Dog Walking Mead

“AJ was professional and friendly and took time to meet my new rescue dog before starting service. AJ took extra care of my dog, providing lots of care for him and communicating with photos and updates after their visit. I would highly recommend AJ!”

About: I live in a very full and very happy home of five rescue doggos and a cat-that-thinks-she-is-a-dog. Needless to say, I juggle many different personalities, needs, and quirks every day. I feel most fulfilled getting to know animals for who they are and building trust at their own pace. I use positive reinforcement and pay close attention to behavioral cues, especially with dogs who are anxious, fearful, or need a little extra patience. I have hands-on experience managing multi-dog dynamics, including situations with food or fear aggression, so I’m very intentional about following each pet’s specific routine and your instructions. Alongside pet care, I’ve spent nearly two decades teaching dance to all ages, which taught me how to corral a group of strong personalities. The skills translate well: patience, awareness, and keeping structure and calm when things get a little unpredictable. At the end of the day, I treat every animal like a whole little person—just one who might occasionally eat something they absolutely shouldn’t. I keep a flexible schedule and can accommodate a range of routines. I book thoughtfully so I can be fully present, reliable, and consistent for your pets. My approach centers on safety, trust, and a calm, low-stress environment. I follow routines closely, read each pet’s cues, and let them warm up at their own pace so they feel secure and understood—not overwhelmed.

“Shawn was great, booked him for a week. My two dogs had no issues w/ him, nor did he have issues with them. Shawn was very nice & attentive to their needs. From bathroom breaks to water breaks Shawn handled it. If the doggies were low on food/water he took care of it. He walked the dogs on various routes within the neighborhood to keep them interested. Thanx again Shawn for your help and nurturing. I WILL definitely book again in the future.”

About: I’ve helped family and friends care for their dogs for years, including walking, feeding, bathing, and taking them on hikes. I currently live with three Great Danes that belongs to my cousin and I have helped care for them for the past nine years. We also used to have Chihuahuas, and we have two cats, so I’m comfortable with both big and small pets. I’m patient, active, and love making animals feel safe and cared for. I’m currently in nursing school, so I spend a lot of time at home studying and have a flexible routine. I’ve also been wanting to get out of the house more, so pet care is a great fit for me. I’d love to help care for your pets, take them on walks, and possibly bring them on hikes if that’s something they enjoy. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I pay close attention to their needs, routines, and personality, and I’ll follow any instructions you provide. I’ll treat them like family and keep you updated while you’re away.

“Julian was our first help through rover and he was amazing. Took his time to explain everything to us and came so prepared. He immediately made our, sometimes, nervous dog at ease. Highly recommend Julian! We will definitely ask him to help us again!”

About: Hello🐾 I’m Karys. I’m a full time college student with hands on experience in veterinary medicine and animal shelters. I am passionate for animal care and love giving pets personalized attention so they feel comfortable and happy in their own routine. I harness trained my cat for outdoor walks and car rides, which is something we both enjoy and makes spending time together fun and engaging. I like taking pets out on little adventures, like an afternoon hike/ trip to the park, or a quiet afternoon on the couch together watching a show. I have open availability! I’m a full-time online student with a self-paced schedule, so we can coordinate days and times that work best for both of us. I have open availability! As a full-time online student with a self paced schedule, I’m happy to coordinate days and times that work best for you and your pet.

“Great communication and she got along with my dog really well. Looking forward to having her come back for more walks!”

“Alissa did an AMAZING job with our pup Luna. She can be quite a handful but when we came home our girl was taking a long nap as she had 2 great walks around the lake. Alissa also accommodated to our needs of using codes to get into our apartment and unit along with booking a second walk last minute. :)”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals, from chickens to lizards. I know all animals deserve the best and that they all should be loved and cared for, as I have two of my own. I know how to take care of animals, whether they are babies or older. I prioritize responsibility, genuine love and care and communication. My busiest days are Monday and Fridays, as I work from 8 am to 6:30 pm. However, I only work part time (max being 5 hours) for the rest of the week. I always will check in on your babies and make sure I take care of their needs before and after my job. I live in an apartment that has an outdoor area and I live within close proximity to amazing parks. I also have toys and other enjoyable things for your babies to enjoy.

“Hope did a great job and my dogs loved the walks!”

