Dog Walking Laporte

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with lots of hands-on experience training and caring for both dogs and cats. I have two dogs of my own, one is a released service dog and the other is a service dog in training, so puppy raising, training, and working through tricky behaviors are a regular part of my life. I love taking dogs on walks, playing, and keeping them mentally engaged. I’m also a devoted cat parent and love creating enrichment and making sure cats feel comfortable and happy. My background raising service dogs means I bring extra patience, structure, and care to every pet I watch. I am comfortable with all ages and can handle any special needs or medications your animals may have. I treat all animals like family and can’t wait to care for yours! I'm a full-time student at CSU, but I have a very flexible schedule and only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays! I am available on weekends and most weekdays and am happy to work with you to find times that work best for me to come spend time with your pets! I have lots of experience with dogs of every size, behavior, and personality, and I'm eager to learn how to best support your animals in their spaces! Whether we're on a walk, or in your home, I will devote my full energy and attention to making sure your pet's needs are being met to the highest standard!

About: I’m currently a student at Colorado State University on the pre-veterinary track! I have a strong passion for animals and hands-on experience caring for them. My education and love for animals help me provide attentive, responsible, and loving care. I treat every pet like my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away! I’m currently a student at Colorado State University, so I do have classes throughout the week, but I typically get home at a decent time each day. This allows me to have plenty of time to give pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m also flexible with my schedule and can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and other pet care needs! I treat every pet like they’re my own! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I always provide plenty of love, attention, and care while keeping their environment clean and making sure their needs are met!

About: I would love to give your dog a fun and comfortable experience while you are away from home! In terms of my pet care experience, I have done drop in visits and house sitting for a few dogs on Rover so far. Before that (when I lived with my parents) I was fully responsible for taking care of my 2 dogs. I absolutely love dogs but I am not able to commit to having a dog of my own at the moment. I just graduated from CSU and have very open availability. I don’t have a lot of daily responsibilities at the moment so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I spend a lot of time going over information pet parent’s give me to be sure I am taking care of their pet correctly. I also pay close attention to the pet’s mood and behavior and adapt to their needs because all pets are different. I know it can be stressful for a pet when their family is away so I try to create a comfortable environment and keep them busy with fun activities.

“Stacy has been so patient with my shy dog. It takes a while for my dog to trust and warm up to new people, and Marley is warming up to Stacy, which gives me peace of mind. Knowing that she is in good hands with Stacy.”

“Sophia was great! Very professional & communicated updates. My pup was very happy when I came home!”

About: Hi! I’ve taken care of all types of dogs and cats, from big as a Mastiff to small as a Sphynx cat. I enjoy all animals, but I am a cat person! While I am a full time student with a part time job, I enjoy animals so much I would love to meet the animals near me! I will make sure the animal is comfortable, never overstep as I can understand body language (though treats might be the way), along with lots of love!

About: I am a Master’s student at CSU for Veterinary Clinical Care, formally trained as a veterinary assistant, and specialize in medical care for anyone needing a little extra attention! I am CPR certified through RECOVER, certified cat friendly through the FelineVMA, and I am currently completing my Fear Free Certification. I am well equipped to handle any curveball your fur baby may throw at me, and I look forward to meeting you and your kiddo(s)! I am currently a Master’s student, so I am generally busy from 8a-12p on MWF, and I work occasionally at an ER, but with enough heads up, I am more than happy to work with your schedule! I currently have my own cats (who do not play nice with others) so while I am not able to offer boarding services, I can do in home care and have been doing so for many years now. I can stay overnight and help house sit or I can only come to let pets out/feed. Whatever is the best way for me to serve you! I am capable of giving medications, feeding specific diets, and have skills in first aid for your pets if they end up needing it!

About: Throughout my childhood, I grew up with dogs. While I do not currently have a dog, I take care of my parents’ dog and three cats when they are out of town. I am also a cat mom to a lil kitten named Merlin. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for your pets! Whether it’s taking them on walks, feeding them, or just hanging out with them while you are gone. I love animals so much, I decided to get a degree in the conservation of them! I am currently in between jobs meaning that I can care for your pets anytime! Whether you need me weekdays, weekends or even if you are going on a trip, I am very flexible! While I am not comfortable hosting pets in my home at this time with a kitten, I am more than happy to walk dogs, do day visits or pet sitting while you are gone on a trip.

About: Me in a nutshell: I am a compassionate animal caretaker and have worked with a variety of four-legged friends! I believe that a pet is family and deserves the best care possible. My experience: I’ve spent my entire life with animals and I currently have two pups at home! Professionally, I am a Wildlife Biologist and I have about a decade of experience with domestic animal shelters, wildlife rehabilitation, captive wildlife, and (my favorite) pet-sitting! I am Fear Free Certified which simply means I’m equipped to put animal welfare above all else. I love to engage animals and I believe offering enough mental and physical stimulation is key for a healthy pet. I am a detail oriented and caring person, and I show the same love to your pets as my own! What to expect: I prefer to provide care in the home that the animal is already comfortable with. To do this, I am happy to commute within the Fort Collins region to your pet’s home base. I am very open to working with any special requests you might have: I’m happy to do dog walks, intentional play sessions, I can provide medications, or provide structured training (within a structure you’re already implementing). Before we commit to pet-sitting, I like to do a meet n’ greet with you and your pets to make sure I’m a good fit for their needs and to make sure you’re comfortable with me! Please let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to meeting you and your animal family! I will give your pets enrichment, playtime, medications, meals, or exercise as needed. I will meet with you prior to providing pet care to discuss the specific needs for your pet! I generally prefer to offer services in the client/pet's home where the animal is already comfortable. I can provide meals, potty breaks, reinforce ongoing training efforts, and offer enrichment/stimulation and playtime. We will meet and discuss the specific needs for your pet prior to beginning care!

