Dog Walking In East Boulder

About: I have had dogs growing up all of my life! I have a special place in my heart for dogs and I have volunteered with animal shelters and taken care of neighbors and families dogs. I am a Pilates Instructor and never work more than a 4 hour block so I have plenty of time in my schedule to help with pet care. When I am in a clients home I am always respectful and follow all rules and regulations set by them. I understand that pets are family and they will be treated with the utmost respect.

“I’d never used the app before but loved how easy it was for Sam to keep me updated both times he visited to walk our dog. Our dog is an old boy and can be a little defensive at times, and pretty slow-moving, but Sam was super patient with him. Sam walked him for a full 30 minutes and from what I can tell, he just let our dog take it slow, sniffing (and peeing on) all the things along the way, which is his absolute favorite thing to do. I’d recommend Sam for sure, and will ask him back if we ever need help with our pets again!”

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.

About: I have had family dogs and cats since I was young and love spending time with animals. I have experience with dog walking, dog sitting, cat sitting, and house sitting. I strive to take detailed care of each pet and follow their normal routine to keep them as happy and healthy as possible. I have a very open and flexible schedule, so I can spend all day with your pets to give them the attention and care that they deserve. I take care of pets in my client's home so that they can maintain the routine that they are comfortable with and feel safe and at home while the clients are away.

About: I've been a dog sitter for over 5 years. I have cared for pups of all kinds, from tiny Chihuahuas to big lovable Great Danes! I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always treat them with patience, love, and respect. I myself have a labradoodle at home who is a total goofball and so lovable. Whether it’s going on long walks, playtime, or just hanging out and giving belly rubs, I’m happy to meet your pet’s unique needs. I also have experience caring for dogs with special routines including giving medication and sticking to specific schedules. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are always my top priority! I am a full-time college student. Pet care fits perfectly into my flexible college schedule! I love spending my free time walking, playing, and caring for pets whenever I’m not in class. With that said my schedule is very open during the day with long breaks in between class. I also have Mondays, Wednesday, and Friday-Sunday totally free! I care for pets in their own home where they feel most safe and comfortable. I follow their routines, keep their space clean, and make sure they feel loved, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals—growing up with five amazing dogs, two cats, and recently pet-sitting my brother’s cat and her litter of five kittens when I visit family. I’ve learned how to raise, train, and care for animals deeply and intentionally. When we had chickens, I remember training my dog to gently herd them back into the coop while my cat stood watch like a little guardian. I also recall how our dogs and cats would sense when one of my family members—whether my siblings, mom, dad, or grandma—was feeling down and would go over to comfort them. That’s when I realized how smart and intuitive animals can be when we trust and guide them. Over the years, I’ve gained experience dog-sitting for my mom’s friends, caring for my roommates’ cats, and providing care for a friend’s service dog. I’m comfortable with animals of all temperaments and needs, and I always approach each one as a unique soul with their own personality and rhythms. I also know how to bathe both dogs and cats with care and patience (yes, even the cats!). Whether it’s trail walks or quiet time at home, I’m here to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and totally at ease. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give your pet the time and attention they deserve—whether that’s outdoor adventures or simply being a calming presence. I work from home, so my schedule is incredibly flexible and I’m available throughout the week to care for your pets. I can stay at your home overnight, providing consistent care for both cats and dogs. Whether you’re going on a short vacation or need someone for a long-term stay, from weeks to months, I can be there to make sure your pets get the attention and love they deserve. I’m available for stays of any length and can provide both regular visits or extended care as needed. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be a big decision, and I’m committed to building trust by providing the best care possible. I’ll ensure your pets are always supervised, whether on hikes, at the dog park, or just enjoying time at home. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have regarding your pet’s routine or care needs. Whether it’s making sure they get to their preferred groomer, giving elderly dogs extra attention with special instructions, or managing specific dietary or medication needs—I’m here to make sure they are well taken care of. I’m also committed to keeping their space clean and comfortable, with daily cleanup and a tidy environment, so they feel right at home. You can trust me to treat your pets with love, patience, and respect while ensuring they stay safe, happy, and relaxed in a familiar routine.

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.

