About: I've been taking care of my household pets since I was about 10 years old. I love animals of all types, and I am especially partial to big dogs. Currently my schedule is very open. I do theatre in the evening, but I can be up and taking care of pets as early as is necessary. I live in an apartment that has plenty of space for all types of pets. The complex includes a dog park and enough space to give pets plenty of exercise.

“Walter's wife Gabi took extra special care of our dog Bully. We had never used Rover.com. Gabi was AMAZING and Extremely Professional!!! She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was properly cared for. Bully accidentally ran out of her food and Gabi happily bought her food as well. She always sent pictures and there was lots of communication about the visits and walks. She also took amazing care of our home. I would recommend Gabi and Walter to anyone who wants complete peace of mind while on vacation. I will only use Gabi in the future if we need a dog sitter.”


“When we needed a sitter absolutely last minute, Cathy was able to help us! She is cheerful, kind, and so gentle with my cats. Will definitely rebook with her again in the future.”


About: I have owned and cared for dogs and cats my whole life. I am a genuine animal lover but have the most experience with dogs. I grew up in a dog loving household and have learned from a very young age how to care for animals like they are family. I have also learned how to read and understand dog body language and know how to approach any dog I am meeting for the first time. I also have a gentle and patient personality and know how to approach and handle scared and anxious dogs with sensitivity. Living with a variety of dogs my whole life, I know how to handle and walk dogs of any size or personality. I currently own a stubborn, anxious, and high energy beagle and am experienced with dealing with difficult behaviors. I am excited to meet and care for your pet. I currently have a full time job teaching, so I am usually only available on weekends. However, there may be times when I can be available during the week if it's a school break or a government holiday. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I am willing to take them walking, running, or even to the park. I will do my best to make them feel comfortable and safe, and will spend my time with them doing whatever makes them happy.

About: We are a retired military family who took special care of our pets at every duty station, including overseas in Japan, Italy, and Hawaii. I'm expereinced in Click to Calm, Canine Enrichment, and Dog Walking as a volunteer with the Humane Society of Southern Arizona. I am currently working a part-time flexible schedule, so I can offer your a flexible schedule within 25 miles of my home in NE Tucson. I'm interested in meeting your family and learning more about your pet care preferences. I want to provide a personlized experience that will give you peace of mind when you trust me with your fur babies.
