“It’s always been “Puppy Love” for me!”
Hi, my name is Steff. I can't remember a time in my life that I didn't have at least one dog to love; my family currently shares our lives with two rescue dogs Harley and Frankie. I have a natural comfort around dogs and a healthy respect for them as well. I am interested in your specific pet and in making sure you are comfortable when I am helping you. I look forward to the opportunity to meet and take your dog on his/her next walking adventure and to help you keep your pup happy and healthy.

Hi, my name Sharon and I live in Gilbert, AZ. I’m excited to be a Wag Walker! I have been around dogs all my life and take care of my friends dogs when needed. I have experience with dog obedience and agility training. I have a dog named Ruby and she will be turning 17 in April. Ruby is always so excited to go on her daily walks. Dogs bring so much happiness and love into our lives, we consider them siblings and of course our family. My goal is to make sure your dog is safe and happy when we are together and on our walk. Please request me when you are looking for a Wag Walker. Thank you!

Dog Boarding in Gilbert
The town of Gilbert may once have been known as the “Hay Shipping Capital of the World”, but these days it has a few more strings to its bow. One of those strings is a thriving community of committed dog lovers, as well as a variety of animal rescue organizations that are always ready to provide help to pets who are doing it tough.
Friends for Life Animal Rescue is a perfect example. Founded in 1993 as Citizens for Tempe Strays, this non-profit is dedicated to the homeless and stray animals in and around Gilbert. It rescues dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes and helps them find loving owners, but also promotes spaying and neutering to help reduce pet overpopulation. If you’re looking to give an animal a new lease on life, Friends for Life Animal Rescue always has plenty of pets up for adoption.
It’s a similar story at Cooper’s Chance Animal Rescue, a non-profit, no-kill animal rescue that was established in 2006. With a mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome abused and neglected animals, Cooper’s Chance Animal Rescue gives rescued dogs the care and rehabilitation they need to find happiness in a new forever home.
Whether providing essential medical care to abused and neglected animals, rescuing and rehabilitating abandoned puppies and homeless mothers with nursing litters from shelters, or providing dignified end-of-life care to abandoned senior dogs and terminally ill pets, this inspirational organization makes a huge difference to the animals that need help the most.
