“Allison was sooo good and sweet to my baby! 10/10 recommend. She sent me photos and videos of him and spent time with him when she didn’t have to. Thank you and you are officially a repeat in my books! Thank you!!!”

“Larry did a great job with Ellie. He was attentive to her needs and communicated along the way. I’m excited to have Larry as my new walker and seems to be a great fit. I would recommend Larry for anyone needing a dog walker for their fur child.”

About: I love all and any kind of animals big or small from kittens and puppy’s to large cows and horses I even good with reptiles have had more animals to care of personally medical and non medical I do have 3 dogs, bunny’s as well as turtles so they get care in the morning as well as evening and all day as needed I have a fenced yard and can have animals inside or out and can be crated if needed if can would love to snuggle with or go for walks or exercise then if needed

About: With years of diverse pet care experience, I know how much trust and routine matter — and of course, a good tail wag or purr, too. I’ve been caring for pets like they’re family since I was young, and I always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I’ll also make sure your home stays just the way you left it — plants watered, things tidy, and pets happy. I’m flexible with days and hours. I’m currently a college student, however I only have class a couple times a week. We can work something out! With a calm, caring approach, I keep pets comfy, routines intact, and homes secure. Some things I find important are feeding, walking, playtime, plant watering, and cleaning — I care for your pets and your home like they’re my own while you’re away!

“Rachel is great! She’s understanding with our rescue pup with some behavioral issues and quick to respond to bookings. A great regular walker!”

“Maggie was absolutely amazing! If I could give her 6 stars I would. From the moment we met her we could tell how caring she was and how much she loves animals. She was so good with our little chihuahua and was amazing about sending updates with photos and videos. We are so thankful we found Maggie and hope to work with her again in the future. If you are looking for someone to take good care of your fur baby, look no further! Maggie is hands down the best!❤️”

“Tanya is so good with Winston and extremely reliable! She’s very easy to work with and it’s clear that she’s a dog lover. You can trust your fur baby with Tanya :)”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. We had some family friends that always brought their dogs over and I took care of them. I knew a lot of people that traveled for work were just traveled in general and I would either have their dog at my house or I would go over there and I would take care of their dogs. I’m currently going to only be doing mornings from 7 AM to 1 PM this will be for Monday thru Friday. This would be a perfect time frame, I’m a mother and had to work around that schedule. I have a fence. I have a pitbull that is not a normal pitbull. He is very sweet very loving and very caring. He’s 8 years old and loves to climb 10 foot fences, and loves lizards and squirrel. I always make sure to take my dog on rides and get him his own little pup cup! ❤️

“Logan was great! I have three dogs who can be a handful and a large dog who gets nervous around new people, but Logan handled them so well and my dogs all came back happy and tired.”

“Thank you, Sydney. I appreciate meeting you in advance, your punctuality, and your excellent communication. Henry enjoyed his walk.”

About: I am a recent graduate from Colorado State University majoring in Animal Sciences and minoring in Zoology. During my time completing my undergrad I have had many opportunities taking care of dogs and cats for clients up in Northern Colorado. I am very detail oriented and attentive to my care for your fur babies. I also am known to be a great dog walker and have had some experience handling medication for cats and dogs. I am currently looking for work right now but I have a lot of time to be able to care for your animals as you are busy during the day and providing them company! I currently am living in an apartment so I can’t provide boarding services but I do have reliable transportation that’ll allow me to visit homes and check up on your animals during the day!

“Sam is awesome!! She took great care of my pups, was very communicative and her photos can’t be beat! I would absolutely recommend her and look forward to working with her again.”

About: I've had all sorts of pets my entire life, but almost always at least one dog. I spent years volunteering at a pet store in high school. I also have a degree in Biology, focusing on animal behavior and wildlife science. I spent a great year after college volunteering at a dog rescue. I have a very flexible work-from-home job. I have one set meeting everyday, but am almost always available to step out and take care of anything that I need to. I have a fenced yard with a doggy door. I have two dogs with very different personalities; one is happy and playful, the other is older and just likes to relax. They've made me good at meeting different pets' needs. I always try to make them feel happy, safe, and loved!

