Dog Sitting Black Forest

About: I've looked out for friends and family dogs since I was around 15. I love to go on walks and care for others animals! I would love to connect with your furry friend if help is needed! I am currently on summer break so my schedule is open to any day and any time! I would prefer to walk dogs in the mornings and no walks after dark! I am willing to learn your fur babies usual walking route, as well as venture out on other walks. I am a short walk away from Leigh Park. I am willing to make any accommodations to make you and your pet feel as comfortable as possible.

About: I have provided consistent dog sitting services throughout 2023, working with repeat clients and building reliable routines with the pets in my care. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including puppies under one year old and senior dogs, as well as both large and small breeds. I have experience caring for cats. I also have experience caring for: hedgehogs, reptiles, horses, chickens, and ducks. In addition to pet care, I regularly handle house sitting responsibilities such as watering plants, bringing in mail, and maintaining a clean, secure home. I focus on being dependable, attentive, and respectful of both your pets’ needs and your home. I am currently working part time - three days a week - but am still able to dog-sit during those parts of the week as well. Fridays-Mondays I can be present most of the day and will only be gone 4 hours at a time. I care for pets in their home by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I adjust care based on each pet’s age, energy level, and needs. I also keep the home tidy and secure, and can provide updates as requested. Just a quick heads-up! For privacy reasons, I’m only able to accept bookings in homes without indoor cameras. Thank you for understanding and respecting this boundary!

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience with animals. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily life. When I got my own dog in sixth grade, I took full responsibility for training and caring for him myself, which taught me patience, consistency, and responsibility at a young age. I also have experience with senior dogs. I cared for my elderly dog who needed frequent potty breaks, including waking up during the night to go outside. That experience made me especially attentive, compassionate, and understanding of the extra care and patience older dogs need. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability, so I’m able to fully prioritize pet care and give animals the attention and consistency they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Growing up on a farm taught me responsibility, awareness, and how to confidently care for animals of all kinds. I understand how important consistency is for pets. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I also have experience caring for senior dogs who require extra patience, frequent potty breaks, and even nighttime care, so I’m very attentive to signs that a pet needs to go outside or needs extra comfort. I treat every home with respect, keeping things clean and organized, and I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so owners feel completely at ease while they’re away.

“Tonya is great! She is reliable and good with my cats. We've had her sit for us a few times and has always been someone who is calm and patient with them. She lets them come around on their own and makes sure they are comfortable. She is trustworthy and follows your routine. I appreciate that she is very responsive.”

“She was very nice and accommodating at the last minute! Took care of my doggies and they seem very content :) she even brought in a package for me”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 9 . My family has relied on me to walk their dogs , feed and bath them I’m currently employed part time but seeking to work extra hours. Trying to find gigs such as this which could work with my class schedules and my other personal things. I have a fenced yard in my house, and friendly dogs as well. I usually take my dogs on walks every morning and evening depending.

“Kim has been watching my cats for several months and she’s amazing every time! She treats your pets like her own and I couldn’t ask for more. She’s amazing. Thank you Kim!”

“Caring, thorough, flexible! Our dogs love Garrett!”

About: I was a casual dog person until about 8 years ago, when I met my Lunabear. I put her into obedience classes just to make sure she had the basics of recall and public behavior but we ended up becoming a Therapy Dog team that works in schools, hospitals, and other public events. It also led us to work in training not just my own dog, but using our relationship to help other dog owners train their dogs, as well. I have experience in shaping behavior and other higher-level training skills, but I also have a senior dog that has required a great deal of remedial training and I also have experience in dealing with leash aggression and general reactivity. I have a very flexible schedule and reliable transportation so I can be available for walks, sitting, playtime, and training just about any time, anywhere in town! I have three dogs and a fenced yard at my home, as well as extra crates (for small to medium-sized dogs), though I'd prefer to work at my clients' homes or in public unless training in a new environment is specifically requested/required

“Very attentive to care and great communication! Will use again!”

About: Hello! My boyfriend and I just moved to Colorado Springs a couple months ago. I work from home as a Marketing Coordinator for a nonprofit so I have a lot of flexibility during the day! I like to stay active and get steps while working a desk job. So this seems like a fun opportunity to hang with cute pups and get those steps :) Back in Texas I volunteered a two shelters there and fostered a pitty for a bit! My families dogs are a Boxer and Boston Terrier. So I am familiar with different energy levels and sizes! We also have a tuxedo cat named Darkness (my boyfriend named him 😝). I work from home in marketing at a nonprofit. My schedule is typically very flexible and would love to spend breaks walking pups or checking in on pets! For check-ins, if possible please leave a little instruction page/ blurb about your dog or cat and their schedule! Details about their food, meds if any, and playtime/walks are extremely helpful.

About: I grew up with dogs and I have my own now! I have cared for cats as well, as I always ended up being friends with cat people!! I currently am working as a medical assistant and getting my master’s degree in Human Nutrition, but I need to ensure space in my life for the more enjoyable things: amazing animals! I have one gentle giant at home who is always happy for a friend. I am a big fan of leashes and collars to ensure animal safety!

