Dog Walking Highland

About: Just as no two people are alike, every animal needs tailored care and attention. Whether your pet is a puppy needing an active walk or a senior cat who prefers quiet companionship, my goal is to create a reliable environment where they feel safe and seen. I operate with a flexible daily schedule, making me available for consistent midday walks, last minute drop ins, or multi-visit vacation requests here in the LoHi/Highland area. I treat the process of meeting an animal for the first time with immense respect. During our initial meet & greet, I focus on establishing a baseline they can trust. My Experience: • Medical Care: Competent in administering various types of medications (oral, topical, etc). • All-Weather Walks: Ready to provide structured, safe exercise around your local neighborhood or parks. • Basic Grooming: Happy to assist with brushing, bathing, or wiping down paws. • Cats & Dogs: Grew up surrounded by both cats and dogs, giving me a deep understanding of their boundaries and body language. I look forward to meeting you and your pet to build a lasting routine they can count on. I have a flexible schedule and can visit your home during the day or night. Let me know what you need, and we can work something out. My priority is to maintain a secure environment by respecting your household rules and adhering to your specific instructions. I actively monitor your pet’s emotional cues and body language, finding natural moments to gain their trust, whether through play or calm moments. For pets requiring extra attention, such as aging seniors, anxious rescues, or pets recovering from illness, I ensure their care is meticulous and empathetic. I accommodate slow walks, frequent bathroom breaks, and specific medication schedules. As a lifelong pet owner, I have navigated unexpected medical emergencies with both my own and other people's animals. In these moments, I act urgently, logically, and calmly. My Safety Commitments: • Door Darting: I always block the door frame with my body when entering or exiting to prevent door darting. • Gear Checks: I verify that all collars, harnesses, and leashes are properly fitted and secure before stepping outside. • Distraction-Free Walking: My phone is only used to log your Rover Card or take photos; my eyes remain on your dog and the surrounding environment. • Local Vet: I will verify your preferred vet location during our initial meet & greet. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and establishing a routine both of you can count on.

“Jonathan was super easy to communicate with and meet with in coordinating dog walks with our pups. We appreciate his dedication and passion for taking care our dogs!”

“Excellent caretaker for my fur baby. Linda is flexible with scheduling, prompt with responding and professional. Linda sends a picture of my dog from every walk and gives an update on how he is doing. This is most helpful and puts my worries at ease.”

“Lauren is absolutely amazing. My two dogs are at very different stages of life—one is 12 years old and the other is only 12 weeks old—and she is incredibly patient and attentive with both of them. She understands their different needs and gives each one the love and care they deserve. Lauren is always prompt, communicates well, and gives me complete peace of mind when I'm away. It's clear that she treats every pet as if they were her own. I couldn't recommend her more highly and will continue to hire her whenever I need pet care. ❤️🐾”

“Chantel was fabulous! This was our first time leaving Roxie in our new home in Denver and we felt very comfortable leaving her in Chantel's care! We were out of the country and greatly appreciated the updates she sent us with pictures of our little doggie- Roxie looked very comfortable and happy on all her walks :) We would definitely recommend her and would certainly hire her again! Thanks again, Chantel!!”

About: My name is Kim and I have three amazing animals that I love! Sora is a 6 year old tortie cat who loves to eat and play, Milo is a 5 year old standard poodle, who is a snuggle bug and Gene is my 3 year old baby who is also a standard poodle. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your animals in a stranger’s care and I want to reassure all families that your pet’s care is all I care about. I will give your pets the love they need while you are away from home. I can take care of any feeding schedules or medications needed. I will be sure to give them all the playtime that I can while visiting and make sure they’re barking for more when it’s time for me to leave! I look forward to helping! I work from home with a very flexible schedule and can visit morning, afternoon and night. (Morning visits start as early as 9:30 AM and night visits go as late as 9 PM) Please be sure to give instructions on how you would like your visits to go. Please keep in mind that because of my sporadic work schedule, I cannot commit to reoccurring weekly visits. I am more than happy to hang out with your pup or kitty. I love walks in the neighborhood and can feed and play at home. If we are unable to plan a meet and greet, I will bring my husband with me to visits. Thank you for understanding!

“Samantha took great care of Poppy and we really appreciate her coming over and walking poppy, letting her run around outside and giving her treats”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s individual personality. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I’m happy to tailor walks, playtime, and care to what makes your pet happiest. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pet like they’re my own! Plus, you can absolutely expect plenty of updates and cute pictures while they’re with me! And treats if allowed of course :) BACKGROUND CHECK FRIENDLY I work remotely from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or house sitting. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention rather than leaving them alone for long stretches, and I’m happy to work around their normal routine as much as possible. I can always work on the go and will communicate my meeting schedule with you, so you know exactly what periods of the day I’ll need to be focused on work. Outside of those times, my schedule is very flexible, so I can easily accommodate walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention. All photos in my gallery are friends and family dogs that I care for regularly. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their feeding, walking, and potty routine consistent, and make sure they’re comfortable in my care. I live in an apartment, so pets staying with me will get regular walks and outdoor breaks. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. I take this more seriously than anything! Your pet will become part of my family and I will always put their needs and safety first. All photos in my gallery are friends and family dogs that I care for regularly.

“Iliana is amazing! Hallie warmed up to her after one day and she is always very happy when we get home. I highly recommend Iliana. She is very loving and caring and takes excellent care of Hallie. We look forward to continue using Iliana for dog walking services.”

“Juliana did an amazing job! She was thorough and really followed my pups’ pace and needs. She sent pics, which I really appreciated! My boys loved her, and I would recommend Juliana to anyone. Thank you so much!”

“Crystal took excellent care of our 11 week old puppy, helping us as we needed a walker last minute. She went above and beyond to meet our pups who were naturally drawn to Crystal. She is an excellent communicator, reliable, and incredibly friendly with our dogs. I would not hesitate to recommend Crystal’s services for anyone looking for a trustworthy individual who will take superb care of your pet.”

About: Hi, I’m Natalie! I love animals and have always been my friends’ and neighbors’ go-to petsitter. I hope to have another dog of my own when the time is right, but in the meantime I have lots of love and attention to give to your pet ◡̈ I have experience working with dogs of all temperaments, and will always do my best to meet their needs accordingly. I am as happy to go on a leisurely walk with a mellow dog as I am to tire out a dog with endless energy. I am very respectful and considerate of other people’s homes. Having had pets of my own, I understand what it’s like to be away from them and always do my best to make them feel safe and loved. I also love sending pictures and videos to clients so they can feel at peace knowing their pets are safe and happy :)
