Dog Walking Gold Hill

About: I have five years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. My experience began when I fostered a mother cat and her six very young kittens. Several had respiratory infections, so I carefully administered their prescribed medication and monitored their care. I found loving homes for four of the kittens and adopted the other two. I later worked at a humane society and have also provided pet sitting for neighbors and family members. I raised my Doberman from 11 weeks old and have personally handled his basic training, exercise, enrichment, and daily routine. Having lived with pets throughout my life, I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and giving every animal patient, attentive, and dependable care. Pet care is my primary professional focus, allowing me to offer dependable availability and give each booking my full attention. I provide walks, drop-ins, and limited boarding throughout the week. To ensure personalized care and a calm home environment, I board only one guest dog at a time, subject to availability and a successful meet-and-greet. I provide walks and drop-in care in my clients’ homes, as well as limited boarding in my own home. My home has a securely fenced one-acre yard with plenty of room for supervised exercise and play. I have a Doberman and three cats, with separate areas available so animals can have their own secure space when needed. I board only one guest dog at a time and require a meet-and-greet before confirming a stay. Introductions are handled gradually and supervised carefully, and pets are separated during meals and whenever supervision is not possible. Before every booking, I review each pet’s routine, temperament, feeding instructions, medical needs, emergency contacts, and behavioral considerations. Pet parents receive regular photos and updates throughout their pet’s stay or visit.

“Sullivan did a great job walking our dog while we were away. She sent photos and updates. I looked forward to reading about their adventures that day. Thank you so much!”

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 am respectful, kind, and trustworthy. Your pet(s)/household will be in safe, reliable hands with me. I have extensive experience with large dog breeds, too (grew up with Bernese Mountain Dogs). I believe in treating others’ animals and property as I’d want someone to treat mine. Does your household have a particular routine or preferences? Just let me know. I want you and your family to be as comfortable as possible. If you need oral or subcutaneous medications administered, I would love to help keep your loved ones in the best health possible. House sitting engagements will leave your property as if I was never there and your pets well loved and treated with the decency all living beings deserve. Currently a parent of a husky named Thomas and three cats named Tony, Calypso, and Tut. Cats and dogs- I’ve had one or both my entire life. I use positive reinforcement training on my own. I work a set schedule Monday-Friday, so they will have consistency/stability throughout the weekdays. Rates include a drop in halfway through the day to help keep your baby comfortable. On the weekends, I’ll be available to spend the entire day with your fuzzy family members. How I care for your pets is strongly influenced by what you share with me. Household rules like crating, furniture rules, and routines will all be discussed with you and then adhered to during my stay. I also offer to bring in the mail, take out the trash, water the plants, and feed the goldfish. You know, those little details that matter.

About: I’ve been lucky enough to share my home with dogs & cats my whole life, and would love to care for your fur babies overnight in your home, drop-in for walks or spend time giving loving attention & meals. I live in the Nederland area and have a 4wd vehicle with high clearance, so no problems navigating mountain life for your pets! I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes of dog - I’ve raised rescue pups to mature gentleman & well-mannered ladies, and they’ve ranged in size from a 100lbs Golden Retriever/Chow mix to a 13lbs Pug/Shitzu. I’m a stay at home pet momma with a flexible schedule that allows me to can care for your fur babies overnight in your home. I live on five unfenced acres and walk my two dogs (always on leash) around Nederland, Sugarloaf, and surrounding areas of the Canyons. I’d be happy to go on leashed walks/hikes with your doggos! or if you have a yard, I’d be happy to watch your pup closely as we enjoy unleashed play time. I am accustomed to and prepared for mountain life and the variables it brings (wildlife, weather, fires, etc.).

About: I’ve had cats almost my entire life and have always been a huge dog lover. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of friends and family, ensuring they’re happy, well-exercised, and loved while their owners are away. I understand the unique needs of different pets and always strive to make them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or keeping a home safe and tidy, I take my responsibilities very seriously and treat every pet like it’s my own. I’m eager to provide peace of mind to pet owners while traveling and look forward to meeting your furry family members! I am currently working part time at a health food restaurant in Boulder. I work about 4-5 hour shifts and often get breaks. I am happy to take on more work by housesitting or dog walking, in between, or outside of my scheduled hours. My schedule is flexible and well-aligned to where I could often be at home with your babies giving them all the love and attention they need. I’ve always had a deep connection with animals and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I take my responsibilities very seriously and treat every pet and home as if it were my own. I’m a very clean, responsible and loving human and look forward to sharing some love with your furry ones.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and truly love spending time with them. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m a student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pet attention and care. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I’m reliable, responsive, and will always prioritize your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

