Dog Walking In Starr Pass

About: I’ve always been that person who helps out with family pets just because I love taking care of them. A few years ago, I finally got a dog of my own, and that’s when I really got into training—learning how to communicate with her, build routines, and understand how she thinks. Now, I bring that same care and attention to every pet I watch, making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I am a college student with a flexible schedule. This means i can adjust my availability based on your pets' needs, whether it's check-ins throughout the day or last minute help. I do not do stays in my own home at the moment as my dog is not always good with other dogs/animals, but I am able to make it out to you to do care in your own home. I learn quickly, and i use this to my advantage as i learn to give each pet their best individualized care.

“Ava has been professional, dependable, and genuinely caring. She’s always punctual, communicative, and detail oriented, and I truly appreciate the photos and updates that give me peace of mind while I’m away.”

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!

About: I have experience with animals of all sizes! Most important to me is that I provide a safe and attentive environment. For high energy dogs we have a large backyard and trails around our house! I am able to walk and/or run them if requested. For lazy dogs, we have lots of surfaces to lay on and love to cuddle! (Only if they want, of course) Other than running some errands or taking my son on a play date I am able to be home taking care of the dogs :) I will follow your requests for all types of visits. My main concern is that your pet(s) are happy and well cared for regardless of if they are in my house or yours.

About: I’ve grown up with multiple dogs of all sizes, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also helped care for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, giving me experience with different routines and environments. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. With a part-time schedule consisting of short shifts a few days a week, I’m able to offer flexible and attentive pet care. I have ample availability to maintain your dog’s routine and provide consistent supervision, exercise, and companionship. I always prioritize a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific preferences or needs. I make sure dogs are always supervised, kept in secure environments, and never put in situations where they could feel unsafe or overwhelmed. I also have a small fenced grass section outside of my house! In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and maintain their dog’s normal routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible. I’m attentive to behavior and body language, and I’ll adjust care based on what each dog needs—whether that’s more playtime, exercise, or just a calm presence. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles. My experience includes administering medication, monitoring behavior and health, and providing personal care for pets of all ages. With a Fear-Free Shelter Certification, I understand how to reduce stress and create a positive experience for your pets. I am especially attentive to senior pets and will respond quickly to their needs. I pride myself on reliable communication, maintaining clean living spaces, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I work part time, so I have plenty of availability for any of your pet sitting and boarding needs. I am available for boarding Friday-Monday as early as 9am. I am flexible with my schedule so contact with any times that works for you. During the weekday after 11 am, I have open availability for any dog-walking or sitting needs. When caring for pets, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and as stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, walking, and enrichment instructions carefully. I always make sure pets are in a clean environment with fresh water. I have gated backyard open anytime for supervised playtime. I always monitor behavior, any signs of illness or injury and always communicate updates promptly to owners. I take security very seriously and make sure doors, gates, and windows are closed and locked. My goal is to provided dependable and compassion for all pets under my care so they feel safe and owners have peace of mind while they are away.

About: I have fostered 8 dogs for PACC (so far!) and helped them find homes. Caring for dogs of 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 in the greater Tucson area. 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 ☺️

“Sheila was wonderful! She helped walk two of our dogs while I was away and was great to work with. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were getting out and cared for. I would absolutely recommend her.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve had up to three dogs of my own at once (plus cats and even farm animals!), so I’m comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines all at once. I’ve worked on a farm and volunteered at a local animal shelter, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all temperaments — from energetic and playful to shy or nervous. Those experiences taught me patience, consistency, and how important it is to make animals feel safe. I’ve dog sat for friends and family many times, and always treat their pets like they’re my own. Whether your dog needs long walks and playtime, a calm and gentle approach, or help taking oral medication, I’m focused on making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re feel confident they’re in good hands (I’m happy to give frequent updates!) I mostly have walk times available in the afternoon- 3:30pm and after. Saturday-Monday I have more availability (all day) for walks and visits! Communication is key to success and I am happy to try and make things work. I like to walk (or run) at whatever pace your dog sets, ensuring they get plenty of breaks to drink or rest as needed! Lots of attention and play is my specialty, but I also can appreciate some dogs and cats needing their space and can recognize when they just want to relax on their own. If you like updates with pictures of your fur baby, I’m your gal! You’ll be sure to stay in touch with how your pup is enjoying their walk or dinner with a picture or two.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for many years, especially my German Shepherd growing up, who was mainly my responsibility. She was trained as a security dog and needed a lot of structure, consistency, and control, so I learned how to confidently handle strong, high energy dogs and maintain training over time. Since she was reactive around other people and dogs, I became very attentive on walks and learned how important patience, awareness, and trust are when caring for animals. I genuinely love spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, so I have time throughout the week to care for pets. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I enjoy being active, so daily walks and playtime easily fit into my routine. I’m also responsible and organized, which helps me stay consistent with feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any specific instructions your pet may need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Growing up with a trained German Shepherd taught me how important structure, patience, and awareness are when caring for animals, especially dogs with strong personalities or special needs. I always pay close attention during walks, avoid unsafe situations, and follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I work hard to create a calm and trusting environment so pets feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.

“Hillary was outstanding! Our dog Zach can be a real handful and Hillary managed him beautifully. I loved the photos she texted to me during their walks. I knew she was taking good care of him, which gave me peace of mind while I was away.”

About: I’ve been watching and caring for pets since I was little and have always had a love for animals. I’ve been taking care of neighbors and friends pets for years without any issues. I also have two fur babies of my own who receive plenty of walks, attention, and affection, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as well. I’m currently enrolled at the University of Arizona studying medicine, and I’ve taken several animal related classes simply because of my passion for animals. I’m a very patient, reliable, and attentive person who will treat your pet with the same care and love as my own. I’m currently a student at the University of Arizona studying medicine and im very free in the afternoons and nights to care for pets. And my schedule is free for the weekends to care for animals. I am very attentive and patient when it comes to caring for animals. I try to be observant to my dogs behaviors to see if soemthing is off and I try to keep a decently consistent schedule with feeding and potty breaks. I also make sure they have enough water especially in Arizona heat.

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've been walking, training, and caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes for over 10 years. I currently work as a zookeeper full-time. Animals are my passion and I have very high standards of care for every animal I am responsible for. I have experience with (and am actively continuing my education on) Cooperative Care and basic obedience training using positive reinforcement. I have a senior dog of my own and have had special needs dogs in the past, so I am happy to work with dogs that need a little extra care. My main availability is Tuesday-Thursday, but I can occasionally accommodate other days. Feel free to reach out and we can see what we can work out! How I care for pets is fully tailored to my client's needs. I prefer to have a meet and greet with new clients and their pets to get to know you both and go over any important details of their care. I do not feed any treats or food that are not approved ahead of time. I'm educated on signs of fatigue in dogs and am careful to not overwork the dogs in my care (especially in this summer heat).

“Teri did a fantastic job with Harlo, would work with her again in a heartbeat.”
