About: My love of dogs started in 4th grade when my family adopted the best black Labrador ever! We named him Smoky. I fed him and cared for him. He loved to take walks and fetch sticks. I am organized and can follow a written schedule. My daughter has been doing Rover for a couple of years now. She has taught me the ins and outs of caring for pets in another person’s home. She has encouraged me to do this due to my capabilities and love of pets. I am retired. I have flexibility. My business background taught me the organizational skills to mesh together multiple schedules. And I know how to treat your home with respect. I will follow your written instructions. Feeding, medication, brushing, walking, sleeping. If your pet has had a trauma, I need to know about it. Communication is key. If I am at your home on trash day, I will take out the trash. Let me know what day it is. I will collect your mail. Your home will be treated with respect. Non smoking homes only. Your pet will be loved.

“We were in Telluride doing some longer hikes and needed to find a dog walker for our two dogs. Found Bryan on Rover. He came to the house to meet the dogs a few days prior to the scheduled service. He was on time, walked both dogs and gave me a thorough update on the visit. We will definitely book Bryan again!”
“Gosh we just love Sierra! Since I only need an occasional walker she is hard to book because she has so many clients but both my puppy and I loveee when she is available. She is sweet, trustworthy, leaves the most detailed notes, respectful of our home, and even goes the extra mile like bringing in a package when she gets there at the same time as UPS 😂”

Steven has helped us a few times now. He is always extremely responsive, responsible and the dogs love him! (The cats don't talk as much but I'm pretty sure they think he's fine.) We are so grateful to have Steven to help us. He took our oldest dog out for a walk by herself and then came back and got the other, more rambunctious ones!
