Dog Walkers in Downieville, CO

About: I grew up with cats and now am a very proud blue heeler-boco mix owner. I am always happier if there is an animal in the room :) I love caring for, learning about, and working with all animals. I look forward to learning about what makes your pet special and unique. As I’m a teacher off for the summer, so have a flexible schedule to be able to help out with pet care. Hanging out with some new pet friends pets is always a great day! We live in Central City, so comfortable with mountain properties. I understand my job as learning your pet’s routine in order to offer as much consistency (and love/enrichment in your absence) as possible. I am here to respect your rules, expectations, and “how it’s done” when it comes to caring for your pet in your home.

About: I have three dogs of my own two of those being high energy. Additionally I spent some time in the veterinary field. My brother has had me dog sit for him on several occasions. I’m currently working extremely part time so I am available most mornings and afternoons. I am available most weekends as well and sometimes for overnight sits. I will take care of your fur babies as if they were my own. I love being outdoors so several walks per day is no issue.

About: I have been taking care of a large variety of dogs for 20 years. From eight weeks old to 16 years old, from pugs to chows and pitbulls to 140 pound malamutes I have cared for them all. I can come by to walk and feed your best friends once a day or stay and cook them meals as per your request. I want to make sure you and your loved ones are as comfortable as possible while you are away. I do freelance work so I have pretty open availability. Making sure you're needs are met so you are comfortable is my top priority. If for some reason I can't meet all of your needs I will tell you before committing to something that doesn't fit my schedule or abilities. I am here for you. How I care for your pets and home is mostly dependent on your requests. I give medicine, food and exercise as requested. I can simply fill a food bowl, measure servings and even cook protein and veggies for your dogs if that is what you want. I am happy to keep you updated or send you pictures if you'd like. Walks are as far/long/plentiful as requested. I want to provide you with the comfort of knowing someone is there to care for your loved one as you would while you are away.

“Erin was absolutely fantastic with Ollie. She took him on long walks, and was patient with him, spending extra time with him waiting for him to go potty. I’ll definitely be using Erin again in the future!”

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life. Ever since I was a little girl I would bring home injured or stray animals to care for. I've raised an assortment of pets from parakeets, cats, fish, bunnies, chickens, ducks, and many dogs. Our dogs are like our children to us. It's our goal to provide the very best life we could possibly give them with lots of love, structure, exercise, a good healthy diet, and medical attention when required. Any animal that comes in our presence will experience the same treatment. I work full-time remotely. While we don't have a yard per se, we live in the mountains bumped up against BLM land with lots of hiking trails and areas to walk. Our dogs get exercised daily on the trails surrounding our home. With my at-home work schedule, I have the flexibility to take walks for my breaks and lunch hour and to get up and take care of things as needed through out the day. We get up early and go outside immediately so our dogs can relieve themselves then we go in and have breakfast. After breakfast, I start work while the dogs tend to relax on the bed behind me. I will take them out to potty again on my first break then on my lunch hour, we go for a walk through the forest behind the house. They get another potty break on my second break and then another short walk after I sign out of work for the day in the evening time. We free-feed our dogs but if we have other dogs in the house we will adjust the feeding and schedule to the visiting dog(s). We are normally in bed around 10 pm and our dogs are fully on our schedule for sleeping. If we need to step out for a bit, our dogs are good being left alone in the house but we do have a crate if needed for dogs that aren't good being left alone.

“Gus loved his walk with Abigail and came back a very happy boy! Thanks for exercising him so well!”

“Mitchell was awesome!!! My family and I were riding the Georgetown Train Loop but had our dog en route. Mitchell walked and played with her for 2 hours while we rode the train. He even met us at the train station when we were running late!! Our doggie had a great time thank you!”

