Dog Walking Rifle

“Jake is The best!! Highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve had all sorts of animals my entire life from lizards to horses. I’ve watched friends, family, and strangers pets along with occasionally some kiddos. I’m always available for questions so feel free to reach out anytime! My work schedule stays pretty consistent and I make sure my calendar on here is always up to date. Right now I work Wednesdays through Sundays 7-5. If you have any questions please let me know! I have a fenced yard, with a 2 1/2 year old mix who loves to play. Also in the house is a 3 y/o mini ausie who likes to stay in her own space inside the master bedroom. As well as a cat who has his own bedroom. All trash and food items stay in cupboards and off the counters. Bathroom doors are kept closed but a large water dispenser is available for thirsty fur babies.

About: Hello! I am an animal lover and experienced and responsible dog and kitty owner and sitter. I work full time from home currently. Flexable on rates as well, especially for multiple animal/long term stays. My most recent pup had diabetes so I know how to give medications and shots. He also went through training classes so I know a few tricks ha! I understand plans change last minute so cancellations are understandable. Let me know if you have questions or would like to do a house visit. My home in Rifle has a big yard and trails behind to go on walks. Can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I work from home with a very flexible schedule. This makes it easy to do drop-ins and walks when your pup or kitty really needs it! I can work from my home or yours. This ensures your animals get the most attention and care while you are away. Also always willing to water plants or put garbage cans out. Having traveled a lot for work, I can appreciate having a trustworthy and helpful pet sitter!

About: I strive to treat everyone's furbabies with the highest level of care as if they're my own. I've cared for every age of dog and cat for...really my whole life. I can administer medications and keep an eye on and assist more "special needs" furbabies if needed. I am a Biology major and try to learn as much as I can to care for animals the best I possibly can. I am currently working on animal first aid but I do know human FA so I can spot an emergency and care for minor wounds. I am currently working as needed at my job but, even then, my days are really open. I do have medical appointments here and there so sometimes I just need to leave the house for those but I try to return to the house expeditiously because I dont want the animals to be alone for too long. I understand not leaving dogs (especially) for too long between potty breaks so I can work around that but I try to stay at the house for 95+ percent of the time I am sitting. I purposely work around the animal's schedule so that they can be as comfortable and cared for as possible. I try to get as much information from the owner as possible so that I can make the time as similar to when the owner is around. I know changes can be stressful so avoiding any as much as possible is the best. I am known to be a cuddler but if they want their space I can definitely give it. I can give outside time to the best of my abilities and can transport in my own car with great safety if needed (e.g. if they love lake play, etc.). For younger animals, I can give regular care and make sure the space stays clean and cared for as best as possible. I understand that they need more supervision and help. I also try my best to keep an eye on outdoor heavy animals and shy animals to make sure theyre doing alright during my stay as well.

About: Trustworthy and reliable human looking to take care of your precious pets! I have many years of experience in animal care and have two dogs of my own! I’m working a seasonal job at the ski resort but my spring and summer is going to be very open. I also have a retired mother who is at home full time and she is also looking for some extra work. Bonus- she is a professional pet groomer! I will do everything I can to accommodate your pets specific needs. I’m able to feed, walk, give meds and plenty of love! My animals are allowed on beds and couches at my house but I can keep to whatever your preferences are in your home.

About: I've cared for animals my whole life: dogs, cats, rats, parrots, fish, and more. Right now I share my home with three senior cats I adore, so I'm right at home with pets who need a little extra patience, a medication schedule, or just someone who reads their quirks and knows when 'she's hiding' means she's fine and when it doesn't. Whatever your pet needs, I've got it covered: feeding and fresh water, meds and pills (even the sneaky ones), playtime and walks, litter and cleanup, and overnight stays so they're never alone. I'm reliable, I show up when I say I will, and I'll send you photos and updates so you can actually relax while you're away. I'm always happy to start with a meet-and-greet so you and your pet can get comfortable with me before booking anything. Tell me your pet's routine and I'll keep it exactly the way they like it. Senior pets, anxious pets, shy pets, high-energy pets, and the occasional exotic are all welcome. I'd love to help take care of your best friend like they're my own. I do part-time software work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time for pet care throughout the day. Since I'm home for much of the day, I can handle midday visits, feedings, and check-ins that a 9-to-5 sitter can't. I'm available for morning and evening care, overnight stays at your place, and drop-ins during the day. Just tell me your pet's routine and we'll find a rhythm that works for both of us. In your home, I respect your space completely. I follow your instructions to the letter, keep doors and gates secured, stick to your pet's normal routine, and leave things exactly the way I found them. I'll send photos and updates at each visit so you always know your pet is safe, fed, and happy. I'm careful with the little things that matter: locking up when I leave, bringing in mail or packages if you'd like, and watching for anything off with your pet's behavior or health so I can flag it early. If something ever comes up, you'll hear from me right away. Above all, I treat every pet like my own and every home like I'd want mine treated, with care, respect, and attention to detail.

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

“We have 2 older dogs, and Morgan was great with them! We had her come to our house 3 times a day to care for them. She left us daily updates on text, and would respond promptly if we would reach out. She really put our mind at ease, and our dogs loved her.”

