Dog Walking Idaho Springs

About: Hi! I’m Laura, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up on a small farm where I helped care for horses, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, and just about every furry friend you can imagine. That experience taught me how to be patient, attentive, and comfortable with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and am now a proud pet mom to my two cats, Lulu and Loki, and my dog, Odella. I understand how much our pets mean to us because mine are truly part of my family, and I’ll treat yours with the same love and care. I work remotely from my home in Golden, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, medications (if needed), and plenty of companionship. I love spending time outdoors and am always happy to take active dogs on long walks or adventures that match their comfort and energy level. For pets who prefer a slower pace, I’m just as happy to provide cuddles, enrichment, and a calm, reassuring presence at home. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I work remotely from home in Golden, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra companionship, I’m happy to accommodate their routine whenever possible. I strive to be as flexible as I can to meet you and your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if requested and I’m comfortable administering them), and any other special care your pet needs. I work remotely from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable visits throughout the day. I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety by using secure leashes and harnesses on walks, respecting your home, and making sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the same love and attention I’d give my own pets.

“Don always takes great care of my girl and I truly appreciate someone to walk my dog and care for her as much as I do. Xena is a sweet girl and I truly appreciate Don be as equally sweet to her and patient with her.”

About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember — I grew up with dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, even reptiles—and owned my own Cavalier King Charles Spaniel/Chihuahua mix. That kind of history means I don’t need time to learn how to read animals; I already know. I petsat and am comfortable with dogs with sensitive needs too. Recently, I pet sat 3 dogs and 2 bunnies over 9 days. Whatever your dog needs — calm reassurance or an energetic playmate — I show up the same way every time: nurturing, attentive, and reliable. I am currently working remote with my marketing background, part-time on my own schedule, so I intentionally stay very flexible seven days per week for petsitting and housesitting. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first, always. I keep a close eye on body language and energy levels so I can adjust to what each needs in the moment — whether that means quiet reassurance for a nervous pup or an active outlet for a high-energy one. I follow feeding schedules, routines, and any care instructions exactly as given, and I’m attentive to details that keep a dog feeling secure in a new environment. You can trust that your dog is in steady, capable hands from drop-off to pickup.

About: Hi there, my name is Emma! I'm a part-time pet care professional with over five year of experience working in dog daycare and boarding services. Whether your dog needs playtime, structured walks, or just some loving company while you're away, I provide a safe environment tailored each pup's personality and needs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and special requirements (including medications and injections), and have worked with senior dogs to high-energy breeds. My goal is always to keep your furry friend happy, healthy, and loved while you're away. I work from home full-time and am available all week even during working hours. If there is a conflict, I will let you know in advance. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In your home, I keep things consistent: following feeding schedules, walk routines, playtime, and any training or behavioral guidelines you have in place. I also make sure your pet gets plenty of companionship, enrichment, and a calm, safe environment while you’re away.

“Ella is literally the best! Sometimes it’s hard for me to trust other walkers with my pup because Ella is so great with her. She’s communicative and patient and truly treats your dog just like her own.”

About: I grew up with cats and now am a very proud blue heeler-boco mix parent. I am always happier if there is an animal in the room :) I love caring for, learning about, and working with all animals. I look forward to learning about what makes your pet special and unique. I’m a teacher off for the summer, so have a flexible schedule to be able to help out with pet care. Hanging out with some new pet friends pets is always a great day! We live in Central City, so comfortable with mountain properties. I understand my job as learning your pet’s routine in order to offer as much consistency (and love/enrichment in your absence) as possible. I am here to respect your rules, expectations, and “how it’s done” when it comes to caring for your pet in your home.

About: Hi! I’m Josie. First thing to know about me- My love for dogs and cats is beyond. One thing that consistently makes my day is spoiling animals. I enjoy staying fit so running, jogging or hiking with dogs is even better - it keeps me going! I Have 10 years experience in pet sitting, dog walking, and training, as well as working in boarding/daycare facilities. I always look forward to building a trusting relationship and continuing care for your fury family member(s) whenever you may need it. I prefer interviewing before hand so I can get to know you and your pet(s), and, of course, so that you feel can comfortable with me. I am very flexible with my schedule and reliable all around. Love for your pets will always be a top priority of mine- that’s a given. This is something that excites me, as animal rights/connection is one of my greatest (if not the greatest) passions. Please contact me and you can expect a quick reply! Pet care will be and always is my first priority. Besides this, I’m currently working a separate very part-time job and in college online until the end of summer- I am very open and available as of now. No matter the location, I care for all animals the same. As far as what I can do for your family (as of now), I am available to come care for your pets at your home, where I’ll follow any instructions and precautions you provide just as I would my own. I am available to come take your baby(babies) on walks when you may need, feedings, or just some love in your absence, of course!!

