Dog Walking Western Acres Mobile Park

About: My husband and I have always had dog's from a puppy until senior ages when it’s time to let go. I am currently retired and have time to walk, play and board a small dog or two. I miss the enjoyment we have always had with our dogs. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love caring for animals. I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to follow instructions closely and make each pet feel comfortable and safe. I also prioritize communication, so owners can feel confident knowing their dog is in good hands and being well cared for while they’re away. I am recently retired and ready to walk, play, and watch your dog. I have a very flexible schedule to fit your needs. Available any days needed. My house has a fully fenced yard (we do have a swimming pool) and would not leave your dog outside without supervision. My home is in a quiet neighborhood with parks near by.

About: Growing up, my parents always had a family dog in our home. When I turned 18 and went to college, I adopted a puppy that was abandoned in the woods and found on a hike. He became my best friend. He lived to be 14 and passed from old age/ heart murmur, February of 2022. I miss him every day and a friend I taught with, suggested I pet sit! I figured it would be worth a try, as I had pet sit for a few friends and family in the past. In 2022, I gained 30 positive reviews (on Rover) from my fabulous fur friends and their families. In 2023, I gained 17 positive reviews. In 2024, I gained 15 positive reviews. In 2025 I gained 27 positive reviews. I currently have zero negative reviews...I'd LOVE to keep it that way ;) I have several repeat clients and I encourage you to READ my reviews! -I do require a *complimentary* free Meet and Greet visit, prior to our first booking together. This ensures that we are all the best fit for one another! You reach out to me. I'll initiate the scheduling of the meet and greet visit. I usually prefer to schedule these on a Saturday or Sunday- late afternoon. You'd send me your address, as Rover does not display the pet parent's home address until both the pet sitter and pet parent have clicked the "confirm booking" button (located at the top of the message screen in the Rover app.) If you do not have the Rover app, you can use your device to go to Google. Type Rover in the Google search bar to access the website, directly. From there, log in Rover and you can navigate your way to your messages/ rover inbox. This is where you and I will do all of our communicating. Rover duplicates both the pet parent and pet sitter's messages to one another in not only the rover inbox, but also your email associated with Rover...AND your (regular) personal text messages. Drop your phone in the toilet? Just find a device with internet and log in rover. We can still communicate! Whew! Rover does protect the privacy of both the pet sitter and the pet parent, by using an alternate phone number, assigned to each party using the Rover app (this is similar to how Lyft or Uber would use a "fake" phone number for privacy reasons.) When I arrive to your home for the meet and greet, we usually sit in your doorway for the initial hello pets...lots of waggin tails ❤️ Next, we usually sit on your couch for about 30-90 minutes to talk about myself, your pet, your requests, etc. I'm usually petting your fur love as we talk, making sure we're best furrriends! To wrap up our meeting, the pet owner usually walks myself around the home, making sure to show me: The location of pet food, food dishe(s), water dishe(s), medication(s), written directions for your booking (which I will take a photo of to read later,) the bedroom I will be sleeping in, etc. I will make sure your home feels safe and clean, as I always need to keep myself and my other client's safety and health in consideration. Don't worry- your home ***does not*** need to be spotless. However, I unfortunately ***can not*** handle bed bugs, mold, head lice, fleas, ticks, scorpians, spiders, etc. PLEASE, do not waste my gas money, nor my time, by requesting a meet and greet visit, if you have experienced any of these unfortunate situations (within the last 3 years, regardless of your current residence.) I appreciate your honesty more than you'll ever know. At the meet and greet, you may ask to view my fingerprint clearance card. I usually try to remember to have it with me. I do have a reliable vehicle. I have AAA, if I were to experience vehicle issues during your booking. I also understand how to use Uber, Lyft, the city bus and even the light rail. I would always find a way to get home to your fur child. I am highly trustworthy. I am also an incredible judge of character. As long as the pet parent and I feel good about one another at the meet and greet visit, I am confident we will have a successful booking. I do send your home address to my mother, before driving to your home. This way, if you end up being a not- so- great- hooman... well, you know how that goes. ✌️ I do bring pepper spray with me to my visits, so please do not be alarmed by this precaution I take. I love cats and dogs! I love chickens and bunnies, too! Got a Nemo fish? I. got. you. I love getting to know your temperamental cat's colorful personality... Or leaving them to rule the home, while never making direct eye contact- whatever works.. I know the fur friends need our time and most importantly, our love. I