Dog Walkers in Howard, CO

About: I have a passion for pets and will truly care for and love your fur baby (ies) as if they were my own. Enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I have 15+ years of experience, including sitting for puppies and senior pets, and can provide excellent references. I am available for sitting, walking, drop in visits, doggy day care. I usually care for one pet at a time, unless you and your pup are OK with my sitting another at the same time. I'd prefer watching your dog/cat in the comfort of your home, but can also sit for them in my pet friendly apartment. I have cared for a dog and cat for a month and for two dogs for two weeks in the owners home and have been told I've left their home cleaner than when they left. ***I'll be in/near Salida, CO and available Aug 14-Aug 24....and Sept 2-through Sept. 18th (and hopefully returning soon thereafter) I'm available in/near Bay Ridge Brooklyn (Bensonhurst, Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn Heights, Bay Ridge, Williamsburg Brooklyn and other areas) Thank you for considering me. I look forward to building a relationship of trust with both you and your pet.😊🐾🐈🐶 I work remotely, so I can give extra attention, and have great flexibility. We can coordinate a schedule that works best for you. Care includes walking, playing with, feeding, and administering any medications, etc. I listen closely to your needs and how you care for your dog/cat and follow suit. If I care for them in my home, I make sure they feel as comfortable as they are in yours. I also have many dog parks in my neighborhood and can take them on walks, etc.

About: I have personally owned dogs as long as I can remember. From Rottweilers to Chihuahuas. I have dog sat numerous times, between boarding at my house and house sitting at a client’s home. I’m a true dog-lover at heart. I love dogs in all shapes and sizes. They are the most loving and most loyal. They really are better than most people! Lol. I have a sweet, energetic, laid-back, one and a half year old mini poodle. I also have a 3 year old hedgehog, but since he’s nocturnal and likes to keep to himself, pets don’t interact with him. He’s caged in my room and will be out of the way. I also have experience in taking care of senior dogs including: administering meds, feeding picky eaters, helping with potty breaks, helping with walks, etc. I have personally trained all of the dogs that I have owned. I have lots of puppy experience and don’t believe in “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” as I have also trained older dogs that I have rescued. I currently work from home and I am usually off by late afternoon/early evening. I can be home with your baby. We can play and take as many potty breaks as needed. I also don’t work on the weekends and like to fill my weekends up with fun activities! I have a fenced in backyard and a safe neighborhood to go on walks. Your doggo would have complete freedom of the house (as long as I’m home, of course). Doggies are allowed on the furniture and allowed to sleep with me. If they are crate trained, of course that’s okay too.

“Bru had the BEST time!!!! Thank you so much!”

“Miranda was a puppy-saver! We had a last-minute mid-day walking request and she showed up and took our shy girl on a walk, gave us an update, and sent pictures/videos.”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets for many years now. My kids now share that experience and love running around with energetic puppies and cuddling with the older animals. I currently work full time but am available on the weekends, holidays, and certain weekdays. We go on walks and visit the dog park daily. I have a big fenced in backyard and 1 fur baby that loves making friends and playing with other dogs. We enjoy games of fetch and tug-o-war and do light training.

“Shawna's daughter took the dogs for a walk and it was great! She did well with the dogs and I enjoyed meeting her. Will ask for their help again.”

“Jamie is the best! We come up to Tahoe regularly and every time she is up for walking our pup without question. Even made arrangements for a walk within 2 hours, saving the day for us while we were on the slopes. She lets the pup run free which tires her out and we all know that a tired pup is a good pup :)”