“Hired Melissa to walk our foster dog Lucy and tend to her litter of six week old puppies (which is no small feat) for a week when we were away during the day. She did a great job. Highly recommend :)”

About: I volunteered at the local humane society for 4+ years and fostered puppies and adult dogs for the shelter. I also used to work for a dog walking company and have had my own dogs my whole life! I just graduated college, so I am free to love on your pet anytime! I also am active and love having a buddy to come on walks with me. I would treat a clients pet as my own, treating it with the love and attention it deserves. I would treat a clients dog with respect and be attentive to its needs.

About: Back home I’ve got 3 dogs (from a toy Aussie to a big husky) and a cat, so I’m used to all kinds of pet energy! love cuddling with my cat and taking our energetic husky on long walks. I’m comfortable with pets big and small, and I really miss being around them while I’m away at school. Whether your pet wants to play, walk, or just snuggle up, I’m here for it! I’m currently very flexible for this summer! I am open to anything! Currently looking for a part time job so my schedule may fluctuate, but will remain flexible. Back home we’ve got our dogs and cat in the yard and 1 dog in the house. We make sure to take them on walks everyday and have play time with them. Always make sure they get fresh water, especially in the summertime!

About: I have two big labs of my own and love caring for dogs! I’m open to any type of dog (big, small, loud, quiet, shy…) I am a student at CU, so I work around classes for pet care. Please send me a request and I will do my best to be there! I offer walking, drop in visits, and pet sitting. I can either have your dogs at my house when you need them out of yours (preferred), or am happy to come over to sit them. I do walks as well, from 30 minutes to an hour. I can walk them locally or take them to trials- whatever you prefer! Your dogs will always have water and be ready to rest up after our walks!

About: I’m Leo. Your dog will get walks, play, photos, and real company, not an empty house. I won’t only do these things because they need it but I’m happy to. I go hiking or biking almost every day. All sizes. I’ll follow your routine. You get updates the whole time. Request a meet and greet and we’ll go from there. I bet ill love your dog more than they love me. I’m a sophomore living on the Hill in Boulder. Most days look the same, which is good for dogs. I walk to campus for about an hour of class in the morning. Then I come straight home. I make lunch, take your dog out, hang on the floor with them, throw a toy, or just let them nap next to me while I study. That stretch in the middle of the day is a few hours, so they are not sitting in an empty place waiting. Afternoon class is one to two hours. Same thing after: walk home, another outing, water, treats, and time together. Nights I am home. Your dog will not be alone for more than two hours. If they need a mid-day walk, extra play, or just someone in the room, that is already built into how my day works. I’ll treat your dog how I’d want mine (really my mom’s) to be treated. I'm happy to give you access to my Amazon Alexa so you can see and maybe even interact with your dog. My place on the Hill is set up for dogs first. Doors stay shut, trash is put away, cords and anything chewable get picked up before a guest arrives. If I have your dog, they are not loose in a room I have not already checked. I do a meet and greet so we both know the vibe before any overnight. I follow your rules on food, crate, meds, and where they sleep. I do not leave them loose with the front door or windows open. When I leave for class they are either crated if that is what you want or in a safe closed-off space, and I am never gone more than two hours. Trust for me is simple. You get photos and a short update when I get home and when we go out. If something feels off I tell you right away instead of hoping it blows over. If you also have a cat, I keep them separate from dogs unless you say they already live together. Litter, food, and a quiet room stay theirs. I do not force handling. I let them come to me. The goal is a calm house, not a chaotic one. I live alone in an apartment, so I’m happy to have your pet as a buddy.

“Rachelle is truly amazing! She is one of my main caregivers for my pup Sophie, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Rachelle is incredibly caring, loving, and attentive—Sophie absolutely adores her. She is always punctual and communicates exceptionally well. For our 1-hour walk, Rachelle kept me fully informed every step of the way: when she arrived, how the walk went, when she left, and she even sent multiple photos that completely put my mind at ease. It’s so clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. Knowing Sophie is in such kind, responsible, and loving hands gives me total peace of mind. Rachelle goes above and beyond every time, and I’m so grateful to have her as part of Sophie’s care team. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💛”

About: I have grown up with dogs, and being around them my whole life has taught me to read their body language and understand their needs and wants. I’ll make sure your pup stays happy and healthy! I am available between 6am - 6pm every day of the week for walks or drop-in visits. I am taking online courses so my schedule is very flexible. I make sure your dog has ample opportunity to go to the bathroom, has access to water at all times, and if required, meals are provided.

