Local Adventures for Furry Friends

Pet care experience

I love Colorado and I love seeing animals enjoying this incredible landscape. I own and run a summer camp and when I’m not hiking with kiddos - I prefer to have a dog nearby. My Bruce is sadly getting old and rickety and I can’t take him on our long hikes anymore. I’d love to take you pooch on the hundreds of miles of wilderness trails nearby, grab some great photos for you and watch them shine.

Joel does such a great job with our pups. Completely trust him with our little fur babies. Does a great job communicating and taking pictures!

Safety, trust & environment

A tired dog is a good dog, but a happy dog is a great one. I hope to check both those boxes. Dogs want to explore, sniff, cross an open field, climb a mountain or splash in a waterfront - I’m happy to follow their lead and their speed. Safety comes first, then joy!

Information Joel V. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know as much as you’re willing to share. What behavior should I expect on our walks? How do they respond to unfamiliar dogs, people, children. What form of praise and rewards are most effective? Are there any activities I should avoid? Thank you!

A typical day

Wake up with some coffee for me and play for the pups in our giant 1 acre fenced yard. After that we take our first hike to the nearby dog park, creek, lake or mountain trail. Then some food, water, pets and rest. Later we’ll have some more play in the yard and an evening walk.