will carefully follow directions you leave for me in your home. I am a very clean and organized person and would treat your family member and your home, as my own- with the most respect and care possible. ❤️ Additional services offered, ask at your meet and greet. Extra services will be paid in cash by the pet owner. Money will be left for pet sitter on kitchen counter. Extra services may include: - FREE Daily walks (usually 10-60 minutes in length, depending on weather conditions.) - FREE dog poop pick up [during walks] & throw away poop in nearest dog poop trash bin. - FREE scooping of cat litter box. - Backyard/ Frontyard dog poop pick up & throw away $25/20 minutes of my time, [depends on weather conditions & my energy levels.] - FREE Mail & or package collection *I'm not rushing home to bring your boxes inside, but yay for you!! ✌️ - FREE watering of indoor/ outdoor plants, as long as this takes me less than 10 minutes per day! -FREE trash day bin transporting, from wherever you keep your trash bins, to the front curb of your home. - $25 "House key pick up appointment" (on any day other than meet and greet appointment) *must be paid at time of key pick up appointment. Please note- If you give me the house key the day of the meet and greet, no key pick up appointment needed!!! ✌️ ...If you can use a garage code or front door code, please provide that information to me the day prior/the day of your departure for your booking. You ***do not*** need to give me a key in addition to a door/garage code, unless you want to! I do not let people "hide" the house key, UNLESS you have a working camera, which monitors the location where the key is being hid. If your camera stops working and someone finds your key- that's on you. Another alternative is a house key lock box or even a garage opener works. Please consider giving a trusted person a spare key, in the event something happens to the original key. Tell me what to do if I somehow get locked out. It's never happened, yet! Schedule: Substitute Teacher (I have a flexible schedule. I can select 4 hour/half day teaching days, too!) I work full time in education (all kinds of experience with multi tasking and distributing my attention, evenly, among the babes!) - I have to *be at* work at 7 am until 3 pm, Monday through Friday - I do not work my education job on the weekends, meaning I have some extra time for the fur friends! *I am not home 24/7, but the occasional "I'm not leaving the house for 24 straight hours day" definitely happens. Just depends on energy levels and prior commitments.* - I also have most holidays off work from my education job, as I get vacation when my students do. This means that around busy holiday times when people often travel- I am typically off work from my main job and can be available to watch your fur babies! - **On that note- to clarify, I do not stay in the home 24/7 to watch your animal (even with "overnight" visits.) During an "overnight" booking- I do sleep in your home (I love pet cuddles, if allowed!) On work nights, I sleep (usually) from around 10 pm ish until about 5 am. A normal work day's schedule may look like the following: 5 am: wake up and take fur friend potty 5:15 am: feed and water 5:30 am: take fur friend potty for post meal bathroom use 5:45 am: I lock up and head to my teaching job 12pm ish: I send you a "morning summary" message & a video of your dog eating breakfast. 4 pm: I get home and take your fur friend potty 4:15: I feed and water 4:30 take fur friend potty 4:45 ish: I leave your home and go to the gym. Maybe I grab dinner to take to your home to eat...or maybe I go walk around Target for a bit to unwind! Perhaps I'm too tired to do any of that, find a pizza and stay in & snuggle your fur love all night. It really just depends on the day. ***please understand this is my -second- job. I take it seriously, but you are not paying me to stay in your home 24/7. There ~are~ some pet sitters that are able to do that, I am not. Please understand this ~before scheduling your complimentary meet and greet appointment ❤️ 9 pm ish: I usually get ready for bed with your fur love! 10 pm- midnight ish: I send you an "evening summary" message and a video of your fur love eating dinner! My weekends, look about the same as above referenced. (I do stay up late on Friday and Saturday nights.) During the weekend, I am often home much more than I would be during the work week. (It depends on the day. Some Saturdays I go hiking & out to dinner. Others, I Netflix binge and chill with your pup for 36 straight hours. ... I use common sense. If I was gone a lot during the day prior, I try to even it out and stay in more, the following day. Safety, trust & environment: I care for pets in the pet owners home, not my own home. I maintain good relationships with my clients and really do my best to make everyone happy!! I listen to your suggestions. I take notes. I ask clarifying questions when needed and I believe that clear and effective communication is required on both my end (and the pet owner's end,) in order to maintain a healthy pet and working relationship! I lock doors. I double check that the stove is turned off. I send pictures and videos of your animal, so you can let me know if you notice something I don't. I try my best to prevent any accidents from even being possible. I'm not a perfect pet sitter, but my reviews reflect that I take this job very seriously, because I do ❤️