About: I’ve been caring for fur babies since I graduated high school, giving both puppies and senior dogs the special attention they need. I love animals of every shape and size and treat them like my own—because let’s be honest, they run the household anyway. Your pet will get a happy, stress-free stay with plenty of love, snuggles, and top-tier spoiling. I work a full-time job during the day, but I’m available for drop-ins and visits in the late afternoons and evenings. I’m also free all day on Sundays, as well as one select weekday depending on my schedule. If you communicate your needs ahead of time, I’ll always do my best to make it happen. Your fur baby’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I come to your home so your pet can stay in their favorite place, surrounded by familiar smells and routines. I follow your instructions carefully and keep your home secure, tidy, and respected. You’ll always get clear updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for the majority of my life. I’m 66 years old. I’m a retired groomer a retired hairdresser. I would love to care for your baby. I’m a retired hairdresser and pet groomer and most of my days are open I’m compassionate and would love to take care of you I fur baby. I have a good sized backyard that is fenced and secure I have pet cams and keep my doors shut and locked at all times.

About: Lifelong animal, pet, and nature lover! I have been caring for other people’s pets for over 15 years. At times, life got a little too busy for me to continue with this enjoyable “work”, but now I am able to re-cultivate this passion once again. From walking your dog, to taking them on adventures and hikes, to overnight stays, I am available for your precious pet’s need. I have a Chihuahua mix of my own that I rescued in 2020, and he is such a sweetheart and a major lover of cuddling. During my downtime, I can be found reading, hiking, cleaning, or doing yoga. For a small additional fee, I would love to help you with any other needs you may have, such as house work, organizing, cleaning, or light yardwork. I strive to meet all the needs and desires of your fur bab. From walks, to hikes, to overnight stays, I aim to make myself available! I work in an office setting M-Th 8a-5p, but I typically have flexibility with many breaks and a long lunch. I work from home on Fridays. About twice a month, I am on-call on the weekends (8a-8p), and will provide more details if that overlaps with your booking. I live in Rifle, so I offer drop-in visits and dog walking from Glenwood Springs to Parachute. For overnight stays, I will travel from Aspen to Grand Junction. I have a fenced yard for potty breaks, and a doggy door that leads to my little yard. My dog doesn’t use the doggy door, so I am happy to keep it closed if that is your preference. I love to go on walks with dogs, and will walk them for whatever amount of time they are used to or suits their energy level. I have a sweet, small dog that is friendly to all animals he meets. He will play with your pet, or give your pet space, he is happy either way.

“Very responsive and sweet with our pup!”

About: I’ve had several dogs since I was a kid. Currently we have 4, including one puppy. I’m used to taking care of all dog personalities, like nervous puppies, grouchy old dogs, and hyper pups. I work occasional nights about twice a week from 4:30-10 at a restaurant. I would be out of the house at that time, but I often get cut early so we can further discuss when booking. I am comfortable crating dogs. I am also used to administering pills to dogs and cats, even those who don’t love to take their medication.

About: My husband and I have grown up with dogs our whole life! We love having our Stella in our life and she loves to play with other dogs. She would enjoy taking playing with your furry friend. Current work from home full time and will always have breaks to play with your doggie 💗🙂 We watch dogs all day and would love to have the company! We have a big backyard, plenty of room to run around. Dogs have easy access to come in and out whenever they would like. As well as many trails to walk nearby

“Great communication. Friendly and loved our Toby.”

About: Patient and loving pet sitter with 6+ years of experience. Going out for stress relieving walks around the town, up trails, and hikes. Providing great care while having fun adventures! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I will make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. Your pet will receive lots of love, attention, and supervision while in my care. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe.

“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 am based in Carbondale, CO. I am currently pet/house sitting full time throughout the summer so I'm able to provide a high level of care for pets and homes throughout the valley! I've cared for my own dogs, roommates' dogs, friends' pets, Trusted Housesitter stays, and Rover sits over the past 10 years. I've cared for dogs from puppyhood to 13 years old. I've also cat-sat for friends, Trusted Housesitters, and Rover clients over the years. I'm happy to take them on walks, hikes, dog parks, and potty/play breaks throughout the day. The longest I've watched someone's pet was for 2 months, and I loved it! I'm also happy to take them camping if that's their jam. Feel free to reach out with any other questions! A note on transportation - In addition to my ambulance camper, I have an e-bike I often enjoy cycling throughout the valley, so parking availability at your home should not be an issue. I currently am full time pet sitting for the summer. I am very attentive and love morning, midday, 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 client's house. I treat it like my own (if not better). I love going for walks with your pup and keeping them on a leash. I also don't give in to the cute puppy eyes when I'm eating my food and keep them to their parents' approved food and treats.

About: I have grown up with always having animals around. I have lived on multiple farms, and have volunteered with several animal sanctuaries, including one for wildlife in Costa Rica. I also have spent the last five years fostering animals with the Humane society as I lived in Asheville and completed my schooling. Through this experience, I have worked with neonatal newborns, pregnant and nursing mothers, potty training- ages, senior pets, and those who take medication. As I create this account, I am traveling and petsitting on the road. My schedule is very flexible because of this, and so I am open to long or short stays. Every animal is unique, and I love to get to know their personalities and preferences! It is my goal to ensure that animal and animal parent both are happy and comfortable.

About: I've always grown up with dogs and have been a dog lover my whole life. I have been house sitting and animal sitting for about 10 years now. I love spending time with dogs and making sure they're still happy while their parents are away! This is a win-win situation for both of us because your dog will be well taken care of, and I get to play with it! All fun aside, I do make sure to pay close attention and take care of each dog's individual needs. Everybody's unique so that will always be taken into account. Let me know what you need and I will make sure to help! I'm also a big fan of exercise so if you've got a dog that loves to run, lets run! I have a very open schedule, most of the time I only work at night and rarely for more than 6 hours. I can usually adjust my schedule as needed. Depending on the dog, I always take extra steps to guarantee that they stay safe. Whether that means taking extra note to make sure all doors to rooms are closed, foods are high out of reach, etc.
