Dog Walking Arnold

About: Please reach out with any questions or concerns! :) I have been around animals my whole life! I grew up around dogs (small, medium, big) and cats. I’ve owned a cat for over half my life and have always taken care of her myself. When I was younger I also helped care for calves and cows, although I’m not sure if that experience will apply here. I have some experience administering medication (pills, eye lubricants and oral syringes) to dogs and cats as well! I regularly visit my parents’ dogs during the day all week, and I spend lots of time with my cat at home. I would love to designate more of my schedule to seeing more pets! Giving attention to animals is my priority to make them feel loved and cared for in the absence of their person/people. Additionally, giving them space when they display a need for it is vital to form a functioning, healthy dynamic with new animals.

About: I have experience when dog-sitting my dogs, family dogs, and friends' dogs. I worked with all sizes. I've worked with reactive dogs and easy-going dogs. I have also taken care of senior dogs and puppies. I have had a puppy as my own and senior dogs as my own as well as reactive dogs. I am very comfortable with walking dogs and taking care of them! I do work a part time job, I usually work in the morning times and am off after 12. I have a car so can make anytime work! I don't have pets at my own home due to having roommates and other pets in the home. I am willing to take care of your furry friend at your house! I will take them potty, on a walk, make sure they have water or if they need to be fed. I will also make sure they have what they need, such as toys, water, food, and attention of course! and are put where they need to be!

“Hope to meet you in person soon Emma! Thank you for being dependable and easy to work with, you saved the day and helped Frida enjoy her time at the mountain house. Will definitely call you again.”

About: I’ve had family pets my whole life and I worked at a humane society for four years with both cats and dogs. Over the years I’ve pet sit for quite a few families. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time hangout with your doggos. I’m usually working only twice a week with the weekends off so I have lots of free time during the week to check up on the animals. Currently I’m not able to board any animals at my house because I’m renting. When I pet sit for people I love to spend time with the animals, playing with them and giving them lots of pets and attention. Basically treat them like my puppies which are back at my parents house.

“Jamie has been the perfect walking buddy for our Corgi, Goober. Jamie is reliable and is excellent with communications about her visits. We're grateful to have found her on this app!”

About: I’ve been taking care and walking a lot of dogs since elementary school and know a lot about pets body language and how they work. Pet care fits into my schedule on the days that i’m off work from my part time job, message me and see what days you need me for and i’ll make it work for you! I know a lot about body language and how to read the signs of what they’re feeling meaning that I can give them what they need in the moment. Following instructions to best take care of your furry friend.

About: I have taken care of my family dogs and cats since I was young. I got my own dog at 17, raising him as a new puppy. I also cared for my lab as he was getting ready to pass. I love all dogs, big or small. I have 2 cats with my boyfriend and love laser games and playing with cat toys. I am a former college athlete and love being active, especially with animals. I am going to be starting medical school at the University of Minnesota this fall. I love long walks and playing with animals. I have a flexible schedule to stop in and care for your sweet pets. I have grown up with small, medium, and large dogs and have learned how to handle and walk all of the appropriately. I have 2 cats now, that love playing with lasers and are easy to handle. I have handled cats when they are uncomfortable and know how to avoid injury and clear the cat from a stressful situation. I will do everything to protect your pets and provide them with quality care.

“Had such a GREAT experience with Sav! She knows exactly what she is doing and was SO adaptable her first time getting to know our dogs quirks. Truly, it means so much as we have a golden retriever who struggles on walks and is anxious! We will absolutely be using her again as our dog walker!”

“Raina enjoyed her walk.”

About: I have two dogs of my own, both golden doodles, who I take care of daily! I do daily feedings, walks, and brushing. I have experience in both daytime check ins and overnight stays with dogs. I am very active and enjoy taking dogs on walks, running around the backyard, or just relaxing in the house! I am flexible in the work I do and can’t wait to meet your pet:) I am currently a college student attending UMD! I have a flexible schedule with classes and am available to do a variety of check in times! :) I care for my own pets by taking them on daily walks, creating activities that engage them, and brush their fur. I will care for clients pets in whatever ways are necessary for the specific animal!

“Peter made sure my pup was cared for. He had career for her many months previously and remembered her special needs. He also took initiative to coordinate care with another person I had asked to stop in to check on my dog. Reliable.”

