Dog Walking in Cañon City

“Katie is a very good pet owner and pet sitter. She will stop whatever she is doing to focus on whatever needs to be done with the dog/cat. Very responsible!”

“Chyna is so wonderful! She's so good with the dogs and is a great communicator! I could rely on her 100% and the dogs adored her! You can't go wrong. I highly recommend Chyna!”

“James saved the day by helping us out with dog walks not only on the weekend but also during the work week. He was kind enough to take in to consideration the heat and communicate the adjustments accordingly. Thanks so much for all of your help!!”

“Jason is very communicative and sent multiple photos and updates as each visit progressed. Jason was very punctual and pleasant to work with each visit. I highly recommend him!!”

About: I have been around animals my entire life! I took an interest in animal care when our family dog was a senior, and was diagnosed with kidney failure. A little while after she was diagnosed, we got a puppy. She was supposed to be another family dog, she just liked me better. Taking care of a puppy and a senior dog was tough at times, but there was never a dull moment! A while after our senior dog passed away my puppy was diagnosed with a thyroid issue. So giving medication to your pups is not an issue! Feeling accomplished, knowing your dogs are very happy and healthy. With you putting the time and energy into helping them grow. Loving pets every single day is just good for the soul. My pets are very routine-oriented, and due to this I will learn about your pups schedule and the little quirks and stick to them! With lots of love and attention.

“Andrew is a kind, caring person and good with animals. Andrew has grown up with and been responsible for dogs and cats his entire life. Andrew is the type of person that animals naturally feel at ease with and want to be around.”

“Lauren H. has done dog sitting for many years she has cared for dogs, cats, chickens, goats and many other animals. She has recently moved and would like to now share her services with others. She is loving, feeds dogs and cats by hand if necessary. I totally recommend her for anyone’s animals, you will not be disappointed.”

“Our dogs, Hank and Sam love Rachel, and so do we! Rachel has cared for our goldendoodles in her home and taken them on walks as well. She has years of experience caring for dogs and is someone we rely on to not only keep Hank and Sam safe, but to enjoy spending time with them as well! She is always our first call when we are in need of someone to help out with our two doods. ❤️ 🐾”

“Amanda! Reliable...Friendly...TRUSTWORTHY! My pets LOVE her and that is #1 for me! Her mutual respect and a gentle and caring demeanor when they interact is a huge plus! She truely does love and full cares for ALL!”

About: Born to love and nurture animals and children. I’m an empty nester so this is a natural extension of who I am. Retired teacher of the little ones. Dogs and cats are my new babies. Stay at home gal. Empty nester. Little home on 20 acres. With a fenced in section. Retired from teaching. Now a writer. Every day with a new furry friend is a gift. Caring for your precious family is a privilege that I take seriously. Trust in the one who cares for your baby is priceless. Without it, worry and anxiety set in. I hope to set your mind at ease.

About: My name is Megan, and I’m from Colorado Springs. I love caring for dogs and cats and making sure they get the love and attention they need! I have taken care of a lot of dogs and cats varying in sizes since I was about 15 years old. I love getting outside, and have very flexible hours. I am available for walking, feeding, dog and cat sitting, as well as any other needs you may have! I have a dog and cat of my own at my house, and am looking to get some additional income, as well as have some fun with the pets I would be watching! Looking forward to meeting some awesome pets! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I'm currently working part-time but am very flexible with my availability, and am able to be home most of the time and frequently let out and feed any pet depending on their feeding times. I do bartend on the weekend so the only time they would be alone for a long period would be Saturday evenings, I work from 6-2:30am. I will take all precautions to keep your pet safe, I do not have a fenced in yard but would have them on a leash when outside or take them to the nearby dog park to run around and have some fun. We have a very safe environment and never have food or anything a dog may possibly get into and harm itself.

About: I have been taking care of a variety of pets my entire life I have cared for exotic, horses, bunnies and your everyday animal’s!! I have also worked in a small zoo taking care of birds of prey. I was going to school to be a vet tech my switch to nursing instead and will later return to the animal field I currently am only doing pet sitting and going to school but only go to school two times a week so I’m fairly flexible when caring for your pups I care for your pets as if they were my own. I don’t do this for the money I do it because it is something I’m passionate about.

