Reviews
What Arizona pet parents say.
Real reviews from Google
"Wonderful experience with VetterCare! My 8 yr. old dog was treated like family. Thank you Sydney A. for making her special."
"Martha watched my great dane a lil while back. Not only is he a handful with anxiety and skin issues, but he’s also HUGE. Many sitters aren’t comfortable with all of that but it has never deterred Martha. and having my baby with somebody I trust, gives me peace of mind. Not to mention my pup loved her! Highly recommend Martha for any of your pets needs! She’s the best!!"
"Martha was amazing!! She kept updated on how my dogs were doing while I was away!! I recommend going with her because she’s keeps me up to date with what is going on with my fur-babies and is very easy to trust. 1000% recommend!"
"Sarah D. Watched our 2 cats while we were on vacation. She was very reliable and my fur babies seemed very happy to have her."
"Sarah was awsome! I really appreciate her taking care of my baby boy overnight! I have a 16 year old biting little chihuahua who isnt a fan of most people. He loves and adores her. She was so sweet to him. Her level of professionalism and kindness are amazing. I will definitely be back."
"Lexy is amazing with our dog Poe. She is so patient, kind, and genuinely loves what she does. Poe is always happy and comfortable with her, which gives us total peace of mind. We are so grateful to have someone we trust so much with our dog and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat."

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How do I know I can trust my pet sitter in Surprise?
Every VetterCare veterinary professional is experienced and background-checked, not just anyone who signed up on an app. We match you directly and stay involved, so you're not relying on a stranger's self-written profile.
What's the difference between VetterCare and a pet-sitting app?
Those platforms are directories — you're choosing between profiles written by the sitters themselves, with no clinical training required. Everyone who cares for your pet through VetterCare is a veterinary professional, trained to notice things a general pet sitter wouldn't, like early signs of illness or stress.
How much does pet sitting cost in Surprise?
Pricing depends on visit length, frequency, and your location. You'll get a clear quote before booking — no surprise charges.
What happens if my pet needs medical attention while I'm away?
Because your sitter is a veterinary professional, they're trained to recognize when something's wrong and can act quickly — coordinating with your vet if needed, not just noticing a problem after the fact.
Will I get updates while I'm away?
Yes. Your veterinary professional sends photo updates while you're away, so you know how your pet is doing.
Can my sitter give my pet medication?
Yes. Our veterinary professionals are trained and comfortable handling medication as part of a normal visit, not as a special add-on.
Which parts of Surprise do you serve?
Our veterinary professionals live in Surprise, with more nearby in Peoria, Youngtown, Wittmann, and Glendale. We also serve Sun City, Sun City West, and El Mirage. Not sure we cover your street? Call (602) 887-4411 or start a booking and we'll let you know.
