About Ashlee

10 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Hello! My name is Ashlee and I'd love to take care of your pooch. God has blessed me with the natural ability to be a caregiver! It's what I do best! I am a Registered Nurse in the Cardiovascular ICU where I was recently nominated for The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, by a patient who I had cared for. She wrote, "I never felt like I was 'just another patient'. She treated me like family/royalty and on more than one occasion advocated for me." With that, I promise to treat your pup as if they were my own. I have owned three dogs; Fredo a Peek-a-Poo, Rocco a Maltese, and the latest being Nico a Teacup Yorkie. At the young age of 8 Nico was diagnosed with Cancer and with a heavy heart, he was put to rest this past March. It's been hard not having him around. He brought so much light and happiness into my world. "Whoever said that diamonds are a girls best friend...Never owned a dog." I lost my best friend, but it would be an honor to love and care for yours! I live in a pet friendly condo with lots of grassy areas outside. There are other dogs that use that area, big and small, and they are always leashed. I'm also located right next to Osborn Park in Old Town Scottsdale. I have a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom condo with hard wood floors throughout and tile in the kitchen and bathrooms. It is on the second floor. Nico was around 6 lbs and afraid of stairs. I always had to carry him and I will do the same for your pup if stairs are a problem for them as well. I work three 12.5 hour days a week which gives me four free days a week. Those days vary each week. If you know you are going away in advance I can request those days off or try to find a switch. I will be upfront and honest about my schedule. I know other nurses have dogs and work 12.5 days and I have done it myself. Leaving a dog alone for 12.5 hours is a long time and I understand. The upside to working those long hours is that I do get four days off a week. My typical off day consists of me waking up around 6:00am, going for a short hike or going to the gym. Only if it is ok with you, I wouldn't mind taking your dog on the trails if the weather permits. I may run errands/ go to the grocery store and then I am home usually meal prepping, reading books, or continuing my education for nursing. I have a second home in Pittsburgh, PA which I do travel back to frequently. I will keep my calendar and availability up to date but if you have any questions about my schedule please feel free to ask. At this time, I am, most likely, more available for the daycare and dog walking but if my schedule permits I would love to keep those pups overnight too! I am ok with same day booking. I would like to be as accommodating as possible. I am very excited to meet you. I'm looking forward to pampering your pup and showering them with love!

About Melissa

15 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
I am an active animal lover. I have been around dogs since the day I was born. My mom used to sit me between our two huge golden retrievers while she cleaned and cooked! Crazy-but I loved it. I work a mile up the road and come home on lunch break to let the pups out. I live in a town-home that is located right on the greenbelt. Steps away from walking trails, parks, and right next to a dog park!

While you are on vacation your dog will be too! Your dog will be playing in the dog park, going on long walks, and of course have a relaxing, stress free stay! I look forward to being a friendly and fun resort for your pets :)

Additional information:
Drop off times: 630am-6:30pm I prefer morning drop offs for first timers so dogs can get used to my home.
Pick up times: must be picked up before 9pm

Excellent place for a pet to spend the day! We'll be back!!
Melissa was great! She sent us daily photos and updates on our dogs. Nice close location to us and the pups returned home health and healthy. Will most definitely be using Melissa again in the future.

About Briana

16 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
**About me**
Hi There,

My name is Bri and I've been around animals for all of my life. I grew up with at least two dogs in my household at a time, sometimes even up to 4. I've been around Basset Hounds, Retrievers, Border collies, Mastiffs, small dogs such as a yorkies and many more. Old dogs and young dogs. I currently have a Border Collie/Chow/Retriever mix who is 5 years old.

I believe I am a good fit for you and your fur baby because, I have a lot of experience being around many different breeds and dog personalities. I have also raised more than one dog from a puppy to an adult. So I am familiar with any training that is already in place that you'll need me to do.

I often care for my friends pets when they are working or out of town. And I would be happy to do the same for anyone else. I live a very active life and love sharing it!

