Dog Walking in Rio Rico

About: My family has owned and operated a combined 3 pet grooming and boarding business for the last 23 years and I've been caring for pets of all shapes and sizes for 18 years. I am completely professional and courteous, and can guarantee I can offer you the greatest quality service for your pets/fur babies. In my personal life, my own career is in pharmacy where I've worked in both human and animal medicine. Currently, I work from home and would love to dedicate some time to meeting and caring for the pets in my community. I respect your property and pets as I would my own, thank you for your consideration! I have been working from home for the last 5 years. My work allows me to step away as many times as needed to make sure that your pet/fur baby’s needs are well met. My home is open to all pets, I work from my living room office where my own dog, a Boston Terrier named Puka, can usually be found sleeping by my feet. Puka loves company and is well educated and non aggressive with other animals including dogs and cats. My property is about a half acre, fully fenced to prevent pets from escaping out and other critters from coming in, however your pet will spend the majority of the time indoors with me. Potty breaks are in my backyard patio which is also fenced, and they would only roam the whole property under my direct supervision for playtime and enrichment activities.

About: I want to open our home for dogs that need to feel loved and comforted while their family is away. I have had a pet most of my life. Different breeds from a small terrier to large dogs. Currently we have an older lab that loves everyone. We choose a Labrador after training puppies with Guide Dogs for the Blind for 5years. I like fun energetic pets as well as slow moving or special needs. I will take pictures and videos so you can see how your family pet is doing. We retired to Green Valley 13 years ago. One of us is always home, but I will be the primary care given for your pet. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to care for your precious family member. My husband and I are retired and home full time.With a fenced back yard for your pet. And many areas to walk . If you have an early riser, I'm up at 5:30 daily. Our home has an enclosed front court yard. And a 3ft6inch brick wall in back. I keep only plants I can see under for the safety of my animals.

About: I've had a dog since i was around 8, I have also pet sat for neighbors and family friends. I love all dogs and am willing to take care of any one I can. I am working while I am on break during my classes so I will be free most of the day on most days. I don't mind spending long hours with your pet I love dogs and cats so I will be happy too. I will be caring for your dog in your home so I will look around for any potentially dangerous areas if there are any and make sure to keep the pets away and see where is the best play area to make sure both your pet stays safe as well as nothing gets damaged.

About: Hi! I am Susan. I live in Goodyear, AZ with my two dogs Jimmy and Bambi. I am home most of the day except when I work which is only a few hours three days per week. I am also one of the Rover Premier Sitters who has undergone advanced screening that culminated in a face-to-face in-home interview with a home inspection. I believe there is really something special about every dog. I appreciate having the chance to care for your best friends and welcome them into my family. With my experience as a veterinary technician for over thirty years, I can promise you won’t be worried leaving your dog with the Rover Premier Sitter. Your dogs will be happy and really on their own vacation while you are gone. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you and your dog(s)! Why I love dog sitting I have always been a dog lover ever since I was a child. I became a veterinary technician when I was 18 years old, and I am currently still active in the field 30 years later. I also have a friend who is a veterinarian who lives nearby. Meet my pets I have two very friendly small dogs: Jimmy and Bambi who are Chihuahua mixes. All my dogs love other dogs and are up to date on their vaccines. About my yard My yard is completely enclosed by an 8 foot fence with an overhang as well as a snake mesh. I am a certified veterinary technician. I am semi-retired so my work hours are minimal and flexible. My life revolves around my pets so they are always a priority as your pet would be also. My fence was designed for maximum safety. There is an overhang present to prevent predators from climbing over. There is also a snake mesh present to keep out snakes and other dangerous pests.

About: Animals deserve the best of care at all times, even when their families can't provide it at all times. From dogs who love to cuddle and hate the outside heat to dogs whose energy never reaches its end, there is one way or another to break our 'species' barrier and connect~ Walks can take any length of time multiple times a day, usually I always have treats with me on walks and work on the dog not pulling on it's leash and doing occasional sits and 'look at me's. House sitting is usually better for me on weekends if required overnight, but my schedule as a remote worker and student is very flexible <3 I’m currently working as a dog trainer, it is my main source of income. I also have a service dog in training which I constantly work with and have cared for multiple pets through out the days fitted into my schedule. I am always doing my best to keep a watchful eye on the dogs while allowing them room to adjust to me and their environment . I encourage freedom and play in dogs with safety in mind.

