“We are so grateful I found Michele to petsit our golden doodle Chella on Rover. She was so nice and caring with our dog. Michelle had no problem with my special requests to feed Chella her Raw frozen beef formula which is a bit more work than kibble. And to be understanding about her anxiety and over excitability. She quickly came up with ideas of how to accommodate our dog’s particular needs. So helpful! Our dog loved Michele’s big backyard, especially drinking from the creek water feature! We had to cancel and reschedule our trip start date due to bad weather, then extend few days and she was able to accommodate our schedule changes. I would highly recommend Michele due to her flexibility, kindness and willingness to take our large dog despite normally only petsitting small dogs. Her and her family gave Chella much love this past week. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Kelly was amazing. She kept me informed daily on how my boy was doing. Was very responsive when I had questions. I have already rebooked with her for an upcoming trip. Highly recommend!!!”
“Claudia took such incredible care of our mini bernedoodle, Kirby, who suffers from separation anxiety. She was patient with him and he had a great time spending time at Camp Bentley. Thank you so much!”
“We always know “our boys” will be very well cared for and have always been very pleased with the care that Sherrie provides to them. They love roaming in the grass and always are very exhausted when we bring them home. Thanks Sherrie for opening your home to Oakley & Kodak and providing top notch care!”
“After having very bad luck with 4 previous dog sitters, we decided to finally give Rover a try and I'm so glad we did. Lilly came through at the very last minute and even agreed to give Frankie a ride home at the end of his boarding. She sent us pics and videos of her dog Rory and Frankie playing and having a great time. Her communication and follow through was on point. It's so refreshing to know your pup is in great hands while you're traveling, giving you one less thing to worry about. We no longer have to stress before our next vacation about our dog being cared for. Highly recommend Lilly!”
“Nick, Veronica, and the boys are the best… we had to leave our girl for a whole month… not easy to do. They were wonderful step in pet parents for Maggie. Thanks again!!!!”
“Very happy with the care Milo got while we were out of town! Deanna sent pictures and kept me posted on how he was doing which I greatly appreciated. leaving Milo with someone else is always hard but knowing he was in good hands helped. I’d definitely use Deanna again !”
“Dina is the best dog sitter! She takes such great care of my two little ones. It’s nice to have someone that I trust that takes such good care of them when I need to travel. Highly recommend.!!!”
“Kimberly was amazing! She welcomed us into her home at drop off and was so patient with this anxious pet mama. Marty had a great time and we got lots of pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“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!”
“I truly felt comfortable leaving Walker with this beautiful family. I know he had lots of fun. I absolutely adored the photo updates. I look forward to my next vacation while having Mandy n the family take care of him. I would absolutely recommend Mandy to others.”
“Kim was great. I was only gone overnight but I received about 10 pictures and videos of her and Dylan. She let me know he ate his food which sometimes he doesn't when I'm away. He was very well taken care of. Thank you Kim! I will re-book when I go out of town again.”
“They are nothing short of amazing! I had boarding plans for my dog fall through last minute and they took her the morning of, with only a couple hours notice. They eased Lily (my dog) into meeting their dogs to make sure she was comfortable and let her get used to the backyard before taking her inside. Picture and video updates everyday and honestly sent them before I was able to ask for them, so they’re on top of it! Definitely at the top of my list when it comes to needing someone to take care of my pup.”
“Jed & Genevieve’s home was our puppy’s home away from home! They said he did really well, and they sent comments and pictures while we were away. Look forward to using their camp Bow Wow once again!”
“Sean is AMAZING. This is the second time we have left our dogs with him and they love it there. He is really good about sending pictures and videos. We will use him again for all our pet sitting needs!”

“Michele was great! Took good care of my baby, and was always quick to reply to messages. :) I'd recommend her to others and will likely book with her again in the future!”
“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. :)”
“Daizy was fantastic with my two cats. She played with them, kept their litter box clean, gave plenty of treats, and sent great photos. Will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“This is our first time having Emily cat sit for us. I appreciate that she is deligent and does everything I ask of her with care. She was on time everytime and and stayed later if needed. This is a great first time and I look forward to future visits!”
“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 :)”
“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...”
About: I have had the privilege of having cats for most of my life. I currently have two cats who are sisters. I am familiar with cat behaviors and would love to care for your cat. If you need check ins for feeding and watering, changing litter, play time and loves, please consider me! I would absolutely love to love on your cat while you're away. I appreciate detailed notes and instructions to provide the very best quality of care for your pets.
About: I’m a future veterinarian with hands-on animal care experience and a genuine passion for caring for pets of all personalities and sizes. I have experience working in fast-paced environments that require responsibility, attention to detail, patience, and strong communication skills. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic care instructions, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand how important trust is when it comes to pet care, and I always aim to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate service. Whether your pet loves being active, needs extra patience, or just wants cuddles and companionship, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care and attention. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I have a FLEXIBLE schedule that allows me to dedicate time for walks, feeding routines, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. As a future veterinarian, working with animals is already a big part of my lifestyle and long-term goals, so providing reliable and compassionate care comes naturally to me. I enjoy creating a calm, safe, and positive environment for pets while keeping owners updated and reassured. When caring for pets in a client’s home or during dog walks, I focus on keeping each dog safe, comfortable, and engaged. Before each walk, I make sure I understand the dog’s routine, behavior, leash preferences, and any special instructions from the owner. During walks, I prioritize safety by staying alert to surroundings, using secure leash handling, and avoiding unsafe interactions with other animals when needed. I let dogs explore at a pace that matches their energy level while making sure they get proper exercise, stimulation, and bathroom breaks. I also pay close attention to each dog’s behavior so I can adjust the walk if they seem tired, anxious, or overly excited. After the walk, I ensure they are safely returned home, have fresh water if needed, and that I provide updates to the owner so they know how the walk went.

