Dog Walking Monument

About: Our pets are our family and they should be treated as such ❤️. I am a full time nurse and do not need this job but I have two dogs that were very difficult and stubborn to train and I would have loved to have someone like me to be there if I went out of town or on vacation because I only ever trusted myself with them. I never went on vacation in their younger years because I was so scared someone would be mean to them or not care for them like I would if I boarded them. So I have decided to do this part time because every pet should be treated with love and care because they ARE our family ❤️🐾. I assure you, you won’t be disappointed if you trusted me with your family. I love all animals so much and quite frankly we don’t deserve their love and loyalty ❤️. Please choose me! I am working full time so I won’t be able to take all jobs but please reach out and I will try to make it happen. My schedule fluctuates so I can’t give certain days but if I am off work I will be there. I will treat your dog as you would just let me know any restrictions, dietary concerns, medications if they take them, certain ways they like things done or special things you would like done for your loved one and it will be done.

“Emily did an amazing job with Jake, my 2 year old Golden Retriever. I can't believe the difference in Jake over the last 4 days. He is much more relaxed on our walks. Thank you very much. I look forward to having you care for Jake while I'm at work. I know he is in good hands.”

About: I graduated with a 4.0 in Vet Assisting at PIMA. I've grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I personally own a 5 year old English Bulldog, a 13 year old cat and my 12 year old leopard gecko has passed. I love animal-loving people, animals and helping them! I have full availability at the moment as I look for other employment. I would love to give some of my attention to a pet in need of sitting or daily walks! My dog stays in a crate while I'm away from home and at night. He likes to snuggle every morning. We go to the dog park at least twice a week. My cat always has food, fresh water, and a cleaned daily litter box. My lizard had a clean cage and was fed 1 to every 3 days with meal worms or a super worm as a treat.

About: Animals have always been one of the biggest joys in my life. I’ve spent years caring for pets of all ages and personalities - from playful kittens and energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and love. In addition to having my own wonderful pack at home, I’ve fostered animals for the Humane Society and volunteered with local rescues. Those experiences have taught me that every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and what help them feel safe and happy! I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and cats and understand the gentle care, patience, and attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, medication or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, Ill care for them as if they were my own. I am a stay at home mom to two boys, I stay very active outside and I am always around for you pets needs. Pet care is a perfect fit for my schedule. I understand having a stranger in your home can be stressful. I think a meet and greet before had is a great idea to put you and your animals at ease. I am very respectful of your space and home.

“Friendly, reliable, flexible. My dog is usually pretty shy but she warmed up to Michele almost instantly. Will be reaching out to her next time I need help with my pup.”

About: I offer attentive, reliable pet care tailored to each dog’s needs. I have a 10 month old Golden Retriever who is friendly, playful, and loves every dog, creating a positive and social environment. I’m experienced with puppy routines, basic training reinforcement, and administering medications. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication so you can feel confident your pet is in loving, capable hands. I work from home most days, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision, and I can easily adjust my schedule to match your pet’s routine. I do not have a fenced yard but our apartment has a fenced dog park. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets are treated like family. My own pet is my world, and I bring that same level of care, attention, and responsibility to every animal I look after.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12, I currently have 3 of my own. I have been doing animal behavior and training courses for eight years, and understand the best ways to make a dog feel comfortable and confident. I have worked with puppies all the way to senior dogs. I am also comfortable working with reactive dogs (to an extent). My own dog is reactive, and I know the best methods to keep a dog focused and safe during a high stress event. I will always do my best to keep the routine your animals have, as change can be stressful to them. I am a hybrid student so I am extremely flexible and able to come spend as much time as needed with your pet(s). I can accommodate almost any needs! Making sure a dog is safe is the number one priority. I will always ask your dogs comfort level around strangers, new dogs, cars, squirrels… and so on. This will allow me to tailor my care to ensure your dog gets the best experience possible and you don’t have to worry about anything happening.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, from friends to family, to mostly the luxury of my own home. I have had the pleasure to live with six big beautiful dogs. Three Great Danes, Two Great Dane/ Saint Bernards, and a Rottweiler. I have taken care of animals all shapes, sizes, and ages. I promise to love your babies as I love mine! I am in school part time, so I will have plenty of time to watch over your babies and make sure they have plenty of necessities to get them through the day/night. With providing the service to stay in your home, I will make sure to treat your home with respect and care. All while making sure it is a safe and happy environment for your animals while I’m there.

