Dog Walkers in Paonia, CO

About: I have taken care of pets since I moved back to CO and love to get back to helping out families and their pets too. I am currently working part time. My job allows breaks to run home if need be and if not dogs are welcome at my work place. I don’t have a yard but love walking or going to the park. I am willing to stay at a client’s home as well too.

“Suzanne is super professional and great with our dog. She provided updates and is easy to communicate with. Highly recommended her!”

“Megan is great with my guys. They look forward to their walks and are very content when I get home from work. She handles my goofy sheepdog really well, he sometimes plays games about getting his harness on. Ha! She communicates very well and goes above and beyond to give my guys water during the hot summer days during the walk. Thank you Megan. I highly recommend her!”

About: Hello! My name is Hanna and I was raised here in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. I grew up with two wonderful dogs, who I would spend most of my free time hiking, swimming, and mountain bike riding with. I lived in NYC for 8 years which is where I went to college and met my husband. Last year we made the move back home to Paonia where we now have a wonderful house and live with our 6 year old yellow lab named Blue. As a family we love to be outside, whether it's hiking, being at home in the garden, walking the river, or riding bikes. Blue is a very mellow dog who gets along with every dog he meets. He loves playing fetch and swimming so you can often find us out at the river or at the park. Both my husband and I work from home with flexible schedules so will be around and present for your pet. Overall I'm a naturally energetic person who would love to bring my energy and excitement to your pet's life! I work from home and set my own schedule so it's flexible throughout the day allowing me to take walks and be outside whenever I like. Every day I take two, hour long walks - one in the late morning and one the early evening with my dog. Throughout the day we're also outside in the yard where there's grass. I own the home I live in which is right in downtown Paonia. There's a fenced yard with grass and room to play. We're walking distance to 2 parks, as well as the walking path along the river.

“Absolutely wonderful experience with Rebekah! Pancake and Karate were also more than satisfied with their walk.”

About: Hi my name is Anthony, and I’ve been in the Aspen/Vail Valley for 11 years. I’ve always enjoyed taking care of my family’s dogs and cats growing up. I have a 12 year old Bichon that has been with me since college! I have taken care of numerous friends dogs in Vail over the years. I am a contractor and make my own schedule so I am readily available! I am able to give your animals any medicine they require. I’m always flexible to change my schedule to help with your needs! I am very respectful of the customers home, and try to make the dog feel confortable without their owner present. I am not taking in house customers at the moment.

“Alexandra was great with my dog! She was responsive and easy to work with. Definitely would use her services again.”

About: I’m Skylar I am living in Aspen and love it here! I work part time and love the outdoors and love animals. I currently don’t have any of my own so I enjoy getting to spend time with peoples dogs or cats. I have a lot of off time and a pretty open schedule! Willing to stay with your animals over night or come walk them during the days. I grew up with dogs, cats, fish, turtles, snakes! I love all animals and can help with all the different pets young or old ones.

About: I grew up on a ranch caring for horses, dogs, cats, and other animals. I have also worked with therapy animals. Years of experience with pets and other animals as well. I work from home via my laptop, so my schedule can be very flexible. I can build my online work around walks and dog/cat sitting as needed. I will provide companionship and play/exercise to check in on your fur-baby while you are away at work, or I am happy to dog/cat sit in home if you are away for longer trips. I will take care of all dietary/health and exercise needs and provide lots of fun and comfort while you are gone. I will treat your pet as I would my own.

About: While I am based out of Golden, I work remotely so I'm able to care for pets and homes anywhere throughout the state! I've taken care of dogs of my own, roommates dogs, friends' pets, and Rover sits over the past 10 years. I've taken care of dogs between puppy age and 13 years old. I've also cat sat for friends over the years. I currently live in an apartment so I unfortunately can't board any at my home. However I'm happy to watch them from the comfort of their home. My schedule is really flexible with my remote job and I'm happy to take them on walks and potty/play breaks throughout the day. The longest I've watched someone's pet was for 2 months and I loved it! Feel free to reach out with any other questions! I'm currently in between jobs. I am able to be very attentive and love to take morning walks, midday walks or fetch, and evening walks. I can take them to the dog park or on hikes or if they're good with bikes, I can take them on even longer run/bike rides. I am very respectful and clean when staying at a clients house. I treat it like my own (if not better). I love to go for walks with your pup and keep them on leash. I also don't give in on the cute puppy eyes when I'm eating my food and keep them to their parents approved food and treats.

About: Friends and family have relied on me to watch their animals and know I keep them informed of how their animals well being is and their health I am currently looking for work whether it’s animal sitting or something else entirely just waiting for the opportunity, but I can assure you I’ll willing to do whatever I can do for your animals I currently have two cats and two dogs, we have a fence. If I’m told a specific instruction with Clients animals I will ask more questions to achieve the set expectations and I contact the owners if anything is to come of concern cause I like keeping them informed

“Brandi has been great with my fur baby! She keeps good contact with me and updates me every visit with pictures and info about her time with my dog. I really love her picture updates; since I am gone all day it gives me peace of mind seeing his picture knowing he is in good and caring hands. She also gives my dog toys and treats which he loves and I appreciate.”

About: I was with my boy Sylo for almost 14 years now, and I know how incredibly important it is to trust that your companion is being *very* well taken care of. I live on a quiet piece of land right outside of Paonia. Daily walks are non-negotiable, and I love to get out on mellow adventures as much as possible. I go on a 30-45 minute walk every single morning, and another long walk every evening. I work from home so I make sure to take them outside for potty breaks or short walks very often! We go on leash walks every day- but if we go on an adventure, I am more than happy to keep your companion on a long leash if that makes you feel more comfortable.