“Kelly was fantastic with our playful boy Moose! She and her family are so sweet, plus their older pups, for keeping up with our guy. She sent many updates throughout the day and our pup came home happy and tired. Would 100% recommend and plan to have him visit again in the future.”
“I really enjoy spending the afternoon at Miss Claudia’s! She has a really nice backyard for running around. She treated me so nice & gave me kisses. I like her dog Bentley too, we talked about what our favorite treats are. Thank you for taking good care of me! Can’t wait to come back. I will recommend her to all my good buddies!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Sonia is absolutely amazing — truly the best sitter I’ve ever had. She gave constant, thoughtful updates and showed so much love, care, and attention to my pup. 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! 😂”
“This was our first time using rover; we had Meg go just for the day to see how she would do while we hosted a party at our house. Deanna sent messages, pictures, and videos of Meg throughout her day. I was comforted and reassured she was in good hands. I loved the closeness of our houses, the ease with river booking, and the fast communication. Deanna was amazing and Meg was so happy and tired when she came home!”

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.

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'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!

They were well taken care of & we’ll definitely be using her again.”

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.
“Dina has been walking my elderly mom's dog daily. She's friendly and beyond reliable, helping in personal way. We're happy to have her! Our little dog was immediately comfortable with Dina and we hope for a long lasting friendship.”
“Haley was very professional and replied quickly to a same day request for dog walking! You can tell she really cares for and loves animals! Tiki right away was comfortable with her. I really appreciate that she was able to come out and help walk our pup!”

About: I currently have a lab mix fur baby named Boris. I've also raised a German shepherd and a Keeshond. I give Boris lots of love, walks, and trips to the dog park, and I would love to care for your fur baby the same way. I'm open to caring for your loved one with or without mine on walks or at the dog park. I also love cats and would be happy to spend time playing, cuddling, or just making sure they are well fed. I love all animals and feel I connect with them. I'm responsible, reliable, and honest. I'm looking to change my career - yes, this late in life - to do something I've always wanted to do: share my love with as many fur babies as possible. You can count on me to provide friendly, fun, and responsible care for your fur baby! I am retired. My schedule is pretty open and flexible. I walk my dog. I also do social activities in my community 2 times a week. I can walk, sit and visit, feed and water your fur babies. I'm open to extra duties inside your home. I love to pet, cuddle and play.

I’m reliable, calm in new situations, and genuinely enjoy caring for animals—not just watching them. ⸻ 💬 Closing Line I’d love to meet you and your pet—feel free to reach out with any questions! ⸻ Optional Add-On (if true for you) * “Available for early morning, evening, and weekend care” * “Comfortable administering basic medications if instructions are provided” I offer full availability—any day, any time—and am committed to being 100% reliable. I prioritize punctuality, consistency, and clear communication, ensuring pets are cared for exactly as instructed and owners have peace of mind. I take care of pets in their own homes so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I stick to their normal routine—feeding, cleaning, playtime, and attention—and make sure they feel safe and relaxed. I treat both the pets and the home with respect and always keep owners updated.
About: 5 years experience working with animals and dog sitting. I love animals and have a special way with them. My goal is to become a veterinarian one day and save life’s :) I am currently an at home student and work online so I am always at home and will always be attentive to your pets needs :) also lots of love of course <3 I have a fenced yard with lots of room for your dog to run around and play. I do have 3 cats but that shouldn’t be a problem because they are ok with dogs and just tend to ignore them if anything. your puppy will never sleep outside always on a comfy bed next to me or in a kennel if needed (only if you provide a kennel or crate) I am currently an online student, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups/kitties, when I housesit I stay most of the day so your babies won’t be lonely :) I have three cats, each have their own water fountain and an automatic feeder, they are very very spoiled and have lots and lots of toys :)

“We always know “our boys” will be very well cared for and have always been very pleased with the care that Sherrie provides to them. They love roaming in the grass and always are very exhausted when we bring them home. Thanks Sherrie for opening your home to Oakley & Kodak and providing top notch care!”

“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.

I strongly recommend Christina’s services and will be booking her in the future!! 🙂⭐️”

About: Hi I’m Kylea! I’m a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom and lifelong animal lover. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I would love the opportunity to care for yours. Your pet will receive lots of love, attention, playtime, and snuggles while in my care. I have a lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small pets, and I’m comfortable following special feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, and accommodating unique care instructions. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. 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 is receiving the best care possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing pet 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.
“Sierra and Jason were fantastic. They were able to accommodate us for a last minute trip and my pups had a great time. They are very communicative and I got daily updates and lots of photos! Pups were smiling in all the photos and it was so nice knowing they were getting so much love while we were gone :)”
“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!”
“Celynda and her partner did a fabulous job taking care of Daisy. Daisy was walked, taken to dog park. She even went above and beyond by giving Daisy a bath. My absence was extended and Celynda bought extra dog food and vitamins for Daisy! No dog sitter I know has ever done that Kudos to you. Daisy played with the cat toys and Celynda bought a larger toy just like the cat toy, stuffed Lam Chop which Daisy loved. She got to bring it home I highly recommend Cylenda for dog boarding and sitting. Your dog will be better off than when you dropped it off.”
“Mitch was wonderful!! My fur babies were so well taken care of, they almost didn’t want to come home ?. I would absolutely use Mitch again and highly recommend him. We had a last minute change to our itinerary and Mitch was able to accommodate us, (thank you so much, greatly appreciated that). It’s great to feel confident that your fur babies will be well taken care of, and that’s how I felt with Mitch. Thank you, thank you, thank you ?. Until next time ??”
“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!!”
