Dog Walking Riverside

About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and have been dog sitting for family and friends since my junior year of high school. I have experience with both large breeds, like German Shepherds, and small dogs. I’ve done everything from short check-ins while owners are at work to week-long stays. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who truly cares, and I treat every dog I watch with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m currently a student at Arizona State University with classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Outside of that, I have a flexible schedule and can adjust my routine to accommodate pet care. On weekends, I usually work on school assignments, which I’m able to do from anywhere, allowing me to provide attentive and consistent care. I currently provide pet care in my client’s home to ensure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any household routines. I prioritize safety by keeping doors secured, monitoring pets closely during walks, and maintaining a clean, calm space. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.

“2nd time booking with Bella but this time I booked very last minute. Thank goodness she was pretty flexible! My pup has a high energy levels so these walks help a whole lot to tire him out. Bella is very sweet and nice—10/10 recommend.”

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’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 have a PRN position at a children’s hospital, so I have plenty of time to check in on your baby/babies. I work a short Monday shift from 12-4PM. I have a hybrid pharmacy schedule, so I am able to attend classes from wherever I am. 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.

“Susi continues to provide thorough and loving care to Chancellor. She bought him a ball, trains him with various walking techniques and works on difficult behaviors he has during play. I could not be more grateful for Susi coming into our lives! It feels good to have your animal in the care of someone you trust.”

About: I grew up with a brindle boxer who was truly part of my family, and losing her a couple years ago was one of the hardest things I’ve gone through. Since then, I’ve been fostering dogs through the Humane Society, everything from shy rescues to energetic puppies. Ive fostered dogs that had kennel cough to dogs that needed to gain weight after being rescued from horrible conditions. Fostering taught me how to handle different personalities, build trust with nervous dogs, and give each pet the patience and love they need. Caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I bring that same level of attention and compassion to every pet I watch. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine. I’m available most days and fully flexible, I'm pursuing a degree and have class Tuesday and Thursday from 9am–12pm, but I’m available the rest of the day and all other days of the week. This gives me a very flexible schedule for walks, drop‑ins, and house sitting. I plan my day around pet care, so your dog always gets consistent attention, timely visits, and plenty of love. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I follow all instructions exactly, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure your dog is never put in an unsafe situation. I’m calm, patient, and experienced with foster dogs, so I know how to handle different personalities and energy levels. I always double‑check leashes, harnesses, and feeding routines, and I keep a close eye on your pet during every visit. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.

About: I’ve been around and caring for pets for as long as I can remember. I have 6 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m currently a full-time college student, so my schedule is mostly based around my classes. I have plenty of free time outside of class and am available for pet sitting, walks, and check-ins throughout the week and on weekends. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I have experience caring for pets and will follow your routine, instructions, and any special needs closely. I also have cats of my own that I absolutely love!

“Ashley arrived promptly and followed all instructions getting into the apartment for my 14 year old madam Biba … Biba would take Ashley for her walk and Ashley was lovely to be patient, Ashley also sent photos everyday of Biba loving her early morning walks. I highly recommend her and will be using her when we get back after the summer break.”

About: I’m a friendly, calm pet walker who genuinely does this for the animals. As a vegan, I’m big on kindness and gentle, respectful care—so your dog or cat gets the comfort, patience, and attention they need. I offer dog walks and cat-friendly drop-ins, with reliable check-ins and a calm approach that helps pets feel safe. I have over a life time of love and experience for our furry friends. I am also experienced with older dogs and administering any medication needed.P.S I love plants, and if you’d like help while you’re away, I can take care of your greenery with simple watering and light checks. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your babies and care for them like my own. I’m available in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. Friendly, calm pet care for dogs and cats—walks and drop-ins. I prioritize safety, follow your routine, stay aware of the environment, and provide attentive plant care.

About: Hello!! My name is Brooklynn and I've been watching animals since I was 14 and absolutely love it. I'm a biology graduate student which allows me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I have lots of experience with both puppies and nervous rescues, and am happy to take care of any other pets too. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets :) In addition to adult dogs, I have experience watching puppies that are currently in training. If you need a sitter who can practice training/potty skills with patience, I have to experience to help keep up those skills while you're away. And a little fun fact about me: I'm actually getting my PhD in evolutionary biology right now studying nonhuman primates. My lab also studies dog aging and social behavior. Overall I really just an am animal lover and have decided to pursue that in my career. I can't wait to come meet your pets! I'm currently a graduate student at ASU, and my schedule is very flexible. I occasionally have meetings on campus, but a lot of my work can be done from any place with wifi! When I care for dogs overnight I will stay in my clients house for the duration of their trip. This usually makes anxious animals a lot more comfortable while their owners are away, which is always important to me! If the dogs are used to being walked, I make sure to keep up with their walking schedule and get them plenty of exercise.