“Charlize was great with my our dog Canela, she agreed to meet beforehand to get to know her and put us at ease! On the day of the walk, she was punctual and did a great job. Excellent communication throughout the service and great pet sitter:)”

About: I grew up with 6 bulldogs who needed attention both medically, physically, and emotionally. I genuinely love dogs and treat all of them like my own; understanding that dogs are family! I recently graduated from high school ant Palmer Ridge and am attending HVAC school in the fall at Pikes Peak ( this program will be part-time leaving me time to care for dogs). I enjoy caring for dogs in their own environment as I have found many dogs become stressed when they have to adapt to new environments. I appreciate detailed instructions on your dogs feeding and activity level to in order to best take care of them!

About: Neighbors have relied on me to check in with, feed, and play with their pets. I have walked neighborhood dogs and looked after local cats when owners traveled before. Additionally, my time volunteering at the Humane Society taught me how to handle animals safely, read their body language, and give them the dedicated love and care they deserve. I am currently a college student, so I have plenty of free time off over the summer to dedicate entirely to pet care! My open schedule allows me to easily accommodate midday check-ins, flexible dog walking times, and extended playtime. I can effortlessly adapt to your pet's normal routine to ensure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need throughout the week. I provide a calm, clean environment where your pet will feel completely comfortable and relaxed. I always prioritize safety and structure during my visits, ensuring doors and gates are secure at all times. To give you peace of mind while you are away, I will send frequent photo and text updates so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and having fun.

About: I was a certified veterinary technician for many years, obtaining my associates degree in veterinary technology from Front Range Community College, and obtaining my internship hours at Colorado State University school of veterinary medicine. I am comfortable taking care of all ages of pets from puppies and kittens to the geriatrics who need medication and extra care.. I am a stay at home mom with my youngest kids now in high school. I am available most days for same-day appointments and my schedule is extremely flexible. Your pets will receive love affection and their daily needs met during their drop in appointments. Walks are also available if that is part of the service that they require.

“We had a great experience with Sarah J. walking our dog today and would not hesitate to hire her again! She was very sweet with our 90# Bluetick Coonhound and Sadie Blue took to her right away. Sarah sent us updates and pictures of our dog during and after the walk which I truly appreciated! At the conclusion of her walk, we had one very happy and tired pup! Thank-you Sarah!!”

About: I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog's individual needs. I understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks or prefers a slower pace and extra reassurance, I'll adapt my care to what works best for them. I've cared for dogs with different temperaments, including one with height anxiety, so I'm comfortable staying calm and adjusting my approach to help dogs feel safe and secure. My time at military college and volunteer work ant Zoos also strengthened my discipline, responsibility, and attention to detail—qualities I bring to every visit. You can count on me to follow your instructions carefully, communicate with you, and treat your pet with the same kindness and respect I'd want for my own. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. I have three dogs of my own, including two puppies I'm currently raising and training, so I'm used to planning my day around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving them the attention they need. Caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, not just something I fit into my schedule. I'm also a part-time college student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I make it a priority to be dependable, communicate with owners, and ensure every pet receives the same level of care and attention I'd want for my own dogs. I care for every pet with patience, consistency, and kindness. I know that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to understand what makes them feel safe and happy. Whether it's going for a walk, playing their favorite game, providing fresh food and water, or simply keeping them company, I make sure they're getting the attention and care they deserve. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise routines, and any special requests. I also pay close attention to a dog's body language and behavior so I can respond to their needs and help them feel comfortable. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel confident, relaxed, and cared for while you're apart.

“Megan did a great job! She replied to my request quickly and showed up on time. She did great with the million things I told her about the dogs. She is a very sweet person and the dogs loved her immediately when they met her. I 100% trust her and would refer others to her.”

About: We are a loving family that have plenty of space and play area for dogs to run and be part of the family. As long as your dog is great with kids and other dogs I would be a great fit! We have a fully unfinished basement with walk out to the backyard we plan to make a doggy play area. If you are in the area and need to feel secure knowing your baby is taken care of than this is the place. Please bring favorite toy, food, treats, bowl, or crate/bedding (if needed). Also please give instructions as to specific care or requirements for your pup. While you are out enjoying all Colorado has to offer, your pup will never know you were gone to long.

About: I have had a dog since I was 4, who recently passed but am friends with many more friends that have dogs, and I have dogsat for them too! I take care of pets every day, I also take care of my friends dogs! I have also cared for cats, I love pets and could fit them into my daily and weekly very well! I will play, walk, feed, any pet depending on the owners needs! I care deeply for animals and will make sure they get the love they deserve!

“Thank you so much!!! Great walks, prompt, Hobbes loved Josh!!”

“Cody gives Lily a great walk 2x per week. She is an anxious, excitable dog, and his demeanor puts her at ease, and his walking pace keeps her fit! We really appreciate his giving her extra attention when we are busy during the week. We were hesitant first time Rover users, and now Highly recommend!”
