Dog Walkers in Lyons, CO

“Janelle was amazing and can’t say enough great things about her. She was prompt and took our 2 small dogs on nice long walks each day! I felt comfortable knowing she was checking on them and taking such good care. One of our dogs Gimli is very skiddish and gets scared. By second day he was happily going off to walks with Janelle. In the past other dog walkers or sitters could not get him to come close enough to leash him up or take him for walks. So a great testament and to her skills and patience! Would 1000 percent use Janelle again!! You should book her now!!”

“Can't say enough good things about Ona!, their schedule is very flexible and they work with me with last minute requests and do a wonderful job. My beautiful little dog is always super happy when I come home and not too too fully energetic.”

“I have lived with Vicki for a year now and know she likes animals-I have referred some clients to her for dogsitting with good results.”

About: I have a background in behavior analysis, which has been useful with training my dogs. When you look at behavior as a function to meet a need, it is easier to understand and have compassion to our pets. I have also taken a behavior training course through a local dog training company. I have recently left my career as a Special education teacher/ administrator to be a homemaker. As much as I love spending more time with my family, I long to help my community. My schedule is very flexible especially during the school day. I take my own baby Blue (Weimaraner) on frequent walks and hikes through our beautiful county. I typically assess the surrounding areas within and outside of the home. Ensuring that the environment is safe. I will then let the dogs out and monitor that they engaging in typical/ expected behaviors.

“Jack was great -- on time, had a lot of fun with Bodie, gave him a good workout every day and even a paw wipedown when done with muddy walk days. Highly recommended.”

“I was really ill today and just needed someone to walk my babygirl. I am so lucky to have found Fiona! She lives nearby, understood my situation, came over exactly when she said she would, walked for a little longer than 30(thank you). She seemed to have to problem handling my excitable strong pit. I am extremely appreciative of Fiona!”

About: U.S Army Veteran I have extensive experience in pet care, big and small, young and old! Over the years, I have volunteered at an animal shelter and have fostered several rescue animals. These amazing experiences have made me an expert in feeding, grooming, pet sitting, dog walking, and play time! I’d love to share my passion with your best friends! I am currently working part time, which allows plenty of flexibility for me to love and care for your furry friends! I am available weekdays, most weekends, and some holidays. I have spoiled babies myself, three corgis! Wether at my house or yours, I will take care of your furry friends like they are my own!

About: Our family loves dogs! We have 1 black lab (rescue) and have had two other dogs and have cared for others’ dogs for several years. We have a fenced in yard, are active, and generally someone is home during the day. We’re excited to watch your dogs! During the week we are generally working from home and are able to give your dog a lot of attention. We run around on weekends but will be sure to be home at least every 3-4 hours for the dogs. We have a fenced in yard. Inside we allow the dogs to roam freely (ours loves the couches). We are also fine sticking to any rules you have about no pets on the furniture, and we are happy to put them in a crate or let them free roam. We work from home and are active so we can get your dog(s) exercise throughout the day. We also have a fenced in back yard. We have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog who loves playing with other dogs. Somebody will be home most of the time and we are happy to crate your dog when we leave if you prefer.

“Fabulous as usual!”

“Hi there, I have know Ella her entire life and when she was about 12 she was already dog sitting for me and my dog Koda. She has always been in love with animals and draw to their energy and love from early on. Ella is incredibly smart, caring and conscientious. Mature beyond her years! Ella will be a great addition to your company. Sincerely, Stuart”

About: I grew up with dogs in my home, but I now own two kitties. I work as a vet tech, so I have been trained on animal body language and proper animal care. I love pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments! I work as a full-time veterinary technician, so I may not be available during some week days. However, I’m almost always free to stop by after work, or to care for your fur babies on the weekends. I’m not offering in-home care at this time because I own two cats that get a little anxious when other animals are in the home.

“Lindsay is a dog whisperer. She is a caring and loving person and not surprisingly animals pick up on that. She doggy-sat our 6 month old puppy Marvin and he was obsessed with her. Marvin is a Sheppard mix and has a lot of energy and Lindsay was able to keep him entertained and active so he could stay out of trouble and be tired by the evening. I highly recommend Lindsay's services!”

“Laura took great care of Basil while we were out of town. Will request her services again and would recommend!”

“Rebecca walked our young OES for several months until we moved out of the area. She was very kind and patient while we worked on the dog not jumping up on visitors. Generally great to work with and the dogs love her!”

“Ryder is incredibly attentive and caring! We always feel safe and happy to leave our dog and home with him while we're away. We love having him stop by for walks during the week / weekends when we aren't available ourselves! Would highly recommend Ryder!”

“Lauren was great with my high energy pup. She was great at communicating and scheduling to meet our needs. She took the time to get to know my dog’s needs and wants and made sure she had fun walks. We will definitely plan to have her help again in the future!”

“April G and her family in Colorado will make the best dog sitters. As long as I have known them, they have always owned a dog and have provided a secure, safe and playful environment for their pets. This includes lots of outdoor time either walking, running, skateboarding 🛹 or bicycling with a dog at the end of their leash. Located in a lovely community, April and her family have a beautiful and spacious backyard for the dogs to safely wander and enjoy their “dogcation” away from home. If I were a dog, there is no place that I would rather be 🐕.”

About: Over the course of my life I have had the wonderful privilege of caring for countless animals. Several years as a professional caregiver, I tended to the pets, properties, and livestock of numerous clients in Colorado and beyond. I believe communication is key, and am quick to reach out if there are any concerns. From hamsters to horses, I love to provide the best care that provides your animals with comfort and reassurance while you’re away. I am happy to care for both young and old, and have experience with both, as well as with administering medications. Walking is a favorite activity of mine, and if your dog’s energy requests it, I’d love to make a new jogging buddy! I cannot imagine a world without these amazing animals in it, and I look forward to meeting yours! I recently sold my business in Idaho and moved back to the area, so my daily routine is pretty flexible! I would love to get on a regular dog walking schedule with several families in the area. Any type of weather is fine by me, and I’ll gladly walk in rain or shine (as long as your dog’s is up for it 😁). I am VERY conscientious about other people’s properties and homes. As a property caretaker for several years, I am quick to notice when something is off, or out of place. And if I have any questions, or concerns, I will definitely contact you to let you know! If the gate is latched, I’ll triple check to make sure I leave it that way (same with lights, locks, garage doors, etc). I’ll make sure things are back as they should be, and your pets have everything they need to stay comfy in your home while you’re away.

“Bri is amazing! Our Australian Shepherd and Havanese Mix Rescue have grown to love her. Our rescue tends to be a bit hard to connect with, but Bri has been wonderful, taking the time and having the patience to make him feel safe. It truly is wonderful to have someone that cares for our pups like we do!”

“Corina has cared for my Wheaten Terrier, Paulo, which was no easy task. He was old, arthritic & grumpy, and needed lots of TLC. She knew his food preferences, which treats he liked, and ensured he took his medicines. Being a terrier, he wasn't fond of other dogs, and she avoided situations that would make him aggressive. Corina made sure to take him on fun walks, not just the same route every day. she is a dog lover, and I highly recommend her!”