About: My experience caring for family pets began at 16 years old. A noteworthy pet sitting involved caring for a household with one female dog, her six newly born puppies, two adolescent dogs, and a senior dog for a week and a half. I believe this highs shows my ability to handle diverse pet household needs. Also, I have gained some experience in pet care for cats since October 2023. I work 12-hour shifts from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and every other Wednesday. I am available every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, along with every other Wednesday. I can inform you if I have that week's Wednesday off or not when you send your request. As a pet owner of a dog and a cat, I understand that each pet requires a unique approach to their daily habits and needs. I will stand by your instructions for the care of your pet(s), with the consideration I expect when others care for my own pets when I'm away. I hold no judgment over their care needs.

About: Hi! My name is Izzy, and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both cats and dogs and have spent most of my life caring for them, fostering them, and learning what they need to feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve worked professionally with animals at a vet clinic for about 6 months and at two different kennels for a total of about two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets of all personalities and needs. During this time I learned how to properly handle feeding routines, recognize when pets need bathroom breaks or litter box changes, and administer medications when needed. I’ve also fostered both cats and dogs throughout my life, which has taught me patience, compassion, and how to help animals adjust to new environments. Currently, I have a pet of my own who I absolutely adore and care for every day. Outside of pet care, I’m a fitness instructor, so I love staying active and spending time outdoors. Long walks, playtime, and getting pets moving is something I truly enjoy. But I also appreciate the quiet side of pet care—relaxing on the couch, giving pets attention, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Living with and caring for animals has shown me how important they are in our lives. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and make sure they feel happy, safe, and well taken care of while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible, which allows me to fit pet care easily into my week. I currently work part-time Thursday and Friday nights and attend school Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Outside of those times, I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime. I’m happy to stop by once or twice a day to make sure pets are cared for and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 I have two cats of my own, so I’m unable to host other pets in my home. However, I’m happy to come to your home to provide care. This can include walks and playtime for dogs, and feeding, playtime, and litter care for cats, typically twice a day. but more if needed! I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and happy in their own environment while you’re away. I can easily follow directions when it comes to something specific and i am happy to accommodate to the needs of your pet and make sure they are provided for.

“Elizabeth does an excellent job of taking Cara on her daily walks.”

About: I've been hosting dogs & cats through Rover.com for several years now, and it's been a tremendously rewarding experience. While I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, I have only 2 cats right now. They both like dogs, especially my leash-trained therapy cat who likes everybody. The cats are never aggressive, but a very high-energy impolite dog could get a left-hook if they're not careful. Calmer dogs used to cats are a great fit. Take your next vacation with peace of mind; knowing your pooch is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention and playtime! I have yet to have a guest that didn’t bond to me almost immediately…it’s like they can sense that I am an easy source of belly rubs and treats! While I have plenty of amateur training experience with dogs and cats, I am in the process of earning a "Good Pup" training certification through Rover, so for a limited time am offering some basic obedience training with boarding or daycare. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have about my home, experience, or schedule. I work from my home office during the week, and extra canine/feline company is always welcomed. I have a small fenced-in yard for potty breaks whenever the need arises. There's usually no problem accommodating specific daily feeding/walk schedules with some advance notice. Your furry children will be very comfortable in my North Tempe town-home, where I live alone in a conveniently located 'dog-friendly' neighborhood near Papago Park. Many of my guests drop off and pick up on the way to/from Sky Harbor Airport, which is about 15 minutes away (about 5.5 miles). I'm within walking distance of the local dog park, if that's something you & your dog are comfortable with.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 10 years, from walks and drop-ins to week-long overnight stays. I’m active, dependable, and passionate about giving every pet the love, attention, and care they deserve! 🐾❤️ While I am currently looking for a full-time job. I am flexible with weekly and daily schedules and just love to help out my community. I can help crate dogs if needed be instructed from you, as well I will keep a watchful eye on your pets whenever we are out or walking around. I just want to make sure your pets are having fun and safe!
