Honest, experienced, reliable.
Pet care experience
I have always been passionate about quality care for animals, this is why I went to school for Animal Science and I have pursed a professional career in veterinary medicine. I have always grown up with animals of different species, breeds, and ages. I’ve worked on multiple farms, been a dog/cat/ horse sitter, farm sitter, worked in a vet clinic as a kennel tech and now as a veterinary assistant. I was raised with shelter dogs and currently have two rescue dogs of my own so I have experience with some behavioral problems and a ton of patience. I believe in fear-free handling and positive reinforcement. I am reliable, trustworthy, punctual, honest, dedicated, and very detailed oriented. I love getting to know animals and their personalities and providing the best quality care for the individual pet. Just recently moved to the area so I have a ton of time to take care and play with your pet! I am available during the week Monday- Friday at most any time needed. Occasionally may be available on the weekend. Not currently offering pet sitting services in my home, although I do have a fully fenced yard. Typically, if I am doing a drop in service, I ask what each specific pet needs (medication, activity, quality time) and the expectations of the owner. If only doing a drop in visit, I will let the pet out to use the restroom, refill waters, play with the pet, mid day feeding or treats as directed, make sure the area where the pet is has been cleaned up if any mess, and then one more potty break before leaving.
Reviews
Walden was very attentive and caring to my pup! I appreciated her and would trust her again!
Walden is amazing! She has done visits for our 3 dogs and a foster puppy. They all love her and get super excited every time they see her. She is patient with our anxious dog and is very knowledgeable. Great experience from the first contact with her on- I would recommend her for all dogs, including puppies, anxious, and special needs!
Walden is hands down the most caring and attentive person with all animals. She has a huge depth of knowledge in both small and large breed animals being a veterinary technician and having dogs of her own. She will treat your pets with the utmost love and affection and treat them as if they were her own. She is an animal lover through and through. You could not ask for a better person to walk or take care of your pets. You will not go wrong choosing Walden for your pets. If you want to be impressed hire Walden.
I worked with Walden for a year as a Veterinary Animal Health Assistant. Walden is an incredible animal caretaker. Her passion for animals paired with her abundant knowledge makes her the best candidate to look after your fur babies! She has always goes above and beyond, and her communication is with clients is stellar. I would trust Walden to walk or watch my pets any time! She’s proved time and time again that she will look after your pets like her own.

I have 2 dog friendly dogs and a large fenced yard but currently do not offer at home sitting in my house. Typically if I do a at home visit for a client, I will ask the pets needs and clients expectations. I then will come let the pet outside for a potty break, play with the pet, refill water, clean any mess (if one occurred), mid day feed/ treats and then the last potty break before leaving. If it’s a walk, I will ask specifically about any health or behavioral concerns. Depending on the pets needs, what type of walk- active, relaxed, slow paced, smells, some basic commands while on a walk, etc. During our walk, I will have treats, water, towel and of course poop bags. I will send pics, videos and updates about how the adventure went. Once the walk is completed, I will make sure the dog is all set inside with water before heading out.
Information Walden S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if any important medical history, allergies, behavioral issues (reactivity, anxiety, or aggression towards people/animals). Also, if the pet needs any medication during the visit.
A typical day
I love really adjusting to the specific pet’s needs. If the pet is high energy, I will try to engage them physically and mentally with active games, walks, smells and basic training. If the dog is older, physically unable to go long distance or just does not enjoy walking, I will still engage them other ways that they can enjoy and be comfortable. If it’s too hot (unsafe for long walks) or raining, I know many different activities to entertain them- also, I love just hanging out with them so they don’t feel alone.
