Dog Walking Grant

About: At the heart of my business is a simple philosophy: your dog isn’t just a pet on a schedule; they are family. While many sitters offer a standard walk around the block, I focus on creating a comforting, structured "home away from home" experience that respects your dog's unique personality and rhythm. Here is what truly sets my care apart: Specialized Senior Care: I have a deep softness for our older companions. I am highly experienced in managing gentle mobility assistance, strict medication schedules, and recognizing the subtle signs of discomfort or anxiety in senior dogs. I ensure their days are peaceful, safe, and filled with quiet comfort. Puppy Training Support: Raising a puppy takes a village. I don't just watch your pup; I help reinforce your ongoing training. From consistency with housebreaking and crate routines to practicing loose-leash walking and basic commands, I ensure your puppy’s development stays right on track. A Cozy, Low-Stress Environment: Whether they need high-energy mental stimulation or just a warm lap to lean against while you're away, my goal is to maintain the exact level of comfort and security they feel when they are with you. When your dog is with me, they aren’t just being watched-they are truly cared for, understood, and loved. My flexible schedule allows me to prioritize your dog’s specific routine, whether they require precise midday medication, extra puppy potty breaks, or last-minute care when your plans suddenly change. Whether your dog is staying at my mountain retreat or I am visiting them in your home, my care is entirely centered on love, wellness, and specialized attention. I treat every pet like family, ensuring their physical, mental, and emotional needs are fully met through a luxurious, high-standard routine. Here is exactly how I care for your pet: Positive Reinforcement Training: I believe in building confidence through kindness. Throughout the day-whether we are practicing leash manners or rewarding good choices-I use positive reinforcement to keep your dog engaged, happy, and learning. Outdoor Adventures (Walks, Hikes & Lake Swims): Taking full advantage of our beautiful surroundings, I tailor outdoor time to your dog's energy level. This includes brisk neighborhood walks, scenic mountain hikes, and even refreshing lake swims for the water lovers. Home-Cooked Nutrition: Proper nutrition is vital. If your dog eats a specialized diet, I am happy to cool and prep their custom, home-cooked meals precisely to your instructions so their digestion stays perfect. Weekly Grooming & Pampering: A clean pup is a happy pup. I incorporate a weekly groomer routine to keep your dog brushed, fresh, and feeling their absolute best during extended stays. Dedicated Snuggle Time: Emotional comfort is just as important as physical exercise. I always make plenty of time for quiet, cozy one-on-one snuggles so your dog feels safe, loved, and completely at home.

About: I lived with pets growing up...dogs, cats, reptiles, horses. I am very active, and will play or run with your animal for hours! I am licensed to administer medication to humans, and have volunteered with wild animal rescues, so I can care for sick animals too. I choose the hours I work at my job, allowing me to pick up a shift at any hour and remain flexible with last-minute changes. I won’t be boarding at my home, but I have reliable transportation and wouldn’t mind taking your dog to a dog park or nearby hiking trail. Otherwise, let me know what you and your animal feel most comfortable with! I will always respect your wishes. :) I can be flexible, if you communicate your needs with me! ;) Message me to schedule a public meeting place and time so I can get to know you and your dog, then leave from there if it feels right. I only meet in public spaces. :) You can get to know me and how I will vibe with your dog or cat before we hit the trails.

“Jenn is absolutely amazing! We have a HUGE lovable dog and Jenn was so great about taking him out on walks, feeding him and staying communicative on how he was doing. The handle to our front door ended up getting stuck (it’s an older door) and Jenn even called me to let me know and spent over an hour helping me coordinate getting it fixed so that she could get in and take care of our dog. She went above an beyond what we expected and plan to use her every time we go on vacation! Thanks so much Jenn!!”

“Rebecca is so sweet with our pup. He is excited when she shows up. We appreciate her walk notes and pictures. It’s a match made in dog heaven.”

“Michelle was an absolute win for Aum. She was stoked to be walked by her. She loved her mid day walks & companionship during my longer work days. Michelle brought attentiveness, patience, & thoughtful handling to every walk, and it showed in Aum’s demeanor. I had full confidence in the care & attention she provided. Would gladly book with her again & highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, intuitive care. Thank you so much Michelle!”

About: I've rescued, adopted, and rehabbed animals since I was a young girl. I have experience with all ages, and those with mobility issues and disabilities. I am currently working from remote/from home and am done by 3 30 pm, which always gives me the opportunity to be with your fur babies all day. I care for animals as closely to what they're used to, in their homes. I'm very careful to follow feeding times and walking times closely.

About: Personalized Dog Boarding & One-on-One Care 🐕 One Dog—or One Household—at a Time 🐾 I’ve raised and cared for animals my entire life—from two wonderful Staffordshire Bull Terriers to cats and even a Scarlet Macaw. Over the years, I’ve learned that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. That’s why I keep my boarding intentionally small. I care for just one dog at a time, unless the dogs are from the same household. This means your pup gets my full attention in a calm home environment, without off-leash interaction with unfamiliar dogs. What Your Dog Can Expect 🐕 3–4 walks per day, tailored to their energy level and routine 🏡 A calm, comfortable home environment 👀 Close, attentive supervision throughout their stay 🥾 Local walks or valley hikes upon request ❤️ Personalized care based on your dog’s personality, habits, and needs My goal is simple: to make your dog feel comfortable, cared for, and at home while you’re away. Before Booking We’ll start with a quick conversation about your dog’s temperament, routine, exercise needs, and anything else that will help me provide the best care. If it feels like a good fit, we’ll schedule a meet & greet so your pup can meet me, explore the space, and get comfortable before their stay. Rates Rates are tailored to your dog’s individual needs, routine, and level of care. For repeat clients, we can establish a consistent rate that works comfortably for both of us. Every dog is different. Every stay is personalized. Dedicated Full-Time Dog Care When your dog stays with me, they’re never just left alone. Caring for dogs is my full-time job, and I provide around-the-clock supervision. Other than a brief trip for essentials, your pup has my full attention day and night. Because every dog has different needs, rates may vary. Some pups require more time, energy, or structure, and in those cases the rate is adjusted to reflect the additional supervision or management needed to keep them safe and comfortable. This ensures every dog receives the right level of care — and gives you the confidence that your furry friend is being looked after as if they were my own. Safe & Secure Environment My home has a fully fenced backyard, built and maintained with safety in mind. After raising two strong alpha dogs here for 17 years, I made sure the fencing is secure and reliable. Dogs always get supervised time outside — I never just leave them unattended in the yard.

