Dog Walking Cherry Avenue

About: I am a recent graduate from Colorado State University majoring in Animal Sciences and minoring in Zoology. During my time completing my undergrad I have had many opportunities taking care of dogs and cats for clients up in Northern Colorado. I am very detail oriented and attentive to my care for your fur babies. I also am known to be a great dog walker and have had some experience handling medication for cats and dogs. I’m currently going through vet tech school at Pima Community College! This semester is all online which allows me to be a bit more flexible with my schedule :) I am at your service and can be flexible with schedules throughout the week with communication! I have reliable transportation that’ll allow me to visit homes and check up on your animals during the day! Currently I am not doing any boarding in my home.

About: I'm a current dog dad and lifelong animal lover with 16 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I am a certified dog/cat handler and walker with the local Humane Society, where I actively volunteer in Tucson. I provide walking and enrichment for our furry friends awaiting adoption. Luna, my boxer, is my travel companion and my world, so your dog is in the hands that understand what they mean to you. You can rest easy knowing your loved one will get the attention of a family member, with plenty of photos and updates along the way! I'm self-employed, with a fully flexible schedule that accommodates mornings, evenings, weekends, and even last-minute scheduling. Pet care fits naturally into my day, and I'm always happy to accommodate what works best for you. I take time to actually get to know each dog and their needs before diving in. I take the time to understand their energy, body language, quirks, needs, and cues. I'm attentive, calm, and make sure every special requirement is understood and honored. Your companions won't just be cared for, they'll be comfortable and loved.

“She was very responsive and did exactly what she was supposed to do. She was even very friendly with my cat!”

“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!❤️”

“Thank you, Sydney. I appreciate meeting you in advance, your punctuality, and your excellent communication. Henry enjoyed his walk.”

About: I have cared for pets for over 20 years. I have cared for animals as big as a horse and as small as mice, and everything in between. I have owned dogs, cats, a rabbit, a ferret, a ball python and rodents. I have owned large dogs like a Rottweiler and Small ones like a chihuahua. I understand each animal has their own personality and needs to be recognized and treated as an individual to ensure their happiness. My animals are like my children and I treat everyone's pet with the same attentive care because you are trusting me with your most important possession. I am attentive to detail and very efficient in communications. Tell me what you need and I will ensure it happens. I have a fingerprint clearance card that can be provided. I work full time but have much flexibility in my scheduling. I am completely open on weekends and early mornings and evenings. If you are looking for daily services Monday through Friday between 8 am and 5 pm like walks, check-ins, clean ups or feedings and reside in 85712 I can schedule this. If you would like check-ins, clean ups, feedings, Monday through Friday after 5:00 pm and All day Saturdays and Sundays, I am available elsewhere. I am also available for boarding and overnights. I have a fenced in back yard with a large natural grass pad. I can board your animal at my home should you need. I am open to specific needs like medication, play, feeds, interactions, grooming and socialization. I provide open continuous communication as you need.

About: I've been walking, training, and caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes for over 10 years. I currently work as a zookeeper full-time. Animals are my passion and I have very high standards of care for every animal I am responsible for. I have experience with (and am actively continuing my education on) Cooperative Care and basic obedience training using positive reinforcement. I have a senior dog of my own and have had special needs dogs in the past, so I am happy to work with dogs that need a little extra care. My main availability is Tuesday-Thursday, but I can occasionally accommodate other days. Feel free to reach out and we can see what we can work out! How I care for pets is fully tailored to my client's needs. I prefer to have a meet and greet with new clients and their pets to get to know you both and go over any important details of their care. I do not feed any treats or food that are not approved ahead of time. I'm educated on signs of fatigue in dogs and am careful to not overwork the dogs in my care (especially in this summer heat).

About: Experienced animal caregiver skilled in grooming, special needs pets, daycare work, fostering, puppy deliveries, homemade treats, and providing loving, active care for all breeds and ages. As a college student with a flexible schedule and plenty of free time, I’m highly available, dependable, and ready to provide consistent, attentive pet care. As a college student and lifelong animal lover, I follow routines, provide exercise, maintain cleanliness, and give attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs.

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I am the person that always walks other people's dogs since they don't have the time for it. The well-being of pets, even those I don't own, is always something that I pay close attention to. I have taken care of my pregnant dog twice, helping her deliver and tending to newborn puppies. I have also taken care of sick dogs and dogs who recently had surgery, all of which was very demanding. I also rescued a cat from the street which currently lives with me. Right now I am in between jobs so I'm very free, which is why I'm very flexible and taking care of your pets will be my priority. There might be an occasional weekend once a month where I might be busy but that would the only conflicting issue. The rest of the time I will be very flexible and work with your needs. My home is mostly suitable for cats or small dogs that live indoors. It's a small one bedroom so it doesn't have a lot of space for boarding. For a cat, my house has cat trees, litter box, plenty of toys and everything they might need. I do have a cat, if your pet does good with other pets. I like to keep things clean.

