Dog Walking Larkspur

About: Our pets are our family and they should be treated as such ❤️. I am a full time nurse and do not need this job but I have two dogs that were very difficult and stubborn to train and I would have loved to have someone like me to be there if I went out of town or on vacation because I only ever trusted myself with them. I never went on vacation in their younger years because I was so scared someone would be mean to them or not care for them like I would if I boarded them. So I have decided to do this part time because every pet should be treated with love and care because they ARE our family ❤️🐾. I assure you, you won’t be disappointed if you trusted me with your family. I love all animals so much and quite frankly we don’t deserve their love and loyalty ❤️. Please choose me! I am working full time so I won’t be able to take all jobs but please reach out and I will try to make it happen. My schedule fluctuates so I can’t give certain days but if I am off work I will be there. I will treat your dog as you would just let me know any restrictions, dietary concerns, medications if they take them, certain ways they like things done or special things you would like done for your loved one and it will be done.

“Abby is great to work with and does a great job with our Golden Retriever. Thanks for all the help!”

About: I am a lifetime pet owner, and pet lover. I have experience with both dogs and cats. I'm available to be your fur-baby’s drop-in grandmother. I am a local retired elementary teacher. I continue to serve the Castle Rock/Larkspur/Franktown community by substitute teaching, tutoring, house cleaning, and pet sitting. I live nearby, and my daily schedule is adjusted to meet the needs of my clients. My visits begin with a calm, friendly greeting, followed by playtime, cuddles, and ear or belly scritches. I will feed and give meds as needed. I will walk your pet, or play in the yard. I can also bring in the mail/packages, or water plants or do other simple quick tasks if you need me to. I can give you photo updates, or a text. I will check the environment to make sure that your pet is safe before I leave.

About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life. Mostly dogs but a cat here and there as well. I find dogs to be genuine souls who are a persons true best friend. They bring out our authentic selves as well as showing us what true love is about. I love giving them the attention and care they need and deserve. Animals are like children in so many ways! Let me show your furry ones my love and attention! My full time job is a split shift during the week! I would be happy to help walk your dogs or play with them! I’m available Mondays- Thursdays (11-1), and Fridays (11-2), Saturday and Sunday’s (10:30-4) or over nights as well. Available most holidays! I’m available to do weekend over nights if need be if your usual one has conflicting time. I do have three dogs and have an open concept backyard.

About: Hello! I am skilled in handling and caring for many different types of animals, including cats, dogs, horses, goats, chickens, rabbits and even some reptiles and birds. I have mostly done pet sitting for friends and neighbors. I love animals and have two cats and one dog of my own. I also grew up on my family's farm caring for and managing many of the farm tasks there. I have time throughout the day to care for your pets when you need me to! I care for your babies the same way I would care for my own. Pet care has become a big part of my life, I make sure to keep my schedule as open as possible so I have time to meet all of your fur baby's needs. Safety is of the utmost importance to me, if I feel a situation is unsafe for your pet I will reroute plans to a safer option. One of the things I do to ensure safety is to build trust with your pet. This helps in the event that we are met with an unsafe situation, it can enable me to lead your pet out of that situation in a more calm and reassuring way. It is important to me to always keep an eye out in any environment to further safeguard from potential dangers. One example of how I do this is when I take my cat for a walk, He loves walks but is just a 6 pound little guy so I have to be very careful to keep an eye out for dogs, birds, and any other potential dangers to him.

About: I've been caring for animals for years, including my own two cats plus a family tortoise and helping look after other pets for friends and family. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to details like feeding schedules, exercise needs, and giving pets plenty of affection and attention. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. As a cat owner, I'm used to feeding, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring behavior, and making time for play and attention every day. I have a flexible schedule and can reliably fit pet visits into my week. This is my first season using rover as I am getting ready to go to college in August. I was hoping to take care of some pets and help families as a side job this summer! My goal is to provide reliable care and give owners peace of mind while they're away.

