Dog Walking Crossroads

“Mackenzie is wonderful! Highly recommend! My dog loves her and looks forward to seeing her for every walk. She is very kind, reliable, and responsible, great at communicating and planning. I know she treats my dog like her own. My dog and I are so thankful for her!”

“Addisen is an incredibly reliable, safe, accommodating and trustworthy companion friend. She is very easy to communicate with and has a beautiful presence with animals. I’d highly recommend.”

About: I absolutely love dogs. All dogs, period. I have a deep understanding of each dog's unique needs, quirks, and preferences, and I make sure to give a tailored experience that goes beyond routine tasks. I strive to create a home away from home for your dogs and make sure they are comfortable as well as you. I currently work in the early afternoons with two days off during the week with full availability. I am an early bird and can be there for your dog as early as 6:30am until about 12:00pm. Safe Space: Designate a specific area or room for the pet, providing them with a sense of security. Exercise and Playtime: Engage in regular play sessions and take your pet for walks or provide a secure outdoor space for them to explore. Social Interaction: Spend quality time with your pet to prevent loneliness and anxiety. Provide toys and enrichment activities to keep them mentally stimulated. Emergency Plan: Be prepared for emergencies by having a first aid kit and knowing the location of the nearest veterinary clinic.

“Thank you Gillian! Our babies are clearly in good hands with you. We hope to book you again soon. We appreciate the updates and pics. You did a great job!”

About: Hi there! All my life I have been an animal lover and for the last 8 years I have raised my own dog, and taken care of other dogs for families I used to babysit for. I can fit in any lifestyle your pet has, whether they are active or a stay-at-home. I can fit any accommodation as I work from home, love to exercise (so your dog would get plenty of it, if need be), and I'm incredibly flexible and will be normally free to help you more than not. At the same time, I raised my dog since she was a puppy so I do have experience with younger, more energetic dogs and overall I would simply love to help and treat your dogs like family. I hope we can talk soon! I'm super flexible and work from home at the moment so I basically can take care of your dogs whenever you may need it. I will certainly be more free for your dog rather than not! I will care for your pet in your home however you see fit. I do what is asked and can fit any accommodation whether your dog has a lot of needs, or simply needs a walk and some playtime. I'm happy to help however it may be!

About: Hi! I’m a passionate dog lover and proud owner of two dogs who are a big part of my everyday life. We go hiking every day to enjoy the outdoors and stay active. I always make sure they receive plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and cuddles. Whether it’s going for a hike, enjoying a walk, or simply relaxing together, I’ll make sure your dog feels happy and cared for! 🐶❤️ I have every morning free, and I only work 2/3 hours in the afternoon from home but I still have time to walk even in the afternoon. I have a fenced garden where the dogs can safely play and enjoy some outdoor time. I also have two cute, friendly dogs who love spending time with other dogs and keeping them company. In my home, your dog will be part of the family and will stay with me, receiving lots of love, attention, and care in a safe and comfortable environment.

About: I've grown up my whole life with all different animals; I've had dogs, cats, gerbils, turtles... I've been immersed my whole life in looking after them; this includes walking, scooping litter, feeding, and even changing water filters. I love taking care of and spending time with animals; it's a very calming and enjoyable thing for me. I've been entrusted with taking care of many of my family and friends' animals as well, always getting positive feedback from the animals' guardians. My name Is Will, I'm a junior at the University of Colorado Boulder studying Environmental Science. I do stay pretty busy with classes however would love to escape from my schooling and take your dogs on walks or do home visits playing with them or doing any other needs that may arrise. I'm pretty open late afternoons into the night tuesday through friday, leaving plenty of time for any tasks. Sundays are also very easy relaxing days where I could be open to helping out at any hour. I’m willing to walk for pretty cheap, I’m really in it to hang out and play with some fun dogs. I don’t get to see many animals while at school so going on some walks would really fill that void! Personally I would love to come to your house and care for your animals, I say this becauase I live with seven other University of Colorado boys. Which depending on how active your dog is could be a perfect match or it could be a little overwhelming. So coming to your home and walking them would be the most ideal for the situation I'm in. However if you did feel comfortable with them coming over that would weork aswell!

