Dog Walking Drexel Park

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.

“Thomas does such a great job with both my high energy pup and her older sis! You can see the love he has for what he does. The pups are excited for his arrival every morning and ready for naps by the time he brings them back. Best decision ever 😁”

About: With three cattle dog pups of my own, I’m no stranger to high energy days, big personalities, and the occasional case of the zoomies! I’ve cared for my dogs for over four years and have even become an honorary godparent to many of my friends’ pets. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Over the years, pet care has become a natural part of my daily routine. I’m used to making time for walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day and now have the flexibility in my schedule to do a whole lot more! When I’m caring for your pets in their home, I want them to feel as comfortable and loved as they do with you. This means sticking to their usual routines, getting to know their unique personalities, what they enjoy, and all the companionship they could need. I love to keep everyone updated with lots of photos, videos, and messages through each visit to ensure the best care is being provided.

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.

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.

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: I have had pets in my care for over 30 years and now work primarily as a pet and house sitter. I prioritize a pet’s needs while their loved ones are away. I do not have pets of my own so I can be available for other's pets. I'm comfortable, experienced, and punctual with medicating both dogs and cats using a variety of methods. I have experience with animals outside of dogs and cats. Please mention in your request the additional pet and their needs. I have cared for snakes, tortoises, fish, lizards, guinea pigs, and rats so far! I work full time as a pet care giver and dog walker. I have no pets of my own as I find that way I can be more available for other's pets. I’m open to house sitting at the pet’s home overnight for multi day stays as well as coming to the pet’s home for regular walks and play sessions. I do not charge for the initial 30 minute Meet & Greet. I’m happy to meet for an extended Meet & Greet or have multiple Meet & Greets depending on your pet’s needs. Any extended or additional Meet & Greets will be booked as a drop-in visit through Rover. I am willing to travel outside of my listed parameters for an additional charge. During multi-day house sitting stays, I will typically spend the first 24 hours at the house with the pet(s) to guarantee comfortability. I am able to give regular updates to pet owners that include wellness checks, photos, videos, and FaceTime when communicated and scheduled prior. I prioritize stress free time when pets are away from home and away from their family by treating every pet with kindness, love, and respect.

About: I have a chocolate lab back home that I miss dearly, but while I'm in college I'd love to spend my free time loving and caring for your babies! I’ve been a pet person as long as I can remember. From the day I met my kitten Percy at age nine to the moment I brought home my puppy Lois, animals have been the center of my world. My passion is to now provide your pets with the same level of devotion I give my own. I've spent a great amount of time training my pets and can contribute to maintaining your training process as well. I pride myself on adaptability with each pet and their owners, catering to your pet's age and energy levels. This can vary from long walks with some running, to gentle strolls and a quiet environment. I have experience with my dog being in heat as well as older dogs that need extra care. I can also provide any medications needed for mouth, ears, or paws with treats and calmly talking to the baby. Lastly, I have experience with reactive dogs, this includes hyper awareness of our surroundings on walks and creating distance for comfort, also always carrying treats with me for positive reinforcement and a reward after walks. While I don't have a car, I'm conveniently located near a reliable shuttle to the UofA campus where I spend most of my time for classes! For non-boarding services, I ONLY accept bookings within walking distance of my home or near the UofA area. My light daily routine—usually just a class or work shift—gives me plenty of flexibility to give your pet constant attention, regular check-ins, and lots of quality cuddle time so they feel right at home with me. I live in a gated community with a large amount of pets living on the property, there's a community yard area that wraps around the buildings with many spots for dogs to do their business. I'll also be walking them around the gated neighborhood if they need longer walks. I also have a back porch leading to the yard area where I can sit with your pet to relax and spend time outside. Your pet will always be supervised if outside since we have no fence.

About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles. My experience includes administering medication, monitoring behavior and health, and providing personal care for pets of all ages. With a Fear-Free Shelter Certification, I understand how to reduce stress and create a positive experience for your pets. I am especially attentive to senior pets and will respond quickly to their needs. I pride myself on reliable communication, maintaining clean living spaces, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I work part time, so I have plenty of availability for any of your pet sitting and boarding needs. I am available for boarding Friday-Monday as early as 9am. I am flexible with my schedule so contact with any times that works for you. During the weekday after 11 am, I have open availability for any dog-walking or sitting needs. When caring for pets, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and as stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, walking, and enrichment instructions carefully. I always make sure pets are in a clean environment with fresh water. I have gated backyard open anytime for supervised playtime. I always monitor behavior, any signs of illness or injury and always communicate updates promptly to owners. I take security very seriously and make sure doors, gates, and windows are closed and locked. My goal is to provided dependable and compassion for all pets under my care so they feel safe and owners have peace of mind while they are away.

About: I have had a number of pets over the years from dogs to cats to various rodents and a couple of birds. I currently have four wonderful rescue dogs and two rescue cats. In addition to having my own pets, I've taken care of many of my friend's and family's pets while they were away, and have learned a lot about animal behaviors from volunteering for the Humane Society. I have a lot of flexibility in my daily routine. I can schedule work hours around pet care responsibilities, so I'm available to check-in on, or walk, your pet on short notice, as well as take care of your pet while you're away. I believe that the best way to lessen a pet's stress when their person isn't available is to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. Whether this means regularly scheduled walks or potty break/feeding times or spending time with them in the evenings, I would be happy to help your pet when circumstances arise that take you away from your home and pet.

“Sheila was wonderful! She helped walk two of our dogs while I was away and was great to work with. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were getting out and cared for. I would absolutely recommend her.”
