About: Have lots of experience taking care of puppies and senior pets. I know how to administer medication. I have a lot of love for animals. I am currently working full-time but do this on the side. However right now I am available full time due to vacation from work now I have a house with a backyard and it's a fenced area but the pup will be indoors treated like a loved family member now

“I was nervous about having a dog walker since my boy is a pitty and can be a bit reactive, but Christian’s confidence in walking Jax put me at ease. Jax loves his walks with Christian he gets so excited, also Christian is very good at updating me with pics and videos. Jax does this cute stretchy thing on the grass when he’s with Christian so I know Jax feels safe with him and that’s all I could ask for, for my Jax to feel safe and happy sniffing around. He really pays attention to Jax’s needs. Jax is a senior with some joint issues and Christian is very attentive and caring and always updates me if he sees any changes. Always on time and super flexible with our bookings. I definitely recommend Christian your pup will love him!”


About: With years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, I’ve become the go-to sitter for friends, family, and neighbors alike. From energetic pups to chill cats, I’m comfortable managing multiple pets at once! I often house sit for households with four or more pets at a time. I have a natural talent for making animals feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or cuddles, I’ve got it all covered with care and reliability. As a student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide attentive and reliable pet care throughout the week. I often have daytime availability for walks, feedings, and check-ins, and I’m also available for overnight stays—especially on weekends. Whether it’s a busy weekday or a weekend getaway, I can adjust to meet your pet’s needs. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is making sure they feel relaxed, safe, and loved while their owner is away. I stick closely to each pet’s routine—whether it’s mealtime, walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles—so they stay comfortable in their own environment. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, building trust with patience and affection. Whether I’m caring for a shy cat or an energetic pup, I do everything I can to make them feel secure and cared for, just like they would with their family.

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs all my life and I’m passionate about all breeds. I’ve taken care of dogs for friends, neighbors, and family, handling everything from walks and feeding to baths and playtime. I’ve also cared for senior dogs, making sure to stick to their food schedule and accommodate any special needs they may have. I’m always eager to learn more and provide loving, attentive care to every pup I meet. I currently work full-time, so I’m available for pet care on weekends only. Starting in June, I’ll have more flexibility during the week as well. I’m looking forward to spending more time with your pups as my schedule opens up! When caring for pets in your home, I always respect your space and routines. I follow any specific instructions you provide to make sure your dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m happy to keep up with feeding schedules, walks, crate training, or medication if needed. My goal is to make your pup feel right at home even when you’re away!

About: I’ve taken care and have loved dogs ever since I was a kid, I grew up with four german shepherds. Friends and family members have relied on me to take care of their fur babies 💕 I’m currently not working or going to school at the moment so my schedule is open! i’m available to walk your dogs anytime from 9am-6pm I would consult with my client on how they would prefer me to take care of their pet, and if they don’t have instructions for me then I would care for the pet the way I would care for my own dog.

About: Furry friends have been in my life since I was young till now. I have had family, friends and neighbors rely on me when their pets needed extra attention. I have had pets of my own as well and will go above and beyond to make sure they are happy! I am currently working full time and would be available for afternoons or mornings depending on my schedule but also fully open on my days off! I will be willing to accommodate to special requests a week in advanced. I have experience caring for pets indoor and outdoor. Depending on the setting, I would use any instructed safety regelations needed for the needs of your pets.

“Allen has been great already! We have a 7 mo. Old Doberman we set up for weekly walks and he’s already enjoying the time they spend together. His responses are quick and professional and he’s very easy to talk to and understands what our boy needs. We can’t wait to keep up this for the future!”


About: I grew up on a farm and had the amazing opportunity to rescue and raise different animals. I’ve had more than 25 dogs throughout my time in Arizona and we found them all loving homes. I started my pet/kid sitting job at age 9, I’m 26 now. I’ve been an animal lover since I can remember and to this day I love caring for them as if they were my own. I’m currently working part time from home so I’ve been having some extra time to myself. I want to fill it with joy , happiness and adventure and what better way of doing that than hanging out with peoples fur babies for the day. I have a fenced backyard, two beautiful and respectful dogs. I also live by the riverbed so I have a nice place to walk the fur babies. I love doing playtime and interactive games that help keeps their brains busy as well. I will also give them so much pets and love till you get back so they won’t feel lonely and miss you.

About: I’d like to consider myself the cool aunt that gets to come play while the parents are away. I love senior animals and am comfortable giving medication. I have had experience training puppies in the past and I work well with small breeds as well as most large, especially the ones that think they are teacup size. I’m good with cats as well and find their personalities fascinating. I am a self-employed hairstylist with a very flexible schedule. Which makes it easy for me to have breakfast with my animals and stop by several times a day to check up on them. My animals run my house. I work around their schedule and have found keeping a routine works best for my animals. I do allowed my animals on the furniture, but we have established boundaries like the cats have learned they’re not allowed in the kitchen and apparently Chihuahuas are to be carried at all times.

About: Animals bring me the most joy I could ask for, they’ve been apart of my life since I was a baby. My childhood dog recently passed who lived a happy and healthy life till the age of 18. She taught me more about what dogs need ( physically and emotionally ) through every stage of their life. Throughout my life dogs have gravitated towards me whether it’s because I listen to the animals or maybe they just know I earnestly want what’s best for them, we just always get along. I have experience bottle feeding young puppies and kittens I work slightly above part time. I’m self employed ( content creation ), so I set my own hours. Mainly work early morning to early afternoons and late at night. With notice I strive to be available between 10-5, so it would be perfect to pop in and check on your loved one or take him/her for a walk ( even a quick bath ). Looking to focus on doing weekdays but if I’m needed and you give me notice I could make the weekend work. I have a fenced yard. However, primarily hoping to mostly meet up and either pick up the dog for a walk or pet sit primarily

“Julio is great with dogs, as soon as my pitt saw him he liked him and that put me at ease since I will be traveling for a week. He made me feel very comfortable and my dog, I don't think I could've find a better person for this job!”