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!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I have plenty of experience caring for them and understanding their different personalities and needs. I absolutely love dogs of all breeds and sizes and enjoy spending time playing, walking, and giving them lots of attention. I’m currently studying Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at CU Boulder with hopes of becoming a veterinarian. I’m responsible, patient, and loving, and I’ll always treat your dog like my own! As a college student at CU Boulder, I have a flexible schedule outside of my classes that allows me to dedicate time to pet care. I love spending time with animals, so incorporating walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention into my daily routine is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m great at managing my time and making sure every pet gets the love and care they deserve! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I make sure to give them plenty of attention and patience. I also keep their space clean and provide regular updates and pictures so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands!

About: I am respectful, kind, and trustworthy. Your pet(s)/household will be in safe, reliable hands with me. I have extensive experience with large dog breeds, too (grew up with Bernese Mountain Dogs). I believe in treating others’ animals and property as I’d want someone to treat mine. Does your household have a particular routine or preferences? Just let me know. I want you and your family to be as comfortable as possible. If you need oral or subcutaneous medications administered, I would love to help keep your loved ones in the best health possible. House sitting engagements will leave your property as if I was never there and your pets well loved and treated with the decency all living beings deserve. Currently a parent of a husky named Thomas and three cats named Tony, Calypso, and Tut. Cats and dogs- I’ve had one or both my entire life. I use positive reinforcement training on my own. I work a set schedule Monday-Friday, so they will have consistency/stability throughout the weekdays. Rates include a drop in halfway through the day to help keep your baby comfortable. On the weekends, I’ll be available to spend the entire day with your fuzzy family members. How I care for your pets is strongly influenced by what you share with me. Household rules like crating, furniture rules, and routines will all be discussed with you and then adhered to during my stay. I also offer to bring in the mail, take out the trash, water the plants, and feed the goldfish. You know, those little details that matter.

“Donovan walked our dog 3x last week. He did a great job. He communicated with me and sent photos of our dog. It went well and we appreciated Donovan’s help!”

“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!”

About: I've had a turtle, birds & dogs growing up. I've had 3 Cocker Spaniels that I've had since they were puppies up until their senior years. I have hands-on experience with dog birth, training & medication administration. My mission is to create an atmosphere where your four-legged family member/s feel loved, cherished, and surrounded by a warm and caring atmosphere. I will keep you as updated as you desire through messages/photo updates, so you can see the smiles and tail wags firsthand. My experience, nurturing skills & patience will be sure to make your fur baby feel at home. Pet sitting and housesitting will need to be done at the client's home. I have a senior dog (Princess) who prefers to be an only child! I can stay overnight with your pet or check in multiple times a day. I am available to house sit Thursday, Saturday & Sunday. If you’re in Boulder, I can house sit any day of the week and do drop-ins throughout the day. Monday-Friday I can do drop-ins and stay overnight if you are in Boulder or the Boulder area. Friday-Sunday I can stay overnight and be with your pet/s full-time in or outside of Boulder. I listen to what your pet needs, whether that be some space or love/cuddles. I make sure they are comfortable and get the exercise/playtime they need. Making sure they have clean food, enough water & are administered their medications or fed at their proper times.

About: With over 8 years of hands-on experience and a lifelong love for animals, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, ages, and needs. I understand that every animal is different, from energetic puppies who thrive on structure and activity to senior pets who benefit from a slower pace and extra attention. My goal is always to provide thoughtful, personalized care that helps every pet feel at home. At home, I have a golden retriever named Cosmo who loves making new friends and a tuxedo cat named Cleo who is social and adaptable! My approach to pet care is calm, reliable, and attentive. I take the time to get to know each pet and make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s reinforcing training, going on daily walks, or providing companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated with lots of cute pictures. My partner and I both work from home so have flexibility in my daily routine for care! We typically keep it chill during the day and then do walks or hikes in the evening. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I love creating an environment where every animal feels comfortable, safe, and loved! I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs, tailoring my care to what makes them happiest. Whether that means long walks and hikes, fun training games, or plenty of cuddles, I make sure every pet gets the patience, attention, and affection they deserve while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and respect I give my own!

About: I have always loved being around animals and have had a lot of experience with caring for them. I have taken care of all different types of dogs, big and small, and I love taking care of cats too! I currently work at a veterinary clinic and previously worked at the Humane Society, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals with different needs and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I understand how important pets are to their owners, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my own! I’m currently a student at CU so my schedule is pretty flexible the only times I am unavailable is weekdays from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and playing with them throughout the day. I have a younger dog who needs to be watched frequently and am able to put dogs in crates if needed. I also have experience with taking care of cats and love to play with them too!

“Campbell was great! She was punctual. She responded to my message within 10 mins!!! And she was able to come walk my dog day of the request. She was great!”
