Dog Walking In Tempe Gardens, AZ

About: I have the time, patience, and heart to give your dog the attention they deserve—whether it’s for walks, cuddles, or just good company while you’re away. I do work M-F on a 8am to 5pm schedule so anytime around that works for me whether that’s after work or the weekends! Once I’m staying in the house, I try to keep everything as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible. That means feeding them at the right times, sticking to their usual walk or play schedule, and giving them attention if they’re used to a lot of company. If they’re shy or independent, I respect that too. I pay attention to their body language so I can tell if they need more space or more love.

About: I have experience with my own pets, including a cat and a dog. Previously I owned a senior rescue dog who had medical issues (pacemaker, allergies, and bladder issues) that has made me very experienced in dealing with unique pet needs. Most recently, I have raised a puppy, making me knowledgeable about the considerations needed for caring for a young dog. Pet care is currently my main priority. I am able to be fairly flexible if need be, and am typically available Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday any time. Other days can potentially be an option if needed. Your home will be treated with respect and your pet will be very loved by me! I'll work with the pets comfort level to provide the safety, care, and attention needed.

“Sara was amazing with my boy, Nox. Despite needing to make a few modifications to the booking because of unexpected work plans, I am grateful Sara was able to accomodate my schedule changes. She had great communication and would update me with photos regularly. It gave me total piece of mind that my dog was in good hands. I'd be happy work with Sara again in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m Courtney, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, daycare, or overnight stay, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and needs, and I do my best to make their time with me feel as close to home as possible. For pets staying in our home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. All pets are fed separately to ensure an stress-free mealtime experience, and they’re welcome on the furniture for snuggles and relaxation. We also have plenty of toys available for sharing, enrichment, and playtime throughout the day. Our large, grassy backyard gives dogs plenty of space to explore and enjoy outdoor time and sunbathe. You’ll receive regular photo updates and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and love building lasting relationships with both pets and their people. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my days around caring for my own dog. Daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, enrichment, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for are already a regular part of my life. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate drop-ins, walks, daycare, and overnight care throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets feels less like a task and more like something I truly love doing. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I’m also comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and adapting to each pet’s personality and needs. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. In my own home, pets are treated like family. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and space to relax. I also have a friendly, well-socialized dog who does well with other animals, and I always prioritize slow introductions and safety to make sure everyone is comfortable.

About: I've always had a love for animals and have spent years caring for pets of all kinds. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, and even tortoises, which have helped me become comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and care routines. Growing up, before I had pets of my own, I loved helping friends and family care for their pets whenever I had the chance, and spending time with animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy! I also have experience with younger pets. My first dog and cats were all under a year old when I got them, so I am familiar with the extra attention, patience, and care that puppies and kittens need while they're still growing and learning. As a student at ASU, I'm not able to have a pet of my own right now, which is one of the reasons I joined Rover! I really miss being around animals and would love the opportunity to care for your pets while giving them lots of attention, companionship, and affection. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always treat them like family, while making sure you feel comfortable and updated while they're in my care! 🐾 I am currently on summer break from ASU and not working another job, so I have very open availability throughout the week. I am flexible with scheduling and available most days, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and care. I am happy to work around what best fits your pet's routine and needs! I do not currently have pets of my own, but I have previous experience caring for both dogs and cats. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. With dogs, I enjoy taking them of walks and making sure they get proper exercise and stimulation. With all animals, I focus on reading their energy and making sure they feel comfortable and happy no matter what mood they're in. I always aim to treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe and cared for in any setting.

“Teresa has been absolutely wonderful with Stella, has walked her every day from 8 weeks to 6 months around lunch to help my husband and I with our work schedule. She provides clear communication and plenty of pictures and has been very flexible with our work schedules. My dog loves her! Would highly recommend her.”

About: I have had a dog since I was a child and have cared for all types of dogs, from a mini dachshund to a great dane mix. I have experience with shelters dogs, dogs with anxiety, and service dogs. I currently work from home and do not have a set schedule. I do have family dinners sunday nights and am typically gone around 4 hours but otherwise, I am typically only gone an hour or so every few days. I live in an apartment but love taking the dogs out on long walks every few hours. I have a retired service dog who will keep your dog company.

About: I have lived with animals my whole life. Because I move a lot, I do not own a pet of my own, but I watch and care for my friends' and roommates' pets as much as I can so I can get my fix. I understand the importance of trust and comfort when leaving your pet with someone. My active lifestyle allows me to keep dogs engaged with exercise, and my calm nature helps soothe more anxious or shy pets. I work during the week, and I will mainly be available to petsit during weekends: Friday night, Saturdays, and Sundays. I do occasionally work from home and can watch your fur babies on a case by case basis on weekdays! I love running, hiking, and movement. If comfortable, I would love to hike with your pup! Additionally, I am an early riser, and I can do early. morning walks or drop ins (5:00 AM-7:00 AM) everyday. For dogs, I love incorporating activities like walks, runs, and hikes into our day, providing them with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I'm always mindful of their safety, keeping an eye on weather conditions and ensuring they have access to fresh water and shade. With cats, I focus on maintaining their normal routines and giving them plenty of love and attention. Whether it's playtime with their favorite toys, brushing sessions, or just curling up for some quiet time, I make sure they feel secure and happy. In both settings, I keep communication open with the pet owners, sending updates and photos so they know their furry family members are in good hands.

