Dog Walkers in Ophir, CO

About: Hello fellow dog lovers! With over 20 years of experience owning and caring for dogs, I understand the deep bond between humans and their furry companions. I’ve recently moved to Silverton and, though I cannot host pets in my rental, I’d love to take your dog for a walk or house sit where they feel most comfortable- your home! I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide care both during and outside of regular business hours. Whether it’s a midday walk, evening playtime or weekend adventure, I’m here to ensure your dog receives the attention, love and exercise they deserve. If you book me for pet sitting in your home, you can feel at ease knowing that I will respect your space and make it a goal of mine to leave your space as clean (or cleaner!) than how I arrived. Let’s connect and discuss how I can offer your dog the right care and attention to make you feel comfortable when you can’t be with them. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule! I can provide pet services within or outside of regular business hours- let’s discuss your pets needs and I can likely fit them in to my schedule, no problem! I love clients who offer detailed lists of their pets needs and daily routines! I used to do the same with my dog and know that following something like this gives everyone involved (dogs included!) ease of mind.

About: I have 2 Bernese mountain Dogs and a grey cat. We like to go for hikes and frequent trips to the river. I’ve watched friends, family and neighbors pets and would love to play with yours! I have three days off a week. Work weeks are flexible. I work 5min from home and have a pet camera. I am able to take long breaks around every 4 hrs while being home after 4 We have plenty of toys and a field in front our house. We have two friendly dogs and a cat. We are close to many walking trails.

About: I have owned dogs my entire life and dog/cat sit regularly. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. As a local, I know how to care for your dog appropriately in town. Currently working part time so I have lots of time to play with your furry friends! I’m an active person who loves being outdoors and would love to take your pets with me. But I also have a lot of experience caring for pets in a home setting of all shapes, sizes, and ages! I make safety a priority in your home and when getting exercise. I will take care with the food they eat, how they are walked, and during play time.

About: I grew up on a small hobby farm where I learned to care for household pets and basic livestock. I've cared for anxious/medicated dogs before, raised baby goats who lost their mother, and cared for many senior animals making them as comfortable as possible in their old age. I currently do not have pets as I travel far too often, so Rover is also a fantastic outlet for me to get to experience the pleasantries of animals without the full-time commitment. I currently run my own business so I have the privilege of creating my own hours. My schedule is incredible flexible, and can easily cater to your needs. When staying in my clients homes, I always make sure to leave the place cleaner than when I found it. I'm always quick with my responses when clients check in with how things are going. I love the outdoors and your pup would accompany me on hiking excursions or long walks if desired! For all my feline friends, as much as I love to stay active, I also enjoy my down time where I can curl up with a good book. So whether it be a day of play, or maintaining your home while you're out of town, I got you covered! I live in a converted school bus, so days where I take your furry friends into my care will mostly consist of playing fetch at the park, long walks and hikes, and basically being out in the fresh air every minute we get! Thank you for considering my services, I can't wait to hear from you!

About: Dogs that come visit usually have a blast being part of the pack and end up learning some desirable behaviors with my 2 service animals Bellie and Lola. I am a retired veteran so i am free to work with dogs all day everyday, its very rewarding and works great with my schedule. I have a couple of runners set up and shade structures. When it is hot I let the dogs inside. I take the dogs out to play with my pack often. We will go on walks, throw frizbee, play tag, practice tricks, etc. I like to take the dogs swimming too if thats permitted by the owners before hand ( I have doggy life jackets).

“Caleb is a great dog walker if you’re visiting Ouray with your fur baby and will have to leave them for the day. He took great care of my pup and my parents dog as well. Sent us pictures, an update and even spent extra time with them. We’re so glad he was able to see our girls while we were out and about! Thanks Caleb!”

About: I started out my pet-sitting business by taking care of people's home gardens when they left town. Many of my clients had pets and asked me to pet-sit while they were away. Over the years I have obtained many loyal clients who feel confident that their precious babies are being looked after with lots of loving attention. I am a caregiver at heart and I show my love by engaging with the animals, belly rubs, long walks and by anticipating needs! I take detailed notes of dietary requirements, allergies and other medical conditions and will very carefully cater to every need. I quickly bond with animals since I give my full love and attention and and go above and beyond to make them happy! I always miss the animals when I have to leave them! Thank you for your kind consideration!

“Awesome service!!! Minnie was loved and taken care of while we were away! Thank you so much!!!”

About: I’ve had a variety of pets (dogs, cats, lizards, fish, tarantulas) my entire life. I thoroughly enjoy taking care of our best buddies. I love going outdoors with our furry friends for some fun and exercise. I work from home, and have a very flexible schedule! I am available with full access to transportation to meet your pet caring needs anytime anyplace. Our pet’s well being is first and foremost. I treat my animals just like one of the “pack”, they are family members, and just like family, their needs are just as important as anyone else’s in the house.

About: I recently lost my dog of 11 years, a sweet, catahoula pit mix. I gained experience in puppy training, handling dog aggressive behavior and senior care. Please let me know your dogs needs so I can give you both the best experience and care! I work from home as a realtor and take a daily walk/hike for at least 2miles/an hour. Happy to schedule in lots of potty breaks in the fenced backyard and little trips to the treat store and parks too. I’m a lonely nester without my beloved bean dog! I have all the things a dog could want and need at my place- treats, beds, blankets, bowls and tons of love! I can’t wait to take your dog on tons of adventures outside and around the neighborhood.

About: I grew up having dogs, cats, fish, rodents, snakes, turtles, lizards, all sorts! I then went on to work for five years on ranches with working cattle dogs, livestock and training dogs and horses. Loads of experience watching ranches and their nonhuman inhabitants while the parents are out for the holidays, etc. Always love making new pet friends (and otherwise). I have a very flexible schedule as I have several part time pursuits which are fairly free to rearrange as needed. I work primarily as a blacksmith, and would love the excuse to get out and see some pups! There is a wide array of different ideas about how to raise an animal, as there are many individual animals! I am willing to take the necessary time and energy to understand your particular pets needs in order to comfortably care for them. Id love to meet your pet on their terms at home, out at a neutral zone, on the river trail or wherever! Love walking through neighbourhoods, running around outside, picking my way up steep terrain and am Always happy to go to the dog park as well (Duh).

About: Experience with a variety of pets and temperaments, I love the outdoors and am happy to tire a energetic pup out or hang out on the porch with a senior dog and everything in-between. I also love and grew up with cats! My schedule is fairly flexible, I work in town and there for am easily accessible to take your dog on a walk/ fulfill your pets needs easily! I follow instructions laid out by owners for their respective pets and am open to caring for pets in clients home and following up with any training if needed, as well as leaving my clients home clean after my care.
