Dog Walking in Grand Junction

About: Business Hours: 10AM - 5PM for walks and drop-ins. Note: 10:00AM to 2PM currently booked monday-friday _____________ I have owned and taken care of my family's canine companion for many years, as well as assisted in caring for multiple cats, and birds. I have volunteered in vet clinics, animal shelters, and the Children's Nature Center, and so have ample experience caring for animals of all types. As of May 2018 I graduated with a Baccalaureate in Biology, so I am well versed with the ins and outs of animals and can offer your pets exceptional care. Whether you need someone to watch them for a weekend, or simply need someone to take your beloved canine for a walk, I am happy to help. Each animal is different, and as such it is my goal to tailor my sitting and walking methods to the individuals in my care. I also understand that communication with my clients is key to ensuring the best possible experience for your four-legged family members. Send me a message today and you won't be disappointed. I am currently available for house-sitting, walks, and drop-in visits. I will also watch other small animals. They can be charged as if they are cats on the website. Just message and ask and we can discuss possibilities. I am self-employed and help care for my disabled parents. This means I have a fairly open schedule, but it also means that I may be in and out on occasion to help take them to appointments. I ensure dogs cannot escape from yards when let out, and I do not leave unknown dogs unattended in the yard. I understand door safety and the importance of.a.good crate, when needed.

“Kriz is so awesome! Caring and courteous and so responsive. She was able to add on an extra day of walks at no problem when our plans shifted. Highly recommend!!”

“Sharon seems like a very conscientious dog walker. She was attentive to my schedule and to the dogs. Also was good at communicating with me. Will definitely use again.”

“Colt was nice, kind, to my girls he did more than he was supposed to do while I was gone and showed up every time and for that I appreciate him. Thank you so much.”

About: I've always had a family dog I've helped take care of, but 7 years ago I got a dog of my own. I really learned the amount of effort it takes to care for a dog, and I learmed that quality time is the most important aspect of caring for a dog. I always made a priority to play with her or pet her or walk her to ensure we spent plenty of quality time together. In addition for caring for my own dog, I've dog sat for a few friends and acquaintances overnight. I love that each dog has it's own unique personality! As of right now I have open availability! I'm currently a college student, so I still have about another month until school starts back up. I can sit anytime except August 4th -7th until school starts! Like many dogs, I'm an active individual. If your dog requires a lot of exercise, I'm more than happy to take them for as many walks as they need or play with them! If your dog is more mellow, I can just relax with them. Whatever needs your dog has, I am more than happy to care for them. In terms of safety, I always make sure to walk dogs at an appropriate leash length and make sure that doors in the house aren't open or dangerous objects are within their reach.

“I love how Ranger loves Brooke! She is great with him, Love the nice walk she took him on and so thankful she was there for him while I worked!”

“Great walk in the rain !!! Thank you Kelsey for getting us out . You’re the best !!”

“Communication is great, she's always friendly and understanding. She's helped me out several times and she's great with my dog”

“Abbey was great! Kenyan was so happy to go for a walk! She was here on time and sent multiple pictures! We will definitely have Abbey help out again.”

“We have a Rhodesian Ridgeback who weighs around 92 pounds and is nothing but muscle and bone. We've had folks babysit or walk her in the past (new baby!) who needed to use her front clip harness to keep her in control (the front clip pulls her head and body back toward you if she gets the crazies or sees a squirrel! so she refocuses on you). Serena has been walking Zoe in her regular collar with no problem. Zoe comes back happy and tired after each walk. She's very excited when she sees Serena coming to our door. It's not often we can find someone who will walk a large, energetic dog and Serena's done great!”

“Debra has always been a pet lover and has owned dogs and cats throughout her life. She is a very loving, caring and giving person who is very responsible and experienced with animals. She used to be a foster mom for cats and showered them with affection and love. I love animals and presently own a cat, I would trust Debra to care for her and know that she would be loved and protected while I am away. Your pets would be in good hands if Debra was there to care for them.”

“Kyla is phenomenal! I've had her watch my dogs multiple times over the past 8 years , she will send pupdates fallow guidelines and loves on your animals. she's very respectful and has great communication. My dogs love her (I have 3) and she handles them all very well. I just love her !”

“Andrea is an amazing and a very loving pet caregiver. She is caring and responsible. I have seen how loving and adoring she is with my french bulldog/Boston terrier , Brutus, since he was 6 weeks old and now 1 year. Andrea F. treats pets like they are part of her family and I would definitely trust her 100%!!!”

“We fully trusted Debbie with a foster dog we had for several years. Tucker was an older lab and required a little bit more attention and patience and we always knew he would be well loved when Debbie was watching him. She made sure he was loved and played with whenever she was around him. We appreciated her care with him when we needed her help!”

“Jasmine is just wonderful! They came out visit the day before to meet Wiggles and us. Which was such a nice opportunity to talk about everything as opposed to just leaving notes. Wiggy loves Jasmine and should we ever need anyone to keep an eye on him again we wiumd definitely book with them again! Wiggy actually threw up and Jasmine cleaned it for us, texted us to let us know, and set our minds at ease that he was doing ok (probably just got excited!) there is all the care and concern you could ask for!”

“Angela does a great job walking my dog. She sends thorough updates and pictures during and after each walk. She also makes sure to give my dog water during walks on hot days. My dog loves taking walks with Angela and your dog will too.”

“If you're looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter, I highly recommend my friend, Theresa. She has years of experience working with dogs of all breeds and sizes. She's very attentive to their needs and always goes above and beyond to make sure they're happy and comfortable. She's also very responsible and will take great care of your home while you're away. I've used her services many times and have always been extremely satisfied with her work. Your furry friend will be in great hands with Theresa!”

“Anna is one heck of a Dog lover, the first time she met my dog Todd, she was on the floor with him giving him kisses and snuggles. Todd was attached to her the whole time, and she was loving every moment of it. When I saw their connection, I felt okay asking her to watch him when I went away for a weekend, I trusted her. She would send me updated pictures and if had any questions she would reach out (didn’t have many questions at all). When I got home Todd was sad to see her leave. I can 100% trust Anna to watch over my baby boy again.”

“Brad and Olivia are kind, fun and caring for my dog Kea. They are responsible and trustworthy with heart! When I told them how Kea loved to find hidden treats they loaned me a hidden treat toy to use with her until she tires of it.”

About: i have had the pleasure of pet sitting for the past 8 years and i have gained so much respect for furry friends and there owners in that period of time. i have pet sit all kinds of animals in the past 8 years and have gained so much experience. i love being able to create a connection with all different kinds of animals, and i think that is one of the many benefits of taking care of animals. i believe that my level of experience sets me apart from other sitters because it is sometimes hard to find someone with a high level of experience these days. those with lower levels of experience do not have the same level of knowledge compared to those with years of experience and that is only obtained with time. i am so excited to continue taking care of animals and i look forward to seeing what kind of experience i gain during this journey! i work from home so i am extremely flexible when it comes to my weekly routine. i work in the morning so i am able to work anytime after 1 everyday. i am available monday-saturday anytime after 1 but if i am needed in the morning i can try to make arrangements! the pets in our home are no short of extremely spoiled. since we spoil our pets in our house i like to make sure that my clients pets are getting the exact same treatment. we make sure to have lots of playtime and cuddles and our pets bellies are always full! i always to make sure to take our pets out for walks daily and make sure that all there many needs are met. i have always made sure that my clients pets receive the same level of treatment and care and will continue to do so for the rest of my time caring for these wonderful animals!
