Dog Walking Palisade

About: Dogs have been in my life since I was a young teen. Neighbors, family & friends have relied on me to walk, feed and care for their pets while away from home. I have experience with special needs, puppies, senior and dogs of all ages. My work schedule is flexible allowing me to easily schedule times for regular pet walks and play time. Especially during the cooler times of day. My yard is fenced with shady areas for the warmer days and a doggie door for paw traffic. Both, front & back house doors open into fenced yards.

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of caring for animals of every kind. I love dogs and cats, and all animals . Your pet will receive patient, dependable, loving care and personalized attention while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m self-employed, don’t currently work a full-time job, and my children are grown and out of the house. I have reliable transportation, a flexible schedule, and plenty of time to provide dependable, attentive care for your pets whenever you need it. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, have a strong work ethic, and believe every animal deserves kindness, respect, and attentive care. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, exercise, playtime, affection, and any medications or special care they need. I believe animals know when they are loved, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

“Robert is a great caretaker for our pets. He is diligent to follow the instructions asked of him and I 100% know they are happy with him! Great pet sitter.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I love animals because they make me happy! What else makes me happy is helping other people out to take care of there fur babies :) I have experience of watching dogs and cats. I am very active and love spending time with animals I work full time! From 7:30 am to 5pm I am free in the evenings and weekends! On Mondays I work half days. I get done at 12pm It is me and my corgi and my apartment. I do have a patio it is unfenced. My corgi is a runner. I take him on walks, dog park or my parents back yard

“One of the best dog sitters we've had the pleasure of working with! Melanie was on the ball: never a food time missed or a walk uncounted. She sent us great pictures of the dogs and was punctual, communicated beautifully and made us feel like our dogs were in great hands. We appreciate her professionalism every step of the way. We would not hesitate to ask her again to watch our dogs, and feel honored she gave us her time and expertise. Thank you so much, Melanie!!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I most recently had two dogs, a chihuahua and rotty mix. One big and one small dog! I currently live in a tiny apartment, so I try to find ways to get my dog fix in. I regularly volunteer to walk dogs at local shelters here in Grand Junction. I have experience with small and large dogs of all age ranges. I’m punctual with my schedules and can be relied on to make timely visits or give medications/food. I’m also comfortable house sitting your home and keeping up on all your chores/needs while you are away! I work seasonally for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, so in my off season I have lots of extra time to take care of pups I have a gentle demeanor when meeting/walking new to me dogs. I can adjust my care to suit whatever needs your dog may have

“Shelby is always so reliable and responsive. My dog always looks so happy in the pictures after her walks!”

About: I'm a single mother to a 8 1/2 year old boy & we absolutely love having dogs in home with us! We currently have no dogs of our own, since losing our pitbull in 2018. Losing her was difficult, as she was with us through the most trying times- after my son's father passed away suddenly. She helped care for us & I'm looking for some furry little loves to share our home and time with to help fill her absence, as well as those fur parents who need loving sitters! I'm currently working part-time, and would love to have a couple fur babies to spend time with at home with my son in our down time. We are home literally every night, and I have a flexible schedule. I have one older kitty who lives in my room. He's completely closed off from all dogs and has never had any altercations, as his presence typically goes undetected. We have many dogs who are our regulars that are not cat friendly & have never seen him, as we keep my bedroom door closed. He also sleeps behind closed closet doors every night, so the there is no night mischief. We try to take two walks a day when dogs are with us, weather permitting! We take dogs to walk in grassy parks when the pavement is too hot. We live in a townhouse that has a fenced back yard that we share with two other rentals; we're a triplex. There is only one other dog in the community that is dog/human/kid friendly - although my neighbor and I typically peek out before letting the dogs loose so they have the yard to themselves. My back yard faces an open field on the edge of town, providing an incredibly safe, tucked away, and quiet neighborhood. My son is a loving child who displays love and sympathy for dogs. He loves to help, play, feed, give treats, and help walk them when the dog & him are appropriately matched. We've been operating for 4 years now and have taken care of homes, bunnies, chickens, dogs, goats, cats, and are willing to help with other house sitting duties such as picking up packages, mail, and watering gardens & plants. Thanks for considering us! *Please be aware of personal cancelation policy.* My schedule is flexible and I'm around a lot, thankfully. I usually run out for 4 hours on Mondays and Thursdays for my part time job. We abide by all owner rules! We have space for crates, and try to make it as easy going as possible! We have extra toys, treats, bowls, beds & belly rubs!