“Ryley is BEYOND amazing. I would recommend her to everyone!! We met her when she first stayed at our home with our two dogs. We are new to Arizona and it was only our second time leaving them with non-family members and she made us feel so comfortable right away. She accommodated our girl dogs special feeding instructions, regularly updated us, and even went above and beyond. We didn’t know it at the time, but our girl dog was pregnant and had a (only one) puppy on the last night of Ryley’s stay with them. It was in the middle of the night and she stayed up making sure our girl was safe, passed the placenta, and was okay. It was the most insane weekend and Ryley did better than I probably would have done if I was in her shoes. I hope every pet-owner finds someone like her!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 4 years old and I got my first puppy. I raised that puppy and another until they got to be 14 and 16 years old. I also had many pets in-between, from hamsters, bunnies, fish, tortoises, lizards, and more ! I have always been the person my family and friends go to to care for their pets. Not only do I watch and sit for them, I also do grooming and health care if needed. I care for my pets most of the day, playing, feeding, and spending time with them. I have a lot of time to care for pets. I make sure pets are happy and healthy. They have appropriate feedings, fun and safe playtime, and they are picked up after in case there are any messes.

“Tiffany proved to be an exceptional dog walker for my Moose. She arrived promptly, took Moose on great walks and even got him to hang out with some other pups! I will definitely be using Tiffany in the future!”

About: I've always enjoyed animals, especially dogs and cats. They take a liking to me soon after meeting. I have a calming effect on them, but enjoy walking and playing with them as well. I am retired, and teach English as a second language part time. I love nature and the outdoors, enjoy rising early and greeting the day, walking, swimming or cycling. I will cater to your pet's needs for exercise, food, play or whatever they need. I love interaction with pets and will take good care of yours.

“Al is amazing! He walked two our dogs for two weeks and took great care of them making sure they got water and a treat after the walk! I will definitely be using him again!”

“Athena loved spending her time with, Zoe! From the walk to the belly rubs, it was a great time for our Athena girl.”

About: We both have had pets our entire lives. My fiance worked at a shelter for a number of years so he is very familiar with giving any sort of meds or care your dog will need. We both work from home so your dog will not be left alone except if we have to run to the store. Potty breaks will be every hour if needed. I have a huge yard that is fenced. I also have a 2 year old pup who loves to play and run around. He does well with matching other dogs energy. He is a huge sleeper during the day. We love to cuddle. We love taking pups on walks.

About: I am a big dog lover, they are truly man's best friend. I have owned several dogs and taken care of family and friends dogs. I will do my best and more to make sure your fur babies are taken care of. I do enjoy spoiling so make sure to have treats on hand or I can definitely bring some to. 🤎 . . . If you feel like getting me a snack, I wont say no, but seriously no pressure I just get asked sometimes what snacks I like :) Redbull (Iced Vanilla Berry) Dr.Pepper Arizona Sweet Tea Made Good Granola Bites Lesser Evil Popcorn Fruit Chocolate Cookies Green yogurt Rice cakes TruFru Munchies Flamin Hot I work part-time, so my availability may vary on the days I’m scheduled to work. However, on my off days, I can stop by multiple times to check in, walk, play with, and care for your dog(s) as needed. If there’s ever a day I’m marked as unavailable, feel free to message me, I might be able to adjust my schedule! The first thing I do when I arrive is make sure your dog’s basic needs are met—food, water, and any medications if needed. After that, it’s time for fun! I love engaging with dogs through fetch, tug-of-war, belly scratches, or just some quality cuddle time.

“Great communicator, on time, and Cali loved her! Highly recommend Jaci :)”

About: I've had cats and dogs all throughout my life! I understand that they are little humans that need lots of love and attention! I have two cats (foster fails) that have been with me since they were 3 weeks old and I often dogsit for my sister's 12 year old dog. I have experience taking care of animals of all ages! I am currently working from home and I have a flexible schedule so I am available all day for whatever your pet may need! I can take your dog out for a walk or cuddle with your cat at any time of the day! I have a big backyard and I live near a park for any pets that like being outdoors if your pet is spending the night with me! My schedule allows me to be flexible with in-home care so I can visit your pet at any time and for however long if they would rather stay at your place. My boyfriend loves animals as well so your pet will be in safe and loving environment.

“Sarah was very responsive and kept me informed throughout the whole time she was with our dog! Thank you Sarah for taking care of Archie”

About: Hi! I’m Hannah. Have had animals since the day I was born. 28 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I am a bartender 3 nights a week so I have plenty of extra time during the day for walks, play time & potty breaks. I have a fenced yard with dirt and a doggy door to access the yard whenever they feel necessary. Shade & sun to accommodate their sun bathing routine. Lots of parks and grassy areas for walks when it cools off.

“Blue is always excited to see Tara and comes back happy and worn out!”
