About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, and my lifelong love for pets is what sets me apart! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to giant breeds, and with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. In addition to pet sitting for family and friends, I have volunteered with both the Humane Society and AZ Guinea Pigs, giving me experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. I believe that the bond between pets and their owners is built on genuine love, trust, and loyalty, and I strive to provide that same love and care when looking after other’s pets. I bond quickly with animals and love spending time with them, whether that means going on walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their real favorites are away! As a recent high school graduate, I have plenty of free time to devote to caring for your pets while you’re away or busy! I am available on both weekdays and weekends, with the greatest flexibility in the evenings. However, I am also available for morning visits and am happy to work with owners to accommodate their pets’ schedules and needs whenever possible :) Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities, so I always take the time to follow care instructions carefully and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in my care. I believe in maintaining a calm, positive, and loving environment while providing plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I also value clear communication and am happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
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.
About: I have been taking care of pets my entire life. I have raised several stray dogs and cats and have also had several litters of dogs that I ended up keeping! I have adopted pets on numerous occasions and welcome all their different personalities. I work full time, Monday-Friday, however my schedule allows me to be very flexible. I am generally always free on the weekends. I am flexible. I have three dogs who are all rescues at my home, so I will unfortunately only be able to visit your pets at your home.
About: I have been taking care dogs for the past 10 years of my life. I have been a dog lover for as long as I remember and truly believe they are man’s best friend! I am currently a stay at home wife with a lot of time to dedicate to your fur baby! I spend all day ensuring my pups feel nurtured and happy. I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for your fur baby to play. I also have 2 dogs of my own that can keep your baby company if they are comfortable. I will also meet the needs of whatever your fur baby is feeling and adhere to your standard of care!
“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 :)”
“Christine did very well with our kitties and takes the worry of leaving them away. All went perfect during our time away as she was very considerate in following our requests and instructions. Several pictures were sent to us each day. She seems to enjoy her time taking care of our fur babies. We will book her again.”
About: *IMPORTANT SUMMER INFO* I do not walk dogs when temps are over 95 during the day. I will walk up to 100 degrees when the sun is not out (early morning or after sunset). Walks will change to drop-ins (no change in price) if temps exceed this. We are a dog loving family and welcome small to medium size dogs for doggy daycare. Pam is available for dog walking and drop-ins on weekdays. For daycare, we have 3 resident dogs who will welcome your pooch to the pack, so yours should be good with other dogs. Our backyard is fully fenced, with a pool that your pup can cool off in. **The dogs are fully supervised any time they have access to the pool.** Pam works solely from home and Joe works in ministry just two miles away. Our schedules allow us to show your fur baby a great time and all the love and attention it will need while you are away for the day. Please let us know if you have any questions about your pup's needs. We look forward to welcoming them to our pack! ~Pam & Joe Why I love dog sitting I grew up with cats but fell in love with dogs when I got my first one, Maggie, in my twenties. Maggie was a Sheltie and was my companion through a lot of life's ups and downs. In 2010, I adopted Snickers & Itty Bitty, a malkie and care-tzu. Maggie, Snickers and Itty Bitty all lived to 15 years old, but we would have loved many more years with them. We now have Toby, a small mixed breed who is 10, Lucky, a Maltipoo, who was rehomed to us, and Ginger, a cavapoo princess who we were blessed to find through a rescue. About my yard Our backyard is fully fenced and landscaped. We have a pool and your dog is welcome to swim, or cool off on the baja step, if they like. We have a grass side yard that is a designated potty area for the pups. Pam works part-time from home and Joe works just 2 miles away. While Pam is home working, our 3 resident fur babies are never far away, sometimes even sleeping on her lap or desk. We have a gate that keeps dogs from accessing the front door. Our front door and back doors both have security screens, so if we open the door they can't run out. Our back yard is fully fenced and double fenced on the one side that opens to the front yard/street.
