Dog Walking Gililland

About: I’ve had pets my entire life. My family had a two high energy dogs growing up and even from a young age I would enjoy caring for the two of them. After they passed, I volunteered at my local humane society, working mainly with dogs. When I was about 17, I convinced my family to adopt a puppy. I taught him basic commands, potty training, and basic leash skills. I currently own a cat who is equal parts sweetheart and menace. Being tasked with raising a kitten turned out to have a massive learning curve, but he is absolutely spoiled with playtime, toys, and treats. He is currently being leash trained and we’re working on anxiety associated with his crate. I am extremely flexible since I am in a hybrid program for classes, so all of my didactic/classroom work is fully online and accessible from anywhere and anytime! I do work Friday mornings from 8am-12pm and may not be available some weekends since I work every third weekend minimum. Otherwise, I’m completely flexible and will always try to work with you! I care for all pets with love and respect. The main goal is to establish trust with new pets by allowing them to approach me with interest on their own terms, even if it takes a while. Providing pets with playtime and attention is a priority after their daily basic needs are met. I believe in gentle correction or making an activity more interesting with treats or a favorite toy when a pet is acting up or disinterested.

About: I'm gonna be honest and say that I don't have any "professional experience," BUT I have pet sat and house sat for my family members multiple times when they've gone out of town, so I do have something under my belt. I have also been surrounded by a number of both cats and dogs since I was a baby, which I have had the pleasure of taking care of and growing up with. I love animals of every kind, even the mean ones, and I would love to love yours too. I'm currently a full-time student, but half of my schedule is online, which frees up a lot of my time to take care of sweet fluffy babies! (Which is what I'd rather be doing anyway, so...) Whatever is most comfortable for you and your pets is what I will roll with. I am not in the business of messing up any routines, so you just let me know exactly what you want done for your pet and it'll happen. Boom.

“Kaitlyn has been so wonderful! She gives so much attention and belly rubs to my fur ball and I always know she's well taken care of on her walks. I will definitely book again!”

“Ashley arrived promptly and followed all instructions getting into the apartment for my 14 year old madam Biba … Biba would take Ashley for her walk and Ashley was lovely to be patient, Ashley also sent photos everyday of Biba loving her early morning walks. I highly recommend her and will be using her when we get back after the summer break.”

About: I have taken care and loved animals for my entire life. I had an 18 year old pomeranian yorkie that i took care of until he passed, so I have experience with senior dogs. I also frequently take care of my friends and families puppies so I am used to handling training puppies. I work a traditional 9-5 job, but I am able to do drop in visits or board over the weekend. I do not currently have a dog, so it gives me freedom to bring dogs in to my household. I am a very passionate and attentive caretaker. I make sure I am well equipped so that the animals have a great experience staying in my home.

About: With over 10 years of experience and a lifetime of growing up around dogs, I offer loving, reliable, and personalized care. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs—whether it’s a playful puppy learning the ropes or a senior needing extra patience and comfort. I’m attentive, trustworthy, and treat every dog like part of the family. You can count on me to keep your pup happy, safe, and loved while you're away. Caring for pets is a natural part of my everyday life. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give each dog the time and attention they deserve—whether it's for morning walks, playtime, feeding, or just some cuddle time. I plan my days around the needs of the pets in my care, making sure they stay on their routine and feel comfortable and secure. For me, pet care isn’t just a task—it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, playtime, and routine. I follow feeding, walk, and medication schedules closely to keep your pet on track. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and stick to their normal routines to reduce stress. I also keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages, so you always know your furry friend is in loving hands.

“Kim was fantastic! Great communication and always punctual and consistent with my pup. I would definitely recommend hiring Kim and will plan to rebook in the future!”

About: I’ve lived with and taken care of dogs my entire life. That experience includes dogs of every size and temperament, as well as training experience with German wirehair pointers in the last few years. I recently finished up undergrad and I am working part time in the interim. This is a great way to enjoy doing one of my favorite things (hanging out with dogs), and make use of my flexible schedule. I have a smaller fenced patio as well as a near by dog park for exercise and potty breaks. I know most owners have their own way of doing things with their dog. That being said, I have no problem following any specific instructions/protocols as needed

About: I have been caring for dogs since my sophomore year of high school, gaining experience with everything from training energetic puppies to supporting the unique needs of senior dogs. I am Pet CPR certified, comfortable administering medications, and skilled at providing safe, attentive, and loving care tailored to each dog’s personality and needs. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I am currently in school and only have in-person classes Monday through Wednesday. This gives me plenty of flexibility and availability throughout the rest of the week, including weekends, to dedicate time to caring for pets and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they need. I live in a dog-friendly apartment where pets are welcome and safe, and I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in my home. When visiting clients’ homes, I am always respectful of their space and follow their routines closely. I’m also happy to accommodate extra requests, like watering plants or bringing in mail, to help give peace of mind while they’re away.

“Nice and friendly walker.”

About: I've been hosting dogs & cats through Rover.com for several years now, and it's been a tremendously rewarding experience. While I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, I have only 2 cats right now. They both like dogs, especially my leash-trained therapy cat who likes everybody. The cats are never aggressive, but a very high-energy impolite dog could get a left-hook if they're not careful. Calmer dogs used to cats are a great fit. Take your next vacation with peace of mind; knowing your pooch is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention and playtime! I have yet to have a guest that didn’t bond to me almost immediately…it’s like they can sense that I am an easy source of belly rubs and treats! While I have plenty of amateur training experience with dogs and cats, I am in the process of earning a "Good Pup" training certification through Rover, so for a limited time am offering some basic obedience training with boarding or daycare. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have about my home, experience, or schedule. I work from my home office during the week, and extra canine/feline company is always welcomed. I have a small fenced-in yard for potty breaks whenever the need arises. There's usually no problem accommodating specific daily feeding/walk schedules with some advance notice. Your furry children will be very comfortable in my North Tempe town-home, where I live alone in a conveniently located 'dog-friendly' neighborhood near Papago Park. Many of my guests drop off and pick up on the way to/from Sky Harbor Airport, which is about 15 minutes away (about 5.5 miles). I'm within walking distance of the local dog park, if that's something you & your dog are comfortable with.
