Dog Walking Rillito

“They did awesome with my dog.”

Naqesha S.

“Stephanie was brilliant with our young pup. She went above and beyond during the visit. Definitely recommend her!”

“Ariel came by to walk my big boy, Wilbur (~100 lb Presa Canario). She was great! Came by to meet him before and took down lots of notes. He felt comfortable around her and I didn’t have a single concern after the trial visit! Her rates are unmatched and she provides quality care. 10/10 recommend!”

Carolanne W.

“Let me just say, this girl has been AMAZING! My GSD Gallagher needed some other human time (other than his mom) and Taylor has been the best sitter we have found. He loves going on walks with her. I love getting all the photos she sends! Seriously, if you need help with your fur baby like I did, Taylor is the one! Thanks girl!!”

About: With 16 years of hands-on experience in pet care and training, I’ve honed a deep understanding of animal behavior, needs, and communication. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide variety of pets—from playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets requiring extra attention. My approach combines patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, ensuring that pets feel safe, loved, and well-behaved. Whether it’s daily care, specialized training, or addressing behavioral challenges, I bring both skill and heart to every pet I care for. I'm currently working part time so I have loads of extra time to care for, train, and love on all of your furry family members. I have an enclosed backyard with one well-trained medium sized dog. He gets along well with most dogs, but can easily be separated if needed.

“Elizabeth did great with our hyper puppy! She was patient and took him on two great walks. We appreciate her willingness to be open to walking a German Shepherd puppy.”

“Lauren is so great! She is super easy to communicate with and my dog loves her. I trust her 100%!”

About: Hi, my name is Emily! I’ve grown up owning both dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like I would my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a full-time online student, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. I enjoy babysitting and going to the gym, but outside of that my time is very open, allowing me to focus on walks, drop-ins, playtime, and quality care for your pets. Because of my flexibility, I’m able to stick closely to your pet’s routine and give them the attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live in a calm home with my sister, her boyfriend, and another roommate, who are all firefighters and often gone for 24 hour shifts, so the house stays very quiet during the day. As a full time online student, I am home most of the time and able to give pets lots of attention, supervision, and consistent care. I always follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, walks, and any instructions closely to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable.

About: I have had pets my entire life and understand how important it is to know they are being well taken care of. I love all animals and would love to take care of your family member(s)! I recently retired and am learning how to navigate all the free time I now have. I have been a pet/animal lover my entire life. I look forward to caring for your family member. I will make sure that your instructions/preferences are adhered to and that everything is handled to your satisfaction and expectations.

“Thumper had such a good run! He loved it! Kaitlin is so professional and caring.”

About: I have dog/cat sat for family, friends, family friends and many others. Both in house/overnight, as well as taking dogs on walks and having playtime. I'm used to both younger and older animals and set my pace to match their own. I have dealt with many forms of administering medicine to animals. My goal, as in my headline, is to cater to you and your pet. Not all animals are the same! Some animals require lots of attention and comfort and others need a far slower pace. Whatever works best for your animal is what I will do. I am great at approaching animals slowly and calmly so that they can adjust to my presence. Above all, I wish to bring the least stress to your pet with my presence if they are not a social animal. Overall my overnight stays/days spent taking care of other animals (not my own) amounts to about 1 year of continuous experience. I have come to learn how to handle both dogs and cat extremely well but am more than capable and willing to learn/care for any other type of pet! I volunteer part-time so I have plenty of time on my hands to watch your pets! I can stay fully inside your house for overnight visits and not leave much or check in on them periodically, whichever works best for you. If I am to be absent from your house for any reason (likely volunteering) I will have discussed it with you prior to the sitting and will only be gone for a maximum of 5 hours (accounting for travel time). I will avoid having any volunteer hours on any days that I am pet sitting as often as I can help it! I cater to you and your pets before my own personal desires. As often as your pet wants to play I will play! I can go on multiple walks a day with them. If you prefer that they be away from other animals on walks I will find a more secluded area. All animals are different and require different needs. I largely base my activities during pet sitting or playtime/walks off of what the client needs for their pets rather than prior experience that I have. When I first introduce myself to your pet it will be slow and gradual (offering my hand to sniff, not making eye contact, allowing them to adjust to my presence and come to me first) unless of course they're open upon me entering!

