Martha has been incredibly helpful, reliable, and genuinely caring with my dogs, who can be high energy and reactive on walks. I know my girls are safe and comfortable when she comes to visit them. Martha has also been flexible and accommodating with my changing schedule, which I truly appreciate!!!

Ryan helped last minute take my dog out several times over the course of the weekend. He was easy to communicate with, flexible and gave plenty of updates. Appreciate the walks!

About: I grew up with three family dogs. I know how to take care of them, give them affection, read their body language, and more! You can trust me to treat your fur babies well. I’m a current student so have plenty of gaps in the weekday to take care of your pets and walk them. I’m not typically busy Sunday nights either. I can follow any special instructions provided to me and will be sure that your pets needs are fully met in the best way possible.

About: Im a lover of most all animals especially dogs. I worked at a major dog toy manufacturer for over 10 years. Became friends with a dog trainer who taught me about behaviors and the do's and dont's when interacting with dogs. Is your dog a 'fetcher', 'chewer' or 'tugger'. I'm looking to making new dog friends. I'm recently retired and all days are available. It also gives me an opportunity to get some extra exercise while having a lot of fun doing so. I am looking only for dog walking and sitting at pet owners homes to start. That may change in the future but for now that's what I offer.

About: I grew up surrounded by pets my entire life and learned to care for them (and love them) very early! My family has had numerous dogs of all sizes and plenty of cats of many different personalities. I have lots of experience with reactive dogs and my most recent dog was a pitbull (my baby), so I also have experience with the strong ones! I recently moved out here from New York, where I had to leave my pets with my mom sadly, and I am looking to fill that gap in my life by helping others out. I’d love to be trusted with your babies when life may take you away from them. I’m currently working part time and will be available most weekends to pet sit. My work days start at 10am and end at 7pm if I am scheduled a full day that day. My work is very flexible and if I know far enough in advance can make accommodations to take off. I currently live in an apartment with no yard but I am located right in downtown Golden. I am 2 blocks from a dog park, if your dog likes parks, and 2 blocks away from clear creek for some good lengthy walks when needed.

About: Though I am just starting out walking and doing pet care, I’ve been looking after dogs for 11 years, since I was a child! I have also had 2 years experience caring for cats. I currently own a blind dog and am familiar with providing tailored care for special needs dogs. I have also looked after and walked senior dogs and given medication. I am a college student working part-time over the summer. I am consistently free mornings and afternoons, with some evenings as well. I also have flexible work hours, so I can change my schedule to accommodate recurring walks and visits, given notice! I have strong attention to detail, but I also have personal experience. I can work with as little or as many directions as my client provides in order to provide the optimal walking or visiting experience!

About: have experience working with pets of all ages, including high energy puppies who need structure, patience, and consistent training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who require a gentler approach, medication reminders, and close monitoring. I’m very observant when it comes to behavior, so I can quickly pick up on changes in mood, appetite, or health and respond appropriately. I work part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings for drop-ins or extended care. I can easily adjust to your animals usual routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I focus on making pets feel at home, even when their owner is away. I stick to their usual routine, keep their environment clean, and give them lots of love and attention (or space if they prefer that). I’m very patient with shy or nervous cats and make sure they feel safe and cared for at all times.
