Dog Walking Rillito

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.

“My Clover girl immediately fell in love with Rob. He's kind, on time, communicates clearly and is fantastic with animals!! We highly recommend him!”

“My dogs were so happy to see Sydny and Atiana for their walk! What a great service, I will definitely use them again.”

Lorraine M.

“Ander was communicative before and after the visit. There was a mishap with the Rover app and recording photos/the Rover card but Ander explained this was his first time doing a walk vs boarding. I would ask Ander to walk my dog in the future!”

About: I’ve had a very strong connection with dogs. I love being around dogs and will always have a connection to them. I love playing with them and lots of cuddles. I've always had dogs in my life from puppies to senior. I enjoy their company. I'm a housewife which gives me enough time to play with your pup and give the time they need. I'm available Sunday through Saturday. Also spend time with your cat or cats. For my client's I would take the pup outside to go potty and play with them then go inside to get their food and water ready for them. Also would take an early morning walk if needed. Plus play with them at the client's home. I'd clean litter boxes make sure your furry cat is fed & plenty of water.

“Danika is a great communicator. Appreciated the text messages and pictures of the dogs. She was very considerate of the dogs in terms of the temperature outside for walks. Made adjustments to walking depending on the weather. Showed concern for our dogs' well-being and safety.”

Cheryl H.

“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.

“We are so pleased with Jennifer’s work ethic and communication. There were a few glitches on our side, she gladly worked with us. We will definitely use her again for our dog, and our family dogs.”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own and believe they deserve kindness, respect, and individualized care. I have experience caring for senior dogs through every stage of life. My dog, Zeus, was with me from the time he was a puppy until he was 12 years old. During his senior years and final days, I cared for his changing needs by making sure he stayed comfortable, followed his routine, and received the extra patience and attention he needed. That experience taught me how important it is to recognize when a pet needs a little extra care and compassion. I’m also able to adapt quickly to different animals, personalities, and routines. I’ve cared for a variety of pets and understand that every animal has unique behaviors and needs. Whether your pet has a detailed schedule, dietary requirements, medications, or specific instructions, I’m confident in following them closely to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I’ll always care for them as if they were part of my own family. Your baby is my top priority, so I have a completely open and flexible schedule. I recently left my previous job, which allows me to dedicate my full attention to caring for your pet. Whether you need weekday, weekend, morning, evening, or last-minute care, I’m happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. My goal is to provide your pet with the love, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. Since my schedule is so flexible, I can focus on maintaining your pet’s routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for from the moment you leave until you return. Whether I am caring for your pet in your home or spending time with them during visits and walks, I will make sure they are closely supervised, safe, and receiving plenty of attention. I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s normal routine, so I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, potty breaks, and any other specific needs. I also take the time to learn each pet’s personality and comfort level so they can feel as relaxed and secure as possible while you’re away. I respect both your pet and your home, and I will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for every step of the way.

About: As a devoted dog owner for the past 13 years, I understand that every dog deserves patient, loving, and dependable care. Caring for my own senior Havapoo has given me experience with the changing needs that come with age, from slower walks and extra patience to sticking to routines that help dogs feel comfortable and secure. I specialize in drop-in visits and dog walks and will treat your pet like one of my own. Whether your dog needs exercise, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, feeding, or simply companionship while you’re away, I’ll provide attentive, personalized care. I know how important trust and communication are, so I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos after each visit. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a dog of my own and understand the importance of consistency. My schedule allows me to provide dependable drop-in visits and walks throughout the day, and I enjoy spending time outdoors and staying active. I take pride in being punctual, following each pet’s routine, and giving every dog the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s a midday walk or checking in while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and your instructions to help keep them comfortable while you’re away. During visits, I can provide walks, potty breaks, fresh water, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll also send a quick update and photos after each visit.

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!

“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.”

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.

“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!”

“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.”
