Dog Walking Elbert

About: Hi there! I’m really glad you’re here. I know how personal choosing a pet sitter is. Choosing someone to care for your animal isn’t about convenience- it’s about trust, and about finding someone who sees your pet the way you do: as family. That’s exactly how I care for every animal I meet. ⸻ I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals- big, small, healthy, fragile, goofy, complicated, misunderstood. They’ve been my greatest teachers. Professionally, I’ve spent over eight years in pet care, starting at PetSmart where I cared for everything from dogs and cats to reptiles, fish, and exotics. I’ve completed 500+ walks and sits on Rover/Wag with a perfect 5-star record- not because I’m perfect, but because I truly show up for each pet as an individual. I also worked with Freedom Service Dogs, supporting training and care for service animals in training- an experience that taught me so much about patience, communication, and trust. My background is a little unique: I earned my degree in Animal-Assisted Therapy from the University of Denver, and even worked as an Animal-Assisted Therapist alongside dogs, horses, guinea pigs, and rats. Animals have an emotional world, and I take that seriously. ⸻ In my personal life, I’ve always had a soft spot for the ones with special needs. I’m current a mom of three cats, including one with IBS/genetic abnormalities annd another with FIV. I also adopted a 17 year old hospice cat with cancer, who ended up living well past the 3 months he was given. I believe that love and dignity matter at every stage of life. I also help care for my landlord’s incredible farm family when they travel: 2 dogs, 3 cats, 1 horse, 2 ponies, 4 donkeys, and a flock of chickens. Honestly, it’s my dream job! ⸻ My Promise to You and Your Pet I don’t rush visits. I don’t “just feed and leave.” I sit with them. I learn what makes them feel safe. I even talk to them- though no one has talked back…yet. Whether your pet is shy, anxious, elderly, energetic, or extra wiggly, I will meet them exactly where they are- with patience, respect, and genuine care. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pet in your absence, not replace you but reassure them until you return- I’d be honored to help. I own my own mental health-focused business and work remotely, which provides me incredible flexibility in that I can work when, where, and how I want. This allows me to fit in dog sitting/walking gigs as I see fit. Since pet care doesn’t feel like a job for me (more like a hobby that happens to bring an income), I love to be flexible to enable me to spend as much time with animals as I can. That is MY definition of paradise! When in my care, I’ll treat your pet like my own. The foundation of my relationship with any of my clients’ dogs is built on respect- respect for you as the parent, respect for me as the human in charge when the parent is away, and respect for the dog and their needs as an unique individual.

“Remy was fantastic with our boy. Gave him twice daily walks and tired him out. We appreciate you so much, Remy. Loved the twice daily pics of our Charlie. Definitely will use her again!”

About: I grew up in the country (Elizabeth) on some acreage, surrounded by animals of all kinds, so caring for them is second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve had hands-on experience with horses, chickens, ducks, turkeys, pigs, dogs, and cats—each with their own personalities and needs. As a current dog, cat, and chicken owner, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your animals. I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. Working from home or in transit to meet clients, my schedule is flexible. I live in Elizabeth and when I’m not in my home office, I’m in Parker, Castle Rock, Kiowa and surrounding areas. As I work for myself and set my own schedule, I’m available for daily or multiple times a day to support you in caring for your fur babies when you are unable to be with them. My own fur babies are a bit spoiled. When I’m at home they are generally nearby. We spend time outdoors on the property regularly. (though Chloe prefers to be inside in her favorite chair) Otis loves walks and eagerly hops in the car when we go for walks in town. (and he looks forward to the pup cup that follows) Otis is about 140lbs (cane corso) and Chloe was rescued from a ranch where she had been severely injured and semi feral. She was very skittish and she has blossomed into an attention seeking snuggler with a continuous purs.

About: Hi! I’m Bella, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all personalities and needs. I currently have two dogs and two cats of my own, and I grew up with animals in the home, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. Throughout college, I would dog sit and walk often and even started my own pet sitting business through a university incubator program. Through that experience, I spent a lot of my time researching dog behavior and care, and I became especially comfortable with anxious and reactive dogs. I understand how important it is to create a calm, safe environment and to follow routines that help pets feel secure. I work full-time from home, which allows me to be flexible and present, whether that’s staying at your home for pet sitting or stopping by for check-ins. I’m reliable, active, and will treat your home and pets with the same respect and care as my own. I’m happy to care for dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as cats. I’m always attentive to cats each pet’s unique personality and needs. Please feel free to set up a meet and greet for me to get to know you and your pets!🐶🐱

