We kept getting updates and pics throughout the day about his food, activities etc. They showered so much love that he was missing them after coming home. We appreciate Nick and Veronica for giving him safe space and environment and a lovely home with such warmth. I recommend everyone to book them and I would keep rebooking them for our dog. Thank you so much for keeping our Rio like your own.”

“Our senior boy is very timid and quiet - we left him with Jed & family for the weekend to get a feel for his reaction to sitters as we plan for a 14 day vacation soon. Jed was wonderful about sending frequent updates a pics and they took great care of our old fella. They have a huge back yard with grass and lots of room to explore. I would definitely recommend Jed & Genivieve for your fur baby!”
“Brenda and Robin are amazing! Always giving us updates and pictures and videos. They were also willing to be very flexible when we had issues and were able to get back in time to pick our pup up. Highly recommend!!!”
“She did an amazing job watching my dog. I usually take her with me but couldn’t this past weekend and was missing her like crazy. Christina not only updated me throughout the day on how my baby dog was doing but she also sent so many pictures. I definitely recommend trusting Christina with your fur babies whenever you need a sitter!”

“Loved getting the pictures while we were gone! Thank you for bringing in boxes! Felt at ease that she was checking in on the cat! Very reliable! Great and easy communication! Much appreciated!”
“Annabella was amazing! She went above and beyond to care for our cat Loki while we were on vacation. The night we left, our fire alarms became defective and kept setting off until our maintenance team could come fix them the next day. Annabella stayed extra long during her visit to reassure Loki and comfort him. Our litter robot also had a connection issue, and she was able to reset it & set up an emergency litter box I had shipped to the home. The fire alarm situation caused me a lot of anxiety at the beginning of the trip, but the daily updates and photos from Annabella made me feel so much better and we were able to thoroughly enjoy the rest of our trip, knowing our boy was in good hands! We would definitely rebook with her on future trips. :)”
“Kimberly did a wonderful job! She sent pictures, walked the dogs, and when we came home I could tell that all the food and water had been looked after! I especially appreciated her taking the time to play with the dogs too! Definitely will hire her again!”
“Everything was purrfectly perfect, Daizy takes such good care of our cats and our home and we appreciate having her as our preferred pet sitter, thank you again Daizy we will see you next month!”
“Hannah is awesome! Super sweet, thoughtful, communicative and our babes love her! Even one of our shy kids came out to cuddle with her. It feels great to know we can leave our babes in such great hands and not have to worry!”
“Krysten was an excellent cat sitter! She was always on time and very flexible. I had to make adjustments to her schedule due to medication issues with my cat and she was very accommodating. I came home and found that my girls were very well cared for. I appreciate Krysten for watching them and I would definitely book her again!”
“Laura was great checking in on our cat! Didn't have any issues while we were gone and great communication. Everything was nice and tidy when we returned. Would use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Emily did an excellent job watching my cat! She spent a good amount of time check up on here and giving me updates as needed. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a cat sitter while they are away!”
“Shelby did a great job with the weekly visits for my pup. She is super flexible and very good with communication, always responding very quickly! My shy dog warmed up to her right away, which is rare for my girl. Definitely would love for Shelby to take care of my pup in the future :)”
“Dina was very reliable, caring and an effective communicator before, during and after 6-day check ins with my cat. I had full confidence in her during that time period (which included admin of medication) that my cat was well cared for. I will use Dina’s services for any future need.”
“Erin did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was away on a trip. She made sure they were well fed, had ample water in their water bowls & provided photographs of them when she came to my place to feed them. I will definitely call on her again & highly recommend her...”

She even accommodated me last minute, which meant the world. She exercises my dog and treats her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Thank you so much, Sonia”
“Michelle was wonderful, sent us pics and very observant of our special needs pup. Charli loved playing with her pup Harley! It was so funny, Charli walked in like she’d been there a million times and really I think Harley was more excited to see me at the end of the day than pur our own dog! 😂”