About: I have lived with pets for more than 30 years and have experience with various types of pets. I am experienced with pets of all ages! I work near my home and can provide potty and play breaks. I also have the time to take your pet for walks or to nearby dog parks. I have a fenced yard with lots of room for your pets to play! I have three small dogs and a cat who are all very friendly. I have a crate available for any pets who prefer some alone time!

About: I’ve grown up in a household where pets are family. I believe in making all fur babies lives full of love and enrichment and commit myself everyday to being the best dog mom I can be. Having a dog of my own, I’ve already committed to 3 outings a day so bonus if you’d like our dogs to meet and they can interact. We wake up early to catch that crisp morning air, and now that summer is upon us, late night walks have become very exciting. I’m always looking for the best/safest routes and parks! My 3 year old fur baby loves the extra company. I am able to provided pet care in the clients home. I follow all instructions given to me and will always stay in communication. I never have dogs off leash outside of the home and I am trained with commands and body language.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs. Watched and cared for family pets since I was a teen. I even took great care of senior dogs. I fed and cleaned them. I have a nine year old cat that I take care of everyday. She is my priority. My schedule is open all everyday, seven days a week. I love my cat and I will love your pets. I feed and play with her and I will do the same for your fur babies.

“Very nice to my babies, they absolutely love her! Will always rebook with Miss Mea!!”

About: Hi, I’m Charlotte (Carly)! I am a remote grant writer, which means I work from home and have a flexible schedule that leaves plenty of time for walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’ve had cats my entire life and have shared the last seven years with my blue heeler, Dudley, so I’m comfortable with everything from independent felines to high energy dogs who need lots of exercise and attention. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a drop-in visit, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your routines for feeding, medication, and anything else that keeps your pet comfortable. I work an incredibly flexible, remote schedule. I set my own hours and can fit visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day, including midday breaks that are hard for many sitters to offer. When I care for your pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I will follow your house rules, clean up after every visit, and leave everything just as I found it.

About: I have fostered 8 dogs (so far!) and helped them find homes. Caring for dogs of different ages, temperaments and needs has taught me so much. I have experience with both dogs and cats (and birds and fish!). I work as a substitute teacher, giving me flexibility to take pet-sitting jobs on short notice. I am also available for overnight pet-sitting and longer house-sitting bookings. As a dog foster, I have learned to be exceptionally careful with new dogs. Respecting their space, while being friendly and encouraging. Taking extra precautions when leaving the house or letting them out into the yard. I understand that change and new people can be stressful to a dog and am careful to avoid additional stressors. I feel immense responsibility for the pets in my care, as well as other pets and people we encounter on walks. I also want the dogs to have fun and relax when we are at home. I really enjoy getting to know new dogs and hope they see me as a new friend ☺️

“Ilene was so sweet with my senior dog! She was really easy to schedule with and reliable. I highly recommend her, she really cares about the animals she works with.”

“Mikayla is very reliable and professional. Luke has enjoyed his long walks. It usually takes a few walks for him to relax with a new person walking him but he seems to have taken a quick liking to Mikayla!”

About: As a pug owner, I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your dog with kindness and patience. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and your instructions carefully, provide loving attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel connected while you’re away. I plan pet care around my work schedule so I can give each pet the time and attention they need. Please message me to discuss availability for walks and drop-in visits. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pets safe and comfortable. During walks and visits, I check that leashes and doors are secure, provide fresh water, respect your home, and send photos and updates.

“Thanks again for meeting us for a walk ! Aiyana is the perfect pet companion . Within minutes my pups adopted her as a new best friend 🦮”

About: Leaving your babies is stressful. I understand what it is like to be away from your animals. I want them to safe and feel loved. I am retired and can give them as much love and attention as needed. Both you and your pets will feel some separation anxiety but I can keep that to a minimum for all. I have the ability to keep their schedule/routine to whatever is typical - When I had pets it was very hard to leave them, so I understand what you’re dealing with emotionally as is your pet!! I’m retired from my career with the YMCA- but a young 62. So you know I’m fun 😀 and community minded. I truly enjoy walking dogs, taking them to a park if that’s their interest (on a leash). When I’m watching pets they are my #1 focus and priority. Their needs come first. I do not take a job if I can’t commit to being available the majority of the day. A meet and greet is important so we both know it’s a good fit for your animals. I do not have other animals at my house and I have a fenced yard. This is the desert, so I always do a yard check to make sure it’s “all clear” when letting a dog out. Cats would remain inside for their safety. We have a detailed conversation regarding medications, dog or people aggression, schedules so both parties are prepared.
