Dog Walking Lafayette

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and apparently they've had one for me too. Hi, my name is Sarah and I live in the Boulder area. I’ve been a lifelong pet lover and have had the pleasure of sharing my life with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, birds, and even livestock. Unfortunately, I recently became petless after my old girl passed away. This has left my love for pets homeless and I would love nothing more than to give it all to your babies. Cuddles, belly rubs, a good hike, maybe a little mud and a bath and of course some yummy treats, I’m here for it all! Whether your pet is a professional couch potato, an enthusiastic adventure buddy or just needs a little extra TLC, I have the experience and enough love to keep up with them. I’m currently working as part of a wildlife rehabilitation internship. I’m still in the first stage, so I only need to be there about 20 hours a week, which gives me lots of flexibility. This means I can work my internship schedule around what your pet needs! Early morning feedings? Done. Middle of the night potty breaks? Done. Need a midday nap buddy? Done. I’m open to both weekdays and weekends and with 24 hours’ notice, I can usually adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Your pet’s routine is important and I’m happy to work around it whenever I can! My first priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible because I know that consistency can make a big difference when their favorite person isn’t around. This all starts with the bond I work to form with them from the moment I become the stranger invading their territory. I’m not just there to feed, walk and clean up messes. I’m there to make sure your pet doesn’t feel scared, abandoned or stressed while you’re away. I want you to be able to leave knowing that they’re not just being looked after, they’re being loved. That peace of mind for you also comes from my close attention to detail. No door will be left open. No change in behavior shall go unnoticed. No accident will be left unattended and no animal shall be shamed. I won’t just keep your pets alive. I’ll make sure they feel safe, secure and cared for, with lots of stories for you to come home to while you’re out creating your own memories.

About: I have always been somewhat of a dog whisperer. Love getting to know each of their personalities and learning their routines, coming down to their level gain trust and form a relationship. I enjoying getting outside and making sure they can get their exercise. I’m a cellist, so most of my days are spent practicing and going to rehearsals/teaching in the larger Boulder area. Most of my mornings are very free. I love going on walks with dogs, taking them to the dog park and socializing them with other dogs, using positive reinforcement to form and maintain good habits and everything in between. Care in your home is also important to me. I want to make sure you can have piece of mind that not only will you pet be taken care of but your home as well.

About: Lifelong animal lover providing attentive care in a calm home tailored to your dog’s routine. Over the years, I’ve volunteered with rescues, completed dozens of sits, and navigated every stage from puppyhood to golden senior years. After recently losing our beloved rescue pup of ten years, we've opened our home on Rover as a way to pour that same devotion into caring for other dogs. Having guided senior dogs through their final seasons, I am very comfortable managing gentle routines, oral medications, mobility support, and tender pacing. In our home, your dog receives a dedicated two-person care team. My husband brings past experience from volunteering at animal shelters and working with livestock on a ranch. What to expect: •Tailored Days: Upbeat play or quiet couch snuggles to match their unique personality. •Experienced Senior Care: Extra TLC, oral meds, and gentle comfort. One Family at a Time: My calendar shows 1 dog to prevent overlap, but siblings are always welcome! Because I work from home full-time, pet care seamlessly fits into my daily life. My schedule lets me offer attentive supervision and adapt to your pup’s established routine. This setup is especially ideal for senior dogs who need frequent potty breaks, scheduled mid-day medications, gentle mobility assistance, or simply the comfort of having someone nearby throughout the day. Whether your dog thrives on quiet company while I work, cozy couch naps, or periodic stretch breaks on a walk, I mirror your home routine as closely as possible, keeping feeding times, nap spots, and light walks on track. Our home is designed to be a calm, clean, low-stress sanctuary where your pup can truly relax. Every detail is set up with safety, joint support, and accessible comfort in mind—largely shaped by the loving care I gave my late senior dog, Kenny. Accessible, Low-Impact Living: • Zero-Stair Access: Our building features an elevator, so aging hips and stiff joints never have to navigate stairs. •Senior-Friendly Furniture: Our furniture is intentionally low to the ground for easy on-and-off access, and dogs are always welcome on the couch! We also have a cozy, dedicated "dog chair" and an orthopedic, human-grade toddler mattress originally purchased to soothe Kenny's arthritis. •Spotless & Fresh Comfort: Your pup's health and hygiene come first. The mattress has protective covers that is cleaned between visitors. •Cozy & Stocked: While we have a secure patio rather than a yard, our home is filled with plush blankets, orthopedic lounging spots, engaging toys, and healthy treats. Routine & Outdoor Time: Multiple walks throughout the day—whether your dog prefers brisk exercise or slow, leisurely walks. Crating & Comfort: Because my late dog had a difficult past with confinement when I rescued, I never forced crating and prioritize open, free-roaming comfort. However, if your dog feels safe in their crate routine, I am happy to accommodate—please bring their familiar crate.

