Dog Walking Larkspur

About: About Me Hi, I’m Ashley! I’m a wife and mom to two boys, ages 8 and 14. We’re a big animal-loving family and definitely have a full house already! We have two dogs of our own a Goldendoodle named Gus and a Boston Terrier named Bosco… as well as two bearded dragons and a leopard gecko. My boys would probably love to keep adding more animals, but I think we have enough for now! 😂 I have experience pet sitting for friends and family and have also helped care for pets in my neighborhood. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while their families are away. I’m excited to use Rover to meet more pets and families in my community and continue building my pet-sitting experience. I’m dependable, caring, and will treat your pets like they’re part of our family! Right now, I have a very flexible schedule. I work from home with no set hours and my kids are both in school so have lots of free time ! I love doing a meet and greet beforehand so I can get to know your pet and their routine. I appreciate detailed instructions and will follow them closely to keep your pet comfortable and cared for. I’ll also send updates and photos so you know they’re happy while you’re away!

About: I grew up with an abundance of animals; 4 cats in one home and 3 dogs and 1 cat in another. I helped care for a roommates dog in college and now have my own kitty! I do have a full time job, so any daytime visits Monday - Friday will be harder to accommodate. Not impossible, I just may need more notice to make sure I am able to give your pet the care it deserves! I am generally free after 3pm weekdays and all day on weekends. I will follow all of your instructions and best practices for caring for your pets in your home. I take into account each animals specific personality, likes and dislikes, and owners preferences to ensure the best experience.

About: With a lifetime of hands-on experience, I provide dedicated care for pets of all shapes and sizes. From cats and dogs to bunnies and horses, I’ve done it all. I understand that your pets are family. My mission is to give them the exact same love, attention, and high-quality care that you would provide yourself. As a part-time worker and a proud mom to a senior dog, I understand exactly what it means to provide attentive, around-the-clock care. My daily routine is already built around patience, love, and strict schedules. Just like I do for my own senior pup, I promise to treat your fur babies with that exact same deep devotion. Whether they need special medical attention, frequent potty breaks, or just an extra dose of love, my flexible schedule ensures they are never left waiting. I offer reliable drop-in visits and overnight care tailored entirely to your pet's safe space—their own home. I am fully present and can easily adapt to your pet's routine for a seamless transition while you are away.

“Remy was fantastic with our boy. Gave him twice daily walks and tired him out. We appreciate you so much, Remy. Loved the twice daily pics of our Charlie. Definitely will use her again!”

“Dezerae has been great walking my dogs. Even my normally fearful Chihuahua has taken to her kind spirit quickly, which is a feat in and of itself. Would recommend Dezerae to anyone!”

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: Been a Rover for the Crystal Valley and surrounding areas for over 7 years! I work from home so I have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I am a reliable, hard-working, and friendly individual with a passion for animals. I have grown up around animals and have taken care of them my whole life. Animals are a part of the family and should only be treated as such. Your animal will have an excellent experience with me and my family! If you're looking for a second dog mom, I'm your gal. I also have 3 teenagers who love to be my helpers along the way. I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know your animals! I currently work from home and will be around to take care of and love your fur baby! No long periods of being alone and plenty of playtime. I have a fenced-in yard and a large dog crate if needed! We have plenty of space for special accommodations and are happy to help in any way to make your baby feel safe. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. Your pet can happily roam the house and play with my dog, Bauer! We have a fenced-in yard and many toys. I have a fenced in yard (landscaping soon to come) and my dog Bauer is a great play mate! I am happy to accommodate as needed.

About: I’ve been taking walks everyday and running at night so getting your pup outside will not be a problem. Attention to your furry friend will be ample, spontaneous and fun, I even have a dog park within walking distance of my house. If you don’t mind I’ll even take your fur child out on fun excursions with me! Such as car shows, breweries, hikes or even first dates! Had a little guy for a few years but he’s gone now. I work from home so this allows me to take a break from staring at my computer screen while getting much needed exercise on our walks/hikes/excursion. I have a great walking route right outside my door, not much room to run around inside but that’s why God made the earth! Small or large pup will definitely be spoiled and treated as a member of the family.

