“Sylvia was just perfect! She is obviously an old hand at caring for dogs and I felt very comfortable leaving my Beagle/Jack Russel mix with her for eight nights while I was out of the country on business. We did a meet and greet a few days before my trip and I instantly saw that it was going to work. Her location in central Phoenix near the Phoenix Country Club area is probably on the way to or from the airport for many. Very convenient... The one thing that impressed me the most when I dropped my little guy off at the start was how Sylvia reviewed my printed instruction sheet on feeding and meds very carefully. She asked questions and confirmed details. She also sent a nicely worded report after the first night that helped me relax about leaving him and then another report on how he was doing near the end of the trip. It was just enough to keep me informed and happy that he was doing ok. When I picked up Harvey at the end of his eight night stay, he was glad to see me, but not too glad. He seemed happy and content. And... that is the most you can ask of a sitter like Sylvia... to take care of your little loved one like he was her own... Sylvia certainly did with flying colors! Thanks again Sylvia!”

“Gabby was a great sitter for my dog. I was very comfortable the whole time I was on vacation. She provided updates with photos and it was great to know that her dog is friendly and got along well with mine. Thank you!”

“Emily, Kai and her son are amazing. This was Rusty's second stay, the first being a one night stay. This second stay was for 7 nights. We picked him up yesterday, and he's been moping around all day. Probably tired from all the fun, but possibly missing what he thought was his new home! Emily's dog Kai is a great "ambassador" for new friends. Rusty and Kai bonded immediately and had a great time playing. Emily kept us updated with pictures and texts, it was nice knowing we had nothing to worry about as he was in great care. We (including Rusty) look forward to having Emily take care of Rusty the next time we leave town.”

“First and foremost Angelica was great. This was my first time having her watch my baby. She’s sent me daily updates with cute pictures attached. She took my baby to new places and tried new things with her. Thank you again ?”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m so thankful for Kourtney! She was able to step in last minute when my original sitter fell through, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We had just moved to the area and didn’t know anyone, but she willingly took on the responsibility and made the whole process stress free. She was very patient and understanding with my dog Molly, who has been a bit anxious with all the recent changes. Communication was excellent, she sent frequent updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely wonderful experience! Gina treated Molly like her own and kept me updated with so many cute pictures and messages. It was such a relief knowing Molly was in great hands. I’ll 100% be booking again!”

“Thanks to Linda M. I was able to have my medical procedure as I had scheduled. It was last minute notice for Linda but she was gracious to do doggie care for me. I recouped much quicker than I had thought. I was able to get Nico by Thurs early evening. So miss my little boy ! Second night will be a tip for Linda. No refund needed. She was a GREAT help in my time of need. God Bless You, Linda. Thank you Rover.”

“Mrs. Ines and her husband took such wonderful care of my baby. She kept me updated on how things were going and responded immediately when I would reach out. Doodles had such a good time, she literally didn't want to leave. We'll definitely be contacting Mrs. Ines again for her services.”

Since I am available to travel to your home and stay there with your pets while I enjoy them and the time spent reading and visiting local attractions. Should you wish to use my home for care, I am home a lot while going out for a couple of hours at a time for my social meetings and such. I appreciate that much of the time I spend will be at your home with your pets. If I go out they will be wherever you leave them when you go to work or play.

“Karen was wonderful with our girls. One of them usually hides when new people are in the home, but with Karen she quickly became comfortable! We are very thankful for Karen and knew our girls were in excellent hands while we were gone.”


About: I’ve cared for cats of every kind since I was ten. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed, play and clean up after their cats. I’d be honored to care for your feline friend(s).
“Charlene did an amazing job watching my cat while I was out of town for several days. My cat doesn’t always take quickly to new people, but it was clear that she became relaxed around Charlene quickly. I received frequent updates and was confident that my cat was getting both care and engagement from her staying there. And Charlene was clear in her communication so that we were always on the same page. There were a lot of delays the day I was supposed to be heading home and it wasn’t clear that I would make it home the day I was supposed to. Charlene offered to do whatever she could to check in on my cat and make sure she was looked after still if I didn’t end up making it home. It’s clear her care and concern for animals, even shy kitties. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”

