Dog Walking Lemmon Valley-Golden Valley

“Couldn’t be happier with Michael. Almost don’t want to write him a review because I want to keep him for myself! But seriously, he is great with my dog and a huge help for dog walks as I am currently injured. Very lucky to have him!”

About: I am a stay at home Mom of 3 kids and 1 fur-baby who has a friendly, easy-going personality. I am courteous and professional and will offer loving care to your pooch. I am reliable and dependable and don’t change my plans at the last minute. I love walking and would love to take your dog with me. I also have a large yard that is a fun place for dogs to run around and play fetch. I have one easy-going fun loving dog for your pooch to play with who is great with other dogs. I live in a great neighborhood that is great for dog walks. My kids are great with dogs too and love to help take care of them and love on them. I am available and home most of the day (usually not gone from home more than a couple of hours at one time). My pup is used to frequent potty breaks outside too. I live in a wonderfully safe neighborhood and have a good sized fenced yard. I also have a large area downstairs in my house for pups to spread out and feel at home.

About: Hi, I go by Ashton. I began working with dogs in a professional setting in 2011 in Anchorage Alaska. I received my Certificate to be a Professional Dog Trainer through Animal Behavior College and immediately began working along side seasoned obedience, behavior modification and agility trainers. After some time I was able to begin mentoring new trainers in basic obedience, teaching them how to run puppy and adult basic obedience group classes. Though my profession career began in 2011, my passion for working with dogs truly started many years before that, here in Reno,NV, when I adopted a Chow Chow named Leo. I was just a teenager and Leo had come with several severe behavioral issues. He was both human and dog aggressive, destructive, not house broken, had sever separation anxiety, ran aware regularly and was leash reactive. Despite being uneducated in dog behavior at the time, I began to do my own research and was dedicated to teaching Leo how to feel safe, happy and confident so that he would overcome his many barriers. We walked every day and I tirelessly worked toward socializing him. When I moved to Alaska, I took Leo with me, he became my practice dog and we learned dog behavior together! In no time, he was attending puppy class with me, rolling on the floor letting puppies jump all over him. He was going on walks with other leash reactive dogs, HE was the calm presence that helped other dogs see that it was all okay. Leo learned to love people and other animals, he learn to trust and because of him and everything he overcame, my heart was set on making that difference in as many lives as I possibly could. In 2024, as a single parent, I made the difficult choice to "retire" from dog training to focus on feeding other passions and traveling with my daughter. During that time I have continued to have a lovely time with my own dogs and the dogs of close family members, but I am starting to feel the ache of wanting to help again. I have decided to offer limited services related to dog walking, drop in visits, play dates, nail trims and limited bathing/grooming. (Oh, did I mention I used to be a dog foster parent, groomer and kennel tech alongside my training?) I have outline my services in more detail below; however, feel free to reach out with any questions if you don't see what you are looking for! I look forward to hearing from you :) I am offering evening walks Monday - Friday, drop in visits and extended walks on Saturdays and Sundays. Dog Daycare is available for limited hours on Sundays and will be accepted on a case by case basis. Loose leash walking training can be provided in conjunction with walks at an additional cost. Please message for details. All dogs are required to be collared with identification for walks. I will request a microchip number if they have been chipped in the event of an emergency. For your dogs safety and mine: If your dog is an extreme puller, I may request to be allowed to use tools such as an easy walk harness and sort lead. If I do not have your dogs size, I may request you purchase one.

“Wonderful with my pup and always on time.”

“We have a rambunctious lab puppy that I worried would be too much for my parents while we were out of town. My parents raved about Brianna. She walked our dog everyday for a week and he loved it and she really helped him get some energy out! We would definitely look to book her again.”

About: I've had animals my whole life but started professionally working with them about 5 years ago. My own animals are special needs, so I know what it's like to need someone to care for them. I love animals and hope to get to know yours! I'm available on Saturday, Sunday, Monday afternoon/evening and the evening on Friday! Other days I work full time at an animal clinic and go to school, so weekends are what I can do for you! I am very good at reading animal behavior and knowing how to get dogs and cats to trust (or at least tolerate) me. I also am familiar with a lot of different medicines and how important it is to administer them carefully, as I had a pet with chronic illnesses and work with them daily. I want to use my knowledge from working at the clinic to help you and your pets.

“Josh is amazing! So patient, so helpful. I couldn’t recommend him more highly. My dogs are something else and he handled them with the utmost patience and professionalism.”

About: My sister relied on me to house sit and watch her dogs for a couple of weeks every summer when I was in middle and high school. I grew up with dogs and was responsible for taking them on walks, feeding them, brushing them, bathing them, and playing with them. I am between jobs so I am quite flexible right now. I am looking to get a full-time position at which point I will update my schedule here. My cats are feral rescues so I cannot afford to bring any other animals into my home, but I am very cautious while going on walks to be very aware of other dogs (especially off leash), people driving too fast in residential areas, and making sure to bring adequate water for walks on warm days.

