Dog Walking Edwards

About: I love dogs and our family enjoys caring for other pets so that others can go on vacation! My 12 year old daughter will be helping me a lot since she loves to give attention to all dogs. She will be supervised since either myself or my husband are mostly at home. She enjoys working with them on basic skills such as sit lay and paw. I am home 4 days a week. I love to be outdoors and tend to take multiple walks/runs per week along with 1-2 hikes. We have two 1 year old golden retrievers to encourage us to go outside! My husband works from home. I have 4 kids ages 9, 11, 16 and 19 who love to give attention to furry friends. Our 2 year old puppies that are both boys and they love playing with other dogs. I sincerely apologize but we are currently not accepting pitbulls for our sitter services.

“Isabelle was very accommodating to our schedule and took great care of our pups. They were sufficiently tired when we got home - and a tired dog is a happy dog! We highly recommend Isabelle Thanks again!”

About: Hi! I'm Kaile (Ki-la), or Auntie K, a born and raised Colorado mountain girl who moved back from Hawai’i where I dog sat full time for years. I moved back to Colorado to work as a social worker and working part time so the rest of my time is available to give your fur babies the best experience possible! I specialize in pups that need extra attention. Whether they need to be around people all day because of temperament or separation anxiety, if they have problems being around other dogs, perhaps they're shy and skittish, or maybe they have other behavior problems, or whatever other special needs your furry family members have needs, my background working for the human society and working with traumatized rescue dogs and special needs little humans in preschool. Give me the knowledge, temperament and experience to ensure the best experience for your pups. Those dogs are what I'm here for. I base my scheduling and pricing on having one pup with me at a time (unless they're "sibling" dogs from the same ohana), and if there's an occasion for overlap with another dog it will only be if I've notified you beforehand and gotten your permission. Please also keep that in mind when you're comparing prices and other dog sitters, while possibly having a yard and all of whom are amazing, offer services for multiple, often up to 7 dogs, at the same time. WHAT YOUR PUPS DAY WITH ME WILL BE LIKE I might not have a yard but we're right on the river as well as connected to a great walking trail system. I am at home all day every day, so I'm available for unlimited walks, hikes, potty breaks, whatever your pup needs. From the time you drop them off to the time you pick them up, I can guarantee I will be with them the entire time, playing ganes, going on walks or hikes, working on basic training, curled up on the couch for a nap or hanging out in the kitchen together as I cook dinner, feeding your pup in the kitchen so they're eating with me and my dad. ALL DAY ONE ON ONE EXPERIENCE! I will never leave your dog alone in my home, even if they are boarding over night. Many other area dog sitters work outside full time jobs, or are out of the house with their children for a good part of the day. They might require crate training, or will put your dog inside and be home only every 4-8 hours for a few short minutes for a quick shishi and water break. Would you pay for your toddler to be babysat all day with a family that, like yourself, works outside their home all day? Where they would leave your child in a locked room except for being let out twice a day for no longer than a potty and snack break? Why would you want the same for your fur baby? A DOG SITTING EXPERIENCE THAT'S LIKE A BABYSITTING/NANNY EXPERIENCE INSTEAD OF A GLORIFIED HOME BASED KENNEL I don't have children living with me and currently I don't have my own dogs with me. When you dog is here with me, they're with me the entire time and I treat them exactly like they're my own fur babies. I live in Avon CO and will be out of town from Sunday Oct 18- Tuesday Nov 3rd but when I return I should be available all winter season across the Vail Valley :-) Your pup's safety is my top priority. I live in a 7th floor condo with my father in Ko Olina. We have one lanai with sliding glass doors. I have an extra fence that I put up when I have tiny pups to keep them safe. We have one wide open room for the kitchen and living room so your dogs will always be in my sight even if I'm not directly interacting with them. I don't let any dog leave my front door without their collar and leash, and if they have one their harness. I go on lots of walks and adventures, even occasional runs and hikes depending on the dog and 'ohana wishes but I will never take them off leash. There is a dog park in Ewa that provides a secure off leash area. Its not somewhere I go often but with one of my regular pups, their parents okayed taking him there. I will only utilize this option after first speaking with you and getting your okay. I will only take one dog at a time (two if they're the same ohana) and always be with them. I know with COVID winding down socialization is a concern of many of our dog ohanas. I will sometimes have more than one dog staying with me. Most commonly its for an ohana with two pups. The other times they're dogs from two of my regular clients. I never have a new dog at the same time as another, even a regular. I like to spend time bonding with your pup and getting to know their personality and how they interact with other dogs. If they do well I will ask you if you're okay with your pup having playtime with another dog I know. Two of my regular pups are now BFF! Especially after COVID many puppy parents are concerned about their furry family member being socialized correctly. This is my aim whenever I have more than one dog. I never have more than one or two more, and I make it a point to provide even more direct interaction to help your dogs learn to or continue to socialize with their puppy friends in the safest and healthiest way possible! I have worked at the humane society in Colorado and volunteered in multiple shelters. I have basic dog and cat first aid training.

