“Very tolerant of my anxious girl!”

“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!!”

About: I’ve taken care of my neighborhoods dogs for years and love all kinds! I’ve babysat both in my own home or the owner’s. Due to an open summer I can fit my schedule around yours. I’m currently working part time in the restaurant industry on night shifts so walking and enjoying nature is always part of my morning routine. I enjoy time with all sizes of animals As I am working in your home, I can cater to your dog’s normal routine. I’m happy to play for hours or work on training your young puppy!

“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!”

“Sam is the best!! I have a timid dog who is wary of strangers, and he really put in the work to gain her trust. I feel 100% comfortable knowing that she’s in good hands on their walks, and she even pulls to go see him when we run into each other in public :)”

“Mason was on time and great with Zak. He seemed very comfortable and adaptable with everything. He was charming and a good ambassador for Boulder. If we lived there we'd use him again without question.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have helped care for them from when they were puppies through adulthood. Over the years, I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding, playtime, training reinforcement, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. I’ve also helped care for dogs belonging to family members, which has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Growing up with dogs has taught me how important patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality is when caring for them. I’m currently a graduate student doing research, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate walks throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so fitting dog walks into my daily routine comes naturally. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, regular exercise, or some extra attention during the day, I’ll work to provide reliable and consistent care. When caring for pets, my priority is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand every dog has different personalities, energy levels, and routines, so I try to adapt to what works best for them. Whether in your home or out on walks, I focus on keeping pets safe, giving them plenty of attention, and following any instructions or routines you provide to ensure consistency and trust.

“Hana too great care of my Cassie. She was very timely and took photos showing me all the exercise my dog got daily. It gave me peace of mind on my vacation. Thank you Hana.”

About: **Note on availability: I’m moving to Boulder, CO on June 29th, so unfortunately I won’t be available for pet sitting in Baltimore after that!** I’m a (near-)lifelong pet owner and (actually) lifelong pet lover. I grew up with an adorable calico cat that my family got when I was 2 and an energetic Stabyhoun dog we got when I was 11, so I can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have an animal or two to care for. That calico cat, Micio, was my best friend until she died at age 17, during my senior year of high school. She experienced some significant health issues in her final years, which gave me lots of experience and a real passion for caring for senior pets and pets with health issues. I also help my mom care for my childhood dog, the Stabyhoun, whenever I visit the two of them—he is now 15 and has a few health issues of his own, but he still acts like a puppy, and I love figuring out how to make him as comfortable and happy as possible as his needs change! Sadly, the building I live in right now doesn’t allow pets, so I get my fix looking after my friends’ pets. This is what I’ve been doing since starting college in 2018. Between cat sibling rivalries, kittens so small they needed monitoring and heating pads 24/7, a dog with a fear of trash cans and rain, a puppy with a peeing problem, and two dogs competing to be the most polite to each other (I had to feed them in different rooms so they wouldn’t wait forever for each other to eat), I’ve cared for plenty of pets on every side of the personality spectrum, from the shyest of the shy to the most outgoing. I see it as a true privilege to get to know so many animals’ personalities and quirks, and I treasure the time that I spend with them. I am careful, thorough, sensitive, and a good listener. This helps me learn from you about how to give your pet the best care possible, and it also helps me be alert to anything your pet is trying to tell me while I’m with them! Hopefully I’ll live somewhere someday where I can have pets of my own and even offer boarding or doggy day care at my place, but for now, I’m just happy to help in any small way I can. I look forward to getting to know you and your pet; to learning what makes them feel safe, happy, and content; and to hopefully making a new friend. I’m a part-time music teacher, so my schedule can be quite flexible when planned ahead of time. Currently, I’m available M/W/Th before 3pm and after 5pm, Tuesdays before 3pm and after 9pm, and Fri-Sun all day. Depending on the week, I might have a concert to play or a lesson to teach here or there outside of those hours; let me know what time window you’re interested in and I can give you my full schedule in detail! I try my best to make the care I provide is customized to any pet’s needs. Since I’m a musician, my only limit is that if I’m spending a whole day or days with a pet who needs a lot of people time, I need to be able to practice my violin. I have a practice mute which can make the sound very soft, but still, I understand that this isn’t every person’s (or animal’s) cup of tea! Outside of that limitation, I am available to take your pet on walks, play with them (in or outside of your house), pamper them, feed them, give them medications, intervene in sibling squabbles as needed, do training exercises with them, brush their teeth—if your pet needs it, and you’re willing to teach me any special instructions or methods you have, I can do it!

“Christa is great !!! She gives great feedback does long walks and Whiskey loves her 😊 Highly recommend Christa !!!”

