Dog Walking in Kiwanis Park, Tempe, AZ

About: I love all animals and have a pretty broad experience caring for many types including cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, rodents, and fish. Most of this experience has come from caring for my own animals and either my friends or foster animals, and not as a profession. I am most experienced with cats, as I grew up with them all my life. I was a foster care volunteer for several years in Virginia before moving out here and got the opportunity to help so many cats and dogs of all ages from neonatal to senile care. Although I am not taking in neonates at the moment, I can take on any babies that are already weaned! I am a recent graduate and taking a break before continuing my education, so my schedule is very open right now! I'm a very early riser (5am) so I'm happy to do any early check-ins with your animals. I want to reassure that I am not doing this to simply do the minimum for your pet and then leave. I get so much joy from animals, and each visit will be packed with genuine love and care for your pet! I love going on hikes and will gladly take your dog(s) with me for some outside fun if that's their speed. I'll keep them entertained and mentally stimulated with some games and tricks, and of course offer all the love and pets. Being a cat owner my whole life, I am very comfortable with all types of cats, and warm up to them easily. If they're the playful type I can play with a wand, string, mouse, or any toy they have. And if they're the lazy types, we can just relax together! I don't mind cats that are a (bit) less friendly. I'm not going to take care of ferals from Rover, but I am very comfortable with navigating and caring for angrier kitties.

“Elise is a Fantastic friend to my lil pup! She is very responsible & reliable. I never have to worry when I’m gone that he is well taken care of. She takes the best pics of all their activities, and the narratives of their adventures always make me smile! After weeding through a few Rovers that didn’t work out, I’m so happy we found Elise. 🐾”

About: I have lived with animals my whole life. Because I move a lot, I do not own a pet of my own, but I watch and care for my friends' and roommates' pets as much as I can so I can get my fix. I understand the importance of trust and comfort when leaving your pet with someone. My active lifestyle allows me to keep dogs engaged with exercise, and my calm nature helps soothe more anxious or shy pets. I work during the week, and I will mainly be available to petsit during weekends: Friday night, Saturdays, and Sundays. I do occasionally work from home and can watch your fur babies on a case by case basis on weekdays! I love running, hiking, and movement. If comfortable, I would love to hike with your pup! Additionally, I am an early riser, and I can do early. morning walks or drop ins (5:00 AM-7:00 AM) everyday. For dogs, I love incorporating activities like walks, runs, and hikes into our day, providing them with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I'm always mindful of their safety, keeping an eye on weather conditions and ensuring they have access to fresh water and shade. With cats, I focus on maintaining their normal routines and giving them plenty of love and attention. Whether it's playtime with their favorite toys, brushing sessions, or just curling up for some quiet time, I make sure they feel secure and happy. In both settings, I keep communication open with the pet owners, sending updates and photos so they know their furry family members are in good hands.

“I can’t begin to explain how nice it is to have found a dog sitter I trust. Kelly was professional and adhered to all of my specific requirements I have for my pups- she was communicative (big need for me) and safe. I sometimes have a stray dogs in the neighborhood and need her to stay alert and go in the opposite direction or even pick up my dog if safety becomes an issue. She alerted me of the stray and prioritized my dog’s safety. Amazing!”

I work from home full-time and have two cats of my own, so I’m used to balancing my workday around feeding, playtime & plenty of attention for furry friends.

“Vicki is absolutely amazing! We booked her dog walking services for 3x/week. She is always punctual and a wonderful communicator. She is easy to talk to and takes great care of our dog. I could not be any happier with her services and am so thankful we found her!”

“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!”

“Kayla is the sweetest! Definitely took the time to get to know my babies and made them feel so comfortable and safe.”

About: What sets me apart is the bridge between my formal education and a decade of hands-on care. With a Bachelor’s degree focused on Animal Studies and a background in pre-veterinary tracks, I bring a clinical eye to every stay.

I treat every "little furry guy" with the same scientific care and personal affection I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am open to a high volume of bookings to meet as many new furry friends as possible! My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care during standard work weeks (Monday–Friday) and weekend evenings. Because I manage my own multi-pet household, I am already in 'pet mode' 24/7 and can easily integrate your pet’s specific routine into my daily life. I prioritize a 'safety-first' environment by conducting thorough home checks and maintaining strict supervision during outdoor play. I follow your pet's established routine to the letter to reduce stress and ensure they feel secure.

About: Animals seem to be drawn to me, and I them! I have strength to set limits and show love at the same time! They find comfort in my arms and calm surrender. It’s part of my daily life and routine! Staying active is very important to me and so walking dogs helps me and helps them in the process love to get them out and about!

About: Dogs are a girls best friend! The most difficult things to do is leave your pets. And when we do leave, we worry no matter what! The absence of a companion/owner can never be fulfilled but I assure you, your babies will be treated as kings/queens! No more stress, you can now enjoy your vacation! I am a doggie lover/owner/foster mom/volunteer, with 3 babies of my own; 2 Boxers and a Pitbull. I have also been with the Boxer Luv Rescue for 4 years; training, fostering & kennels. In addition, I have taken a number of training courses through K9 Partnership to become a certified dog handler in hopes to become a certified dog training within the near future. Big, small, I do it all! That said.... Feel free to request additional information on my end. You may contact me via email and/or cell phone at any time. Thank you :) Ashley ***RESCUE DOGS ROCK!!!*** Foster parent, certified dog handler (through K9 Partnerships), numerous training courses with kennel babies and foster babies. Kennel volunteer for Boxer Luv. Why I love dog sitting I have always been an animal lover. I grew up with black labrador retrievers and currently have 3 dogs and foster for the Boxer Luv Rescue in Phoenix. My experience administering medication Yes, not a problem at all. I typically use peanut butter or bread to administer. I work in office three days a week and home the other four days of the week. The babies always have my attention. I believe in free roaming while I’m home and make sure everyone is in a safe place when I need to run out.
