Dog Walking Riverside

About: I’ve had pets my entire life. My family had a two high energy dogs growing up and even from a young age I would enjoy caring for the two of them. After they passed, I volunteered at my local humane society, working mainly with dogs. When I was about 17, I convinced my family to adopt a puppy. I taught him basic commands, potty training, and basic leash skills. I currently own a cat who is equal parts sweetheart and menace. Being tasked with raising a kitten turned out to have a massive learning curve, but he is absolutely spoiled with playtime, toys, and treats. He is currently being leash trained and we’re working on anxiety associated with his crate. I am extremely flexible since I am in a hybrid program for classes, so all of my didactic/classroom work is fully online and accessible from anywhere and anytime! I do work Friday mornings from 8am-12pm and may not be available some weekends since I work every third weekend minimum. Otherwise, I’m completely flexible and will always try to work with you! I care for all pets with love and respect. The main goal is to establish trust with new pets by allowing them to approach me with interest on their own terms, even if it takes a while. Providing pets with playtime and attention is a priority after their daily basic needs are met. I believe in gentle correction or making an activity more interesting with treats or a favorite toy when a pet is acting up or disinterested.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. I have a husky of 6 years that is practically a cat in a dog’s body. I personally get very anxious when leaving my furry friends for trips, so I know how important it is to send pictures and updates of how your fur baby is doing. 9 times out of 10 I am the person in the corner playing with the dog at social events, so I will make sure your pets are well entertained and having a good time! I am a newly licensed Cosmetologist and am currently attending Mesa Community College to get my Associates degree in Beauty & Wellness. My classes are online, so I have a very flexible schedule. Right now I am only taking house sitting requests for long weekends for ex Fri-Mon. Besides that I am open for everything else. I have a husky that has severe separation anxiety, so I will make sure that your pets are calm, safe, & sound even if that means sitting on the floor with them for hours. When taking care of multiple pets at once, I am very aware of my surroundings and making sure that everyone is getting along and having fun.

About: I have always loved being around dogs and have plenty of hands on experience caring for them. I regularly pet sit for dogs in my building and take them on walks, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I also have a golden retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very comfortable with the energy, patience, and responsibility that comes with taking care of a dog. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Im currently an online student and so im usually pretty free which provides me with a lot of time to hang out with the dogs! I live in a nice apartment and my building has a pet play area that’s always empty and a place for them to run around as well as a lot of trails for long walks!

About: Hi there! I'm Selina, a young professional who has 20 years of experience in caring for pets. Be it dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, hamsters - my family always made sure to keep me busy. :) I'm an artist and have a professional camera, so if you give me your okay, I might send your pet home with some cute new pictures or a painting of them (for free of course!!) if I have the time! I have experience handling dogs of all sizes. I love and can handle any size your furbaby comes in, be it a Cane Corso or a Chihuahua. 🐾 My family also has extensive history caring for cats for years and years. I've cared for them all - the feisty introverts who prefer to be left alone, as well as the snuggly lovebugs who need cuddles every few minutes. Let me know about their personalities so I can best meet their needs! 🐈‍⬛️ Your family members will be loved on and treated as family members of my own while they're in my care. I live in an apartment, but have a private huge gated dog park within my complex, as well as access to really pretty walk areas nearby. Right down the street we have a pretty pond where my own dog and I like to go watch the fish and turtles while having a picnic. :) If your pet requires any additional care such as medicine or has special needs, that is no problem at all. I have experience handling reactive dogs as well. Just let me know what they need and I'll be able to provide! :) I work a hybrid schedule, meaning I typically work from home Monday and Friday. 💻 I can take boarding requests from Tuesday-Thursday if your pet is okay with being left alone for a few hours. I have a fenced dog park in my complex so your pup and I can have safe play time! I have a dog of my own who LOVES other dogs. If you need me to separate your dog from mine for your comfort, that is entirely possible as I have a spare room to use. My dog is currently in a training program though, so she's not home at the moment.

“Ariel did a great job walking my pup when I had to be gone for most of the day! She was punctual, and very sweet with him. I would use her again!”

“Kaylie is amazing she took care of my huskies for 2 weeks while I was overseas. the pups love her, she is the only one I trust when I’m gone, specially for such a long time. She is very punctual and great communicating the dog’s status and needs.”

Felipe R.

“Yanssel goes above and beyond to ae sure my big dig is safe, loved and well taken care of. She always sends plenty if pictures and communicates very thoroughly if something seems off. Yanssel is very trustworthy around my pets and in my home alone. Would recommend 100%.”

About: I’ve had my Maltipoo since I was 12 and he’s been with me through every thing even college so I understand the difficulty of finding someone you trust to watch your fur babies. He doesn’t have any eyes and hasn’t for the last 4 years so that’s an added challenge and I want to be able to provide others with quality dog watching they can trust just like I look for when hiring someone for my dog. I’ve been dog sitting for about 10 years and can provide references. I’ve been flown to different states to house and dog sit for families because they knew they could trust me. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule so it makes it easy to provide care for different schedules and needs! I have a fenced yard with a pool and considering my dog can’t see I’m typically supervising outside time and my other dog is very anxious to be alone so I am used to being there when pets are outside. My home is dog friendly considering I have 2 dogs myself, one small dog and one medium dog. Both dogs get along well with people and other dogs and have had dogs stay with us and we haven’t had issues yet!

