Dog Walking University Estates

About: I’ve had pets my entire life. My family had a two high energy dogs growing up and even from a young age I would enjoy caring for the two of them. After they passed, I volunteered at my local humane society, working mainly with dogs. When I was about 17, I convinced my family to adopt a puppy. I taught him basic commands, potty training, and basic leash skills. I currently own a cat who is equal parts sweetheart and menace. Being tasked with raising a kitten turned out to have a massive learning curve, but he is absolutely spoiled with playtime, toys, and treats. He is currently being leash trained and we’re working on anxiety associated with his crate. I am extremely flexible since I am in a hybrid program for classes, so all of my didactic/classroom work is fully online and accessible from anywhere and anytime! I do work Friday mornings from 8am-12pm and may not be available some weekends since I work every third weekend minimum. Otherwise, I’m completely flexible and will always try to work with you! I care for all pets with love and respect. The main goal is to establish trust with new pets by allowing them to approach me with interest on their own terms, even if it takes a while. Providing pets with playtime and attention is a priority after their daily basic needs are met. I believe in gentle correction or making an activity more interesting with treats or a favorite toy when a pet is acting up or disinterested.

About: Hi there, I’m Gloria, and I truly treat every pet like family! 🐾 I spent a year as an Animal Care & Experience Specialist at an animal shelter, so I’m happy to help with everything from feeding and cleaning to socialization and enrichment. I’ve cared for playful puppies, tiny kittens, and sweet seniors, and I’m comfortable giving medication when needed. With my master’s in Applied Psychology, I’m great at reading body language and helping shy or anxious pets feel safe and loved. Whether it’s a cuddly cat or a big, energetic Doberman-sized buddy, I’d love to give your pet lots of attention, patience, and fun. Your furry family member will be in great hands! I work two part-time jobs, so my schedule is very flexible, and I can easily make time for morning walks, midday visits, evening feeding, or last-minute requests. I’m happy to keep a consistent routine for your pet, whether that’s a daily walk, regular check-ins, or a few days of sitting while you’re away. Just let me know what works for you, and I’ll make it happen! I will give each pet plenty of attention, whether that means playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, while also respecting their boundaries and personality. I will keep food and water fresh, make sure all the windows and doors are secure. I will also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages.

About: I have owned pets my whole life and have a passion for taking care of furry friends! I began sitting for friends and neighbors when I was really young and grew up helping my grandmother and aunt who both ran their own doggy daycare and sitting businesses. I am well versed in dog walking, stopping in to check on pups, and overnight stays. While I am most experienced in smaller to medium sized dogs I have watched over all types of breeds and I am confident in taking care of any dog! I currently have a part time job that only takes up about 6-7 hours a week. I am extremely flexible and available early mornings and late nights. Pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I make sure to create a clean, safe, and comfortable environment to make sure your dog feels at home. I am extremely attentive and take care instructions very seriously. I will always ensure that your dog receives the right amount of supervision, exercise, and affection!

About: My experience caring for family pets began at 16 years old. A noteworthy pet sitting involved caring for a household with one female dog, her six newly born puppies, two adolescent dogs, and a senior dog for a week and a half. I believe this highs shows my ability to handle diverse pet household needs. Also, I have gained some experience in pet care for cats since October 2023. I work 12-hour shifts from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and every other Wednesday. I am available every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, along with every other Wednesday. I can inform you if I have that week's Wednesday off or not when you send your request. As a pet owner of a dog and a cat, I understand that each pet requires a unique approach to their daily habits and needs. I will stand by your instructions for the care of your pet(s), with the consideration I expect when others care for my own pets when I'm away. I hold no judgment over their care needs.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats ever since I was able to be left home alone. Often times taking care of my parent’s pets, most of whom were energetic labs, over weekends while my parents were out of town. Into adulthood I’ve continued to take care of my parent’s and friend’s animals. I’ve volunteered at my hometown’s Humane Society taking care of animals from puppies and kittens to seniors. I am a responsible person who will make sure that your baby is well looked for and will provide a safe and comforting experience for them while they are in my care. I currently work part time in the evenings and weekends. Making my schedule perfect for when you need a sitter while you’re at work! I also have a few gaps a few weeks in the year where I can be more available for your pet! Not only have I pet sit before but I’ve also house sat a few times. I will treat your home with the upmost respect and can even water a few plants on top of pet care! I’m comfortable being alone with numerous pets of all sizes and will treat their space with care.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a day without them. I also loved and cared for a cat while growing up! Since 2018, I’ve owned and trained my Labrador, including obedience work and therapy dog certification. He enjoys daily walks and hikes with me, keeping me active and in tune with his needs. I’ve also cared for many different breeds and sizes from medium dogs to larger dogs such as a German Shepherd, Pitbull, and even a Great Dane. I would help with walks, playtime, and training. In college, I volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gave dogs exercise, socialization, and comfort while they waited for homes. I bring patience, love, and reliability to every pet I care for! While my weekday availability is limited to mornings or evenings, I’m happy to offer walks and drop-ins on weekends when you need extra support for your pets. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and home. I always make sure walks are safe and enjoyable, keeping your pets secure and happy. During drop-ins, I will carefully follow your instructions and make sure your pets’ needs are fully met. I go above and beyond to give them attention, playtime, and care so they feel happy, comfortable, and loved, and I leave your home just the way you want it.

About: I'm gonna be honest and say that I don't have any "professional experience," BUT I have pet sat and house sat for my family members multiple times when they've gone out of town, so I do have something under my belt. I have also been surrounded by a number of both cats and dogs since I was a baby, which I have had the pleasure of taking care of and growing up with. I love animals of every kind, even the mean ones, and I would love to love yours too. I'm currently a full-time student, but half of my schedule is online, which frees up a lot of my time to take care of sweet fluffy babies! (Which is what I'd rather be doing anyway, so...) Whatever is most comfortable for you and your pets is what I will roll with. I am not in the business of messing up any routines, so you just let me know exactly what you want done for your pet and it'll happen. Boom.