About: Hello! I have been taking care of pets since I was 4 years old starting with my Rottweiler and taking in a lot of cats. I have grown up raising pitbulls, pugs, german shepards and enjoy each of their unique personalities. I have been a pet groomer for 3 years and have worked at a doggy day care while going to school for nursing. I have been helping neighbors and friends with their dogs and cats when they are out of town and enjoy spending my time with new furry friends. I work as a medical assistant during the week. I have weekends fully available! Wednesdays are free as well for quick stop ins. I have 2 dogs at home and I know how much those potty breaks matter. I own 2 dogs of my own and I live in an apartment currently. It isnt the best environment, however I am always taking them outside at most every 2 hours and then making sure they go to the dog park or take a long walk each day. Having other people to help take your dogs out when you aren’t home is important, I even need the help too!

About: Growing up on a small farm has given me plenty of experiences with all kinds of animals, from dogs & cats to goats & chickens. My highest priority is making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I adapt to your pets- not the other way around. I’ve been petsitting for years and I love it so much it’s now my full time job. I enjoy organizing my schedule and making sure I can give punctual care to new and returning clients. I have lots of experience with many different kinds of animals, all with their own quirks and needs. I’m hyper vigilant about making sure cats & dogs are supervised, and creating a risk free environment for everyone’s peace of mind.

About: My childhood was surrounded by dogs. When I was 12, I had to completely take care of 4 pit bulls, a Dotson, a mixed breed medium sized dog, and 3 cats. I have watched a few friends and family's pets over the years. Before I moved here, I actually helped my cousin take care of his senior husky with low energy that needed shots for a medical condition and a 2 year old German shepherd with all the energy in the world. My foster mom also bred pugs for a living, and have had to help the momma pug give birth while my foster parents were gone. I also have a 4 year old female Black Mouth Cur named Ava, that I have had since 6 months old, and a 2 year old male pitbull terrier rescue named Bosco, that I have had for a year and counting. He is full of fear and needs a lot of patience to work through it, but after 5 months of touch and go work, he now knows what play is and has his own toys! He also is scared to eat or seems to not know what his feeding bowl is, but after different ways to show that feeding time is okay, he is slowly gaining the weight he should be at! Treats were his sweet spot for knowing it is a safe place, and my sweet Ava sped the process for getting him comfortable in his new home and now commandeers my clothing to sleep with in his bed. Due to Bosco being a rescue and has become very protective is why I can't offer in home sitting in my home but am open to dog sitting at client's homes. I am currently a new stay at home mom. I take care of my two boys and my two fur babies. I am more than ready to help others with their fur babies. Due to behavior of one of my dogs, I would not be able to comfortably care for your fur babies in my own home, but I will do the utmost care for your fur babies in your home! Give me all the rules you need followed; Outside during certain times, feeding strategies, don't sit in a certain spot or area in the home. Nothing is too much to handle! I have even taken care of dogs with potty issues and needed baths for their health care and hygiene of your home.

“We are really impressed with Sierra. She is such a wonderful addition to our family. You can really tell she loves animals, she takes care of our Duke like he is her own. She not only gives us a daily summary of their visit but also great pix of their time. Sierra is attentive & mindful. She brings in our newspaper or any packages. We highly recommend her. Thank you again Sierra🌸”

About: I grew up with a husky dog throughout my entire childhood and I am now a proud cat owner. Huskies can be particularly difficult dogs to walk, and I have been walking them for as long as I can remember. My parents considered our dog as a part of the family and always provided an abundance of love and activity. I have taken the same approach with my cats and I love every moment. I have had my older cat, Iris, for 5 years and I rescued a kitten, Aster, almost 2 months ago. My connection with the pets in my life drives my love for all of the pets that I provide care to. I love puppies and kittens, antics and all. I enjoy walking, hiking, and playing with dogs. Being a cat owner, I have a wonderful time hanging out with cats. Whether they love to play, just want pets, or even take a while to warm up to people, I’m here for it. I am most available Sunday-Thursday. Friday and Saturday can work for specific situations. Sunday: all day Monday: before 5 pm Tuesday: all day Wednesday: before 5 pm Thursday: all day Friday: before 2 pm Saturday: available for house sitting for the right situation. Send me a message and we can discuss if it’s a good fit. I absolute LOVE to play and will be good company for a dog. I am mindful, and will be sure to give them lots of potty breaks. I am also an out doors person so walks are no problem! I approach every cat slowly and allow them to make the first move. Once we break the ice, I love engaging in play with interactive toys or providing pets based off of what the cat wants.

“Cameron came way out of his way to check on my pup. 5 stars will be using again.”
