Dog Walking Old Northwest-West University

About: My family and I have owned pets since I can remember. I am currently 33 with 3 pets of my own, but have grown up with pets in the home my whole childhood. My family always had dogs and cats in our home, and additionally I owned a bearded dragon, fish, and a tortoise that I helped care for daily. Once I moved to college in 2014, I got my first pet of my own. Her name is Stella and she has been with me for the last 12 years. She has lived with me in Oregon, Texas, and now Reno. Additionally, my wife and I have a silly orange cat named Nemo, and a fun/energetic Frenchie named Comet. While living in Texas we adopted another cat with FeLV who also developed diabetes. I have experience giving insulin injections and taking blood glucose readings. I have met and cared for many of my friend’s pets of all ages and sizes and can responsibly provide all daily care for your furry babies as needed. This includes but is not limited to feeding, walking, playing, transporting, giving oral meds, and subcutaneous injections. I currently work as a teacher and have extended breaks during the fall, winter, and summer. During the school year I will have availability during afternoons and evenings for some care activities, and weekends for more. During breaks, if not traveling, and I will have a lot more flexibility daily. Update 06/08: I am currently on summer break from teaching. My weekday availability has been updated with more available times/ services. I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my 2 dogs and an indoor cat. The pets have access to the entire unit including furniture during the day and when sleeping. Our spare bedroom can be used for your pet if they are more anxious and want separation from the other animals. My dogs are crated when no one is home to supervise, and the cat has full access to the unit at all times. My pets are all friendly towards other dogs and cats. In the past when sitting for animals, I have them fall into the same routines as my animals for walking, feeding, pottying, and crating, unless specified different by the owner. When doing drop ins and house sitting, I follow all instructions left by the owner.

“I’m using crutches at the moment and needed someone to walk my dog. This was my first time using Rover; it’s been a great experience. Cat replied to my request quickly and on short notice, which I appreciated. My rescue dog, a terrier mix, is not around other people very often, but he took to Cat immediately and returned happy each of the three days that she walked him. It’s all gone so well that I have another week of walks scheduled with Cat.”

“It’s been a pleasure having Ryan take my dogs out daily. He is punctual, conscientious and communicative. My dogs took to him right away. If you’re looking for a dependable guy who’s good with dogs, Ryan is the man!”

“Cyndi (and really her entire family) have been awesome with my two little pups. I got them as rescues so they definitely have separation anxiety when I leave the house for long periods. But I can always easily tell when Cyndi has been by, as they are noticeably calmer and happier when I come home. Highly recommended!”

About: I absolutely love animals! Being a college student, it is hard to get that time with animals so I would absolutely love to care for yours! I have had dogs and been around dogs all my life. I also have cared for cats on and off as well. I genuinely will care for the well-being of your pet and will do my absolute best to meet their needs. I currently have a job and am a college student but am able to stop in between classes, and even before/after work. I would enjoy the company during my breaks! I will ensure the pets have food and water when needed, dogs will be walked at least once in my care, I will make sure specific needs are met (ie. if pets have to be fed separately, medication, etc), and they will get lots of loves!

“Brandon did a great job with our pup! Our dog absolutely loves him! We are definitely rebooting with Brandon!”

About: I have owned dogs all of my life and have cared for and taught them all the basic pet commands. I have also worked at a doggy daycare for multiple months and have been a pet parent favorite Canine Coach I’m currently a college student that has class Monday through Friday mostly in the morning with evening classes on Friday. I am available all weekends for home/pet sitting. I am able to do overnight stays on weekends as long as I can go to class in the morning. In my own home I have a Dalmatian where I take him out hourly with 2 walks and if my schedule permits a car ride to the dog park. I always check my dogs water bowls and feed him two times a day with proper spacing of eating and exercise to ensure no bloating or stomach issues. I have also taught him to use the correct restroom spot in the backyard

“Couldn’t ask for better care of my 2 large dogs.”

About: Hello, I'm Devin! I have extensive experience caring for a variety of pets, having lived with 5 dogs and 3 cats as well as other animals throughout my life. This has given me a strong understanding of their different needs, behaviors, and personalities. I've also lived with a puppy and understand how hard at times it can be to deal with them, but I also understand how fun and worth it, it is. I've also volunteered at SPCA for a summer camp where I learned how to take care of dogs and cats and be around more animals! Although pets are very important to me I must prioritize my classes, which end at the latest 2:30 pm, but after I can push aside anything else to make any cat or dog happy. I love to make a dog or cat feel happy and comfortable. I will happily play with any pet and go for walks until that dog or cat is tired, or I can just chill on the couch and relax because I know every animal, just like a human, needs some chill time too.

“Kalle did a fantastic job, great communication and punctual. My dog came back exhausted after a good long walk. She was very caring and sweet with my dog.”

Orlando M.

“Mk was a total pro! Very easy to communicate with and was able to show up for us last minute—I forgot to hit the book button and she was still able to keep our appointment! She was attentive and thorough. Couldn’t recommend more highly.”

Damien A.

“I highly recommend Diane for dog walking! She was fantastic with Ziggy, and he had an amazing time on both walks. It was wonderful to see how much he enjoyed exploring the neighborhood with her, even though they had just met. We did have a minor hiccup when Ziggy got a little too excited and ran off while she was putting on his leash, but Diane handled it incredibly well. She quickly found him and calmed him down before putting on the leash. After their adventures, Ziggy was all tuckered out! Her patience and skill truly impressed me, and I would definitely book her again!”

About: I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone who is attentive, dependable, and genuinely loving. I will treat your pet like my own while keeping you updated so you can feel comfortable while you are away. As a college student, my schedule offers plenty of flexibility for pet care throughout the week. I can plan walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays around my classes, and I will always communicate clearly about my availability. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions and maintain the routines their pet already knows. I prioritize secure doors, safe walks, proper feeding, clean spaces, and plenty of attentive playtime and affection. I will also provide regular photo updates so you know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
