“Lacey leaves the most thorough and best reviews of her daily walks with Joshua. It’s nice knowing he’s being taken care of during the day while I’m at work.”

“Avery saved us when we had a last-minute cancellation and was able to take our dog Finley out for a walk and play in the creek while we hiked RMNP. Finley said he had a great time and gave the walk two paws up!”


“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: For the more excited puppies, I have the energy to keep up and make sure they finish the day tired and happy. While I am a dog enthusiast, I won't bribe your dog (too much) with treats and can always give a firm and gentle no. Pet care would act as my part-time job so my schedule is flexible for your needs. While I am available most afternoons-evenings, I would prefer Mondays through Fridays to be between 9-5 with more flexibility on the weekends. In my client's home, I will take careful notes on their pet's food, where they are allowed to roam, and their personality in case they are wary of strangers. I will provide consistent communication on the pet's well-being and the day's activities. I will ask and provide emergency contact information and always treat my client's pets with the gentleness and love that they deserve.

About: I have grown up with dogs since I was five years old and have been dog-sitting for friends, neighbors, and family for over 13 years. I love spending time with animals, big and small, and have years of experience giving senior dogs extra care and attention. Whether it's daily walks, medication, or just extra belly rubs, I treat every pet with love and care! I'm a graduate student with a flexible schedule. Currently, I'm teaching summer classes remotely, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I do drop-in visits and walks during the morning, afternoon, and early evening. My priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. With me, pets can always enjoy a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of playtime, time outside, cuddles, and a consistent routine to keep them happy and engaged. My overall goal is to consistently provide pets with the love, structure, and attention they need to thrive.

About: I love being able to take care of dogs like they are my own - I always grew up with dogs as big as a 100-pound flat coated retriever and my little terrier-dachshund mix back home in Santa Cruz. I also have assisted professional dog walkers in San Francisco. I love running, hiking, and walking throughout Boulder but also love a calm day with my book on the couch. Growing up with dogs allows me to take care of my dog like it is my own - with the most care, love, and respect possible. I am attentive and will do everything I to make sure you know your dog is having the best time. I’ve attached some photos of dogs who are near and dear to me :) I work part time as a landscaper and canvasser for the environment when I’m not pet sitting. These are short shifts throughout the week so I have a lot of flexibility in terms of scheduling. Essentially, I am ready to accommodate any kind of dog! I live in roomy 2 bed apartment with someone who also loves dogs. We have lots of room and thankfully, hard wood floors (easy cleanup!) Outside the apartment, there are lots of grass areas for dogs. Depending on your dogs needs, we will likely take lots of bathroom breaks, go for walks, and play inside (maybe catch a nap too) in case it’s too hot. There is always a full water bowl and I am always paying attention for queues for going to the bathroom, etc. In terms of boarding, it’s completely up to your dog! So the couch, bed, floor, crate are all up for grabs so that they feel at home.

“Alyson is incredible! I loved that she did a meet and greet before the first walk. She asked great questions and learned about our two girls. We felt very comfortable knowing she would be checking in on them while we are out for the day. Would highly recommend!”


“Tess has been so amazing with my boy! She followed all the instructions for his medical needs and is so prompt with communication! My foster pup has loved her from day 1 and I plan to use her services for any future foster animals I get.”



About: I’ve had pets since I was in second grade and have had three dogs; two goldendoodle s and one french brittany. I also have experience with farm animals :) . I am very patient when it comes to pets and don’t mind an energetic puppy or a sweet old dog. Not only have I spent a lot of time taking care of my own dogs, I have also spent time pet sitting my friends dogs. I care deeply about the dogs I take care of and enjoy spending time with them! I am currently not working so I have a very open availability. In the fall I will be taking classes at CU but will still be available for sitting, walks, or occasional drop-ins. I unfortunately live in an apartment that doesn’t allow pets so I won’t be able to take care of dogs at my own place. But I would love to do either drop ins or overnight stays elsewhere! I can guarantee I will leave your place spotless and neat!

About: I’ve been a foster for Mile High Lab Rescue for 5 years now. I think fostering has further ignited my love of dogs! I have a lot of experience watching and walking a variety of different dogs. I would be so happy to give your pup a visit! I am a student at CU, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to visit and play with your pups! I am a perfectionist and love instruction. You can feel confident in the safety or your dog and your property. I will navigate spending time with your dog in whatever way you are comfortable!

About: I'm a 20 year old college student currently studying at CU Boulder! I previously spent my summers working at a pet daycare and boarding facility. I now spend my summers in Boulder due to school, but would love to keep caring for pets! I've cared for both dogs and cats of all ages including seniors and puppies. At my family home in Georgia, I also get to spend my summers with my two family dogs, Mila and Bella, who are both Cane Corsos! My family has also had a Boxer and a Chihuahua so I'm familiar and comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am a student at the University of Colorado Boulder however I am only taking one summer class daily from 9-12 AM. I am typically an early riser which is great to help accomodate to pets who have early morning potty walks or meals. My time spent on campus is very little so I have lots of free time and flexibility to tend to pets individual needs! I have a fenced backyard within the house that I live at which is small, so it could be good for a quick potty run. However I live within a 10 minute walk of multiple large parks with lots of grass and they are easily accessible from my home which is great for potty walks or just long regular walks. I don't live with any roommates currently so it is just me around your pet! Intermittently my roommate will come stop by though, but she is also a certified Rover sitter so she is perfectly comfortable around any pets. I'm also a firm believer that sheets and blankets can always be washed so I encourage pets to make themselves feel at home.

