Dog Walking Pala Mesa

About: I have been trusted by friends and family to pet sit the past 3 years. I love all animals the same and have owned multiple pets my whole life. I am working part time and college part time with a flexible afternoon schedule. Mornings on Friday-Sundays are always great and give me lots of free time. I have a secure fenced in backyard with chickens separated to the side. We have a dog crate inside. At this time I do not offer boarding while I am trying to train my puppy.

About: I believe in the freedom a pet has to do their business and for me to be their poop collector. I will help your senior dog get around if they need a little extra help or with your puppy to gain confidence exploring a new area. I have 3 dogs. 2 Senior at 11 years old and 1 younger at 3 years old. They are taken care of first thing in the morning and last thing at night. 1 has many allergies that we care for each day. When helping out at a pets home I follow directions of the owner. If the pet is allowed in the yard I will stay with them while they are playing and or exploring. I clean up after pets if they accidently make a mess or spill some of their food / water.

About: I’ve looked after neighbors dogs and family friends dogs for years. I’m knowledgeable in canine body language so I can read their comfort levels and ensure they aren’t getting overwhelmed. I am very proficient in bathing dogs, I get dogs with double coats deshed and curly coated dogs brushed out. I am currently working part time at a dog grooming facility, but I have few hours. I would have plenty of time to play or lounge with your pups depending on their needs. If your dog is low energy, I would be more than happy to just hang out and play low impact games with them. For my high energy buddies, I would be happy to (with pet parent permission) take them on a trail hike or play ball.

About: I began caring for dogs at a young age and have experience with a variety of breeds, ages, temperaments, diets, and care needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and preferences to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply sticking to a familiar routine, I'm happy to accommodate their needs. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I work fully remotely and maintain a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for extended periods. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and for long-term stays, and I enjoy building my schedule around making sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I always follow the owner's instructions closely to maintain a pet's normal routine and provide consistency while they're away. This includes feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, crate training, house rules, and any special care requirements. In both my home and a client's home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, exercise, affection, and plenty of supervision. I make sure pets receive the attention, enrichment, and care they need while keeping owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind.

“Nadia is lovely. She was always on time with a smile on her face and our Lab enjoyed her walks with her so much. Nadia was a pleasure.”

“Kristine was great! It’s always hard leaving your dog babies but she had my mind at ease while I was away. On time. Quick responses. Photo updates. I’ll be rebooking!”

About: I've had dogs and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I'm retired now, and I have all the time in the world to hang out with yours! I'm retired, with nothing to distract me from taking care of your pet. I have a nice yard to entertain your dog during the day, or I can come over and hang out with your pet. Either way, I'm your guy! I have a fenced yard and all the time in the world to hang out with or entertain your pet at my house or yours.

About: I have experience training puppies, bathing, grooming, and taking care of older pets with medical conditions. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and aquatic friends. I currently work part-time and I’m studying for the MCAT with plenty of time to look after your pets and housesit. I only work a few hours a week in after school care, so I can dedicate most of my time to ensuring your pets are well taken care of. I understand separation anxiety while you’re away may affect some pets more than others. Keeping them comfortable at home would prevent adding on more stress to your pet and you. Thus, I would prefer to stay overnight and pick up where you left off with their routine. I’m very calm, reliable, know how to handle emergency situations, and I’m an animal whisperer :)

About: Puppy cleanup, Obedience training or freestyle, Heinz 57 to AKC, I enjoy their company and I can keep them safe when our and about or at home. I am available for this work 7 days a week and holidays. From morning through evening. I especially like working with your babies on Sundays. I do dog walking and pet sitting in your home. Dogs and cats. Puppies and kittens. Big litters are ok too. Brushing, leash training. Many skills.

About: I’ve cared for animals personally and understand feeding routines, potty breaks, exercise, companionship, and keeping owners consistently updated. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and take the safety of your pet seriously. I have flexible availability and am open to drop-in visits, pet sitting, and some walks depending on distance and schedule! I am currently enrolled in both online and in-person college courses during the fall semester, so my schedule remains quite flexible at the moment. I prioritize each pet's safety, comfort, and routine. In my clients' homes, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, fresh water, exercise, medications, and any special needs. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets away from hazards, and provide plenty of attention and companionship. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away! My goal is to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for in their familiar environment.

