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 have always loved being around dogs and have plenty of hands on experience caring for them. I regularly pet sit for dogs in my building and take them on walks, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I also have a golden retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very comfortable with the energy, patience, and responsibility that comes with taking care of a dog. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Im currently an online student and so im usually pretty free which provides me with a lot of time to hang out with the dogs! I live in a nice apartment and my building has a pet play area that’s always empty and a place for them to run around as well as a lot of trails for long walks!

“Susi is great - very knowledgeable and great with MJ. She is punctual, provides walking map, photo and detailed feedback on the visit. I’m really happy with having her take care of MJ!”

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.

About: I've been hosting dogs & cats through Rover.com for several years now, and it's been a tremendously rewarding experience. While I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, I have only 2 cats right now. They both like dogs, especially my leash-trained therapy cat who likes everybody. The cats are never aggressive, but a very high-energy impolite dog could get a left-hook if they're not careful. Calmer dogs used to cats are a great fit. Take your next vacation with peace of mind; knowing your pooch is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention and playtime! I have yet to have a guest that didn’t bond to me almost immediately…it’s like they can sense that I am an easy source of belly rubs and treats! While I have plenty of amateur training experience with dogs and cats, I am in the process of earning a "Good Pup" training certification through Rover, so for a limited time am offering some basic obedience training with boarding or daycare. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have about my home, experience, or schedule. I work from my home office during the week, and extra canine/feline company is always welcomed. I have a small fenced-in yard for potty breaks whenever the need arises. There's usually no problem accommodating specific daily feeding/walk schedules with some advance notice. Your furry children will be very comfortable in my North Tempe town-home, where I live alone in a conveniently located 'dog-friendly' neighborhood near Papago Park. Many of my guests drop off and pick up on the way to/from Sky Harbor Airport, which is about 15 minutes away (about 5.5 miles). I'm within walking distance of the local dog park, if that's something you & your dog are comfortable with.

“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.”

“Nancy does a wonderful job walking my Lily! She’s 100% on time and is skilled at handling unexpected situations like meeting other dogs along the way. Lily can’t wait to see her again!”

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 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.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. My grandmother has trained golden retrievers year after year in things like search and rescue, and agility ever since I can remember. I've participated in the trainings as a kid, and that's when I first fell in love with animals. I can check in with your pet while you are away, and spend time with them in your absence. I can feed, exercise, and do whatever it takes to keep your pet happy while you are away. I've been using Rover for a decade now, and I love it. I'm an easy-going person who loves hiking and a good Netflix show when I'm not at work or working with Rover. I've lived in Arizona for over seven years, and I love exploring and making new animal friends. I love spending time with animals, so caring for other’s’ fits into my routine perfectly! I currently work 7-4pm in Scottsdale, so I am able to pet/house sit around those hours. I am an early morning person and I have no problem getting up early to play with you pet(s) prior to going in to work! I provide a loving an nuturing environment for your pet while you are away. When your pet is in my care, they will feel comfortable, safe, and happy.

About: Hi! I used to take my family member's dog's on walks growing up, even sitted several times. I absolutely love animals and I am more than happy to keep them company, play with them, and take them on walks or to the dog park while you're out of town! I have open availability after 2 pm, with exception on Tuesday & Wednesday (open availability), just let me know when you’ll need me and I can make something work! While I’m staying in your home, I can also do some chores around the house--get the mail, take out the trash, wash dishes, pick up poop in the backyard, etc. I will follow all instructions given for feeding, giving medication, walks, etc. I am also very happy to just hang out at your house with your pets if that's what you/they prefer. I have a full time job but I still make time to play with my roommates dog at home. I love to take dogs on walks and it also helps that this keeps me productive throughout the day. All care needs must be discussed in advance and will mostly depend on the needs of the pets and the resources offered by the family.