“My 1 year old lab took to Alexandrea right away! She spent 1 hour walking my pup while I had a long day at work and I came home to a happy, not stressed, pup. I will definitely book her again!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with pets and have always felt most at home around them❤️ My husband and I recently moved to Colorado with our Great Pyrenees that we rescued in 2023. She is our baby and may be a little spoiled. She’s a gentle giant, who has no regard for personal space, and LOVES a new fur friend-no matter the size! Before moving to Colorado, I spent time in Los Angeles working as a full-time dog walker, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. From quick 30-minute drop-ins to hour-long walks, overnight boarding, and house sitting, I’ve handled it all. Now that I’m settling into Colorado, I’m excited to bring that same reliability and care to a new community of dog owners. Your dog won’t just be walked — they’ll be in good hands! I am currently home all day, every day, so I have plenty of time to play and entertain your pups! I’m available for all services! We have a dog park that we like to go to regularly for potty breaks and exercise. I am able to kennel dogs if needed.

About: I grew up with dogs! I l have always been asked to watch a freinds dog or a family friend’s dog! I have plenty of experience with animals, I used to foster dogs and puppies, I did that for 2 years! I stay at home mostly all the time, I mainly do school, and take care of my dog or I clean up the house. I prefer it that way. I live in a very open house, nothing that animals would hurt themselves with around, a big fenced in backyard, tons of toys and plenty of food and water

About: I have been dog sitting since I was 17, spent the night at houses with animals, provided walks, food, baths and playtime. Many clients have asked me back. I have worked with both cats and dogs. I also grew up with cats and dogs and know how to care for them well.

About: Hi there! My name is Evelyn and I’ve been a pet sitter for over 10 years. It’s an absolute pleasure to care for animals! I’ve cared for all sorts of breeds in all different sizes, anything from a Chihuahua puppy to a Great Dane! I’ve also worked with senior and special needs pups including new born puppies! They’re such a joy! I love taking pups on hikes, dog parks, dog beaches, etc. You name it! It’s a great way to get exercise and meet new friends! I always make sure to carry water with me on walks and communicate with the owner on how their pup is doing! I know it can be hard to be away from your companion sometimes, so for all the overprotective parents out there, don’t worry, I’m your pups personal body guard & photographer! :) I make sure to send extra updates on top of the daily updates. :) I understand some pups/cats have special needs such as medication or have tramas/triggers, and I can certainly provide that modification to fit their needs. I’ll make sure your furry friend gets enough exercise, is fully hydrated (especially during the summer!) and most importantly that they get all the love and attention in the world!!

For safety precautions I have a fenced yard and a metal gate around the fenced yard for extra security. I also hook up a Apple air tag for dogs on their leash/collar in case of emergencies where we will be able to track them. I do want assure you that pets are NEVER left unsupervised!

About: I have taken care of Friends, Family and others people's pets for years now. I have experience and love animals!! I walk, feed, adminster medication, bathe, and keep company. Pet care fits with my daily routine around my work schedule. I have weekends off, but I can watch during the day. I sometimes work a couple hours in the early evenings, but I am usually home. I have a freindly older dog of my own to keep your dog company, I can crate your dog if you want, but I do have a good size fenced In backyard for them to run around and play.

About: My promise is to love your dog as much I love mine! I can walk with them and not rush. Dogs need to smell the roses ... grass .... their corner ... yes, take it all in! I've only walked my dog and daughter's so I'm relatively new to doggies. A dog will always always see a person's love and heart. I hope you have dog poop bags .... it's a pet peeve of mine. I truly believe in being a poop svooper. Take the memories with you, leave nothing behind! Allow me to watch your fur baby just like I take care of mine! I will also provide a quick description of dog's activities while I care for them which gives you peace. XO

“Lucy has been a tremendous help with walking our dog Lulu. She is punctual, responsive and available when we need her. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi I'm Tori! I've been working closely and training with dogs for the better part of 8 years. When I first started working with dogs, I walked packs of 8-10 dogs off leash in San Francisco parks! I'm solely based in positive (R+) reinforcement training and love to help owners build their best relationships with their beloved pups! I am currently based in Colorado Springs. I'm familiar with great dog-friendly trails and have worked with all kinds of dogs (temperaments, age, and sizes)! I have a dog friendly home in Old Colorado City. I do have a safe fenced in backyard. I always do "meet and greets" before boarding or training any dog. If I stay at the dog owners' home, I stick to the dogs normal schedule/routine and make sure their home and pup is better than I found it! I'm trained in understanding dog's needs and being hyper aware of my environment to ensure safety of the dog I'm watching/walking! I hope to meet your beloved pup soon! Please reach out with any inquiries or questions! I’m very flexible for my clients needs! I do not have any pets of my own and am gone less than 6 hours a day, if I am gone at all. I always try to stick to the dogs normal routine and care! My home has no other pets and I am very experienced in walking, training, and sitting at my home and pet owners homes!
