Dog Walking Red Cliff

About: I've been caring for dogs my entire life and bring a calm, attentive and intuitive approach to every dog i welcome into my home. I grew up caring for dogs and have owned both Golden Retrievers and a long-haired Dachshund, giving experience with a wide range of temperaments-from energetic and playful to gentle and sensitive. I provide a structured, safe and loving environment where dogs can feel at ease while maintaining their normal routines. I'm highly attentive to each dogs individual needs, whether it's exercise, companionship or simply a calm space to relax. Having hosted many dogs in my home and being a former dog owner looking for care over the years, I understand how important it is for both pets and owners to feel confident and comfortable. My 9-year-old son Bobby is kind, respectful and experienced with dogs adding to the warm, family style environment your dog will be a part of. Nestled in Red Cliff, our home offers a true mountain escape- endless fresh air, trails, a dogs dream playground I currently have full availability, I'm home throughout the day to provide loving, attentive care, regular walks, playtime and calm, consistent routine for every dog. Our home features a partially fenced yard, a peaceful low flow creek on the property and easy access to Red Cliffs dog friendly trails for leashed or unleashed adventures in the backcountry.

“Jack has been so wonderful and accommodating to our busy holiday schedule these past few weeks. Showing up on time, taking our boy on amazing hikes and showing him lots of love and care. Couldn’t have done it without him! Highly recommend!”

“Do not look any further. Stop. Hire Karen, now. We were in the Vail area for a week over Thanksgiving and Karen watched our two labs for 5 days and we could not be any happier!!! She was amazing. Our dogs were taken on multiple walks, hikes, and outings per day. They went sledding and shared videos of our puppy pulling the sled. We got multiple pictures, texts, and videos during the day to keep us posted and they were always walking, playing, or snuggly WITH Karen on the couch and good Lord it was cute!! She is an all-star and you couldn't ask for a better fur baby sitter. My kids wanted to give her five bajillioon stars, but it wasn't an option. She's the best!”

“Jade is the best! We have a very high-maintenance Belgian Malinois who is not a fan of strangers, so finding the right person was incredibly important to us. Jade went completely above and beyond by doing multiple meetings to make sure he felt safe and comfortable with her. Her patience, calm demeanor, and gentle approach made all the difference. She truly took the time to understand his personality and earned his trust at his pace — something that does not come easily with him. We feel so lucky to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone. Thank you for going the extra mile in every possible way!”

About: I have always had a love for animals. I have had dogs always growing up and have taken care of lots of different animals. I have a 4 year old aussie who has lots of energy and loves other dogs! I work remotely & a few days a week in person so I am able to be flexible & move my schedule around for pet’s needs! I live right by a very nice hiking trail and have access to walking trails, swimming spots for the dogs & the dog park as well.

“Grace is a very kind and caring Dog Walker who my puppy loves to see whenever she gets to go for a walk! Your dog would be lucky to get a chance to walk with Grace!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a horse farm in Virginia, surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and I have experience with dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies who need patience and training to senior dogs who deserve extra care and attention. I treat every pet like they're my own and always strive to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be home throughout the day. That means your dog will get plenty of attention, and companionship instead of being left alone for long periods. Whether it's a walk or an overnight stay, I'll keep your dog safe, active, and happy. I'll provide walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and lots of attention so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I enjoy sitting other people’s pets and playing with them. I have a heart for animals. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I am currently working part time. I still have plenty of time to love and play with your pets. We will have a blast and good quality time! I have a fenced in backyard that my two dogs and cat love to mess around in. I know what it takes to love and care for a pet. Your pet will be treated as my own!

About: Life is better with dogs and I often say we don’t deserve them! I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have 4 adorable miniature dachshunds. I wanted 2 more but my partner threw down the hammer on me saying no. I’ve used Rover in the past and had some really amazing experiences and one, not so great experience, so I understand the value in finding the right person to stay, play and take care of your loved ones. I’ve always valued my caretaker sending plenty of photos and videos while I’m away, so I always said if I did this for others, I would do the same! Trust and reliability are the most important things I’ve always looked for in having someone stay in my home with my pets while I’m away, and that’s what you get from me! I am currently retired and am fully available day and night! My partner and our 4 dogs stay at our house in Denver full time, and I stay at my house here in the Vail Valley, so there are no conflicts with my schedule. I would be the only person taking care of your pets! Pets are children. Always have been and always will be in my book. I love to play with, walk and snuggle them. I like to give them the same unconditional love they give us.