About: Animals have been a gift in my life in so many different ways. I've had cats and dogs of my own throughout the years but none presently who live with me, but I do miss them so! I worked in animal care and adoptions at a Humane Society for half a decade and I've worked as a Veterinary Technician at a clinic for a few years as well. I've been intermittently house sitting on and off since I was in my teens (20 years ago!). I've come to see a lot of different homes and learn about their particular needs over the years, and have learned to communicate clearly and ask questions about expectations and what not. It can be an intimate experience living in someones home and caring for their beloved four leggeds and taking them on as your own. House sitting feels much more than just a gig to me, it's truly stepping into the world of the people I'm sitting for and learning how to love and care for their beings, belongings, plants, kitchen things, neighbors, appliances, etc. I do love a good woodstove or fireplace and nothing beats a snuggled up animal by a warm fire with tea. I run my own wellness business as a sound healer so have a flexible schedule and do sessions remotely for clients. I have chunks of flexible time to spend with animals who need a little extra TLC or what have you, which I am so grateful for! I love getting outside for walks and its always nice to have a canine being to enjoy that with. Or, sometimes its nice to have a feline being to hang around with if they are wanting any interaction. I will take on your home as my own for the time that I am there and treat it as such and care for it to the absolute best of my abilities.

About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life and have worked on a farm where I took care of chickens, horses, pigs, goats, and more! I have a passion for taking care of animals and will take care of yours as I would want someone to care for mine! I live in a van & have the flexibility you need to ensure your animal(s) are taken care of! From drop ins, house, sitting, and walking. I cannot take your animal into my home but can accommodate your requests for care within your home! I can also help with crate training, basic commands, bathing, administering medications, and routine feeding schedules.

“Kyra is amazing with our two large breed dogs. Handles them well and really cares about them. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi there! An animal lover, I have had dogs and cats for most of my life. Currently I have a 11 year old husky shepherd mix who loves to play. I am comfortable with spirited dogs but am happy to work with quieter, more timid dogs as well. Most animals are at ease around me and I take care of your pup like I would my own! (Aka Belly rubs are on the menu!) I enjoy being active with animals of all shapes and sizes, playing, and being sensitive to their needs. I am formally trained by Paw School and I work with simple methods and treat bag (taking into account any allergies you may report) to help train or maintain your dogs manners. I will be patient and respectful with your dog and your home, and like to have fun and develop a bond with the animals I meet. I look forward to working with you! I have some commitments out of the house but can take your individual pets needs into account when pet sitting to ensure they have the attention and outdoors time that they need! We have a large yard and enjoy taking long walks in the forest outside our front door. Our yard is a dog’s paradise with places to run, to look out on the world, to sunbathe, and to take cover in the shade.

About: I’ve taken care of kids and animals my whole life because I love providing love and care to all living things! I enjoy taking pets on walks, engaging them with their toys, and of course giving them some good pats and scratches :) I work remotely and have the flexibility in my schedule to match the routines you keep with your fur babies. Taking a break from work to go on a walk, play fetch, or give some pats & scratches is my favorite! Any pet in my care will be getting the VIP treatment where attention, playtime, and affection are concerned. I used to be a teacher, and from my time managing classes of over 35 middle schoolers and their art supplies, I am a very flexible, detail oriented person, who follows instructions closely which would translate well into specific care needs for any pet. You tell me what your pet needs and I will make it happen at a high quality!

About: I am a certified, professional canine obedience trainer and have two fur babies who are my world and they have taught me that there is no greater gift than that of an animal who trusts you to be the best you that you can be in every aspect of your life. Without balance, there can be no peace. I am an avid and experienced sitter who is dedicated to delivering the utmost quality of care to all clients, furry and human alike. I have pet sat for many family members and family friends as well as a number of Rover and private clients. I require meet and greets so that I can answer any questions and or demonstrate my services as well as discuss what may need to be done before, during and after care provided as well as any extracurricular services such as plant care, garbage removal, mail collection and light housework depending on the length of the stay. All is doable so you can be confident that I am the right choice for you, your beloved family members and your home. My schedule includes but isn't limited to the hours of 6PM-7AM as I work outside and all across Denver. So rainy days will most definitely be spent lounging around with your furry family. Some days I may have other obligations however checking in with you and ensuring every furry companion is set and settled while you're away is my top priority. As an individual house sitter who works with both animals and people, it's important to understand that animals can pick up on how they and their environment are being treated just as people can. It is important to always be aware of how everyone (animals too!) expect themselves and their homes to be respected so I take great care in learning everyone individually. As a canine trainer, my aim is to respect the training regiment/schedule and expectations laid out to help our companions live their best life.
