Dog Walking in Cañon City

“Renata was a great communicator. Walked my two, high energy dogs for an hour and saved my wrenched knee. They crashed when they got home.”

About: I have been working with all different types of dogs my whole life. Ive owened Great Danes to Chihuahuas. Recently have been walking and sitting dogs for friends. Dogs have an energy that you don't get from working with any other animal or human. I have found working with dogs makes it more fun to "work". I currently am unable to own my own dog, but am very excited to be able to help other owners out. I also enjoy getting outside and being active. If your dog likes to jog, I don't have a problem doing so. Fetch or the dog parks are also fun alternatives, if I know owners are ok with it. I’m currently working overnight shift (9:45pm-6:15am)Sat-Wed, but have plenty of time during the day to take care of your pets needs. I currently don’t have any pets, so I’d love to be able to dote on yours while you’re away. I prefer to sit in the home of the animal that is needing the care, as I feel that makes for an easier transition for the pet.

“Benny is very new to our family! Elizabeth has been understanding and so sweet to Benny! She's very flexible and caring!”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats and other animals my entire life. I've worked at a few rescues and I feel like I can work with any pet. I have epilepsy and so I have had a very difficult time keeping any traditional job and so I have a lot of down time right now. I love animals. I remember when I was young, I wanted to be a zoo keeper and I spelled it "zoo kepper". Currently I have two dogs and one cat and they are my heart. My main concern in water. I want to make sure my dogs (or any dog) always has access to water. Everyone has specific ways of caring for their pets. Personally, I like to play with my dogs and make sure they are as happy as can be. My cat just wants love so we give her lots of love.

“Melissa was excellent! She was terrific with my dog; taking him on walks and playing with him. Kiko had a big smile on his face in every post-walk photo. We are so thankful Melissa was able to help us while we were on vacation. I will absolutely have her come back! A++”

About: I grew up on a ranch so plenty of experience with cats and dogs both indoor and outdoor. Young or old, small or large dogs; I can meet the needs of every animal! I am currently working part time so I have lots of time for walks and activities. I am very attentive, great at keeping scheduled feedings, and have a flexible schedule with plenty of free time to be present. I have plenty of time to be present with your fur baby. I enjoy going for walks and can easily keep track of a schedule.

“Rayelle was amazing! Great communication and so caring with our dog! Handled his energy perfectly and very patient with him!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and various other animals for 9 years now. We have 2 dogs of our own a GSP puppy and a creme Labrador. They are both friendly pups. I am currently working part time at AMR and am a stay at home mom full time due to my daughters care needs. We are home daily and would be around to play with your fur family and keep them company while you are gone! We allow dogs inside and on the furniture. We have a fenced in front yard that the dogs can go outside and potty and play in. They can go on walks as we live on a almost 3 acre farm.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very little with my first beagle Buddy! I often cat sit for family members as well! I would be glad to care for yours! I’m in college and work part time which leaves my schedule relatively flexible. I miss my pets so much I would love to spend time with yours! I am very comfortable around all pets and can care for yours as needed. My dog at home is very friendly. I can bring your dog to my apartment my roommates will love on them too!

About: My first job when I was a kid was to walk my neighbor's dogs. Since then, I've worked and volunteered with several different animal organizations, completed different training courses, handled dozens of different dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every animal is different, and I respect each and every one! As an artist, I find caring for pets the perfect balance to studio time—nothing inspires a break like a cold nose nudging your elbow or a purring cat settling onto your sketchbook. Pets are treated like family. I believe structure and exercise are important and look for a relaxed demeanor to know that the animals needs have been met.

About: What sets me apart is my background as a veterinary technician. I’m experienced in administering medications, recognizing early signs of illness or distress, and following detailed care routines. I stay calm in unexpected situations and prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll receive knowledgeable, compassionate care tailored to their needs. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible weekday schedule that allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as extended care when needed. My routine allows pets frequent check-ins, consistent feeding times, medication administration, and plenty of attention and supervision. I have multiple areas in my home where your pet can stay either with my pets or separately, depending on their comfort level. Pets are welcome inside, and if they prefer or require crate time, I’m happy to provide a crate as well. I prioritize a calm, safe, and flexible environment tailored to each pet’s needs.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and the level of care I put into every pet I watch. I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, and even horses for over 10 years, and I currently pet sit for four dogs regularly. I’m comfortable with puppies, including basic training and routines, as well as senior pets who may need extra patience, attention, or medication. I’m extremely responsible, dependable, and always on time. I truly love animals and take my role seriously—I want every pet to feel safe, happy, and fulfilled while their owners are away, not just cared for but genuinely comfortable and loved. Pet care fits really well into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to focus on the pets I’m caring for. I’m happy to do house sitting, extended stays, or regular drop-ins for potty breaks, feeding, walks, and lots of attention and love. I plan my schedule around the pets’ routines to make sure they get consistent care, and I take being reliable and on time very seriously. Making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for is always a priority for me. I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routines, whether that’s in my home or in a client’s home. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and attention. I always keep their space clean and safe, and I pay close attention to their behavior so I can notice if anything seems off. I’m comfortable giving extra care to puppies who need structure and training, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace or medication. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, happy, and as stress-free as possible while their owners are away.

About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life, and as a pet owner and a rover user myself, I take training, consistency, and happy puppies very seriously. Your best friend will be in great hands! I have a 8 month old who LOVES other dogs so if needed or wanted your doggo will have another friend :) *If participating in doggy day care due to me having my own dog, I will only accept dogs good with other dogs* Super flexible! I am very available until May 13th. I'm very active and love dogs so this is a perfect combo. I'm an early riser as well so no worries if your walk is early I follow instructions to the T. If I'm unsure about anything I'll shoot them a text or give them a call. I think it's important to keep consistency.

About: I have had dogs and cats, newborn to senior since I was grade school age. Never had a house without animals. They are a joy to be around. Would love to help care for your members of your family I am retired, and have two amazing cats. I am available to care for your pets when needed. Always have time for the love of animals.

About: I've trained my own cat to do many useful behaviors to make her life easier. I volunteer at the humane society. I've previously trained other peoples dogs as well as my own.

About: I have worked with pets for all of my adult life. I began working at an animal shelter in Kentucky and volunteering with several rescues at age 19. I have sense transitioned into a career in veterinary medicine. I have some training experience from previous jobs and have experience with many different breeds. I’m experienced with senior pet care as well as administering medication! I have recently found out I am pregnant so I am now home daily for pet care. Can provide frequent potty breaks for puppies or older pets. I also have a young dog of my own for playing. We have a small fenced yard, for larger or more high energy pets we do leash walk if okay with owner. I have lick mats and puzzle feeders for more high energy pets that I do not mind providing.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I grew up on a family farm in the Midwest, we raised multiple breeds and 4H projects included dog training. I helped establish two dog training programs in two prisons in the Midwest. I served for a few years on the board of a nonprofit no kill shelter in the Midwest. I have two American Shelter Dogs that are well socialized and love going out on the trails. Both behaved well enough I am 100% comfortable off leash as long as trail rules allow. My boys are just part of life in the country. We live on 40 acres. I have 1.5 miles of walking trails. We go on regular walks at home for the week we don’t make it to the trails. I am self employed and try to maintain an available schedule. My home offers an open floor plan and the outdoors offers 40 acres with 1.5 miles of maintained walking trails. Outside time with your pup will be on leash until I am comfortable with our bond. Visits at your home will be an opportunity for play time in their own environment based on their likes and needs.
