“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!”

“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. 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!

“Mandy went above and beyond for my dog she loved on her, took her on a walk played fetch. I definitely will be using Mandy again and I highly recommend it for your fur babies.”

About: I’m a passionate, attentive pet sitter, with over 20 years of hands-on experience, I provide thoughtful, reliable care for dogs of all breeds, personalities, and needs. I go beyond basic pet sitting to provide a balanced, loving environment where each pet feels safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. I have experience in caring for senior pets, dogs with medical needs, and pets with behavioral concerns. Whether it’s administering medication, following a unique routine, or providing gentle support to anxious or aging dogs, I offer patient, knowledgeable care tailored to each pet’s specific needs. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide variety of breeds, energy levels, and temperaments—from energetic pups who need active engagement to shy or reactive dogs who need a more calm, consistent approach. I’m also experienced with multi-pet households, making sure each animal receives personalized attention and care. What sets me apart: *20+ years of hands-on pet care experience *Specialized care for senior dogs and dogs with special or unique needs *Calm, balanced, and loving environment *Deep understanding of diverse dog personalities & breeds *Timely updates with photos and videos for peace of mind *Genuine love and respect for every pet in my care My mission is to provide the same level of care I’d want for my own pets—reliable, loving, and trustworthy. Whether you’re away for the day or on an extended trip, I’m here to give you peace of mind and your pets the care they deserve. Pet care is my full-time focus, and I’ve structured my schedule entirely around it. I’m not balancing any other job, which means I have the time, flexibility, and energy to fully dedicate myself to the pets I care for. I offer boarding throughout the entire week, including weekends, and I’m committed to providing reliable, consistent, and attentive care every day. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment designed with their well-being in mind. I live in a 2,400-square-foot home where dogs are free to roam, relax on couches, or curl up on cozy dog beds—just like they would at home. I have a large, fully fenced-in yard where pets can play, explore, and get plenty of fresh air in a secure space. If a pet prefers or requires crate time, I can accommodate that as well. I also have extra rooms and quiet areas available for dogs who need space to decompress or relax away from others. I limit the number of pets I host at one time to ensure every dog gets plenty of individual attention, and I always supervise play and interactions to maintain a calm, safe atmosphere.

About: HI! My name is Samantha. I am in my twenties, and one thing I love the most in this world is DOGS! I grew up with dogs and absolutely love them all! No breed, size, or behavior is too tough for me as I have been around all ages of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. My very first dog was with me for 15 1/2 years before she passed. You could say I’ve had 19 1/2 years of experience with dogs. I was always taught how to clean up after them, feed them, bathe them, and exercise them at such a young age. It’s helped me with many dogs I encounter today! I have experience with many dog behaviors, I am always very patient and loving with dogs no matter what their background is! I always love to make sure each dog is well fed and hydrated, especially in this AZ weather. I have 5 dogs and they are my world. All animals are well-loved and cared for by me anytime, anywhere! I can’t wait to interact with your pets! I currently pet sit full time so my days are spent taking care of my pets and other people’s pets, so this takes up lots of my time. I will give them lots of love and cuddles. Play time? Absolutely! I will also take them on walks when the weather is nice out. And when it’s too warm, play time inside is guaranteed.

“Dawn is awesome with my puppy! She is very flexible with scheduling. She provided my puppy with baths, Nail trimmings, the works. Would definitely recommend booking with her”

“We have been traveling for a month and landed in phoenix after extended travel to San Diego. We hoped to go to phoenix quilt show but they don’t let dogs in. So I hopped on Rover looking for a day care situation for Bonnie and Aengus and we’re lucky to book with Vicki. She took care of our pups in her lovely home with beautiful backyard. They were in good hands as Vicki is very experienced dog lover. We had a great day and received pictures throughout the day which eased our mind and we had a good time. I would use Vicki again when we’re back in the area. And I love Rover to allow us to connect.”

About: I am an animal sheltering executive with over 25 years of experience with animal care and handling. I run two successful animal sheltering consulting firms and work from home so I am here 24/7 to take care of your pets. (I have two dogs that are both very social and friendly, as well as a rabbit who has his own secure cage and environment). I grew up with dogs in my house and have had dogs, cats and rabbits, so I consider my level of knowledge, care and handling to be very high. I work from home so I am here 24/7. Pets get to go outside quite regularly and my yard has a small natural grass area, as well as a patio. There is a pool and I do allow my dogs to go (supervised of course). I live close to three parks, each with LOTS of grass and green space. Dogs can get walked in one of those parks if they like the feel of grass under there feet or just want to explore the smells and sights (on a lead). I am also available to do home visits or check-ins on your pet throughout the day. There really is no limitation on the times I can visit. I kindly request that all dogs boarded at my home be crated at night. This practice helps prevent any damage to furniture or accidents in the house while I am asleep. If you do not have a crate, I am happy to offer rentals at a nominal fee: - $5 per night for stays of fewer than 4 nights - $4 per night for stays of 5 to 9 nights - A flat fee of $40 for stays of 10 days or longer. Additionally, I can occasionally accommodate boarding requests with less than 24 hours' notice, although a one-time fee of $20 will apply in those cases. Please note that other services booked within 24 hours may incur a fee of $5 to $10. Thank you for your understanding! Every pet and each situation is different so I adjust to what is needed for your pet. If your pet requires walks and interaction, that's what I will do. If your pet is low-key and just needs someone to come in and refresh food and water and talk to him/her, that's what I'll do. I can take of pets in my home, or your home - your preference based on schedule and cost. I'll work with you.

“We've used Vicki twice & have been very happy with how she takes care of our dogs Joubert & Kallie. Will definitely use Vickie again”