About: I've lived with dogs all of my life. Friends and family have relied on me and my wife to take care of their pets many times. We have done it all, from bathing and walks to giving medication. We have a Shar Pei, Labrador mix, Nova, and she is the sweetest, non-aggressive, playful dog you'll meet. Nova gets bi-weekly social dog training so she is comfortable with new dogs and people. We would love to care for dogs that are also comfortable with children as we have two young kids. They are both comfortable with dogs and respectful of their space and varying needs. I work full-time from home and my wife works part-time. We have plenty of time to play with your pup and keep them feeling loved. We give frequent potty breaks, but please let us know if you have a specific potty schedule. We offer a lot of play time and our backyard is the best for fetch. We are available weekdays and most weekends. We look forward to taking care of your day care and boarding needs. We have a very large, fenced yard for the dogs to run and play that includes a huge grass area. We can accommodate any special exercise requests, such as walking schedules. We have two crates in our home that are available for our guests to use, but we encourage you to bring anything that may help your dog feel the most comfortable. We'd be happy to accommodate space for these items. We love to know how your dog likes to play and any special needs they may have so that we may make it the most comfortable stay for them...a home away from home!
About: I have been taking care of pets of all kinds my entire life. I have always had dogs and cats in our home. Currently we have a Golden Retriever, Piper, and A long Haired Siamese, Kylo, in our home. Over the last 30 years we have had 5 Golden retrievers, sometimes multiple at once, and 4 cats. Dogs and Cats give me great pleasure and are ultra important in my life. If you are a dog and cat lover then you are my kind of people. I have just recently retired and this is the perfect gig for me. They get Walked, I get walked, They Play, I play, They get loved, I get loved. I have experience with puppies, kittens, Young dogs and senior dogs. Young cats, and senior cats. I will meet the needs of your fur family and take great care. Since I am retired now, I have full availability for you and your pets. Drop-In visits, feeding, potty breaks, play time, dog walking, in-house sitting, or boarding in our home. Whatever your needs are, I am available. Give me a try. You will be very pleased. As I mentioned earlier, I have just recently retired and am a High energy completely dependable person for you and your pets. I am available at all times and days of the week. I'm perfect for this... We will develop a long term relationship so I can be there for you whenever you travel or need to be away. Your pets will get to know me and feel comfortable and won't stress when you are gone. I think it's important for pets to be in a place that they are familiar with in your home or my home. It's far better than taking them anywhere else. If friends are supposed to come over and take care of your babies, they may run over just before you get home and will not give you the care you hoped for. We know, as this has happened to us. Also, kennels are the worst. Never take them them there. I'm your guy and you will be very pleased with my service and attentiveness. Give me a try
“Jackie was great. She gave my wife and I a tour of her home where our dog Lulu would be playing with Jackie's 5 other dogs, so Lulu has plenty of furiends to interact with! Jackie has a good sized yard (+/- 30' x 40') of just artificial turf for the pups to romp on and a doggie door for the dogs to go in/out as they need to. Lulu seems to enjoy her stays at Jackie's and comes home tired from playing...which is the point of daycare!”
“I felt confident within moments of meeting Neal and being in his and his wife’s home. He took the time to really ask and even take notes about Jax as well as interact with him. His wife keeps essential oils going so Jax smelled wonderful a full 24hrs after picking him up too!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner most of my life, I currently dog sit for friends. I also have experience administering medications via oral and dermal. I’m a 3rd grade teacher with 2 kids who love puppies. I love dogs and have been a dog owner most of my life. I am comfortable with all breeds. We live in a house with a yard for running around and we have several parks in our neighborhood to run around at. We live in a safe quiet neighborhood that we feel comfortable walking any time day or night.
About: What sets me apart is the combination of genuine love for animals, hands-on experience, and attention to detail. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages – from playful puppies to wise seniors – and I understand that every pet has unique needs. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs who may need medications, slower walks, or extra patience, and I have experience with basic puppy training, including crate training, leash manners, and potty routines. I’m also a great communicator – pet parents always know how their furry friend is doing, with regular updates and photos. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy pup or gently caring for an older dog, I adapt my care to fit their personality and needs. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. As a college athlete, I maintain a structured and active routine — and I make pet care a priority within that. I have plenty of downtime between classes and practices, which gives me the flexibility to schedule drop-in visits, feedings, and quality playtime with your pet. I’m highly responsible with time management and always communicate my availability clearly. If I have an upcoming game or weekend away, I let clients know in advance and only accept bookings I can fully commit to. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care whenever I’m available — and to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you're away. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my focus is always on keeping their routine consistent, their environment clean, and their comfort level high. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules and litter box cleaning to medication or specific quirks your cat (or dog!) may have. I respect your home like it’s my own: I keep things tidy, secure doors and windows, and always make sure your pet has fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of love and attention. I also take time to observe their behavior to make sure they’re feeling okay — especially important for shy or senior pets. If you'd like, you’ll get regular updates with photos and notes, so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to make your absence as stress-free as possible — for both you and your pet.