“Taylor helped me out with a last minute booking. It was so easy to communicate with her. She is so friendly and kind! Thanks for taking such great care of Scout”


“Aubrey has been so great walking my 3yr old German Shepherd Lab mix every single day! His leash walking has improved since she started walking him, too so she’s doing a great job. Aubrey really goes above and beyond with her notes and is good about reaching out with any questions about my preferences.”


“I interviewed several potential walkers before finding Matthew. I don’t trust anyone. And I almost trusted Matthew😊 He did a great job. He speaks dog.”


About: I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was a pre-teen, including overnight care. I grew up with dogs along my side, but I also have plenty of experience with cats, rodents, and chickens! I’ve cared for many animals with anxiety and understand some pets may take significant time to bond with. I am a CU Boulder student with availability on weekend and weekday mornings, afternoons, evenings, and holidays since I am not enrolled in summer courses. Your pet(s) will be my top priority. I provide reliable care to make sure your pet(s) is happy, healthy, and comfortable in their regular environment while you’re away or busy. This also means taking care of your home during overnight stays and keeping you regularly updated.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I am very used to running and playing with them outside, and then taking them in for a bath when they get dirty. I have experience taking care of puppies and senior dogs. I really enjoy walking and spending time outside with dogs but I’ll happily comfort a lap dog as well. I’m currently waiting for a job to start a couple weeks from now so my schedule is very open and flexible. I am open for house sitting on weekends and I can do drop ins and walks almost any day of the week. I am happy to take a pet on a walk or play with them inside the house or in a yard. I will always clean up after play and after feeding and watering time as well.

About: I've cared for pets my whole life, only recently owning my own in the last couple years. I'm the biggest animal lover and I'll make sure your pets get the love and care they deserve. I have a cat who basically runs my life (in the best way). I take him out for walks every day and he gets every little thing he could ever want. I am also training him for certain commands, administer medications when needed, and keep his life as enriched as possible. No matter how clingy the animal, I'm happy to give any attention asked for and accommodate their needs. I am also great with careful introductions to new animals as I know some can be skittish or nervous and I will always have the patience to wait for them to come to me.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of many kinds since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed their pets! I am currently working from home, so I will have plenty of flexibility to play lots with your pets both on week days and weekends! I prioritize safety, trust & environment in your home and neighborhood. I do my best to follow specific instructions to make your pet feel comfortable.

About: Hi! I have been dog-sitting and walking for 5 years now and before that I have never been without a pup nearby! My house has always had at least 2 dogs (right now there are three!). I am living in an apartment right now and my pups are at my parents house in California, so I am without a furry friend and would love to give your pup all of my love and attention. I live near many walking trails and dog friendly parks, so your pup will have plenty of fun and exercise with me! I have experience with brand new puppies all the way through senior dogs. I am comfortable with puppies still working on potty training and older pups who need regular medication doses. I have a pretty spacious car to take your doggie on excursions if you would like!! They are also always more than welcome on the bed and couch for snuggles. I only work three days a week, so on my off days I will be around all day to take care of your pup on my off days (Friday-Sunday). I wake up pretty early (pre 7am usually) so all potty breaks and early meals will be attended to. I am also happy to adjust my schedule per ur pups needs. I have nothing but love and patience to give your pups!! I am a major dog lover and want to make sure your pup feels that love. They are always allowed on the bed and couch for snuggle and of course can have their own space should they need it! I am an attentive caregiver and love walking and exercising dogs so they will never have a dull moment with me. I also love bringing them around on errands so long as it is not too hot and you are comfortable with it!! I am also responsive on my phone and happy to send pictures and videos so you can always reach me and your pup!!

Judy C.
“Judy is the nicest and most responsible person I know. She has a love for all animals but especially pets. She cherishes them and goes out of her way to learn the best way to care for each animal/breed. During college, she balanced her chemical engineering degree with volunteering outside of classes and led multiple school clubs. Through these clubs, I saw her strong positive impact on the community and how she always put her best effort into each task. She goes to cat cafes just to hang out with the cats and has recently looked into volunteering at Boulder Humane Society to spend more time with animals. Judy brings a true passion to working with pets and treats all people and animals with respect and kindness.”


Morgan G.
“Morgan is amazing!! She took such great care of my dog, Nova, and my cat, Duncan, while I was out of town. Nova is a rescue and usually hesitant with new people, but Morgan won her over right away. Both of them were so happy and relaxed when I got home. It’s such a relief knowing I have someone I can completely trust with my pets. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!!”


Sommer V.
“Sommer is a very responsible and hard working young person. I am a professional dog walker and I absolutely trust her to care for my dog, or any animal for that matter.

She is caring and truly loves dogs, and understands that each one has its own personality and needs. Not only will your dog be in great hands with Sommer, they will probably also have the best time!”

Logan R.
“Cooper loves Logan! From the very beginning, it was clear that she is not only responsible and reliable but also genuinely passionate about animals. Every walk is more than just a task—she takes the time to engage with my dog, provide exercise and stimulation, and ensure their safety and happiness. Rain or shine, I know I can count on them to show up with a smile and a calm, confident presence that puts both me and my dog at ease. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet with the love, care, and respect they deserve, I wholeheartedly recommend Logan. — [Your Name]”

She also brought in the mail and any packages. She kept me informed on how they were doing and anything unusual that happened. I appreciated the communication and was able to travel without worry because I knew I could depend on Rory.”
