Dog Walking Woods Cross

“Ben is great!! My dog is a rescue and can be a bit skittish around strangers especially men, but Jethro isn’t scared seems to really like Ben and enjoys his visits with him. Ben has been walking and playing with my dog during visits and really trying to get to know my dog. I appreciate everything he has done and will continue booking him for weekly visits. Ben is definitely five stars!!”

About: I have lifelong experience caring for a wide range of animals, including cats, dogs, rabbits, lizards, turtles, hamsters, mice, and rats. Because of this, I’m comfortable adapting to different care routines, energy levels, and personalities — from active pets who need structured play and exercise to quieter animals who thrive with calm, consistent care. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, enrichment, and basic health monitoring. I’m also comfortable following specific care instructions to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment while their owners are away. I work from home with a very flexible schedule so I can make most any sitting/walking times work with my schedule. I volunteer to care for rescue cats every Sunday at Petco, usually around noon. I've been known to spend hours at a home when I am cat-sitting for friends to ensure their pet gets plenty of attention while they're away. I'm also a nail-trimming pro and would be happy to try (at least) trimming your cat's nails, if asked. I have had senior cats of my own that required medication, I've given pills, powders, eye drops, and injections before.

About: I’ve taken care of doggies of all kinds (big to small, puppy to senior) for most of my life. When I was younger I was trusted by many in my neighborhood whether it was staying with their dogs, having them stay with me, or getting them out for walks! I have also cared for a family friend’s three dogs for two weeks at a time on multiple occasions, so I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets and keeping up with their routines. I have a pup back home named Scruffy, he just celebrated his sweet 16🐶. My schedule is very flexible right now, so I’m able to give your pets lots of attention throughout the day and keep them company. I am happy to care for them in my home or come to yours, whatever makes you and your pet most comfortable! Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. My home has a fenced-in yard, which gives dogs a secure space to get outside and play. I’m also happy to follow any specific feeding, walking, or care instructions to make sure each pet feels comfortable and right at home.

About: I have a BS in Psychology, and a MA in Applied Behavioral Analysis. I am currently working on my CPBT-KA to apply all my knowledge to become a dog trainer. I LOVE all animals especially dogs and rescued my own golden doodle 5 years ago. I am currently in the process of gaining my dog training fieldwork hours and so I’m trying to gain as much experience with different breeds and sizes of dogs as possible. I am available most of the day outside of school drop offs and pick ups for my kids. I believe in positive reinforcement only and animals are just as important as humans. I treat all pets with the upmost respect, kindness and patience that all living things deserve.

About: I’ve always had a cat and dogs throughout my life and have pet sit for my neighbors/family many times. I love animals and will enjoy playing with and getting to know your fur baby! I’m a part time student and have lots of free time during the week. My schedule is very flexible, I’m willing to work around your own schedule as needed. I can feed, water, walk, play with, and provide general company to your pet, as well as administer medication if needed. I pay close attention to any special needs instructions and follow them carefully.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 13 years and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I understand how important it is for pet parents to know their furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means going for walks, playing, sticking to a feeding schedule, administering basic medications if needed, or simply providing companionship and plenty of affection. I also understand that some dogs need extra time to warm up, while others have lots of energy and love to play. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I believe in keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. I’m currently looking for job so my week is free for anyone who needs their furry little critters to look after them while you are away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications (if applicable), and any special instructions you provide. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your home and your pet with the utmost respect. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your home clean and secure, make sure your pet has fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll also provide updates with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is doing well. I understand that every pet is different, so I adapt my care to their personality and needs, whether they enjoy active play, quiet companionship, or extra patience while they settle in.

About: Ive grown up around a variety of animals my entire life, from your standard cats and dogs, to rabbits and chinchillas, to turtles and ducks! I have experience taking care of pets with specific medical needs and those who have limited mobility. Ive been watching over pets both for my family and for friends for 8 years and would love to be able to help take care of your furry (or not so furry) family members! I am a recent graduate from the University of Utah and am in the process of searching for a job, so Ive decided to spend this extra time devoted to both mine and other's pets! At my own home, I have two cats. One cat has chronic pancreatitis and often needs medicine to treat her symptoms, both in pill and liquid form. The other cat is an escape artist so I know how to walk into my home with extra caution to ensure they stay inside. Both cats can be playful, so we use laser pointers, furry mice toys, and worms on a stick to make sure they get their energy out, but we make sure not to use feathers or loose strings that could be harmful if ingested. We also have plenty of scratching posts available, as well as two cat trees for them to climb and scratch to their hearts content. In the case of discipline, my husband and I use a spray bottle of water to help discourage unwanted behaviors.

