About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember, but my experience really began when we moved to Colorado back in 2009. On a small plot of 5 acres my family kept dogs and horses, and as early as the age of 14 I was bucking hay not only for our animals, but for neighbors and family friends as well. I’ve taken care of dogs, horses, cats, chickens, ducks, goats and even alpacas! I have a soft spot for what some would consider „problem“ animals. As many pets as I have cared for I have yet to pick out one myself- they seem to find me. My current companion has a distant history of aggression and has bit me more than once in the past, but every day he makes me proud and proves to me that he was worth the patience. He hasn’t had an incident with aggression in over 4 years now! As a high-energy Husky breed he has pushed me to become more athletic to properly exercise him, and to invest time into learning how to communicate with dogs. Of the six queues dogs use to communicate (verbal, somatic, motion, location, eye contact and posture) his strongest is eye contact. In a game of charades, once he breaks eye contact I know I‘ve hit the mark, and he responds well on our walks to a tall, proud posture, tending to mimic with a cute little prance. I love my boy <3 I prefer volunteer work and odd jobs to traditional employment, so my schedule varies greatly depending on demand. I might take a job tending to someone’s yard or garden, feeding and playing with their pets, or cleaning their home, so I am typically able to fit a visit in about every 4-6 hours. I prefer to hit the gym Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday, and I walk my dog a minimum of twice a day, morning and night, which I will need to attend to if my roommate is unavailable. Otherwise I am available for visits, dog walks and house sitting any time or day of the week! I like to give time and attention to the animals I care for, more than just a quick visit, so I can come to know them. Plenty of care, play and exercise is my goal for walks and play dates.

“Chris communicated very well and made sure to keep us in the loop when taking care of our dogs. Very nice and kind person as well, as he took the courtesy to clean up our apartment afterwards, and that’s very generous of him. I would recommend him to anyone I know”

About: Hi 😊 I’m Maru & Mori’s dog mom 🐶🐶 I used to spend every day with my two dachshunds — one is a 15-year-old senior pup, and the other is a rescue baby who came from an abusive environment. They’re currently staying in Korea for a while, and I realized how much I miss the simple everyday moments with dogs — going on walks, hanging out together at home, taking naps next to each other, and just sharing the day 😊 So I wanted to start pet sitting not in a “professional service” kind of way, but more because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and spending meaningful time with them 🫶 For pets who spend long hours alone waiting for their humans to come home, I’d love for them to have a fun, comforting day with a new friend instead of feeling lonely all day :) I work freelance from home, so I’m usually home most of the day and can give pets plenty of attention and company. ✔️ Puppies welcome ✔️ Senior dogs welcome ✔️ Shy or anxious pets welcome ✔️ Cats welcome too 🐱 And currently, there are no other pets in my home, so it’s also a good fit for pets who prefer calm, one-on-one attention 😊 🐾 Daycare 🐾 Pet sitting visits 🐾 Boarding at my place 🐾 Walks & playtime 🐾 Photo/video updates 📸 Honestly, I just miss having furry little companions around and would love to spend time with pets the same way I did with Maru & Mori — with warmth, patience, and lots of love 🤍 Feel free to message me anytime 😊🐾 Self employed, and work from home. Very flexible time and availability to care for your dogs. Close proximity to multiple parks downtown and safe walking and bike trails. Able to come to your house as well for dog care! I've lived with two dachshunds in Seoul for 15 years. They recieved two to three walks a day by the Han river and lots of attention indoors during the day. I take care of oets like they are oart of my family

“Not only was Dylan willing to accommodate on short notice, but he was extra communicative and kind when we had an issue with our sink during our trip. He took great care of our cats and house!! We highly recommend Dylan if you are looking for someone who takes great care of your pets and for some peace of mind while you are away.”

“Abigail was so professional and a delight! Daisy loved her, and Abigail went above and beyond giving her attention. She also checked in and provided pictures. I’m so grateful!”

“Dora took good care of my cats while I was away! She played with them and gave them treats in addition to feeding and scooping litters. She also went above and beyond by watering my plants!”

Sonja L.

“Danielle was great to work with and so helpful stopping by to check on Vinny when I was gone for a long day. I came home to a happy pup.”

“I am extremely grateful for Shawna being available outside the normal drop-in routine. She is flexible and great with my pups. Thank you, Shawna!”

