Dog Walkers in Lakeside, CO

“Sonnie has been an awesome dog walker for our pup. She is reliable and communicative, and always gets a long walk in. I take great peace of mind in knowing that my dog is getting a good work out in while I'm at work. I'm admittedly a bit of a high maintenance dog mom, but Sonnie handles all my requests well and always does everything exactly the way I ask. I would recommend her services, and will definitely continue using her in the future!”

“Gabreelle did fantastic! I asked her to take my boy to the dog park in the area and play with him. He came back tired and happy. She went above and beyond to help me with my pup.”

About: Hi there! I’m a full-time, professional pet and house sitter serving Denver, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, and everywhere in between. I carry independent pet-sitting insurance and approach every job with professionalism, consistency, and genuine care. Growing up, I was the primary caregiver for our family’s Cairn Terrier, and that lifelong love for animals has become my career. Since I can't currently have pets of my own, caring for yours is both my livelihood and my joy. I work best with animals who are reasonably socialized and do well with new people in their space. I understand that every pet has a unique rhythm, and I pride myself on reading their cues; whether they want play, affection, structure, or simply space to relax. I’d be honored to care for your companions while you're away. Feel free to reach out with questions or to set up a meet-and-greet. Pet and house sitting is my full-time career, so my schedule is flexible and completely centered around the animal companions in my care. I build each day around their routines: walks, meals, medications, brushing, and play, so they feel secure and at ease while you're away. When sitting in your home, I make it a priority to follow all written instructions exactly. I offer companionship and playtime when they seek it, and quiet presence when they need space. I also tend to household needs as agreed upon: bringing in mail, watering plants, and maintaining a clean, peaceful environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I maintain your home as a quiet, stable environment and follow all instructions precisely; from feeding schedules to gate locks and leash protocols. I adapt to the energy of each animal. Some pets love frequent play sessions and attention, others just want somebody present throughout the day. I respect those rhythms and keep your pet’s stress to a minimum by honoring their usual routines. If your pet requires medication, special grooming, or added attention, I ensure it’s done gently and reliably. I never bring other animals into your home, and I do not invite guests without your permission; your pet and property receive my full attention.

“Thank you for taking Mavis on our walk. I appreciate all of the updates on her walk, and for giving us some peace of mind while we were out. I would definitely book another walk with Mikiah.”

“Sara was communicative, walked my dog as scheduled, and promptly sent a photo and let me know how everything went. I appreciate how easy she was to work with!”

“Ryan is fantastic! She was recommended to me by a neighbor and I would recommend her 100% again and again. Not only did she take the time to come meet my little dude to make sure it was a good fit, but she sent me photo updates and report of how he did. He's a total ladies man, so I have no doubt his Thursdays are going to rock, and I have absolutely no worries about him while I'm away at work all day.”

Your dog will have full access to the 3000 sq ft home, fenced in yard, and finished basement for when it’s too hot or cold outside - finished with carpet for some indoor zoomies! We have a 12 year old heeler/brittany mix that loves long hikes, walks around the neighborhood, and playing fetch.

Meal times and amounts, medication administration, play time, belly rubs...whatever you normally do. We want to fill in so your baby doesn't feel out of place here. We both work from home and will be a presence throughout your pups' stay. We also have an electric doggy door that we will teach them to use if appropriate! We’ll send regular updates to make sure you have peace of mind while you’re away. We both work from home, and have lots of love and time to dedicate to your fur baby. We also have an automatic doggy door that we’ll teach your dog to use so that they can have all day access outside. We’re always around when we’re sitting - so your pup will be safe! Fenced yard, and lots of indoor space to run (or snooze) around in.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for pups of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From crate and potty training to helping anxious dogs feel safe and settled while their humans are away, I treat every dog like one of my own. My first fur baby was a sweet cocker spaniel, and since then I’ve loved and trained everything from a giant-hearted Great Dane to a lovable medium-sized rescue. While I don’t currently have a pup of my own, I work from home and get my doggie fix by caring for friends’, family’s, and clients’ beloved pets. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break and some snuggles, a peaceful stroll through the neighborhood, a game of fetch in the yard, or a hike on a nearby trail, I tailor our time together to their energy level and needs. I'm here to support both you and your dog, offering peace of mind, consistent communication, and loving care you can count on. I work from home and am my own boss, so I have tons of flexibility to accommodate you and your pup’s schedule and give them love and attention. I have a fenced yard and lots of space for your fur baby to run and play, plus great parks nearby, if they are staying with me. No kids or other pets in the home, so they will have my full attention. If house sitting at your place, I will stick to your pup’s routine so they are as comfortable as possible while you are away.

