Dog Walking Rio Verde

“Max the collie had a great time being cared for by Tom and taking a walk with him while I was away for a photography workshop in Norway.. He is a great dog sitter and I could enjoy my trip without worries.”

Nicole Z.

“Sibel was wonderful! She walked our dog several times over consecutive days. She was always on time and sent many pictures. She is very positive and clearly loves animals! We will definitely use her again!”

About: From dogs 🐕‍🦺and cats 🐈to barn animals🐎; they all are my happy place🐾. I look forward to loving and understanding your pet(s) while building a relationship that brings them happiness 🦴while establishing for you - peace of mind. Rest assured; this southern gal 🌾has a heart for🐴 animals the size of Texas❣️ But the greatest of them is LOVE 1 Corinthians 13 I am flexible in scheduling with the intent that my love in pet care will bring your pet(s) and your routine a sense of consistency. And for those of us, that at times, have the unexpected or spontaneous moment(s); these are the moments that make life interesting😊: Know your animals's are in safe-loving hands. Genuine caring and loving animals - is first to know that each one is different; just as we are in our own unique ways. Feeding, exercise, clean water, routine, medications are part of basic necessity. However, speaking from my own experience's (implementing further what you have already established; safety in a trusted environment); it's important to not take for granted that all animal's are not the same. Taking the time to know what gives your pet a sense of security as they begin to trust me in their environment is all part of keeping them safely loved.

About: In addition to house/pet sitting, I have owned numerous dogs and cats plus hamsters, fish, chickens, and horses. I enjoy working with animals and am open to caring for most types of pets. I have previous experience with Housecarers and Trusted Housesitters and can provide copies of reviews by pet owners. I am retired so my schedule is flexible. I am physically very active and able to handle extensive walking as needed. I do occasionally travel but plan my travel months in advance so it would not interfere with any scheduled sits or pet care. I am not available to care for pets in my home. I would be available both day or night to care for or sit for pets in your home. I am a walker, so dog walking is one of my favorite activities with pets.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all age since I was young! I have had 3 of my own dogs and one foster dog. Shy or nervous dogs, low or high energy are no problem. I try to mimic your pets home routine as much as possible. Your pet will feel loved, happy and excited when in my hands. I am home during the week and mostly on weekends. Other than being out for a few hours during the day (roughly 2) if needed for any errands. I try to be with your pet as much as I can. I have a large fenced yard (no pool) to play in the backyard. Pets are allowed on furniture with me and I have my own little cockapoo to keep your fur baby company. She is very friendly and loves to play! I have a dog park right across the street that I am happy to take your pet to if you are comfortable.

About: I’ve been raising and caring for Cane Corsos since I was 10 years old, giving me extensive experience with large, powerful breeds. While I have a special place in my heart for Cane Corsos, I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities and have experience caring for many different breeds. I’ve also owned three cats throughout my life and currently have one of my own, so I’m equally comfortable caring for feline companions. Growing up around animals has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, exercise, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a gentle giant, or a laid-back cat, I’ll treat them with the same care, patience, and affection I give my own animals. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m free almost all week and early in the morning! I don’t mind overnight stays. Rain or shine. Very flexible with your schedule! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Having raised Cane Corsos since I was 10 and owned cats throughout my life, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals. I always make sure pets have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment with fresh water, regular meals, exercise, and plenty of attention. I’m mindful of securing doors and gates, keeping potentially harmful items out of reach, and following each pet’s specific care instructions. I understand that every animal has a unique personality. Some dogs need plenty of exercise and playtime, while others prefer a relaxed environment. Similarly, some cats love attention, while others need their personal space. I always adapt my approach to make sure each pet feels comfortable and secure. I’ll respect your home, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care I give my own.

About: I’ve grown up with a dog and have experience walking and caring for many different dogs in my neighborhood. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and love staying active, whether that’s playing, going on walks, or giving your dog plenty of attention and care. I’m currently available all summer aside from a few planned trips. Other than that, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate your pet whenever needed. I’ll be starting college in the fall, so my availability will change then, but for now I’m free most days and happy to work around your schedule. I care for pets in the client’s home by following their normal routine and instructions closely. I make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and comfortable in their own space. I also provide attention, keep things clean, and ensure they feel safe while you’re away.