**About my home/services**
As long as I am being made aware of any quirks or unique things about your dog or dogs needs, I will happily adjust to fit your pet needs to be comfortable while you are away

**About my neighborhood**
I live about a five minute walk from the Greenbelt in Old Town Scottsdale and Old Town. We love walking out own dog along the Greenbelt, going to the nearby parks, or walking her out to dinner somewhere local. As long as your dog is comfortable and you are, we would be happy to do the same!

**What to expect**
Dogs are extremely welcome in my home. My own dog is EXTREMELY friendly and very passive. She has never had an issue with any animal that she has come into contact with. She has actually been in the presence of animal attacks and has not reacted. I want to assure anyone that she will never be an issue. On that note, her friendliness makes her a great company dog for others. We love cuddling on the couch, going on day trips, walks and hiking. We take our dog everywhere, even if it is just for a car ride. We would do the same for your own if you are comfortable with it. We have plenty of toys and stuffed animals for them as well.

**Special rules or requests**
The only limitation I have is aggressive dogs. While I do have experience, I will never put my own dog or yours in a stressful or dangerous situation. If your dog does tend to be aggressive or has a history, I would be happy to let my own dog stay with my best friend for the time being or sit in your home. I want to make it clear, that I do not have any objections to watching or caring for these kinds of animals.

I would prefer meet in greets or phone calls before commitment. Please leave any instructions for me if possible all times! And let me know of any quirks your animal has!

About Raini

10 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
My name is Raini and I grew up on a farm in Prescott Valley, Arizona. I have experience with taking care of all kinds of animals, ranging from all shapes and sizes!
I worked at a dog boarding facility for 3 years in Mayer Arizona before moving to the city.
In Scottsdale Arizona, I worked for a professional pet sitting company for 2 years where I learned to care for dogs in their homes. I then moved on to work for a Healthy Pet Center store, where I learned all about pet nutrition and care,
Now I am eager to continue meeting and caring for furry friends!

My home is located near Old Town Scottsdale, where my fiance and I are the proud owners of three dogs and two cats.
If your dog enjoys being pampered and you would love to know that he/she is experiencing his/her own fun and fantastic "sleep-over" while you are away, then I am the DogVacay sitter for you!
Please feel free to contact me with any questions at any time.

Why I love dog sitting:
My parents bought me my own dog when I was 5 years old. Since then I have always had dogs and have sought out jobs where I can work first-hand with animals.

My experience administering medication:
I am extremely comfortable administering medication, as I had to do so at my previous dog boarding job

Raini was so great with our pup and I would highly recommend her! She sent us updates every night and pictures every morning to let us know how the pup was doing. We will definitely be booking her again!
Raini takes care of my German Shepard while I travel. She is easy to communicate with, flexible and attentive.

About Tammy

10 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
I truly care about animals and i'll do my best to take care of them as you do and love them as if they were mine. I have had 10 years of experience taking care of pets of different ages, breeds and sizes. I'll be happy to give baths and light grooming and also provide medication when needed. I own a 1 year old and a 3 months old Pomeranian who are super friendly and would like to meet new friends. I live next to a park so I can take them for long walks since my dog is very active. This is my full time job so your dog will get attention 24/7 and I'll make sure that you and your fur baby have a great experience. Feel free to ask me any questions!

About Ivy

14 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Sadly, I lost my Australian Shephard, Kahlua, in April 2016 after 14 years. I can't bare to get another dog, but love them and wouldn't mind watching others. It's hard not to come home to Kahlua after so many years and I'm trying to pay off all the bills from her tests and treatments.

Let me love and care for your special baby as I did mine.

In my home, it is only me and I will only take 1 family of dogs at a time so they have my full attention. If you have more than 1, then I am ok with watching them together. They should be house trained or crate trained so I know they will be ok when unsupervised.

In your home, I am willing to take care of as many pets as you have.

Ivy is so amazing! She stayed at our house for 5 nights and watched our 4 dogs and cat. She went above and beyond - I had such peace of mind while being away that my babies were being well cared for. I will definitely be giving Ivy a call the next time we need a sitter!
