Dog Walking Holdeman

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: Hi there! I'm Selina, a young professional who has 20 years of experience in caring for pets. Be it dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, hamsters - my family always made sure to keep me busy. :) I'm an artist and have a professional camera, so if you give me your okay, I might send your pet home with some cute new pictures or a painting of them (for free of course!!) if I have the time! I have experience handling dogs of all sizes. I love and can handle any size your furbaby comes in, be it a Cane Corso or a Chihuahua. 🐾 My family also has extensive history caring for cats for years and years. I've cared for them all - the feisty introverts who prefer to be left alone, as well as the snuggly lovebugs who need cuddles every few minutes. Let me know about their personalities so I can best meet their needs! 🐈‍⬛️ Your family members will be loved on and treated as family members of my own while they're in my care. I live in an apartment, but have a private huge gated dog park within my complex, as well as access to really pretty walk areas nearby. Right down the street we have a pretty pond where my own dog and I like to go watch the fish and turtles while having a picnic. :) If your pet requires any additional care such as medicine or has special needs, that is no problem at all. I have experience handling reactive dogs as well. Just let me know what they need and I'll be able to provide! :) I work a hybrid schedule, meaning I typically work from home Monday and Friday. 💻 I can take boarding requests from Tuesday-Thursday if your pet is okay with being left alone for a few hours. I have a fenced dog park in my complex so your pup and I can have safe play time! I have a dog of my own who LOVES other dogs. If you need me to separate your dog from mine for your comfort, that is entirely possible as I have a spare room to use. My dog is currently in a training program though, so she's not home at the moment.

“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!”

About: Hi there, I’m Gloria, and I truly treat every pet like family! 🐾 I spent a year as an Animal Care & Experience Specialist at an animal shelter, so I’m happy to help with everything from feeding and cleaning to socialization and enrichment. I’ve cared for playful puppies, tiny kittens, and sweet seniors, and I’m comfortable giving medication when needed. With my master’s in Applied Psychology, I’m great at reading body language and helping shy or anxious pets feel safe and loved. Whether it’s a cuddly cat or a big, energetic Doberman-sized buddy, I’d love to give your pet lots of attention, patience, and fun. Your furry family member will be in great hands! I work two part-time jobs, so my schedule is very flexible, and I can easily make time for morning walks, midday visits, evening feeding, or last-minute requests. I’m happy to keep a consistent routine for your pet, whether that’s a daily walk, regular check-ins, or a few days of sitting while you’re away. Just let me know what works for you, and I’ll make it happen! I will give each pet plenty of attention, whether that means playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, while also respecting their boundaries and personality. I will keep food and water fresh, make sure all the windows and doors are secure. I will also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages.

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.

“Rebecca has been walking my golden doodle 1-2x a week for the last month. She has been awesome with him! Great communication and always on time.”

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I love being active with my dog—we’re always going on walks, hikes, exploring outside, or spending time at the lake. But we definitely love our chill days too. I’m patient, attentive, and pretty flexible when it comes to different personalities and routines. Whether your pet loves playing and being active or would rather relax and have their own space, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. I’m currently home full-time, which means I’m able to spend lots of time with the pets in my care. I also have my own fenced-in front yard and a large grassy area right outside for potty breaks, walks, and outdoor time. I’ll always keep you updated with plenty of photos and videos so you can see how your pet is doing. 🐾 I do pet sitting full-time, so I’m able to provide lots of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, including availability for many last-minute bookings. I focus on creating a calm, structured, and stress-free environment where pets can settle in comfortably. I pay close attention to body language, routines, and individual needs to help every pet feel secure while they’re away from home. I can easily separate pets when needed and always prioritize safe introductions, supervision, and a clean environment. I also have a fully fenced in backyard.

“Kaylie was fantastic with our dog Hazel. Hazel is typically very nervous meeting new people but Kaylie had a very calming and responsive approach and put her at ease right away. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Hello!! My name is Brooklynn and I've been watching animals since I was 14 and absolutely love it. I'm a biology graduate student which allows me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I have lots of experience with both puppies and nervous rescues, and am happy to take care of any other pets too. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets :) In addition to adult dogs, I have experience watching puppies that are currently in training. If you need a sitter who can practice training/potty skills with patience, I have to experience to help keep up those skills while you're away. And a little fun fact about me: I'm actually getting my PhD in evolutionary biology right now studying nonhuman primates. My lab also studies dog aging and social behavior. Overall I really just an am animal lover and have decided to pursue that in my career. I can't wait to come meet your pets! I'm currently a graduate student at ASU, and my schedule is very flexible. I occasionally have meetings on campus, but a lot of my work can be done from any place with wifi! When I care for dogs overnight I will stay in my clients house for the duration of their trip. This usually makes anxious animals a lot more comfortable while their owners are away, which is always important to me! If the dogs are used to being walked, I make sure to keep up with their walking schedule and get them plenty of exercise.