“Erin took amazing care of my cat, my cat looked happy and playful in all her pictures. Erin had great communication, and was very quick at responding. I’ll be sure to book with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of my dog for 16 years prior to putting him down in January 2025. While we’re not prepared to get our own, my heart is open to assist you with your fur baby! They will be in good hands with me! I am fine walking, feeding and checking in during the day. Some evenings if you need me! I prefer to stay in the Surprise, El Mirage, Peoria, Arrowhead, Glendale, Buckeye and Goodyear areas. I will adjust my schedule to meet your needs. I am available Monday - Thursday 8am - 7pm. If weekends are needed we can negotiate. I will adhere to the rules of your home and your pet. We will have an introductory meeting, I will ask for detailed written instructions and I will follow them to the letter and provide photos of your pet while in my care.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Faith perform daily visits for my best buddy, JoJo. I have used Faith several times in the past and she is without doubt my favorite cat sitter and for good reasons. The love for all animals that Faith demonstrates was obvious when I first met her. JoJo can be quite an aloof cat and Faith really goes out of her way to be sure JoJo gets the love and affection deserved. Her care allows me to enjoy my time away from home without worry. Best of all, she sends daily pics of Jojo so i can still connect with him in my mind. Quite comforting! Thanks for everything and keep on doing what you do…”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care provided by Chuck this weekend to Finn and Jade. They were happy and healthy and obviously well cared for! Everything went exactly as planned! Thank you for everything and we look forward to your next visit!”
“This was my first time using Stevie for visiting JoJo the cat while I was away. I cannot explain how pleased I was with her services. JoJo can be a rather aloof cat when he wants to. Upon introduction, Jo went right to Stevie for some petting. Stevie sent several pictures every morning which showed how happy Jo was and I could not be happier. I would feel comfortable using Stevie again at any time for her great kitty care! Hope to use her soon…. Thank you!”
“Went on a 4 day trip and Maddison took care of my two frenchies! She was always early, went above and beyond with caring for them and they absolutely loved her! Kept me updated with pics also. Highly recommend her she is amazing!”
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 yours! 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! 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(s). Your pet(s) is my top priority and your request is highly respected for the care of your sweet pet(s). During the AZ summer, dogs will remain inside for the majority of the day but will still get tons of playtime because in our home- we play ball in the house! :) Your pet(s) will have frequent potty breaks and tons of playtime outside when the weather isn’t extremely hot to prevent your sweet pet(s) from being overheated. I have a double 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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waddell
Kaleena is an amazing sitter and we are so blessed to have found her. My dog can be quite a challenge and requires a lot of extra time and patience to warm up to strangers. Kaleena completely understood his boundaries, never rushed him, and used so much love and patience to earn his trust. By the end, they became friends. It means the world to find someone who treats my Toby with love and patience. Thank you for winning his heart!
Beth did a fabulous job! She visited each day, followed all our instructions, and even sent great pictures! Her daily report cards were thorough, and we appreciated the extra special touch of actually getting down on the floor playing with our doggies! Thank you Beth!
Dina was an excellent pet sitter for our dog Molly during our week-long trip. We didn’t know Molly could be quite naughty and destructive when nervous or home alone, but Dina handled it beautifully — she provided the extra love and attention Molly needed and helped manage those behaviors while following all of our care instructions. Dina was always on time for her drop-ins and communicated clearly, which gave us complete peace of mind. She went above and beyond by bringing in our trash bins from the street after pickup. We highly recommend Dina to any pet owner looking for a reliable, caring sitter. She truly helped us relax and enjoy our time away knowing Molly was in good hands. Thank you, Dina!
Laura is awesome! She is super communicative, kind and so attentive to our fur babies and their needs. Loved the photos she sent, too. Laura was flexible and very understanding throughout our booking. When we were unreachable during our trip, she coordinated with our neighbors as needed. Highly recommend and so grateful for her services!
We are so thankful that my co-worker referred me to Kelsey! She was amazing with the dogs and took great photos! If we could give her more stars we would. We had a small situation at our house while we were out of state, and she went the full extra mile to help as she could. Again, so thankful we hired her! This is the Rover you want.
Chance responded to my same day request fast! He was super helpful, on time and the pics of my Diego showed he was truly happy Chance was there with him. I was able to have a nice date night out and not worry about my little worry wart at home. Highly recommend Chance!
Tonya was amazing with our 3 doggies, very communicative and helpful. Watered our plants and brought in packages. The first time I’ve had a dog sitter and so glad I went with her so I didn’t have to worry about my fur babies during my wedding weekend! Thank you for everything!
Theresa was a great dog sitter! She came by to let our very high energy dogs out while we were away for the day and they had a great time! She took the time to make sure they were fed and had plenty of water and play time. We definitely recommend her and will use her services again!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Waddell choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
