Dog Sitting Black Forest

About: I've had dogs and cats usually both at the same time as my children were growing up. Since early 70's. I loved them and they seem to like me ok. The last dog I had was a Border Collie rescue that I adopted in Omaha 2017 she was found in Louisiana. Her and I moved to Colorado in 2020. She was very sweet and also loved other animals in the building where we lived including cats. Sadly, she passed 2024. We could communicate just with body language and looking into each other's eyes as I spoke to her. I still interact with all the dogs in the building when I see them. We would also go on hikes up at Palmer Park on the off-leash dog trail. Made a lot of friends with dogs there as well. I now live with my children and their 3 cats. They are very sweet also. Lots of cuddle time. Our pets just need love and attention and know that we care. So, I do tend to spoil them while abiding by the rules. I do have obligations a couple of times a week during the day. I'm usually gone about 2-3 hours when that happens. Evening meetings twice a month for couple of hours. I will do errands and help friends out from time to time. However, when I am scheduled to take care of a pet I work my schedule around them. Thursday mornings are the only day I cannot reschedule but I'm only gone for 2-3 hours average. Take the dogs for walks if client wishes / allows. Pay attention to cats and dogs so they don't feel alone. Stick to the routine the clients have set for them. Also change cats litter boxes when needed.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and caring for them has always been a huge part of my life. When I lived in Tennessee, I was the go-to dog walker and pet sitter in my neighborhood and was consistently booked every single day. I also worked at a veterinary clinic for three years during school breaks, which gave me hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, temperaments, and care needs. I currently have a Border Collie that I trained myself, along with a German Shorthaired Pointer, so I’m very familiar with high-energy breeds and the importance of both physical activity and mental stimulation. I’m active, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Right now, I’m studying full-time for my physical therapy boards, which gives me a very flexible schedule to provide reliable and consistent care. I’m observant, responsible, and truly treat every pet like my own—with patience, care, and lots of love. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently studying full-time for my physical therapy boards, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I plan my study blocks around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. I’m already used to an active routine with my own dogs, so adding walks, outdoor time, and structured play is something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening needs, and I’m reliable when it comes to maintaining a pet’s normal schedule. Overall, pet care isn’t something I “fit in”, it’s something I intentionally build my day around to ensure pets get the time, attention, and care they deserve. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule—feeding times, walks, play, and any medications—while also keeping the space clean and secure. I’m very communicative and will send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They get plenty of exercise, structured play, and a safe, supervised environment. I’m especially experienced with high-energy dogs, so I make sure they get both physical activity and mental stimulation. I’m always observant of behavior, appetite, and overall health to ensure pets stay happy and safe. Whether in my home or yours, I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely care about making pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals—-dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs etc. I’m a very detail oriented person and I love when an owner gives me as much detail as possible in order to take the best care of their baby ☺️ I’ve taken care of dogs of different breeds, all sizes and dogs with different needs (helping a dog thru a weight loss journey, anxious shy dogs, dogs that require medication etc). I love animals more than I love people and it shows! Anytime I meet someone’s pet, they’re always drawn to me and I feel very honored by that! I’m extremely patient and calm with animals because I have had my own pets who had special needs. I’m currently new to the Colorado Springs area and doing gig work, so I can be available to check on your pets anytime throughout the day! I treat a clients home with the utmost respect and only go where authorized or use only what the client tells me to for their pet! I’m very attentive to pets’ safety and I will treat your baby with the love and respect that I treat my own with ☺️

About: My name is Sonia! I have been dog sitting and walking since 2015 and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I truly love spending time with dogs and enjoy everything from leisurely neighborhood walks to long, adventurous hikes and energetic play sessions. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have two dogs of my own: Blossom, my sweet long-haired miniature Dachshund, and Cactus, my playful black Goldendoodle. They have given me plenty of hands-on experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I am comfortable caring for both high- and low-energy dogs and am happy to tailor walks and activities to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your pup prefers a short stroll, a long walk, a hike, or simply some playtime and companionship, I’m happy to accommodate them. I am also comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions, feeding schedules, exercise routines, and other special requests. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I’m available all day, every day for the next six weeks! Beginning in late September, I’ll be available weekdays after 2:00 PM and all day on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide plenty of flexibility for your pet’s needs. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs or routines your pet has. I’m happy to give your pets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and enrichment while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home with your pets, so I’ll treat both your home and your animals with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“We are so grateful to have Karen check in on our guinea pigs during the holidays! She is reliable, responsive, cares for our pigs, and goes the extra mile. She is our first choice for pet sitting!”

“Alexandra was amazing with our dog! She came by 2-3X a day for 2 weeks while we were out of town. She was always on time, communicative, great with updates and photos. I never had a concern with our pup while we were away, as I knew she was in good hands. We will gladly book with Lexie again and highly recommend her!”

Chelsea P.

“Emily was amazing! I highly recommend using her if you’re needing someone to watch your pup! She sent us lots of pictures and updates with how she was doing. I was initially really worried about leaving Luna alone for the first time and she completely put my mind at ease.”

About: I specialize in small and medium dogs, along with seniors and special needs dogs. I've worked from home for 15+ years, which means constant, cozy company for your dog, with no long stretches alone. - I currently only board small dogs overnight and can accept small and medium dogs for drop-in daycare in my home. - I can walk and drop in your home for dogs of all sizes. I've also volunteered with birds and horses, so patience and hands-on care come naturally to me. After adopting my sweet senior dog at age 14, I stayed by his side until he passed at 17. Caring for dogs now is how I honor his memory. I'd love to spoil your pup while you're away. Because I work from home full-time, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. Your dog will have constant 24/7 companionship, regular gentle potty breaks, and a calm, cozy environment. I have two friendly, medium-sized dogs who are crate-trained and great with small and senior pups. For complete safety and comfort, any dog I sit stays right by my side and is never left alone with other pets. I focus on creating a secure, low-stress environment for every pet. When hosting in my home, guest dogs receive constant supervision, stay with me all day long, and have access to a safe, fully fenced yard for fresh air and gentle potty breaks. My own two dogs are friendly, well-mannered, and crate-trained, ensuring smooth boundaries and a calm atmosphere. Whether in my home or yours, I respect every dog’s individual pace, mobility needs, and daily routine, and I am happy to accommodate special care/needs for senior dogs and dogs of all ages.

“Jennifer was an amazing sitter! We are so glad we found her. She went above and beyond taking care of my two dogs. One of my dogs has some pretty severe health problems and has specific medical and feeding needs. Jennifer did an amazing job caring for her and making sure both of our dogs had all of the love and attention they need. We found our forever sitter for sure.”

About: I’ve been around animals since I was a kid! My family grew up with dogs, and once I was on my own I adopted a cat. Seeing pets while on walks makes my day. Im an extremely caring person that loves to go the extra mile for your fur babies! I’m currently unemployed to focus on my health, but am looking for something to bring meaning to my life. I have a few appointments every week, but plenty of free time to check on your pet! I always ensure that the pet’s environment is clean and there is plenty of food and water available. When with your pet I would give them as much attention as they’d like by playing or petting. I’d always make sure to lock up your home when leaving to make sure the fur babies are secure!

“Savanna is amazing! We have 4 animals and she met with us before our trip to give us peace of mind and she worked with us when our flights got changed and we needed to come back at a different time. All the while she sent pictures and updates of our animals. I highly recommend her!”
