Dog Walking Carefree

About: I have been pet sitting/dog walking for many years. My youngest has just graduated high school so I have a very free schedule. I have owned dogs and cats most of my life. I currently have an Irish Wolfhound and a small Pit Bull. I have spent many hours volunteering at the Humane Society and fostering. I am a stay at home mom in Cave Creek. My youngest has just graduated from high school so my schedule is quite free. I am available for drops in’s, walks/hikes, and overnights. I own an Irish Wolfhound and a pitbull mix. I am very active and run daily with my dogs. I am able to take dogs on long walks or hikes. I am comfortable with any size breed. I am respectful of any pet rules/schedules and follow accordingly.

“Linda was wonderful with Herbie! She was so helpful with support during our daughters grad party! Herbie took to her right away too, sensing she was a dog person! Thank you Linda!”

About: There was always an assortment of pets in the house growing up. We had several pit bulls over the years, an Aussie, and at one point 4 cats alongside him. We’ve even raised a couple of bunnies and pet mice I just couldn’t turn away from! I’ve done lots of basic puppy training and even taught my cat a few tricks. Living in an apartment at one point also entailed LOTS of walks and trips to the dog park. I’m not one to turn away from a lost animal, so I’ve rescued and returned a few pups over the years as well! In addition to my own pets, I’ve house sat and cared for the pets of work clients, helped out with neighbors, and family friends pets too. I have plenty of experience with larger breeds but I love little paws too! I currently work part time while I'm working on my business on the side which is on my own time so I'm very flexible! I love to walk in the mornings and evenings, and my longest shift on Fridays is usually 5 hours. My regular work hours: M: 9:30-1:30 T: none W: 9:30-2 Th: none F: 10-3 S: 8-11 S: none I do not offer boarding at this time, but I will be sure to follow whatever guidelines you may leave according to your pet's personal needs. You know your pet best! :)

“My Aussies love Annette. She keeps up with them and keeps them safe on their walks.”

“Suzie is amazing with one Frenchie and now double Frenchies. They are always happy when I see their photos and I’m lucky to have Suzie helping me out so I get some time to work. We all think she’s terrific.”

About: I am that girl that takes 20 minutes to leave the house because it takes me so long to say bye to my little friends. I love animals and have been around them my entire life. Grew up with little dogs and am now a cat mom. As a Realtor, my schedule changes from day to day, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra attention, I can always find time each day to care for your pet and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-loved. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of affection. I’ll also keep their space clean, administer medications if needed (with instructions), and provide regular updates with photos so you know how they’re doing. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, they’ll have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and supervised care. I always pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs to make sure they feel relaxed, secure, and loved while you’re away.

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: 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: 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: I’ve owned animals my whole life, including cats, dogs, bunnies, birds, and even turtles. So I am well rounded in my pet experience! I have owned senior animals as well and I have even taken care of animals with special needs. Pet care is a regular part of my day. I get up in the morning to feed, water and exercise my animals, and continue to do so multiple times throughout the day. I always approach new animals with caution. I’m gentle and kind and I allow them to approach me. I will ensure they get proper care and that they feel comfortable during the duration of the time that I am with them.

About: I have been pet sitting for years and have worked with a variety of different volunteer organizations caring for dogs. I also have my own little dog, Roxy, who is 13 (and a certified diva). Roxy has heart failure, anxiety, and a bad hip, so I’ve become an expert at spotting when pets need a little extra care. Whether your dog is high-energy or super shy, I am patient, attentive, and want nothing more than to make them feel comfortable and safe while you’re away from home! I am currently a college student home for the summer, and am hoping to pet sit full time. Therefore, my availability is pretty much wide open. It’s very important to me that your pets have 100% of my attention, so I will never take two jobs at once. I understand that each pet has different wants, needs, and boundaries, so I do my best to make sure that I am able to make each pet as comfortable as possible. Whether it’s sticking to a daily routine or giving them some extra attention, I promise to treat your pet(s) like my own.

