Dog Walking Five Points

About: Just as no two people are alike, every animal needs tailored care and attention. Whether your pet is a puppy needing an active walk or a senior cat who prefers quiet companionship, my goal is to create a reliable environment where they feel safe and seen. I operate with a flexible daily schedule, making me available for consistent midday walks, last minute drop ins, or multi-visit vacation requests here in the LoHi/Highland area. I treat the process of meeting an animal for the first time with immense respect. During our initial meet & greet, I focus on establishing a baseline they can trust. My Experience: • Medical Care: Competent in administering various types of medications (oral, topical, etc). • All-Weather Walks: Ready to provide structured, safe exercise around your local neighborhood or parks. • Basic Grooming: Happy to assist with brushing, bathing, or wiping down paws. • Cats & Dogs: Grew up surrounded by both cats and dogs, giving me a deep understanding of their boundaries and body language. I look forward to meeting you and your pet to build a lasting routine they can count on. I have a flexible schedule and can visit your home during the day or night. Let me know what you need, and we can work something out. My priority is to maintain a secure environment by respecting your household rules and adhering to your specific instructions. I actively monitor your pet’s emotional cues and body language, finding natural moments to gain their trust, whether through play or calm moments. For pets requiring extra attention, such as aging seniors, anxious rescues, or pets recovering from illness, I ensure their care is meticulous and empathetic. I accommodate slow walks, frequent bathroom breaks, and specific medication schedules. As a lifelong pet owner, I have navigated unexpected medical emergencies with both my own and other people's animals. In these moments, I act urgently, logically, and calmly. My Safety Commitments: • Door Darting: I always block the door frame with my body when entering or exiting to prevent door darting. • Gear Checks: I verify that all collars, harnesses, and leashes are properly fitted and secure before stepping outside. • Distraction-Free Walking: My phone is only used to log your Rover Card or take photos; my eyes remain on your dog and the surrounding environment. • Local Vet: I will verify your preferred vet location during our initial meet & greet. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and establishing a routine both of you can count on.

“Was very accommodating and took Piper on the best walk! Could not be more grateful!😊”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and positive reinforcement, and I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs—whether that’s long walks, playtime, or calm companionship. In addition to dogs, I have extensive experience caring for exotic pets and animals with complex care requirements. I currently have a pet bunny of my own and volunteer at a rabbit rescue, which has given me strong experience with special diets, medications, behavior observation, and attentive, detail-oriented care. This background makes me especially comfortable handling pets with medical needs, unique routines, or extra attention requirements. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take pride in providing reliable, thoughtful care you can trust while you’re away. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule during week days and on the weekend. I am able to adjust my time to meet your pet’s individualized needs. I am open to any times of day for drop-in visits, with a preference for mornings and evenings. I take safety and trust in my clients’ home ever seriously. I follow all care instructions closely, maintain secure doors and gates, and ensure pets are always supervised according to their needs. I’m respectful of your space, keep routines consistent, and provide clear communication so you can feel confident that your pet and your home are in safe hands while you’re away.

About: I've always taken care of animals growing up. I've had many dogs, cats, and fish. Taking care of them and making their lives more full has always been something I enjoy. I'm free to take care of your animals most weekdays from the early morning until 4 when I go visit my mom and go to the gym I love playing with dogs and going on walks. I'm used to picking up after animals from years of taking care of and training puppies.

“Rachel was amazing with our elderly dog & cat. She was very considerate of their needs, loving towards them, and clearly communicated with us. I would definitely recommend her service and will be using her again!”

Anna B.

“Frank is a real sweet guy. He is very understanding of my old Golden's needs. He is very communicative and does everything I ask of him to care for my dog with a smile on his face!”

About: I’ve raised my own pup Scout (dog in my profile picture) for 6 years now and she is quite possibly the happiest dog you’ll ever meet! I love all animals and am excited to help out with your pet! I’m available for drop ins and short walks. I am pretty flexible on my schedule and will work with you to make sure our schedules align to best help your pet. I have my own dog named Scout, she’s a little Aussie mix and she is the coolest pup on earth. Hanging out with her and raising her has been truly one of the best things in life.

“We love Mariah! She walked my pup during my travel nursing contract in Denver and took great care of her! She always provided thorough updates and lots of photos/videos.”

“Tex had a great time with Abigail. I’d definitely recommend Abigail for walking and taking care of your pups!”

