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.

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 taken care of animals my whole life, from friends to family, to mostly the luxury of my own home. I have had the pleasure to live with six big beautiful dogs. Three Great Danes, Two Great Dane/ Saint Bernards, and a Rottweiler. I have taken care of animals all shapes, sizes, and ages. I promise to love your babies as I love mine! I am in school part time, so I will have plenty of time to watch over your babies and make sure they have plenty of necessities to get them through the day/night. With providing the service to stay in your home, I will make sure to treat your home with respect and care. All while making sure it is a safe and happy environment for your animals while I’m there.

About: I offer attentive, reliable pet care tailored to each dog’s needs. I have a 10 month old Golden Retriever who is friendly, playful, and loves every dog, creating a positive and social environment. I’m experienced with puppy routines, basic training reinforcement, and administering medications. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication so you can feel confident your pet is in loving, capable hands. I work from home most days, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision, and I can easily adjust my schedule to match your pet’s routine. I do not have a fenced yard but our apartment has a fenced dog park. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets are treated like family. My own pet is my world, and I bring that same level of care, attention, and responsibility to every animal I look after.

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.

“Always amazing! Emily is just the best with dogs. Hobbes always looks forward to his walks with her and she is incredible and reliable. Emily makes going out of town so relaxing because you know your dog is in great hands!! I would give 10 stars!!!”

“We booked Allyson last minute when our previous sitter cancelled last minute. She came and met our dogs the day before our trip and they instantly loved her! She did an excellent job of walking them and then feeding them afterwards. She sent a photo of them after each walk and they both looked so happy. They clearly loved Allyson and they looked forward to their daily walks. We will definitely book Allyson again. 💕😊”

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.

“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!!”

About: Hi there! I'm a passionate animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. Whether it's dogs, cats, horses, or other animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'm currently a second-year veterinary student and hold a Bachelor's degree in Equine Science. Before vet school, I worked as a veterinary technician, giving me extensive experience handling animals, recognizing signs of illness, administering medications, and providing compassionate care. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I currently share my home with my dachshund, Elsa, and my horse, so I know the love and individualized care that every animal deserves. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visits, overnight care, medication administration, or just plenty of companionship while you're away, you can have peace of mind knowing they'll be in experienced, caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently home for the summer after completing my second year of vet school. My schedule is very flexible and would love to spend my time with all animals. I care for my patients and clients like I do my own fur babies. They get the most of my attention and when possible, love to explore with them as well.

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.

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.

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 have a lifelong love for dogs, cats, and animals of all sorts. I have 5+ years of dedicated experience in house and pet care. I aim to provide a personalized experience that prioritizes your furry friend’s safety, comfort, and happiness I am currently a part time student, so besides school, i dedicate most of my free time to helping others with their furry friends, spending time with loved ones, and working towards my goals. My family’s household has many pets! Between my whole family I have 5 dogs, and a cat. I usually am in charge of feeding my own pets every morning and night, I love going on walks with them every morning, and i always enjoy playing with them and making sure they’re happy

“Super pleasant and you can tell she really has a love for dogs. Our boy Shadow really liked her and she took him on a nice long walk. Will definitely use 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: 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.

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