Dog Walking in Montrose

About: If there’s one thing I have learned from owning cats and a dog all of my life, it is that animals are insistent, energetic, and very receptive to our care. I have a lot of experience in caring for my Jack Russell Terrier while my mom was working or away. I also cared for my cats, Princess, Noodles, & Gug Gus, who have all been through various rounds medical treatment. I am very attention-oriented and strive to ensure my pets are comfortable and healthy! I'm currently a graduate student and working full time in Montrose. I'm available before 7:30a and after 4-5p. I'm available most weekends, apart from various weekend trips during the summer. I provide a safe experience for the pets that I’m sitting by always using a gentle approach when taking care of their needs to make them feel as safe as possible.

About: Hi there! I am a pet sitter with 7 years of professional experience and I’ve loved every second of it! I have just moved on from working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility in Park City Utah, where I was in charge of the health and happiness of many families loved fur babies. I think I had more fun there than they did, and that’s saying something! When your life gets busy and you can’t take the pets, I’d love to love them for you! This is my full time job, so just check the schedule and see what time I have available for you. I like to book a week ahead. I can only come to your home to over night board pets. Unfortunately my home is a bit chaotic and I’ve found pets are more relaxed in their safe environment. This could be changed in the future the more I get to know the pet. For daily pop-ins, I leave it open to you and what your pet would like most. Walks around your neighborhood, walks on trails in Montrose, or the dog park. Completely customizable.

“Karissa was terrific! She met with us the night before her shift and our dog took to her immediately. The next day she showed up on time and gave him a nice long walk. We really appreciated knowing that he was well taken care of while we were away sight seeing. We highly, highly recommend Karissa.”

About: I provide more than basic dog sitting—I tailor care to each dog’s age and needs. I have experience with puppies (reinforcing potty training, routines, and basic commands) and senior dogs (gentle care, medication support, and comfort monitoring). I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and follow your dog’s routine closely. Most importantly, I treat every dog like my own and keep you updated so you have peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins. I’m consistent with routines, whether that’s early mornings, midday visits, or evening care, and I make time for updates and communication. Caring for pets isn’t an add-on for me—it’s a priority I build my week around. I provide attentive, routine-based care in both my home and my client’s home, depending on what works best for the pet. In my home, I create a calm, safe environment with consistent feeding schedules, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of supervised play and attention. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care like medications or training reinforcement. I also keep your home tidy and provide regular updates so you know your pet is safe and happy.
