Dog Walking Glendale

About: Animals have been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember—from growing up around my family’s German Shepherd breeding and training work, to years of rescuing and fostering both dogs and cats. I can provide continuous supervision, regular potty and play breaks, and plenty of outdoor exercise tailored to each dog's energy level and temperament. My home currently includes one calm, dog-friendly resident cat, making for a peaceful, low-stress environment where guest dogs receive focused care and affection. I have worked with senior dogs and cats as well as puppies and kittens. I am experienced with administering medications and experienced with disabled dogs. I work remotely and am home full-time with a flexible work schedule. I can provide 24/7 care for your dog or cat. I am also available for walks throughout the day and week. While boarding in my home, I am able to be available for feeding or potty breaks as needed. I am able to watch the dog or cat to see what they need when. If I am providing drop in visits or walks, my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and evenings.

“Ashley does a great job communicating and really focused on her time with my senior pup. She's becoming my regular dog walker and I look forward to all the happy pictures of my pup she sends!”

“My dog loves Hannah! She is reliable and always shows up on time! She makes sure to let me know if she uses the bathroom and is overall very good at what she dos and I highly recommend her!”

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart! I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and I was lucky enough to have a beloved dog of my own for nine wonderful years. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. Whether your furry friend is full of energy and ready for adventure, a little shy and in need of patience, or happiest curled up beside someone for cuddles, I'm happy to give them the care and attention that makes them feel comfortable and loved. I'm experienced with daily pet care, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and following special care instructions. I'm especially patient with nervous or timid animals and believe in letting them build trust at their own pace. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll treat your pets like family, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're in loving hands! I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your furry family members! Whether your pet needs companionship throughout the day, regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'm happy to accommodate their routine. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, loved, and secure while their families are away, and I'm committed to giving them the attention they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I take the time to learn each pet's individual needs and routines, from feeding schedules and fresh water to walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I'm attentive to the little details and always respectful of your home and your pet's environment. Of course, there will also be plenty of affection, attention, and cuddles! My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind.

About: Growing up, I adored the family cat and dog, and was responsible for their care throughout my teen years. Cuddles and Fidget were a bonded pair who lived long, happy lives and passed within months of each other in 2020 while I was in lockdown abroad (I’m so not over it). As an adult renter, circumstances have not yet allowed me to have a dog or cat of my own. I turned to pet sitting as a way to continue connecting with these precious creatures who have so much to teach us about stillness, acceptance and the art of living in the moment. I also love reptile friends such as snakes and geckos! My work as an artist allows me great scheduling flexibility. This gives me the freedom to check in on your pets as often as they need, and keep them company throughout the day and night. Your pets are my top priority when they are in my care. I watch pets in their own home where they feel safest and can continue their routines as uninterrupted as possible during their primary caregivers absence. I talk to them and interact with them like they are my close friends - they get to know all my secrets! Having written instructions to refer back to during the stay, which are discussed beforehand with an opportunity for questions and clarification, is extremely helpful in understanding how to provide the best care possible. Let’s schedule a time to meet and help me understand what your pet’s needs, temperament and routines are!

About: Hi! I’m Emily. 😊 And I’ve always been an animal lover. I grew up with multiple cats and dogs in my home. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets when they’ve needed help over the last thirty years or so. I have also worked at a dog kennel where I walked and bathed dogs of all sizes and breeds. And I currently volunteer for the Humane Society where I interact with animals regularly. 😌 I provide doggy daycare - not overnight care - as my cat does not tolerate it well. And I work a 9 to 5 schedule Monday through Friday and I’m fully remote so I have plenty of time to regularly take dogs outside, out into my fenced in yard or to take them for both short and longer walks. I can dog sit any day though I do volunteer for the Humane Society on Friday evenings so they don’t work for me. Also, my rate is for six hours or less and then I charge an additional $5/hour for each hour after that FYI. I have a fenced in yard and can easily crate your dog if desired. I currently have one cat who has lived with a dog in the past, though I typically separate her in what I call her upstairs “kitty apartment” anyway. 😌 I provide doggy daycare - not overnight care - as my cat does not tolerate it well.

About: I grew up with dogs, ranging from Newfoundland’s to French bulldogs so it is safe to say I have experience with all sizes of dogs. You can trust me to not only keep your dog safe, but to keep them happy and healthy. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. Would love to spend more time with animals, and can make most things work with my schedule. I am looking forward to helping keep your pet active and well cared for! I am located in the Atwood neighborhood, north east madison. I’m available for dog walking, pet check ins, and in home pet sitting if you’re away for a trip or work. Your pet will be safe and cared for with me. I prefer to care for the pets in your home as I currently am in a rental that does not allow pets. Also this will keep your pet most comfortable / in their routine.

“Thank you!”

“Hillary did an amazing job walking my shy pup and quickly won her over! In addition to being amazing with my dog, Hillary did and excellent job communicating with me about how my dog did on their walks, tactics she used to help build up my dog's confidence, and Hillary even helped clean up a potted plant that my dog had knocked over one day. I would highly recommend Hillary to anyone looking for care for their pets!”

About: Growing up my parents would not allow me to get a dog. I walked the neighbors dogs and they said that was the same as having my own. Not really. Lol. Since grade school I have watched friends and family's dogs over the course of weekends, and multiple week vacations. I have always wanted a dog but I don't have the time currently due to my career. I have two cats. Baloo the panther looking cat, and Bubba, a pure bred benegal. I have an 8 month old daughter and my fiancée is a teacher, so I need to schedule well in advance. I would love to build a client base for walking in my neighborhood. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions or concerns prior to booking. Thanks for taking the time to review my profile! I work full-time from home. Depending how far away the pet is, I could possibly check in most times of the day during the week. I would be free most weekends. I am basically looking to build a client base in my neighborhood. I have been responsible for pets my whole life. Safety is number one to me. I would treat your fur baby like my own. Ask away

“Camille really came through in a pinch! My puppy Murphy loves her! She is very polite, on time, and so much fun with my dog! I highly recommend her. I will be using her again!”