“Emily watched my dog Prince while my family and I went to the lake at Twain Harte. She was amazing! The original time I had proposed didn't work, but she was very accommodating for a later drop off time. Thanks to her my family and I were able to go to the lake (where there are no dog allowed), and I had peace of mind the whole time. Thank you, Emily!”
About: Between growing up with cats and dogs, a parrot, horses, rabbits, and a tortoise, working with dogs in 4-H, showing my dog at the fair in the highest level of obedience, loving and caring for puppies, senior, blind, and deaf dogs, pet sitting for my neighbors and community members growing up, and working with clients through Rover doing drop in visits for walks, play time, feeds, and overnight house sits as well, I've become a well rounded animal caretaker and lover. Back at home after 9 months of traveling Asia, I am currently a free bird when it comes to scheduling, so please reach out with any requests for assistance meeting your pet care needs. With much TLC, tender loving care is how I care for pets. Additionally, I love for animals to be outside and so do I. My old dog and I used to go on so many hikes and swim in all of the creeks, having so much fun playing in the mountains. Despite enjoying dogs free of leashes, when I am walking dogs, I like to walk them on-leash as risk management to prevent unpredictable bad situations from arising.
“Linda was ready to take care of our pups when we arrived. She has tons of experience with many dogs and we felt at peace leaving our two there for the day while we went to see the Sequoias. If we come back to the area and need a sitter again we will certainly contact Linda!”

About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life, and pets have always been cherished members of my family. Over the years, we've lovingly cared for dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, and guinea pigs, giving me experience with a variety of personalities and care needs. As a proud grandma with lots of energy, I understand that every pet deserves love, patience, and individual attention. Whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, keeping a regular feeding schedule, or simply providing companionship, I'll treat your pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in caring hands. Since I'm retired, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Daily walks are already part of my routine, so having a furry friend join me makes them even more enjoyable! I live in a quiet, safe, gated community that's perfect for relaxing walks and exploring new sights and smells. Whether your dog enjoys an energetic stroll, a leisurely walk, or simply spending time with someone who loves animals, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and included in my day. Your dog's safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I'll treat them like family, giving them lots of love, attention, and affection while they're in my care. When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment they arrive. My home has an open floor plan with plenty of space for pets to relax, play, and be part of the family. I also have a securely fenced yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, fresh air, and play. I follow each pet's regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to help them feel at ease and give them the individual attention they deserve. My goal is to provide a calm, clean, loving environment where your pet feels right at home while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're being cared for like one of my own.

About: As an animal lover and caretaker over the past 40 years, I have experience raising dogs through all ages of life from puppies to seniors & deaf dogs, as well as cats, and farm animals. This love for animals began even before I was a high school 4-H and FFA student working with large farm animals, growing up with cats and dogs. As a pet-sitter for others, I have cared for many kinds of animals in addition to cats and dogs. I was the Dog Leader for the Murphys 4-H for 7 years and assisted the kids in training their dogs to show at the fair. While I have experience training animals, I also love to offer them tender loving care, spending quality time with them, and being their friend. It is important to me that dogs and humans both enjoy play and joy in their days, so I am happy to offer this for your pets when you cannot be there. I currently have a very open schedule, so I am most available to meet your pet care needs. Reach out to schedule a meet and greet at your convenience. When caring for pets as a sitter, I respect both your space and your pets. While I am walking others' dogs, I feel best with on-leash walks, and I will clean up after them. I also always provide animals with fresh clean water during my visits and routine caretaking. I like to keep the home and pets clean, safe, and comfortable while you are away.
About: I have been owned by cats and dogs in the past. I recently transferred with my job from the East Coast to Utah, and now reside in Northern California and currently frequent the Humane Society to visit with the cats and dogs waiting for homes. Pet Sitting - I am able to walk them/feed in the mornings and after 5 p.m. Monday-Wednesday and Thursday - Sundays more frequently. I do prefer overnight pet sitting. I am reliable, responsible and have a "knack" with most pets. I do need to know about any behavioral issues (likes to chew on things that aren't their toys for example). Do they do well with new people? I prefer not to sit pit bull terriers, but mixed breeds I don't have a problem with.

About: My own dog, Zeus, who was a German Shepard, had developed hip dysplasia in his elder years. He passed in 2024 but in his last years of life I learned to properly administer his two medications, and was able to trick him into taking them when he was stubborn, which was all of the time. I cleaned up after him while my parents were away and sat with him when he was anxious, which again, was all of the time. I took him on walks when he was younger and was able to handle his strength. I adore dogs and understand the stress of leaving a special needs dog by themselves. If you need a calm energy for your senior dog, or playfulness for your puppy, I'm your guy. At the moment I am still looking for a full or part time job, so my days and nights are completely open for those who need a sitter. I will care for your dog by first making sure they have their nessecities, food, water, medication, and a bathroom break. If we go on a walk I will make sure their harness and leash are secure, and am willing to walk however long your dog wishes to walk. When we come back to your home I will make sure he is uninjured, no issues with the feet or body if we go to a dog park. I am willing to do anything and everything to ensure the safety and health of a dog.