“Hunter really seemed to love dogs. I was especially impressed with his meet & greet. I would've liked a daily photo and timeliness however I wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thanks!”

“Mackenzie was outstanding as she was on time, provided great updates and pictures for each walk. If we come back to Avon again, I’ll be making sure to book her ahead of time. She took great care of our special needs dog who is in doggie wheels and was very understanding of our dogs limitations. We sure do appreciate you Mackenzie! 🐾🐾❤️”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in elementary school sitting for neighbors or friends friends. I also have a dog of my own! I am a current nighttime snowmaker at the Beaver Creek Ski Resort! I would love to take care of pups around town in my free time! I live near hiking trails and around a lot of residential streets. We have a golf course as a backyard for frisbee or ball games!

“Alison and Cody were great! Easy to get along with, understanding, and very trustworthy. We did a meet & greet last week, and then did a walk together last night. Have already booked them again for an extended trip in July!”

About: I've been caring for dogs my entire life and bring a calm, attentive and intuitive approach to every dog i welcome into my home. I grew up caring for dogs and have owned both Golden Retrievers and a long-haired Dachshund, giving experience with a wide range of temperaments-from energetic and playful to gentle and sensitive. I provide a structured, safe and loving environment where dogs can feel at ease while maintaining their normal routines. I'm highly attentive to each dogs individual needs, whether it's exercise, companionship or simply a calm space to relax. Having hosted many dogs in my home and being a former dog owner looking for care over the years, I understand how important it is for both pets and owners to feel confident and comfortable. My 9-year-old son Bobby is kind, respectful and experienced with dogs adding to the warm, family style environment your dog will be a part of. Nestled in Red Cliff, our home offers a true mountain escape- endless fresh air, trails, a dogs dream playground I currently have full availability, I'm home throughout the day to provide loving, attentive care, regular walks, playtime and calm, consistent routine for every dog. Our home features a partially fenced yard, a peaceful low flow creek on the property and easy access to Red Cliffs dog friendly trails for leashed or unleashed adventures in the backcountry.

“Amazing! ❤️”

“Romina showed up for Bill ! She is very sweet and easy to communicate with. She took Bill on good long walks & her dog Figgy kept Bill company too. I was very happy with Romina's care and will definitely reach out to her again!”

About: I have had dogs ever since I could remember as a kid. I have experience sitting for small, big, old, young, and medically complex animals, also including cats and reptiles. I have administered medications/observed certain pets as well that needed a little extra attention. I really enjoy engaging your pets in the routines you have set for them and being silly with them to bring them out of their shells. I miss having my own dogs who have sadly passed from childhood and would love to spend time with them! I currently work early mornings, but can switch that around, Friday-Wednesday, usually off by 3pm. I would be able to house sit any of these days and do walks any morning and afternoon! I ensure I understand expectations from every owner on their routines and desires. I ensure I keep the place clean and give the animals the space, as well as attention, they need! I try my best to mimick what their usual routine is so when the owners get back, the transition is smooth and less anxiety stricken for both parties.

About: Hi! I’m Hannah 🐾 I’ve had pets my whole life and have been caring for other people’s pets since I was 10, so taking care of animals has always been something I genuinely love. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I treat every pet like they’re my own and love getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and quirks. Whether your pet wants to go on a long walk, play nonstop, or just curl up for some cuddles, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they need. I’m responsible, caring, and always want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and at ease. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your furry friends! 🐶🐱💕 I currently work as a barista, my schedule varies but I typically work 4 days a week from 5 AM–12 PM, which means I have plenty of availability in the afternoons and evenings to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule and routine to make sure they get plenty of love, playtime, walks, and attention while you’re away. 🐾💕 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I want them to feel safe and comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any other care they’re used to. I’ll give them plenty of attention, love, and cuddles while also respecting their space if they’re more independent or shy. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m also happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away!

“Great communication. Friendly and loved our Toby.”