“Mariah has walked our dog twice in the last two weeks and she’s been great! She sends an update with cute pictures and Barney seems to enjoy her visits.”

About: Hi! My name is Rachel and I just moved to Colorado from Maryland (born and raised in Minnesota) and I am a huge cat lover/cat mom. I have two big Siberian male cats and they are my babies. My cats are basically my best friends and I do anything to make them happy (outside deck time, stroller rides, hydrating meals). I work 5 mins from where I live so my visits can be anytime before 830am and after 330pm. I gained a lot of experience watching cats in Maryland through Rover, as well as working at a Pet hotel (more information below). I always feel a real connection with cats and treat them better than I do most humans. 😹 I previously worked at Stay Pet Resort in Hanover, MD July 2023-November 2024 as their "Cat Person" playing and taking care of the boarding cats Thursday-Sunday for about 3-5 hours depending on how many cats. I understand adjusting to different personalities and seeing where each cat strives. Welcoming back returning cats is such a joy! I believe I have built relationships with many of these cats and I miss them all very much! I am available for drop-by visits any day or time of the week and am very flexible with availability or cancellations. I can do longer visits if necessary. I am not fond of staying over night at someones house but cats can stay at my house. I believe it is very important for the pets to gently be acclimated to any new people that enter their homes. I am the guest, the pet is the owner of the house and I need to respect them first before gaining respect. Bringing treats or catnip and toys with most likely helps. Speaking in a quiet, calm and high pitched voice is important. Using key words like good boy, treats, its ok, etc.

About: Raised with a furry family, I've cared for cats and dogs my entire life. Having recently said goodbye to my loyal companion of 16 years, I understand the unique needs of senior pets. My passion for animals extends to all ages, from energetic pups to calm companions. I love exploring the outdoors with my four-legged friends. I am comfortable administering medications. I work from home and love going for walks multiple times each day. I live a very dog-friendly neighborhood with a dog park nearby and several other lakes and parks to walk around. I have a single story home with a fenced yard to welcome your dog. In your home, I'm happy to assume your pet's usual routine.

“Ali is a great walker! She is always on time and replies really quickly. And she goes above and beyond - the other day my dog had an accident in his crate and when I came home everything was completely clean. Ali is great and professional and I’d highly recommend her!”

About: Hi there! My name is Dezirae , and I’m a dedicated pet sitter who truly understands that pets are family. Whether your furry friend is a playful pup or a cuddly cat, I’m here to provide loving care, attention, and companionship while you’re away. I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness in their own home. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I take the time to understand what makes your pet happy—whether it’s belly rubs, quiet snuggles, or an exciting game of fetch. I treat your home and pets with the same care and respect as I would my own. Pet care is a special part of my week! I dedicate my weekends Friday- Sunday to giving cats and dogs the love, attention, and care they need while their owners are away. —available Fridays-Sundays I believe that pets feel safest and happiest in their own environment, which is why I prioritize keeping their routine as normal as possible while ensuring they get plenty of love and attention. During my visits, I make sure they have fresh food and water, get playtime or exercise, and have any necessary cleanup taken care of—whether that’s scooping the litter box, wiping up pet messes, or tidying up after a walk.

“Hilary was great! She was super communicative and arrived right on time to take Twyla for her walk. Twyla loved her!”

About: Hello, I'm Allison! I am a licensed massage therapist, yoga teacher, and PATH certified Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning, and above all? An animal lover. Please note! I live in Denver, but I am happy to travel for a fee. I have extensive animal experience, from 4H as a child to working for several years ay a doggy daycare. There, we had one huge group of dogs of varying breeds and temperaments in one large room, typically 50+! I’ve worked in the equine-assisted therapy world and continue to volunteer at the therapeutic riding centers. My dog, Kaylee, is a rescue that I've had since she was a few months old. She is well-socialized, a total sweetheart, and loves to meet new friends. I consider this sweet pup to be my family, and know firsthand how nerve racking it can be finding a good pet sitter! If loving, mindful pet care is what you're looking for, let's be in touch! Don’t be shy on sharing your needs and desires for your fur baby - spill the tea! Our routine at home is potty breaks 4x a day and meals 2x a day. We can adapt this to the needs of your baby. I focus on really "being" with my animals and bring the same mentality when I watch others pets. Just like kiddos, animals need us to be present for them to feel safe. If you’re a horse person, I’m a big fan of Warwick Schiller!