“Mia was an absolute lifesaver when I needed a last minute walk for Surya. Her bright spirit and natural warmth made such a lovely impression and Surya adored her from the moment she pulled into the driveway. Finding someone he connects with so effortlessly is a gift. What began as a last minute booking became someone we’ll happily welcome back again and again! 💫”

“Becky was fantastic. She has a very outgoing personality and is always smiling. My dog Goldie knows when she is coming over and gets so excited to see her and loves her walks with Becky. Becky is always on time for her appointments and truly loves pets. I absolutely recommend her.”

About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, and many other small pets since since 10 years old. I also currently pet sit for my sister's dog and cat regularly. I have always loved animals and put lots of effort into giving them the best care possible. I am very responsible and great at independent work. I will make sure your pets are taken care of well every time! I am currently a full-time student. I usually have the most time in the afternoons/evenings for walking or check-ins. I’m also available all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I am not able to care for pets in my own home, as I already have two cats that don't do well with other animals. However, I have a reliable car and driver's license, so I am willing to travel anywhere to take care of your pets. I can follow instructions well and will make sure to take great care of your pets and your home.

“Hailee does a great job. She followed my instructions for my pups needs, took good pictures, and reached out to me since too hot outside and asked if different route can be taken. She also communicated promptly and directly. I felt safe leaving my dog with her to care for.”

“Joseph was so calm with my dog. Took the time to get to know him before taking him for the walk. He was very sweet with my dog. My dog had fun on his walks doing for runs and being playful.”

“Amanda was the perfect choice for my pup! After working from home for so long over the past year I was worried about leaving Rupert home alone all day. Amanda took time to show Rupert some love, walked him around a lot, and went above and beyond for us. I will certainly use her again moving forward!!”

About: I love nature and animals and I’ve raised and trained small to medium sized dogs such as Pekingese, Shih Tzus, West Highland White Terriers and Lhasa Apso since I was a boy and loved them all! I am a retired Federal Officer and love hiking with canine company. I am usually available weekdays between 0900-1500 for drop in visits and evenings upon request. I have a fenced yard in my home if I am available to board your dog and I can easily crate your fur baby if necessary.

About: I live with my hubby in our lovely, warm, full Rose Park home. We have one mature cat (female - Frida, spayed; RIP 10/2025 at age 20!) and a Great Pyrenees mix, Wadi (male, neutered). I WFH and we share a vehicle. We are a very active family, but we also know how to relax and cuddle! We believe in putting our pets first as much as we can, and will do the same for yours. Hire me for an empathetic and adaptable caregiver for your pet! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, pending I have access to our shared family vehicle. I am most available Mondays, Fridays, and weekends, but can work something out with advance notice T-Th. I live and reside on the Westside and share a car with my hubby; therefore, it’s best if I’m also able to access a vehicle in case of emergencies, for general commuting, and any puppy dog or kitty cat field trips. I have a small fenced backyard and dogs are part of the family. At this time, we are tentatively open to doing one or two small to midsize dog overnight stays in our home just because of space, but I will keep folks apprised of when/if that changes.

About: I grew up watching my neighbors dogs, cats and ferrets. I fed, played, went on walks and kept them company. I’ve been a dog owner for 5 years. My favorite thing to do is go mountain biking with both of my dogs. My work schedule is flexible as it’s from 7am-3pm or 3pm-8pm Mon-Fri and rotating weekends. Let me know what works best for you and your fur buddy! At my home I have 2 dogs whom are friendly with other dogs. I have a fenced patio where your fur friend can use 24/7 while I’m in the house. I can provide more potty breaks in the front yard if need be. I would go on walks 30 min - 1 hour. If feeling more adventurous with your consent, I’d teach and go on bike rides through the neighborhood as I do with my own dogs. Your fur friend would be allowed on my furniture unless the rules at your home is to not let them on, I would apply the same rule. I have a XL crate if need be. At your home I would follow any rules you have with them and I’d come up with a game plan with you about feeding, and outdoor activities.

These days, my dog Stella is my best friend and goes just about everywhere with me! Please let me know when booking if your pup is comfortable around other dogs or prefers their space, either is totally okay! I just like to know ahead of time. *Stella will need to be with me for any house sitting requests Whether you need house sitting, drop-in visits, or walks, I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and send plenty of photos and updates along the way. Long story short, I love all pet companions and look forward to meeting yours! 🐾💜 I’m in between jobs at the moment, so my availability is fairly open!
