Dog Walking Sam Hughes

“Logan responded quickly to my request to walk my dog while I was gone over labor day weekend. Logan was easy to communicate with and my dog was very well taken care of!”

About: Hi! I've had my cat Olive for 11 years and my dog Bel for 3 years. I have also taken care of close to 70 foster animals mostly kittens, with a few medical fosters, and behavioral issues along the way. I have taken courses on behavioral training for dogs as my own dog is reactive towards dogs, so I am very familiar with dog reactivity. I currently run a small 1 man business from my home and have control over my schedule to provide care to other animals regularly. I also foster other animals from time to time. My own dog is reactive and high energy and needs 3 walks a day usually with a lot of play. My cat is a large maincoon that requires a strict diet and care regimen to keep her pre-diabetes in check.

About: I have hands-on experience fostering rescue dogs for the past two years—especially puppies. I’ve helped rehabilitate malnourished, abandoned dogs and guided them into loving forever homes. My own dog is a foster fail I nursed back to health at just 2 months old after she was found on the street. Since then, I’ve fostered an entire litter of five puppies, all of whom were successfully adopted. I specialize in caring for young dogs and have a deep understanding of their needs—whether it’s feeding, socializing, crate training, or just giving them the love and patience they deserve. That said, I truly adore dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m currently studying from home, so your dog will never be left alone, and I live near two fully fenced parks for safe, fun playtime. Since I’m studying from home, I have the flexibility and time to give dogs my full attention throughout the day. My own dog has set a great routine for me—morning walks, playtime in the nearby fenced parks, feeding, training moments, and lots of cuddles in between. I love staying active and making sure dogs are both mentally and physically stimulated. Whether it’s short potty breaks, long sniffy walks, or just hanging out together while I study, caring for dogs blends seamlessly into my day. In my home, pets have a cozy and safe environment to relax and play. I have a crate available for those who are crate-trained or need a quiet space to rest, along with plenty of toys to keep them entertained. I also have access to two fully fenced parks just a short walk away, perfect for playtime and exercise, plus a fenced front porch for fresh air and people-watching in a safe spot. I keep a clean, calm space and follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that means meal schedules, medications, or snuggle time. Your dog will be treated like one of my own!

“Sarah was amazing! She was interactive with my pups and patient and willing to come out and meet them and get to know their personalities. Will definitely be using her in the future.”

About: I have fostered 8 dogs (so far!) and helped them find homes. Caring for dogs of different ages, temperaments and needs has taught me so much. I have experience with both dogs and cats (and birds and fish!). I work as a substitute teacher, giving me flexibility to take pet-sitting jobs on short notice. I am also available for overnight pet-sitting and longer house-sitting bookings. As a dog foster, I have learned to be exceptionally careful with new dogs. Respecting their space, while being friendly and encouraging. Taking extra precautions when leaving the house or letting them out into the yard. I understand that change and new people can be stressful to a dog and am careful to avoid additional stressors. I feel immense responsibility for the pets in my care, as well as other pets and people we encounter on walks. I also want the dogs to have fun and relax when we are at home. I really enjoy getting to know new dogs and hope they see me as a new friend ☺️

About: I have experience taking care of boarding dogs and cats at an animal hospital. I worked for them for a little over a year and have gotten lots of experience with dogs and cats. I used to raise puppies and train them how to sit and have manners for about two years with my parent. I have dog sitting experience and house sitting experience. I am currently going to school at the UofA full time during the weekdays (my class schedule is listed below keep reading) and would be available most days to come and play with the animals for 30 minutes to an hour in the afternoons and overnight sitting. And on weekends I would be free to play with and walk the animals as needed. Class schedule: Mon 1pm-2pm Tue 9:30am-1pm then 3pm-5pm Wed 9am-2pm then 4pm-5pm Thur 9:30am-4pm Fri 1pm-2pm I do also have a job at the animal shelter for part time. That work schedule will vary but will be no more the 4-6 hours a day. Likely to be on the weekends to avoid conflict with school :) For my personal home, I will not be able to board any pets. Although I am very safe and responsible. My person pet uses a crate just for her safety when I am gone. I am good with crate training as needed for your pets as well. I make sure I clean up after every day and leave the house as clean as I can before you arrive back home to your happy animals!

“Mikayla is very reliable and professional. Luke has enjoyed his long walks. It usually takes a few walks for him to relax with a new person walking him but he seems to have taken a quick liking to Mikayla!”

About: I have been a babysitter for 5 years and during that time have taken up dog walking and cat/dog sitting for the families I babysat for. Right now I have no other job and am on summer break from college so I have all the time available to work on Rover. I am vigilant with pets so no escaping on my watch, I love animals so I am very attentive. I have owned multiple pets of my own as well.

“Stephanie was very responsive and did a great job of updating me during and after my dog’s walks. She was super kind and friendly and does so well with dogs, Quill loved her! I would definitely book with her again.”

“Azul loves Rachel she walks at her pace and Rachel is very responsible. Azul seems happy when she comes back home and when Rachel comes to pick her up for her walk Azul is very happy.”

About: I have been a licensed massage therapist for 12 years. My skills have overflowed into treating animals big, small and in between sizes (horses, dogs, cats, rats). I learned to communicate with animals by learning to read their body language and energy. With this skill, I have trained 5 dogs to use the treadmill, 1 cat to use the toilet, and 1 dog to pass his good canine certificate. I enjoy working with animals slightly more than humans...shhh don't tell my human clients :) I am self employed as a Licensed Massage Therapist and I make my own schedule. I treat animals as well. I can adjust my schedule as needed. During the winter I prioritize my human clients which still allows me to overnight sit. During the summer I have more time to provide play dates and walks. As of now, I only accept overnight sits at the owners home. I have a valid Arizona Level 1 Fingerprint Clearance Card, issued by the AZ Dept. of Public Safety for my work as a Licensed Massage Therapist and for my volunteer work in Hospice. I combine my experience and intuition in observing how the owners respond to their pets and incorporate what the animal is familiar with. I bring my ability to communicate through body language and energy to create a calming presence. I ask clarifying questions. I know owners want the best for their pets!

“Melissa took such great care of my dog, gave detailed updates after each walk and plenty of pictures, and worked with me to manage his separation anxiety. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt safe and loved while I was gone. Will definitely be using Melissa again!”

“Ricky was great with walking my golden retriever! He was polite and professional and sent lots of pictures of Romeo. I felt good throughout my work day knowing that Romeo was being taken care of!”

“Parker took excellent care of Baloo during drop-in visits. He did a great job of following my list of pretty extensive instructions, and spent extra time keeping my anxious boy company. I received daily photos of a happy dog! I will not hesitate to book with Parker and Alysa again.”

“Ben is reliable and great with my dog! Ben follows my requests for how Myron needs to learn to walk and Myron always comes home happy. I'm glad we found Ben, he's really helped us out with walking Myron, who has a lot of puppy energy that can be overwhelming. Ben just stays calm and makes sure Myron is following the rules.”
