Dog Walking Central City

“Sherry has been great with my pitbull. Pepper can be reactive & has alot of energy for a 10 yo dog & Sherry handles her great (even runs some of her energy out when needed) Sherry is also quick to respond, which is helpful because I tend to book last minute. Thank You Sherry!”

“Megan was great at communicating and updated me on Chloe. She was on time and would definitely recommend her every time!”

About: I have years of experience dogsitting and housesitting for families with multiple dogs. From energetic Boxers to senior dogs to anxious dogs, I have the experience. I am new to Rover and typically have dogsat through family friends/word of mouth. Looking for some company during my WFH job during the week! I have a work from home job with limited meetings. I am available to hang out for longer periods than just a quick potty break or walk. Available during the day after 8 am CST and evenings. Weekends not available. Your dog will be treated with as much care and love as I treat my dog with. I am attentive and diligent with whatever your dog needs. Whether that be extra long pets or patience when your dog is sniffing on a walk, you can count on me. Experienced with older senior dogs and younger dogs that require extra watchful eyes for mischief. I always will leave your house in the same condition as it was when I arrived.

About: When you're away, you want to know your dog is happy, healthy, and cared for like family. As a Rover client myself, I know how much thought goes into finding a sitter who will truly care for your beloved pet. More than anything, I want your dog to feel genuinely loved, not just looked after. . I understand that each dog is unique, so I'll partner w/ you and build a routine around what your pup actually needs, provide individualized attention, enrichment, and a calm, structured environment. Updates and photos will be provided as often as you want, and communication will be professional and prompt. . Centrally located in downtown Phoenix, under 15 minutes from PHX airport, in a secure building complex. My home is calm, clean, and puppy-proofed, with all dog supplies, toys, grooming products, bedding, and furnishings chosen specifically for safety and hygiene. You and your dog can expect a well-maintained, hypoallergenic-conscious environment, alongside Tater Tot (my 3.5 year old, professionally trained, spunky silky terrier) and my pup adoring partner, Justin. . Meet n' Greets are encouraged, in-person or virtual (video) to make sure it's a good fit for everyone. If your pup does better one-on-one, with gentle structure, individualized attention, and endless pampering, I'd love to meet them! . Background: . Dogs, cats, horses, aquatic pets, animals big and small - if it had fur, fins, scales, or feathers, I’ve cared for them all! I have over 40 years nurturing and loving animals: training award-winning service dogs for people who have physical disabilities, raising Clydesdale draft horses in a rural Midwestern farming community, and volunteering at PAWS, Chicago's largest no-kill shelter. A close family friend's parents worked in veterinary medicine, and I spent years shadowing their practice in the office and in the countryside. Also, I frequently travel to pet sit for friends locally and cross-country, and I'll bring that same level of trust and attentiveness to your pup. . Between my own pets and the animals I grew up around, I have real, hands-on experience with puppies, seniors, rescues, special needs, terminal illness, intestinal ailments, medications, subcutaneous fluid administration, food allergies and specialized diets, training reinforcement/techniques, behavioral issues, and grooming and hygiene best practices. . I do best with puppies (AVSAB guidelines for safety and socialization), senior dogs, pups with special diets or allergies, and dogs needing extra patience or a quieter setup. Puppies get structured routines and positive reinforcement. Seniors get a slower pace and attention to mobility and medication timing. Allergies and special diets are followed exactly. For dogs with behavioral sensitivities, whether that's noise, other animals, or new environments, I adjust the pace and space to keep them comfortable rather than forcing interaction. . My pets: . My silky terriers have always been by my side, first Addi, and now Tater Tot. Addi made the journey with me from Chicago to coastal Southern California to Phoenix, and we spent those years road tripping, hiking, camping, kayaking, and exploring together. She lived a full life to 16, including managing Cushing's syndrome and eventually renal failure with consistent, attentive medical care in her final years. That experience taught me patient, individualized care, something I bring into every dog I look after. Tater Tot, now 3.5 years old, joined our family here in Arizona after Addi crossed the 🌈 bridge. I am 100% available for your pup all day long, so pet care fits naturally into my normal routine rather than being squeezed around it. Feeding, medication, and walks happen on your dog's exact schedule, not mine. Walks are timed around Phoenix heat, always in shaded areas and during the cooler parts of the day; your dog will always be walked or get outside for a potty break regardless of temperature. Between scheduled care, I'm present in the home for calm companionship, not leaving your dog alone for long stretches. For short-term stays and overnight boarding at my residence, here's what to expect. . Household members: . - My partner works remotely. Kind-natured, with years of experience caring for friends' and family's pets. He grew up with golden retrievers, goldendoodles, and other pets. - Tater Tot, our 3.5 year old silky terrier, completed private 1:1 obedience training with a professional, certified trainer. He is fully vaccinated, on tick/flea guard and preventative heartworm medication. Responds to basic commands, plays well with other dogs, and is polite around people and animals. Adaptable in new environments, walks well on a leash, comfortable in the car, and potty-pad/crate-trained. - We don't feed our pets people food due to health/diet restrictions, but let us know if yours enjoys sharing. - Vaccination and preventative med records available if you'd like to see them. . Living conditions: . -Secure 2,000 sq. ft. residence in a gated multi-unit community, single floor, clean and puppy-proofed. Bedrooms can be gated off, and there's room to setup a pen or crate in the living area. - Your dog will always be walked or go outside for potty breaks. Timing is adjusted around Phoenix heat conditions and matched to your dog's leash comfort and energy level. Getting outside requires an elevator or four flights of stairs, which I factor into scheduling. - If your pup is potty pad trained and does not wish to be walked in the extreme heat, we've created a dedicated, secure, and hygienic potty area on our balcony (3 ft railings), since we don't have an adjoining yard. - The neighborhood is dog-friendly and walkable, a mix of homes, apartments, shops, and restaurants. Hance Park is about a mile away, and if your pup is athletic, we can drive to any local Mountain Preserve for some on-leash hiking, weather permitting.

