Dog Walkers in Piedra, CO

“Mallory and Jonathan are the absolute best— in every possible way. My dog is wary of new people but they had her totally comfortable and loving them within the first two minutes!! In addition to their clearly loving and being fantastic with animals, they are also totally reliable, go the extra mile, are mature and responsible, and are just lovely people. I can’t say enough good things about both of them!”

“Thanks to Lori our dog Doug was happy and healthy when we returned from our trip. Lori walked him faithfully every day for an extended amount of time and sent pics each day. When we returned a day before our booking ended due to my mistake, Lori happily refunded the difference. Kiddos! I recommend Lori wholeheartedly!”

About: I absolutely adore animals & love spending time with them! I've had pets my entire life, primarily dogs --small & large breeds! I'm familiar with all types of breeds of dogs & temperaments. I currently have one Aussie-dog named Huckleberry, ( shown in the first couple photos )-he is super friendly with anyone & all animals! When he is around dogs he adapts to different personalities, if your dog is calm he will be calm or if they are playful he loves that too! He is excited to make new friends with your pet! I'm a small business owner & make my own schedule throughout the week. My schedule is very flexible & can adjust it to new routines for your pets special needs any day of the week! I'm very active person & love taking walks everyday around my peaceful neighborhood by Lake Pagosa! I have a clean & safe home to watch over your pet! I do not currently have a fenced in yard but will be able to walk your dog or take them potty on a long leash in my large yard! You can trust that your fur baby will be safe with me & get the attention he/she needs while you're away! **I will not take any dogs that are aggressive in nature & would prefer them to be potty trained.

About: I have cared for animals almost my entire life. Started out wanting to be a veterinarian ended up as an elementary school teacher retired now with some time on my hand and love for animals in my heart! 💜 Since I am retired I have time and flexibility to care for your pet. If needed I can also administer medication. You don’t even have to worry! I currently have one dog and one cat! We have a larger house, along with a fenced and shaded yard. Five acres to run if your pet is good with “Come” ! 😀

About: I am a working professional that will be doing this for some fun and extra income. This will be my first time doing pet care for people I do not know. In the past I have helped friends and neighbors when they were leaving town by watching their animals. In the past I ran my own cleaning business and often did minimal animal care while cleaning homes. I have a dog myself (Indie) and can understand the stress that comes with hiring a pet sitter or kenneling your pet. I hope I can help to provide a stress free option for pet care. You can be confident your animal will be getting the best possible care while you are away. I am offering walks in your neighborhood or longer hikes in the area accompanied by my dog, drop-in visits, and overnight sitting at your home. I wish I could offer boarding at my house but my landlord will not allow other dogs in my home. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about me please don't hesitate to contact me!

“Stephanie was trustworthy and I felt very comfortable with her taking care of Bear. She kept clear communication and updates while she was walking him. I'd be happy to ask Stephanie to take care of Bear again!”

About: I have worked in the animal care field for years- as a shelter manager, a veterinary office manager, and a pet store manager. I even own my own pet sitting company! I love all breeds and types and would go above and beyond to care for your fur baby. I’m reliable, professional, a fast learner and passionate. I am happy to walk, bathe, feed, and play with your dogs/cats. I’m comfortable with all sizes and breeds, and multiple dogs at one time. I have cats of my own, and have lived with dogs. I’ve been around animals for most of my life and am looking forward to a career that allows me to spend more time with them. Thank you so much for your consideration!

About: I have a lot of experience with all types of dogs including big dogs. We take walks everyday down the road and back on leash and multiple walks around my fenced in property off leash. With lots of opportunity for yard time inside my 6-ft fenced in yard. We are located in a scenic and peaceful neighborhood in Aspen springs, approximately 6 mi west of Pagosa springs. Your dog will be able to run and play as much as it wants (supervised, of course) on my fenced in one and a half acre property. I was given my first doggie duties at the age of 5, and other than when I was in the military, dogs have always been a part of my life. I currently have 2 dogs, one is a german shepherd/catahoula mix at about 2 yrs. old (still an active and playful pup) and the other is a husky/lab mix at about 12 yrs. old. both have lots of experience with other dogs. I don't spend much time away from the property these days. I do however have a part-time job in town that will keep me away from the house for about 4 to 6 hours and it's no problem taking an extended break if dogs need attention. You can be assured that when I'm away your pups will be safe, secure and comfortable. With plenty of space to stretch out in my three bedroom home. I live on just over an acre, in a nice qiuet country setting. The property is completely fenced in and gated with lots of trees and bushes there's also an "inner" yard surrounded by a 6ft cedar fence coming off the back porch of the house.

About: Life is better with a dog. As an avid adventurer and dog lover I understand the importance of being able to trust that your beloved family member is loved and cared for when you are away. I will do whatever is possible to make sure that your pooch is safe and sound and well loved. I have had dogs in my family for as long as I can remember. My first job was at a pet store where I had the opportunity to care for a wide variety of little creatures which I loved dearly. I have a little Corgi mix named Hammhawk. He goes on all my adventures with me and is quite a little swimmer.We take walks everyday and we would be sure to keep your dog active if that is appropriate for your pup. Can't wait to get to know your pet.