About: While my experience caring for pets professionally is limited, I worked in healthcare for a short stint out of high school, delivering medical oxygen supplies to peoples homes, and setting up the equipment for patients. One of my favorite parts of the job was when the patients had pets! Frequently, their pets warmed up to me as soon as I was welcomed in to do my work, which would always brighten up my day. Of course, I have pets myself. I've been caring for my cat, Winslow, for about a year and a half now. He's fantastically affectionate and he's been an excellent companion in my home. I also help my parents with their cats, since I live with them at the moment. As one last note, at my last job I attained a CPR certification from the American Heart Association. Human focused, of course, but I stilled learned the signs of a crisis in living beings and what to do when life hangs in the balance. I hope never to have to use said skills, but if a pet has a delicate health situation, I am equipped to get them the help they need if things take a turn for the worse. I am between jobs at the moment, so my schedule is about as open as it gets. I have my own responsibilities to tend to with my cat, but my parents can take care of him if your furry friend needs me around all day. First things first is a meet and greet to make sure your pet is comfortable around me. Once your pet and I have made each-other's acquaintance, we'll talk about how you usually go about caring for them yourself so we don't throw a wrench in their habits. If you're having me spend time in your home, we'll talk about how you expect me to conduct myself while house sitting.

About: I've had dogs for more than 15 years. Different personalities. I've had mine from 1 year old to 13 years old and we still are walking multiple times a day. In most cases I like animals more than people because of their unconditional love. I'm currently working afternoons for a family in Boulder. I have a flexible schedule within the hours of 10:30 - 2:00, Monday through Friday weekly. I will take dogs on leash walks as determined by the owner. If owner just wants the dog to play in their fenced yard, I can do that as well.

About: I grew up with a dog and two cats. One of my cats had a UTI and so she was on medicated food. I am very good with elderly cats and dogs and understand the necessity of medications and routines. I currently own two young cats and I will take care of your lovely pet the way you take care of them while you're away! I own a small business (Scent Haven) and so I'm usually busy on Saturday mornings and on Wednesday nights. However, I have a very flexible schedule to watch your lovely cat(s) or dog(s). If there is a date and time I cannot do I am willing to work you on days you need me. I care for my pets safety and well-being as my number 1 priority. I have a feeding schedule and make sure to watch for any abnormal behavior. I grew up with a Pomeranian as well and I can walk your dogs and play with them if they just need a friend!

“My little guy is a tough cookie to crack. He is a bit worried and stand off-ish with new people. Thank you Izzy for being as calm and patient as you were with him! He came around to you ❣️”

About: I’m a caring, loving and energetic person who loves animals. I have worked with dogs, cats, ferrets, rats, bunnies and horses. I love to give animals all kinds of love and treats. For long term care I provide pup cups from Starbucks or DQ and lots of cuddles. For extended stays I love spoiling animals with food, treats, cuddles as we watch a movie and provide basic cleaning for the house. I’m a graduate student at CSU and my classes are online so I have tons of flexibility to be there for your animals. I live in Longmont but willing to drive as south to Arvada, or north towards Fort Collins. I love to give pets a nice brush out and scratches, then we go for a walk or type of excersise do half hour with a treat and cuddles at the end of the day. I like to use pet safe sun block on dogs and shoes on pavement depending on the temperature outside. Also bring snacks and water for your pets while we do our walk.

About: Hello! My name is Khristina. I’m a remote working RN in Colorado. I started using Rover back in college and loved caring for pets of all kinds—each one with their own personality and quirks! My husband and I took a 2 year break from Rover to focus on caring for our sweet senior dog, Moses, who sadly passed last year. After having time to mourn and adjust to the loss, we are ready to open our hearts and home again to caring for others’ pets and treating them like our own. We offer boarding, doggy daycare, drop-in visits and dog walking. If you’re outside my service area, I’m happy to discuss a small mileage fee or flexible options. We do not have any pets or children in the house. Boarding and Doggy Daycare: - We will only watch one pet at a time unless they are from the same household. - We do not allow pets on furniture. - We prefer to do meet and greets beforehand. We may have more questions before booking if that is not possible. I’m very familiar for caring for our aging friends and understand how hard it can be to take time for ourselves while worrying about them. I am familiar with complex medication regimes, mobility assistance and wound management. If you have any questions or would like to talk about your pet’s specific needs, I’d love to connect! My husband and I both work from home. Normally I work 3 x 12 hour shifts a week. This gives me a lot of free time that I like to fill by watching your furry loved one. I have a fenced in yard that is perfect for pups to sunbath and get for added outdoor time, but it is not a grass area. Dogs will need to be able to walk on a leash. Our house has a few steps in the front that a dog will have to go down to get outside. We have most supplies needed for dogs from beds, crates, toys and bowls.

“Robin is always so good with my pup!! My dog is scared of everyone and Robin has really grown on my dog and now my pup really looks forward to walks.”

About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, fish, birds, horses, reptiles, and exotic animals. I also volunteered at a wildlife sanctuary, where I worked with horses and a variety of exotic species. That experience taught me how to understand animal behavior, stay calm in new situations, and provide patient, attentive care. I know every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, quiet companionship, playtime, or simply sticking to their daily schedule, I’ll treat them with kindness, patience, and the same level of care I’d want for my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, happy, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I recently graduated from high school and currently have an open, flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Because pet sitting is my primary focus right now, I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, overnight, and weekend visits. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality so I can help them feel comfortable and keep their routine as normal as possible while you’re away. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep it clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well.