About: I've raised and trained my 8-year old Aussie, Bernie since he was a little guy. He's a very sweet and loving boy. For as long as I can remember, I've loved dogs. I decided to sign up for Rover to be around them more.🐕🤗 Over the years, I've watched dogs for friends and love to run with them in the park. I promise to help train them, engage them in physical play and teach them how to be a good running partner. I love running and trail running almost as much as I love our furry friends. If your looking for someone to help get your dog in physical shape and to teach them the ways of the park, I'm your guy! 🐕🏃 I currently work from home and run a small Turo business on the side. This allows me to be home most hours of the day. I spend a lot of time with my pup and plan to do the same with yours! My dog, Bernie, is a very good protector of the house and loves other dogs. When at dog parks, he plays sheriff and tends to break up fights, especially when the little guys get picked on. I'm not sure where he picked up this job but he takes it very seriously. 🚓 In addition, he'll keep your dog company whenever I'm not able to be home. In general, I take the safety of our furry friends very seriously and so does Bernie! 🤗

About: I’ve had dogs for 15 years, and loved, trained, and raised them from puppy age until the very end. I’ve taken care of friends and family dogs for seven years. I have experience in senior dog care and know how important it is to go at their pace, on their time. I’ll only take on full-day or overnight pets on my days off, which means they will get my undivided attention. Plenty of bathroom breaks, walks, and love. Dogs are allowed on the furniture in my apartment, so just let me know if those aren’t your rules. I live in an apartment with a balcony. There’s plenty of open space in the surrounding area and we’ll go on lots of adventures, as long as it suits your pup! I will always keep your dog on a leash unless you tell me otherwise.

About: For most of my life, I have been a dog mom, and I understand how crucial it is to know that your dogs are well cared for while you're gone. I'm here to assist you.

I am certified in animal massage and have been a volunteer at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley since 2016. I can't wait to meet you and enjoy some wonderful time with your four-legged companion! I have availability during the week and weekend to engage with your dog. This can be walks or a hike during the day, a playdate with my dogs, a basic training session, or just 1:1 cuddle time hanging out on the sofa watching our favorite show. The safety and well-being of your dog is top priority! We will find what works best for you and your dog. It can be a walk, engagement, basic training, canine massage, a play date, snuggle time...whatever meets your dogs needs that day.

About: I have experience caring for and loving dogs, cats, and other pets in our home since I was 10. I currently have an 8.5 y/o black lab border collie mix who is very active and is a people's dog not a dog's dog. That said, I can comfortably care for reactive dogs and cats with ease and empathy. I work full-time but my schedule is flexible. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, play time and attention! I am used to caring for active dogs. I know our pets can be most comfortable at home so I am happy to stay with them at your home. I will treat your home as my own and leave it better than I found it.

About: Come and play! We adopted our cute Cockapoo, Hank, in January 2020 from a well respected Missouri breeder. He is low key, gentle and sweet. Since we home-school we are home most of the day and able to go on walks in the morning or night. We also love to snuggle! Our 1/4 acre property is fully fenced in yard. Our neighborhood is very walkable and our 18 lb Cockapoo, Hank, would love a play buddy!

“Brian was great walking our high-maintenance dog! Will definitely use him again.”

“We hired Christy to walk our dog Lulu a couple of times recently. She was responsive to my request on Rover immediately and set up a time to meet me and Lulu. She asked great questions and I could tell she had experience with anxious dogs. Lulu did great with her on their walks and I appreciated Christy's detailed communication. We will definitely use her services in the future!”

About: I am a life long dog owner and animal lover. I have been fostering dogs for 15 years, and I've also volunteered with US Veterans Service Dogs, to learn training with positive reinforcement and to puppy sit. I work from home and am active. I walk daily and also love to hike. I welcome an opportunity to give your pets the very best care while you are away! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, to accommodate your pets needs. Whether it’s cuddling, easy neighborhood walks, hiking adventures, or going out and about- I’m up for it!

About: I've been an animal-lover and cared for dogs and cats my entire life! My family got our first dog when I was 2 years old. Even as a child, neighbors relied on me to watch their pets. As a pet parent myself, I know how uneasy it can feel to leave your pets home alone, but I promise I will treat them as if they were my own! I am a self-employed video editor who works from home, so I am in charge of my own schedule and therefore free any time for drop-ins or walks! I will go above and beyond to not only take care of your pet's needs, but also make sure they get plenty of pets, playtime and love!

About: I’ve loved animals since I was a child and have had many indoor and outdoor cats. I have also had hamsters, rabbits, dogs, hermit crabs, fish, chickens, ducks, geese, zebra finches and more. While learning to train dogs I also learned to train cats! It’s not as hard as many make it seem and I’ve enjoyed bonding with my own cat while teaching her to sit, stay, come and stand! Currently my schedule is very flexible to love on your fur baby. I am available most days but do occasionally travel. I make sure to update my calendar accordingly with those dates. In your home I will follow your instructions about how to care for your fur baby. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority and one I do not take lightly.