About: *UPDATE* I have a 8 month old well-behaved puppy that loves to play and she will need to be with me on long overnight stays. I cannot accept clients overnight without the ability to bring my pup and socialize! Sorry ♥️ can’t leave her! I love animals deeply and genuinely love spending the time with furry friends. I also love being active and outdoors, so would love to do so with your pet. Let me know anything you need, I’m very flexible! I give lots of attention and love too ❤️ My job is flexible so I am able to accommodate whenever you need me for your pet. I love to run and be outdoors so pets that need walking will have a great time! I love to spend time, play with your pet, and make sure they are occupied while you are gone. My cat personally gets very lonely when I’m away and I appreciate a sitter who plays with her. I make that a priority!

About: I’m a very family oriented person and my family has always had animals. I’ve taken care of pets of all different varieties since I was a little girl. I’ve always been a reliable caretaker for many peoples pets. From fish and lizards to dogs and cats I’m sure to take the up most best care of your pets. I’m currently available everyday after work at 5:30 PM Monday through Thursday. Fridays and Saturdays I’m free all day. Sundays I’m available after 2PM. If you have any questions feel free to reach out and we can flex the schedule to see what works. I care for my clients with compassion and respect. I have given medications orally to pets with kindness and respect for the animal and the owner. I enjoy taking animals for walks and having fun interactive/stimulating toys for the animals so they can be the happiest and most content they can be.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs from very small to giant breeds. I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs with heath issues. I have a very flexible schedule and either me or my husband is home at all times. I am a huge animal lover and have owned my own dogs for 20 years. I live in an area with lots of room to roam, fenced back yard and I live on 4 acres. I am a registered nurse currently working part time and my husband works from home. So we coordinate our schedules so that someone is always home with our dog and son. I have a large area for pets to be outside that is fully fenced. Very nice neighborhood with easy access to my home. I have one small dog who is very friendly with other dogs. I am also willing to accommodate your needs to make you more comfortable with caring for your pets, as a long time per owner I know how stressful it can be to leave them and having someone wonderful care for them is extremely important.

“Jessie has been wonderful and Tex seems to enjoy his walks.”

About: hi my name is Chloe! My family has 4 dogs who I love to take care of. They are basically my babies. I would love to take care of your pets! I’m super reliable and pretty good about working around times for things needed to be done. I have a big heart for animals and I would love to help you out as well. I typically only work during the day, a couple times a week. So that would always give me time with your pets in the morning and all afternoon and night. If I were at my home I would play outside and stay with them till we are ready to come in. I’ll play fetch, tug, go on walks, or car rides! At others houses I would do the same, unless I am told otherwise.

About: Hi my name is Kathryn K. I have an twelve year old Pomeranian I’ve had since a puppy and he is my whole world. I don’t go anywhere without him unless I absolutely have to. I have a few German Shepard Husky mixes also raised since birth. They are my everything. I also have four ducks, three cats, six goats and twenty six chickens….. I enjoy being outside and being with animals. I can walk , take dog(s) to park or hike ,play in yard ,cook for your dog(s) if they needs special food or I can take to get bathed or whatever you or dog wants/needs. I don’t know what I’d rather do than to be around animals all day everyday. I have dog sat quite a few times and it’s nice to know you make them feel comfortable when you the parent(s) are away. Would love to meet your dog and take them for a walk or cuddles anytime! :-) I currently work part time so I will have plenty of time to play or walk your pup(s)! :-) We just want to have some fun! :-) I go for hikes or walks around neighborhood one at a time or together! Or go for the dog parks to make sure the dogs are safe in fence! :-)

“Chris took Jenna on a mile walk that lasted 40 minutes. Very, very pleased with Chris’s help with Jenna. Thanks a bunch. Highly recommend.”

I am a full time online student with an open schedule. I am available mornings, evenings, and nights and I am able to work around your schedule. I am available to provide walks in safe, natural spaces, and create a comfortable environment within your pet’s existing home as well, while respecting your space and adhering to your home’s routines.

“Andy was great. He came by to meet our girls first and then back the next day for a walk. He really let us enjoy our day up to Silverton on the Steam Engine railroad. Highly recommend him.”

“We booked another Rover dog walker to take care of our dog while we were in Durango. After we arrived, we contacted her to come out and meet our dog. She had contracted COVID so we told her not to worry about it. We contacted several more walkers and Kimberly was able to walk our dog the next day. She came out early in the morning to meet him, then came out three more times to take care of him while we took the train to Silverton and back. On the train, we decided to try a horseback ride the next day. We asked Kimberly if she could let him out again the next day and she could. Kimberly was friendly and able to take care of our dog on really short notice. We really appreciated her flexibility and availability.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, big & small. Now I have 2 Australian shepherds of my own that I trained and take care of Max & Marley! I recently moved to Colorado this year and have much more free time and would love to spend it taking care of dogs and helping out as much as I can! I take my dogs to go outside and play with the ball of course to release energy, chill out during the day, play with stuffed toys, and go on a walk around the neighborhood as many days as we can!