“Rena is the BEST! Charlie is calm and happy when I get home, and I'm thankful maps/photos/report card letting me know he was well cared for. Communication with Rena was seamless, and she was flexible and understanding when there were some hiccups accessing my new apartment building. Highly recommend, with no reservations. THANK YOU RENA!”

Anna K.

“Kaylla was amazing! My dogs sometimes suffer from separation anxiety but they didn’t with Kaylla! She would send me daily pictures of them playing and even eating, which they usually don’t do while I’m away the first couple of days. They warmed up to her immediately and looked so happy to see her in the pictures. Kaylla was prompt and always started the walks on time. I will absolutely hire her again whenever I go out of town!”

About: I have 2 dogs of my own, and I have been helping to care for friend’s and family’s pets for over 20 years. I have experience with all types of dogs (including those with behavioral issues), medication administration, basic training reinforcement, and of course all the cuddles and butt scratches! I will make sure your furry friend is well cared for and feels loved while you’re away! I work from home unless I am traveling to a customer site, so I have a lot of flexibility to check in on your furry friends! I will come to you to ensure your pet gets to stay in their home environment while you’re away! No added stress of bringing your pet to an unfamiliar home.

“First time I have used Rover and I Was thoroughly impressed with Paulina. Definitely will use her again. Foxy was happy when I got home. 🙂 loved the photos and comments regarding visit.”

“Jackson was great with the dogs and did everything I requested and more! He was also able to make my last-minute walking request work with his schedule. Would recommend!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s individual personality. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I’m happy to tailor walks, playtime, and care to what makes your pet happiest. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pet like they’re my own! Plus, you can absolutely expect plenty of updates and cute pictures while they’re with me! And treats if allowed of course :) BACKGROUND CHECK FRIENDLY I work remotely from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or house sitting. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention rather than leaving them alone for long stretches, and I’m happy to work around their normal routine as much as possible. I can always work on the go and will communicate my meeting schedule with you, so you know exactly what periods of the day I’ll need to be focused on work. Outside of those times, my schedule is very flexible, so I can easily accommodate walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention. All photos in my gallery are friends and family dogs that I care for regularly. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their feeding, walking, and potty routine consistent, and make sure they’re comfortable in my care. I live in an apartment, so pets staying with me will get regular walks and outdoor breaks. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. I take this more seriously than anything! Your pet will become part of my family and I will always put their needs and safety first. All photos in my gallery are friends and family dogs that I care for regularly.

“Chantel was fabulous! This was our first time leaving Roxie in our new home in Denver and we felt very comfortable leaving her in Chantel's care! We were out of the country and greatly appreciated the updates she sent us with pictures of our little doggie- Roxie looked very comfortable and happy on all her walks :) We would definitely recommend her and would certainly hire her again! Thanks again, Chantel!!”