About: I grew up with dogs and had cats as pets as an adult. I love both dogs and cats (and all animals) but have the most experience with these two. I can do dog walks, grooming for both dogs and cats, drop ins for feeding, bathroom and any other needs, overnight stays and longer term stays if needed! Please note: I'm happy to travel for meet & greets and bookings, but for locations more than 15 miles from me will include a travel fee due to distance and fuel costs. Please message prior to booking if you are outside this range. Thanks for understanding - it helps me keep providing reliable care for clients. Same-day requests may also incur an additional fee depending on availability. *Lastly* if you see any dates on my calendar that looked blocked off (especially if they're highlighted in yellow) you can still reach out to see if you're close enough for me to do drop in visits! Dates highlighted in yellow just mean I have another booking but I'm still able to fit in drop in visits! 😊 I work remotely so I'm more flexible, esp if I'm doing any daytime or overnight stays. I work 7 am-4 pm M-F and can easily step away from my job as needed. I'm gentle, safe, reliable, intuitive and quick to pick up on how animals are feeling. I also take into consideration any special needs animals may have.

“Cassidy is great. She walks my hyper puppy 3 times a week & my puppy really looks forward to seeing her each time. She is very loving, caring & punctual.”

About: Wonderland Dog Resort and Spa is a Doggy Vacation Destination! (Find our NEW page on Facebook) We LOVE dogs in this home! All breeds, all sizes, all ages and ESPECIALLY senior dogs! I have been training, walking, grooming, feeding, and otherwise raising four-legged babies for 32 years. I've cared for many types of dogs with different abilities and special care needs including Duke, a senior golden retriever with severe allergies, a hernia, arthritis, and bone cancer- an energetic 175lb. Yellow lab named Kato, who had search and rescue training best used to deroot small trees during fetch, and to locate his favorite tug-rope for endless hours of training reinforcement, known to him only as "playtime", -a frail teddybear rescue named Chug, with debilitating anxiety and canine behavioral disorder, requiring medication- and Xeno, a husky variety, who requires constant exercise and attention, to name a few. Good pet care comes from recognizing each animal as an individual with needs and then meeting those needs. There is no such thing as a bad dog. Only humans whom don't understand animal cues and how to effectively communicate with them. My goal is to build a relationship with each pet and their families to not only offer needed boarding and walking services, but to support their personal or medical needs and training journey as well. In my home we focus on learning through fun and positive reinforcement for good behavior. Dogs can expect treats for following commands, defecating or urinating outside, and for a reward after bathing or grooming, with owner consent. Dogs requiring medication are welcome, and again will be given a treat for taking meds, with owner consent. Treats are always provided free of charge and you are welcome to supply your own if your dog has dietary restrictions. What to expect: All visiting dogs who are ambulatory are walked a minimum every 2-3 hours and offered playtime in our shaded grass yard for 30-45 minutes at a time 2-3 times a day, unless it is unsafe to do so due to weather. When visiting you, I strive to closely follow your itinerary when provided, or provide well rounded care without instruction through walks, playtime with toys, obedience training, and affection. When not out enjoying activites, visiting dogs will be in an air-conditioned home with access to dog-beds and toys, and unless requested, are not discouraged from going on furniture. There will be other dogs present, since we have 2 very friendly registered service dogs of our own. If we come to you we do not bring our dogs unless requested to do so. Dogs will interact and train with our child to encourage behavioral and training growth in a distracting atmosphere. All dogs will have a safe environment and compassionate care while their humans are away. We will love your fur-babies like they are our own loved ones, every single time, no matter the challenges they face. Dogs dietary and medical needs are my top priority. All feeding and medication schedules will be followed with the strictest adherence. Visiting dogs not on dietary restrictions have unregulated access to food and water while boarding, unless requested otherwise. In home feedings will be as scheduled by client but water will always be checked/changed/filled. Positive reinforcement is our method. We have 2 registered service dogs of our own and will happily assist your training journey. Dogs will be rewarded with treats, unless otherwise requested, any time they go potty outside, follow commands, take meds, bathe, or otherwise complete a task appropriately. All dogs have access to toys, beds, and a crate during boarding. When at my home, leashes are required outdoors, except when we visit the dog park. When visiting your home my goal is to make that visit the highlight of your dogs life! I strive to play with all pets in my care. If your dogs do not take interest in toys, as has been my experience that not all do, that time is spent with cuddles, belly rubs, and command response training, in addition to the scheduled walk or potty break. I make sure the pet feels quality time was spent with them by someone who came just to see them and values their importance in the family. When at my home, dogs are allowed to move freely throughout the house. We have laminate floors that are easy on allergies and make accidents easy to clean up. We keep our home quite cool, with central air, which is great for northern breeds, and we offer plenty of warm soft places to curl up, otherwise. Your pets will be treated like a member of our family. We love animals and want them to have the happiest day of their lives whether they visit us or we come to them. Bathing services offered for non-aggressive pups. Wonderland Dog Resort is in operation 24 hours a day, over 350 days of the year, offering both holiday and extended stay care and is my full-time career, as the owner and operator. Mommy and daddy know best! We follow all itineraries provided and are extremely diligent about following medication regimens, dietary restrictions, and other special needs. We specialize in (but are not limited to) Special Needs dogs. The safety of our pups is our number one concern! We also work with them on command response training to help ensure future safety after they leave. Pet patents recieve photo and video updates an the end of every day. Dogs can expect lots of pets, treats, fetch, tug, gentle brushings, walks, car rides, snuggles, trips to the dog park, and lots of socialization! All dogs are kept on slip-resistant leashes at all times, when not at the dog park. We go out for potties every 1.5-2 hours, walk every 4 hours, and go to the dog park nightly. Dogs socialize under close supervision and are trained on proper socialization. Wonderland is set-up for comfort. Dogs are allowed on furniture and most are able to sleep in our bed with us or are welcome to chose from the large selection of crates, beds, pillows, and blankets. Dog toys are rotated every few days to keep playtime interesting. We keep pups engaged and active and provide companionship to timid and anxious dogs, who may be less playful or experiencing their first time away from home.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both puppies and senior pets, making me adaptable to different needs. I’m skilled with crate training, potty training, and teaching basic commands. I also care for my cat, giving me experience with a variety of pet temperaments. What sets me apart is my patient, positive-reinforcement approach, ensuring your pets feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s energetic playtime, puppy training, or gentle care for seniors, I’m here to provide a stress-free, loving environment for your furry family members! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I prioritize flexibility and availability. I am currently taking a break from my career and have no work commitments at this time. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I have a pet-friendly space free from hazards, with secure areas for play and relaxation. For overnight stays or extended visits, I ensure that all necessary supplies—such as food, toys, and bedding—are provided, along with regular routines to minimize stress. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize their comfort and security by following your guidelines and routines closely. I ensure that doors and windows are secured, and I’m attentive to your pet’s needs, providing regular check-ins, exercise, and playtime. I also maintain a clean environment, including thorough litter box cleaning and sanitizing any areas your pet frequents. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities!

