Dog Walking Arroyo Chico

About: I have over a decade of experience working with animals, first in the veterinary field and then as a professional dog trainer. I use positive reinforcement methods to help bring out the best in dogs, making training fun and providing structured physical and mental outlets for them. I have experience with all types of dogs, from high energy puppies to mobility challenged seniors. I have also worked with dogs of different temperaments and with specific behavioral needs. I look forward to hearing about your dog and how I can help you bring out the best version of them. I am currently going back to school so I have a flexible schedule, and it changes every few months. Please reach out to ask me about me specific availability and I will do my best to accommodate you. I am happy to provide care for your pets in their home, where they will be most comfortable. I can check in on them, provided them with food, water, potty breaks, and I am happy to hang out and keep them company if that is something you would like. I can also send text and photo updates for you can be confident your pet is being well cared for.

About: I have hands-on experience fostering rescue dogs for the past two years—especially puppies. I’ve helped rehabilitate malnourished, abandoned dogs and guided them into loving forever homes. My own dog is a foster fail I nursed back to health at just 2 months old after she was found on the street. Since then, I’ve fostered an entire litter of five puppies, all of whom were successfully adopted. I specialize in caring for young dogs and have a deep understanding of their needs—whether it’s feeding, socializing, crate training, or just giving them the love and patience they deserve. That said, I truly adore dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m currently studying from home, so your dog will never be left alone, and I live near two fully fenced parks for safe, fun playtime. Since I’m studying from home, I have the flexibility and time to give dogs my full attention throughout the day. My own dog has set a great routine for me—morning walks, playtime in the nearby fenced parks, feeding, training moments, and lots of cuddles in between. I love staying active and making sure dogs are both mentally and physically stimulated. Whether it’s short potty breaks, long sniffy walks, or just hanging out together while I study, caring for dogs blends seamlessly into my day. In my home, pets have a cozy and safe environment to relax and play. I have a crate available for those who are crate-trained or need a quiet space to rest, along with plenty of toys to keep them entertained. I also have access to two fully fenced parks just a short walk away, perfect for playtime and exercise, plus a fenced front porch for fresh air and people-watching in a safe spot. I keep a clean, calm space and follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that means meal schedules, medications, or snuggle time. Your dog will be treated like one of my own!

“Steve took great care of my wild 80lb puppy. He was nice enough to come over for a meet n greet first which immediately put our mind at ease. He was awesome at following instructions and the picture updates were amazing. Thank Steve!!”

About: Hi! I've had my cat Olive for 11 years and my dog Bel for 3 years. I have also taken care of close to 70 foster animals mostly kittens, with a few medical fosters, and behavioral issues along the way. I have taken courses on behavioral training for dogs as my own dog is reactive towards dogs, so I am very familiar with dog reactivity. I currently run a small 1 man business from my home and have control over my schedule to provide care to other animals regularly. I also foster other animals from time to time. My own dog is reactive and high energy and needs 3 walks a day usually with a lot of play. My cat is a large maincoon that requires a strict diet and care regimen to keep her pre-diabetes in check.

About: I worked at a boarding business for about a year and a half for dogs and cats. I worked with all different sizes and breeds, and ages of dogs and cats. My job tittle including playing and cuddling with the animals, feeding the animals, cleaning where they stayed, and giving medicine to the animals that required it. I have a little more than basic knowledge of dogs and cats health and always try to stay up to date with that. I dog sit and cat sit for friends and families regularly aswell. I have always grown up around animals and if you were to ask anyone who knows me they will say I have always wanted to work with animals since I knew what a job was. I am currently a college student and am majoring in wildlife conservation, while that's not specifically a major for cats and animals I still have and will learn a lot about those species as well!! I currently don't have a job so my schedule is really open. I work out everyday usually in the mornings to early afternoons. But I have a very flexible schedule! I have a fenced backyard just under 2acres of land. So it is very spacious for bigger dogs to run around in! I am able to walk dogs for however long.

“Parker took excellent care of Baloo during drop-in visits. He did a great job of following my list of pretty extensive instructions, and spent extra time keeping my anxious boy company. I received daily photos of a happy dog! I will not hesitate to book with Parker and Alysa again.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses, so caring for pets isn’t just a job, it’s truly my passion. I just lost my senior dog, which means I understand how much your furry family member means to you. I specialize in caring for anxious pets and know how to create a calm, reassuring environment so they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. Before every stay I love to do a meet and greet, so your pet and I can get acquainted before you leave. My mornings are completely free, so your pet gets walks, playtime and plenty of cuddles to start the day. I’m available both weekdays and weekends and communicate as often as you’d like, expect lots of photos and updates! I follow your pet’s existing routine and your instructions to the letter, from feeding schedules to medication administration to emergency protocols. Your rules, your way.

“Larry did a great job with Ellie. He was attentive to her needs and communicated along the way. I’m excited to have Larry as my new walker and seems to be a great fit. I would recommend Larry for anyone needing a dog walker for their fur child.”

About: I have been watching other people’s dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I have cared for animals big and small, reptiles included. At this time I am only working with cats, reptiles, and small dogs. I have worked with all sorts of temperaments and am diligent about making sure they get adequate potty breaks and food. Playtime is a priority, too. I want to ensure that you and your pet are satisfied! I have skills in medication administration - oral and injectable - for cats of all ages and temperaments. I have oral medication experience with dogs. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am currently working from home so I am able to work your pet into my schedule quite easily! I can come multiple times a day. I believe your pets’ safety is of the utmost importance. To maintain their safety I will keep your dog securely on a leash when we go on a walk. I will ensure that your cat or dog does not get out of the house when they are not supposed to be outside. Finally, I will build a good rapport with your beloved pets so that they will trust me, and so you can trust me, too!

About: I have been a licensed massage therapist for 12 years. My skills have overflowed into treating animals big, small and in between sizes (horses, dogs, cats, rats). I learned to communicate with animals by learning to read their body language and energy. With this skill, I have trained 5 dogs to use the treadmill, 1 cat to use the toilet, and 1 dog to pass his good canine certificate. I enjoy working with animals slightly more than humans...shhh don't tell my human clients :) I am self employed as a Licensed Massage Therapist and I make my own schedule. I treat animals as well. I can adjust my schedule as needed. During the winter I prioritize my human clients which still allows me to overnight sit. During the summer I have more time to provide play dates and walks. As of now, I only accept overnight sits at the owners home. I have a valid Arizona Level 1 Fingerprint Clearance Card, issued by the AZ Dept. of Public Safety for my work as a Licensed Massage Therapist and for my volunteer work in Hospice. I combine my experience and intuition in observing how the owners respond to their pets and incorporate what the animal is familiar with. I bring my ability to communicate through body language and energy to create a calming presence. I ask clarifying questions. I know owners want the best for their pets!

“Maggie was absolutely amazing! If I could give her 6 stars I would. From the moment we met her we could tell how caring she was and how much she loves animals. She was so good with our little chihuahua and was amazing about sending updates with photos and videos. We are so thankful we found Maggie and hope to work with her again in the future. If you are looking for someone to take good care of your fur baby, look no further! Maggie is hands down the best!❤️”

“It's always a joy to have Lily walk the dogs. We were watching our daughters dog who was a little unfriendedly the first time meeting her (which was normal for this dog). Lily knows and understands dogs and was able to have the dog get comfortable with her. Both dogs came back tired and exhausted but very happy from their morrning walk. Highly recommend her!”
