Experienced, energetic caretaker
Pet care experience
I have raised dogs my entire life. I have a special place in my heart for the gentle giants. The bigger the breed, the better! Of course, all dogs tend to steal my heart. I have been a dog walker for several months and I'm looking to expand my business beyond just walking. As a former classroom teacher, I know what it's like to care for someone's whole world. I never forget your pets mean the world to you. I care for them as if they are my own and I communicate with you often providing updates and pictures. The most important thing to me is your dogs safety and happiness, as well as your peace of mind. Please rest assured your pup is being taken care of to the best of my ability.
Reviews
Dasher loves going to Arlene's house!
Arlene is such a reliable, amazing dog walker! She walks my dog Porter three days a week and always sends pictures and detailed information about her visit. She always makes sure my dog has food and water, is willing to walk or play fetch or tug with Porter, cleans him off if he gets muddy during a walk, and has been flexible to accommodate for my sometimes long hours. I always know that Porter is in great hands with Arlene!
Arlene was fantastic with my dog! She was very attentive and was able to cater her services to fit his needs and my schedule. She kept me posted with pictures and stories throughout their time together to tell me all about their adventures. Arlene went above and beyond and provided top notch service! I will definitely be booking with Arlene again in the future!!
Arlene is terrific 5 star

Information Arlene S. would like to know about your pet
I prefer giant, large, or medium breeds. I have two cats and they tend to get along better with the larger breeds. As a cat owner, I like to know if the dog I'm sitting has a propensity for chasing small animals. I also live in a community with children and other dogs so I would want to know how the dog feels about strangers. I am adaptable to the situation, but I always feel it's best to know any quirks about the sweet dog before an issue arises. We all have quirks! I just want to make sure I adapt to your pet's quirks.
A typical day
I love hiking! If your dogs are up for it, I'll take them hiking in on a day trip to Great Falls or even just around the block. Being outside is one of my true joys. I also love finding that one special toy that brings out the smile in dogs. It's so fun to play and watch their faces light up during playtime!
