Dog Walking Baseline-Hardy

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was born! We have never had less than 5 pets in the house. I grew up dog and cat sitting and am comfortable dealing with challenging pets. I have been a walker on here for over a year now and love meeting your sweet pets. I am currently attending naturopathic medical school in Tempe. I have early morning availability as well as sporadically through the afternoons and evenings. I should be able to work around just about any schedule. I am also a slow but passionate runner and am happy to include runs as well :) I have a lot of experience dealing with difficult pets. I can handle big and loud dogs, crazy chihuahuas, temperamental cats, and more. I grew up pet sitting and dog walking and am able to appreciate each and every pet for who they are.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats on the farm and own two dogs of my own. I have had each of them since they were puppies and they are now 7 and 8 years old. One of my dogs is reactive to other dogs so I understand some animals need a little extra time, love, and support to feel comfortable. I also foster kittens through a local organization. I have worked as a nurse for 10 years and have struggled to find trustworthy individuals to let my dogs out with my irregular schedule. I joined rover to help other people working odd hours have care for their pets. Since I have worked both day and night shift, I understand the need for animal care at non-traditional hours. I have also been a travel nurse and know the stress of moving to a new city and finding care. I am available on weekends, most holidays, and days before 2pm. I am occasionally available Monday and Friday evenings as well. I am familiar with cats and dogs of all sizes. I abide by your preferences and will ensure your pets are taken care of in the same manner you would care for them.

About: Hello! I have previously worked for a dog training business and have experience caring for pets for the last five years. I’ve done in-home sitting, dog walking, check ins. I am also certified by the AZ Humane Society to care for dogs! I absolutely love animals and will ensure your pets are well cared for. I will also be able to use leash skills on walks and dog psychology training techniques when sitting and caring for your animal. I work as a teacher, so starting May 27th will be available more frequently overnight and for morning and evening check ins. I’m free both during the week and weekends and am prepared to go on late night walks or early morning walks with your dog. I can promise quality care for your dog and make sure you feel comfortable leaving your dog in my hands. Please message me if you’re in need of care! Hello! I am a teacher on Summer break until July 17th, so have open availability and consistently update my calendar. I can do overnights, morning, and evening check ins! Due to my years of experience, I am able to provide your dog(s) with the attention and care that they require. Whether it be crate training, water & shade on walks, or play!

About: I'm from Costa Rica, but I've been in AZ for 10 years now. I've had dogs pretty much my whole life. Now I live in Tempe near the mall, and there's a park right by my apartment. My job's flexible, so I can give whatever care is needed. I love all breeds.

“This was our first time meeting Kayla and it went amazingly well. Usually Lexi takes some time to warm up to a new human, but Kayla knew exactly what to do to help her relax. It was a very calm meeting and I know my girl will be in very good hands. We will definitely be booking future walks and check-ins with her. Thank you, Kayla 😊”

“Bella was simply wonderful. From booking through her walk and hang with Rex, she was very communicative. Her summary notes were very thorough and she provided great insight into my little guy. I would 100% book again.”

Pete R.

“Sara was amazing with my boy, Nox. Despite needing to make a few modifications to the booking because of unexpected work plans, I am grateful Sara was able to accomodate my schedule changes. She had great communication and would update me with photos regularly. It gave me total piece of mind that my dog was in good hands. I'd be happy work with Sara again in the future.”

About: I love all animals! I get along with animals and respect their boundaries. I grew up with cats, but I have watched my friends’ dogs as well. I am currently about to go back to college after taking a break and I am a substitute teacher! I already take care of my own pet and enjoy it, so why not help others, as well? You and your pet’s trust and safety is extremely important to me. I want to make sure I respect everyone’s boundaries, as well as make sure everyone is happy! I will play with your pets and back off when needed. Pictures will be sent at request, as well. I love cuddle bugs, but will make sure it is what they want.

About: I have lived with animals my whole life. Because I move a lot, I do not own a pet of my own, but I watch and care for my friends' and roommates' pets as much as I can so I can get my fix. I understand the importance of trust and comfort when leaving your pet with someone. My active lifestyle allows me to keep dogs engaged with exercise, and my calm nature helps soothe more anxious or shy pets. I work during the week, and I will mainly be available to petsit during weekends: Friday night, Saturdays, and Sundays. I do occasionally work from home and can watch your fur babies on a case by case basis on weekdays! I love running, hiking, and movement. If comfortable, I would love to hike with your pup! Additionally, I am an early riser, and I can do early. morning walks or drop ins (5:00 AM-7:00 AM) everyday. For dogs, I love incorporating activities like walks, runs, and hikes into our day, providing them with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I'm always mindful of their safety, keeping an eye on weather conditions and ensuring they have access to fresh water and shade. With cats, I focus on maintaining their normal routines and giving them plenty of love and attention. Whether it's playtime with their favorite toys, brushing sessions, or just curling up for some quiet time, I make sure they feel secure and happy. In both settings, I keep communication open with the pet owners, sending updates and photos so they know their furry family members are in good hands.

“2nd time booking with Bella but this time I booked very last minute. Thank goodness she was pretty flexible! My pup has a high energy levels so these walks help a whole lot to tire him out. Bella is very sweet and nice—10/10 recommend.”

