Dog Walking Rita Ranch

About: I have been around animals large and small my whole life. Vet tech experience for over 10 years and very comfortable with all animals in every stage of their life I am dedicated to Rover and my clients to ensure that routines and schedules for all pets can be accommodated. Willing to be flexible with schedule and pets needs to make sure that each visit is a fun and positive experience I have experience with animals of all sizes and stages in life to ensure safety, care, and comfort. Always willing to go the extra mile to make sure that our fur babies are comfortable and stress free

“Gina has been walking my pup consistently for two weeks! I recently got my pup from PACC, she’s a 1.5 year old German Shepard who is timid and has a history of being abused by a previous owner. Gina took her time getting to know Mila and made sure my dog felt comfortable with her! Mila was a bit afraid at first, given her history, however she has grown so fond of Gina and is very comfortable with her now! I really appreciate Gina for taking the time to work with us ❤️.”

About: I’m a teacher and behavior specialist, so I naturally understand how dogs learn and communicate. My goal is to make you feel completely safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m kind, attentive, and provide consistent care and updates so you always know your dog is happy and well cared for.🥰 I am available for boarding throughout the week and weekends. I work part time (summers off as a teacher too) so will have plenty of time to check on your pup and play with them! I'll make sure you feel confident that your dog is attended to at all times. I have a fenced yard as well as a friendly and fun Aussiedoodle who loves making new friends and playing. I will let you lead on what is best for your best friend (crate, safe place, toys, etc.,).

“Elizabeth took my request super last minute, was quick to respond to my questions and was willing to stay a bit longer as well. My puppy has the energy of a toddler after a couple apple juices and she took it in stride. I would def recommend her and will be booking again.”

“It's always a joy to have Lily walk the dogs. We were watching our daughters dog who was a little unfriendedly the first time meeting her (which was normal for this dog). Lily knows and understands dogs and was able to have the dog get comfortable with her. Both dogs came back tired and exhausted but very happy from their morrning walk. Highly recommend her!”

About: Hello, my name is Adriana. I've had dogs for a little over 10 years, along with 2 cats, and a few birds. Not all at the same time. If there is any more information about your pet that you believe I need to know I would love to be informed. If you need me to stay a little longer than planned, please let me know as soon as possible. If you would like to ask any questions please ask me through a message on here. Thank you for taking the time to check my profile. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I have a cat. So pet care is routine in my everyday life. Plus my family has pets I help take care of when I go visit. I care for pets in client's homes by following their care plan that has been provided by said client. Any additional information/ instructions will be followed to the best of my availability.

About: I am a recent graduate from Colorado State University majoring in Animal Sciences and minoring in Zoology. During my time completing my undergrad I have had many opportunities taking care of dogs and cats for clients up in Northern Colorado. I am very detail oriented and attentive to my care for your fur babies. I also am known to be a great dog walker and have had some experience handling medication for cats and dogs. I am currently looking for work right now but I have a lot of time to be able to care for your animals as you are busy during the day and providing them company! I currently am living in an apartment so I can’t provide boarding services but I do have reliable transportation that’ll allow me to visit homes and check up on your animals during the day!

“Brenda is the perfect dog walker. My dog looks forward to her time with Brenda. My cat is even warmed up to her! If you are looking for a reliable dog walker I highly recommend Brenda!”

About: I grew up with dogs and had cats as pets as an adult. I love both dogs and cats (and all animals) but have the most experience with these two. I can do dog walks, grooming for both dogs and cats, drop ins for feeding, bathroom and any other needs, overnight stays and longer term stays if needed! Please note: I'm happy to travel for meet & greets and bookings, but for locations more than 15 miles from me will include a travel fee due to distance and fuel costs. Please message prior to booking if you are outside this range. Thanks for understanding - it helps me keep providing reliable care for clients. Same-day requests may also incur an additional fee depending on availability. *Lastly* if you see any dates on my calendar that looked blocked off (especially if they're highlighted in yellow) you can still reach out to see if you're close enough for me to do drop in visits! Dates highlighted in yellow just mean I have another booking but I'm still able to fit in drop in visits! 😊 I work remotely so I'm more flexible, esp if I'm doing any daytime or overnight stays. I work 7 am-4 pm M-F and can easily step away from my job as needed. I'm gentle, safe, reliable, intuitive and quick to pick up on how animals are feeling. I also take into consideration any special needs animals may have.