About: Animals have always been one of the biggest joys in my life. I’ve spent years caring for pets of all ages and personalities - from playful kittens and energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and love. In addition to having my own wonderful pack at home, I’ve fostered animals for the Humane Society and volunteered with local rescues. Those experiences have taught me that every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and what help them feel safe and happy! I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and cats and understand the gentle care, patience, and attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, medication or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, Ill care for them as if they were my own. I am a stay at home mom to two boys, I stay very active outside and I am always around for you pets needs. Pet care is a perfect fit for my schedule. I understand having a stranger in your home can be stressful. I think a meet and greet before had is a great idea to put you and your animals at ease. I am very respectful of your space and home.

“Dawn is the perfect dog walker!! ? our dog came back from his trip totally ready for dinner and bed! She took her time with him and even took some pictures of their adventure! She brought her son along which was perfect cuz my dog loves kids and other dogs! Thank you so much for an amazing experience!!”

“Jordan is very responsive and Sadie loved her from the moment she met her, which isn’t normal for my skittish pup. Highly recommend!”

About: IMPORTANT NOTE: I am a teacher, so I work from 7am to 4pm. I’ve been dog sitting for many years, caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personality types. Whether it's a dog walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, my main goals are simple: keep your pet happy, give them plenty of love, and make sure they get great exercise! As a school teacher, I have a very predictable routine that works wonderfully for pet care! My schedule makes it super easy to take on dog walks and drop-in visits before school (5:00 AM – 6:30 AM) and after school (4:00 PM or later). My availability opens up significantly during school breaks and throughout the summer! I always ask owners for detailed notes on food restrictions, meds, routines, and house rules so I can provide the exact care your pet is used to. I also build my schedule entirely around your pet’s needs—if they’ve been home alone during the day, I make sure to spend my evenings right there with them. (Bonus: I’m always happy to bring in the mail or care for your houseplants while you're away!) I look forward to giving your dog the best experience possible! Important Safety Note: I have a severe nut allergy! I am more than happy to give your pup any nut-free treats, snacks, or medicine pockets you provide. Please just let me know in advance if your dog uses peanut butter or nut-based treats so we can use a safe alternative while I’m caring for them. Since I am a school teacher, my schedule is pretty consistent for morning, afternoon and evening care. In the morning (5:00-6:30 am) I love to get the day started by moving my body, dropping in to get the dogs fed, and making sure they're set up for success before my day begins. In the afternoon and evenings (4:00 pm onwards) I like to destress the day by making sure pets are getting exercise and time outside. I dedicate my time to extra activities, such as pet care. I aim to ensure that your pets receive focused attention, exercise, and companionship while their parents are away. On weekends and school breaks, I am more flexible to do longer walks, drop-ins, and housesitting/dog sitting appointments. I am also more available to do midday appointments. I prefer to stay at the client's home for ease of care and pet emotions. While in the home, I abide by the client's rules/desires listed before leaving. I also make sure to stick to their normal schedule as closely as possible. While staying at the house, I will happily take care of trash/recycling, mail, and house plants. Unless permission was granted beforehand, I don't let anyone into your home and enjoy the alone time with dogs.