“Shelby was great with our dogs. She was punctual and communicated well. We would happily have her watch our pets again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes growing up and have always been the biggest dog lover! I have experience with raising puppies, caring for senior dogs, and working with dogs with different personalities! I would love nothing more than to bring some joy and adventure to your pups! As a fellow dog owner, I know that dogs are not only pets, but family. I have experience walking big, strong dogs, so I’ll be able to hold and manage keeping your dog on route and out of trouble. I also have plenty experience taking care of dogs when owners have been away. I make sure they get fed on time, are let out to use the bathroom, get plenty of cuddles and pets, and play any games they want to! If your dog needs a bath, I also have taken multiple dogs for a self wash and have dealed with the worst of the worst. I’m currently on the job hunt, so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pups! Really any day or time should work for me! I want to be sure that your dog is as comfortable as possible in their own home, because consistency helps them feel safe when their owners are away. I’ll follow your feeding schedule, walk times, and any other specific instructions you leave me. I’ll be sure to make sure all doors and gates are always properly closed and help keep the home tidy and secure!

About: I love dogs (and cats!) of all personalities and especially love being active with them, such as going on hikes or jogs, playing fetch, or simply hanging out at the park. I love getting to know each animal's unique personality and learning what makes them them! I am available outside of the following hours: 2-4:30pm Monday-Friday, 5:30-7pm Mondays and Thursdays, and 4-6pm on Wednesdays. Other than these times, I am free to be booked! I have a large, fenced in yard with no other pets, which is great if your pet has trouble around other animals. I also live very close to North Boulder park! And when I am caring for your animal at your home, I am mindful of private spaces and boundaries, and I always make sure to entirely clean up after myself.

About: I have been the go to pet sitter for my neighbors and friends ever since I was a little kid. I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits and other small animals. I have experience providing medical assistance for pets such as giving insulin shots to cats. I currently am a student at CU Boulder but am home in Centennial/Aurora on breaks and some weekends! When I am home from school, I will be available during the day to take care of your pets! I greatly care for each pet that I take care of. I will make sure your pet is doing well and is happy! I will send you as many updates and pictures of your pet as you like. It is important to me to make sure every pet owner knows that there pet is being well taken care of.

“Emily was amazing with Moose. She took him out for several walks as he was recovering from surgery and made sure that he had the right balance of being able to get some activity without overdoing it. She also made sure he had his “lunch”, a pill in a pill pocket, and water & got the cone back on him once he came back. It was such a relief to know that he was taken care of while I was at work.”

About: I’ve been in love with dogs since I can remember, and my favorite type of work/volunteering has always involved them. When I was 15 I started dog sitting for my family friend, I watched and walked little Johnny twice a week for almost 2 years while his mom was out doing errands. After that, I started volunteering at the LoveJoy Foundation, an animal rescue in California. I walked dogs, cleaned crates, and even helped with vaccinations once a week at adoption events! My time at LoveJoy was one of the most rewarding experiences ever, and it taught me how to work with different types of dogs and different behaviors, including neurodivergent and disabled pups. I have a family dog of my own, sweet Montana, who will always be my best friend no matter how far apart we are. Montana is a bit older now, so we mostly enjoy hanging out on the couch together, but in his prior years I loved taking him on hikes, to the dog beach, and really anywhere that I went. I also have a crested gecko named Axel! I’m currently a junior at CU Boulder, so I do have school during the week but only for about 2-3 hours each day, most of the time I’m home to care for a pup! I absolutely love being outside here in Boulder, it’s too beautiful not to be, so walks and adventures are plentiful! I have a large house for your pup to roam around, but if it’s preferred that he stays in a crate during the day I can accommodate that too! My yard isn’t fenced, but we would have a lot of outside time at the park and on walks exploring all corners of Boulder. I do have experience dog sitting in client’s homes, I know that some dogs are probably more comfortable staying in their own home!

“Tina was prompt and communicated prior for meet and greet as well as showing up for Callie and keeping me informed as to how the walks went. I consider Tina to be very reliable and will entrust in her again to walk/sit Callie in the future.”

About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, and I truly love what I do. I’ve worked with all kinds of pets, from furry companions like dogs and cats to reptiles and other unique animals, so I’m comfortable adapting to different needs and personalities. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just keeping them company, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and quick to learn each pet’s routine. You can count on me to be reliable, respectful of your home, and focused on making the experience smooth and stress-free for both you and your pet I’m a full-time student at CU Boulder with a flexible schedule. I typically have availability in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings around my classes. I do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine, and I’m often available on weekends as well. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to follow all care instructions closely and make sure your pet feels secure and well cared for. I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away

About: I am active, outdoorsy, and I will make your dog the center of my universe for as long as you need. I was raised around dogs, cats, and many random smaller pets, so I can handle just about anything. I frequently go on hikes and trail runs, and love to bring dogs with me. I’m currently unemployed and taking a break from classes, so I have near infinite free time this summer and can be there for your pet whenever you need. I live in a 4 bedroom apartment, but I live alone now so there is quite a lot of room. Given my overwhelming amount of free time I will treat your pet with the constant attention they crave.