About: Hey there. I have always been an animal lover, having pets since a young age. I had a dog of my own for 15 years until he passed. I now have one dog and one cat who have a great life that I’m honestly jealous of! I would love to watch your pets and take care of them while you’re away. As far as boarding, please be sure your pet is comfortable with other dogs and cats. My animals are very friendly and accepting of any other animals I have brought into my house. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet(s)! I work third shift, so I am home all day. If you are interested in boarding, we can discuss my schedule in more detail to see if it’s a good fit. If you are interested in day care, I would be home all day with them! Your pet will always get plenty of attention. If I’m boarding, they will get lots of playtime with my dog both in my fenced backyard and inside.

About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, and reptiles for the last 12 years! I myself have 2 dogs and 1 cat and will care for your pets as I do my own. I have worked with puppies, kittens, as well as various medical needs. I currently work temporary jobs from home. So I can certainly work with your schedule! I am available Monday- Saturday mornings, afternoons, and nights. As well as Sunday mornings and nights. I offer dog walks and drop-in visits! I am able to work with your instructions on caring for your pet! I have had animals that need to be walked, or can only get outside time in their yard. I have cared for pets on bed rest with stitches, as well as having to administer medications throughout the day.

“Thanks for walking Atlas and Oscar. It’s okay that Oscar didn’t cooperate every day. It’s a good idea for you to go by and see the dogs the day before.”
