Dog Walking Sam Hughes

About: I've taken care of a variety of pets since I was young. I have 5 years experience with taking care of both hairless and furry dogs. Through my own dog and watching my friends pets. I have handled anxious and hyper dogs before and will try and make your baby as comfortable as possible. I have experience with exotic pets such as rodents, birds and reptiles and can care for them during your time away as well. I am currently a university student and have weekends and various days during the week free to take care of yourself pets while you are gone. I can stay with your pets all day or do check ins twice a day. I am an attentive sitter and try to let dogs out every hour while making sure in the hot arizona weather that they don't burn their paws. I am also glad to do excursion dog sitting and can take them out for hikes and long walks as the weather cools down.

“Steve stepped in quickly when I suddenly needed surgery and time to recover. My dog waited anxiously by the door for four weeks because she knew she was in for an adventure every day, in the neighborhood or a local park. I really appreciated Steve's flexibility and extra assistance while I recovered.”

“Jenn was great with our yellow lab Zane, she walked him every day for a week and sent great photos. She’s extremely prompt in communication and we definitely hope to utilize her services regularly!”

About: I grew up with dogs of all kinds as well as cats my whole life and have done dog walking for the past 5 years and dog sitting for the past 4. I’m now a student who misses hanging out and going on long walks with her dog and would love to hang with your fur baby! I’m currently a student at the U of A and take my classes online so I have a super flexible schedule during the days and even on weekends! I can easily crate your dog if needed and am more than happy to send you photos and videos of your pet while on walks or when I check in if you’d like that!

About: Greetings! First, *I hold a up- to-date AZ fingerprint background clearance card (shown in photos) I have been pet caring and house/pet sitting for 7+ years now. I consider myself a caring and responsible pet sitter. I know that pets are family and require lots of love and attention. I have cared for many types of animals from snakes, birds, to dogs and lizards! Feel free to reach out to me if you have pets besides dogs, you can make a request and send me the details. When I housesit, I can check your mail and help with any plants as well! I also offer boarding in my studio casita home (crate-trained prefer, we can discuss) with a big fenced yard (a favorite sun bathing yard and lots of shade too) I as well offer dog walking, and drop-in visits, and your doggo will be the only pet in my home unless booking two pals together , so they get all my attention, walks, and love! I prefer friendly, non-aggresive dogs as it is a calm, safe environment for pets that enjoy a relaxed setting. I may not be the best fit for dogs with aggressive tendencies, as I want every stay to be safe and stress-free for all! Sometimes, Rover interface doesn't let me expand distance I may be able to house/dog sit. Any questions, feel free to reach out! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by to check out my profile! I currently work from home part -time with flexibilities. It gives me enough space to help out with pet/house sitting during different times and days! Generally, animals are family/friends in my eyes and mind. I love be able to be playful or be a comforting space depending on the animals needs. I am a reiki practitioner and massage therapist so I enjoy giving animals extra love if the animal feels safe to that or needs help calming down. Otherwise and in addition to, I pay attention to what the pet owner has to say and follow the guidelines to what is needed.

About: I’ve grown up with having a variety of pets. I currently have a dog and two cats and recently a gecko. I have house experience house/pet sitting for about a year now. I’m a college student home for the summer, so I am available most of the time. I am open to housesitting over weekends. I can make as many visits as your pet needs. I am comfortable caring for your pet exactly how you want and/or what you’re comfortable me doing. I am open to housesitting if need be.

About: Have been walking neighbors dogs for my whole life and dog/cat sit to earn the responsibility of getting my own! My baby is a german shepard/ pitbull mix and he's the sweetest ever. I have experience caring for dogs from the pima animal shelter and giving them the best day they can have. From scared shelter dogs to puppy's in their shark phase, I have loved and cared for them all. I love all breeds big or small and can't wait to meet yours!❤️🥹 I'm an online student at the UofA making my days super flexable. I love to go on long walks and would love to have a buddy. I first prioritize making your pet feel comfortable with a stranger in the home and letting them know i'm not a threat. I mainly let them sniff and approach me then pet them and exhibit calm and trustworthy energy but will also treat them if given permission by the owner. I am guilty of baby talking animals and can promise to show the most love and care to your fur baby.

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: My whole life has been around animals including 2-3 dogs in my household, caring for a guinea pig, and loving on my friends’ cats. We raised several dogs from 6 week old puppies to their senior years. Since moving out on my own I have had the opportunity to dog sit for all ages of pups. I have also always taken a special interest in volunteering at local animal shelters. I would love the chance to look after and love your animal like my own. I recently moved to the area and have time before my program starts. My days are all about learning the area and preparing for classes so my availability is extremely flexible. Would also love to build relationships that can continue once my program starts and I can be a regular part of your pets life. I have reliable transportation and can be available most times of day. Not currently offering in home service but could be flexible for returning clients!