About: Hello friends , I’ve walked dogs from the Denver metro area and Los Angeles area. Over 200 miles done I’ve seen all types of dogs and have always got the job done ! Any special request lmk ! See you soon! I do work part time in some mornings but I could definitely use night walks and weekends! Love to do the walks full time possibly! I have a open house and a yard. No fence but plenty of areas to walk. If I’m in the clients home I’ll keep my attention towards the dog and whatever needs the dog may want/need! Also I’ll pay attention to notes of the profiles!

About: I have a fenced yard with no pets or children that live at home. I have been taking care of animals since I was a young boy. I find animals to possess the purest form of unconditional love and kindness… I have always been the go to pet sitter for family and friends…. I love animals with all my heart:)❤️… I work from home for myself with a very flexible schedule. I have a lot of time to devote to caring for other peoples beloved pets… There is plenty of space to play in fenced back yard and a pet safe home. I love taking frequent walks and hikes. I’m okay with sharing my furniture with pets, however, I am flexible with pet owners wishes Because I am self employed and work from home with a flexible schedule I am able to focus my time on your fur babies. I like to give them all the exercise they require to be able to relax with no anxiety. Although I have a home with a fenced yard, I never leave pets unattended. I do not have any children living at home and I don’t have any pets which alleviates any aggression concerns. I would like to be your pet’s favorite uncle:)💚

About: I’ve watched and have cared for all types of dogs and cats, it’s something I truly adore doing. I have the most experience with senior Cat/Dog care. I’m currently going to school online, which leads to my availability being pretty open! I’m flexible when it comes to scheduling since I’m not working at the moment! I’m incredibly excited to provide a safe and welcoming service when it comes to taking care of your pets. I never leave a client’s home without securing the premise and making sure the pet is happy and secure!

About: I've been working with animals from a young age, more specifically dogs and cats. Both my dog and my cat made it well into their senior years and both of them required medications, that being said I am more than willing to provide each and every pet with their needs. I'm very familiar with bathing animals as well so if that were ever a need it could be done. One of my most recent jobs was in a Boarding Center and I loved working there, it definitely taught me a lot! I'd love to work with animals full time like I used to and I'm hoping I'll have that opportunity on Rover, Dogs make the world better! I love spending time with pets both indoors and outdoors. I know some dogs like to play inside while others would prefer to play outside. I'd love for all pet parents to let me know what their comfortable with, and if taking their dog to a dog park is something they do frequently I'd love to do the same.

“Ryan is a wonderful dog walker! He came for a meet & greet and was very interested in understanding everything about Daisy. He was punctual for the walks and took care to give Daisy a pleasant walk. I’d have him back again and definitely recommend him!”

Rebecca S.

About: I love playing with cats and dogs. I have no problems having to spend any extra time with animals. I am up to having fun for a long time or just feed and walk your animal. I love cats like crazy but also a dog lover. Love fur babies. I am up at 7am every morning so starting my more care and duties is always organized. I work a job at noon for 4 days out of the week then that I'm free. The way I take care pets in my home or in the client's home is simply making sure that the pet is always feeling loved and having its favorite toys or food and a nearby area.

“Kimberly was really flexible with us as we moved the times around on her at the last minute. We were able to get a long trail run in and knew the dogs were taken care of. Thanks!”

About: I have a dog of my own and grew up with lots of different pets. I am always the one to watch my friends dogs. I work from home so I have the ability to give your pup my full attention. I usually like to walk the dogs atleast 3-4 times daily- before work, on my lunch, after work and in the evening. I live in an apartment but love taking the pups over to cheeseman park down the street for long walks and fresh air. I work from home so I have total flexibility to walk dogs any time and give them attention when needed.

About: Throughout my life I have taken care of my own and partner's pets. As a 'ski bum' I have often taken care of roommate's as if they were my own...including one instance when they were absent/unavailable to authorize expensive care for an elderly dog (Dakota, RIP) so I layed with him and listened to his heart stopped beating and he took his last breath and stayed by his side while the sun came up and his owner/my roommate returned 4 hours afterwards. I also am the one that shows up to feed, water, and walk assuming responsibilities for pets as if they were my own. I am currently picking up shifts as a freelancer in the service industry so I am able to have a flexible schedule as well as am able to be available when most people are working...i.e. midday I am very attuned to the animal's personal needs, schedule, routines, etc and consider current and upcoming weather patterns in order to insure they are properly taken care of

About: I have loved dogs my entire life! Growing up we always had a family dog and getting my dog 5 years ago was the best thing ever. A teacher by day but a lovely dog cuddler by night! Let me know what you need for your furry friend and I’ll make it happen! I am a teacher so my summer availability is wide open. I am around 24/7 and looking forward to spending my summer playing with your best friend! Our amazing backyard has the most room for zoomies and directly behind my house is a nice sized city park. I will look after your dog with the utmost care, attention to detail, and love!