About: I spend my days providing hospice care at Pepper's Senior Dog Sanctuary, so I know how precious every moment with your pup is. With 6 years of experience including daycare management, dog training, and medical care (CPR, first aid, and triage). I'm equipped to handle puppies, seniors, and pups with diabetes or epilepsy and many more conditions. I use only positive reinforcement and treat every dog like family. My availability: Open Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays; Thursdays after 12 PM. (I work 12-hour shifts Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, so I'm unavailable those days unless you need late night or early morning care) I have my own pride and joy, Stubby Chubby, who keeps me company on my days off, but he prefers to be the only dog, so I don't offer in-home services. Instead, I'll come to you and treat your home like it's my own (but better, because I'll leave it cleaner than I found it!). Your dog's safety, comfort, and joy are my top priority. Have questions? Feel free to reach out about my schedule, experience, care approach, or anything else I'm happy to chat and make sure we're the perfect fit for your pup! I work 12-hour shifts 3x a week at Pepper's Senior Dog Sanctuary, but I'm blessed with a 3-day weekend and a short Thursday shift—leaving me open Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursday afternoons to care for your pup with the same dedication I give my seniors. At Pepper's, I administer medications to 20+ dogs every week, pills, eye drops, insulin shots, you name it. I'm no stranger to meds. The pups there receive around the clock care, meals, and love, and I work alongside a vet team daily with training in emergencies, first aid, CPR, and behavioral challenges. At home, my own medically compromised pup, Stubby Chubby, keeps me on my toes too so the care doesn't stop when I clock out. What I do is hard work, but I love every minute of it and wouldn't ask to be doing anything else.

“Megan did a great job! She replied to my request quickly and showed up on time. She did great with the million things I told her about the dogs. She is a very sweet person and the dogs loved her immediately when they met her. I 100% trust her and would refer others to her.”

About: I'm a fur Mom of a highly active pointer pup and know how important it is to provide proper care and play time for him. I am now working from home and have a flexible schedule to walk or check in on your pets. I personally know how much it means to have a caring person take care of my little guy when I am unable. I live in Eagle and will travel to Vail for an additional charge for walks and home visits. I have experience with clients staying at resorts that need assistance during they day while they enjoy skiing or exploring this beautiful valley. I also am able to provide references from clients along with those in the hospitality industry if needed to assure you that I'm the right sitter for you. I look forward to hearing from you! I work from home and have a flexible schedule that can be adjusted at anytime to care for your pets. I love animals and they brighten my day. I love walking and staying active. Dog walking is my FAVORITE. I'm very caring and respectful when it comes to watching your pets in your home.

“Micaela is a sweetheart!! Definitely will use her in the future. ?”

“Megan was a gem and made my first experience with Rover a positive one. I appreciated her taking the time to do a meet and greet before booking and for asking helpful questions about my dog’s behavior and habits to ensure we had a compatible fit. I also felt comfortable with Megan due to her experience with reactive dogs and understanding how to avoid or overcome triggers while still advocating for my dog koda. Thank you Megan!”

About: Hello, my name is Ashley. I am a stay at home mom of two boys, a 9 year old in second grade and a 3 year. I have experience dog sitting my family and friends animals while they have been on vacation and I had many cats in my family home growing up. I regularly help my grandmother with her dog while she travels. I am comfortable going to your house or having you pet come into mine. We live in a house with nice sized fenced in backyard. The main level and upstairs is dog friendly and the basement is already blocked off so there wouldn’t be any problems. Behind our house I have access to an open field as well as access to the reservoir. I currently have a golden doodle so my day is already dog filled routine. I have a pretty flexible schedule and I can also do overnight boarding. My dog is cat and dog friendly. Please don’t hesitate to ask. I have a large back yard for dogs to play my dog loves it back there. As previously mentioned my dog is dog and cat friendly. I have plenty of space inside for cats to roam and space for dog crates.

“Kristen is fantastic. She has formed a relationship with my two labs, is reliable and is continuing their training plan on their daily walks. We are so grateful we found her and our dogs can't wait to see her cone to the door!!!!”

About: I have had and taken care of different kinds of animals my entire life and I’ve loved every bit of it. I have house sat/ pet sat multiples times before and I love meeting new animals. I currently work part time as a caregiver for seniors and commute to MSU Denver twice a week for college. As of right now I do not have a set schedule for work. I care for my pets the way they need to be cared for individually. My family’s has three dogs of different ages and sizes. Seamus is age 12 and medium size, Ellie is age 6 and large and, Scarlet is age 1 and extra small size. With all of these differences comes with there own uniqueness but they all have the same amounts of my love.