About: I've had a turtle, birds & dogs growing up. I've had 3 Cocker Spaniels that I've had since they were puppies up until their senior years. I have hands-on experience with dog birth, training & medication administration. My mission is to create an atmosphere where your four-legged family member/s feel loved, cherished, and surrounded by a warm and caring atmosphere. I will keep you as updated as you desire through messages/photo updates, so you can see the smiles and tail wags firsthand. My experience, nurturing skills & patience will be sure to make your fur baby feel at home. Pet sitting and housesitting will need to be done at the client's home. I have a senior dog (Princess) who prefers to be an only child! I can stay overnight with your pet or check in multiple times a day. I am available to house sit Thursday, Saturday & Sunday. If you’re in Boulder, I can house sit any day of the week and do drop-ins throughout the day. Monday-Friday I can do drop-ins and stay overnight if you are in Boulder or the Boulder area. Friday-Sunday I can stay overnight and be with your pet/s full-time in or outside of Boulder. I listen to what your pet needs, whether that be some space or love/cuddles. I make sure they are comfortable and get the exercise/playtime they need. Making sure they have clean food, enough water & are administered their medications or fed at their proper times.

About: Hello! I'm a friendly and compassionate human who is ready to care for your animal when life is busy or hectic. I'm very genuine and trust-worthy and promise to follow instructions carefully so that your loved one stays happy and well. I've lived with animals most of my life and pet sit for friends and family regularly. While I'm in a transitional time in my life, I have all the time in the world to take your pet on a nice walk (I also LOVE the outdoors), or to the local dog park, and make sure they get a meal if needed. Here to make your life easier, don't hesitate to contact me and I hope to meet you and your fur baby soon! I’m available after 4pm Monday-Thursday, and fully available throughout the weekend. I’m currently enrolled in a full-time education program, so being able to have control over my scheduling with others is very helpful. I have two cats in my home, they’re able to be kept in a room if I’m with a dog that is cat adverse or has a strong hunting instinct. We have a nice patio, but no yard. We live in a quiet neighborhood that is great for walks and close by to parks. I can tailor our itinerary depending on the pet’s needs and am eager to do so. I love being active and outdoors and so do most of the animals I watch.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m originally from a beach town in New Hampshire and spent the last year living in Hawaiʻi before moving back to Colorado. I lived in Colorado previously, so I’m very familiar with the area and absolutely love the lifestyle here. I’m a senior at CU Boulder and spend as much of my free time outside as possible—hiking, skiing, camping, swimming, and exploring. I’m happy to keep active dogs busy with long walks, hikes, playing fetch, or plenty of outdoor time, but I’m just as happy hanging out at home with pets who prefer a slower pace. I also have experience with senior and special-needs pets and can administer oral medications. I know every animal has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adjust their care to whatever makes them feel happiest and most comfortable while you’re away. I’m a senior at CU Boulder with a pretty light class schedule Tuesday through Thursday, and the rest of my coursework is online. This gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout most of the day for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and plenty of quality time with your pets. I’m also around most weekends and love having a furry companion to break up my schoolwork! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, medications, crate time, playtime, or lots of attention and cuddles. I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets and understand that some animals need a little extra patience or reassurance. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats from 6 months old through senior age. I handle feeding schedules, walks, litter maintenance, playtime, and basic medications if needed. I’m also familiar with reading pet behavior to keep them happy while you’re away! I’m currently a senior year at CU Boulder and attend classes in person. Before booking please understand that some days are busier with classes than others, but I am more than happy to work with you! When not in classes, I’m very attentive to your pets needs and we’ll get them their daily exercise and attention. I am more than happy to come to your home and care for your animal. I make sure there is nothing for your animals to get into to make them sick, leashes on walks, and I have a keen eye for attention to detail to keep your pets safe.

“Jackson did an AMAZING job handling my strong and very reactive dog. I will definitely be using him again, and highly recommend him to anyone who has an dog that is not good with other dogs like mine.”
