Dog Walking Optimist Park Nw

“Danielle was awesome with my dog during the month that she walked him. She responded to my messages right away and set up a meet-and-greet so we could talk with her in person. My dog seemed to love her during the meet-and-greet. She sent us updates every day that included pictures and a map of where she walked him and how far the walk was. I would definitely recommend Danielle! ?”

“Kathy is super responsive and very friendly! We had her take our frenchie for a walk yesterday and now have her booked for multiple walks next week! She put our mind at ease (first time Rover users) seeing how much she loves dogs.”

About: I grew up in a home that always had multiple animals. As an adult I opted for the ease of a cat companion. So I have never lived in a house without at least a dog or a cat. I have provided multiple pet services for friends, neighbors, and aquaintances including pet sitting, dog walking, drop-ins, and even picking up dog poo. I have experience in medication and emergency vet visits. I work mostly remote and some days go out on work appointments. Due to Arizona heat I can do walks from 7-9 AM and 6-8 PM. Drop-ins, I can do 7-10 and 3-9. I will speak to you about your pets normal day of activities. I follow the set feeding schedule and serve only owner approved pet food.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kristen was amazing with Sterling! She was kind, communicative, and totally in tune with his quirks. I loved getting photo updates, and it was clear she treated him like her own. He came back happy and relaxed. I’d book her again in a heartbeat!”

About: Hi, I’m Olivia! I am a physical therapist, avid dog lover, and dog mom of two 🙂 I understand how important it is for owners to trust that their dog will be in good hands while away, so I promise to treat yours with the love and care that they deserve. I have an unconditional love for dogs and I have provided care for different dog breeds/sizes/needs for years. I have two dogs of my own, Niko and Sully — they are both playful friendly boys and love having other buddies to play with! I am usually flexible with bookings and can often accommodate last-minute requests. If you have any other questions or would like to set up a meet & greet, please feel free to message me. I’d love to help out in any way that I can! Currently working in a flexible role and my schedule does vary at times, but I will discuss my current schedule and availability with you before each booking! I live in a home located in Mesa, where we have a spacious enclosed yard, with nearby trails and several dog parks in the area.

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.

About: I know how scary it is to entrust others with your pets, especially if you are like me and have an anxious/reactive pet. I volunteer with a local shelter, and they've taught me so much when it comes to minimizing stress in animals as much as possible. I will treat your pets like I treat my own, with a focus on comfort, reducing stress, and respecting boundaries in what your pet might find to be a new or scary situation. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule, so any time not spent with my own pets or volunteering at the animal shelter I can dedicate to caring for your pet! I have a fenced yard, dog crates, and even a dedicated "pet room" in my home. I also like to use the vertical space for my cats and give them lots of shelving and perches for them to climb and view the windows.

About: I have had pets my whole life with a dog being the consistent. Ive had dogs of all sizes and personalities. I feel great care for the animals & have a lot of love to give them. Right now my schedule is all over the place & so to the individual we can make a plan that works through good open communication (: Can give pets a bath & good brushing i don't perform any grooming beyond that. Love to make sure the dog gets enough loving and activeness that fits their personal breed & personality.

About: Hi!! :) My name is Serena, I love animals with all my heart! I’m the go to dog sitter for my best friend’s Husky & Shepard who is a tripod (3 legged king). I used to volunteer at Pasado’s Safehaven in Washington, and my favorite thing was to bottle feed the cows! I’ve also fed & changed swan bedding on the swan committee, fostered a bob cat, squirrels, horses, and birds. For personal pets I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, parakeets, canaries, cockatiels, leopard geckos, anoles, hermit crabs, tarantulas, various fish and aquatic critters/plants. I’m HOME: Mondays,Tuesdays,Wednesdays,Thursdays. In OFFICE: Friday 7:30-4:30pm, Saturday 8am-5pm w/ 1 hour lunch breaks to check on your pet! I also have a pet cam I can talk to them, send you pics, and dispense treats :) I will make sure we do a meet and greet so we can discuss any specific needs/safety concerns you might have! I have a lot of space and working from home makes frequent checks as simple as looking over from my work desk. My apartment unit is also directly across from the complex dog park and a large grass area! I have one cat, but she’s anti social so she would be kept separate in another room to enjoy her peace and quiet

“Kelsey was great. She took time for a meet & greet, sent pictures while I was away, and my dog, Poppy, liked her from the start. ?”

About: I have experience in watching dogs and caring for them. I have helped give dogs their medicine and followed their medical needs. I am very attentive and thorough when petsitting. Currently, I am taking College classes in the fall on Mondays and Wednesdays, leaving me with Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday free for any work available. I have a fenced yard with a medium sized dog I let out every morning, noon, and night. I also have two medium sized cats that like to keep to themselves. I do live with my family with younger siblings and two adults.

