“Emma was WONDERFUL! We booked her last minute and she totally alleviated all our stress. We went away for the weekend and she gave us our man Gus long and good walks and gave some love to our cats, even going as far to search for one that was hiding. 10/10, we will be booking her in the future!”

“She has been an amazing walker for my pup! She has worked on training exercises while walking with her and spoiling her with treats. My dog is obsessed with her and looks forward to seeing her every time. Thank you for taking such good care of her!!”

“I’d never used the app before but loved how easy it was for Sam to keep me updated both times he visited to walk our dog. Our dog is an old boy and can be a little defensive at times, and pretty slow-moving, but Sam was super patient with him. Sam walked him for a full 30 minutes and from what I can tell, he just let our dog take it slow, sniffing (and peeing on) all the things along the way, which is his absolute favorite thing to do. I’d recommend Sam for sure, and will ask him back if we ever need help with our pets again!”

“Linnea was great with our pup Pali! Super communicative, on time, and dedicated - she walked Pali in the rain, snow, and heat (all in a standard Boulder spring week). I’ll definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner and lifelong dog lover since age nine, when my family adopted our first dog, Riddick the labradoodle. I have a very caring and responsible personality and a true love for dogs, which shows in the way I consistently prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. Since then, I’ve continued to spend daily time caring for dogs, including my family’s current dog, Ripley. I also have hands-on experience dog sitting and walking my aunt’s two large dogs, which has given me confidence working with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care and enjoyable walks for your dog!

My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to accommodate your dog's routine and individual needs throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities on every walk. I am highly attentive to each dog's unique personality, needs, and comfort level, and I always follow the owner's instructions closely. Dogs are kept on leash at all times, and I stick to safe, familiar streets and trails to ensure a secure walking experience. I also carefully respect any boundaries regarding interactions with other dogs or people, as well as preferred walk lengths and routines. In addition, I have experience working with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who are still learning leash manners to senior dogs who may require a slower pace and extra care due to mobility limitations.
About: I pet-sit frequently for family and neighbors and it brings be joy that they entrust me with there pets. I grew up with two large dogs, a family cat, and eventually a cat to care for on my own. I learned to care for elderly dogs when mine grew old as well as knowing the discipline of a cat for myself. I am a college student. Over the summer I have a morning class from 9-10am Monday through Friday, but besides that my days are open. I hace a fenced in back yard from my previous dogs as well as a friendly neighbor dog who likes to run alongside the fence (on the other side) when there is a dog in our yard. I live in a one story home which gave easier access to elderly pets.

About: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals—growing up with five amazing dogs, two cats, and recently pet-sitting my brother’s cat and her litter of five kittens when I visit family. I’ve learned how to raise, train, and care for animals deeply and intentionally. When we had chickens, I remember training my dog to gently herd them back into the coop while my cat stood watch like a little guardian. I also recall how our dogs and cats would sense when one of my family members—whether my siblings, mom, dad, or grandma—was feeling down and would go over to comfort them. That’s when I realized how smart and intuitive animals can be when we trust and guide them. Over the years, I’ve gained experience dog-sitting for my mom’s friends, caring for my roommates’ cats, and providing care for a friend’s service dog. I’m comfortable with animals of all temperaments and needs, and I always approach each one as a unique soul with their own personality and rhythms. I also know how to bathe both dogs and cats with care and patience (yes, even the cats!). Whether it’s trail walks or quiet time at home, I’m here to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and totally at ease. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give your pet the time and attention they deserve—whether that’s outdoor adventures or simply being a calming presence. I work from home, so my schedule is incredibly flexible and I’m available throughout the week to care for your pets. I can stay at your home overnight, providing consistent care for both cats and dogs. Whether you’re going on a short vacation or need someone for a long-term stay, from weeks to months, I can be there to make sure your pets get the attention and love they deserve. I’m available for stays of any length and can provide both regular visits or extended care as needed. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be a big decision, and I’m committed to building trust by providing the best care possible. I’ll ensure your pets are always supervised, whether on hikes, at the dog park, or just enjoying time at home. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have regarding your pet’s routine or care needs. Whether it’s making sure they get to their preferred groomer, giving elderly dogs extra attention with special instructions, or managing specific dietary or medication needs—I’m here to make sure they are well taken care of. I’m also committed to keeping their space clean and comfortable, with daily cleanup and a tidy environment, so they feel right at home. You can trust me to treat your pets with love, patience, and respect while ensuring they stay safe, happy, and relaxed in a familiar routine.

Isabella has been an amazing, consistent, and reliable walker for my dog Stevie. She always responds in a timely manner, has taken last minute requests for walks, and always attaches cute photos of Stevie on their walks. :) I trust her and Stevie brings her a toy out of excitement to see her each time she comes! Couldn’t recommend her more highly.
