Dog Walking Maple-Ash

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.

“Angel is the best! He Is very responsible and cares a lot for our puppy! He loves to play and spend time with him like he’s his own dog. His compassion and education about animals Will help him become a great VET in the future. We are lucky to have Angel as our repeat sister!”

About: I'm gonna be honest and say that I don't have any "professional experience," BUT I have pet sat and house sat for my family members multiple times when they've gone out of town, so I do have something under my belt. I have also been surrounded by a number of both cats and dogs since I was a baby, which I have had the pleasure of taking care of and growing up with. I love animals of every kind, even the mean ones, and I would love to love yours too. I'm currently a full-time student, but half of my schedule is online, which frees up a lot of my time to take care of sweet fluffy babies! (Which is what I'd rather be doing anyway, so...) Whatever is most comfortable for you and your pets is what I will roll with. I am not in the business of messing up any routines, so you just let me know exactly what you want done for your pet and it'll happen. Boom.

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.

“"I can't say enough good things about susi! From our first meet-and-greet, I knew my fur baby, Azula, was in excellent hands. She sent me regular updates and photos, which totally put my mind at ease while I was away. It's clear she genuinely loves animals and goes the extra mile to make sure they're happy and comfortable. I came home to a relaxed and happy pup. I highly recommend susi to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!"”

“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.

“Yanssel goes above and beyond to ae sure my big dig is safe, loved and well taken care of. She always sends plenty if pictures and communicates very thoroughly if something seems off. Yanssel is very trustworthy around my pets and in my home alone. Would recommend 100%.”

Jasmine S.

“She has a great positive attitude and handled Hank with minimal instruction. I plan to use Kiara regularly.”

About: I’ve taken care of family friends and neighbors pets for years! I have watched every animal - from dogs and cats to lizards and snakes, and love every moment of it. I’ve always had pets at home and I love fur-babies more than anything! I have trained 3 puppies and around 5 kittens! I am currently a college student, but with my schedule, I am able for walking or check-ins almost any time of the week! Weekends are completely open besides Sundays 12-2. I always ensure that my clients homes look better than I found it! I understand everyone has a different way of raising their animals and I respect any training or specifications given to me. I am comfortable with just about anything for pets!

“Ariel did a great job walking my pup when I had to be gone for most of the day! She was punctual, and very sweet with him. I would use her again!”

Summer S.

“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’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!

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, 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!

About: Growing up my favorite summer job was always taking care of pets for my family and neighbors. Now that I’m in college and not surrounded by my usual animal community I miss it! I have special experience with senior and disabled pets from blindness and hearing issues. I have also lots of experiences in getting along with rowdy and energetic dog breeds as well. All it takes is a little extra love! I have a light class schedule this semester and am available every day except Tuesday and Thursday. I am super flexible thought the day and am an early bird. I can feed, walk, or just keep company to any pet depending on their needs. I am flexible to any temperament and understand that pets just need a little extra help when their owners aren’t there

“Loved how Jema interacted with my dogs, they love her! She is reliable and trustworthy”

About: My mom was a veterinarian, so I grew up with pets. Not only do I have a deep love for animals, like my mom, but I also have true experience caring for them. I’m free Friday-Sunday and occasionally have free days during the week. I currently work part-time and attend ASU part-time, so I’m not available for anything last minute. I always care for pets in their home the way they would be cared for by their owner to avoid causing them any stress or anxiety.