About: Hi! My name is Nicole! I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I will make sure your pets are provided with the individualized care that they need and deserve. I’m comfortable administering medications when needed, reinforcing basic commands and routines, helping maintain the structure pets are used to while you're away. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. In addition to dogs and cats, I also have six years of experience caring for snakes, so I’m comfortable providing care for reptiles as well. I understand the importance of proper feeding schedules, habitat conditions, and gentle handling. Whether your companion needs a good walk, a daytime check-in, company while you’re traveling, or care for a reptile friend, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am a licensed massage therapist that has a private practice out of Old Colorado City. I work about 3-4 days a week and have a fair amount of flexibility the rest of the time. And with some notice, I can block out my work schedule for Rover clients. I have a 14 y/o Chihuahua mix that I walk, cuddle and play with daily. We are close to my office, so we either drive or walk to work where she greets my massage clients and naps during sessions. As for home sitting clients, I abide by their care guidelines to make sure their home and pets are treated with care and respect. I keep a clean home and will leave your home in good standing.

About: Animal lover of all types and sizes. Flexible schedule for the care of your dogs, cats, and exotics. Veterinary technician experience of 2+ years with formal education. Extensive experience with bottle feeding and the attentive care of very young kittens. I have a very flexible work schedule, and I update my pet care hours weekly. I am normally available ANY day after 5:30 as well. Text me for special requests! I have fenced yard and spare room which is kept separate from my own pets. I also live in very close proximity to several paved walking trails, and would love to cater to wooded, unpaved trail environments as well. In your home, or on walks, i will utilize my veterinary experience to read your pet's emotional and physical state as well as your careful instructions to provide the utmost care.

“Cameron was AMAZING! One of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. They were super attentive and communicative. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my fur babies! They even tidied up my house a little bit which was just above and beyond all my expectations. 10/10!!”

“Sia did an excellent job keeping us updated on our animals. Even with the snowstorm while we were gone she took the time to take our dog out so he could stretch his legs. Much appreciated!”

About: I've always had between 2 and 4 dogs at any given time in my life. I have experience training puppies, caring for elderly dogs, and teaching old dogs new tricks (it's totally possible btw). If you have high-energy pups that need lots of exercise every day, I can run or hike with your dog/s. I have two Newfoundland-poodle mixes of my own and we stay very active. I usually run or hike with them in the mornings and get in another walk later in the evenings. I work from home and have a very flexible work schedule. I have a spacious fenced yard and two friendly pups of my own that love meeting other dogs! When walking your dog/s, I can bring them hiking/running/walking when I take my own or take them on their own depending on your preference.

About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. As an older, dependable caregiver, I bring patience, reliability, and a calm presence that helps pets feel comfortable and safe. I also cared for my own senior dog through his later years, and understand the extra attention and compassion older dogs need to stay healthy, comfortable, and happy. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, medication reminders, or simply a caring person around, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I have for my own. I’m a school teacher currently out for the summer, so I have a flexible schedule and am available most weekdays and weekends. I’m also an early riser, which makes me a great fit for morning walks and dependable daily care. My availability allows me to give pets consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. My home provides a safe and comfortable environment for pets, including a secure 6-foot fenced yard, a covered porch for shade and relaxation, and easy access to the house through a doggie door so dogs can move comfortably between indoors and outdoors.

“Awesome sitter for our boys, she was thorough, caring & professional. Even checked up on unusual things to let us know. Would highly recommend ANY time!”

“Lucia was awesome! I could tell Pippy would be in good hands as soon as we met. Lucia followed my directions and stayed on top of cleaning, caring for Pip, letting her outside, and was able to do some watering I needed. Very much appreciate her.”

About: I can’t wait to spend time with your pet! Their personalities and differences set each other apart. I know how important our pets are, and I am here to pay close attention to your pet’s needs and provide personalized care. I am comfortable around all breeds. My family and I have had German Shepherd’s throughout our lifetime. I am currently looking to “foster to adopt” one myself! I am a healthcare worker which has given me skills that allow me to easily understand yours pet’s special needs. I am comfortable administering medication, or giving specific food. I am an active person, and love to have a 4-legged buddy to walk with! I currently have extra time away from healthcare this summer, and I am looking to take on pet care jobs most days of the week as it is something I enjoy! I am detailed oriented and willing to stick to all instructions in order for your pet to be the most comfortable and at ease. In my home, I do have one cat (Layla) who I would likely have to keep separate for everyone’s safety. I own my home, and I have an un-fenced backyard. Out of respect for neighbors, and your dog’s safety, I will keep on leash if outside. I have endless hiking trails, towns, and parks nearby! I am open to all needs and concerns and we can come up with the best plan for your pet!
