Dog Walking In South Boulder, CO

“Donovan walked our dog 3x last week. He did a great job. He communicated with me and sent photos of our dog. It went well and we appreciated Donovan’s help!”

About: Hello! My name is Logan and I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. I grew up with several animals and always prefer a space with a furry friend. I have hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I pride myself on building trust through a gentle and adaptable approach tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I live an active lifestyle and am experienced with providing lengthy walks, hikes, play sessions, and exercise focused care. I will create a play schedule catered to your specific pet to keep them engaged, content, and comfortably tired by the end of the day. I’ve previously worked as a medical assistant which has given me a strong background in basic first aid and general medical care. I also can receive additional support from my sibling who is a certified vet technician: they are always on call to assist with their guidance and expertise. I am currently going to school part time, and am available most days after 12:00 pm. My afternoons, evening, and weekends are entirely free to spend time with your pals :) As of now, I primarily service clients in their own homes and familiar environments. Safety is always my first priority: I will have an in depth conversation with you to learn about your pet’s personality, routines, behaviors, and potential triggers as well as discuss specific protocols and precautions that are to be followed. I will also conduct my own assessment of the space to identify and minimize any other possible hazards. I believe pets thrive best through activity and enrichment. I focus on providing exercise and experiences catered to their needs in order for them to stay content, stimulated, and comfortable.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, primarily caring for cats and dogs. My experience includes dog walking, feeding, playtime, administering basic routines, and cleaning litter boxes. I’ve especially worked with older cats and dogs, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care they often need. I also have two cats of my own back home, giving me firsthand experience in daily responsibilities and expectations of being a pet owner. Because of this, I’m very mindful about my care towards your pet! I’m currently a second-year, first-generation student at CU Boulder, balancing school and a Work-Study position. I’m generally available Thursday through Monday after 1 PM and can be flexible with advance notice. When I house sit I treat every home with respect, focusing on your pet while you’re away. I understand leaving your home and furry friend to a stranger can be worrisome so I do my best to comfort your pet and keep your space the way you like it.

About: I pet-sit frequently for family and neighbors and it brings be joy that they entrust me with there pets. I grew up with two large dogs, a family cat, and eventually a cat to care for on my own. I learned to care for elderly dogs when mine grew old as well as knowing the discipline of a cat for myself. I am a college student. Over the summer I have a morning class from 9-10am Monday through Friday, but besides that my days are open. I hace a fenced in back yard from my previous dogs as well as a friendly neighbor dog who likes to run alongside the fence (on the other side) when there is a dog in our yard. I live in a one story home which gave easier access to elderly pets.

“Great Person, patient & kind dog walker, always responsible and on time. Kim helped me out nearly every day for two weeks while I recovered from surgery. She's easy to communicate with and a pleasure to greet at the door each day. Would definitely hire her again.”

About: I’ve cared for pets for friends, neighbors, and family, including dogs, cats, and reptiles. I genuinely love being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I have experience with dog walking, feeding, playtime, and basic care routines, and I’m happy to do drop-ins, walks, or house sitting depending on your needs. I also have a cat of my own and grew up with an English lab who lived to 14, so I understand the level of care, attention, and patience pets deserve. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pets like my own. I’m currently working part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I can adjust to your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, care, and consistency they’re used to while you’re away. I prioritize making pets feel comfortable and safe in their own environment. When house sitting or doing drop-ins, I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m very attentive and respectful of your home, and I’ll always keep you updated so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: You know when you’re out in public and your dog unexpectedly rushes straight over to say hi to a random (specific) person then needs to be physically pulled away even after they got the attention they wanted? For some reason, I’ve always been that random but specific person. Sometimes it feels like dogs suddenly materialize in front of me or like their “hello” is really more of a “it’s about time you got here!” Dogs (and cats, for that matter) also tend to insist on cuddling up next to me instead of their usual pick when I visit their homes (and I’m certainly not complaining). I currently only have cats, but I grew up with three dogs (a chocolate lab, a miniature schnauzer, and a Pomeranian) and have learned how to love both in the ways they want me to love them. What I love most about dogs is how pure they are. We all appreciate their undying loyalty, of course, but the sweet, unconditionally caring emotional presence that dogs carry themselves with is one of the things that makes life worth living. I consider non-human animals to be people too, and dogs are definitely among the best non-human animals. I would be just as excited as your dog(s) would be to make a new friend! My availability is flexible in general but particularly in terms of the time of day. I have a circadian rhythm difference that makes my sleep “schedule” change throughout each week, so if I’m given sufficient notice (48 hours), I’m easily able to modify my waking hours if your pet has time-sensitive needs. As mentioned in my bios, animals seem to naturally see me as a Disney princess. However, even though I’m very confident that I’ll get along with your pet(s) without any issues, their friendship is theirs to give, not mine to demand. Their needs are my top priority (and would be even if I weren’t petsitting); I recognize that some animals need lots of time and space to truly feel safe, and giving them that time and space is the only way to create a mutually comforting environment. Even if your dog/cat actually is insatiably social and unfailingly affectionate, I want to be sure that I get an idea of any individual boundaries or strong preferences beforehand so that I’m able to treat them with the same respect and care that I would a human person. As far as dogs and cats that want lots of love and affection, I am happy to give and share it! My cats sleep with me most nights and I often have one on my lap or next to my leg throughout a given day. Either way, I’ll follow your pet’s lead.

