Dog Walking Skies West

“So happy we found Natalie! She’s super sweet and you can clearly tell she loves the animals she is caring for. Always on time, reached out if she had questions and provided follow up notes after each visit.”

“Thanks for walking Sally! Could tell she was comfortable with Kailey and relaxed afterwards.”

“Pogo loved Jennifer. She is so kind and caring and dependable. Pogo is full of life and can be a handful at the door, excited to see Jennifer, and she was able to handle settling him down and getting his harness and leash on easily. He looked forward to her coming to walk him twice a day. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone needing someone to assist with dog walking.”

About: I give your pets attention and affection, keeping them comfortable while you’re away. I send pictures most days to assure you all is well. My services include house-sitting, so your pets stay home where they’re comfortable. I have decades of experience with a variety of breeds. Let’s talk about what worries you and we’ll find a solution everyone is happy with! I’d prefer to visit your pets before securing the booking, to make sure we all get along. I am self employed and pet care is one of the ways I earn my living. I also work remotely for some of my clients and use the wi-fi to get tasks done. I have been house/pet sitting for decades. I treat your home as if I was a welcome guest, but not a part of the household. Over the years, I’ve had jobs where I was bonded for security, which means I have a clean record. I’ve been entrusted with confidential & proprietary information. I’ve adhered to HIPAA rules without breaking a sweat. I am trustworthy and friendly. I have a silly sense of humor and have skewed streaming algorithms with binging scifi. I’ve lived in the extremes of rural to urban environments. I can greet & thank people in ten languages. My idea of a party is a bowl of ice cream and a movie (sci-fi, British drama). Before we book anything, I’d like to stop by the house and give the critter(s) a chance to get a good look/smell of me and you can give me the lay of the land. Housesitting: I’m being hired to keep the critter(s) company, and that’s what I do. Nana comes to visit and keeping the house safe and the animal(s) safe and happy is my primary duty. My habit is to bring my own supplies, so when you get home, everything is how you left it. I have a ukulele and I sing familiar covers, so I’ll mention it now in case the neighbors mention something about it. (I have yet to have a dog howl as I sang, though the huskies were very talkative.) Drop-In: Depending on our discussion during the Meet & Greet, I will swing by your house according to the schedule we’ve set up. I will make sure the water is fresh and the food bowl has plenty of food. (My job is to make sure the animal(s) know they are being cared for and that they don’t have to stress about whether or not they will starve to death - I’m thinking of cats especially here who see the bottom of the food bowl and start to panic. Not on my watch!) Walk: I’ll be at your house at the time(s) we’ve discussed, put on the collar and leash, and set out on the adventure. My habit is to sing as I walk so that any other critter has a chance to get out of sight - a lesson learned by startling a skunk. It is important that I know if the neighborhood is friendly or if folks keep to themselves. Do(es) the dog(s) visit friends on the trail? or should I keep them on their own?

About: In college I was a house and pet sitter. I have had pets since I was in elementary school and am now a senior. I currently have three dogs of my own. I’m emotionally intelligent and good to work with. I work a half day as an Occupational Therapist educator in Wednesdays and as an OT practitioner on Fridays. I would be available in the afternoons on these days. I will not take care of pets in my home but am happy to come to yours to care for, walk, pet and feed your fur babies.

About: "I've taken care of dog's and cats of every kind i have fostered through the city of Albuquerque for years and have my own dog's and cats.

“Ethanee has been sitting/walking my oliver since he was two months old. He ADORES her and I’m so grateful for her care. She’s attentive, kind, communicative, punctual and respectful of my home/care requests for him. I will use her as long as her schedule allows!”

“We all love our pets and in Lucy's care I can rest assured that my dog Max is well taken care of and in great hands!! He might even like her more than he likes me but that's ok.”

“Bill did a wonderful job walking Callie every day. She usually doesn’t just go off with somebody new that she’s never met. But she really liked Bill from the start. The whole week went very well. Bill is a very kind man with a warm heart toward animals. I will definitely use him again when I need somebody to watch Callie or to walk her.”

