She also led classes on her own a number of times, and I found her instruction to be very high quality. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend classes, one-on-one training, or boarding with Angelika.

He has been dashing our sheepdog mix for over a year now, and she loves him so much. She is always so happy when he comes to get her and seems so content after her workout.

Cannot wait until next time!

How would they know what to do if they had never been to my apartment before? Randy (the owner) came to my apartment before the first visit and took copious notes about what to do. He asked that I buy a lock box on Amazon and place it somewhere in the garage of my building with my keys inside for the pet sitter. I'm used to giving my keys to my pet sitters, but this is actually pretty convenient because it means that I can get my key back right away when I come home. There have been a couple pet sitters who have been to my place, but Anna has been there the most. All of them post updates with photos that appear on the app that you can download on your smartphone (you also get an email copy of this as well). I feel like Anna has really gotten to know my kitty and I appreciate that she really seems to enjoy spending time with her. The other convenient thing about this pet sitter is that you can request the dates of your pet sits online and also you can pay for them with credit card afterwards.

They use an app that makes the whole process seamless from beginning to end. I would gladly use again and suggest others their services as well - oh, and I might add that their rates are incredibly reasonable too.

I feel so comforted and safe going on short to long trips knowing my home and my fur babies are in his care. 12/10 will always recommend!

First off, I'd like to say that the thought of leaving our pets at home while we went on vacation…read morewas extremely stressful. But once we met John and Shauna, the owners, we quickly realized our fur babies were in the best hands possible. They were not only warm and welcoming but also incredibly professional. If you're a pet owner looking for a true 10-out-of-10 service, this is the company. Our pet sitter, Karen, was nothing short of amazing--so loving, so attentive, and so patient with our very needy black cat, Jax. She didn't just stop by; she stayed, hung out, and genuinely spent time with him. And even though our gray cat, Dolce, didn't come out very much, she was just as incredible in caring for her and making sure she felt safe and comfortable. Wow... just wow! We were floored by her love for animals. THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking such great care of the fur babies we love dearly. I would recommend this company to absolutely anyone. And honestly, anyone leaving anything less than a five-star review? Shame on you! These people love animals and treat your pets as if they were their own. Amazing, amazing, amazing! You'll always be our go-to whenever my wife and I take a vacation.

Pretty sad that I have to leave this review, but I did try to be patient and see if the business…read morewould get back to prospective customers. (I thought since the reviews were perfect, they might come thru... but instead... nada!) We were considering giving them a pet sitting job for over a month in length. But unfortunately they can't be reached via the phone. I left a vm and waited an entire week and got no call back. Backstory: Ironically I believe there's someone named Shauna who operates the website and Yelp(and does a prompt job responding), but John the caretaker is the one who's phone number is associated with the biz, and he is unable to be reached to line up appointments!! (I contacted them a year or two ago when we were considering using them. We didn't end up needing them, but when we tried them last week when we finally did, John did not decide to call us back.) I'm glad others have good experiences. But that was not ours. ‍

We love Desert Rose Pets. We have been using Danielle for almost a year now for our two dogs and…read morethey love her. Even on days she's not scheduled, if we run into her they get so excited. Danielle always shows up when she says she's going to and we really appreciate the texts and pictures so we know our girls are being looked after.

We are so thankful that we found Desert Rose Pets and look forward to our continued relationship in the future.

She made sure to send us updates on how they were doing and it made our time apart from them easier than past vacations. We unfortunately had one of our dogs also get sick while we were gone and immediately Danielle knew something was wrong with our pore pug. Without hesitation she took her to the emergency room for us and kept us updated the entire time. Danielle made sure she had a heated seat, warm blanket, and a T-shirt so that she wouldn't hurt herself more. Her love for animals is beyond words and we couldn't thank her enough for everything she did for us while we were gone.

Before moving to Arizona, we'd get stressed every time we moved because that meant finding a new…read morepet sitter who would service our new location. Although many people do not get a pet sitter for their cats, we believe that they will be more comfortable in their natural environment (and, of course, I mean inside at home not roaming the yard in the desert heat to be eaten by coyotes or hit by a car), so we have always chosen to have someone come to our home to feed and play with our cats, as well as change the litter box, collect our mail and just generally keep an eye on things while we're away. So, given our obvious passion for cat welfare, we were just as concerned when moving to Arizona (a little over two years ago) about finding the right pet sitter. The first person we interviewed seemed flat out disinterested in being there and told us outright that he "didn't like cats." What the hell? I mean, I guess I'm glad he was honest so we didn't mistakenly hire him and regret it, but why not just advertise yourself as being a dogs-only pet sitter? Anyway, when Teri Ann first came to our house, we just knew right away that she would be a great fit. She was really friendly, smiling and putting us at ease, and once she started interacting with cats, it was clear that she was a die-hard animal lover. She took her time to let each one pick up her scent and talked to them in a soothing voice. Since that initial meeting, we have probably had Teri Ann pet sit for us about 20-25 times. Each time, our cats have seemed happy and healthy upon our return, and she always takes the time to leave us a note about the visit, as well as to text us updates while we are gone. Her pricing is also reasonable at $20/visit and we have saved around 15% percent by purchasing a visit pack (I believe it's 30 visits) in advance. Customers with visits also get a bit of leeway in terms of last-minute scheduling or cancellations, so that's another benefit of the bundle. When she couldn't make a visit or was herself out of town, she either has her sitter or another trusted pet sitter substitute. Also, when we lost one of our four kitties to an incurable disease, she showed us true sympathy and compassion. About a month ago, we moved to Central Phoenix and were again put back in our "worry place" about finding a new pet sitter. Well, good news for us and our kitties: Teri Ann agreed to still be our pet sitter! I'm not saying that she would travel that far from her home base (Laveen) for every client, but it was just another testament to her dedication to our cats. Although we don't have a need for her additional services, Teri Ann also offers hiking lessons for people, hiking events for dogs, as well as a variety of other dog-related services (airport rides, walking, etc.).

Terri Ann (the owner) has a variety of pet sitting services. She sat for our pups overnight on two…read moredifferent trips. She is pricier than a kennel, but for overnight she is only about $10 more a night than at the vet since we have two dogs. She hangs out at the house overnight and walks the dogs every day. The dogs just look at us like, "oh were you gone?" Instead of the crazy, desperate, "get me out of this kennel!!" After our week long trips. I would highly recommend, especially if you are a worrywart about your pets.
