Dog Walking Willow

About: I have extensive experience caring for pets and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I have taken care of multiple pets for friends, neighbors, and family members, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am attentive to each pet’s needs and make sure they receive the care, patience, and attention they deserve. In addition to pet care, I previously worked in childcare with RCMA, where I learned strong responsibility, supervision, and safety skills. My background in customer service has also helped me develop great communication and reliability when working with families. I am dependable, patient, and passionate about providing loving care for pets so owners can feel confident their animals are in good hands. I’m currently doing online school so I would plan my schedule to allow time for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins so pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I’m organized and dependable, which helps me maintain a routine that keeps pets happy, active, and safe. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide walks and playtime, and make sure pets have plenty of attention and supervision. I always keep the environment clean, safe, and comfortable while respecting the owner’s home and instructions. I also make sure doors, gates, and outdoor areas are secure so pets stay safe at all times. My goal is to create a calm, trustworthy environment where pets feel relaxed and owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. 🐶🐱

“He was so great! He was able to walk Kin on such short notice. King loved him too good walker.”

“Nalisha is great! She takes amazing pictures, the walks are always perfect and the pup is tired. From the jump she was super sweet, asking all the right questions, and of course the pup loves her. 10/10 recommend.”

About: I’ve raised Pugs to Jack Russell’s to Samoyeds. I’ve cared for many dogs from rescues to seniors. My sweet pug Ana was in a wheelchair for the last few years of her life. I’m currently retired and available to assist pet owners in the Sun City area with pet sitting and walking needs. I have a Jack Russell that is full of energy that loves to play with others and go on walks. My dog is an indoor/outdoor dog that loves hanging out on the lanai, playing ball and long walks. He gets along great with dogs and cats alike.

“Shayla has been absolutely amazing with my dog! I’ve had to make a few last-minute requests, and she has always been so accommodating and comes through for me every time. She’s reliable, caring, and very communicative, which I really appreciate. I love that she keeps me updated and sends pictures during the walks—it gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is being well taken care of. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust and feel completely comfortable leaving my fur baby with. I highly recommend her.”

About: I grew up in an animal loving house. My first dog was in third grade when my parents gifted me a shih tzu. I also would care for dogs for my next door neighbors , friends and family have asked me to walk , feed and care for their dog if they were unable too . I currently finished school full time and until I finish a few more courses I can be flexible with my time to care and help with your dogs.

About: My extensive professional training in animal handling and behavior sets me apart. While many sitters enjoy pets as a hobby, I have dedicated my career to their welfare. I am a National Animal Control Officer (Level II), which provides me with advanced training in safe animal handling for both dogs and cats, as well as emergency response protocols. My Special Skills Include: Certified Behavioral Knowledge: I hold a certification from Jackson Galaxy (since 2016), allowing me to manage anxiety and behavioral issues with a fear-free approach. Senior & Medical Care: Through my non-profit rescue work, I am highly skilled in caring for senior animals, including administering varied medications (injections, fluids, pills) and managing mobility issues. Trust & Reliability: I run a professional organization, so you can expect the highest level of communication, punctuality, and attention to detail. My schedule is entirely flexible because pet care is my professional focus. As the founder of a non-profit rescue, I have the autonomy to adjust my daily workload to ensure I am available for early mornings, critical medication times, and unexpected last-minute needs. Reliability is guaranteed. I care for every pet with the rigor of a professional rescuer and the heart of an advocate. Safety First: My background as a National Animal Control Officer (Level II) influences every decision I make. I am trained in risk assessment, meaning I proactively identify hazards (loose screens, toxic plants, escape routes) before they become problems. I am also fully trained in pet CPR and First Aid. Building Trust: Trust is built through consistency. Running a non-profit organization requires impeccable ethics and reliability. Whether in my home or yours, I adhere to strict feeding and medication schedules. A Low-Stress Environment: Using my Jackson Galaxy certification, I prioritize the pet's emotional well-being. I don't force interaction; instead, I use positive reinforcement and body language cues to build a bond. I am experienced in maintaining a sterile, healthy environment, ensuring that food bowls, litter boxes, and living areas are kept to rescue-grade standards of cleanliness.

About: I've had animals my whole life and love taking care of them. Friends and family often reach out for boarding, pet sitting and daycare. My genuine care for animals should give you guilt free feelings when leaving your babies in my care. I currently work from home which makes caring for your pet easier if you choose to bring them here. If not, my hours are 8-5 weekdays but free all day on the weekends. I currently have a pet free home and I also have a fenced yard. Happy to travel and stay at your home if your animal is more comfortable there.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since 2019 and gained professional experience working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, kittens, and older dogs. I’m comfortable with medications, special diets, and individual care needs. I’ve also raised my own pets, including my current puppy and cats. I’m patient, attentive, and especially comfortable with anxious pets. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is fairly flexible, with school being my main set commitment. I’m available throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and needs. I’ll communicate with you about availability ahead of time and make sure your pet gets the consistent care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I prioritize safety, trust, and following each pet’s normal routine. For drop-ins and walks, I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and other needs. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure and will keep pets supervised throughout my visit. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are safe and doing well.

“Emily is great! She really loves dogs and took excellent care of my senior dog. She let me know when she was on her way and provided lots of pictures.”

About: I've had cats my entire life and dogs for the past few years. I am huge animal lover and would love to help take care of your babies. I am a healthcare professional and am familiar with medications and can administer medications if needed. I currently have two great pyrenees and a black lab. Can help with walks, feeding, potty breaks or cuddles. I currently work full time during the week. I am available most weekday evenings, most Saturdays and every Sunday. I will eventually will be stepping down at my current job and will be able to offer more time then. I have a fenced in yard and 3 fur babies that love to play with other dogs. We have a dog park in the neighborhood that are dogs frequent. I have dog beds inside and outside on the patio and more dog toys than I can count.

About: I will love and cherish your pet because they deserve the world. 13 years of my life I’ve had always taken care of my own, friends and family pets. I have always been the one person to be relied on to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I love dogs/ pets in general, I have so much love to give because they have hearts too. I communicate with my clients about my work schedule and it’s pretty easy. I know there’s some pets that have schedules and I’d talk to my manager about it and get the day/days off :)) Each pet has their own bowl. I walk all of my dogs at the same time if fenced and I sit outside and watch to make sure they use the bathroom properly. I give them treats whenever but most importantly when they’re behaving good or if I’m training them a trick. I’m always with my dogs when I have to. I give my dogs water frequently since they stay outside for about 20-30 minutes just so they can have time to use the bathroom and play. I brush them 2-3 times a week, I feed my dogs 2-3 times a day and walk them around 4-5 times a day.

“Lindsay was great! She was able to accommodate our last minute request and came for a meet and greet the day of. She sent pictures and let us know how our dog was doing! We will definitely use her again.”
