“Kaitlin was awesome! Very responsive and took my dog a good long walk and gave her water and let her eat after. Would recommend!”

“Nicole is an amazing dog walker! I was nervous at first as Kiva gets nervous around new walkers or sitters. She picked him up and took him to the dog park. He loved the walk and the time with her. Nicole was prompt, great at communication and has a really positive and awesome personality . So grateful for her!”

About: I grew up on a small farm with lots of animals, always taking the dogs on walks or keeping the cat food away from raccoons. I've walked many people's dogs across the country of various sizes and ages and love having pets in the home while I don't have any myself. I usually am working from home or gone for a few hours a day. I love waking up and walking the dog outside before starting my day and winding down in the evenings the same way. Walking/outside breaks throughout the day is crucial for me and I love having a pet to accompany me. On the weekend I love to hike in the mountains and enjoy taking dogs. I have a park next to my apartment for easy walks., I'm always attentive to their eating schedule. Pets get a lot of attention and snuggles especially in the evening.

“Came to walk my dog and went above and beyond to make sure she was settled in. Stayed extra to play with her because she had the puppy zoomies!! Even ensure the safety precautions I have in place as far as rooms blocked off were set before he left and I didn’t even ask him! Great dog sitter”

“Jasper has been a huge help walking our dog, Birdie. She can be very nervous and somewhat reactive around new people, but he has been incredibly patient and accommodating with her. He’s given her the time and space she needs to slowly warm up, which we really appreciate. Jasper is always timely, responsible, professional, and very communicative. You can truly tell he loves animals, and Birdie is in great hands with him!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and years of caring for a variety of breeds since moving to the valley. I’m skilled at handling multiple dogs at once, including those with different temperaments, ensuring each one receives the care and attention they need. I have a very flexible schedule and I am able to travel to provide my services. With some notice I can be available for anything you need! I have one gray tabby cat who is a little timid with dogs at first but warms up quickly and has made friends with several dogs in the past. We are able to separate her in another room if needed. She is not great with other cats but as stated before we can separate if and when needed to ensure comfort and safety for everyone involved! I professionally care for your home property and pets, handling tasks like plant care, mail collection, bird feeders, snow clearing, feeding and medications if necessary, As well as any other duties during your absence. With experience overseeing properties for extended periods, I ensure all needs are met with direct and frequent communication, so you can have peace of mind knowing your home and your pets are in trusted hands!

About: Ever since I can remember, I’ve been surrounded by animals. Growing up with three large dogs and two cats gave me a strong foundation in animal care and a lifelong love for pets. Over the years, I have volunteered more than 130 hours with animal shelters and rescue organizations, gaining hands-on experience with a wide variety of tasks including walking, bathing, administering medications, transporting animals to and from veterinary appointments, and fostering dogs in need in my home. I’m also a full-time dog mom and currently work part-time from home, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide attentive care. I love spending time outdoors, whether that’s long neighborhood walks, hiking local trails, or simply enjoying fresh air with a happy pup by my side. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I would love the opportunity to help with all of your pet care needs and provide peace of mind while you're away. I have two dogs at home that I care for full time. First thing in the morning I let my pups outback into the fenced in yard. I then feed them breakfast around 7:30am. We love to go to the park or for walks, we do this every day. Some days we will head up to a lake or reservoir for some swimming. We have dinner in the evening and potentially another walk. When caring for a pet in your home, I like to do a meet and greet with the dog first if that is a possibility. When being in your home I can provide the dog with treats and a slow introduction to gain their trust. Once this has been completed, then I will go about their daily routine per your request.

About: A little about me, I work from home, so I’m around all day to give your pets extra attention. I also love to be outside, so you can expect your pups to get plenty of walks when with me! I have experience watching dogs with a large range of personalities: anxious dogs, older dogs, reactive dogs, and a lot in between. I’m comfortable with pets that have medical needs or unique routines. I also understand how important it is to keep your pet on their typical routine so that’s a main goal of mine when you’re out of town. I also prioritize being communicative, I love to share photos I have taken and updates when I’m with your pup. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’d love to meet you and your pets! I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend extra time with your pets throughout the day as needed. I’m available for dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting during both weekdays and weekends. Because of my flexible work setup, I’m able to provide consistent attention, companionship, walks, feeding, and check ins while helping pets maintain their normal routine and feel comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pets and your home. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while closely following your pet’s normal routines, needs, and instructions. I have experience with pets that have medical needs, behavioral challenges, anxiety, high energy levels, and multi pet households. I’m highly organized, dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail, and I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing while in my care.

About: I've always grown up with dogs and have been a dog lover my whole life. I have been house sitting and animal sitting for about 10 years now. I love spending time with dogs and making sure they're still happy while their parents are away! This is a win-win situation for both of us because your dog will be well taken care of, and I get to play with it! All fun aside, I do make sure to pay close attention and take care of each dog's individual needs. Everybody's unique so that will always be taken into account. Let me know what you need and I will make sure to help! I'm also a big fan of exercise so if you've got a dog that loves to run, lets run! I have a very open schedule, most of the time I only work at night and rarely for more than 6 hours. I can usually adjust my schedule as needed. Depending on the dog, I always take extra steps to guarantee that they stay safe. Whether that means taking extra note to make sure all doors to rooms are closed, foods are high out of reach, etc.

About: I’ve owned and trained two dogs from puppyhood—a Husky and my current German Wirehaired Pointer, Lenny. Training and building a strong relationship with my dogs has always been important to me. Having lived in the Roaring Fork Valley for over 12 years, I spend most of my time outdoors hiking, walking, and exploring. When your pup stays with me—whether for an hour, a day, or overnight—you can count on them getting plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. They’ll come home happy, tired, and ready to snuggle. I work from home so I usually get out for a walk or run in the morning. Afternoon jont to split up the day and then an evening activity depending on what is on the schedule. I have a fenced backyard and Lenny (my pup) to add to the fun. She’s a great companion to other dogs but also great for training.