“Dani is amazing with all animals, including humans. I have worked with her as a volunteer in the animal field and use her as my personal sitter for my dogs and tortoise when my husband and I leave town. Her care and concern for your animals and home is far above standard and I am certain there is no one more capable, loving or trustworthy.”

“Brooke was right on time and I could see she likes what she does. My dogs had a nice walk on a day that I was feeling under the weather and had decided to give Rover a try. She even put up with my Swaggz rolling around under some trees being a big goofy butt.”

“I'm sure that I'm biased, as Sadie is my daughter, but I think she is an acceptional care giver for pets. We have always had cats and dogs( mostly dogs) and she has always had an uncanny ability to create a bond with them in no time. Sadie also worked at the Humane Society in Canon City and volunteered at a cat rescue in Colorado Springs.Give her a chance! You'll love her and more importantly, your pets will love her!”

“Mark is a great guy! He comes from the farm country of Iowa and has an intuitive sense of animals. He has taken my dog out for walks on multiple occasions and I trust him completely.”

“Nicole has been my go to sitter for about 6 months now, and takes amazing care of my dog while Im out of town! He gets plenty of playtime, walks, and attention, and I can rest easy knowing she knows what to do in case of an emergency. She always prioritizes making Zeus comfortable and happy when I'm gone.”

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've owned many pets over my lifetime and have a fur baby of my own right now. I would be absolutely thrilled to be able to walk, take care of, and play with your pets! I am eager to go for long walks and play in the park or just hang out in the backyard. And most of all, I'll make sure your pets are safe with me (as that is the most important thing to any pet owner). I assure you that you can trust me in your home. If need be, I can provide references from past clients as I understand that allowing someone into your home can be a stressful task. Otherwise, I am happy to answer any further questions you might have of me. I'm currently a recent graduate looking to earn money while I wait for my job to start. My schedule is flexible, so I have much of the day to dedicate to taking care of pets. I can even do overnight stays or some weekend stays. For in-home care, I come prepared with treats and a poop-scooper for cleaning up little gifts. For trips to the park, my car has a doggy seatbelt that I can attach to their harness to prevent them from going anywhere in case of an accident. I also will come with a portable water bowl to ensure your pup stays hydrated.

About: Taking care of animals is and has been my daily life ever since I can remember. With my current two dogs, they’re both old men that need lots of personal care that I take upon myself to manage. I also have 3 elderly lady cats with one being 20 years old! The youngest is my most precious friend, Finn, who I raised from 6 weeks old found on the streets and is the one in my profile picture. I’ve also have volunteered for animal rescues in transporting animals and even helped local wildlife that’s gotten caught up in human affairs. Beyond personal experience, I am attending college with my major being animal health and behavior at Unity Environmental University. My college is online so it makes my schedule more flexible to help work with you on your fuzzy critter’s needs! Every morning I tend to the dogs by feeding them and letting them out into the back yard to do their business. One of my dogs is currently on a medication so I also give him that after he eats. We have an enclosed patio that I’ll put my cats out on so they can also get some sun and fresh air. Throughout the day I’ll keep an eye on the water dish due to it always being near empty with thirsty animals about. In the evening comes me feeding the dogs once more. For our most elderly lady cat, we give her a bit of soft food with her normal hard and this requires wrangling the other 3 into a different area because they’re more than willing to push her out of the way. Taking care of cat litter is par the course and we have multiple in the house for all our cats. Most important is to give lots of love and attention to all my pets. The youngest cat needs lots of attention due to him having a lot of energy for playing. All our pups and kitties have lots of toys and other enrichment toys. Greenies are a staple to help dental hygiene. I have a binder full of vet records to keep up on everyone’s vaccines. If a pet needs medication, I give that to them in the best way I can. This includes cats. Dog beds and areas the cats feel safe are important too. Aggression from either dog is not tolerated and there’s been a few times where things have gotten testy and I’ve wrestled dogs out of a fight regardless of my own wellbeing. All the stinky parts of pets I deal with on the regular so that’s no issue either. Sometimes even animals missing their owners may have accidents that is out of character for them. That’s okay. Things happen.