“Everything was perfect!”

“Hailey takes great care of Mowgli when I am away and send lots of pictures and updates to let me know he’s happy and well! Would recommend to anyone needing pet care services.”

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life. Ever since I was a little girl I would bring home injured or stray animals to care for. I've raised an assortment of pets from parakeets, cats, fish, bunnies, chickens, ducks, and many dogs. Our dogs are like our children to us. It's our goal to provide the very best life we could possibly give them with lots of love, structure, exercise, a good healthy diet, and medical attention when required. Any animal that comes in our presence will experience the same treatment. I work full-time remotely. While we don't have a yard per se, we live in the mountains bumped up against BLM land with lots of hiking trails and areas to walk. Our dogs get exercised daily on the trails surrounding our home. With my at-home work schedule, I have the flexibility to take walks for my breaks and lunch hour and to get up and take care of things as needed through out the day. We get up early and go outside immediately so our dogs can relieve themselves then we go in and have breakfast. After breakfast, I start work while the dogs tend to relax on the bed behind me. I will take them out to potty again on my first break then on my lunch hour, we go for a walk through the forest behind the house. They get another potty break on my second break and then another short walk after I sign out of work for the day in the evening time. We free-feed our dogs but if we have other dogs in the house we will adjust the feeding and schedule to the visiting dog(s). We are normally in bed around 10 pm and our dogs are fully on our schedule for sleeping. If we need to step out for a bit, our dogs are good being left alone in the house but we do have a crate if needed for dogs that aren't good being left alone.

About: I come from an animal loving family and have had a wide range of pets my entire life. From dogs, to cats, to fish, and rats! We always had some sort of pet at all times and I always had a hand in caring for them all. I recently moved to the Denver area and am amazed at the amount of people who own a dog! Although I am too busy to own one myself, I am happy to care for anyone’s pet when needed! I work full time from 8 - 5 so I am available for pet care before or after work and on the weekends! I also work remotely on Fridays and am available for check ins and walks on my lunch break! Since I am renting an apartment, I am not allowed to care for pets in my own residence but I am willing to do whatever care is necessary at your pets home!

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my attention to detail and experience in specialized care. Whether it's skillfully administering medications or ensuring litter boxes are sparkling clean, I take pride in going the extra mile to keep cats healthy and happy. My lifelong dedication to understanding feline behavior means I know how to cater to htheir quirks and make them feel comfortable and loved. I work Monday-Friday 8-5 so I am able to do check ins before work and evenings. I am available on weekends all day. Special schedules are accepted too In your home, I ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable by maintaining their routine and showering them with attention. From feeding and playtime to cleaning up and administering medications if needed, I handle every detail with care and dedication.

About: I’ve taken care of kids and animals my whole life because I love providing love and care to all living things! I enjoy taking pets on walks, engaging them with their toys, and of course giving them some good pats and scratches :) I work remotely and have the flexibility in my schedule to match the routines you keep with your fur babies. Taking a break from work to go on a walk, play fetch, or give some pats & scratches is my favorite! Any pet in my care will be getting the VIP treatment where attention, playtime, and affection are concerned. I used to be a teacher, and from my time managing classes of over 35 middle schoolers and their art supplies, I am a very flexible, detail oriented person, who follows instructions closely which would translate well into specific care needs for any pet. You tell me what your pet needs and I will make it happen at a high quality!

“Jackson was fantastic. We have two large German Shepherds, that can be dog aggressive on walks, and he handled them with ease. He was easy to communicate with; we will definitely be hiring him again. Thank you, thank you!”

About: I grew up around dogs. At just 10 years old, my mom involved me in dog sitting for a neighbor. I worked for her until I turned 18, cleaning kennels, walking the dogs, and dog sitting when she traveled. During college and afterward, I managed a dog care and senior dog shelter, dedicating my time to caring for the dogs. After work, I would walk the shelter dogs. I have two rescue dogs of my own and simply love being around animals. I love being around animals. I'm currently in between jobs and seeking new opportunities, but in the meantime, I would love to spend some quality time with animals. It really helps bring joy and comfort to my days. I live in the beautiful mountains with my two rescue dogs, who bring so much joy to my life. If the pet is staying at its home, it will enjoy cuddles and plenty of treats.

“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!!”

About: I have three dogs of my own two of those being high energy. Additionally I spent some time in the veterinary field. My brother has had me dog sit for him on several occasions. I’m currently working extremely part time so I am available most mornings and afternoons. I am available most weekends as well and sometimes for overnight sits. I will take care of your fur babies as if they were my own. I love being outdoors so several walks per day is no issue.