About: With over 10 years of experience and a lifetime of growing up around dogs, I offer loving, reliable, and personalized care. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs—whether it’s a playful puppy learning the ropes or a senior needing extra patience and comfort. I’m attentive, trustworthy, and treat every dog like part of the family. You can count on me to keep your pup happy, safe, and loved while you're away. Caring for pets is a natural part of my everyday life. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give each dog the time and attention they deserve—whether it's for morning walks, playtime, feeding, or just some cuddle time. I plan my days around the needs of the pets in my care, making sure they stay on their routine and feel comfortable and secure. For me, pet care isn’t just a task—it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, playtime, and routine. I follow feeding, walk, and medication schedules closely to keep your pet on track. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and stick to their normal routines to reduce stress. I also keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages, so you always know your furry friend is in loving hands.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats ever since I was able to be left home alone. Often times taking care of my parent’s pets, most of whom were energetic labs, over weekends while my parents were out of town. Into adulthood I’ve continued to take care of my parent’s and friend’s animals. I’ve volunteered at my hometown’s Humane Society taking care of animals from puppies and kittens to seniors. I am a responsible person who will make sure that your baby is well looked for and will provide a safe and comforting experience for them while they are in my care. I currently work part time in the evenings and weekends. Making my schedule perfect for when you need a sitter while you’re at work! I also have a few gaps a few weeks in the year where I can be more available for your pet! Not only have I pet sit before but I’ve also house sat a few times. I will treat your home with the upmost respect and can even water a few plants on top of pet care! I’m comfortable being alone with numerous pets of all sizes and will treat their space with care.

About: I have taken care and loved animals for my entire life. I had an 18 year old pomeranian yorkie that i took care of until he passed, so I have experience with senior dogs. I also frequently take care of my friends and families puppies so I am used to handling training puppies. I work a traditional 9-5 job, but I am able to do drop in visits or board over the weekend. I do not currently have a dog, so it gives me freedom to bring dogs in to my household. I am a very passionate and attentive caretaker. I make sure I am well equipped so that the animals have a great experience staying in my home.

About: I have been caring for dogs since my sophomore year of high school, gaining experience with everything from training energetic puppies to supporting the unique needs of senior dogs. I am Pet CPR certified, comfortable administering medications, and skilled at providing safe, attentive, and loving care tailored to each dog’s personality and needs. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I am currently in school and only have in-person classes Monday through Wednesday. This gives me plenty of flexibility and availability throughout the rest of the week, including weekends, to dedicate time to caring for pets and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they need. I live in a dog-friendly apartment where pets are welcome and safe, and I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in my home. When visiting clients’ homes, I am always respectful of their space and follow their routines closely. I’m also happy to accommodate extra requests, like watering plants or bringing in mail, to help give peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I’ve had all types of pet dogs (small, medium, large) that I’ve learned how to take care of. I have been paid to watch and clean family members dogs in the past. I am young so I am able to do more labor. I am able to give dogs oral medication, and have experience using medicinal creams on dogs. I am able to (and love to!) play with dogs to make sure they have fun. I am no squeamish with cleaning up after animal mistakes, and I can care for multiple dogs as once including puppies and seniors! I’m soon to be enrolled in college full time. I can care for pets over weekends for the full day, and Friday’s after 10 am!! Until school starts though, (August 9th) I am free every day at every time!! If needed, I can watch animals at my mom’s house which has a nice, fenced backyard to play in along with 3 others dogs and 2 cats. (Will mention, one cat is more fiesty with other animals, but i will be putting her in a separate space, and the most she could do is claw) I don’t think I would recommend my mom’s home for seniors or puppies due to an overstimulating environment and a 5 year old.

About: I’ve had a Yorkie named Cooper since I was young and he currently lives with my parents back in Cleveland. I love dogs so much and I believe you should take care of dogs like you do your kids! I work fully remote, so I will be at home and play with the dogs all day! I will show them love and be able to feed them and take them to the bathroom whenever they need it! I also have a dog park at my apartment and a park in walking distance! I will play or walk the dogs whenever they need it, I love to exercise and move around! They will never not be shown love!

About: Hi! I used to take my family member's dog's on walks growing up, even sitted several times. I absolutely love animals and I am more than happy to keep them company, play with them, and take them on walks or to the dog park while you're out of town! I have open availability after 2 pm, with exception on Tuesday & Wednesday (open availability), just let me know when you’ll need me and I can make something work! While I’m staying in your home, I can also do some chores around the house--get the mail, take out the trash, wash dishes, pick up poop in the backyard, etc. I will follow all instructions given for feeding, giving medication, walks, etc. I am also very happy to just hang out at your house with your pets if that's what you/they prefer. I have a full time job but I still make time to play with my roommates dog at home. I love to take dogs on walks and it also helps that this keeps me productive throughout the day. All care needs must be discussed in advance and will mostly depend on the needs of the pets and the resources offered by the family.

About: I’ve taken care of family friends and neighbors pets for years! I have watched every animal - from dogs and cats to lizards and snakes, and love every moment of it. I’ve always had pets at home and I love fur-babies more than anything! I have trained 3 puppies and around 5 kittens! I am currently a college student, but with my schedule, I am able for walking or check-ins almost any time of the week! Weekends are completely open besides Sundays 12-2. I always ensure that my clients homes look better than I found it! I understand everyone has a different way of raising their animals and I respect any training or specifications given to me. I am comfortable with just about anything for pets!
