Dog Walking Mitchell Park West

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.

“Kaitlyn has been so wonderful! She gives so much attention and belly rubs to my fur ball and I always know she's well taken care of on her walks. I will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a day without them. I also loved and cared for a cat while growing up! Since 2018, I’ve owned and trained my Labrador, including obedience work and therapy dog certification. He enjoys daily walks and hikes with me, keeping me active and in tune with his needs. I’ve also cared for many different breeds and sizes from medium dogs to larger dogs such as a German Shepherd, Pitbull, and even a Great Dane. I would help with walks, playtime, and training. In college, I volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gave dogs exercise, socialization, and comfort while they waited for homes. I bring patience, love, and reliability to every pet I care for! While my weekday availability is limited to mornings or evenings, I’m happy to offer walks and drop-ins on weekends when you need extra support for your pets. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and home. I always make sure walks are safe and enjoyable, keeping your pets secure and happy. During drop-ins, I will carefully follow your instructions and make sure your pets’ needs are fully met. I go above and beyond to give them attention, playtime, and care so they feel happy, comfortable, and loved, and I leave your home just the way you want it.

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!

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!

“Alaina was the perfect dog walker for our pup Rosie! She always takes care to manage the environment (hot pavement etc) while making sure Rosie has a great time. Additionally she is very responsive and communicative which is much appreciated. Thanks Alaina!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats ever since I was able to be left home alone. Often times taking care of my parent’s pets, most of whom were energetic labs, over weekends while my parents were out of town. Into adulthood I’ve continued to take care of my parent’s and friend’s animals. I’ve volunteered at my hometown’s Humane Society taking care of animals from puppies and kittens to seniors. I am a responsible person who will make sure that your baby is well looked for and will provide a safe and comforting experience for them while they are in my care. I currently work part time in the evenings and weekends. Making my schedule perfect for when you need a sitter while you’re at work! I also have a few gaps a few weeks in the year where I can be more available for your pet! Not only have I pet sit before but I’ve also house sat a few times. I will treat your home with the upmost respect and can even water a few plants on top of pet care! I’m comfortable being alone with numerous pets of all sizes and will treat their space with care.

“Nancy has been walking my chihuahua Lily for over a year now and has been outstanding in every way! She is punctual, friendly, energetic, and a pleasure to work with. Lily loves their walks and does zoomies when she sees Nancy has come to get her!”

About: My experience caring for family pets began at 16 years old. A noteworthy pet sitting involved caring for a household with one female dog, her six newly born puppies, two adolescent dogs, and a senior dog for a week and a half. I believe this highs shows my ability to handle diverse pet household needs. Also, I have gained some experience in pet care for cats since October 2023. I work 12-hour shifts from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and every other Wednesday. I am available every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, along with every other Wednesday. I can inform you if I have that week's Wednesday off or not when you send your request. As a pet owner of a dog and a cat, I understand that each pet requires a unique approach to their daily habits and needs. I will stand by your instructions for the care of your pet(s), with the consideration I expect when others care for my own pets when I'm away. I hold no judgment over their care needs.

“Extremely friendly, caring, thorough walkers. Will absolutely be using them for recurrent services and would highly recommend them to anyone else.”

“Kayla is so knowledgeable, trustworthy, and such a delight. You can tell immediately that she loves animals fiercely and enjoys taking care of them. I am so grateful to have found her and she is my go to sitter/walker for our little loves. Thank you endlessly, Kayla!!”

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: Hi there, I’m actively looking to take of your fur babies! Whether it be a cat or dog I’m here to assist. I have two special needs dogs of my own so I’m familiar with needing to administer different types of medications. If you’re dog is diabetic and needs his meds at a certain time I’m your girl! My dog Finley is now diabetic so I know it can be stressful for both of you. I’m also here to just take care of puppies by letting them out when you’re at work or walking some dogs that need to get out during the day to burn off some energy! At this time I’m taking a break from the corporate life to focus on finding a career that’s more rewarding! This gives me lots of flexibility to take care of your babies! I have years of experiences not only taking care of my dog but others as well. Even the dogs that are more shy I can slowly get to warm up to me. It’s important to build a trusting relationship with them so they are excited to see me when I walk in the door cause they know I’m a safe space for them!

About: I’ve had all types of pet dogs (small, medium, large) that I’ve learned how to take care of. I have been paid to watch and clean family members dogs in the past. I am young so I am able to do more labor. I am able to give dogs oral medication, and have experience using medicinal creams on dogs. I am able to (and love to!) play with dogs to make sure they have fun. I am no squeamish with cleaning up after animal mistakes, and I can care for multiple dogs as once including puppies and seniors! I’m soon to be enrolled in college full time. I can care for pets over weekends for the full day, and Friday’s after 10 am!! Until school starts though, (August 9th) I am free every day at every time!! If needed, I can watch animals at my mom’s house which has a nice, fenced backyard to play in along with 3 others dogs and 2 cats. (Will mention, one cat is more fiesty with other animals, but i will be putting her in a separate space, and the most she could do is claw) I don’t think I would recommend my mom’s home for seniors or puppies due to an overstimulating environment and a 5 year old.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs for friends and family. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, feeding, or giving plenty of attention, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and understand the importance of following each owner’s instructions to keep their routine consistent. I am currently available any time, any day, and have a fully open schedule to provide reliable, flexible care for pets whenever they need it, including weekends and holidays. I have a 10-year-old cat at home, so I understand the importance of providing patient, attentive, and loving care. I'm experienced with daily feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and recognizing changes in a pet's behavior. I always follow each pet owner's instructions carefully to keep their pet's routine consistent and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing a safe, clean, and stress-free environment while they are in my care.

“We've been using Kathleen for a few weeks now and I'm so glad we found her. It's important to find someone you trust to have access to your home and to care for you pet. Kathy has been great with our dog, responsive in her communications, dependable, and flexible in scheduling. I highly recommend her and am happy to have her walking our precious dog.”

About: Hello!! My name is Brooklynn and I've been watching animals since I was 14 and absolutely love it. I'm a biology graduate student which allows me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I have lots of experience with both puppies and nervous rescues, and am happy to take care of any other pets too. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets :) In addition to adult dogs, I have experience watching puppies that are currently in training. If you need a sitter who can practice training/potty skills with patience, I have to experience to help keep up those skills while you're away. And a little fun fact about me: I'm actually getting my PhD in evolutionary biology right now studying nonhuman primates. My lab also studies dog aging and social behavior. Overall I really just an am animal lover and have decided to pursue that in my career. I can't wait to come meet your pets! I'm currently a graduate student at ASU, and my schedule is very flexible. I occasionally have meetings on campus, but a lot of my work can be done from any place with wifi! When I care for dogs overnight I will stay in my clients house for the duration of their trip. This usually makes anxious animals a lot more comfortable while their owners are away, which is always important to me! If the dogs are used to being walked, I make sure to keep up with their walking schedule and get them plenty of exercise.

“Wonderful, caring and conscientious!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats on the farm and own two dogs of my own. I have had each of them since they were puppies and they are now 7 and 8 years old. One of my dogs is reactive to other dogs so I understand some animals need a little extra time, love, and support to feel comfortable. I also foster kittens through a local organization. I have worked as a nurse for 10 years and have struggled to find trustworthy individuals to let my dogs out with my irregular schedule. I joined rover to help other people working odd hours have care for their pets. Since I have worked both day and night shift, I understand the need for animal care at non-traditional hours. I have also been a travel nurse and know the stress of moving to a new city and finding care. I am familiar with cats and dogs of all sizes. I abide by your preferences and will ensure your pets are taken care of in the same manner you would care for them.

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
