Dog Walking Alvarado

About: I have never met a pup or kitty I couldn't befriend! Pets have been an important part of my life for the lion's share of it. I have experience sitting for a large range of dog breeds and I have have taken care of cats most of my life. My schedule is very flexible. As long as I have prior notice, I can fit pet care into any part of my week. I am hoping to develope this into something full time. I have a home with a large yard in the country. Plenty of room for pups to run around. Inside is a nice cool wood floor for pups to rest on after playtime.

About: Hi. I have 3 dogs and a lizard. I've been helping animals for 13 years now. If you have anymore questions let me know. Im ready to help I'm unemployed so I can come drop in of walk your fure baby anytime! Am-mid-pm 2 or 10 times a day! Hoping to hear from you I will play with them! Tuck them in! Read them a bed time story! Give meds! Feed am-mid-pm! Keep them company by watching TV or cuddling!

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet. I treat each animal like a member of my own family and take the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I'm experienced with puppies and can reinforce basic training, potty schedules, crate training, and positive behaviors through consistency and patience. I'm also comfortable caring for senior pets, including administering oral medications, accommodating mobility challenges, and providing the extra attention and gentle care they need. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or has special requirements, I'm committed to providing dependable, loving care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I am currently a college student so I can provide pet care before and after classes. I am also free every Friday, Saturday and Sunday! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow their regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether in your home or mine, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, and updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I've had dogs since I was a kid, and currently have 4! I often watch my friends and families dogs when they leave town, and have ranch sitting experience. I love meeting new pets! I stay at home, so I am able to spend all day with your pups! I am almost always available for boarding or daycare here at my house! I have a fenced yard with shade and a small doggy pool I can set up easily. I have 4 dogs of my own (they are all very dog friendly) that I can easily crate if needed. I can take your pup with us to the park to walk a bit too! I can do whatever works best for you and your pup!

About: Always comforting and a joy being around dogs. Easy to gain trust while maintaining a safe and playful environment for all breeds and ages :) I’m currently between jobs, so I have a very open schedule and can give your dog my full attention throughout the day. Drop-offs, pick-ups, and any special timing needs are easy to accommodate. Pet care is my main focus right now. Dogs stay in a calm, low-stress home with a fully fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time. I closely follow your care instructions, keep constant eyes on your pet, and send regular photo updates so you always know how things are going.

About: Over the past 3 years, I’ve helped a close friend by caring for her dogs while she was away. I make sure dogs get plenty of attention, walks, and a consistent routine so they feel happy and comfortable. I offer in-home visits for your pets at times that work best for you. Each visit includes attention, playtime, and care that keeps their routine consistent while you’re away. I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I provide safe and reliable in-home care for your pets. I follow your instructions carefully, make sure your pet feels comfortable, and keep their routine consistent. I also update you if anything important happens, so you always know your pet is safe and happy.

“Today was a last minute dog-walk request and Paula was so awesome to accommodate us - on her birthday to boot! Our pup got an extra long walk and she even gave our kitties some love and attention before she headed out the door. I love her updates and photos she sends from each visit. We'll definitely hire Paula again!”

About: I have worked with animals a majority of my life. Whether it be dogs, cats, or even exotics, I have worked with a wide variety of creatures. This includes pet sitting, diet management, some training, daycare, and more. I also have 2 years of veterinary experience giving me an insight to recognize behaviors of all sorts of pets alike along with understanding how to work with them. I absolutely love pets, after all I love my own. I have about 7 of them myself including fur and scaled babies alike. My mornings usually start with them, and my nights end with them as well. With my two years of veterinary experience, I can recognize patterns that are out of the ordinary or are strange to the particular animal. This allows me to have proper knowledge of what to alert the pet parent to and ask if the behavior is normal for their babies while also keeping them updated to ensure that they are safe and taken care of.

“Elizabeth is wonderful! Your pet will be taken great care of by her!!”

I am currently working full time as a teacher. I will have some weekends and certain holidays available. Possibly some evenings during the week for a few hours if needed with some notice ahead of time. I keep a very close eye and follow instructions very well if there are any. I care as if your pet were my own and promise to keep everything clean & taken care of.

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and currently have a miniature Aussie who is my everything. I love to utilize time with my dog by taking her on walks, playing fetch, or taking her to the dog park. I have many years of experience taking care of other’s fur babies and I love getting to know each and every one of their different personalities. I work from home full time and have spare time to take care of other fur babies, if needed. I make time to walk my dog morning/evenings and give her potty breaks during the day. My dog is very well behaved so she does not need to be in a crate, but if other dogs are needing to be crated, I have a play pen available. Dog cage may need to be provided by owner.

“We could not be any happier with Nita. The walk was planned on very short notice, and Nita gladly and promptly accepted. Our pups love her, and she looks and plays with them as if they’re family.”
