Dog Walkers in Black Canyon City, AZ

About: Hello Pet Parents, I'm back to pet sitting after being gone awhile. I was working full time but now I am retired- woo hoo! A little about myself. Friends will tell you that I will run up to greet an animal first before a person - LOL - sad but true! I've volunteered at the AZ Humane Society and rescued all my dogs m from the AZ Animal Welfare League. My last job was working for PetSmart Charities. I just returned from volunteering at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, UT. It was amazing. Please give me a call so we can all have a meet & greet! Thank you! Holly I’ve recently retired and looking to get out of my husband’s hair! I love meeting new pets and adding adventures to their lives since they aren’t with us long enough! At home, we have a pet door and a fully fenced yard. I also own 2 donkeys but I don’t allow them to meet. All it takes is one kick. I’m all about safety first.

About: I have 14 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, grooming, administering oral medications, and providing companionship. I'm comfortable with energetic dogs that require regular exercise as well as older pets with special needs. I understand feline behavior and ensure cats have a clean litter area, proper nutrition, and a stress-free environment. I'm attentive to pet health and safety and know how to spot early signs of illness or distress. Whether it's a quick check-in or overnight care, I prioritize their comfort and well-being. I have a flexible schedule when it comes to pet sitting, allowing me to accommodate various time frames to suit both your needs and your pet's routine. Whether you require short-term care, extended stays, or occasional drop-ins, I can adjust my availability to fit your schedule. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet, ensuring they receive the attention, love, and care they deserve. Let me know your preferred times, and I'll work to make it happen! Whether at your home or mine, I foster a safe, calm, loving environment where pets feel at ease and at home, reducing stress and ensuring they receive the same affection and attention they would from their own families. Your pet's happiness and safety is my top priority every step of the way.

About: Experience caring for anxious and/or special needs animals (diapers, mobility issues, medication, senior dogs, puppies) both professionally and personally. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting on and off for family friends and neighbors since I was a teenager, but started doing so more professionally in the past 5 years. Most of my experience is with overnight care for dogs (ranging from a single night to a full month at a time) but I’m an animal lover with personal experience caring for every kind of pet imaginable (horses, ferrets, fish, cats, bunnies, reptiles/tortoises). I work very flexible hours part-time which mostly consists of work from home, this leaves my schedule wide open for overnight care and long stays. Very good at keeping consistency with feeding and medication schedules, as well as making sure potty breaks taken as frequently as needed (experience with special needs dogs who require being let outside/cleaned up after much more than other dogs).

About: I'm was professional pet trainer at a major retail chain. I've lived with a dog, cat, chinchilla, hamster, bird, or fish most of my life. I love fur babies and want help people when they need to be away from their beloved pets. Most recently, I helped sit a household with four elderly dogs with various medical needs. I have experience giving medications to dogs, as well as dogs with disabilities like blindness and deafness. Ideally with pet sitting, my wife and I would meet the dogs and/or cats before we pet sit to learn their specific needs, and learn where the food and treats hide. Depending on the pets and the weather, we like long hikes/walks and short trips around the neighborhood. You actually receive two pet sitters with me. My spouse will be home most of the time while I'm at work. I'm also a certified pet sitter with Pet Sitters International. I'm a Vocational Specialist, and my wife and I work together when petsitting, so she's there when I'm not. We work together and it's a team business. I like to learn the current routine of your beloved pet(s) and try to keep their routine for their comfort. I make sure I learn your house rules and will not let those puppy dog eyes persuade me to let them on the couch unless you say it is ok. I have my Pet First Aid Course and am taking other courses to increase my Pet Safety knowledge.

About: I enjoy being around animals. I believe on treating your pets like family , with care and respect. I’m reliable and punctual. I will always keep the client informed. I’m a very flexible person, I can cater to the client’s needs. Preforming over nights, drop-ins for walks, or to just check in on pets. I always make a point to meet the clients before I take a job, this helps to get to know the pets and clients routine with there pets.

About: I have experience pet sitting for dogs, cats, and backyard farm animals. I also have a lot of experience with dogs of all kinds from volunteering at a shelter, competing in agility, and as a dog trainer and groomer. I have always owned multiple dogs and cats of various breeds. There is always someone home to monitor your pets. They will not be left alone. My partner works from home and if one of us needs to go to town the other will be home to watch the pets in our care. If your pet will be staying in my home they can either be kept seperate with their own room and individual outdoor trips, or if they enjoy the company of other pets they can habe supervised play time with my own pets. Either way they will get plenty of play time and walks and be sure to come home happy and ready for a nap after all the fun. If I am doing drop in visits to your home I will follow any instructions given on theit care.

