Christine was absolutely amazing with my very shy/anxious dog. She was patient and gentle with her during the first meeting, and she was available last minute. Definitely recommend!

Tim provided wonderful care for my puppy during a difficult time. They understood her needs, communicated clearly, were really respectful of my home. I noticed that they remembered specific concerns I had made sure to keep those im mind. I also appreciated the thoughtful pictures they sent and their intentionality in the details they provided about how the care went and how much puppy was doing. Thank you, Tim!

Esteban is wonderful! Our dog Luna took to them right away, and it's clear they genuinely care about the animals in their care. I also really enjoyed getting to chat with Esteban—they're warm, friendly, and easy to talk to :)

About: Years of experience with animals ranging from horses, goats, cattle, pigs, birds, turtles, cats, and (of course) dogs. I am very comfortable around all shapes and sizes and have some experience with animals with special needs and behavioral issues. If you are seeking help with a more challenging pet while youre gone, don't hesitate to reach out! I would love to meet your furry friend and see if I would be a good fit for you care needs! My schedule varies, but it is highly flexible! With advanced notice I am able to work around most dates/ times to better fit your pet care needs I have two dogs of my own in a second floor 1 bed apartment with a large patio space. My neighborhood is quiet (perfect for walking furry friends), and there is a park nearby. I have two dogs in my home, a blind Chocoalate lab named Tramp, and a small cocker spaniel mix naamed Juliet. Both pups are crate trained, threshold trained, etc.

Shelly really understands our big girl dog, and is always prompt, follows directions to a T, and sends the cutest photos. This time she dropped by to give our dog her dinner (diet, so kibble with a bunch of veggies) and a walk. Thanks, Shelly!

About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs my whole life, and currently have 2 kitties at home. I love getting to know each animal, and experiencing the cuddles and love each have to give. One of my favorite times of day is playtime- I feel like they always come alive and it’s so fun to be a part of. I have also done a lot of overnight cat/ house sitting as well! I’m currently working part-time and have a few other side gigs, so this works into my routine perfectly! I love the flexibility of pet sitting. I know that some animals especially cats are more sensitive than others, and I like to give them plenty of grace and space to get to know me and become comfortable with me. I know animals are all unique with their personalities and limits and I always try to respect what they show me they are okay with. I am comfy with daily visits and also overnight stays.

Thank you so much Jennifer! 5 stars! I am an anxious dog mom to a very anxious doodle, and it’s very hard for me to find people that I feel comfortable leaving my little fur baby with. But from the moment I started communicating with Jennifer through Rover, my anxieties were eased! Jennifer is kind, warm, and a very clear communicator! She was very gracious and non-judgmental too as I over explained and neurotically walked through Ruffles’ preferences and routines! I felt so at ease at work knowing she was taking care of my baby and didn’t even think twice! And her updates and pictures were always great and informative. It’s funny too how you just know when your dog likes someone, and I could tell he really felt comfortable with her! Can’t wait to book again for dog walking.

I can’t recommend Karly enough. She is quick to respond, always on time, and my pup loves walking with her! She has even been able to accommodate last minute requests on such a short notice. I can relax a bit at work knowing my pup is in good hands when she is scheduled to walk with Karly.

About: I’ve always had at least one dog in my home and am happy to care for yours! I recently moved from Seattle area and I’m unemployed for a few weeks so I have plenty of time to dedicate. Walking dogs also seems like a great way to explore the city. I’ve had many experiences w/ behavior challenged pups and/or rescue animals. I have spent my fair share of time with nervous and aggressive dogs and although I love them dearly I would prefer to keep to drop-in/walk visits for such pups as I have occasional visitors and a dog of my own. My pup Luna and I frequent dog parks and local trails often and we love furry friends! I have a nursing schedule so my days off are completely free. Plenty of time for green lake, discovery park and dog parks just to list a few of the favorites. We are a very relaxed pet family with one dog. Shedding and messes are not uncommon and not a problem. Happy to host when possible.