“Extremely friendly, caring, thorough walkers. Will absolutely be using them for recurrent services and would highly recommend them to anyone else.”

“Kristen is wonderful! She went out of her way to come meet my dog before ever taking on/accepting being a dog walker. She is now my go-to dog walker and I can’t imagine leaving him in anyone else’s hands! She’s very communicative and professional.”

Caroline S.

“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 have owned pets my whole life and have a passion for taking care of furry friends! I began sitting for friends and neighbors when I was really young and grew up helping my grandmother and aunt who both ran their own doggy daycare and sitting businesses. I am well versed in dog walking, stopping in to check on pups, and overnight stays. While I am most experienced in smaller to medium sized dogs I have watched over all types of breeds and I am confident in taking care of any dog! I currently have a part time job that only takes up about 6-7 hours a week. I am extremely flexible and available early mornings and late nights. Pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I make sure to create a clean, safe, and comfortable environment to make sure your dog feels at home. I am extremely attentive and take care instructions very seriously. I will always ensure that your dog receives the right amount of supervision, exercise, and affection!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 10 years, from walks and drop-ins to week-long overnight stays. I’m active, dependable, and passionate about giving every pet the love, attention, and care they deserve! 🐾❤️ While I am currently looking for a full-time job. I am flexible with weekly and daily schedules and just love to help out my community. I can help crate dogs if needed be instructed from you, as well I will keep a watchful eye on your pets whenever we are out or walking around. I just want to make sure your pets are having fun and safe!

About: I've lived and worked with animals most of my life. Sitting for disabled pets, dogs, turtles, cats and birds. My goal is to keep them happy so you can explore the world. When I'm with an animal, they get love and attention while I work from the couch on a hybrid schedule. (3 days in office a week) They are fed, watered, played and bathroom'd when needed. I generally will come to their house so their life is less disturbed and they can stay with the routine the family has established. Written instructions for care will be followed.

“Andrea has been great with Luna. Luna was very timid and shy when she first met Andrea and now she loves when she comes over and takes her for walks.”

Your word will actually be catered too I treat them just like they are my own pets with nothing but love cuddles and play time I am a true fur mom and take pride in so !

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Growing up, I cared for my own small dog and regularly watched family members’ and neighbors’ dogs through walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’ve also expanded my experience by volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I walk and care for dogs with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. I have delt with numerous dogs with high energy personalities or sometimes ones with bad behavior habits. I always handle situations with care and would love to wear your dog out! I genuinely love being around animals and always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m very attentive, reliable, and responsible, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, providing exercise and enrichment, or simply giving dogs lots of attention and affection. My goal is always to treat every dog like they’re my own and provide the best care possible. When visiting your fur baby I would love to take them on a walk have a good play session and give them all the attentive care they need! I have a very open availability and if I get a request enough in advance, I am willing to take off work in order to work around my client's schedule! Even if I do have work, it is part-time only for a couple of hours and can care for your furry loved ones right when I get off! With my current situation, I am only able to care for large pets such as dogs in my client’s home. I have a reliable mode of transportation meaning I can drive myself whenever needed. I have plenty of space in an extra room to care for small pets if that is the case!

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I can remember. Even various other animals such as chinchillas, bunnies, and guinea pigs! I have potty trained, crate trained, house trained, and taught tricks. While I am dedicating my time to taking care of, walking, and spending time with your animal, I would gladly take them to the dog park or picking up some sweet treats! I also have a Siberian Husky, she’s about 8 months old and loves everyone. I would gladly bring her if it is comfortable with you to be able to play with your animal. I currently volunteer at the Arizona Humane Society from 7am-10am Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and in September I will be a full time college student but I would be glad to dedicate some of my free time to hangout or walk some cuties! I am currently volunteering at the Arizona Humane Society from 7-10 am Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday’s. I also work a part time Job which is usually at night and on the weekends from 4pm -12:30am. As of September 8th, I will be a full time college student. The same days will still be available just different hours! I do live inside of an apartment, though we do have a dog park! I also have 2 dogs that LOVE to play at the park and meet everyone!

“Wonderful, caring and conscientious!”
