Dog Walking Colorado University

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and for the past two years I’ve lived on a farm where I have gained experience caring for many different types of animals. We also double as a kitten rescue, taking in lost and abandoned kittens from newborns through teenagers. We bottle-feed, raise, and care for them until they are healthy, grown, and ready to be adopted into loving homes. I am extremely passionate about healthy and safe animal care and ensure that in my work. I am a college student and recently moved away from home and my farm, and the first priority on my list was getting back into work with animals. Being at CU I am occupied in the mornings and late afternoon. Anywhere between 11am-1pm I am free in between classes, and anytime after 4/5pm at night. I care for pets with patience, attention, and lots of love while making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their environment. Having cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, and a variety of farm animals, I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, cleaning up after pets, giving them exercise and playtime, and keeping a close eye on their behavior and well-being. Through helping my mom run our farm and caring for rescued kittens, including newborns, I’ve also learned how important it is to be gentle, responsible, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs.

“Moose loved his long walk and I’m impressed by how much ground you two covered. I gotta step up my game. I’m super grateful that Nora was available to take him out mid day.”

“Talia was fantastic! Super communicative, responsive, reliable, and kind. My dogs loved her and I trusted that they were in good hands. I would definitely book again.”

“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 animals since I was in highschool, starting with my parents' dogs when they were on a trip, as well as family friends' pets in the neighborhood. I think the compassion that I bring to the job is what sets me apart from other sitters. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I dedicate every ounce of love and effort to any task I am assigned to. I have also been exposed to cats and dogs of all ages. I am flexible when it comes to scheduling and will specialize care if any adjustments are needed. I am a full-time student at CU Boulder, but my day-to-day schedule has gaps, allowing for me to take care of your pet. I have availability in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Weekends have a ton of room for flexibility. I am more than happy to discuss scheduling to best fit the needs of your pet! I am flexible as to how I can provide care. I am completely understanding of how crucial routines are for some pets, as well as individualized needs, so I will always respect any instructions provided. I am incredibly patient and flexible!! My apartment complex does not allow pets, but I am more than happy provide care in your home.

“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 had pets since I was a little kid and I love being around animals. I got my dog 7 years ago and have loved raising her! I’m currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule.

About: Hi, I’m Payson! I’m a compassionate and dependable animal lover with 5 years experience caring for pets. I have an excitable and loving 3 year old springer spaniel at home with my parents and grew up with pets in the home. I (very sadly) don’t have any pets in my apartment here in Philly, so I am eager to spend time with all animals and love on them. I will ensure your pet feels safe and happy. I’m naturally organized and reliable, and I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you always know how your beloved pet is doing while you’re away. We will go for long walks/ have lots of snuggles. I’m excited to meet you and see if I’m a good fit for your needs! I have always provided pet care to families wherever I have lived and am looking to do the same here in Philly. I moved here a few weeks back and am eager to meet all the lovely animals in the area. Unfortunately I cannot have pets in my apartment— so I’d prefer to come to your place for overnight stays. I am happy to care for plants and any other household needs while I am in your home.

“Great Person, patient & kind dog walker, always responsible and on time. Kim helped me out nearly every day for two weeks while I recovered from surgery. She's easy to communicate with and a pleasure to greet at the door each day. Would definitely hire her again.”

About: Hi, I'm Andi! I’ve been a dog person for as long as I can remember, and for 13 years I had my own dog by my side. I raised him on my own through all kinds of homes and lifestyle changes, from apartments to houses, with big yards and with no yard at all so I know that every dog (and owner!) has their own routine, personality, and needs. Over the years, I’ve also regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs, both in their homes and in mine. I genuinely love having a dog around the house, and enjoy the company, the personality, the walks, and even the little quirks that make them who they are. After losing my own dog, I’m not quite ready to make the commitment to bringing another dog into my life permanently. But I’ve realized I’d love to fill that space by welcoming other people’s dogs into my home and giving them the same kind of care and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they’re with me. I’m happy to follow your usual routines, whether that means lots of walks and playtime, a cozy spot on the couch, medication or special instructions, or simply plenty of companionship. I know leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, so I want you to feel confident that they’re in good hands and that they’ll get plenty of love while you’re away! work from home four days a week, so I’m home with plenty of flexibility throughout the day. On the days I go into the office, I’m typically gone for about four hours or less, so I’m home more often than not. I’m an early riser and am very used to starting the day with a dog’s morning walk. I also have easy access to grass for quick potty breaks throughout the day, in addition to regular walks and playtime. Even on weekends, when I might go for a run, hike, or bike ride, I’m generally home for most of the day working on projects or relaxing. Overall, my schedule gives me plenty of time and flexibility to give dogs attention, exercise, companionship, and plenty of opportunities to get outside. I take pet safety and comfort seriously and want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, energy level, and any special instructions from their owner. My home is clean, comfortable, and dog-friendly, with easy access to grass for potty breaks and plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, and companionship. I’m home most of the time, so dogs aren’t typically left alone for long stretches. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your dog is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have had both dogs and cats growing up. I love animals, am responsible, and understand the importance of getting your pets the care they need. I have done pet/animal care for my family as well as friends and neighbors. I am currently a full time engineering student at CU Boulder, but have my weekday afternoons free as well as flexible time on the weekends. I am looking to make pet sitting a priority and build long term relationships with pet care seeking families. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every pet like they're my own by providing a calm, clean, and secure environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I always follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special needs or routines. I keep pets supervised, use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, and make sure they always have fresh water and a safe space to relax. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

I’m available Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends, making it easy for me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and other pet care needs. I’m organized and dependable, and I make sure pet care fits smoothly into my weekly routine while still giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment.

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I've spent over a decade caring for pets and volunteering at animal shelters, and I love getting to know each animal's unique personality and figuring out what makes them feel comfortable and happy. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, and more, including senior pets and pets with medical or behavioral needs. At the shelter, I've taught classes on handling small animals, trained new volunteers, and worked as a camp counselor teaching kids how to safely interact with animals. I've also received extensive training in animal body language, behavior, and safe handling. I grew up with dogs and a rabbit and now have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets while you're away. My apartment won't let me have any more pets, so I'd love the chance to give yours some extra love and attention! Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I'm a graduate student, so my schedule looks different each day, but is more flexible than the typical 9-to-5! I build pet care into my weekly routine and have availability throughout the day. I'm happy to work with you to find times that fit your schedule and your pet's needs! Whether you need drop-in visits or overnight petsitting, I'm happy to provide the type of care that works best for your pet. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, respect your home, and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I prioritize safety, communication, and getting to know each pet’s individual needs.

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!

“Mandy is awesome with our dog Saffron, would definitely recommend! She’s always very flexible to changes in our schedule and communicates really well.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, primarily caring for cats and dogs. My experience includes dog walking, feeding, playtime, administering basic routines, and cleaning litter boxes. I’ve especially worked with older cats and dogs, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care they often need. I also have two cats of my own back home, giving me firsthand experience in daily responsibilities and expectations of being a pet owner. Because of this, I’m very mindful about my care towards your pet! I’m currently a second-year, first-generation student at CU Boulder, balancing school and a Work-Study position. I’m generally available Thursday through Monday after 1 PM and can be flexible with advance notice. When I house sit I treat every home with respect, focusing on your pet while you’re away. I understand leaving your home and furry friend to a stranger can be worrisome so I do my best to comfort your pet and keep your space the way you like it.

“Fantastic with our boy Rex and very communicative :) We really appreciate Aislinn!”
