“Grace was wonderful! I needed someone to walk my dogs last minute after a different arrangement fell through and Grace was able to do so. She is clearly very responsible and the dogs loved her. I’m sure we’ll be using her services again!”


About: I have experience of maintaining safe and clean environments for dogs within doggy daycare settings! I am comfortable with any breed and size of dog. I have experience with dog walking, redirecting behaviors, and bathing. As a dog and animal lover I have a few fur babies myself! I have a Pembroke welsh corgi puppy Finn that is friendly with all animals, a tortie cat Ginnie that also gets along with any animal-Me and my fiancée Kris just adopted the sweetest 3 year old husky Daisy, as she is in her adjusting period of our home (and us) I will have her separate from any possible boarders and withhold involvement in meet and greets. My parents have their golden retriever Bodie who lives within our home but separately! I have always had a passion for working and being with animals and would love to continue by taking care of animals in my daily routine I always make sure to be home to have enough time for my animals as they are my top priority and I would strive to do the same for yours. I am fortunate enough to always have someone home with the pups-as my fiancée Kris and parents live with me as well. ⭐️ Returning customers or new- I appreciate you putting trust into me with your pet(s). Being a pet mom myself i understand how important your fur babies mean to you. I appreciate your support and kindness and all of the kind reviews⭐️ Pets in my home co exist. Both of my dogs are crate trained and they sleep in there at night or when I am out of the house. I am comfortable having animals in my animals space or them having their own space. I have a separate area if needed for separation during feeding or for resting time. Back yard is fenced in and has plenty of space for walks and off leash play time and potty breaks (please see attached photos in profile of yard).

About: I've always believed life is better with fur on your clothes and after years of caring for my own pets, I turned that passion into something bigger. Now I get to spend my days doing what I love most: caring for your four-legged family members while you're away. I make sure your pet gets the attention, love, and care they deserve. As a lifelong pet parent myself, I get how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family. That's why I treat every cat and dog like one of my own with patience, playfulness, and lots of love. So whether your dog needs a walking buddy or your cat needs someone to chat with while you're out, I'm here to help with a leash in one hand and a lint roller in the other. Fully insured. I am devoting all of my time to dog walking and pet sitting, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pet. I am happy to come to your home to care for your pet for either dog walking or pet sitting. I will care for your pet as if it were my own!

“Thanks for the awesome service and care to my two big dogs throughout 3 days that I was away. First time leaving my dogs at home verses boarding, and thanks to your communication and commitment it was perfect!”


About: My first pet was Max, a cat. We met when I first got home from the hospital. My second pet was Tigger, a striped kitty, who was my best friend from adolescence to adulthood. I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’ve been pet-sitting for friends and family since I could stay home on my own. I currently have an older Aussie named Rain, who I adopted in Colorado. We would regularly go to dog parks, people parks, hiking in the mountains, and any other adventure we could find. My family recently lost our Pitbull and our two kitties to old age. So I do have experience taking care of aging pets. As well as experience administering pills - even for cats. While I was in college, I worked at a doggie daycare kennel for a short while. I fed, bathed, and walked dogs. I fed cats, as well, and monitored the daycare room. And when I lived in Colorado, I volunteered for the Denver Dumb Friends League (animal shelter). There, I wrote copy for the available dogs, so I’d often go meet with the dogs and walk them so I could write something good. I also played with kittens because I could. I’m currently only working part time with a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit your fur-baby into my schedule in a way that works best for him or her. I’m happy to meet you somewhere prior to my visit for an introduction! If it’s a last minute need, we can video chat so you can show me where everything is and we can go over any specifics. If all goes well and you need a more regular schedule, I’m happy to talk about that after my first visit! If the service being requested is a neighborhood walk, I will treat your pup as if they are my own and keep them safe. If you have a fenced yard and the service is just to let them out, I’ll make sure to keep them company while they do their business. And they will get lots of pets and love while I’m there!!

About: I’ve always had a place in my heart for animals and have been volunteering at shelters for over 3 years! I’m not just here to feed and walk, I build trust. I take the time to approach each animal with patience, adapting to their comfort and energy level. Whether it’s a high energy puppy who needs an adventure or a shy cat who just wants quiet companionship, I tune in and make sure their needs are met with love and respect. I am a special education teacher with the summer off! I’m totally flexible right now, once school is back in session I will have evenings and weekends available. Trust is everything! To build a trusting relationship I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates and photos during each visit so you can feel connected and confident while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick drop in or a longer stay, I am always tidy, respectful, and focused on creating a calm, happy environment for your pet!

About: I have taken care of and loved many different types of pets over the years! We have had dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, Guinea pigs, fish, and the list goes on! I would love to care for your babies too! I am currently unemployed and have lots of free time to care for your “family”! I am available any day and time. You can book ahead or last minute. I can come to your home once or twice a day to feed and play with your pets. Happy to discuss any other arrangements as they arise! I’m here to help you!


“Thank you Amy and Scott for a great first visit with Leo! I was very worried about how Leo would do but Amy and Scott made the visit very easy and stresa free! Leo enjoyed his walk and was very comfortable with them!”


“Jackie is so good to our pup! She’s a very caring person and responds very quickly to our messages. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet… Jackie is the person to go to! Our pup loves his walks with Jackie :)”


“Courtney has been an absolute God send! Colt loves her. She goes above and beyond to give my pup the quality time he needs on my long work day. I trust her completely and highly recommend her for anyone in need of a dog walker.”

About: As a life long pet owner I have happily cared for countless cats (feral & domesticated) as well as dogs , horses while finishing my degrees and raising 3 children. I am very experienced caregiver. I am semi-retired and have great flexibility in my schedule as I own a business with my husband. Time management is necessary as I have 5 cats and 3 dogs that all have unique medical and or general needs. I will treat your pet and its needs as I would my own animals.

About: Hi! I'm an experienced and compassionate animal lover with a lifelong passion for pet care. I currently care for my large senior dog and recently said goodbye to another beloved pup after 20 wonderful years together. I also have a senior cat who’s been with me since childhood, so I’m very familiar with the needs of aging pets. Growing up, I spent a lot of time with my grandparents who fostered dogs of all breeds and sizes—including a deaf dog. I know sign language, so if your dog is deaf, I’m more than happy to communicate in a way that works for them. I'm also very comfortable handling strong, energetic dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and care. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, playtime, or attentive sitting, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and well-cared for. I work part time so I can walk your dog almost any time, I just need to make sure I’m not working during that time. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick visit, staying overnight, or taking your pup for a walk, I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. During walks, I ensure your dog gets the exercise they need while staying safe and engaged. I’m attentive to their pace, energy level, and any leash or behavioral needs. For drop-in visits, I check that your pet has fresh water, food (if needed), and some quality playtime or snuggles. I also clean up after them and make sure everything is in order before I leave. When house sitting, I stick to your pet’s normal routine—feeding, walks, medications, and bedtime rituals—so they feel as at home as possible in their own space. I also keep your home tidy and secure while you're away. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities!

About: I am very observant and cautious and I have house sat many different kinds of dogs such as my own chihuahua for 14 years. Also saint Bernard mix, chihuahua mixes, many different pit bulls as well. I have walking exsperience as well with many different breeds such as the ones I listed above. Happy to accommodate any etiquette or preferences while under my care! :) It fits beautifully, I am unemployed, have a reliable car, home all day. I already go on walks regularly and I'd like to do it more, plus this gives me an excuse to see a super cute dog and have us both get exercise together ❤️ I dont have pets at my home at the moment, hope that changes this year. I am willing to do any protocol for my clients as needed for everyone to feel safe.