My family was big on adoption but we got our first puppy when I was 10 and I took the reigns to train her into one of the sweetest and smartest dogs we had ever owned I’m currently working full time with a flexible schedule that isn’t set, so I would be available to make visits 2-3 times a day or stay overnight to help care for whatever pet needs you may have. I would be available to walk at least once a day for visits, and allow outside at least twice. I could feed and check in at least twice a day as well. There could be more opportunity if I would be staying overnight and depending on the need of your pets, along with my availability for the week

I follow all instructions carefully and make sure your pet gets: * Fresh food and water * Exercise and/or playtime * Bathroom breaks or litter care * Attention and companionship * A clean and safe environment I’m attentive to behavior changes and will always communicate if anything seems off. ⸻ 📸 Updates & Communication You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. ⸻ 🤝 Meet & Greets I’m happy to do a Meet & Greet before booking to make sure we’re a good fit and to go over your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions. ⸻ 🦴 Services Offered Cat sitting * Dog walking * Drop-in visits * House sitting (optional to enable now or later) ⸻ ⭐ Why Choose Me Growing up on a farm taught me responsibility, awareness, and how to read animal behavior early.

“Emily is the best. She takes care of my 60lb Staffy and is so good with him. He loves his walks with her. She is very knowledgeable and attentive when it comes to dogs. She is seriously a blessing when I am out of town and need someone to walk and feed my dog.”
About: I’ve owned dogs basically my whole life and I have a lot of experience cat-sitting. Animals have always been a top priority for me! I am currently a student, but now that the semester is over, I’m looking for a job to keep me going. I have plenty of time to look after any pets! I will be sure to cater to your pets needs in a timely manner, no matter what. The animal in question is always my number one priority.

