“Suzy was INCREDIBLE. So conscientious about keeping my house clean and my doggo loved her. I didn't worry about her once when I was gone. I would absolutely use Suzy again, anytime she's available.”

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 currently work for a high school, which gives me much more flexibility during the summer months. I will also be working another part-time job that has a flexible schedule, so I am available most days of the week for pet care. Because of my flexible availability, I’m able to spend quality time with pets throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I always try to make sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and attended to while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my own home, safety and comfort are very important to me. While I’m at work, my dogs stay in a secure fenced backyard with multiple shaded areas, a small kiddie pool with water for drinking or cooling off, and toys to keep them entertained. They are usually outside during the day when no one is home, but once I or another family member returns, they are allowed back inside. On weekends, when I’m home more often, they are free to go in and out of the house as they please. They sleep indoors on their own beds at night, although I don’t mind pets sleeping near me if that is what they are comfortable with. When caring for other people’s pets, I always make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and routines as closely as possible. If pets are normally kept indoors during the day, I would stop by for potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. If a dog does not have a fenced yard or cannot safely be off leash, I would make sure they stay leashed and supervised at all times. I’m also happy to take pets on walks or transport them elsewhere if needed for exercise or bathroom breaks. If an owner is comfortable with their dog staying at my home, I can provide a safe, secure, and caring environment for them there as well.

“We don't leave Elmo often and are nervous when we do because of his separation anxiety. Having said that Seven came in and treated him to some great hikes and companionship. He was happy to see us but comfortably so and a happy dog overall. Our plants were well cared for also and our home looked immaculate when we got home. We would happily recommend Seven to care for your home and pets and will gladly request his help again in the future.”

“Mel was great with our pups, it was our first time away from them so we were a bit nervous leaving them but we knew they were in good hands with Mel. We will definitely book her again, as she did a phenomenal job!”

“Zoie was absolutely amazing with our dogs and cats. She stepped in last minute and was incredibly flexible when our plans unexpectedly changed and we got stuck needing an extra night. Knowing our pets were in such great hands made a stressful situation so much easier. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared for our animals like they were her own. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and felt completely at ease the entire time we were away. We’re so grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and help on such short notice. Highly recommend Zoie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to watch their pets!”

“So THANKFUL for Simone! i was able to leave for a week for Thanksgiving with the family after just moving to our new home in a new area knowing my home and pups were safe and well taken care of. They were perfectly happy with her, as if I never left. I’ll definitely be booking with her in the future!”

“It was great to know my dog was well taken care of and that even though I was from out of town, I found someone so trustworthy! Morgan stayed at my house for a few nights and left the house spotless! If you are in Sedona for a short time and don’t want your dog to bake in the sun, know that Morgan will take great care of your dog!”

“Celina was fantastic with my pup! She followed all of the instructions I gave to her, she sent a few pictures every day, and seemed like she took good care of my home as well. I was grateful that she could stay at my place and watch my new pup while I had to head out of state for Christmas. She came to my house twice before she actually stayed here which was great because we had a lot of time to get to chat and no one another, and familiarize her and the dog ☺️ Since my boy is being trained as a service dog, I wanted to make sure that the training was still consistent even if I wasn’t there. She took note of all of his cues and commands, as well as my preferences. At the end of the day, the most important thing is that I can tell he had fun and felt loved 🤗 I can’t say enough good things ☺️ She will definitely be my go to person for any kind of dog sitting going forward! 😁👍🏼”

“Jennifer is absolutely amazing. She took on a rare request with a smile. Stella definitely has a new best friend and Frisbee buddy! She always kept in touch with great photos as well, it almost felt as if I had never left. Thanks Jennifer!! Stella & John”

“Queston was very responsive and sent updates and pictures of our dog throughout his stay at our house. Our dog adores him, and would recommend him for dog walking and sitting to friends!”

“Kami was amazing with Jake and Tasha. She made sure both Jake and Tasha got their daily medicine and all their daily puppy loving. Kami stayed with the puppies in our house for 5 days so the dogs would be secure and safe in their normal environment. Tasha and Jake were happy when we got home, however they definitively seemed sad when Kami left. Kami will be our number one choice from now out. She's similar in cost to taking the pups to a kennel, however this way the puppies get to stay comfortable in their own home and there was someone at home to bring the Amazon packages into the house. Lastly, I think the house was cleaner when we got home than when we left. Thank You so much Kami. Tasha (65 lbs) and Jake (100 lbs).”