“Mel was so amazing with our baby. She came by on short notice and squeezed us in on her busy schedule. We had updates and pictures all along the way to assure piece of mind. Thank you so much Mel!!!”

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: I’ve had many pets growing up my entire life, however, I began being an animal caretaker since 2019. Originally I was a flying nanny so I was never home, but I was transporting dogs and cats all over the United States from state to state. I fell in love with my job until I could no longer travel anymore. Now that I work from home, I still want to be able to continue my journey with caring for animals. Many people do jobs because their parents did it or they do it for the money; but I genuinely do it because I love animals… you might be able to say more than humans. I currently work from home and work when I want in my daily life would really affect my availability to pet sit. I’m basically available every single day of the week unless I make plans. I live in an apartment that has a grass area for animals to handle their business and it is fenced all the way around the apartment. And I have a very sweet cat who was about three years old and she does very well with other animals if your baby needs company.

About: I have had pets all of my life and loved to care for them. I used to work at a veterinary office as a kennel tech along with both my mom and sister so we are a animal loving family. I am working part time right now, but can make time for your furry friends. I am willing to stop by in the mornings and night or board them at my home. My schedule varies every week so shoot me a message and we can work it out! As a past kennel technician I can assure that your pet will be safe with me! I do not have any other pets. I am in an apartment complex but it has lots of grass and a dog park to keep those paws cool.

About: I’ve taken care of family friends and neighbors pets for years! I have watched every animal - from dogs and cats to lizards and snakes, and love every moment of it. I’ve always had pets at home and I love fur-babies more than anything! I have trained 3 puppies and around 5 kittens! I am currently a college student, but with my schedule, I am able for walking or check-ins almost any time of the week! Weekends are completely open besides Sundays 12-2. I always ensure that my clients homes look better than I found it! I understand everyone has a different way of raising their animals and I respect any training or specifications given to me. I am comfortable with just about anything for pets!

About: Hi. My name is Lindsay. Thanks for checking out my profile. I've got over 20 years PROFFESSIONAL pet care experience and always have your fur babies safety and happiness at the very top of my priority list! I am happy to answer all your questions prior to meeting or during our meet and greet! I am also more than comfortable accommodating last minute requests and emergencies. Photos and videos provided daily or more as requested. Ive got animal first aid training as well as experience caring for special needs and senior pups. Lastly, I work from home, so whether your pup comes here or I come to you, I am never away for more than 45-60 min at any time. This means your precious pup will get more than enough attention.

“Andrea has been great with Luna. Luna was very timid and shy when she first met Andrea and now she loves when she comes over and takes her for walks.”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats on the farm and own two dogs of my own. I have had each of them since they were puppies and they are now 7 and 8 years old. One of my dogs is reactive to other dogs so I understand some animals need a little extra time, love, and support to feel comfortable. I also foster kittens through a local organization. I have worked as a nurse for 10 years and have struggled to find trustworthy individuals to let my dogs out with my irregular schedule. I joined rover to help other people working odd hours have care for their pets. Since I have worked both day and night shift, I understand the need for animal care at non-traditional hours. I have also been a travel nurse and know the stress of moving to a new city and finding care. I am available on weekends, most holidays, and days before 2pm. I am occasionally available Monday and Friday evenings as well. I am familiar with cats and dogs of all sizes. I abide by your preferences and will ensure your pets are taken care of in the same manner you would care for them.

“Alan was very receptive to all of our concerns with walking Archer. I think he did a great job with making us feel comfortable as pet parents and also giving Archer a great workout!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have owned them my whole life. I live in Tempe with 2 roommates and I have a lovely golden retriever, Ophelia, she just turned 2 in February! We love to spend time in our backyard playing and swimming. Our pool is gated which is a BIG help keeping Ophy out of the pool when it’s not swim time. I have experience with puppies, nursing, senior, special needs and cats! I would love to help out with your furbabies! Pet care is a 24/7 responsibility, it is important to me that all animals are treated well and are cared for even when us humans have to make a living… how else do our furry friends think we afford their toys and treats! Being raised in Arizona, I am very aware of outside critters that our furry friends might get to close to. I like to make sure to scope out areas my dogs will be sniffing around before I let them in the area. I prefer to avoid popular dog parks because that is the largest risk of bacteria or unfriendly dogs.
