Dog Walking Holdeman

About: I've always had a love for animals and have spent years caring for pets of all kinds. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, and even tortoises, which have helped me become comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and care routines. Growing up, before I had pets of my own, I loved helping friends and family care for their pets whenever I had the chance, and spending time with animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy! I also have experience with younger pets. My first dog and cats were all under a year old when I got them, so I am familiar with the extra attention, patience, and care that puppies and kittens need while they're still growing and learning. As a student at ASU, I'm not able to have a pet of my own right now, which is one of the reasons I joined Rover! I really miss being around animals and would love the opportunity to care for your pets while giving them lots of attention, companionship, and affection. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always treat them like family, while making sure you feel comfortable and updated while they're in my care! 🐾 I am currently on summer break from ASU and not working another job, so I have very open availability throughout the week. I am flexible with scheduling and available most days, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and care. I am happy to work around what best fits your pet's routine and needs! I do not currently have pets of my own, but I have previous experience caring for both dogs and cats. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. With dogs, I enjoy taking them of walks and making sure they get proper exercise and stimulation. With all animals, I focus on reading their energy and making sure they feel comfortable and happy no matter what mood they're in. I always aim to treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe and cared for in any setting.

About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and have been dog sitting for family and friends since my junior year of high school. I have experience with both large breeds, like German Shepherds, and small dogs. I’ve done everything from short check-ins while owners are at work to week-long stays. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who truly cares, and I treat every dog I watch with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m currently a student at Arizona State University with classes on weekday mornings. Outside of that, I have a flexible schedule and can adjust my routine to accommodate pet care. On weekends, I usually work on school assignments, which I’m able to do from anywhere, allowing me to provide attentive and consistent care. I currently provide pet care in my client’s home to ensure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any household routines. I prioritize safety by keeping doors secured, monitoring pets closely during walks, and maintaining a clean, calm space. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.

“Teresa is a wonderful walker. My two always are happy when they return from their walk. I really appreciate her working with an early walk time.”

About: Hi! My name is Izzy, and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both cats and dogs and have spent most of my life caring for them, fostering them, and learning what they need to feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve worked professionally with animals at a vet clinic for about 6 months and at two different kennels for a total of about two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets of all personalities and needs. During this time I learned how to properly handle feeding routines, recognize when pets need bathroom breaks or litter box changes, and administer medications when needed. I’ve also fostered both cats and dogs throughout my life, which has taught me patience, compassion, and how to help animals adjust to new environments. Currently, I have a pet of my own who I absolutely adore and care for every day. Outside of pet care, I’m a fitness instructor, so I love staying active and spending time outdoors. Long walks, playtime, and getting pets moving is something I truly enjoy. But I also appreciate the quiet side of pet care—relaxing on the couch, giving pets attention, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Living with and caring for animals has shown me how important they are in our lives. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and make sure they feel happy, safe, and well taken care of while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible, which allows me to fit pet care easily into my week. I currently work part-time Thursday and Friday nights and attend school Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Outside of those times, I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime. I’m happy to stop by once or twice a day to make sure pets are cared for and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 I have two cats of my own, so I’m unable to host other pets in my home. However, I’m happy to come to your home to provide care. This can include walks and playtime for dogs, and feeding, playtime, and litter care for cats, typically twice a day. but more if needed! I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and happy in their own environment while you’re away. I can easily follow directions when it comes to something specific and i am happy to accommodate to the needs of your pet and make sure they are provided for.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter with over 7 years of experience caring for dogs through in-home sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I previously worked for a dog training business, where I learned proper leash handling, dog behavior, and positive training techniques that I continue to use while caring for every dog. I’m also certified by the Arizona Humane Society in dog care, giving me additional knowledge in safe handling and animal welfare. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including senior dogs who require daily oral medications, and I always strive to make each pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. As a graduate student and educator, I’m dependable, organized, and great at communicating. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. As a graduate student, I have a consistent schedule that allows me to provide reliable morning and evening visits throughout the week. My visits include feeding, walks or playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I may also be available for overnight stays on select weekends. I always prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine and providing dependable care you can count on. Due to my years of experience, I am able to provide your dog(s) with the attention and care that they require. Whether it be crate training, water & shade on walks, or play!

“Bella was simply wonderful. From booking through her walk and hang with Rex, she was very communicative. Her summary notes were very thorough and she provided great insight into my little guy. I would 100% book again.”

About: I’m a reliable pet caregiver based in Tempe. I have experience caring for dogs, including walking, feeding, playtime, and basic daily care. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and very safety-focused, especially with Arizona heat and hot pavement. I’m comfortable with medium and large dogs and always take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I believe good pet care means clear communication, being on time, and treating each dog with patience and respect. I’m also a certified personal trainer with a medical background, so I pay close attention to safety, hydration, movement, and signs of discomfort. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and updates with photos. I’m currently studying from home and working part-time, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I’m usually available for drop-in visits and walks during the morning, afternoon, or evening depending on the day. I’m especially careful with Arizona heat, so I prefer early morning or evening walks during the summer to keep pets safe from hot pavement and high temperatures. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and find a time that works best for feeding, walks, playtime, or check-ins. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, water, medication instructions, litter box routines, leash rules, and home entry details. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s space and routine and make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure before I leave. For dogs, I keep walks safe and controlled and avoid hot pavement during extreme Arizona heat. For cats, I move calmly and patiently, especially with shy or senior cats. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are safe and comfortable.