About: Hi! Available for Santa Cruz and Cochise Counties, including Ft Huachuca. I grew up on a farm, worked at a vet clinic, and have always had animals and pets when my life permitted. I have a passion for our furry "family members" as well as learning all different types of animal behavior. Dogs, cats, horses, cows, donkeys, fish, and even took care of a camel a time or two. My professional and athletic life has taken me around the world, and frankly, caring for pets of family, friends and neighbors throughout the years has still always been a most gratifying highlight! I have the patience and energy to match dogs of all temperaments, so let me know how I can support you and your family! If my profile is visible, it means I have plenty of time to help out with your furry family members, be it pet-sitting, walking, or just checking in on them. I have a highly-flexible schedule and a vehicle large enough to crate/transport if needed. I live on a large farm but do prefer to keep them leashed when walking (until I know they heel well AND to keep YOU more confident). I'm flexible on this based on consults with you. They would sleep indoors, and if you prefer, I could easily crate as well. Non-smoking home. You can bet I'll treat them as my own!

“Candida is terrific! She gave me true peace of mind talking care of my Chester while I performed a wedding ceremony. Thank you again!”

About: Hello, my name is Maxx, and I also go by Mary. I am an experienced pet sitter as well as an ICU Veterinary Technician. I have been a technician for five years, with three of those years in the ICU. I began my pet-sitting journey after experiencing compassion fatigue over the years. I have a genuine passion for animals and have yet to meet one I couldn’t understand. I became Fear Free certified in 2020. I have experience caring for special needs animals, as well as neonates and seniors who require medications and plenty of tender care and attention. I have a whole zoo of my own at home and love extending that love to other pets. I enjoy taking pets on beautiful walks with great scenery and using positive reinforcement when they behave well. I would love for you to reach out and see the services I offer for pet sitting or walking. I currently work relief in veterinary medicine, so I pick up shifts every few days when I feel I have the emotional capacity. I’d like to shift towards pet sitting and pet walking. I have lots available and very flexible as I do freelance work due to my love to travel. When I care for a pet in the home, I follow the parents’ expectations but often go above and beyond to ensure the pet is comfortable and well taken care of. When I walk a pet, I frequently assess any signs of overheating or stress and provide water, a cooling towel, etc. If the pet is stressed, I remove it from that environment and redirect its focus and mindset for the remainder of the walk so they can enjoy it and get exercise. My years of working in vet med have made me very detail-oriented, and I like to keep owners updated when they are out of town. I also collect emergency contacts and the preferred nearest vet that the pet uses. I am ALS certified (Advanced Life Support)

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I could remember, we just always had dogs in our house adding on to the family that now it's just normal to be with dogs all the time and show them with care. In my opinion I really do love connecting with the dogs because they have just the same feelings we do. I currently don't have a job right now, so no need to stress on my availability. I will have plenty of time to hang out with your pets! I can sit any day from weekday to weekend at any time :) I offer both in-home care (at your home) and care in my home, depending on what works best for your pets and your schedule! If I’m caring for them in my home: Your pups will be treated like part of the family! They’ll have plenty of space to relax, lots of attention, playtime, and regular potty breaks. I maintain their routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. If I’m caring for them in your home: I make sure to keep their environment familiar and stress-free. I’ll follow their usual feeding, potty, and exercise schedule, and of course give them lots of love and attention while you’re gone. I can also handle light house duties like bringing in mail, watering plants, or keeping an eye on things. Either way, I always do my best to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! 🐾

“Kate was new to us, so she was willing to do a meet and greet beforehand. She seemed very professional. She completed the walk on time, and she gave him an excellent but of exercise. She also reported on our dog’s behavior. We definitely will book her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of various animals since I was young. Friends and family depended on me to feed, walk, and take care of their pets. I know the importance of pet care and how to have close and fun relationships with all animals, especially cats and dogs! I’m an animal lover at heart and grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and various farm animals. I am extremely patient with animals and making sure they are taken care of, nurtured, and treated well are my top priorities as well as having fun with them! Pet care fits into my daily routine very easily! I currently take care of two cats at home and have grown up around animals so I am comfortable around them ! I am fairly available and my schedule is the following: Monday: 9 am - 10/11 pm Tuesday : 9 am - 10/11 pm Wednesday: 9 am - 10/11 pm Thursday: 9 am - 10/11 pm Friday : 9 am - 10/11 pm Saturday: 9 am - 10/11 pm Sunday : 9 am - 10/11 pm I live in a very safe area where there are many parks and fields of land surrounding it making it a prime location to have animals. I have no problem walking great distances and being patient with animals especially dogs when it comes to bathroom time. I always have a great time with very lovable, friendly, and energetic dogs and cats and enjoy spending time with them and making sure they are happy and having fun! I can always give them treats, play with them and encourage them to play with their toys, and stay with them for as long as needed! Moreover bonding with them is a process that is individual to every animal, it is not something I can rush and I will take the time to get to know every pet. If anything were to happen during my time with them I will always be available to connect with!

“Elisa was great walking my two big dogs, 65 lbs. a piece! She was always on time and very kind and gentle with my girl's! They loved her ❤. Will definitely call her again.”