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover! I’ve been taking care of my aunt’s three Bernedoodles for a few years now, so I’m very used to having my hands full with multiple dogs! I’ve also watched my family’s Corgi and Mini Aussie, as well as two Great Danes, so I have plenty of experience with dogs of all different sizes and personalities. I have a German Shepherd of my own who’s always been full of energy but is now getting into her senior years, along with my sweet 1 year kitty! I’ve grown up around animals and genuinely love spending time with them. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets, and I’d love to give yours the same love and attention I give my own! I’m currently a student at ASU and also work part time, but I have a pretty flexible schedule! I’m used to balancing my day around taking care of my own pets, so making time for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention is already part of my routine. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find times that work for both of us! I know how much our pets mean to us, so I always make sure to treat every animal like they’re my own! When visiting your home, I’ll stick to whatever routine your pet is used to, whether that’s feeding, walks, potty breaks, or just some extra playtime and attention. On walks, I’m always mindful of our surroundings and make sure your pup is safe and comfortable. I’ll also make sure they have fresh water, everything is cleaned up, and all doors and gates are secure before I leave. I’m more than happy to send pictures and updates throughout my visits too! I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are happy, safe, and getting lots of love while you’re away!

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: We got our family dog when I was 3! I loved taking her on long walks/bike rides and brushing her hair in the spring. Throughout high school and college, I dog sat for neighbors, family and friends. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I work full time with occasional on call hours, but my typical hours end around 2:30pm, giving me plenty of time to spend my afternoon/evening looking after your critters. I do not work weekends, and would love to spend them with a furry friend. In my own home, I like to joke that my cats can tell time because they have a strict routine. I feed and change their water at the same time each day, and they let me know when I’m late, even by 10 minutes! I am diligent about cleaning their litter each day and mar sure they get enough love once all the household chores are done!

About: I have owned pets my whole life and have a passion for taking care of furry friends! I began sitting for friends and neighbors when I was really young and grew up helping my grandmother and aunt who both ran their own doggy daycare and sitting businesses. I am well versed in dog walking, stopping in to check on pups, and overnight stays. While I am most experienced in smaller to medium sized dogs I have watched over all types of breeds and I am confident in taking care of any dog! I currently have a part time job that only takes up about 6-7 hours a week. I am extremely flexible and available early mornings and late nights. Pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I make sure to create a clean, safe, and comfortable environment to make sure your dog feels at home. I am extremely attentive and take care instructions very seriously. I will always ensure that your dog receives the right amount of supervision, exercise, and affection!

About: Whether your pooch just needs a pal to hang out with while you’re at the office, a stroll around the neighborhood to burn off some energy, or just a quick visit for food/bathroom relief, I’m happy to help! My family consists of two 65lb+ Shepard mixes that were both adopted from fosters, and an elderly tiger cat that was originally found as a stray. Each of our fur babies came with some behavioral baggage, so I have experience handling reactive and/or sensitive pups. I am located in southern Tempe and don’t have an office 9-5 type job, so my schedule is usually quite flexible. Thanks for the consideration! Please reach out with any questions! I have a very flexible schedule during week days. Week nights and weekends are occasionally available as well, please check my schedule or send me a message with any questions! I have a fully enclosed backyard with turf and a pool. However, one of our pooches is still working on her manners towards other dogs, so I’m not offering services in my home at this time.

About: I can not think of a single moment in my life where an animal was not present. I have been caring for pets my whole life and that love brought me to my career as a vet tech. I am not only comfortable checking in on pets & walking them but I am extremely proficient in all things animal care when it comes to medical care. I have worked at multiple practices, ranging from Emergency & Critical Care to General Practices to Specialty (Neurology). I am Basic & Advanced Life Support certified. I can safely and efficiently administer medications for all pet needs. I am fluent in Spanish as well. I am free to care for our furry friends 24/7. I care for my own two furbabies but aspire to be a bridge between pet owners and pet care. I treat and care for animals as my own, because how you do something and how well you do it matters. I make sure I follow instructions very carefully to ensure a safe and happy reunification of pets and their owners.

About: **I am pet CPR trained please read below** I had my cat for about 9yrs before she passed away, and I have 2 dogs currently. I also volunteer at AAWL from time to time and am looking to go back to college so I can become a veterinarian. I currently work at a pet resort/dog daycare during the day. I am also Pet CPR Certified through the Frontline Coalition/Pet Tech CPR&First aid training as of 5/31/26 **see photo of certificate** **Update, I work at a pet resort now & my schedule is subject to my work schedule which is not always the same. Please submit your request or send me a message so I can ensure I am available for you. I typically work 12-7 most days & 9-4 on Sundays. My idea of caring for pets is to show them unconditional love, petting them and walking them, and making sure the food bowl/water bowl is always full, and making sure the pet is happy, listened to, feels safe and loved and attended to.

“Wonderful, caring and conscientious!”