About: I love pets and strongly believe they should be taken care of the right way, with love, care, and space to play. They have the energy to run and play and deserve to be able to do so! I work part time during the mornings. I can take care of them during the day and evening, including overnight visits or stays. I am flexible as well and happy to work around schedules. I will clean up after animals as well as your home. It’s my priority to leave your house exactly how you left it, and make sure your animals are treated the same way I’d take care of my own, with love and care.

About: We are a family of 5 - mom, dad, as of 2024, a 7 year old boy, Anquan the old alphadog and Chase the young pup. (We just put our old pup down and can’t bring myself to fully change the profile yet but FYI, we just have Chase now 😥) We have grown up around dogs and had dogs of our own our whole lives. My mother-in -law bred dogs and walked in and judged dog shows, so our household has picked up a few tips and tricks for training and care. We love our pups and we will love yours too! We live in a house with a fenced yard and have a large trampoline my dogs like to sun bath on for some reason. We have grass and rocks in our backyard for your picky poopers, and when we take walks, they are down the canal and over to Papago since our street ends at the canal. We both work from home so we will be with the dogs all day, and my pups will be so happy to have new playmates. We have a young pup who will be happy to share toys and treats and tire your dogs out and we have an old man who is happy to share his couch space with your old guys. My husband started freelancing so he is happy to earn a little extra and come walk your dogs, or watch your dogs at your place as well. Up to you! We give our old man medicine so we are comfortable giving any meds that are needed, or administering special diets. Just let us know 😉🙃 FYI’s…. - We do not have any cats and will not watch cats in our home but are happy to do so in your home. - I feel for dog owners in apartments/condos, especially during the summer months, but if your dog does not know how to or won’t use the restroom on any surface but the patio, this does not work for us. Not only do we not want that on our patio but our patio is brick and the bricks are porous and stain easily. If this ends up being the case, it is our discretion to add a cleaning fee. - You are welcome to bring toys/bones as long as your pup doesn’t mind sharing and doesn’t have aggression attached to the item - You are welcome to bring toys, bed, whatever BUT you don’t have to as we have plenty to share and we are not responsible if the items gets damaged. We have two dogs and sometimes watch more than 1 dog at a time and you never know how animals will react to being in a new place with new dogs. So we can’t be responsible if a bed gets gnawed on or a toy get chewed. - All we really need is your dog food and treats. We also have treats but if your pup can have a sensitive stomach, we would rather have their treats. FYI - booking house sitting means you want us to Be at your home as much as possible with your pets and possibly sleeping over. If you just need someone to pop in to feed/walk/play - that’s is booking a “drop-in” We both work remotely and my husband only works part-time so we are always available but for exceptional situations which we will mark as unavailable. We already take care of our own 2 so we do walks first thing in the morning and after dinner. We also have a doggie door to our backyard. If we have your pups on the weekend, it’s not summer and your pup is capable, it is likely we will take a walk to the Hole In The Rock since it’s right down the canal from our house and a good distance for my kiddo and pups. But we will make sure to ask you what your pups can and can not do before doing so. Usually, the dogs are so exhausted from just playing in the yard all day that walks and hikes are last thing on their minds! I have a fenced in grass yard with a doggie door and two friendly pups to keep your pup company. I also have a little boy who loves dogs and the first thing he does when he gets home from school is play with the dogs. If we are coming to your home, your rules are your rules. We will just try to keep their schedule and structure as close to the one they are used to and it would just be one of us as someone will stay home with our pups. Happy to bring our pups over if you want a playdate while gone as well.

About: I’m a loving, dependable, and attentive pet caregiver who truly treats every pet like family.

I have experience giving medications to dogs, as well as dogs with disabilities like blindness and deafness. Ideally with pet sitting, my wife and I would meet the dogs and/or cats before we pet sit to learn their specific needs, and learn where the food and treats hide.
