Dog Walking in El Rio Acres, Tucson, AZ

About: I'm a lifelong cat owner and recently adopted a 6-year-old Newfoundland/German Shepherd mix who's the bestest boy. I'm a frequent pet sitter for my aunt's high-energy black lab, and love hiking with my pup. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or just needs a buddy while you're away, I’m happy to help. I genuinely love animals and treat every one like my own. I'm currently working part-time, so I'm available Monday-Thursday from 1:30-5pm (potentially earlier or later, depending on location), and all day Fridays (although Friday I will be working, just remotely). I have availability on weekends as needed, I'm pretty flexible. When caring for pet in your home, I treat your fur baby with the same love and attention I’d give to my own. I will follow your routines and preferences, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, litter duty, or just hanging on the couch. I always double-check doors, gates, and instructions to keep your pet safe and your home secure. Your pets will get plenty of love and attention while you're away.

“Sasha was such a wonderful dog walker and sitter for my dog Pepper! She was always on time, very communicative, and made sure to keep me updated on Pepper whenever she was in her care. I never had to worry about Pepper when Sasha was taking care of her. I will definitely be using her again and I can’t recommend her enough to take care of your dog!”

“Keva did a great job introducing herself to Mojo. He is usually very slow to warm up, but he accepted her very quickly. We have booked her for more walks!”

About: I have taken care of both puppies and adult dogs. I have a flexible schedule and can drop by more than once daily if needed! I’m retired and have an open schedule. I can do multiple visits daily if needed. I also have the flexibility to do longer visits if needed to provide socialization and comfort for your pet! I don’t have the ability to care for pets in my home, but I’m available to go to my clients’ homes as frequently as needed. My policy is to be very respectful of my client’s space while spending quality time with their pets! I can accomodate any special needs and I follow instructions well!

“Ally is very responsive and considerate. She helped with walks and check-ins for us for a few months and was a great help! She is always really good at communicating and willing to accommodate schedule/time changes as needed.”

“Logan was great! I have three dogs who can be a handful and a large dog who gets nervous around new people, but Logan handled them so well and my dogs all came back happy and tired.”

About: I've worked the past three years at a local dog grooming salon and pet supply store and am currently volunteering at a cat shelter, and I am very comfortable with pets of all sizes, breeds, and ages. Much of my previous job was spent hands-on with the dogs in the store and getting to know our customers. Additionally, I work in the medical ward of the cat shelter, giving me lots of experience with senior and disabled cats and kittens. I have experience de-escalating situations between dogs and reading dog and cat behavior. I've spent my entire life around animals, from dogs to birds to horses, and I absolutely love all of them! I am currently enrolled in night classes at cosmetology school, but I am available all day Fridays-Sundays. During weekdays, I will be available all morning, giving me plenty of time to care for pets! I have a senior dog of my own and am very patient and positive. I can easily crate most sized dogs if needed and safely lift dogs up to 45 pounds.

“Thomas has been a rock star with young Pete and advising us with our older dogs. He is training Pete to be civilized and cooperative and Pete loves himz”

About: I’ve always been that person who helps out with family pets just because I love taking care of them. A few years ago, I finally got a dog of my own, and that’s when I really got into training—learning how to communicate with her, build routines, and understand how she thinks. Now, I bring that same care and attention to every pet I watch, making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I am a college student with a flexible schedule. This means i can adjust my availability based on your pets' needs, whether it's check-ins throughout the day or last minute help. I do not do stays in my own home at the moment as my dog is not always good with other dogs/animals, but I am able to make it out to you to do care in your own home. I learn quickly, and i use this to my advantage as i learn to give each pet their best individualized care.

“She’s amazing! A huge life saver able to do a half hour cat check in and dog walks last minute after I hurt my foot. Sarah is absolutely wonderful with animals, her genuine passion and love shows in everything she does. I’d recommend her to anyone and will be using her services again!”

About: My professional RN background will allow me to take good care of your pup. I’m active and love a dog at my side. Call me. I’m retired and lost my sweet girl in Feb. I have so much love and attention to share with your dog when you can’t be there with him/her. Small, fenced yard and lots of desert “green space”all around my neighborhood. I walk daily and prefer outdoors to indoors. I appreciate good behavior. 💕

About: I grew up with dogs and have loved taking care of my family, friends’ and coworkers’ pets before I moved. I would love the opportunity to do that again! I typically work a 7 hour shift from 7am - 2pm, with occasional shorter days where I’m working for only a few hours a day I have an apartment with plenty of space for your pet to feel comfortable and safe! I love the outdoors and being active, so there will be a lot of fun walks and playtime with me

About: I've have had animals for most of my adult life. I have taken care of all of my animals for their entire lives. To me, a pet is a lifetime commitment. I had dogs when I was in a position to care for them and trained them in sit, stay, wait, come, and the necessary commands. I now have cats, 2 of the 3 are street cats that I have adopted. I also did volunteer work with wolves for 3 years. I am most comfortable with medium to large dogs, as those are what I've had the most experience with. I am semi-retired, and I am looking to fulfill a dream of my work being with animals. I play with my own cats twice a day to keep them from being bored as I feel that pets need stimulation and interaction when they are kept inside. I also administer medication to my senior cat twice a day, and feed her a special diet to help her with age related ailments. I can take care of your pets in your home. I can walk them, feed them, play with them, and be there with them for company. I can give medications if needed.

“Makenna was great with my dog Bodhi! He needed some extra walks during the day while I was away on a last-minute work trip, and she made sure that he was well exercised and cared for by the time my partner got home. So grateful for her attentiveness and flexibility!”

“Maggie did a wonderful job walking my 2 dogs. Always on time and sent me updates each day. I would definitely use her again! Thank you for taking care of my babies!”

About: I've had pets since I was a baby. My mother had a little wading pool and she used to put our pet ducklings in the water to swim with me. When I was five, I started bringing home injured animals. I've worked with everything from skunks to raptors to more common animals like dogs, cats, and horses. When I got old enough, I started volunteering for different rescue organizations. I will walk your pet frequently and give lots of cuddles. Pets are our children and soulmates. They teach us how we should be--they are angels that inhabit the earth for a short time. For important details: I only work with one client at a time so that I can supervise and care properly for your pet. I work remotely from home for a governmental organization, so I am home and available. My backyard has a 6 foot wall but no pet is left unsupervised. I do not smoke or allow others in the house when I am boarding a dog, as you do not know that person. I treat all my clients and their pets the way I’d want to be treated. As I said, I work remotely, so I am home with my dog during the day. We go to coffeehouses together to work sometimes and have plenty of playtime in the yard. She gets a really long walk at sunrise and has little ones throughout the day as well. Her happiness is my priority. I make sure she goes to her vet regularly and gets groomed, so that she can be healthy and feel her best. I have a large, walled backyard garden full of lots of places for a pet to sniff, yet it’s safe enough for them to explore. My dog does not go out there unsupervised. At sunset to night, I walk her on the leash back there to ensure predators don’t find her. She is a member of my family, and has her own special places and pillows to make her feel safe and comfortable.

“Alison has been so sweet to my 3 year old cattle dog. Shes very dependable, trustworthy, and responsible. I highly recommend her.”
