Dog Walking Warren

About: I have experience caring for dogs both for my family and through pet-sitting. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I regularly help care for my sister’s dogs and have been responsible for their care when she is away. This includes feeding them, providing fresh water, taking them for walks, spending time playing with them, and making sure they receive their vitamins, supplements, and other care according to their normal routine. I understand that every pet is different, so I take instructions from owners seriously. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, medications and supplements, exercise needs, household rules, and any special instructions an owner provides. I am comfortable asking questions when I need clarification because I would rather make sure I am doing something correctly than make an assumption. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. I enjoy walks, playtime, and simply relaxing with them so they have companionship while their owners are away. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining the routine they are accustomed to at home. I wouldn't put the detailed autism explanation in this first section. This establishes Matthew as a capable pet caregiver first. Then, when we get to a section about communication, routines, or what owners need to know, we can explain his disability, his need for direct instructions, and your role as his communication support. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. Because I do not currently work a traditional full-time schedule, I am often available throughout the day and can provide companionship, walks, playtime, feeding, and other routine care. I do best when scheduling expectations are communicated clearly in advance. If your pet needs care at specific times—such as meals, medications, walks, potty breaks, or bedtime routines—please provide those times as specifically as possible. Having a clear schedule helps me maintain your pet’s normal routine and make sure nothing important is missed. I primarily use an e-bike for transportation, so please let me know ahead of time if your pet’s care will require transportation outside of the home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and do my best to maintain each pet’s normal routine so they can feel comfortable and secure while you are away. Because I am autistic, I do best with clear, direct, and detailed instructions. I can sometimes have difficulty recognizing implied expectations, hints, or instructions that are open to interpretation. Written instructions are especially helpful for things such as medications, feeding, household rules, behaviors to watch for, areas that are off-limits, and what I should do if an unexpected situation occurs. If something is unclear, I would rather ask questions than assume what an owner wants. My sister also provides communication support when needed. She tries to attend meet-and-greets with me whenever possible and is available by phone during bookings and stays to help clarify instructions, make sure important questions are asked, and assist me with communicating detailed updates to owners. I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet and home seriously. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment while respecting your home and following the routine you have established for your pet.

About: Having a hugely flexible schedule and an affection for pets has made me the go-to sitter for a large group of friends and acquaintances for the past several years, with intermittent experience before that. I’m a freelance filmmaker and photographer and my schedule is highly flexible with lots of time I can happily devote to spending with your dog/s and/or cat/s. I don’t have any special certifications but I’ve watched dogs of varying ages and breeds, with simple and complicated needs. Happy to consider unique circumstances, but my main experience is in walking and spending time with dogs and cats.

“Easily handled our pooch, kept track of all instructions given and sent pictures from each walk. Was great to know our furry baby was in good hands.”

About: I grew up with a Golden Retriever and currently have a Maltese, Havanese, Shih Tzu mix of my own. Having experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels has taught me how to care for each dogs individual needs. I’ve also had many friends, family members, and others trust me to walk and care for their dogs. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and would be happy to give your pup the same care, attention, and love that I give my own. Having a dog of my own has taught me how important it is to be patient, pay attention to their needs, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I love getting to know what makes each one so special. Weather your dog is always ready for an adventure, loves sniffing, and exploring on walks, or is happiest getting extra attention and belly rubs, I’ll make sure they have a great time! I also know how important it is to have someone you can count on when it comes to your pets. I’ll always do my best to follow your dogs usual routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love while your away. I’d be happy to send updates and pictures so you can see how your pup is doing! I want you to have a peace of mind knowing your dog is in caring hands and your pup to have a new friend they’re excited to see! 🐶 Pet care is a big part of my everyday life because I have a dog of my own. She is extremely picky, so i’m used to paying attention to what she likes, making sure she’s eating, and noticing when something seems different with her. I take care of her throughout the day, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving lots of attention. I’d love to use some extra time to help people with their pets needs. I’m comfortable making time for walks and drop-in visits and would treat every pet like they are my own. For drop-in visits and walks, I always make sure each pet gets the care and attention they need. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and anything else you ask me to do. I’ll also make sure your pet is comfortable and safe before I leave, and i’ll send updates and pictures so you know how they’re doing.

