Dog Walking Mountain First Avenue

About: Hi! I've had my cat Olive for 11 years and my dog Bel for 3 years. I have also taken care of close to 70 foster animals mostly kittens, with a few medical fosters, and behavioral issues along the way. I have taken courses on behavioral training for dogs as my own dog is reactive towards dogs, so I am very familiar with dog reactivity. I currently run a small 1 man business from my home and have control over my schedule to provide care to other animals regularly. I also foster other animals from time to time. My own dog is reactive and high energy and needs 3 walks a day usually with a lot of play. My cat is a large maincoon that requires a strict diet and care regimen to keep her pre-diabetes in check.

“Thanks again for meeting us for a walk ! Aiyana is the perfect pet companion . Within minutes my pups adopted her as a new best friend 🦮”

“Logan responded quickly to my request to walk my dog while I was gone over labor day weekend. Logan was easy to communicate with and my dog was very well taken care of!”

About: Growing up I’ve always had dogs in my family. However now that I’m an out-of-state student, I’ve been feeling homesick and it especially doesn’t help that I’m not around any dog love anymore. I heard about Rover through a friend and felt that this would help me with what I’ve been feeling. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! 🐾 I’m a full time student at the U of A with only morning classes, and plenty of time afterwards to have a fun playdate with your furry friend! 🐾 I’m a calm and respectful individual, who will do anything to assure you that your furry friend will be safe at all times in my care.

“Thank you!”

About: I have experience taking care of boarding dogs and cats at an animal hospital. I worked for them for a little over a year and have gotten lots of experience with dogs and cats. I used to raise puppies and train them how to sit and have manners for about two years with my parent. I have dog sitting experience and house sitting experience. I am currently going to school at the UofA full time during the weekdays (my class schedule is listed below keep reading) and would be available most days to come and play with the animals for 30 minutes to an hour in the afternoons and overnight sitting. And on weekends I would be free to play with and walk the animals as needed. Class schedule: Mon 1pm-2pm Tue 9:30am-1pm then 3pm-5pm Wed 9am-2pm then 4pm-5pm Thur 9:30am-4pm Fri 1pm-2pm I do also have a job at the animal shelter for part time. That work schedule will vary but will be no more the 4-6 hours a day. Likely to be on the weekends to avoid conflict with school :) For my personal home, I will not be able to board any pets. Although I am very safe and responsible. My person pet uses a crate just for her safety when I am gone. I am good with crate training as needed for your pets as well. I make sure I clean up after every day and leave the house as clean as I can before you arrive back home to your happy animals!

About: I worked at a boarding business for about a year and a half for dogs and cats. I worked with all different sizes and breeds, and ages of dogs and cats. My job tittle including playing and cuddling with the animals, feeding the animals, cleaning where they stayed, and giving medicine to the animals that required it. I have a little more than basic knowledge of dogs and cats health and always try to stay up to date with that. I dog sit and cat sit for friends and families regularly aswell. I have always grown up around animals and if you were to ask anyone who knows me they will say I have always wanted to work with animals since I knew what a job was. I am currently a college student and am majoring in wildlife conservation, while that's not specifically a major for cats and animals I still have and will learn a lot about those species as well!! I currently don't have a job so my schedule is really open. I work out everyday usually in the mornings to early afternoons. But I have a very flexible schedule! I have a fenced backyard just under 2acres of land. So it is very spacious for bigger dogs to run around in! I am able to walk dogs for however long.

I use positive reinforcement methods to help bring out the best in dogs, making training fun and providing structured physical and mental outlets for them. I have experience with all types of dogs, from high energy puppies to mobility challenged seniors. I have also worked with dogs of different temperaments and with specific behavioral needs. I look forward to hearing about your dog and how I can help you bring out the best version of them. I am currently going back to school so I have a flexible schedule, and it changes every few months. Please reach out to ask me about me specific availability and I will do my best to accommodate you. I am happy to provide care for your pets in their home, where they will be most comfortable. I can check in on them, provided them with food, water, potty breaks, and I am happy to hang out and keep them company if that is something you would like.

About: I have lifelong experience with dogs and a true genuine care for every animal I’ve met. I’ve been around dogs since I was very young and have cared for all kinds of breeds, from small lap dogs to large breeds with high energy levels. Having owned and raised many different dogs-several of them adopted as puppies- I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I believe the best care comes from treating every pet as an individual with their own respective personalities. I take the time to learn each owner’s preferences and follow their pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. In addition to caring for pets, I’ve also helped care for family members with special needs, which has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to stay calm and dependable in different situations. I bring that same level of compassion and responsibility to every pet I watch. My goal is simple; to give you peace of mind by providing reliable, loving care and making sure your pet feels like they’re with family until you return. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. My work schedule is Sunday through Tuesday from 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM, leaving the rest of my week and much of each day available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight care. Caring for animals fits naturally into my daily routine because I have the time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I enjoy creating a consistent routine that helps pets feel comfortable and secure, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, going on walks, playing, administering basic care, or simply spending quality time with them. I understand that life gets busy, and my goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by treating every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, responsive, and happy to accommodate most schedules, including last-minute requests whenever possible. Whether you’re at work, traveling, or just need an extra hand, I’m here to make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I am cpr certified osha 10 certified and serv safe certified proving I am both competent and qualified to handle many situations that may come.

About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of dogs, from chihuahuas to greyhounds and pit bulls! I’ve cared for young and geriatric dogs, dogs with anxiety, and have experience giving medication (oral meds and eye drops!) I’m off for the summer before school, so my schedule is flexible! I have one recurring event Saturday mornings, other than that we can figure out what works best for you and your pet! My home is not available for pets right now, but I am happy to take care of your pet in their own home! I am open to dropping in as well as staying the night to keep them company! I would like to keep their routine as steady as possible, and am happy to play with them, let them out, take them on walks, etc. as best fits their normal schedule!

About: I’ve been watching and caring for pets since I was little and have always had a love for animals. I’ve been taking care of neighbors and friends pets for years without any issues. I also have two fur babies of my own who receive plenty of walks, attention, and affection, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as well. I’m currently enrolled at the University of Arizona studying medicine, and I’ve taken several animal related classes simply because of my passion for animals. I’m a very patient, reliable, and attentive person who will treat your pet with the same care and love as my own. I’m currently a student at the University of Arizona studying medicine and im very free in the afternoons and nights to care for pets. And my schedule is free for the weekends to care for animals. I am very attentive and patient when it comes to caring for animals. I try to be observant to my dogs behaviors to see if soemthing is off and I try to keep a decently consistent schedule with feeding and potty breaks. I also make sure they have enough water especially in Arizona heat.

“Ben is reliable and great with my dog! Ben follows my requests for how Myron needs to learn to walk and Myron always comes home happy. I'm glad we found Ben, he's really helped us out with walking Myron, who has a lot of puppy energy that can be overwhelming. Ben just stays calm and makes sure Myron is following the rules.”