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since my teenage years. Friends, neighbors, family, and clients have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, and nurture their dogs. I am currently teaching group fitness classes at EOS fitness gyms a few times per week. I am also enrolled in online Yoga certification program, so I am home most of the time and available most days of the week. I have a fenced yard and currently do not have any pets in my home. We are exploring dog fostering options. If you prefer, I can crate your dog if needed.

“Cheylee is wonderful with my momma’s boy. She is patient when he tries to walk back into the house. He does seem to know when it is walk day and will sit by the door watching for Cheylee.”

About: I have been dogsitting for my friends and family consistently for about 5 years. I have cared for corgis all the way up to great danes and have no problem spending all day with them. I can walk, feed, and bathe your pets as much as you need. I am home from college for the rest of the semester and have a lot of free time on my hands. I can care for your pet whenever you need. I will make sure your pet is happy and trusts me fully before trying to do anything with it. Your pets comfort is my number one priority.

About: Hi, I’m Keilah! If you’re looking for a reliable, energetic, and detail-oriented sitter who will keep your pup happy and healthy I’m your girl. I know how important exercise and routines are for your animals, so I make sure to provide walks and playtime. I will strictly follow all of your feeding schedule, medication needs, and house rules to ensure a seamless transition for your pet. Whether your dog is a senior who takes it slow or a puppy who needs constant supervision I’m your person. :) Im a student on summer break so I’m available to play with your pups whenever! I am studying for a big exam, so please be patient as I navigate requests. I prefer to watch your fur babies in your own home to have them in a comfortable environment. I provide long walks, enrichment with dog toys, as well as cuddles and attention.

About: Hi! I’m Joe — a lifelong dog owner and pet-care professional with over four years of hands-on experience at Partners Dog Training, where I assisted with everything from puppy fundamentals to regression cases. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, and I love helping pups feel confident, safe, and understood. Whether your dog needs daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or training support, I bring patience, structure, and a whole lot of love. My goal is to build long-term relationships with families who want a dependable, friendly caregiver they can trust year-round. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my day — it truly shapes my day. I like to start my mornings with my first walks, giving each dog a calm, positive start. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a structured walk, or checking in on a pup who needs a little extra reassurance, beginning my day with dogs sets the tone for everything else. Throughout the day, I rotate between walks, drop-ins, and daycare clients. I make sure every dog gets individual attention, because I want them to feel seen, safe, and cared for. My training background helps me keep the day steady and organized, and I use small moments — like waiting at crosswalks or giving water breaks — to reinforce good habits and build trust. Afternoons are usually when I see my long-term or repeat clients, which is one of my favorite parts of this work. It gives me time to build real relationships with the dogs and their families, and to understand each dog’s personality on a deeper level. That consistency is important to me, and I know it matters to the families I help. By the end of the day, I wrap up with any last walks or training touch-ups, making sure every pup I spent time with feels comfortable and settled before I head home. Caring for dogs isn’t just part of my routine — it’s what I’m passionate about, and I truly love ending each day knowing I made their day better. Safety is always my top priority. With four years of hands-on experience assisting at Partners Dog Training, I’ve learned how to read body language, manage different temperaments, and create a structured environment where dogs feel secure. Whether I’m on a walk, doing a drop-in, or caring for a pup in daycare, I take the time to make sure every dog is comfortable and set up for success. I’m also big on building trust — not just with the dog, but with the family behind them. I communicate clearly, follow routines closely, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that letting someone care for your pet is a big decision, and I want you to feel confident knowing your pup is with someone who genuinely cares about their well-being. Creating a calm, positive environment is part of every interaction I have. I use patience, gentle structure, and plenty of encouragement to help dogs feel relaxed and happy. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I take the time to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe every step of the way.

“Nicholas is an excellent dog walker! He was very attentive to my dog and reliable. Very detailed feed back about the walks and went above and beyond caring for my dog. Definitely recommend!”