About: Over the 15 years I’ve been house sitting professionally, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for puppies to sr. dogs, kittens to sr. cats, lizards, fish, birds, and even farm animals. My goal when I care for your pet is to keep your pet in the routine to which they are accustomed. That means I follow your written instructions, as far their feeding time, walk time, etc. Though, I also want your vacation to feel like a staycation for your pet. That means I’m going to have fun with them whether that means giving them belly rubs, playing fetch with them or playing other fun games with them. Also, please note that you can hire me for overnights, dog walks, or both. So, my price for overnight stays is to stay in your home and care for your pet, but dog walking is separate from overnight stays. During my stay, as much as I will care for you pet(s), I will also care for your home. I’m happy to water any plants, bring in any deliveries/mail, take out the trash and other light chores (I won’t mow your lawn). I work for myself writing online content for people, so my work goes where I go. The only thing I ask is that you have an Internet connection and someplace where I can set up my computer. As far as caring for pets in my home, I am only able to board certain breeds of dogs, and that is contingent on the permission of the homeowner. I am unable to care for cats in my home, but I would be able to come to your home.. In general, I always care for your pet according to your schedule and preference. And I am always sure to adjust my schedule according to the schedule you set for me to ensure your pet receives optimal care. But the key to pet sitting is to emulate the routine to which the dog is already accustomed. My goal is that when you go on vacation your pet(s) will feel like they're on a staycation. Also, please note while I charge $65 per day, I charge separately for walks ($20 per walk). For pets that do not require walks (cats, sr. dogs, etc), I charge $75 a day.

“Samantha is terrific with our “kids” and they really enjoy having someone to get them out to stretch their legs! Looking forward to many many more walks and adventures! Thank you Sam!! “Josh & Fiddler!””

“Samantha is truly the best! She is so caring and kind and takes extra time to work on training. She writes the best report cards and takes the cutest pictures.”

About: I have grown up with a love of taking care of animals. In 2020 I officially started watching pets for more than just family, animals of all types and sizes. I have helped by checking in on pets throughout the day, taking them on walks, overnight watches, and I have even worked with families to train their fur babies. I currently am a full time student and work part time but since I have decided to enroll in more online classes this semester it has left me with more free time. I live in a gated community with a small fenced front patio and access to a dog park down the street for some much needed time outside.

“Our dogs love Nick. Probably more than us to be honest. He is great with the dogs, he always communicates what he’s doing with them and he has a genuine feel for interacting with them”

About: I've had dogs of every size my whole life in every environment, and I really enjoy giving high quality treatment to the animals around me. This is currently my full time job while I apply to other places. I'm free morning noon and night for you, and your pets convenience. I have a fenced-in backyard that has been flea and tick sprayed so no critters will catch a ride on your fur baby. As for walks around your neighborhood I always carry an emergency pet care bag with me just to be safe.

About: I have been dog sitting for about 10 years and have also been working in the dog grooming industry for about 5 years. Love any and all animals! My 8 year old son has also been dog sitting with me since he was a baby and tags along with me a majority of the time. We would love to sit your critters!

“Josh did a great job. Took extra time and our big lab enjoyed his walk.”

“Sarah is wonderful with my pup and knew how to handle her bad habits! She was very responsive and easy to communicate. I felt very safe leaving my pup in the care of Sarah! I definitely intend to book her again :)”

About: We both grew up loving and taking care of our family dogs. When I was in college, I often worked as a dog sitter for neighbors and friends. I was able to build a network who trusted me with their precious pooches. We are still in the process of trying to find a pup of our own but in the meantime, while working from home, we have plenty of time to care for your pet. You can expect lots of snapshots and frequent updates (as often as you’d like) to keep you posted. Whether your furry friend prefers to lounge on the couch or go exploring and running around, we're happy to do what makes them happy! We love hiking, exploring, and discovering the gems in our city! I work from home full time so have the ability and flexibility to be available for your pets needs. Since I am still looking for a dog of my own, it's a great way to love on pups and get my fill of activities with walks or downtime snuggling on the couch. When staying at my home or a client's, I will always follow their guidelines and rules in terms of what is allowed. Mine is a very dog friendly home so they are always welcome on furniture or in the bed as they see fit.