“Mika is a lovely lady that my dog loved immediately. She's gentle yet firm with my dog, which is needed as she's a pit and stubborn. Mika was also great at communicating and flexible in her schedule. I'll definitely be using her again.”

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: I have over 14 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Growing up in a family that currently owns 9 dogs across 6 different breeds, I am deeply familiar with diverse temperaments—from high-energy pups to those who just want a quiet snuggle. Managing a multi-dog environment has taught me how to stay attentive to each animal's unique needs, dietary requirements, and personality. Whether your pet needs a long walk or some extra patient companionship, I treat every dog with the same care and dedication I give my own family’s pack. I currently have full-time availability, which means your pups will be my primary focus throughout the day. I am always free to provide walks, playtime, and companionship whenever they need it. My flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate last-minute requests and provide consistent, reliable care for your pets. I love getting to know how your dog thinks so that I can take better care of them. I am always attentive to your dog's needs and body language to ensure they stay safe, happy, and comfortable while in my care. I have experience with everything from small lap dogs to large, high-energy breeds, so I am happy to welcome any well-behaved pup into my home.

“Great!”

About: Hello! My name is Megan, and I recently received my master’s degree from CU Boulder. As I search for a full-time position, I have a flexible schedule and would love to spend some time helping care for your pets. My main goal of being on Rover is to gain experience with dogs so that I can be prepared to adopt my own someday! To help me gain confidence and comfortability for achieving that goal, I would work best with smaller size dogs. I’m also happy to spend time with older dogs that may just want some companionship, attention, and a calm presence while their owners are away. While I haven’t owned a dog myself, I’ve helped care for friends’ dogs over the years. I’m dependable, organized, and flexible with scheduling. I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help! I’m currently job searching, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time throughout the day and week for pet care. We can work something out and I will adjust my schedule as needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to follow the owner’s routine and instructions as closely as possible so their pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m very mindful and respectful of household rules, including where I’m allowed in the home, feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific care instructions. I also make sure pets get attention, playtime, and companionship during my visit.

About: You know when you’re out in public and your dog unexpectedly rushes straight over to say hi to a random (specific) person then needs to be physically pulled away even after they got the attention they wanted? For some reason, I’ve always been that random but specific person. Sometimes it feels like dogs suddenly materialize in front of me or like their “hello” is really more of a “it’s about time you got here!” Dogs (and cats, for that matter) also tend to insist on cuddling up next to me instead of their usual pick when I visit their homes (and I’m certainly not complaining). I currently only have cats, but I grew up with three dogs (a chocolate lab, a miniature schnauzer, and a Pomeranian) and have learned how to love both in the ways they want me to love them. What I love most about dogs is how pure they are. We all appreciate their undying loyalty, of course, but the sweet, unconditionally caring emotional presence that dogs carry themselves with is one of the things that makes life worth living. I consider non-human animals to be people too, and dogs are definitely among the best non-human animals. I would be just as excited as your dog(s) would be to make a new friend! My availability is flexible in general but particularly in terms of the time of day. I have a circadian rhythm difference that makes my sleep “schedule” change throughout each week, so if I’m given sufficient notice (48 hours), I’m easily able to modify my waking hours if your pet has time-sensitive needs. As mentioned in my bios, animals seem to naturally see me as a Disney princess. However, even though I’m very confident that I’ll get along with your pet(s) without any issues, their friendship is theirs to give, not mine to demand. Their needs are my top priority (and would be even if I weren’t petsitting); I recognize that some animals need lots of time and space to truly feel safe, and giving them that time and space is the only way to create a mutually comforting environment. Even if your dog/cat actually is insatiably social and unfailingly affectionate, I want to be sure that I get an idea of any individual boundaries or strong preferences beforehand so that I’m able to treat them with the same respect and care that I would a human person. As far as dogs and cats that want lots of love and affection, I am happy to give and share it! My cats sleep with me most nights and I often have one on my lap or next to my leg throughout a given day. Either way, I’ll follow your pet’s lead.

“Linnea was great with Okie. She was always on time and Okie loved her. She was flexible with scheduling when needed. Would highly recommend her and we would definitely use her services again.”
