“I cannot say enough amazing things about Eric! The communication was incredible—updates everyday, along with adorable photos and videos. Oliver even had his very first modeling photoshoot with Eric. It just showed how much care and attention he was giving to Oliver! He truly went avice and beyond. Eric gave so much attention and patience to Oliver as a puppy. I am truly grateful! This was an incredible pet-sitting experience! Oliver was in the absolute best hands. I highly recommend Eric!!! THANK YOU for taking such great care of my boy!!!”
“Coco had another wonderful vacation at Adriana and Kayla’s. When we pulled up to her house, he was very excited. He pulled me on the leash all the way up to her front door. That is not what he normally does and it made me laugh. It is such a blessing to know, that when we drop him off with Adriana that he is well taken care of his needs are met and exceeded. She sends great pictures and I get to see that he is having a great time and he’s also getting his rest and at his age he needs his rest. I highly recommend Adriana her home is beautiful, warm and caring.”
“Merry Christmas Christine! I appreciate you and your family and your love for Luna so much, more than I can express! I hope that your Christmas Day and every day is filled with Love!”
“Sergio, Bethany and the girls welcomed Tully into their home for a week while I was away and he came back a happy dog. Their home is very dog friendly with a fenced yard. I will definitely reach out in the future to see if they are available when traveling.”
About: I’ve been a caretaker at heart my entire life — for both people and animals. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do, it’s something I genuinely love. I’m patient, dependable, adventurous, and believe every pet deserves care that matches their personality, comfort level, and energy. One thing that really sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy getting dogs outside and engaged with the world around them. I absolutely love nature, hiking, exploring trails, going on walks, and spending time outdoors, so if your dog enjoys adventures, sniffing new places, or burning off energy outside, we’ll get along great. Whether it’s a relaxing walk, a trip to the dog park, a scenic hike, or just soaking up the sunshine, I love creating fun, enriching experiences for active dogs. At the same time, I also have a huge soft spot for senior pets and animals who need a little extra patience, gentleness, or medical attention. I hold a CNA license and am comfortable administering medications and helping care for pets with special needs or health routines. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, especially when extra care is involved, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your pet is an adventurous hiking buddy, a playful puppy, a senior needing extra TLC, or a couch-loving cuddle expert, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for all different types of animals, including horses, turtles, snakes, and chickens - so matter the type of furbaby you have - that is cool with me! I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is having a great time and is in good hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible hybrid work schedule and genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals and outdoors. I typically start my mornings with exercise or a long walk, so having a dog join me for walks, fresh air, and adventure is something I truly enjoy rather than view as a task. My work schedule is generally a standard 8:30 AM–4:30 PM, but because of the flexibility of my position, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Outside of work, I naturally spend a lot of my free time hiking, exploring nature, or relaxing at home, which makes it easy to give pets both activity and quality downtime. I’m also someone who plans ahead and takes reliability seriously. In the event of an emergency, I have wonderful neighbors nearby (my sister lives next door!) who can assist if needed, so your pet will always be well cared for and looked after. I care for every pet like they’re my own and focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I live in an apartment community on the second floor with no balcony, which helps create a secure space for pets. My apartment also has large windows with lots of natural light, and there’s a park very close by with plenty of grass and space for walks and outdoor time. I currently have no kids or other pets, so if your animal prefers being the only pet or doesn’t get along well with others, that’s absolutely not a problem. I also have some basic dog training experience and truly believe in following the owner’s instructions closely so your pet’s routine, comfort, and boundaries stay consistent. Crate or no crate, as long as they are potty trained in general - we are good to go!
“This is the second time we have used Steven and his family to care for our dog while we were on vacation and not able to bring her! Everything was easy and Edna was well cared for! She even remembered were we were going at drop off and got excited💙 Thank you Steve and family for making it a little easier to leave our pup and not worry!!!”
“Where do I start? I'll just start like this, Mrs Laree was the greatest. She helped with my concerns fir My Daisy as this was the longest we had been away from her. Her daily updates, and photos were very nice as well.”
“Brandon & his family did a great job with our dog Buck. It was a last minute situation and he graciously took him in. Brandon has a great way with dogs. He had a big yard that is fenced in and a doggie door which let Buck go in and out, smell things and run. He was also taken on walks and given lots of attention. I highly recommend Brandon as a dog sitter. We also received pictures twice a day.”
