Dog Walking Glendale-Heather Downs

About: I am an experienced dog sitter and lifelong cat owner with a passion for animal care and wellbeing. I am currently starting my career in zookeeping, where I'm developing my knowledge of animal welfare, enrichment, and positive reinforcement training. I even use positive reinforcement to train my own cats at home! Whether caring for dogs or cats, I strive to provide a safe, enriching, and loving environment where every pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I'm happy to accommodate a variety of scheduling needs and will do my best to work around your routine. I am detail-oriented and will carefully follow your pet's routine and any specific instructions you provide. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible by ensuring your pet receives the same attentive, loving care they're used to at home.

“I have a broken foot and cannot walk my senior dog Dusty. I was leery to hire someone I didn't know. Mark was amazing with Dusty !. He got right down on the floor to greet and play with him. He even coaxed Dusty to take a longer walk. I highly recommend him for his positive and eager approach to dogs.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience goes beyond caring for my own dogs—I have also helped care for family members’ pets by walking them, giving baths, administering medications, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to learn what makes each pet happy and comfortable. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, lots of playtime, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’ll provide the attention and care they deserve. I treat every dog as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and plenty of affection, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care throughout the week. Whether your pup needs frequent potty breaks, long walks, lots of playtime, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to accommodate their routine. My goal is to make sure every dog feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I have dogs of my own and i’m very familiar with it all. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I care for every dog the same way I care for my own by creating a safe, supervised environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I make sure any potential choking hazards or items that shouldn’t be chewed, swallowed, or played with are kept out of reach, and I never leave pets alone for extended periods of time. I pay close attention to their behavior, needs, and surroundings so they can enjoy plenty of play, love, and care while staying safe every step of the way. Along with walking, making sure they are kept hydrated and cool especially in these summer months where it can be dangerous.

“Jess was wonderful! Our dog is nervous with new people, but she took the time to get to know him and he is very comfortable with her. He was happy and relaxed after spending time with her and looked happy as a clam in all his walk photos:) She was very friendly, responsive, and great to talk to. We loved getting pics and updates from his walks. Jess will be our top choice next time and every time we are in Toledo!”

About: I’ve taken care of family & friends pets since I was young. This has included overnights & multiple day stays, quick stops to allow a potty break & play time, or just a quick walk. I have cared for dogs under 1 year of age and elders requiring close attention and medication. I follow your guidelines and instructions regarding your pets care! Ensuring your pet is well taken care of and providing you peace of mind is my top priority. I have grown up with a pet consistently in the household and have a dog myself! I am currently a law student at UT! This is my only source of income and fits into my breaks from class. I already love to go on walks and spend time with animals for a much needed mental break from schoolwork. As much as I am a source of love for your pet, they are a source for me as well! I can easily crate your pet and give medication if needed. I do not discipline unless you express that as a request. I am very patient and positive with animals. I will only enter the parts of your home where the dog is located unless told otherwise. I can simultaneously water any plants or do small house chores if you need!

About: I’ve cared for dogs for several years, including my own pets as well as dogs for family and friends. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, playtime, giving medications when needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, including energetic puppies and older dogs who need a slower pace. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine and personality so they feel safe and cared for. I understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and affection, and I’m committed to providing reliable care while keeping pet owners updated along the way. Pet care fits easily into my daily summer routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, drop-ins, and making sure pets get the attention and care they need. I’m reliable with routines like feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and check-ins, and I make sure each pet gets the time and care they’re used to. In my client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment and give them plenty of attention while their owner is away. I also send updates and photos so owners know their pet is doing well. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean space with plenty of supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise by going on walks or playing in our large gulley fenced in yard. I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for, just like they would at home.

About: Hello! I will take care of your dogs like I would want someone to take care of mine. I currently have one dog of my own, so I know how it feels to find a good, reliable, trustworthy person when you want to go out of town either planned or on a whim! I will take care of your home and send pics too! I am currently working from home, so I am pretty flexible and can spend as much time with your pets as you need to put you at ease when you aren't home with them. Trust is earned, so I would love to meet you to show you the kind of person I am and hopefully be a long time "go to" person to watch your furry kids.

As a doggy daycare employee, I've safely managed groups of dogs in daycare, supervised structured play, monitored body language to prevent conflicts, and provided individualized care based on each dog's needs and personality. I also work as a dog handler for a professional goose management company, where I handle border collies in outdoor environments while maintaining focus, safety, and reliable leash skills around wildlife, distractions, and changing conditions. This work has strengthened my confidence handling energetic working dogs in public spaces. My experience includes: - Supervising group play and monitoring canine body language - Individual walks and exercise - Feeding, fresh water, and medication support with instructions - Cleaning kennels and maintaining a safe, sanitary environment - Crate rotations and rest breaks - Reinforcing good manners with positive interactions - Caring for puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy breeds I love every dog like it is my own and am ready to take care of your loved one when needed!

I always try to keep pets on the routine they're most comfortable with. Whether I'm in your home or caring for your pet during a walk or drop-in visit, I'll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any special needs or preferences. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and relaxed while you're away. My professional experience in dog daycare has taught me to pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual personalities. Some dogs want to play nonstop, while others just want a calm companion and a good walk. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection while also keeping safety my top priority. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I have had both dogs and cats in my life and I currently have 3 cats; Olive, Theo and Addy. I look forward to getting to know your little buddies and forming a relationship that offers the fun and familiarity that matters so much when your people are away. I recently finished my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and am doing some petsitting while I look for a permanent position. I will likely keep doing it in some capacity once I find one, just because I really enjoy meeting new furry friends :) I cannot offer boarding currently, however, I am happy to visit your pets in your home or take them out for a walk. I love to give pets the attention they deserve and form a new friendship with each creature I have the privilege of caring for.

“Always super grateful for Letty. She is wonderfully attentive to Peaches and gives great updates about the walks. Peaches is always super happy when she comes over. Thank you thank you! 100% recommend”

“Lauren is awesome with my dogs. Shes always very sweet to them and notifies me if their tummies are upset. She even helped clean up a mess so I wouldn't step in it when I got home. Her and her family have been such a great help. I can't say enough positive things.”