“Good with our dogs. On time and helpful to work with.”

About: Hi! I’m Madison, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for animals in both shelter and home settings. I volunteered with Shelter from the Storm Animal Rescue as a behavioral assessor, where I was trained to observe animal behavior, body language, temperament, and individual needs. I also helped write biographies for adoptable animals, which gave me even more experience getting to know animals as individuals and understanding their unique personalities. My family also fostered animals, so I’m very comfortable working with anxious, shy, fearful, or nervous pets. I understand that every animal is different, and some need extra patience and space before they feel comfortable with a new person. I pay close attention to body language, routines, comfort levels, and changes in behavior so I can meet your pet where they’re at and help them feel safe. I work a hybrid-remote job and am typically only in the office 1–2 days a week depending on my workload, which gives me a lot of flexibility with pet care. I love being able to spend extra time with pets who want companionship, playtime, enrichment, or just some good old-fashioned snuggles! My girlfriend, Alyssa, is also part of my pet-care journey as my partner in training! She is learning alongside me and may occasionally join me for pet care as she gains experience with different animals. I’ll remain the primary caregiver and point of contact throughout your booking. My goal is simple: I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll take the time to learn their routines, respect their boundaries, and give them the individual attention they deserve. I work a hybrid-remote job and am only in the office 1–2 days a week depending on my workload, which gives me a lot of flexibility with pet care and allows me to spend extra time with pets who need more human interaction, playtime, or snuggles! Alyssa works second shift on weekdays, so depending on the timing of your booking, she may also be able to help fill in and spend time with your furbabies while I’m at work. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. My background as a trained animal behavioral assessor helps me recognize signs of stress, fear, discomfort, or overstimulation and adjust my approach accordingly. I’m especially comfortable with shy or anxious animals and will never force interaction before they are ready. I prioritize safe handling, secure doors and gates, and making sure pets cannot accidentally escape. I also respect your home by keeping things clean, following your instructions, and making sure everything is as you left it when I leave. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

“Hailey did a great job! She followed our instructions, and our dog rooster seemed to love her! Definitely will use her in the future and highly recommend!”

About: I’ve owned dogs, cats, horses for years. No job is too big. I work in veterinary medicine as a technician. I am comfortable with medications, injections, subcutaneous fluids, etc. I currently work full time at Spring Harbor Animal Hospital. I am able to stop morning and evenings around work and then more on weekends! If you need services overnight I do try to check on my kitties before settling in with your pet for the night. In the client home I am very respectful of spaces and leave it as found. I will follow all rules both for myself and for your pet. Your and your pets trust, safety, and comfortableness is my number priority.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I recently lost my 2-year-old pup unexpectedly, and while I'm figuring out the right time to welcome another dog into my family, I'd love the opportunity to care for yours like my own. I've cared for many family and friends' dogs & cats, including overnight stays, with experience ranging from tiny 3 lb pups to 80 lb dogs. I also occasionally help care for my roommate's sister's three Great Danes, so I'm very comfortable around larger breeds! I raised and trained my own pup from just 3 months old, teaching her all sorts of tricks — both useful and just-for-fun! I enjoy working with dogs, keeping them mentally stimulated, and finding fun ways to engage with them. I also work in the Emergency Department, so I'm comfortable staying calm under pressure, thinking on my feet, and handling unexpected situations. I'm responsible, attentive, patient, and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, extra attention, help reinforcing training, or simply someone to keep them company, I'll do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being cared for just like one of my own! I typically work three 12-hour shifts per week, which leaves me with several days off to dedicate to pet care! When I'm not working, I love spending time outdoors walking, running, biking, and hiking. I enjoy bringing pets along for adventures when they're up for it, but I'm just as happy having a relaxing night in with a furry friend. I can easily adjust my routine to fit your pet's needs, whether that means getting outside for exercise and playtime, sticking to their usual feeding and walking schedule, or having a quiet day filled with cuddles and companionship. I genuinely enjoy having animals around and would love to make them part of my everyday routine! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority! I keep pet gates available throughout my home to help create safe spaces and separate areas when needed. On some weekends, there may also be a very friendly, laid-back mini schnauzer in the home, but I always prioritize making sure all pets are comfortable with one another and have their own space. I'm comfortable with the realities of pet ownership, including accidents, muddy paws, shedding, and the occasional mess! I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and am happy to clean up after pets as needed. I also understand the importance of following your instructions, maintaining familiar routines, keeping doors and gates secure, and being mindful of potential hazards. When caring for pets in their own homes, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own and do my best to keep your pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I want you to feel confident that both your pet and your home are in good hands while you're away!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was five years old. I’ve walked dogs since I was a child. I have had birds, gerbils, lizards, fish, cats, and dogs. My last animal companion was a rescued special needs Jindo dog from LA. I truly love all animals. I work for myself so my schedule is relatively flexible. I am available anytime with enough headway. Have car and can travel to clients. I can spend as much or as little time as your pet requires. I currently have no pets or housemates and a fenced in backyard for dogs. My house is safe and secure and situated in a quiet neighborhood. All furniture is pet friendly and accessible. Plenty of windows for cats to look out from.