About: I’m a pre-vet student at Colorado State University, and I have worked with and had pets for my whole life. I volunteer regularly at Animal Friends Alliance and The Milo Foundation, taking care of cats and dogs of all sizes and ages, from puppies to seniors. I also volunteer around the clinic at Marin Humane Society, prepping and taking care of recovering animals after procedures. I have pet sit for friends and family for the past 6 years, walking, feeding, and playing with their animals. Around my house I am the dedicated person to administer any medications and teach new tricks! I am a very flexible person! I am a full time student at the moment, with classes in the mornings and early afternoons on all weekdays during the semester. But I am dedicated to animal care and love to spend time with pets. I also volunteer regularly throughout the week, but those shifts are moveable. As a pre-vet student I take animal safety seriously, always being gentle and making sure to notice any signs of fatigue or weakness. I make sure to stay in the proper areas while petting unless the animal is comfortable with me going further. I clean all messes that the pets make, whether it’s fecal matter, vomit, or anything else. On walks, I am careful around other dogs even if the pet I’m walking is kind, you never know the reactivity of other dogs on the street. I’m always sure to make the pets feel cared for, happy, and loved!

“Caring, flexible and informative. Thanks for taking good care of Winston!!!!”

About: 13+ years of animal care! I have had many pets of my own growing up and currently have a dog named Ayza, so I am no stranger to animal care and I love all types of animals. I have done lots of pet and house sitting over the years so I've also learned to make friends with animals quickly and in all different types of settings. I have trained 3 puppies and given care to 2 elderly dogs who both required special care including medications. I love fostering cats/kittens when I am able, my latest foster was a pair of kittens only weeks old who had a rough respiratory infection at the time, they are both healthy and with a loving home together now! Working on a farm with animals I learned how to manage emergency situations as they arose, things like wounds, sickness, and other aliments and have become comfortable managing any challenging situations that may arise. I work remotely and set my own hours, meaning I have plenty of time and attention to give to your pets! I can fit just about any pet care requirements you have into my schedule. I am only offering client in-home care at this time. I love caring for pets in their own environment where they feel comfortable to express their full personalities. I have homes in both Colorado Springs and Fort Collins where I spend most of my time but I also travel the country in my converted camper van! I do prefer stays where my dog is able to join but can be flexible so just let me know your needs.

About: The beautiful atmosphere here at Ranch Itty Bitty provides lots of loving care, safety and walks on quiet country roads. All visitors love it here. I am nearly 100% retired and enjoy spending time with loving animals while their human family spends time away. I work hard to make sure their time is as precious as yours and mine. Since my two sweet pups traveled over the rainbow bridge, I have found joy in caring for pups of other families. While I miss my own, I adore the company of dogs and have found this experience absolutely perfect for my life. I have a big fenced yard if you need boarding services. I am extremely caring, respectful and have oodles of references to let you know you are hiring the best of care for your furry loved ones.

“Abigail was great! She was responsive, flexible, and very accommodating. She took my dog for a walk on a weekly basis and took care of my cats a few weekends when I was away. She was wonderful and I would highly recommend!”

About: Hi there, dog parents! Thanks for visiting my profile. I’ve been caring for dogs for about 9 years and absolutely love it! 🤍 I’m a fellow dog parent to a 10-yr-old Mini Australian Shepherd named Tytan, and he is the greatest love of my life. I assure you I will treat your pet with just as much love. New to Fort Collins and excited to get to know the area better! I’m available for dog walks, drop-ins, and the occasional house sitting upon request. I value quality time with pets, and will be nothing short of attentive & loving to them! I know that every dog is different, so I always carefully examine their mannerisms and unique quirks to better understand their needs/desires. Playtime, food time, nap time, walk time - you name it and I’m there with every ounce of my attention. I also consider excellent communication and complete transparency with the pet owners to be of utmost importance. When I’m in your home, I will treat it with care. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have!

“I wish I found Alexa sooner!! She is very and sweet and caring and I know that the days she comes for my dogs they are in good hands. She does great with my high energy pups while walking them and always makes sure that they have food and water after as well. You can tell that she is an animal lover by the care that she gives and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker ?”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a child. I’ve cared for a varying array of temperaments and needs. Cattle, horses, bird, water fowl, dogs, cats, reptiles and fish. I have basic knowledge of wound care and a good eye for catching of “something is off”. After losing my dog to cancer, I decided to sign up as a pet sitter to get some extra time with some sweet pets needing care. My full time job has me working from home and I am able to create and manage my own schedule, including midday walk breaks. I’m a pets on the furniture and on the bed person. If your furry friend needs a little extra snuggles, I’m here for it! I do live in a townhome off the rendezvous trail I. Fort Collins. Having the walking trail within 50’ of my front door leading to multiple parks and trails heads within a 5 min drive, I like to utilize them as much as I can. There is also plenty of open space in the neighborhood if your pet likes to just hang outside for a bit too.