“Clarissa did great with my puppy! I went snowboarding for the day, and she stopped by to take Maya on a potty break and to spend some energy! I will definitely have her looking after my puppy again! Thank you so so much!”

About: Lifetime pet owner with a passion for animals, ready to spoil your four-legged friends! Scroll to the bottom to learn more about me! In the meantime, here are some points on how I aim to take the utmost care of your pets. ⬇️ HOUSE SITTING: 🏡 Your pets should hardly notice you’re missing! They will be treated as my own. 💛 🏡 YEARS of experience house & ranch sitting. Ask for references! 🏡 Comfortable with complex routines involving pets & livestock. (i.e. dogs, cats, horses, cattle, chickens, goats, pigs, rabbits, working dogs, etc…) 🏡 The goal is for you to return to a clean home & healthy, happy pets! 🏡 Will review a list of questions prior to your departure covering pets, livestock, chores, & home maintenance! Attention to these details are important! (i.e. vet info, trash day, water shut-off, etc...) 🏡 IF staying overnight, all linens, trash, dishes, etc.. will be cleaned and replaced prior to your return! No one wants to clean when they get home from a trip. 🏡 NEVER will I ask to bring my pets or someone else to your home. DOG WALKING: 🐶 Happy to walk BIG or little dogs! They don’t need perfect leash manners. 🐶 Let’s go for a 30 min free “consultation” walk. Make sure it’s a good fit! 🐶 Willing to follow any training protocols you currently have in place. 🐶 Have my own sturdy leashes or can use yours, whichever is preferred! 🐶 Will only walk one client’s dog(s) at a time. 🐶 Very conscious of our surroundings to avoid conflict with other passing people, dogs, wildlife, bicycles, etc… Also carry deterrent spray! 🐶 No “lolly-gaggin” here! Let's get those pups out the door asap to maximize walk time! 🐶 During the walk, happy to keep them moving to burn some energy -but also get some sniffing in as that provides great mental stimulation! DROP-IN VISITS: 👋 In Montrose, available up to 3x’s per day. 👋Outside of Montrose (20+ mins), available 1x - 2x per day. 👋Weekdays & Weekends -my timing is flexible! 👋 Dedicated to quickly doing chores & MOSTLY making your pets feel special! 👋 The ONLY reason I’ll have my phone out is to send cute update pics. 📸 BOARDING & DOGGY DAY CARE: ❗️Will resume offering this in the future, when Boogie has recovered from spay surgery and Leuko is a little older. Stay tuned! About Me: I've always had a passion for animals, and was raised with dogs, cats, horses, pigs, goats, cows, chickens, birds, fish, hamsters, etc... Through high-school I worked for a horse boarding facility cleaning stalls, exercising horses, and ensuring diet & blanketing protocols were followed with precise detail. After high-school, I spent four years wrangling for guest ranches in the summer, packing for outfitters in the fall, and house sitting during the off seasons! All this to say, I have met and cared for a huge variety of animals under various circumstances. I keep a watchful eye out for illness or injury, and feel confident in my responses to emergency situations. I'm not afraid to ask questions when I'm unsure, either! I take pride in following your routine precisely, sharing updates frequently, and giving you the greatest peace of mind that your pets, plants, & home are in good hands while you're away. Currently I'm studying for my Bachelor's degree, full-time via online courses. This means I will not leave your pets for extended periods while boarding, have flexibility to schedule visits that best suit your pet's needs, and can "work from your home" while housesitting if need be. I have a lot of experience with senior pet care, and am confident in my ability to keep your puppy's training on track while you're away! Please reach out with any questions, I'd love to discuss your situation more and see if we'd be a good fit! My schedule is flexible, as I'm a full-time student working on earning my Bachelor's degree online from home. Meaning, I can adjust my schedule to suit your pet’s needs! My goal is to take the utmost care to follow all routines and directions! Plus, strive to keep your pets healthy and home tidy! I will watch for physical injuries, monitor their "excrements" for signs of illness, and watch for conditions across ALL your pets / livestock including: ear infections, pink-eye, bloat, colic, abscesses, UTI's, etc... In addition to keeping an eye on pet health, I take watching for property issues like broken fences, leaking pipes, strange appliance noises, etc… seriously as well! I want to make sure your home is the way you left it, if not better! I’m fine with lengthy ranch routines morning and night. Again if questions arise or illness or injury is suspected in any of your animals --I will reach out with photos right away. I do have experience navigating small & large animal emergencies and react quickly to these situations!

About: Growing up on a horse farm, I have experience working with a variety of animals. I love to walk and hike, your dog will be well taken care of. I have experience house sitting high end homes as well and always leave homes cleaner than I found them. I have lived in the roaring fork valley for 8 years and know the hiking trails up and down the valley. I am self employed with ample flexibility for dog walking and house sitting. I have an office space for myself that is dog friendly and can bring your pet along my entire day. I always communicate thoroughly with homeowners about expectations before a house stay or dog walking gig. I leave homes better than I found them and thoroughly clean every place. Communication is key and I like to be in touch throughout the stay. My sisters dog had epilepsy so I am well antiquated with medications and emergency situations with dogs.

“Laura is my go-to sitter for my dog. She loves dogs and I'm always at peace when I leave my dog with her. Hydra always is excited to go and is happy when she returns to me. Great dog sitter! Great loving service Laura provides.”