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 have a PRN position at a children’s hospital, so I have plenty of time to check in on your baby/babies. I work a short Monday shift from 12-4PM. I have a hybrid pharmacy schedule, so I am able to attend classes from wherever I am. 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’ve been walking dogs in my neighborhood for the past 2 years! I have experience with all types of dogs big and small, quiet or hyper, I have 2 high-energy babies at home! I work on the weekends and a lot of my classes are online, so I have plenty of time to spend playing with your pups! I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs in my home. I can easily crate, feed, or give water to your pup if needed

About: My experience caring for family pets began at 16 years old. A noteworthy pet sitting involved caring for a household with one female dog, her six newly born puppies, two adolescent dogs, and a senior dog for a week and a half. I believe this highs shows my ability to handle diverse pet household needs. Also, I have gained some experience in pet care for cats since October 2023. I work 12-hour shifts from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and every other Wednesday. I am available every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, along with every other Wednesday. I can inform you if I have that week's Wednesday off or not when you send your request. As a pet owner of a dog and a cat, I understand that each pet requires a unique approach to their daily habits and needs. I will stand by your instructions for the care of your pet(s), with the consideration I expect when others care for my own pets when I'm away. I hold no judgment over their care needs.

“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’m a friendly, calm pet walker who genuinely does this for the animals. As a vegan, I’m big on kindness and gentle, respectful care—so your dog or cat gets the comfort, patience, and attention they need. I offer dog walks and cat-friendly drop-ins, with reliable check-ins and a calm approach that helps pets feel safe. I have over a life time of love and experience for our furry friends. I am also experienced with older dogs and administering any medication needed.P.S I love plants, and if you’d like help while you’re away, I can take care of your greenery with simple watering and light checks. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your babies and care for them like my own. I’m available in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. Friendly, calm pet care for dogs and cats—walks and drop-ins. I prioritize safety, follow your routine, stay aware of the environment, and provide attentive plant care.

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up. i believe dogs need love and attention just as much as humans. I am comfortable and can work with all breeds and sizes. i love nothing more than seeing dogs happy, loved, and cared for. i know in this day and age that it’s hard to juggle work and home, so i’ll be there when you can’t! i have a dog of my own (as seen in my photos) so i fully understand how important and how meaningful it is to have a dog in your life. there is nothing i love more than animals, so if you choose me then you definitely won’t be disappointed, and will ever have to worry about your dog. I am a single mom and will be going to school for dog grooming soon, so I am looking for a flexible schedule around my school times. Our homes are our comfort, and it can be hard opening up your home to a stranger. I have always treated other people's spaces like my own, with respect.

“The best dog sitter ever!!! Honestly Trinity goes the extra mile to make your dog happy. My lab is a big boy and she can get him to play and be totally exhausted when he gets home. He has gotten used to their daily walks and waits for her everyday. When we go back to Seattle we will truly miss her! This experience has been beyond my expectations! Thanks!”

About: I’ve had my Maltipoo since I was 12 and he’s been with me through every thing even college so I understand the difficulty of finding someone you trust to watch your fur babies. He doesn’t have any eyes and hasn’t for the last 4 years so that’s an added challenge and I want to be able to provide others with quality dog watching they can trust just like I look for when hiring someone for my dog. I’ve been dog sitting for about 10 years and can provide references. I’ve been flown to different states to house and dog sit for families because they knew they could trust me. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule so it makes it easy to provide care for different schedules and needs! I have a fenced yard with a pool and considering my dog can’t see I’m typically supervising outside time and my other dog is very anxious to be alone so I am used to being there when pets are outside. My home is dog friendly considering I have 2 dogs myself, one small dog and one medium dog. Both dogs get along well with people and other dogs and have had dogs stay with us and we haven’t had issues yet!

“Elizabeth was a huge help and Calvin really appreciated the time spent with her. Thanks!”

“Lacey has been such a true, loving walker for my dog. I cannot recommend her high enough.”

About: I have my own dogs back home and have been a sitter on multiple occasions for all kinds of pets (bunnies, frogs, turtles, cats, dogs). I helped my friend when she worked at a doggy daycare and know what it is like when someone else is caring for your pets. I’m currently working part-time so I am available most days to walk dogs and watch them. I enjoy taking walks daily and don’t have pets myself so being able to walk with a purpose is something I’d enjoy. I have a fenced backyard with lots of grass, a big house for the pets to roam in, and like to keep a watchful eye at all times