About: I have a big spacious fenced in yard. My home is calm and welcoming which will help your dogs feel right at home! I have cared for dogs of families and friend. I’m available for boarding Friday through Monday all day which gives me more than enough time to take your puppies on walks and give them the care and attention they need. I have a fenced in yard and a sweet little 2 year old that is so gentle and will give your furry babies all the snuggles.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since birth and till death. I’ve been around pets my whole life and know the do’s and don’t’s of pet care. I have a part time job but if I accepted your boarding request there would be someone home the entire time. You will never have to worry about a lack of attention and care from me. My pets get along with others and are crate trained. Your pets would be treated like a member of the family. We could work on training as well.

About: I’ve always had a passion for animals! I’ve taken care of them from a very young age whether it be going for walks, grooming, bringing home strays, you name it! I have two dogs, two cats and three ferret's of my own and would love to help you with yours! 😊 I do work full time so I am available after work! Each day varies 7-1 (Mon, Tues, Fri) and 7-3:30 (Wed and Thur). Afternoons and evenings are very open! I’m also willing to work with you on days not marked as open, just let me know! ❤️ I would treat your animals as I treat me own- with plenty of love, interactive playtime and spoiled beyond belief! I’m trustworthy and dependable and have the softest of spots for animals!

About: Throughout my life my mother has fostered homeless pets for a non profit organization. It was through this I acquired a passion for caring for animals. My first time pet sitting was at age 14, and I found that I loved being able to provide peace of mind for pet owners when they needed someone to trust with their beloved companions. I cared for their pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. At 20 years old I began a career in Animal Control, I went on to run an animal shelter where I would care for between 40-80 Animals on a daily basis. I established no kill status within 6 months of starting, and rewrote what it meant to be an animal housed in that shelter. I worked 6, and sometimes 7 days a week for nearly 7 years to be sure the animals received the care they needed. I am now hoping to provide quality care for companion animals in the Ogden area! I am currently available every day of the week to help with your animal care needs. I'm hoping to establish a client base that I can continually provide services for long term! I currently live in a townhome. I have access to a quiet grassy area for potty breaks and short walks! I have a reliable car that I can transport animals in comfortably if needed. I can come to your home for potty breaks or walks whenever is needed and I can work around your schedule!

About: I am an Army Veteran who learned the power of a bond between animals and humans after being discharged from the military and needing a companion of my own. I am currently a dog trainer as well as pursuing a bachelor's degree in animal behavior and health! I am a dog trainer that does board and train sessions as well as private in home lessons, while also pursuing my degree in animal behavior and health. I do train dogs full time, but please let me know what works with your schedule and I will do my best to accommodate! I have a big fenced yard and two australian shepherds that are very friendly. I can easily crate animals if needed or separate them by rooms if your dog does not like other dogs.

About: I have had animals all my life ranging from dogs and cats to lizards, bunnies, and snakes. I have also worked in the petcare industry professionally as well for 7 years doing grooming, training, and vet tech work. I currently work form home so I can provide constant care if that is needed. Please let me know ahead of time so that I can make appropriate accommodations :) Im available for long term care or even short daily visits whichever your schedule requires. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I CAN accommodate last minute requests. I can provide home visits/walks, or I can do at home boarding. I have a large backyard that is fully privacy fenced, as well as a private space in my house that we use just for animals

About: I work at a Veterinary Hospital as a CSR and Vet Assistant, so I’m familiar with animal care and work daily with dogs of all sizes. I don’t live with any dogs or children. I work part-time hours, so I have availability in morning, afternoons, nights, and on the weekends. My schedule is very flexible if needed! For house visits, I can stop in as little as every two hours! I know all the tips and tricks for dogs that are eager to escape from the house or chase down an animal on a walk. I am super patient and will do what’s necessary to comfort your pet or deescalate a sticky situation.