About: I've grown up with dogs ever since I can remember, though I only lived with one in my teens! I helped care for him through the last of his late years up until he passed, so I also have experience with caring for seniors and those with mobility issues. I've also had experience caring for multiple cats at a time for 4 years. If they're furry, I'll most definitely want to pet them! I currently work full time at a cafe with flexible hours, so if you are in need of an extra early or extra late drop-in, I'll be able to help out there! I can also do mid-day check-ins as well. As long as I get a good amount of time as a head's up, I'll be able to drop in at any time! I am super respectful of others' rules when it comes to their pet care. I am coming into their space, after all. Making sure I leave the home tidy after a play session is important as well!

About: I've been taking care of family and friends pets for nearly a decade. I love spending time and getting to know each individual animal and what makes them unique. I would love to treat your pet like my own. https://www.rover.com/sit/fial23278 I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of spare time to spend with your pet! I normally only work a couple hours Tuesday afternoons and Saturday mornings. I love long walks or time in parks as well as quiet time at home for whatever suits your pet best! I'm more than happy to do whatever I can to make your furry friend as happy as possible.

“Thank you so much! My pup is shy and scared but did so well with your patience! We appreciate ya!”

“Rachel was great!! My pooch was excited to see her every day and he got good walks from her. I highly recommend her!!”

About: Rover is my full time gig, so when I'm sitting pets I'm in the house 90% of the time. I may leave to go to the gym or to a family function, otherwise I'm hanging out with my new friends. I've sat older pups, younger pups, sick pups, huge pups and every kind in between and I've learned that sometimes you need patience and some times you need cleaning supplies but it's always a joy :) I am in between jobs at the moment so I have got plenty of time to walk and play and visit with anyone and everyone I am often the one checking in on my mom's four dogs during the day, letting them out and playing with them, making sure they've got food and water. I love a nice long walk as much as any pooch, and dog parks are a blast too

About: Hello, my name is Aiden and in 23. I have always enjoyed caring for all kinds of animals, being their comfort, as well as building loving connection. I have looked after family/friend's pets in the past. I also have experience with all types of temperaments, anxious, shy, behavioral, no problem!! I can’t remember a single time in my life where I haven’t had a furry companion by my side! I can handle any dog or cat, big or small, high energy, low energy, shy/timid, behavioral, easy going, etc. I never stop learning things about animals so you can be rest assured knowing a reliable person is looking after your pets, & treating them as if they are my own! I’m available all day on the weekends for walks, house sitting or check ins. On weekdays I’m available on Tuesdays after 1pm, all day Wednesdays & am available on Mondays, Thursdays & Fridays after 6:30pm:) I strive to ensure the safest & most comfortable environment possible. Whatever it is your pet may need in order to feel safe & comfortable I will do! On walks your dog will always be kept on their leash to ensure their safety, as well as the safety of any other animals or humans we encounter while out & about. While in your home your pet will never be left unattended, & will never be bored because I will provide as much stimulation for them as possible.

About: I have had dogs my whole life so I know that all dogs are perfect and that you have to trust the person who cares for them because they are one of the most important peoples in your life. I have cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and abilities including blind dogs or ill ones, and of course I love cats, even the real caty-type cats. Up until this year I had 3 of the most perfect dogs but sadly they have passed away at ages 14, 15 and 16. I'd love to get to play and take care of other's pets who need help since I know how tricky it can be to find someone willing and trusting enough for the job. (Especially older pups) Plus I can get snuggles and fill the doggie love need for myself. I run my own small business so I’m very flexible. Most week days and some weekends available. I also have most holidays open since our family lives far away. I treat all the dogs as if they are my own- if they are scared and hiding under the table I will pet them under the table etc. if they want to run and fetch let’s go!

About: Every dog or cat has their own personality, quirks, and needs. I've had pets my entire life and people say I'm a dog whisperer. I'm not really...I just understand what motivates them (treats, love, or praise) and I work with that. My dogs and cats were always like family, and I treat other people's pets like family. I worry about mine when I'm away, so I want people to know that I understand those feelings and that their pets are in good hands. I've also had rodents and reptiles, so I can watch after them too. I do this work simply because I love animals and exercise, so this is perfect. Socialization with new people and reinforcing training material (like basic commands) is mentally beneficial for pets too. Lastly, I'm a retired government employee, so I've had quite the variety of background checks - you will find me honest, reliable and committed. Since I am retired, I can accept drop-in's or walks throughout out the day. Last minute or same day requests are a real possibility depending on when you contact me. I'm quite flexible. I'm not boarding at this time. As far as caring for your pet in your home, I will follow your instructions implicitly. When I have others take care of my own dog and they don't follow my requests, it drives me nuts!

“Courtnie is so detailed and so loving to our pup! Fantastic updates throughout the weekend we were gone and we would absolutely hire her again! Thank you Courtnie, Aria is so grateful!”
