About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of watching friends' and neighbors' pets, and what started as a favor quickly became a passion. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. I'm highly experienced with administering medication to both small and large dogs, including those with specific health needs or requiring special care. For the past 3 years, I've provided senior dog care, and I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attention to detail our older pups need. Being a very active person, I enjoy going on walks, runs, or simply playing fetch in the yard—whatever suits your dog’s energy level and routine. Whether your dog is a playful pup or a calm cuddle buddy, I’m here to keep their tail wagging and make them feel at home. I am a free lance artist so I have more than enough time to take care of your pet! I am available for drop ins, sitting and walks the full week! I will keep my calendar updated for any changes to this availability! I will adhere to any house rules you may have and make sure your pet’s normal schedule is not disrupted. I will bathe, give meds and walk your dog as needed and make sure they are fed.
“We are so glad to have found Dan!! We appreciate how well he cares for Louie while on walks. Louie comes back happy and tired, and based on how excited he is when sees Dan, looking forward to his next walk 😆”
About: I'm a 33 year old male and I've grown up with all different breeds and sizes of dogs. If I'm available, that means I'm in my off season from teaching skiing at Aspen Highlands so I'm very flexible! I'm a runner and I'd love to take your dog(s) out running and play with them. Having grown up in a zoo of a house, I have experience with nearly all types of animals. Cats, reptiles, fish, birds, hedgehogs, you name it.! I'll be available until December when I return to my full time seasonal job in Aspen. In the meantime, my side work is very flexible. I live alone in a 2nd story condominium which I own, 100 yards from the Coal Creek trail, creating a calm and relaxing environment for your pet. I'm more than happy to travel to your home to care for your pets. I'm happy to respect whatever house rules you have in addition to caring for your pet.
“Cole was so great and patient with our dogs (one of whom is a little crazy!) He's kind, compassionate, responsible and made us feel like our pups are always in good hands. We'll certainly use him again and recommend him to anyone!”
About: I have a lifelong experience with animals of all sizes and energy levels. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, and even rabbits, and I currently have a German Shepherd/Husky mix—so I’m very familiar with the needs of high-energy working breeds. I prioritize mental stimulation, structured exercise, and regular grooming. While I don’t hold formal training certifications, I always try learning from reputable online trainers to improve my care and communication with pets. I’m attentive, adaptable, and genuinely passionate about helping every animal thrive. I work remotely, which gives me a lot of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. My own dog gets 3–4 outings daily, and I regularly fit in exercise through walks, runs, or even skating. Because my lifestyle already revolves around regular pet care, it’s easy for me to incorporate additional walks, play sessions, or drop-ins without disruption. I’m dependable and responsive, and I make sure every pet gets the time and attention they need. Building trust and consistency is key to helping pets feel safe and happy around new environments or people. I follow all owner instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, grooming routines, or preferred walking styles. I aim to replicate the pet's home routine as closely as possible, and I make sure each animal receives the care, affection, and structure they need.
“Paul helped us out with dog walking the week of Thanksgiving and did a great job. He was prompt and managed despite a winter storm. We hope to have him help out on future trips with walks/care for our pup!”
About: I work from home so I can spend lots of time with your pups. I should note that I will be the person responsible for taking care of your pups. I actually added a couch in my office specifically for our dogs to hang out with me while I'm working. I have a fenced yard for quick potty breaks and playtime, but also regularly take walks ranging from 10 minutes to over an hour, depending on how much exercise your dogs need. As a dog owner my entire adult life, I've been there for pups ranging from energitic puppies needing bathroom breaks every 10 minutes to elderly dogs needing extra gentle care and affection. Your dog will get tons of attention and affection from the whole family - whether it is playing chase, walks/hikes or cuddling on the couch. I work from home and therefore am available pretty much constantly to watch and interact with dogs in my home. It also gives me the flexibility to visit and take care of dogs in my clients' homes. I try to keep a pretty consistent routine with my dogs - including multiple walks per day and playtime - as well as feeding/medication schedules. I have a fenced yard for quick potty breaks and some playtime. We NEVER take dogs out of fenced areas without a leash. I've been a dog parent for 40+ years and take my responsiblity as their care taker seriously - and I include fun and affection as part of my responsiblity. In a client's home, I handle my role professionally. That means, making certain I'm meeting the client's expectations for visitation frequency, walking and keeping the environment exactly as I found it.
“Nicole once again was amazing! She came to do dog walking for our two wild pups and she was amazing. She was able to take the walk on somewhat short notice. She sent photos and updates and we never worried a single second about our babies! We would highly recommend Nicole! She loves your animals like her own.”
“Michelle was amazing! Our cat is young and energetic and she made sure to get his energy out every day and leave all sorts of enrichment things when she left for the day. Despite our kitty being a bit high maintenance, Michelle took excellent care of him and was incredibly responsive and receptive to new instructions. Thank you for your hard work, Michelle!”
About: I grew up with dogs. Have been with them in all chapters of life. Love with respect and discipline. Being with them is pure joy I walk in the mornings, hike at lunch in Boulder from my job. I love to be out in the evenings with animal companions. Any weather! I HAVE FLEXIBLE WORK DAYS I have a big backyard, all fenced in. Walking trails everywhere. I don't mind travelling to walk. My home is to be lived in with joy and love, and messes sometimes 😄
“Lila has been so patient and loving towards my very shy, fearful pup. It takes time for my dog to warm up to new people, and trust them. I would highly recommend Lila to anyone that has pup who is shy and fearful.”
About: I have always loved dogs since I was a child. I decided to have my first own doggy 6 years ago and my life completely changed. I pursued a theoretical course to become a dog trainer, but I have never completed the practical one due to a lack of time. I moved here from Italy three months ago (with my husband, our two cats and one dog) and now I have the opportunity to embrace my biggest passion: pets/animals. Mountains, nature and open spaces have always been my greatest source of experience and inspiration. I work for a full time job few months ago, so I can dedicate time to your pets after 4 pm only. I’m not ready to offer the home sitting service since I need to understand how our pets can behave with clients’ ones in overnight mode. We have a small fenced yard, one dog and two cats ready to meet and keep your pets company. We have no kids for now, so it could be easier for your fur friends.

Elissa is wonderful! She walked my dog Shadow for several days in a row and was so kind!! Always showed up on time and was very communicative and professional and responsive. I liked how she noticed little things about Shadow and shared them with me to make sure they were normal for him and adjusted her walks based on his needs. Shadow looked forward to her coming each day and tried to give her a bunch of kisses when he saw her. :) He enjoyed her company and she walked him like I would walk him, letting him sniff stuff and roll around. Just perfect! Highly recommend her to anyone!! She really understands dogs and loves them and takes good care of them and tailors her actions to their needs. Very much appreciated. 💓 Thank you Elissa!
Lucretia was fantastic with arranging a meet and greet and really put me at ease. Lena, her daughter, was fantastic with the dogs and did an excellent job with our pups. We felt like we had a trusted person who we knew would care for them the way we would. We will definitely be using them again!
Jen made my experience absolutely amazing. Recent foot surgery, it snowed, my dog needed to be get out last minute. She was flexible, communicated well, provided pictures, took him on a 2 mile walk and even to the dog park. I wish I could give her 10 stars and highly recommend.