About: I have loved dogs since I met my first one as a child. I started officially pet sitting once I hit high school and I’ve been doing it part time since. I am comfortable with big, small, timid, reactive, high energy, and low energy dogs. I have yet to meet a dog that didn’t befriend me after a little patience and love from my end :) I currently have pretty open availability as I just moved to Phoenix!! First come first serve and I can usually work around your schedule as I don’t have too many commitments. I follow all rules given to me by my client and make sure to clean up all messes. I leave my clients house how (or better than) it was when I arrived.

“We are so lucky we found Alma. She has been our dog walker consistently for the three months we needed help. She makes sure our pup is taken care of and always updates us on how he is doing. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for my whole adult life, investing myself in their training and care. I have taken extensive dog behavioral and train instruction, and I’ll treat your pupper like my own! I've would love to play with your puppers and I have the flexible schedule to make it easy! Happy to board on weekends/evenings, or just walk the dog while you're at work. I don't currently have a pet of my own in my house, so your furbaby will be my priority! I don't have a yard, however, I am located a short walk from a park.

“Had a great intro this morning! Very friendly, personable and I can tell he adores dogs and animals in general very much. I’m excited for him to walk and care for Maverick!”

About: Since Childhood I’ve been caring for many animals on a farm but i’m very experienced in Dogs and Cats. Throughout High School I also volunteered at my local Humane Society. From Walking, Bathing, Potty Breaks, and Cuddles I can do it all! I also have experience in puppy and senior care as well as basic training skills. I’m currently a full-time student but will do my best to fit you into my schedule! I’m available weekdays after 4pm and all day on weekends! When I'm caring for someone's pet in their home, I always start by getting to know their routine and what makes them happy. It's all about following their owner's instructions to a T – from feeding times and amounts to their favorite toys and games. I make sure they get plenty of exercise and playtime, and of course, lots of love and attention. Cleanliness is key too, so I keep their space tidy and handle any accidents promptly. I also keep the owner updated with texts and pics!

“Anna has been coming by for check ins and walks for several months now. She ensures that my dog gets some good quality time during the day and she worked in getting my shy dog comfortable taking longer walks around the neighborhood when the weather is nice!”

About: Im a very observant person with a keen sense of anything needing attention especially in distressed animals. I have saved some Rock stars few times I own my own business and I have down time and its slow, I needed an extra side gigg so im here for the kisses My house has Two seniors and a 2yr old pup, the seniors are grumpy and the pup loves to go to work day with mom

About: As a teenager I had a pooper-scooper business in my neighborhood, with one regular client. Growing up we always had 2 dogs and I was the primary care taker. I've also watched dogs and cats while house sitting for several co-workers, including a tortoise and rabbits. I previously lived with 2 teacup yorkies and at my previous job we had an office dog (Rhodesian ridgeback) that I also cared for M-F during office hours. I like big dogs and little dogs and all sizes between. I'm usually pretty good at belly rubs and find that sweet spot that gets the leg kicking. My first dog was a border collie that we rescued from the pound. He had epilepsy and needed to take a daily pill. I could administer it with peanut butter, bread crust or sometimes dry, but often he would spit it out. That is my oral medication experience. I don't have time to give a family pet the attention it deserves so I don't have a pet of my own. I am currently living out of my van, which is not suitable for a pet, however I still love being around animals and if I can accompany your furry friends while they would otherwise be alone then that will make me happy. My previous home had cameras in the interior and exterior to monitor the pups safety. I always follow the instructions provided by the owner as they know their pet more than I do. I am a guest in the world of your pet and treat them with respect. This seems to allow most dogs to feel very comfortable around me. I take advice from trained professionals when applicable and always keep the lines of communication open.