Sophie has been amazing with my girl Rosie as she adjusts to city life. She has made a huge impact on keeping her calm and helping keep her active by giving her good exercise and working with to stay calm and focused while encountering squirrels, other dogs and loud noises on their walks. I have noticed such a change due to Sophie's interventions. Sophie is prompt, communicative and kind. A one of a kind! Rosie adores her!

About: I have used Rover for over 10 years as a pet parent myself, and now I want to return the favor as a sitter! I know how important your dog is to you, they are your family! I love getting to know each client's unique needs and backgrounds -- Are they friendly with other dogs? Do they have any fears or phobias? What is their routine? Are they doing any training right now? How often would you like to receive updates? I love taking photos and videos of your sweet pup if you are interested. I can't wait to meet you and your cute pupper! I work from home Monday through Friday on the computer and I have a quiet, dog friendly neighborhood for lunch time walks with lots of smells! My home is the perfect spot for a cozy nap in the sunshine. I aim to treat your beloved pet the way I would my own.

Emily is so lovely! She is very patient, flexible and clearly works very well with dogs of all temperaments. One of my dogs is a bit of a special one-requires a specific approach and Emily was very easy to chat with and willing to take on a bit of a challenge. She was super friendly and sent amazing pictures of the pups. It was my first time trying Rover and I will definitely do it again, especially with Emily!

About: I grew up with many types of rescue dogs at home. I love all dogs but especially poodle mixes and have experience with doodles. Coqui is now 5 years old and I got him at 8 weeks, so understand the doodle ways. I will take great care of your fur baby! Also, dog must be ok with other dogs in the house. Coqui is very friendly and loves other dogs. We typically go on 4x walks per day, usually one of them is a longer trail walk or to the offleash dog park. Your dog will get plenty of exercise. If they are older or don’t need as much exercise, I would do shorter/separate walks. I work from home part of the week so can keep your pup with me and my dog coqui, we typically walk a few times a day and one of them on the longer side. I can crate your dog or let them hang out with coqui. Usually he’s in an enclosed space with me while I’m working. Dogs are allowed on the furniture.

We’re repeat clients of John’s and continue to work with him because he’s fantastic with our dog and an all-around great human. He cares for our pet as if he was his own, and that has led to developing a level of trust that’s hard to come by. As always, we highly recommend John if you’re considering contacting him.

It was wonderful to be able to count on Natalie to help us with three walks over the holiday weekend! Our dog, Grover, is anxious around new people and dog reactive. Natalie was happy to take things very slowly with him until he was comfortable and gave me lots of updates. She definitely went the extra mile (sometimes literally) to make sure he got out on a nice walk and was well taken care of. It was a huge relief to find someone we could trust, which allowed me to relax while away. We will definitely be reaching out to Natalie soon to book more walks!

Enzo is a gem! I appreciated their flexibility to arrange a meet and greet since my dog is selective about the dogs she likes. One thing that struck me on Enzo's profile was that they understand the importance of mental enrichment and positive reinforcement for dogs; Enzo's pup Arlo seems super smart and engaged and I'm excited for Naya to be cared for by someone so invested in dog behavior and science. Naya's first walk with Enzo and Arlo reassured me that Enzo would be an excellent, attentive caregiver for Naya. I look forward to working with Enzo more!

Stephanie is a gem! She's an incredibly thoughtful dog guardian and caregiver. I appreciated her warmth, flexibility, and attention to detail. My dog Naya has reactive tendencies and it was such a relief to meet a sitter who already spoke the language of fear-free, positive reinforcement training and whose questions anticipated our needs. I look forward to having her walk Naya.

Andrew is a phenomenal walker! He’s responsible, a great communicator, and he is very thoughtful about my pup’s care. Having volunteered in some similar settings to Andrew, I would trust him to handle all sorts of dog temperaments and scenarios - there really is no training like city shelter experience. I am very happy working with Andrew and would recommend him heartily to anyone!

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Grand Lake dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Grand Lake.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