“Ben is awesome. Totally reliable and did great with our 3 dogs, especially the Belgian Malinois, who is not the easiest dog to walk. He does a great job, highly recommend.”

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 also want to note that I am a full time college student, my schedule is below for more information. Just keep scrolling and you will see “schedule” section. Thank you :) 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!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was in elementary school. I grew up with golden retriever, golden doodles and border collies on our farm. Now I have my own golden retriever and bernedoodle that are my best companions. We love to go on long walks and travel to all the state and national parks! I’m happy to take dog walking clients on weekends and holidays. I work Monday through Thursday otherwise normal business hours in the clinic from 7-5. I love playing fetch with the pups and cuddle time. I like to do basic training such as sit, stay, roll over, lay down. My bernedoodle is high energy so I’m used to exercising dogs and taking long walks.

About: I worked at a boarding business for about a year and a half for dogs and cats. I worked with all different sizes and breeds, and ages of dogs and cats. My job tittle including playing and cuddling with the animals, feeding the animals, cleaning where they stayed, and giving medicine to the animals that required it. I have a little more than basic knowledge of dogs and cats health and always try to stay up to date with that. I dog sit and cat sit for friends and families regularly aswell. I have always grown up around animals and if you were to ask anyone who knows me they will say I have always wanted to work with animals since I knew what a job was. I am currently a college student and am majoring in wildlife conservation, while that's not specifically a major for cats and animals I still have and will learn a lot about those species as well!! I currently don't have a job so my schedule is really open. I work out everyday usually in the mornings to early afternoons. But I have a very flexible schedule! I have a fenced backyard just under 2acres of land. So it is very spacious for bigger dogs to run around in! I am able to walk dogs for however long.

“Isabella walked my energetic Aussie on 3 different days while I was out of town. She was reliable and timely and very communicative. You’ll be happy with her service.”

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My first dog was a Chihuahua who lived to be 18, so I learned a lot about caring for senior dogs and making sure they stay comfortable as they grow older. I've also grown up around horses and farm animals, and I even had a leopard gecko for a couple years. Most of my friends and family have dogs too, so I've spent plenty of time around all kinds of personalities and energy levels. Being around animals has always been something I enjoy! I'm a full time college student, so I have lots of extra time to care for your beloved companions! I have my own transportation and extremely flexible times. I live in an apartment with my Belgian Malinois, so I know firsthand how important exercise, structure, and routine can be, especially for high-energy dogs! I'm very organized and always do my best to stick to each pet's normal schedule so they feel comfortable and at home.

About: I am currently an Animal Science major. I have 3 rabbits, two dogs and three cats back at home. I love working with animals so much that I hope to make a living doing so. I would love the opportunity to take care of your furry friends while you're away. I'm currently a full time student but am done by 11 am Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and free all day on the weekends. If needed I can make time to check on your furry friends the other week days. I have two dogs, three cats, and two rabbits at home. In the past I've taken care of ferries who had medical conditions, so if your pet needs something medicine related, id be willing to help.

About: What sets me apart is my professional experience working at a doggy daycare, where I manage multiple dog breeds, sizes, and temperaments daily. This hands-on role has trained me to expertly read pet body language, prioritize safety, and confidently care for both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets. I also provide dedicated drop-in care for cats, ensuring your feline friends get the precise feeding, litter box maintenance, and attention they need. I am highly comfortable reinforcing training commands, managing leash pullers, and following strict care routines. With my professional background, you can rest assured your dogs and cats will be safe, happy, and well-loved! Even as a college student with a part-time job, I maintain a highly flexible schedule that allows me to easily adapt to your pet's regular routine! I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-ins, and walks, and I love structuring my day around making sure your pup gets the attention they deserve. Just let me know what specific timeline works best for your family, and I am happy to coordinate my routine to ensure your pet is fully cared for. Safety is my top priority on every walk. I always stay aware of my surroundings and follow any special instructions from pet owners. I make sure dogs stay in safe areas, avoid hazards, and get the right amount of exercise based on their needs. Trust and comfort are key, so I take the time to make each dog feel at ease while ensuring they have a fun and safe experience.

About: I have taken care of both puppies and adult dogs. I have a flexible schedule and can drop by more than once daily if needed! I’m retired and have an open schedule. I can do multiple visits daily if needed. I also have the flexibility to do longer visits if needed to provide socialization and comfort for your pet! I don’t have the ability to care for pets in my home, but I’m available to go to my clients’ homes as frequently as needed. My policy is to be very respectful of my client’s space while spending quality time with their pets! I can accomodate any special needs and I follow instructions well!