“She is amazing with our dog Axel! Sends lots of updates while we are away. We always know our dog is in good hands while we are gone! Thank you again for taking such good care of our boy!”
“Steven was great with Bear! He communicated within 15 minutes of a message and sent pictures daily of my dog. One thing I know is if my dog speaks (barks at me) at the end of a stay, we will know he had a bad stay. But Bear did not speak, and he looked absolutely happy when we picked him up. I would definitely book Steven again!”
“Veronica and family were amazing with our Deja! Multiple updates and pictures everyday. It was very apparent right from the start that they would take extra care of Deja. They worked with Deja on using the doggy door for the first time and loved her little quirks. I would 100% bring Deja back for sitting.”
“Rebecca and her lovely family took such wonderful care of Jasper and Winnie! My pups enjoyed all the extra play time and attention the children showered on them. They loved running and playing in their huge backyard too. I do believe Winnie and Jasper were actually smiling when I picked them up :) We would love to come back for another stay, thank you!!”
“Kelly took care of Aiko for the second time and she was great! Aiko really seemed to enjoy her stay. I'm so glad we found her, she's super reliable. Aiko can be a little shy, but she warmed right up to Kelly. It gives me such peace of mind knowing Aiko is in good hands. I would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a pet sitter. We'll definitely be booking her again. Thanks again Kelly!”
“Celeste is awesome! Since moving to PHX I have had trouble finding a dog sitter. My dog is not easy by any means, but with her patience she boarded him over thanksgiving week for a fair rate. Anyone considering Celeste, do it!”
“I was really in a bind, I was in Michigan, and my sister is in Mesa. She needed an overnight dog sitter and couldn't use Rover. I signed up , found James and Erin. I made the arrangements for my sister. Duffy got dropped off. My sister ended up needing surgery so the arrangements had to be extended and they accommodate us in a heartbeat! They both couldn't have been better! Can't wait to use them again! Debbie”
“Kelly and Dahl are amazing! Lovely home with a lovely yard. Mochi loved staying with them, playing with their young daughters and the other dogs they were sitting this past weekend. They took such great care of our dog, we cannot thank them enough!!! 5/5 ⭐️!”
“Erica was great with Phoebe and did a great job updating me every day. And she was super accommodating to adjustments to my schedule. Definitely will book with her again!”
West Central dog parents share their Rover experiences
Michelle and Cyrus were so wonderful with our dogs. They have an excellent set up at the house and in their back yard for the dogs. Michelle was very responsive and attentive. She sent pictures and videos every day which helped ease our minds being away from our babies for a week. They took such great care of our pups and we are so grateful! We highly recommend Michelle and Cyrus.
As always, Laura and her husband were amazing with our dog Captain. They really treat him like he’s part of the family and the updates I get throughout his stay always make me smile and show that he’s having the best time. Captain always loves staying with them :)
I have a very high energy dog and Veronica made it a priority to ensure Cash got plenty of attention and playtime. She also sent photos and videos throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Veronica to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter.
First of I want to say Erica was amazing! She took my request last minute when someone bailed on watching my puppy. She agreed to watch him for 9 days and took amazing care of him. She updated me constantly and sent me tons of pictures so I wouldn’t miss out on anything! She gave him lots of attention and cuddles! Dash loved her! He didn’t want to leave her when I picked him up! Will def book with Erica again
I left my 15 week old puppy for the first time, and chose Maria to take care of her! Maria went above and beyond for my girl. She send photos and updates to ease my nerves, washed my blankets and towels before pickup. My puppy Prada was sent home with extra toys and a little handmade gift for her first stay ever. After just one stay, I would highly recommend Maria to watch your special furry friends!!
Leah is fantastic! She provides a calm, structured, and peaceful environment that makes you feel completely at ease leaving your dog in her care. She is incredibly attentive to specific routines with a low-stress approach that was necessary for my pet’s needs. **Highly recommended** for anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!
Paige was a great host! Mamba loved staying over and was really comfortable in Paige’s house. We have a very nervous dog so it was nice to have someone make him feel comfortable relatively quickly. She sent lots of pictures And updates. Will be booking with Paige again!