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid in 4-H I have 10 years of professional dog handler experience and one year of cat handling experience. I just moved to the area and I have a lot of availability! Please reach out with any questions. Thank you have a great day. I always focus on establishing trust first and focus only on positive reinforcement. I have found great success in waiting for the dog to do the right thing and reward that vs and punishing for correction. That won't happen with me. Positive reinforcement only!

About: Having cared for dogs of all personalities and ages for 40 years, we will conscientiously care for your pet as we do our own. Having boarded our own dogs in the past, I know how important it is to respect your wishes in providing everything your pet needs to feel secure, as well as lots of cuddles! We have cared for senior pets, managing multiple medications, monitoring symptoms, and adjusting to changes in hearing, sight, and energy.We have raised puppies, using only positive training techniques for house training, socialization, walking, etc. We are retired, so keeping your pet company would be a pleasure. We are gone at most an hour or 2 in any given day. We will conscientiously provide care according to your wishes. We follow the schedule your pet is used to, as that provides sense of security to your pet. Whether cuddling or walking, we want to be sure your fur baby has the best day possible! We are also licensed foster care providers for developmentally disabled adults, so for your sense of security in addition to Rovers background check, we can provide fingerprint clearance cards,references, and our DDD foster license.

About: I have loved all kinds of animals my whole life... Including Fish 🐟 & Reptiles🦎I would be honored to watch and care for your pet/pets as needed I currently have an open and flexible schedule. I am available daily, weekly, monthly, long term and overnights. I believe all pets are a part of the family and should be loved and cared for even more, while you're away I will care for your animals as you would 🐾 love & attend to them as if they were my own 🐣 I know every house is different depending on what animals and what breeds but I'm very versatile and attentive to unspoken needs 🐾

About: As someone who works from home, your pup will receive constant love, attention, and supervision throughout the day. Aside from the occasional quick errand or appointment, your dog will rarely ever be left alone. I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities for over 19 years. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and TLC. I have a friendly dog of my own who loves having company, so your pup will have both human attention and a built-in playmate if they enjoy being around other dogs. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home during their stay. Your dog will have access to a large, fully fenced, secure outdoor area where they can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I can also accommodate crate-trained dogs if needed and will always follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I truly treat every dog like family and understand how important it is to know your pet is in caring, reliable hands while you’re away. Please let me know if your pup has ever been boarded. This is important as I’d love to make them as comfortable as I can. It is important that your pup gets along with others as I do have a dog of my own and also care for other pups as well!

“Jess has been a rockstar! I trust her to come out and give River a walk anytime. He’s always worn out and happy afterwards. She takes the time to make sure his water bowl is full after each walk too. Will definitely continue to book with Jess!”

About: I've taken care of rabbits, dogs, cats, fishes, and even hermit crabs! I used to live on a farm so I'm used to taking care of the smallest pets to the biggest. My own pets are elderly and so I can admitted proper care to them. I also have experience with cats that are diagnosed with kidney disease. I prefer weekends for house sitting or overnight! I can do very early dogs walks especially during the summer to keep pets safe and out of the heat. The same can be said about evenings, whenever is safest for the animals. I am a very good multitasking, so I'm confident in my ability to keep pets safe when pet sitting. I prefer details on clients homes, like if the backyard is fenced, etc. So that I can make a through plan to keep your pets safe.

“Kenna is always courteous and friendly yet very professional and on time. She took time to listen to our requests as well as was the first one who showed she really cares for animals and wanted Sasta to be comfortable with her. Our Sasta looks forward to her walks with Kenna.”