“Faris is absolutely amazing with our two dogs, Benzo and Sasha! They love him so much and get so excited whenever they see him. Every time they come back from a walk, they’re happy, relaxed, and completely tired out — which is exactly what we want! Faris is reliable, caring, and clearly loves spending time with dogs. We always feel comfortable knowing Benzo and Sasha are in good hands. We highly recommend Faris to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and great with their pets!”

Angelo M.

“Marcus is truly an exceptional dog walker and person! He took great care of our dog and was especially observant and careful on hot days—he came very early in the morning and always took care to make sure she was ok. He left great, detailed reviews and was always happy to help with any concerns—he truly goes above and beyond! Our dog loves him and we look forward to working with Marcus whenever possible!”

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life. Since I was 12, it’s been my responsibility to take care of our English Setter. This began with me helping to train him. My role was to reinforce the lessons taught at the PetSmart classes. I’ve regularly walked, bathed, and taken to the vet our dog as well. I love animals of all kinds and care a lot about giving them the loving attention they deserve. I currently work part time 6 days a week, with Sundays off. I work from home, and regularly have mornings and early afternoons completely available. I have more than enough time for several appointments just about every day of the week. At the moment I do not own any pets, as my landlord does not allow it. I am unable to provide any services that would require my home. But I’ve lived with and cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, with great regularly since I was 12. I know what I’m doing when it comes to our furry companions. I’d love to provide walks, visits, and any other services I can.

“Hector has been a fantastic dog walker for Dolly. She adores him and looks forward to their walks. Hector is consistently prompt and flexible with scheduling, making it easy to coordinate even on busy days. Highly recommend his services! He is reliable, caring, and a great fit for Dolly!”

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs and cats since I was 8. Neighbors, friends, and coworkers have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and entertain their pets. I currently work full time but am available 24/7 on the weekends. During the week, I can walk/feed/play morning and evening around my work schedule. I understand all pets are different and that their needs vary. I am flexible and willing to accommodate any special needs that your pet may have.

I’m currently working a part-time job at a holistic and grooming pet food store, and can care for pets during the weekdays while I’m off Sundays, Monday, Tuesday, and every other Wednesday from the mornings to the evenings. I care for them by loving on them and spoiling them like they are my own, fot example my rottie that’s at home. I have so much love for animals that it is my career field after all. I will feed them, walk them, make sure they get daily exercise, and play time, as well as seniors if they have any severe joint problems I can help massage and make them feel better.

About: I’ve grown up loving animals however I’ve had three years of hands on experience at a pet boarding hotel, where I've done everything from leading daycare to caring for shy cats and running the front desk. I'm Pet CPR and First Aid certified, I can handle medications and special meal routines, and I'm especially patient with nervous or fear aggressive pets. I also love working with every life stage from energetic babies to seniors who need a gentle touch. Both kitty friends and doggy friends receive the same extent of care from me even if the plan & routines are vastly different. No matter the species or age your furry family members will be in safe hands. I'm available all day Monday through Sunday just let me know what you need and I'll make it work! Whether it's daily drop ins or overnight stays I'm happy to fit into your schedule. I want to make things as comfortable as possible for you and your pets. Being in someone else's home means respecting their space and boundaries which I absolutely do. Before any drop ins or overnight stays, I like to do a trial day where we meet for about an hour in your home, just hanging out. That way your pets can get used to me being in their space, and you can walk me through their routine, any care questions, or concerns you have. It's all about making sure everyone feels at ease from the start.

About: I have had pets ever since I was 3 years old, I am now 20 and have lots of experience with taking care of them. I have also trained my dogs with the basics like, potty training, any tricks, simple house training etc. I am very experienced to take wonderful care of your fur babies and their needs. With my own pets I take care of them morning to night. I am home most of the time so I do spend time with them a lot but when I do leave my house I make sure they went outside before leaving and have plenty of water and food while I am gone. I always walk the dogs, follow any instructions that's given to me for the dogs care, eating habits, wash days, times to go out, and everyday I play with my own dogs keeping them active running around the yard and having plenty of toys. I also tidy up the house, sometimes with our fur babies the house can be a mess with toys all over and them shedding all the time so I can to provide that for you.