“Mindy was fantastic!! Bandit had a blast walking with Mindy and her dog. She came and met us the day before we needed her. We will absolutely use her again.”

About: I genuinely enjoy taking care of, playing and loving pets! I have been around animals my whole life & it makes life so much more fulfilling. I have two cats and a dog of my own & have been the dog/cat auntie for many friends with pets. I love taking pets on adventures, hiking, parks, kayaking, paddle boarding, cuddling up on the couch, playing fetch, tug of war or learning new tricks. Pets add so much love and joy to our lives, they give love without question & it’s so meaningful to experience. I have volunteered at animal shelters in the USVI and SC. I also volunteered at a Donkey rehabilitation center in USVI taking care of donkeys, goats & horses. Rover is currently my main job so I should have availability in my schedule as of right now. Message me and we can talk more about scheduling needs. I believe in creating a safe and loving space for your pet or continuing the current space provided. I live by the statement “always leave things better than you found them”.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs majority of my life. Growing up I’be had 3 husky mix breeds all coming from animal shelters. I have always had the responsibility of taking them on walks, playing with them and feeding them. In high school I also volunteered at the animal shelter near me and took care of all the dogs and cats there. I recently also became a loving cat owner and just moved to the area. I hope to meet you and your furry friend soon. I recently moved to the Vail area and am working with Vail resorts. I will be working Monday- Saturday from 9am-6 with a day off during the week. I am open to doing dog walks, house checks, letting your dog out or caring for your cat before work, during my lunch break and at any hours after work and any days I have off. I am currently living in employee housing and at this time could not have other pets in my home due to the policies enforced. I am open to caring for your pet on your home, in whichever way makes you the comfortable.

About: I’m a very friendly and outgoing person towards humans and animals! I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats in my household and really enjoy their company. In September 2020, I adopted a 2 month old Labrador/ Great Pyrenees / Shepard mix named Arlo from the Boulder humane society and have had an amazing time raising him! I have experience with small to large dogs, as well as dogs of all ages. I love staying active and being outdoors. Being able to take dogs on walks and spending time with them is a great way to stay active throughout the day. I am glad to be able to spend my extra time taking care of your dog and providing you with the best service that I can to keep you and your dog happy! I will have plenty of time to play with your pups during the week or weekend! We can go on walks, hikes, to the dog park or play in the backyard. I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment with an open living room, kitchen, balcony and mud room area. I also have a shared back yard, am less than a 2 minute walk from gore creek trail, and only a 5 minute drive away from the west vail dog park. I also have my own dog that would love a play buddy! If at your home, please let me know your preferred areas of play and down time. I can also take your dog to their favorite spots in the area!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I work in the morning some days and nights some days. So my schedule varies. But, I always will have some time during the day. I have a very friendly fur baby of my own, so must be dog friendly. But I have a large living room with a spare bedroom, so I have plenty of room.

“Hunter really seemed to love dogs. I was especially impressed with his meet & greet. I would've liked a daily photo and timeliness however I wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thanks!”

About: I grew up on a small farm where I helped care for our dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks and rabbits. Now I have a rambunctious coonhound who always wants to head out for a walk and can play well after he should. I enjoy taking him out to dog parks, walks in open spaces and off leash time in the National Forest. I would love to help you with your pups walking needs. whether you have a high energy dogs that needs some trail running, or a dog that would prefer a more mundane city park I can accommodate either one and all dogs in between. I have a job that affords the ability to take a dog walk or stop over for a quick feeding at any time of day or night I only frequent parks and areas that are safe so me and your dog will be as well. I would only walk your dog by itself or with his siblings. Also I would not go to off-leash dog parks unless specifically requested.

“Earl was great. This was our first time taking our dog Toby. I would highly recommend Earl. It was a great experience and will call him again when we return back to Vail.”

About: I’ve had animals since I was an infant so I am well versed to take care of your lovely creatures. I can give insulin shots if your fur baby is diabetic, go on walks, play interactive games with them, and just love them as you do. I work remotely so I am around very often. On the weekends I spend a lot of time outside so if your pup likes the outdoors, I’m your gal. Experienced in cuddling and administering medications. I am a strict rule follower and pay attention to detail. Loving your fur babies like you do comes naturally to me.