“Kelly and her family love dogs! They were so happy and excited to take my dog, Buddha, into their home and give him the 1 on 1 attention he needs. My dog does not like me leaving him, but he felt comfortable with them from the very start and didn’t even rush out of their house to leave! I was very surprised and that tells me that Buddha enjoyed his stay. Kelly’s house is set up very well for dogs and their safety. They played puzzles, got Buddha in the play-pool, and cuddled him. Kelly is detailed and communicates really well. I will be taking Buddha back there next time I have to leave town!”
“We’ve never used Rover before and as a pet parent, it’s a daunting task to find someone who will love your pup as much as you do. I am so grateful we found Melodie! If I had any questions pre drop off, she would answer with no problem. Drop off and pick up was smooth. She was very reassuring and it shows she loves not only her own but all animals. I felt relieved dropping Murphy off. Murphy was in good hands with her while we were out of state. She sent pictures and updates often. I knew he was loved and that took so much stress off my plate. Thank you again and again Melodie. I will tell everyone I know about you and the love you have for what you do.”
“Sherrie took care of our babies very well. We had a last minute change of plans and she was very flexible and accommodating. I know the pups had a great time! We will be keeping her in mind for future bookings for sure!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience with Deanna as our dog boarder! She kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, making us feel at ease while we were away. Communication was top-notch, and her friendly demeanor made everything even better. Our dog, Boise, had a great time playing with her dog and her kids, which we know made his stay extra special. Highly recommend Deanna for anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog boarder!”
“Kimberly was friendly, attentive, and caring. She treated my dog like her own, and my dog warmed up to her immediately. She was very flexible and sent us the photo updates during his visit which gave us such peace of mind. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again.”
“From the moment we dropped off Scorch, Chuck was friendly and welcoming. Communication throughout was excellent, with regular updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We felt confident leaving Scorch in such a clean and secure environment. Scorch came home happy and well taken care of, which really says it all. We'll definitely be using Chuck's services again!”
“Nick and Veronica were amazing. We left our dog in their care and not even for a minute we were worried about our dog. We kept getting updates and pics throughout the day about his food, activities etc. They showered so much love that he was missing them after coming home. We appreciate Nick and Veronica for giving him safe space and environment and a lovely home with such warmth. I recommend everyone to book them and I would keep rebooking them for our dog. Thank you so much for keeping our Rio like your own.”
“Mandy was such a good sitter for our Boy! She sent us pictures and Lucky looked at ease and happy. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for there sitters in the future. I will definitely keep her as my Boy sitter.”
“Our senior boy is very timid and quiet - we left him with Jed & family for the weekend to get a feel for his reaction to sitters as we plan for a 14 day vacation soon. Jed was wonderful about sending frequent updates a pics and they took great care of our old fella. They have a huge back yard with grass and lots of room to explore. I would definitely recommend Jed & Genivieve for your fur baby!”
“She did an amazing job watching my dog. I usually take her with me but couldn’t this past weekend and was missing her like crazy. Christina not only updated me throughout the day on how my baby dog was doing but she also sent so many pictures. I definitely recommend trusting Christina with your fur babies whenever you need a sitter!”
“Steph and her family took great care of my girl treating her like a queen. Mia very much looks forward to seeing them all again. I highly recommend Steph for anyone as she is professional, very communicative (lots of pictures) and easy to deal with. I will definitely be using her services in the future.”
About: Hi I’m Kylea! I’m a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom and lifelong animal lover. Animals truly bring me so much joy and happiness and I would love to care for your pet(s). While in my care, your pet(s) will receive tons of love, attention, playtime, and snuggles. Daily updates will be given as well as pictures so you can see your sweet pet(s). I have a lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small pets, and I will follow any special feeding schedules, I can administer medications if needed, and will accommodate unique care instructions. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I can care for any age whether it’s a puppy and still potty training or a senior dog that needs assistance and gentle care. I know how important our pets are—they’re family. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet(s) is receiving the best care possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing pet(s) and give them a fun, loving home away from home! 🐾💕 I will always be home to love and care for your pet. Your pet is top priority and your request is highly respected for the care of your pet. During the AZ summer, dogs will remain inside but will have frequent potty breaks and playtime breaks if needed. Tons of playtime outside when the weather isn’t extremely hot to prevent your sweet pet from being overheated. I have a fenced yard and tons of space for your pet to play. Artificial grass, a doggie pool for those dogs who love to play in water, tons of toys, an outdoor cooler with pump, & misters and fans (though dogs will never be left outside for a long period of time). As for cats- I will keep them separated in their own, quiet space with their own litter box, food, water, and accessories until they seem to feel comfortable. Then I will introduce the cat(s) slowly to the other cats and the to home.
“Absolutely wonderful sitter. He replied quickly to both my boyfriend and my messages, allowed us to do a home visit, and sent regular photos and updates for our dog's 5-day stay! He took him to the park, regular walks, was extremely responsive, and even taught Scout some new tricks! Their home and dog, Shelby were amazing and I can not recommend Mitch and his wife enough!”
“Supoya and Kalina were awesome! Albie last sitter had to cancel last minute and we were rushing to find someone. Albie can be a little anxious but they were great with him. I got tons of updates. He got playtime with their great puppy, and his first beach hangout. They were great with him!”
“Ashley and her family were absolutely wonderful!! Ashley was very responsive with all communication and we felt very comfortable leaving our pup. We have an elderly dog and Ashley provided excellent care for our senior dog's needs. Ashley provided check-ins and pictures throughout the week and it was so comforting to see how happy our pup was while in her care. Ashley provided a warm, clean, safe and loving home away from home for our Sugar. The entire process was a pleasure and we highly recommend Ashley!!”
“Brittany was AMAZING for our sweet Henri. He has a few special issues and she helped him with it all. She sent pictures, spoiled him rotten and loved on him while we were away for a holiday!”
“Miranda was amazing! From the moment our dog was dropped off, she kept us informed about his progress while we were away. She asked questions to clarify how to best meet our dog and our needs when they arose (maybe once). She sent pictures and videos daily and let us know about our dog. He spent nine days with Miranda and we were at ease throughout because of her attention to detail in keeping us updated and her enjoyment of being an animal lover. I would highly recommend Miranda and would book with her again and again.”
