Dog Walking Palmer

About: Big or small, I love them all! I have expertise caring for senior, special needs, and high anxiety dogs. Need a pet care professional that focuses on your dogs needs? I'm here for you. Throughout my life, I've always had at least one dog, and I currently share my home with a wonderful pack of seven. Because I know how important a pet’s routine and comfort are, I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits, ensuring your dog gets my absolute, undivided attention in their own familiar neighborhood. I take pride in delivering the highest level of care and always put a dog's well-being first. My professional background includes working at a dog daycare as a behavioral coordinator, where I specialized in safely handling dogs with challenging or reactive behaviors. I'm also the go-to guy for most of my friends and family when they need a reliable pet sitter. Ensuring proper enrichment and care throughout the day for even the most energetic of dogs is my goal. I also partner with local rescues and sanctuaries to foster dogs, focusing heavily on senior and medically disabled pets. One of my dogs is actually paralyzed and another one was born with only 2 legs and they are some of the most fun dogs I've ever had. My specialized, hands-on skills include: Expressing paralyzed dogs Administering insulin injections Managing difficult, timid, or leash-reactive behaviors Animal CPR and First Aid (Certified since 2019) If your dog has special needs, lets chat! While my main focus is dogs, I also have extensive experience with guinea pigs, rats, mice, and lizards. I also love bugs, so if you have some wild exotics I'm happy to help with them as well! Whether your pet needs a slow and patient approach on their daily walk, specialized medical attention during a midday drop-in, or just a lot of love while you are at work, they are in safe, experienced hands with me. I have a flexible work schedule and can do drop-in visits or walks throughout the day. Most evenings I am also available past 4pm until about 10pm. I love playing around with dogs if that's what they need, but I also don't mind just hanging out with a senior dog while they relax and wonder the yard. I try to cater to the specific dog or dogs in my care. I have experience working at a dog daycare and ensuring dogs days safe, fun, and are full of enrichment are my top priorities. I take a caring approach to making sure dogs are comfortable. I do what I can to read behavioral cues and try my best to approach each dog based on their own boundaries. If you're looking for walks, or just a drop in, I'll make sure your dog has the fun they deserve.

“First walk was a success! Katie has such a wonderful way with Layla and very quickly learned all of her quirks so that this first walk would be a good one. Amazing job!!”

About: I love dogs and have a walked them for relatives in the past. Because I have a bunny in my home, I can't have a dog. So your pet will get all my FOMO love! Cats also hold a special place in my heart. I have experience playing with my mother-in-law's two cats. I am English/Spanish bilingual, which may be helpful caring for bilingual pets! I'm currently between jobs, so I have plenty of time to give your fur baby the love they need! I love going outside and would love to help your pet get rid of cabin fever! I would be free during the day for check-ins and some walks! I can spend some quality time chilling with your pet or taking a walk! I can take care of your dog or in your home, following instructions you may leave. I can also walk whatever route you usually take with your dog around the neighborhood. I love to play, so your pet will have a fun time in my care!

“Amber was so good with Rosie during our meet & greet and on their walk! Very reassuring!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old. I am used to recognizing and responding to their needs and treating them with the utmost care and affection. I have experience with walking my own dogs, one of which was a large dog and the other is small, so I know what to expect when walking a dog of any size. I also know to be very vigilant while on dog walks and to be cautious of other dogs, when I take my own dogs on walks I avoid any interaction between them and other dogs we may see on our route because you just never know the temperament of another persons dog. I am a college student currently on summer break so my schedule is very open, which means I have ample time to help your pups get their steps in! I am available Monday-Friday from 11am- 3pm to take your furry friends on walks. I will care for your fur baby like my own during our walks. I am extremely attentive and will keep your pup from eating random things on the ground, keep them away from cars and anything else that could pose as danger.

“Erin has been absolutely amazing with my dog Earl. Since she has been walking him he’s more calm when I get home and behaves better for me on our walks. I would highly recommend her. Very friendly responsive and amazing with my pup!”

About: I have worked in pet grooming salons as well as daycare and boarding! I have also owned my own pets from birds to dogs to snakes! I believe every pet deserves to be treated with love, respect, and kindness I currently work as a dog groomer at a doggie daycare/boarding facility! I work five days a week, primarily mothers hours. I am usually available after 3PM or before 7:30AM! In my home there is a spare air conditioned bedroom for pets that need their own separate space, otherwise any pets will be allowed to coexist in my home with my own two medium sized dogs. I love to hike, go on walks, play, and cuddle on the couch! I believe all animals deserve to be loved, and yours will be treated as my own when in my care - weather for a sleepover or just a walk!