About: I've been taking care of pets for most of my life. I worked at a doggie daycare & boarding business for a couple of years. I'm now going out on my own and would love to take care of your fur babies while you're out. I've been around all breeds and sizes and understand their many different traits and personalities. I love playtime and walking. It is as much fun for me as it is for them. I've administered meds and worked specifically with dogs that needed specialized medical attention. Communication is important to me, as it is to you, so please let me know what you expect. No detail is too small. I can provide updates and photos if you request it; otherwise, I will not take up any of your time while you're away unless a concern arises. I love snuggles and look forward to making your fur babies feel as comfortable and happy as possible. Taking care of animals is just part of my everyday life! I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping a good routine. I love being around animals and easily fit pet care into my day. I try to keep things as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible. I follow instructions carefully, give lots of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also send updates so owners know their pets are doing great!

About: I grew up on a farm with cats, dogs, pigs, goats and horses! I worked with a breeder so I have lots of experience with puppies and mothers. Most dogs I've spent time with are high energy dogs like Australian shepard's but I've also spent time with low energy like Saint Bernards. I am a travel occupational therapist currently taking a break from moving around. Currently not working so I am very free! I love morning walks. I live in a camper but your fur baby will not be home alone! Our campground has a fenced dog run and I would love to visit some parks if comfortable. I can visit your pet within their home at any time of day.

“We really appreciated working with Angela. She worked with us on short notice. Angela is prompt, always pleasant, and she communicated with our dog Bruce specifically as though he was her client. A real professional who showed our dog loving kindness. Really perfect for Bruce and us!! We will definitely work with Angela again!”

About: I have had pets of all sorts my entire life. My earliest memories are of helping my parents care for and train each litter of our Siberian husky puppies before they go to they're forever homes. I am currently a stay at home mom to my 3yr old son and 1yr old daughter. We just bought a 1200sqft house in OM with a privacy fenced yard and doggy door. You're pet will have the freedom to go in and out as they please . If I go anywhere between 8 am- 5pm Mon-Fri I have to take my kids with otherwise I'm free. You can also find pictures and videos on my Facebook page Victoria's Bark-tastic Doggy Daycare! I have a roughly 12 year old miniature schnauzer that wasn't the most sociable guy when I met him about 7 years ago. Since then I have been taking him out to new places and to meet other dogs. He has two Great Dane friends he plays with well. Mostly him bouncing off of them and having them chase him. He also likes to lay flat in the grass and wait for them to get close then pounce at them to get them to chase him. He couldn't care less about toys but loves a good quality treat. I can bring him along upon request! My kids absolutely love dogs and are always gentle and respectful. My son loves to throw toys for them and give them treats. He even makes our dog sit before giving him a treat. He also gets to play with the Danes! He loves going around and finding a good stick to give them to chew on. My daughter absolutely loves to give nice pets ( with supervision) and loves to watch them play. I have to bring them with me before 4pm. So if you're looking to provide your dog with some new social situations I'm your gal! I do have to ask that you request care atleast a few days before drop off that way we can do a meet and greet to make sure there will be no issues during your pets stay. I also live down a shared driveway please park somewhere on the street and i will meet you down there. I am up every day between 6-7 am to start the days chores before the sun gets to high. We've got a lawn, two flower beds and a veggies garden to care for. Afterwards I get the kiddos ready for school. Once they've been dropped off my senior dog and I go on our morning nieborhood walk through the park and back. We would love for your pup to join us! As a SAHM i have free time all the way up until 3:30 for school pick up. Each pup is an individual with thier own quirks. Therefore care is modified per each pets needs. For example I would take a 3 year old hound on a much longer sniffy walk than I would a 10 year old lab. Being in Colorado i also account for weather and can modify the days activities if outside is not an option.

“She is great with dogs and has a true passion for them. My pups love her visits and she spends good quality time with them. I'm so happy to have her help”

About: As an animal lover, I've grown up with cats, dogs, fish, and reptiles. I'm quiet and gentle with every pet I meet, and have an eye for detail and commitment to routine. I currently teach part-time at CMU on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1-6, and am available most mornings and evenings outside of that for any pet needs. I'm usually up around 6:30am for a walk, so early morning routines and dog walking are welcome. My 2 cats are spoiled but healthy and well behaved. They've got several bowls of water, and are fed 3 times a day, and have plenty of space to lounge, perch, and play - including a cat wheel for zoomies. I've got a crested gecko and 3 frogs as well, in bioactive terrariums with automated lights and misting systems for reliable humidity. In terms of treatment, I'm very gentle and want the best for every pet - a calm demeanor helps when trimming nails or giving meds, and playing with toys instead of hands builds safe habits. While I might be new to you and your pet's life, I'm great about maintaining routine and comfort so that I cause as minimal stress as possible.
