Dog Walking Palisade

About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life. I’ve been providing personal pet care for the past two years. I get along with dogs of all ages and breeds. I can keep up with any energy level your fur baby has. I currently only have my schedule on Rover filling my time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets needs and give them the playtime and/or walks they need daily. I will follow and maintain daily medication and feeding schedules of any complexity. I will follow all instructions given to ensure your furry friend gets the care they need. I just need to know what they can and can’t do and will make sure they are on their best behavior while I care for them.

“She’s great! No complaints!”

About: As a career animal welfare professional, I'm ready to bring my decades of experience in animal care, veterinary care and animal handling to you and your home to ensure you have total peace of mind and your pets are cared for and safe while you're away. My entire professional career has been in the animal welfare field. I've worked as a cruelty investigator in both major metropolitan as well as rural agricultural regions. I've worked on farm animal sanctuaries as well as in city shelters. I'm still very involved in animal rescue through disaster response as well as large scale animal cruelty case deployments. Currently, I work for/co-founded an organization which provides low-cost veterinary care services to underserved areas in the region. As someone who utilizes Rover heavily for pet sitting services while traveling for work, I know just how important it is to have a service like this available as well as what a trusting, reliable sitter can do for peace of mind while out of town and away from you pets. I currently work from home (when not traveling for work) which allows me to devote full days to pet care while sitting nearby in my home office. I have a large, fully fenced yard. Your dogs will be able to spend as much, or as little, time outside as they desire. I have two resident dogs who are very welcoming of all four-legged (and two-legged) visitors and will be more than happy to share all their favorite toys and most comfortable spots on the couch.

About: I come from a dog loving family with lots of experience in caring for all dogs especially those with high needs/ requirements. I have also fostered many cats and have been described by friends and family as deeply compassionate. I am currently available full time for pet care needs including overnight sitting as needed. I have a very flexible schedule allowing me to be in client’s homes as frequently as needed. I am also available most weekends. As an organized person I am very attentive to closing doors, following routines, and closely monitoring animals when visiting in others’ homes. I have a background in early childcare which helps me be aware of my surroundings and what to look for to ensure the safety of those in my care.

“Eleshia was great! I booked the last minute. Showed up on time for a puppy walk. Thank you!”

“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!”

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

About: I would be home with them 24/7; my mom is a dog groomer so I know a lot about dogs! I think it would be super fun to look after your pup! We'll sit and watch movies together or go outside and play fetch or tug-o-war! I would love to look after your pet today and be the best dog sitter you could ever wish for. Whatever it takes to make your pet happy I will do! Just give me proper instructions and I will make their dreams come true ! I would be home all the time… frequent potty breaks and playtime on a very large outdoor property located in Palisade/East Orchard Mesa! Remote area away from busy streets. There is plenty of space here for my dog and your dog to play together! I have toys I throw for my dog and she loves to run on the hillsides. Completely private and blocked off from any traffic or neighbors.

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

About: I’ve grown up with multiple pets (dogs, cats, fish) since I was a kid. As an adult, I’ve lived with various pets and regularly pet sit for friends and family. I currently nanny part-time during the weem, so my schedule is flexible. This provides the ability to do multiple pet check-ins throughout the day and overnight stays if requested. My preference is to take care of your pets at your home, as this environment is familiar and safe for your pets. If that is not an option, I am more than happy to board your pets at my home.

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 am a pet owner and animal lover. I have three mixed breed dogs that were all rescued from animal shelters who love to play and get attention. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, fish and other small animals. I have worked with many animals and am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. I can come to your home or your pets can come to my home for some love and attention. I love all kinds of animals whether big or small and can't wait to meet yours. I am an energetic, trustworthy and reliable individual with a flexible schedule and look forward to meeting your pets! Please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. I work remotely which allows me to have some flexibility to help with your pet care needs. I am available early morning and late night. I like to have detailed instructions so I know exactly what to expect and what is needed. I am very trust worthy and dependable to help you.

“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 am an avid animal lover with 13 years of experience under my belt! I’ve take care of dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and rabbits and loved every second of it and I would love to take care of your pets too. I make sure to treat every single animal like my own and as if they were a human baby which essentially they are! I have taken care of animals for family and friends as well as my own and I wish to become a sitter on rover to continue this while helping others out in this crazy world! As it’s summer I am available Monday-Wednesday for the entire day! I do work the rest of the week but I can fit sitting/walks in when needed/requested. I care for pets like they are my own and they are beautiful animals with emotions just like us and I treat them as such. With care, compassion, love, respect and I make sure to engage with them so they get their daily mental stimulation either through playing or puzzles!

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life, it's not just something I do, it's who I am. I grew up with three dogs and currently share my home with four cats and a bearded dragon, so I'm completely comfortable with a wide variety of pets, including reptiles. If your pet is a little unconventional, don't worry, I've got you covered. I have hands-on experience caring for multiple pets at once and know how to manage different personalities, energy levels, and needs under one roof. I'm especially great with puppies and young animals, I understand they need extra patience, attention, and consistency, and I genuinely enjoy that part of the job. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a cozy place to stay, or just a caring face to check in on them, I treat every animal like my own. I haven't met a pet I didn't love, and I look forward to proving that to you and yours. Pet care is always at the top of my priority list! I am currently available any day of the week at any time, so your pet's routine never has to be disrupted. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets are never left unattended for long periods and are given a calm, loving environment to settle into. I already live with four cats, so your kitty will be welcomed into a space that is fully pet-friendly and set up with their needs in mind. For visits at your home, I follow your instructions carefully: feeding schedules, medications, preferred routines, and any quirks that make your pet feel at ease. I believe consistency is key to keeping pets calm when their owners are away, so I stick to whatever routine works best for them. I treat every home I enter with the utmost respect, and every pet in my care like my own.

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 have taken care of dogs since I was 10, I have watched all sorts of dogs, from family to friends to coworkers, and neighbors even:) I’m currently working for a second job but I always make sure that my animal care come first, I try to reason with my clients if change happens. I always try to make sure my dogs and cats stay occupied with toys and treats and walks making sure that they are always fed 2 time a day

About: I've always enjoyed interacting with animals, especially dogs. I like how a dog can make one's day so much better. I love that dogs are honest and pure. I enjoy spending my time with a dog - I know that during that moment, they're focusing on you, and it's nice to see and feel that. I work Mon thru Fridays as a teacher from 730am to 330pm. I can do evening sittings at my house or yours. On Saturdays/Sundays, I am most available. I can make sure your furry child is getting everything it needs from walks to socialization or just company. If you need me to come to your house, whatever rules in place will be followed. Otherwise, if your furry companion comes to my house, I would ensure that it gets fed, walked, and loved. Not once will your dog not be by my side - I'll always ensure that whatever you need me to do (muzzle, leashed, etc.) is followed. I love animals and will always strive for perfection, as I love them so much.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for a while now, and am more than happy to play, snuggle, run, and care for yours as well. I work part time only on weekdays so I am available to play with your animals most of the time. I can’t wait to spend time with them. I get up early in the morning to let pets outside while I fill up their bowls for food and water. I cuddle and play with them all day. I love to make them feel loved.

“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!!”