About: I’ve fostered 5 different dogs from the Humane Society of Utah (3 wks - 2 mo each). I was responsible for feeding, exercising, administering meds, and providing water for the dogs. I volunteered for Second Chance for Homeless Pets, where I cleaned kennels, fed animals, completed simple cleaning tasks, & bathed a dog. I completed 4 semesters of the vet tech program at Broadview University, where I learned about proper veterinary care, including administering meds, making general health assessments, walking dogs, cleaning kennels/clinic/classrooms, etc. During this time, I completed a preceptorship at Sugarhouse Veterinary Hospital, where I was able to sit in on a surgery. I worked as a vet tech at Banfield Pet Hospital for 3 months. I also worked at The City Pet Club Dog Daycare & Boarding facility and I’ve been dog sitting for the past 6 years. I have my own all natural dog treats and dog shampoo and a defurminator deshedding brush tool. I currently work from home and am very flexible for the purpose of taking care of your fur babies. I love all animals and would be privileged to watch yours. Water, food, treats, baths, walks, hiking, runs, dog park visits, dog pool visits, ball/toys, able to administer meds and address wounds, etc. I am a very good dog masseuse. Haha

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! Last year, I even completed a service project focused on educating others about the importance of pet enrichment and proper care. I’ll treat your furry friend like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way! I am currently a student at Weber state studying elementary education so I have my student teaching from 8am-11am. I am often available outside of these times. Your pet is safe with me, pets will stay leashed at all times unless we are in a safely locked environment. I also will practice recall often.

About: I've watched multiple pets, older pets, shy pets, and houses big and small and would be happy to do the same for you. Have to watch pets in their home because I don't have a place of my own at the moment. Experienced with cats, dogs, turtles, birds, goats. I pretty much devote myself full-time to your pet(s). I'll only need to go out to buy sustenance and for exercise/fresh air, which I can do with your pets. I like to meet pets first and care for them the way they are used to and according to their human's instructions. Have looked after large dogs fresh out of surgery, a blind dog (so sweet), cats who need meds, fish, dogs with severe allergies and more. I used to have a dog and cat but the dog died (she was 16) and the cat, whose age we didn't know because she was a rescue, may have died of a broken heart nine months later. Which also broke my heart. I won't get more pets until I settle down somewhere, which means your pets get my undivided attention.

About: My family has small dogs that we love so much! We take then to the park and they love playing fetch. I would love to take care of or walk your dog! I am an artist and i do face painting as my main job, but that's only on the weekends, so I'm walking dogs! I have had dogs for pets most of my life so i know how to take care of them, train them, play with them, and love them. I have 2 associates degrees from salt lake community college in graphic design and web design. I know how important dogs and pets are and how they are part of your family. I would love to get to know your pet and give them some excercise! I have a face painting business and itv it is slow in the winter, so I'm very available nov to may. If you live close to my events and the animals can be ok when I'm at work I also can do long sits. I take special care of the animals i care for, I love all animals, especially the dogs in my life and my clients. They are the best!

About: I've been caring for animals since I was a kid—whether it was walking neighborhood dogs, pet sitting for friends and family, or volunteering with rescues. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my own pets every day, so adding a few more furry friends to the mix fits right in! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or extended stays, I make sure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve. I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pets comfortable, safe, and on their usual routine. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication if needed, and of course—plenty of love and attention. I keep things clean and tidy, and I’m happy to send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands.

About: I’ve worked in various areas of pet care, including everything from house sitting and boarding to working in a veterinary clinic as an assistant over the last 5 years. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes and working on leash training as well as other basic commands. I’m a student at Southern Utah University taking a couple of online classes. I have plenty of time in between classes to care for pets and go on walks. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for house sitting or dog walking. I have several years of experience with dog and cat behavior as well as experience medicating pets of all ages. I understand that your pets are a part of your family and look after their care and safety the way I would my own pets.