About: As your Friendly Neighborhood Pet Sitter, my experience includes caring for my childhood cats: Smokey, Cuddles and Patches, and dog Jackson. My childhood animals helped build a solid foundation in learning how to be a responsible, caring, and loving pet owner. When I became an adult, my dog Jasper, and cats Tabitha and Missy helped solidify that experience. That's when I began taking on additional responsibilities of caring for the pets of family and friends. I have many wonderful memories of caring for my dad's cat Ziggy and dog Lucy. Responsibilities like feeding, grooming, exercising, and playtime of animals (especially for other people's pets) is a big responsibility. It's a job I take seriously and enjoy, but above all, these animals helped form the friendly, caring, and loving pet sitter I am today! I'm a stay-at-home mom of a son in 7th grade, so I have availability in my routine to walk, feed, and play with your pets when you are at work during the day. When I visit your home as a pet sitter, first I will be responsible and secure with any passcodes, and keys that you have entrusted in me to care for your animal. In addition, safety is my priority. Any door that I open, I will make sure is closed. Any concerns with the temperature (especially on those hot days) or any other issues with the home I will make sure I address with you. I will make sure your pet has been safe and happy since being left alone. And above all, I will play, exercise, feed, and care for your animal and give it the love and friendly attention it deserves!

About: Hello & welcome to your search for a loving caregiver for you fur babes! I am happy you are here! I am excited to meet your kiddos and have the opportunity to give them love and attention while you are away. My family has 6 dogs and has always had pets growing up! I love to take my dog everywhere I go and he is basically my son. I have previously watched pets in my home and now am looking forward to watching your pets, doing day visits, and walks to help ease your schedule and their needs. I am currently my own boss and work throught the day at my own pace and schedule. I have a flexible schedule and wide availability to be there for you and your sweet babies. I am happy to care for you pet in whatever way best suites them & you. That being said prompt feedings, walks, play time, and potty breaks are priority for me. I want your pet to be as relaxed as you are when you are away.

About: I have helped in the care of my family dog for the past roughly 12 years. In return, he has added so much joy and happiness to our lives. Even through sickness and injury, we have cared for him in the best way we could, and even late in his life, he was still as happy and energetic as he was as a puppy. I intend for Pet sitting to be an occasional source of income for the foreseeable future. Starting after the summer, I will likely be taking college classes as I work, so I will fit sitting and walks in between class hours. I have a great amount of respect for all pet owners, their pets, and their home. As I enter the house, I will be careful to not let the pets through the door. I try to make as little of a mess as possible, so as to keep the home as clean as I found it. As for the pets, I will take my time to make sure they are properly leashed before I even think about leaving the house with them. I'll be sure to get them the proper amount of exercise as required. For sitting or drop-ins, you can be sure that your dog, cat, or other animal will be safe in my care. I will be sure to feed them on time, and to provide them with the company they need during my time there. They will be let outside when needed, as needed, and all other needs will be accounted for!

About: I have taken care of small and big dogs since I was little. Our family has had a pug, as well as 3 labs throughout my lifetime. I love taking care of pets as well as exercising them! I work full-time, so evenings or weekends work best for me! If needed, I could let dog out during day during the week. I am flexible! I can take care of your part either at my place or yours. I am very active and love to take a pet along for my adventures. My labs have always appreciated this aspect!

“Brandon is an awesome pup caretaker! He brought our dog for a hike, fed him dinner, and provided a bunch of photos while we were out of town. Highly recommend! :)”

“Connie has been working with my 2 pups getting them used to walking on a leash. I appreciate her time and efforts that are making a big difference! Connie also gives them love and treats and helps in teaching good behaviour. These breaks during the day from their kennel is invaluable to me and them. Thanks for giving me that peace of mind!”