About: I have always loved animals, ever since I was little! My family has had a range of around 3-5 dogs at any given time and we currently have three. I am responsible for feeding, washing, walking, and brushing them! I have dogsat and catsat many times!! For neighbors and family friends, as well as family! I love learning about the personalities and habits of these animals, I have so much fun connecting with them and I can't wait to meet more! I am an 18 year old college student at Northern Arizona University! I'm back home in Tucson for the summer and trying to save up money and build a clientele on Rover before I go back to school! On my college campus, I actually dogsit for alot of friends and while I'm here for the summer, I'll be with my family and our 3 dogs! I spend lots of time hanging out with them, feeding them, walking them, and bathing them! My family dogs roam free around the house and we tend to them, opening the door to let them go outside when they need, feeding them when it's time to eat, and we mostly walk them at night! I give them baths bi-weekly, which is good to do in the summer especially, I help scrub any hair that they shed to make their coats slightly lighter and in turn, the summer sun is more bearable to them. I have taken care of elderly dogs, dogs that are blind and deaf, and many puppies! I will do any service that is requested of me, I am very up for the challenge!

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats, of all ages, pretty much my entire life. I have experience with grooming such as nail trimming and bathing. I am currently a student but my schedule is pretty open during the week and weekend. I am also available on holidays. The only day that I am not fully available is Sunday from 6pm-9pm due to a weekly engagement. As a dog walker, I will take your dogs on walks, take them to the park, or whatever you need me to. If I am dropping by to check on your pets, I will check on all the necessities and make sure to locate all pets (and send pictures).

“Christina is great. My Jack Russell just loves her.”

“My dog is wary of new people and new things, but she took to Thomas right away. Thomas has given her a variety of experiences and activities to spice up her day, and she always comes home happy and ready to relax for a while.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and began caring for others pets to supplement my education and journalism career. Caring for dogs helps me feel grounded! I’m currently working remote and freelance writing from Tucson so I can be flexible with your pet care needs. I can travel throughout Pima County. I make sure to ask a lot of questions, know your dogs needs and routine before any commitment. I want to ensure it’s a good fit for everyone.

About: I've loved animals my entire life. I've owned, fostered, and nurtured a variety of different animals since I was a young girl. Animals make my heart happy! Everyone in our house absolutely adores animals and loving them is part of our norm. We love having new babies around to spoil with love because, well, we can’t adopt all of them! Loving them and sending them home is our next best option! I have a fenced yard and lots of kids to soak up all the snuggles! We have a variety of pets and they are all friends. I can keep pets separate if needed as well.

About: I’m open to last minute bookings. I’ve been petsetting since I was very young for all types of dogs, cats, etc. with various needs. Pets are family, and I intend to treat your pets as my own. I am fully available during the week and on weekends. I must stop at home periodically to care for my own cat. I can also do overnights. Early/late hours are good as well. Here to keep pets accompanied, occupied, cared for, loved, and respected by walking, playing, feeding, reenforcing training, snuggling, being present with and administering any required medication for the furry ones.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, dog-loving sitter who treats every pup like family—while also keeping routines, safety, and comfort a top priority. I’ve been caring for dogs for several years and have experience with all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies to laid-back seniors. I understand that every dog is different, so I take time to learn your dog’s routine, preferences, and quirks to help them feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. I currently live with my two well-socialized dogs, who are calm, friendly, and used to having canine guests. Your dog will never be left alone or ignored—I’m attentive, patient, and happy to match their energy whether that means playtime, walks, or quiet companionship. I live in a house with a yard where dogs can safely play or relax. I’m also happy to follow any leash, feeding, or medication instructions exactly as requested. I offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times and provide regular updates so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. 🐾 I only care for dogs (no cats). 📩 Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits into my routine easily-I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can provide plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor breaks. I can check in on your pup several times a day, or I’d be happy to care for them in my home. I also offer early morning and evening availability to accommodate pet parents with long work hours. I have two sweet Greyhounds to play with & keep your baby company. I love to cuddle on the couch or bed with the dogs. I’ll do whatever I can to make sure your pup is comfortable and safe.

About: Your pup will be barking up the RIGHT tree (NOT 🌵) with tail wagging walks and cozy snuggles and plenty of playtime in our spacious backyard. I'm a longtime dog lover and devoted dog mom to a sweet 5-year old goldendoodle named Henry (shhh, he still thinks he's a puppy). I totally understand the quirks that come with our furry friends. I'm all about creating a safe, happy environment where your pup feels right at home. Whether it's yard play, a stroll through the neighborhood, or just couch snuggles, I meet dogs where they are with calm energy, patience and lots of love. I've cared for everything from high-energy pups to those with a bit of separation anxiety. From zoomies to zen time, your dog's in good hands here. Reliable. Loving. A little goofy, in all the best ways. Let's make tails wag and noses boop! I work from home, which means I've got a super flexible schedule and plenty of time for tail wags and potty breaks! From morning walks to midday playtime to evening cuddles, I can adjust to whatever fits best with your pet's routine and your schedule. Creating a safe, comfortable environment is my top priority. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pup behind. I feel the same way with Henry all the time, which is why I go the extra mile to make sure every dog feels secure and cared for. I stick to familiar routines, provide lots of personalized attention and keep every space is calm, clean and pet-friendly. Your dog will be treated like family.