About: I've been living my dream for the past four years, traveling the U.S. as a full-time digital nomad while pet-sitting in exchange for accommodation as I explore new cities, towns, and countryside. Having now built an extensive pet-/house-sitting resume (i.e., over 60 five-star reviews, which I’d be happy to share with you) on a different platform that focuses on travel exchange, I'm eager to offer my quality services as more of a business through Rover! While I've traveled all over the U.S. to pet-sit, my Rover reviews, specifically, so far come from Kansas City, San Diego, San Francisco, and Anchorage. I will be in Denver for the fall (staying in the RiNo district), where I hope to find some pets who need a new friend in me! I’ve spent LOTS of time in Denver and surrounding areas over the years, and I’m so excited to be back! Over the past few years, I've cared for all sorts of pets, ranging from one healthy cat to a seven-animal pack including previously-stray dogs who need to be proven to that they're safe. I've truly made some best friends in these pets; my top favorites have been pitbulls with a personality, as well as cats who provide me some freedom in my daily routine. I've also provided all sorts of medical care to my furry friends: simple pills in pill pockets, "pilling" a cat, checking glucose levels of a diabetic cat and giving it insulin injections, giving a dog allergy immunizations, post-seizure comfort care to a dog, physical guidance for a dog who was both blind and deaf, and sincere patience with senior dogs on walks, going up stairs, or who are in the stage of life of needing to wear diapers. I've also watched service dogs who adhere to a different set of rules/commands than their siblings. (When I was younger, I helped train a litter of puppies, so that's also not foreign to me.) While the pet- and house-sitting experience I have amassed is top-quality, my resume stems from and highlights a simple, true love for spending time with animals, especially dogs and cats. What you can count on from me as your pet-sitter: 1) I will end the sit with various nicknames for your pets, 2) I will talk to them all day and invite them into every room I hang out in (as long as they're allowed), 3) I will send you at least one/two picture(s) a day, if not more because you request it or they do something extra cute/funny, and 4) I am very attentive to animals' nonverbal cues, and I will contact you and/or a virtual vet if something seems really off. Through both pet-sitting platforms I’ve used, I have made so many furry friends and have cultivated relationships with pet owners and their communities. In my profile pictures, I have included some of my reviews on the other platform I've used, specifically to showcase the kinds of animal families I have watched and how I am used to pet-sitting (and living my life) in different places all the time. However, if a pet-owner is still curious, I would be happy to provide them with my full profile link. As a nomad, I also want to emphasize that the locations and dates for which I am searchable are 100% confirmed, stable, and are not at risk of changing. (When I am looking to do Rover, I tend to be renting a place in one spot for a while, location/plans determined several months in advance.) If you are at all hesitant about my ability to take care of your furry friends, I'd love to hop on a call and tell you more about my lifestyle or my plans for my time in your area! Pet-sitting has been such a huge part of my nomadic journey, and I can’t imagine anything better. Pet-sitting is something I’ve done since childhood (back then, for neighbors), and I’ve utilized it to travel in adulthood. I converted to / added on Rover several months ago to monetize my experience in light of being impacted by a mass layoff. I wanted to utilize the top-tier experience I’d built to financially stabilize my life while in a full-time job search, but also beyond. Nowadays, I am working remotely again part-time (with a super flexible/self-set schedule), which only deepens my ability to travel to other parts of town to check in on pets and walk dogs while doing, or in between, my digital work, which I can do in various settings! In addition to being able to travel to a pet-sit during the day, to work with a furry friend cuddled up on my lap, go on walks, etc., I am really enjoying having extra time to pursue some side creative passion projects that I’ve historically had to put on the back burner! I love to spend my free time writing/blogging, scrapbooking, reading, practicing yoga, doing all of that in nature/parks, cooking/baking at home, and going out social dancing! Your pet is sure to have a best friend in me, no matter their energy level. :-) I'm a digital nomad, and pet-sitting has been such a huge part of my journey! I am super excited to be back in Denver for yet another fall season, and I'm eager to share my time with your pets! My calendar is updated for those dates I'm available. I can start my days early and stay up late; I've watched pets who rise before the sun comes up, as well as ones who sleep in like teenagers! I have a lot of remote, digital work to do, and your pet is welcome to sit in my lap / at my feet while I work. In my part-time employment era, I have more flexibility and time on my hands, so I figure I might as well expand my time with pets! If you need someone throughout the day, I love a good coffee shop, so I can hang out at one in your area between drop-ins. Even though I’m renting in your city, for the right price, I look forward to keeping your pets company overnight <3 (most of my experience on Rover so far). In my free time, I enjoy blogging/writing, reading, practicing yoga, cooking and baking, enjoying coffee shops and parks, and going on walks. So, both energetic and calm pets will have a buddy in me. I love a good night in, but I also love to explore new neighborhoods. I look forward to doing so while watching over your furry family! I only agree to pet-sits I feel confident about meeting the pet/home-owners' expectations. Luckily for those searching for the best care for their fur family, I have an extremely wide range of successful experience in medical, psychological/anxiety, and senior pet care, as well as home care. Some pets simply need--and want--a human to take them outside and feed them. Others require a bit more attention. I think I really have done it all. I've watched over and bonded with eager, cuddly pets, as well as many rescued/previously-stray dogs who take quite a bit of time to warm up, and cats who fill the litter box and empty the food bowl but rarely show their face. I'm always eager to give the animals my love and affection, should they welcome it, and to fulfill their care needs. I follow all procedures and care that your pet is used to / that you request for them and your home. I am very attentive to pet-owners' instructions, from feeding instructions to crating needs during specific amounts of time alone/overnight, to medication instructions and symptoms to look out for, to times your fur baby needs to be let out or prefers to wake for the day or go to bed. If your pet loves to cuddle and is allowed in the bed or on the couch, they will be welcome to join me. Additionally, I've been astounded to learn how important the HOUSE-sitting portion can be. . . . I've saved a flooding bathroom caused by the connected unit, handled a creepy neighbor while keeping the homeowner involved, kept a saltwater pool clean and operating, oversaw an AC and furnace replacement, and more. Especially for overnight stays, I am known to leave homes just as clean, if not cleaner, than I found them, with bedding and towels taken care of if my departure time allows.
