Claudine is an excellent reliable dog walker and my pup Pebbie is beyond thrilled to see her during her weekly walks!! She is very attentive to my pup and her needs. Her walks are long and just the right amount of time for my pup to burn energy. She even plays fun games to also make the walks more mentally stimulating. I cannot recommend Claudine and her services enough!

I am also available on holidays, please just let me know in advance. My dog, Arlo, is a super friendly Mini Aussie who will also keep your pup company.

About: I LOVE dogs. My dream is to buy a ton of land and have dozens of dogs running around. I've taken care of my own, my friends and family's animals, wonderful strangers who became friends ' animals, and worked with Scottsdale PD in the volunteer K9 unit. I trained dogs for many years and just have that natural way with them. I love them more than anything! I have my own business and I work from home. I set my own hours and have a flexible schedule; therefore, I am the perfect person to be available on the fly to help with your pupper! I ensure the dog has food and water and goes to the bathroom before I leave. I play with them and ensure they are safe in the home. PLUS, I like to wrap them up in their blankey or their bed before I go to make sure they are soothed and calm as you don't want to cause a big scene as you (this causes them more anxiety).

About: I have a dog and cat of my own! A small terrier mix that was found on the streets named Sofia and an orange tabby named Fin! I frequently spend time with my partners dogs which both came from shelters, so I understand that some dogs just need time and your presence. Whether it’s feedings, walks, cuddles, or just my presence for company, I am there. I’m currently a part time student so I’ll have plenty of weekday and weekend availability! Mondays - after 5 pm Tuesday - after 12 pm Wednesday - Sunday - anytime I am comfortable with crating and/or crate training if that is in the works. Whatever instructions or day-to-day things that make your pet comfortable, I am there for!

About: I bring a rare blend of structured accountability, diverse hands-on experience, and an intuitive connection with animals of all shapes and sizes. What truly sets me apart: Deep, Lifelong Experience: I have loved and cared for pets across the entire spectrum—from being a former Golden Retriever owner to adopting an elderly Tuxedo cat. Whether handling large, enthusiastic breeds or patient senior companions, I understand their unique needs. Active, Versatile Care: As an experienced dog walker, my current routine includes regularly walking a high-energy Cockapoo. I am proudly Pitbull-friendly. The Magic Touch: As a former Licensed Massage Therapist, I have the magic touch - "Tails will be-a-waggin'!" Rescue-Level Empathy: Having successfully rehabilitated my own skittish street-rescue cat, I'm good at reading subtle body language and building trust with nervous or reactive animals at their own pace. I guarantee total respect for your home security, strict adherence to your routines, and exceptional communication while you are away! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I am fully available from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM just about every day of the week for scheduled bookings. This wide window allows me to seamlessly adapt to your pet's established schedule, ensuring they get their meals, walks, and potty breaks exactly when they expect them. Because I manage my calendar carefully with a 3-day advance notice window, I am able to guarantee that when your pet is on my schedule, they receive my completely dedicated, active companionship and attentive care exactly when they need it most. My approach to pet care is rooted in deep empathy, household security, and strict adherence to an animal's natural comfort zones. • Home Security & Integrity: I treat your home with the utmost respect. This means strict double-checking of door locks, ensuring gates are securely latched during backyard play, and maintaining a calm, hazard-free environment indoors. • Routine Consistency: I follow your instructions to the letter. Whether it's morning feedings, dedicated mid-evening playtime, or ensuring the litter box is perfectly clean before bed, consistency is how I keep your pets feeling safe and secure. • Patience with Sensitive Pets: I bring a calm, grounded energy to your home. I know when to give a pet their space and when to offer affection, ensuring they always feel secure and never pressured. If your pet needs extra time to adjust to a new face, I bring a calm, patient presence that allows them to approach me whenever they feel completely comfortable.

I’ve had my own dogs before and truly enjoy seeing dogs in a loving home. I am currently in college, and all my classes are night classes. A morning and afternoon schedule will be the best fit for me to walk and do drop-ins for your beautiful pups! I will respect your home as if it were mine and keep your pet happy and comfortable, while keeping them entertained and/or relaxed in their own home.

About: I have always been involved in pet care in my home for over 15 years. I have had experience with elderly dogs and cats of my own. I have pet-sitted in my neighborhood for puppies and for breeds different from my own dogs. I will use my energy to play with your pet and hopefully decrease their energy. I have a very flexible schedule since graduating college and applying to graduate school nearby. I have lots of time and availability for stop-ins during the day or bringing study materials to a client’s home. My yard is fenced in and I can take dogs for a walk in Brookdale Park nearby. I will administer medicine and play with dogs and provide them with a cuddly environment.

Cole is a true professional who genuinely cares for dogs and animals of all kinds. From the very beginning, he has been reliable, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. My dog, Lucky, absolutely loves her walks with him and gets excited every time he arrives, which says a lot about the bond and trust he builds with the pets he cares for. Cole is caring, friendly, patient, and always brings a positive attitude. He treats every dog as if they were his own and takes the time to make sure they are comfortable, safe, and happy. As a pet owner, it gives me real peace of mind knowing Lucky is in such capable and compassionate hands. I truly appreciate the level of professionalism and genuine kindness Cole brings to his work. I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog walker to care for their cherished pet.

We recently hired Claudine as our weekly dog walker and were extremely happy with how the first week went. Our dog, Buster, is a recent adoption, and we were unsure how he would take to a new person walking him when we went back to work, but Claudine was great with him. She was patient and understanding, really taking in his needs to ensure that he felt safe and happy. We are delighted to have Claudine as part of our weekly walking routine with Buster and would highly recommend her for anyone looking into this service.

Andrea did a great job with my 2 dogs. They really liked her and she was very patient with them. It was easy to communicate with her and she gave us so many pics of the daily walks. Being able to have trust on the person that’s handling your fur babies is so rare so I’m glad we met Andrea.