About: My love for animals is genuine. They've been a part of my life since childhood. I often pet sit for my friends and family alike. While being cared for in my home, our four legged friends will enjoy playing fetch, hide and seek, tug of war, and of course getting cuddles too. I welcome elderly dogs as well. I have experience in administering medications, assisting elderly dogs with walking issues, hip issues, along with the blind, and the deaf dogs; they are all welcome and well taken care of here. I do allow most dogs on some furniture with a blanket provided by the owner. However, I do not allow them in beds. * I only accept dogs from one family at a time, and I only can accommodate 2 dogs at once. *. (There is an increase in my rates during the Christmas and Thanksgiving Holidays, that differs from other Holidays.) I have an open calendar most of the time. I do not work outside the home, and I have plenty of time for your pets. All our four legged friends get spoiled in the house of Morris. I have a fenced yard. I live near several parks, and there are many trails around my neighborhood with 2 dog parks in the area. *I will only take them to the dog park with the owners approval.*

About: I have been pet-sitting for friends and family since I was 14. I work remotely and am able to stay with your dogs/cats during the day if necessary. I love being active and taking dogs to the park or on walks everyday. I am a dependable sitter who has experience with both, puppies and elder dogs. I have sat for dogs with disabilities as well (blind, specific medication needed). My schedule is very flexible. Since I work remotely, I can house-sit and dog/cat-sit any day of the week for however long or whatever hours you need me. I am also free to walk the dogs multiple times a day as well. I am a trustworthy 25 year old woman who will respect your home and treat it as if it were my own. I always clean up after myself and respect the rules of the house-owner. I can be available 24/7 via my phone for updates/check-ins if needed.

“Jessica communicates very well. She treats my dog and home with great respect. I appreciate her kindness and patience very much.”

“She was on time and my old pup Scout thought she was great!”

About: I grew up with a constant menagerie of pets. When I still lived in my hometown with my mom and dad, we had a farm with more than 10 dogs and 7 cats. My job everyday was to take care of them and feed them, and I spent a lot of time playing around with them too, while my mom and dad were working so I’m very comfortable around all types of animals. I’m also a stay-at-home wife, so without other concerns during the day, your critters get my full attention! I love dogs and cats and have never met one I didn’t like or even that didn’t like me. I love earning an animal’s trust, showing them love, that they can trust me, and making them comfortable in my home. I have also spent a lot of time around a big variety of different dog breeds as well, and know how to handle them all; their activity and energy level, general personality types and their needs. Also, I have some knowledge about the best animal nutrition practices and am mindful of that when caring for your critters. I am 23 years old, so still energetic enough to match the young ones and puppies, who are of course always full of energy and always in that adorable, excited mood, which is very welcome in my home. Besides walking, I’ve created some pretty fun games for dogs that can help burn up some energy too! With senior dogs, I know how to make them comfortable and maintain a calm, quiet and caring environment for them with lots of dog bed spread around the house. When you trust me to let me take care of your dogs, you absolutely don't have any problems to worry about. I can promise that your dogs will have the best care and always be free to be themselves without worry, stress, or fear in my home. I am a full-time housewife, so pet care IS my weekly routine! Besides the usual house chores, I have plenty of time to give full attention to your furry loved ones. All day long, every single day, you can drop off your dogs at my home (my husband is just as much of an animal love as I am, and a business owner, so if he’s off he’ll be just as happy to have them as guest as I am!). Your dogs are welcome to sleep over at our house every single day of the week, until you get back from business trips or vacations. Food, water, a bed to sleep in and freshly cleaned toys to play with between sittings; our home can be theirs whenever needed. I can be available three days per week to come to your house overnight to take care of your dogs in their own home if you wish, as long as our schedules line up. With food: If you give me any food for your dogs when you drop them at my home, I will follow any routine and recipe you have laid out, being considerate of diet issues. If you’re more relaxed about diet concerns and don’t mind me spoiling them a bit I might treat them to a rice, chicken or fish and olive oil treat, which is a veterinarian favorite for good canine health, and dogs always tend to love it! (I keep these on hand and their made with no seasonings or flavorings at all). However, make sure you give me any information about your dogs health, diet and allergy concerns, before hand. In the yard: I do have a yard with a fence where your dogs can run around and play a bit or relieve themselves, but I use it sparingly and usually just do walks outside. (I do not have any plants in the yard that can cause harm to dogs.) Parks and trails: From my home to the end of the road I live on, about a one minute walk, I have access to a park that I’ll sometimes take dogs to. If your dogs are sociable and you don’t have concerns with them having run ins with other dogs or children then they might gets some social time that way. Let me know if these are concerns and we will keep them at the house. If your dogs are not socialized, I can take them for walks on the trail away from others, or not. Just let me know. With environment: I have no children, no pets, so your dogs will not have to face any territorial or child terrorism issues of any kind. If you prefer, I can keep your dogs privately kenneled while with me or allow them freedom to move about the house and socialize with me. If you don't say anything, I prefer to give your dogs freedom to roam around in my home and lounge wherever they like. They are allowed to stay on the couch or the bed, which is fine with me, but if you have them trained not to, just let me know and I will stop them. If there are any other training concerns or restrictions, don’t hesitate to let me know and I will maintain those both firmly and gently!