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Growing up, I cared for my own small dog and regularly watched family members’ and neighbors’ dogs through walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’ve also expanded my experience by volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I walk and care for dogs with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. I have delt with numerous dogs with high energy personalities or sometimes ones with bad behavior habits. I always handle situations with care and would love to wear your dog out! I genuinely love being around animals and always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m very attentive, reliable, and responsible, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, providing exercise and enrichment, or simply giving dogs lots of attention and affection. My goal is always to treat every dog like they’re my own and provide the best care possible. When visiting your fur baby I would love to take them on a walk have a good play session and give them all the attentive care they need! I have a very open availability and if I get a request enough in advance, I am willing to take off work in order to work around my client's schedule! Even if I do have work, it is part-time only for a couple of hours and can care for your furry loved ones right when I get off! With my current situation, I am only able to care for large pets such as dogs in my client’s home. I have a reliable mode of transportation meaning I can drive myself whenever needed. I have plenty of space in an extra room to care for small pets if that is the case!

“Extremely friendly, caring, thorough walkers. Will absolutely be using them for recurrent services and would highly recommend them to anyone else.”

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.

About: There is something sooo special about cats and dogs. I try and read their minds and it’s fun. I’m super affectionate but also understand that each one of them are different and deserve the connection they require to be happy and to feel supported -and entertained. I can manage a flexible schedule. I’m flexible in general. I can take care of other duties needed while I’m caring for your home and pets. Weekends I’d be primarily be stationed at the client’s home and during the week, it depends on the day/s. I am a quiet person who likes to read, write and create. Being around animals does something for my soul and is why I am looking for pets to care for. I will accommodate what is needed for you to be able to continue the love and support your pets get from you while you are away.

“Yanssel goes above and beyond to ae sure my big dig is safe, loved and well taken care of. She always sends plenty if pictures and communicates very thoroughly if something seems off. Yanssel is very trustworthy around my pets and in my home alone. Would recommend 100%.”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. My grandmother has trained golden retrievers year after year in things like search and rescue, and agility ever since I can remember. I've participated in the trainings as a kid, and that's when I first fell in love with animals. I can check in with your pet while you are away, and spend time with them in your absence. I can feed, exercise, and do whatever it takes to keep your pet happy while you are away. I've been using Rover for a decade now, and I love it. I'm an easy-going person who loves hiking and a good Netflix show when I'm not at work or working with Rover. I've lived in Arizona for over seven years, and I love exploring and making new animal friends. I love spending time with animals, so caring for other’s’ fits into my routine perfectly! I currently work 7-4pm in Scottsdale, so I am able to pet/house sit around those hours. I am an early morning person and I have no problem getting up early to play with you pet(s) prior to going in to work! I provide a loving an nuturing environment for your pet while you are away. When your pet is in my care, they will feel comfortable, safe, and happy.

About: I have had three dogs in my life, two of which I have trained since they were 8 weeks old, and they are truly the best mannered dogs. I have also been pet sitting and dog since I was 13, and have done countless overnight stays, with puppies all the way to senior dogs, and handling and loving the learning and challenges that come with each pup! I am currently a college student who has 3 hours of in person class Tuesday and Thursday but other than that I am pretty widely available for whatever needed and would always make sure a dog I am responsible for is a number one priority! I would definitely honor the requests made by the owner because as a dog owner, I understand how crucial their routine is! I have lengthy experience with crate training, high energy dogs, and the dogs who just want to be loved and sat down with.

About: I have taken care and loved animals for my entire life. I had an 18 year old pomeranian yorkie that i took care of until he passed, so I have experience with senior dogs. I also frequently take care of my friends and families puppies so I am used to handling training puppies. I work a traditional 9-5 job, but I am able to do drop in visits or board over the weekend. I do not currently have a dog, so it gives me freedom to bring dogs in to my household. I am a very passionate and attentive caretaker. I make sure I am well equipped so that the animals have a great experience staying in my home.

About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and have been dog sitting for family and friends since my junior year of high school. I have experience with both large breeds, like German Shepherds, and small dogs. I’ve done everything from short check-ins while owners are at work to week-long stays. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who truly cares, and I treat every dog I watch with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m currently a student at Arizona State University with classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Outside of that, I have a flexible schedule and can adjust my routine to accommodate pet care. On weekends, I usually work on school assignments, which I’m able to do from anywhere, allowing me to provide attentive and consistent care. I currently provide pet care in my client’s home to ensure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any household routines. I prioritize safety by keeping doors secured, monitoring pets closely during walks, and maintaining a clean, calm space. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.

About: For that “Your experience” section, I’d make it more focused on why someone should trust you as a sitter: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from my dog Spencer, who I had for 11 years, to my one-year-old cat Summit, who I adopted from the Arizona Humane Society. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I could only care for cats because my roommates are comfortable with that.They do take care of themself in a way but I do have school online so it would be easy to watch your cute little fur ball critter! I treat pets with love and understanding. I understand when pets needs to eat and they need to play with their toys. And I enjoy giving them that!

About: Current Biomedical Engineering Student at ASU, past Vet Assistant. I’ve always loving dogs and cats, but can’t have any, and wish to work with them! During Mondays, I am available until 10AM and after 1 PM. On Tuesdays, I am available after 3 PM. Weekends I’m completely free after 12 PM. I’m a full time student, so I provide time spans that give flexibility so I won’t let you and your pet down! I’ve learned to maintain control of my environment for the safety of your pet as well as those around us in terms of being in your home or neighborhood.