About: We are a family of 5 - mom, dad, as of 2024, a 7 year old boy, Anquan the old alphadog and Chase the young pup. (We just put our old pup down and can’t bring myself to fully change the profile yet but FYI, we just have Chase now 😥) We have grown up around dogs and had dogs of our own our whole lives. My mother-in -law bred dogs and walked in and judged dog shows, so our household has picked up a few tips and tricks for training and care. We love our pups and we will love yours too! We live in a house with a fenced yard and have a large trampoline my dogs like to sun bath on for some reason. We have grass and rocks in our backyard for your picky poopers, and when we take walks, they are down the canal and over to Papago since our street ends at the canal. We both work from home so we will be with the dogs all day, and my pups will be so happy to have new playmates. We have a young pup who will be happy to share toys and treats and tire your dogs out and we have an old man who is happy to share his couch space with your old guys. My husband started freelancing so he is happy to earn a little extra and come walk your dogs, or watch your dogs at your place as well. Up to you! We give our old man medicine so we are comfortable giving any meds that are needed, or administering special diets. Just let us know 😉🙃 FYI’s…. - We do not have any cats and will not watch cats in our home but are happy to do so in your home. - I feel for dog owners in apartments/condos, especially during the summer months, but if your dog does not know how to or won’t use the restroom on any surface but the patio, this does not work for us. Not only do we not want that on our patio but our patio is brick and the bricks are porous and stain easily. If this ends up being the case, it is our discretion to add a cleaning fee. - You are welcome to bring toys/bones as long as your pup doesn’t mind sharing and doesn’t have aggression attached to the item - You are welcome to bring toys, bed, whatever BUT you don’t have to as we have plenty to share and we are not responsible if the items gets damaged. We have two dogs and sometimes watch more than 1 dog at a time and you never know how animals will react to being in a new place with new dogs. So we can’t be responsible if a bed gets gnawed on or a toy get chewed. - All we really need is your dog food and treats. We also have treats but if your pup can have a sensitive stomach, we would rather have their treats. FYI - booking house sitting means you want us to Be at your home as much as possible with your pets and possibly sleeping over. If you just need someone to pop in to feed/walk/play - that’s is booking a “drop-in” We both work remotely and my husband only works part-time so we are always available but for exceptional situations which we will mark as unavailable. We already take care of our own 2 so we do walks first thing in the morning and after dinner. We also have a doggie door to our backyard. If we have your pups on the weekend, it’s not summer and your pup is capable, it is likely we will take a walk to the Hole In The Rock since it’s right down the canal from our house and a good distance for my kiddo and pups. But we will make sure to ask you what your pups can and can not do before doing so. Usually, the dogs are so exhausted from just playing in the yard all day that walks and hikes are last thing on their minds! I have a fenced in grass yard with a doggie door and two friendly pups to keep your pup company. I also have a little boy who loves dogs and the first thing he does when he gets home from school is play with the dogs. If we are coming to your home, your rules are your rules. We will just try to keep their schedule and structure as close to the one they are used to and it would just be one of us as someone will stay home with our pups. Happy to bring our pups over if you want a playdate while gone as well.

About: In addition to house/pet sitting, I have owned numerous dogs and cats plus hamsters, fish, chickens, and horses. I enjoy working with animals and am open to caring for most types of pets. I have previous experience with Housecarers and Trusted Housesitters and can provide copies of reviews by pet owners. I am retired so my schedule is flexible. I am physically very active and able to handle extensive walking as needed. I do occasionally travel but plan my travel months in advance so it would not interfere with any scheduled sits or pet care. I am not available to care for pets in my home. I would be available both day or night to care for or sit for pets in your home. I am a walker, so dog walking is one of my favorite activities with pets.

About: Not only have I owned and cared for pets my whole life, I have also worked at PetSmart caring for all the store animals. This included any animals in isolation due to any illnesses. I have previously cared for my aunt and step-uncle's dogs while they were away on vacation. I currently have experience with house sitting, check ins, and dog walks. Every dog I have owned has needed medication at some point, therefore I have years of experience with dog medications. I am currently working full time but I always always make time for my four legged babies. I work for the town and have plenty of time throughout the day to come check on your pet(s). When I come home I make sure to love on all my babies before I do anything else because they're my loves and I miss them all day. I currently have and care for 2 dogs and 3 cats. I feed them all breakfast and dinner, make sure they all have water, let my boy dog out when he needs to go potty (he usually will sit by the door to signal this), my girl dog stays outside while we are at work due to high energy, I clean the litter box several times a week, play with my cats (my boy dog is more low energy and prefers to sleep and be near me and my partner), and give them unconditional love because they're my babies.

About: I’ve cared for my own dog since I was 12 and babysat many friends pets! I was also a dog nanny for 3 years where I drove or flew dogs from shelters and responsible breeders all over the US to give them forever homes.

I’d love to help you out with around the clock care! As of now my apartment is a not pet friendly but I’d be more then happy to stop by your house or stay overnight to make sure your pets needs are met.

About: I’ve owned animals most of my life. I have been through the puppy training phase several times and understand adult dogs sometimes require more attention. I am willing to adjust to every pet’s needs. I'm available mostly on weekends but will make myself available more for those who need it, are in a bind or cannot find anyone else. I have a home near long trails and I myself am very active so I will be sure your pet gets all the exercise they need. I have two very friendly cats that will love to cuddle with your dog!

About: Hi there! I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have always had dogs as part of my family. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I truly love.

While I’m not a certified trainer, I have personally trained my own dogs in basic commands, fun tricks, and positive behaviors using consistency and encouragement. I understand how important routine, structure, and affection are for happy, well balanced pets. I currently have two friendly, playful dogs of my own who love making new friends. Your pet will be treated like family in my home with plenty of love, supervision, and playtime.