About: I have taken care of all my family’s pets since I was 11 - dogs and cats alike, including senior dogs and cats, and puppies. My family currently has two cats and two dogs and I love every second I get with them and would love to show your pets that same love. I recently moved to Colorado from California to start a PA program which does not start until August. I am looking to gain some extra money and taking care of pets is something I love to do. I am living in an apartment with my husband and our 2 year old domestic, medium hair tuxedo cat. He is a mostly indoor cat, but I do take him on walks occasionally. For my family’s dogs, they tend to stay inside but we have a doggy door that gives them easy access to the backyard, where they can relax, play, or use the bathroom.

About: Besides owning my own 6 year old Golden Retriever MJ, I really have a passion for caring and training dogs, and I'm good at it. I know how difficult it can be to find someone who you feel comfortable with taking care of your pets, and because of that I will give you a brief background about my experience. I am currently teaching a puppy class but I have been teaching obedience classes for the past 12 years. My goals are to make training interesting, challenging, fulfilling, useful, exciting, tantalizing and above all, fun. My experience also includes boarding a friends dog for 10 months while he was away on active duty. On the flip side, I have also stayed at numerous clients home for extended periods of time caring for multiple dogs. I will always treat every dog as a member of The Pack. I am passionate about teaching and training, so your dog will always learn a new trick. And I am more then willing to help or advise you with any concerns or behaviors you may need help with. My home has a lot of space to find a good spot for a nap, as well as a huge fenced in backyard. Plenty of room for activities. I work from Home, so i am always home with the doggies. Your pet will be treated as a member of the family. I have a huge fenced in yard with lots of room to roam and my Golden Retriever MJ loves other dogs and is always up for a good romp session. Work from home full time so i am always home and spend time with the dogs as much as possible. We are always working on in home manners, with all of our house guests. I have a huge, fenced yard, and all yard play time is supervised for safety. Dog gates used in the house if dogs need be separated but I have not had a dog situation yet that i wasn't able to handle.

“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Morgan is the BEST! She is communicative, reliable, replies quickly, and has rolled with all of my schedule changes which I really appreciate.”

About: Personal experience I've had smaller dogs (Westie and pugs) from adopting them young and adopting as a senior. But I've watched bigger dogs for coworkers and friends. I also have experience dealing with multiple medications and eyedrops for dogs. I love hiking and being outside so if your dog loves walks even better! Not to forget the kitties but I have also had a cat and watched cats in the past. Again young and older. My availability is pretty open as I work remote. Your fur kids will have a person around a good portion of the day. Which is perfect if you have a Velcro pet! I've cared for dogs that are crate trained and others that do not require a crate. I've also sat dogs that live in apartments and houses with a fenced yard.