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages. I have three dogs of my own—two that are a year old or younger and one senior dog—so I’m comfortable meeting the different needs that come with each stage of life. From energetic puppies who need patience, training reinforcement, and lots of exercise to senior dogs who require a gentler pace and extra attention, I understand how to provide the right care. I walk my dogs every morning, so regular exercise and maintaining a consistent routine are already a part of my daily life. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, while keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m currently a college student and attend classes three days a week, which leaves me available in the afternoons. On my days off, I enjoy taking my three dogs to the park or on long walks to keep them active, happy, and mentally stimulated. Caring for my own dogs every day has made pet care a regular part of my lifestyle. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra attention, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care that fits their routine and helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is happy and well cared for. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with regular potty breaks, daily walks, playtime, fresh water, and lots of affection. Since I have three friendly dogs of my own, I always make sure introductions are done carefully and that every pet feels comfortable and secure. My goal is to give pets a stress-free experience where they feel safe, loved, and right at home.

“Dan is absolutely amazing—it honestly brings tears to my eyes thinking about how well he takes care of our dogs while we’re away. He’s reliable, thoughtful, and truly goes above and beyond. We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. Thank you so much, Dan!”

Amber M.

“Dan was wonderful, caring and consistent! Great with communication and pictures everyday. He really went out if his way to connect with my cat and build trust everyday. I will definitely call on his services again in the future.”

Tina K.

“This was our first time booking Izzy for drop in visits for one day. We have 2 labs rather large in size and she did amazing! You can tell she has lots of experience with dogs. We highly recommend her and will use her in the future.”

About: I have two daughters who love our cat and dog. Both pets are great with other animals. I have a fenced yard for dogs to run around and I am able to walk them as they may need. My dog, Draper, is a small breed and loves to hang out with the humans, but also loves to run around in the back. We have plenty of dog toys but feel free to bring any, also anything like a blanket to make your pet feel more at home. The same goes with treats. I will always ask before giving any pet our food or treat. Your pet will be right at home and will not be treated any different from our own. Anything you would like to know just ask. I have a dog and cat of my own, your pup will be treated like they are part of the family. The weekends we go on hikes, your pup will come along if that is ok with you, during the week I can walk mornings and evenings. I have a fenced yard, which allows for dogs to have a safe place to play and let some energy out. They will have Draper (dog host) who loves to chase around the backyard.

“Kyley has been the best, incredibly reliable and so kind. We always know our girl in the best hands and a bonus she also has a golden retriever!”

About: Hi, I’m Savannah. I work at a doggy daycare and have owned many dogs and cats throughout my life. I am 19 years old and I love animals. I would love to take care of your animals and treat them like my own, with love. I work a 9 to 5 at a doggy daycare Monday through Friday. I am available for drop ins or housesitting that can accommodate to that schedule. I live in an apartment with a dog park, and I usually go on walks in the morning and afternoon. I spend most of my time outside and would love to take your dog with me.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been pet sitting since I was about 12 years old for family, neighbors, friends, and clients. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I have experience with both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. My services include: - Dog walking (including multiple dogs at once) - Drop-in visits for dogs and cats - Overnight care & house sitting - Feeding and fresh water - Dog baths and brushing - Administering medication as needed - Playtime, enrichment, and lots of cuddles! - Light household tasks during stays (watering plants, bringing in mail, tidying up, etc.) While I unfortunately cannot currently have my own dog, I truly need my animal time — which means your pets get my full attention, love, and care! I do have a cat and pet snail at home, so caring for animals (no matter how small!) is always part of my daily life. What truly sets me apart is the way animals respond to me. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, and animals often seem to feel comfortable around me very quickly. I take the time to read their body language, respect their boundaries, and build trust at their pace — whether that means energetic play, structured walks, or quiet companionship. I don’t rush care or treat it as a checklist; I focus on making sure each dog feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you’re away! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive. Whether your pet loves long walks, quiet companionship, or endless belly rubs, I’ll tailor my care to their needs and routine. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! :) Pet care fits naturally into my routine, even alongside my graduate studies. As a current doctoral student, my schedule can be a bit unconventional but also flexible, which allows me to thoughtfully plan time around each pet’s needs. I’m available all day Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, as well as Monday mornings and evenings and Thursday afternoons and evenings. Depending on your pet’s individual routine and needs, I’m often able to accommodate drop-in visits every day throughout the week — I’m always happy to discuss what works best for your schedule. I prioritize clear communication and consistency, so you can feel confident knowing your pets are receiving reliable, attentive care! I prefer to provide care in my client’s home whenever possible, since most pets feel safest and most comfortable in their own familiar space. Being in their home allows them to stick to their normal routine, environment, and schedule, which can really reduce stress while their family is away. I take the time to learn each pet’s habits, preferences, and daily routine so I can care for them as consistently as possible. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk, staying overnight, or house-sitting, I make sure your pet receives attentive care, enrichment, and plenty of affection — all while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and secure. I’m also happy to handle household tasks, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident that your pets are happy and safe. My goal is always to make your time away as easy as possible, and your pet’s experience as calm, comfortable, and happy as I can!