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I was a dog washer for a year and have a love for all animals. I've grown up with all sorts of animals, mostly dogs. My children love animals as well and we will be hands on when caring for anyone's dog. I'm a stay at home mother with lots of energy and time to devote to caring for your dog. I am confident that any dog will be comfortable and happy staying with our family no matter the duration of their stay. I will adhere to every guideline and preference that don't overlap my standards and I'll be flexible to accommodate your dog. I look forward to helping you and your dog.

About: Hello! I am a veterinary technician of 16 years. I have my Master Trainers certificate for police and military k9s and I love all animals. I am currently working part-time as a surgical veterinary technician and shift lead. I have a very flexible schedule and open availability. I do not have many limitations when it comes to my schedule. I currently live in a nice and clean apartment complex. The complex has two large open grassy areas, and it is fenced in. I am accustomed to leash walking, gentle leader training, pinch collar training and harness training. I live close by to multiple dog parks, trails and my current place of employment. I have a very sweet and loving spayed female Vizsla who is now 8 years old. She is extremely dog friendly and plays wonderfully with others. I also have a spayed female 10 month mixed breed named Ginny, who is also very sweet, playful and friendly. If you are interested in overnight pet care at my home I do have two cats, both are great with dogs and also very friendly. I also have the ability to crate train overnight if needed. In addition I offer obedience training services.

“Paul is a wonderful addition to my dog’s routine! I was scrambling to figure out what to do on my 12 hour days with my newly adopted rescue female pit mix when classes started this Fall. After reviewing a few profiles, Paul’s really stuck out as someone with both passion and genuine knowledge about dogs/dog behavior. I asked him to come meet my dog before we officially booked to ensure that she reacted well to him. Within the first few minutes, my dog was on her back requesting belly rubs. Needless to say, they hit it off! I feel very comfortable with Paul and SO pleased with how happy my dog looks in the pictures I get from their weekly walks. Even when she refuses to go outside in the rain, he spends time hanging out with her so she still gets some attention. I couldn’t be more appreciative and I’m sure my dog would 100% agree!”

About: My dog passed away at age 18 and my family decided that we are not going to get another one. Being able to care for other people's dogs will be a joy. I am not good about updating my calendar. Reach out if you need care for your pet and if I am available, I will be happy to help! I am currently semi-retired and working part-time with a lot of flexibility in days and hours. Dog walking or pop in care will work for me. I won't be able to do any frequent regular visits as my schedule changes weekly. I am used to walking dogs and having dogs that are crate trained. Whatever your routine is, I can help to be consistent in training and care.

“Ashley is amazing with our pups! She’s so flexible and easy to work with and always stays for some extra pets with our older dog!! We’re lucky to have her!”

About: I have owned and helped take care of pets since I was a child and have worked in the veterinary field for 5 years. I am proficient at giving oral and injectable medications. I am a born animal lover and will treat your pet as if they were my own. I do work full time, so would mostly be available weekends but can be flexible depending on the situation. My job provides me with skills that would be helpful in caring for older animals and animals with health conditions. Comfortable with both dogs and cats. I have 2 dogs of my own who are always happy to have playmates, but I also have ample space and can keep them separate if needed. Willing to come to your place or have your fur babies come to mine.

About: I have been thoroughly enamored by dogs most of my life, ever since my family got our first black Lab. I have experience working with puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I currently have a 1-year-old puppy and 2 cats at home, all of whom are front-and-center in my life. I am also a veterinary technician (nurse), so I am very comfortable giving medication and caring for pets who may be unwell. I can also perform basic veterinary first aid, though I do not know CPR. I am extremely dedicated to keeping pets happy and healthy. I love working with them and discovering their unique personalities and quirks. I look forward to getting to know your dog! I am currently a full time vet tech, but am available all day on Sunday and Monday, and also afternoons (after 2 pm) on Wednesday and Saturday. I have one very friendly large-breed dog, who is generally pretty chill around other dogs, but will sometimes play. In your home, I would respect any boundaries you set and maintain common courtesy. I also strive to leave everything as I found it.