About: I've always had a love for animals and have spent years caring for pets of all kinds. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, and even tortoises, which have helped me become comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and care routines. Growing up, before I had pets of my own, I loved helping friends and family care for their pets whenever I had the chance, and spending time with animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy! I also have experience with younger pets. My first dog and cats were all under a year old when I got them, so I am familiar with the extra attention, patience, and care that puppies and kittens need while they're still growing and learning. As a student at ASU, I'm not able to have a pet of my own right now, which is one of the reasons I joined Rover! I really miss being around animals and would love the opportunity to care for your pets while giving them lots of attention, companionship, and affection. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always treat them like family, while making sure you feel comfortable and updated while they're in my care! 🐾 I am currently on summer break from ASU and not working another job, so I have very open availability throughout the week. I am flexible with scheduling and available most days, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and care. I am happy to work around what best fits your pet's routine and needs! I do not currently have pets of my own, but I have previous experience caring for both dogs and cats. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. With dogs, I enjoy taking them of walks and making sure they get proper exercise and stimulation. With all animals, I focus on reading their energy and making sure they feel comfortable and happy no matter what mood they're in. I always aim to treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe and cared for in any setting.

About: I've loved all types of animals growing up. We always had a dog. My family raised a rooster, goats, horses, chickens, ducks, and emu's. They had an iguana at one point and my favorite thing was to help care for the animals. At 19, I fell in love with a black short hair rescue cat and I've had cats since. I am currently a caregiver and full time mom. Pet care, in shorter shifts, helps facilitate helping my client and taking the best care of my family. I care for my cats by helping groom them via brush or glove, sift litter daily and change litter weekly. Having several cats means continuous care. Wet food in the morning and evening and dry food set out during the day with a fresh water bowl or fountain. Treats for behavior reinforcement and extra love.

“Briana was INCREDIBLE! I needed a dog walker last minute and she was willing and able. I planned to only leave one dog with her, but I decided to leave both. She walked him as instructed and not only that I did not inform her that I keep the leashes hanging on the hooks behind the door I came home and those leashes we’re on the hooks they belong on! I didn’t even need to give her that instruction. This is how incredible she is. I will continue to reach out to her through this at any time I need my dogs taken care of my small dog is a Chihuahua, so I hesitated to leave him with her. However, she has incredible experience with this type of dog, and was able to walk him without a problem, the dog I needed her to walk is a 70 pound dog. She was able to walk him with no problem at all the first walk they didn’t require a full 30 minute walk yet she stayed at my apartment and spent time with them because she was being paid for that half hour , she is honest, reliable and intelligent. She catches on and simply takes care of your dogs in the best possible way I will continue to call her when I need my dogs watched thank you to Rover and thank you Briana!”

“Andrea has been great with Luna. Luna was very timid and shy when she first met Andrea and now she loves when she comes over and takes her for walks.”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life. My family had a two high energy dogs growing up and even from a young age I would enjoy caring for the two of them. After they passed, I volunteered at my local humane society, working mainly with dogs. When I was about 17, I convinced my family to adopt a puppy. I taught him basic commands, potty training, and basic leash skills. I currently own a cat who is equal parts sweetheart and menace. Being tasked with raising a kitten turned out to have a massive learning curve, but he is absolutely spoiled with playtime, toys, and treats. He is currently being leash trained and we’re working on anxiety associated with his crate. I have a PRN position at a children’s hospital, so I have plenty of time to check in on your baby/babies. I work a short Monday shift from 12-4PM. I have a hybrid pharmacy schedule, so I am able to attend classes from wherever I am. I care for all pets with love and respect. The main goal is to establish trust with new pets by allowing them to approach me with interest on their own terms, even if it takes a while. Providing pets with playtime and attention is a priority after their daily basic needs are met. I believe in gentle correction or making an activity more interesting with treats or a favorite toy when a pet is acting up or disinterested.

About: Hi! I’m Courtney, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, daycare, or overnight stay, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and needs, and I do my best to make their time with me feel as close to home as possible. For pets staying in our home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. All pets are fed separately to ensure an stress-free mealtime experience, and they’re welcome on the furniture for snuggles and relaxation. We also have plenty of toys available for sharing, enrichment, and playtime throughout the day. Our large, grassy backyard gives dogs plenty of space to explore and enjoy outdoor time and sunbathe. You’ll receive regular photo updates and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and love building lasting relationships with both pets and their people. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my days around caring for my own dog. Daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, enrichment, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for are already a regular part of my life. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate drop-ins, walks, daycare, and overnight care throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets feels less like a task and more like something I truly love doing. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I’m also comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and adapting to each pet’s personality and needs. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. In my own home, pets are treated like family. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and space to relax. I also have a friendly, well-socialized dog who does well with other animals, and I always prioritize slow introductions and safety to make sure everyone is comfortable.

About: Caring for animals feel natural to me and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, quirks, and routines. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and sizes, from energetic puppies to adults. As a dog mom myself, I’m comfortable with crate training, reinforcing basic commands, administering medications, and following special diets or care instructions. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so pets can feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I’m a full-time online student and stay-at-home mom, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and spend plenty of quality time with the pets I care for. My two daughters absolutely adore animals and love helping give them attention and affection, while also understanding that some pets need space and quiet time. I’ll do my best to make them feel right at home. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. I’m a full-time online student and stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time. I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and boarding with advance notice. I’m happy to adjust with some heads up to meet your pet’s needs. I prioritize safety and comfort for every pet in my care. I live in an apartment with a dog park and enjoy walks and hikes. My own dog is neutered and vaccinated. I’m good with reading body language and I treat every pet as if they were my own!