“Linnea is lovely. She communicated clearly and promptly and was always right on time. I needed to cancel one day I had booked and she was flexible in accommodating the change and rescheduling on a different day which I really appreciated. .Our dog was always happy to see her for hour long walks and happy when she came home.”

“Caroline took so many pictures on a nice long walk with our pup. It was obvious she enjoyed seeing her and had a great time. Thanks Caroline!”

“Marcia was great with our dog. It is not an "easy" dog; she has reaction issues with other dogs and strange people. However, since the first day, Marcia has been able to connect with her, and everything has been perfect. Thank you so much Marcia”

About: I’ve been in love with dogs since I can remember, and my favorite type of work/volunteering has always involved them. When I was 15 I started dog sitting for my family friend, I watched and walked little Johnny twice a week for almost 2 years while his mom was out doing errands. After that, I started volunteering at the LoveJoy Foundation, an animal rescue in California. I walked dogs, cleaned crates, and even helped with vaccinations once a week at adoption events! My time at LoveJoy was one of the most rewarding experiences ever, and it taught me how to work with different types of dogs and different behaviors, including neurodivergent and disabled pups. I have a family dog of my own, sweet Montana, who will always be my best friend no matter how far apart we are. Montana is a bit older now, so we mostly enjoy hanging out on the couch together, but in his prior years I loved taking him on hikes, to the dog beach, and really anywhere that I went. I also have a crested gecko named Axel! I’m currently a junior at CU Boulder, so I do have school during the week but only for about 2-3 hours each day, most of the time I’m home to care for a pup! I absolutely love being outside here in Boulder, it’s too beautiful not to be, so walks and adventures are plentiful! I have a large house for your pup to roam around, but if it’s preferred that he stays in a crate during the day I can accommodate that too! My yard isn’t fenced, but we would have a lot of outside time at the park and on walks exploring all corners of Boulder. I do have experience dog sitting in client’s homes, I know that some dogs are probably more comfortable staying in their own home!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life, up to 4 at a time at some points, and after moving out here I want more dogs back in my life! If staying with me, my house has a dog door and a fenced in backyard, and I live right by Washington Park so your dog will come home tired after hanging out with me and my dog, Yuki. If I’d be walking your dog, I’m a very active guy and have a lot of love to give, so your dog would be in very good hands! My dog Yuki is very friendly and playful, I’m sure she’d get along great with your fuzz child. If you have any questions I’m an open book, I look forward to meeting your dog!

About: All dogs are welcome for short stays. For longer stays, fit dogs only. I hike frequently and I'm only interested in petsitting dogs who are competent athletes and would love to join. We'll have an adventure! I have had pets my whole life. I currently have a 5lb Chorkie named Norman. He loves dogs and cats of all sizes and needs more friends. He has hiked up to 18mi at a time with his own legs and would love to do it with dog friends. I also have a cat, Archie. He loves well-behaved dogs. He does not like to be barked at. I have a yard where I can let dogs play, and I work for a pet toy and treat manufacturer. I work from home and can be available all day on weekdays and evenings. I'm away every 4th weekend and unavailable for pet sitting. Word. I have a fenced yard where dogs can play and I live right next to a park. I love hiking and snowshoeing and biking. I would be happy to take a bigger dog on adventures with me if I have any planned.

About: I currently work as an animal care attendant at a local dog day care and boarding facility. I have also had former experience caring for animals by volunteering at the Humane Society for over a year and a half and from previous dog sitting jobs. I specialize in dog care, but enjoy taking cat care opportunities as well. I am currently working part time and have extensive flexibility throughout weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I am able to fit pet care into my daily routine as my shifts are never very long, so I will be able to spend lots of time with your furry friends! I consider myself extremely attentive to pets and work hard to provide the care and love that your dog needs. I also enjoy long walks and am willing to go on as many as your pet may require based on their own personal needs. I will treat your home with respect and follow instructions just as you lay them out. Your dog will be happy and your home will be clean and ready to welcome you back when you return.

About: I've been a dog sitter for over 5 years. I have cared for pups of all kinds, from tiny Chihuahuas to big lovable Great Danes! I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always treat them with patience, love, and respect. I myself have a labradoodle at home who is a total goofball and so lovable. Whether it’s going on long walks, playtime, or just hanging out and giving belly rubs, I’m happy to meet your pet’s unique needs. I also have experience caring for dogs with special routines including giving medication and sticking to specific schedules. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are always my top priority! I am a full-time college student. Pet care fits perfectly into my flexible college schedule! I love spending my free time walking, playing, and caring for pets whenever I’m not in class. With that said my schedule is very open during the day with long breaks in between class. I also have Mondays, Wednesday, and Friday-Sunday totally free! I care for pets in their own home where they feel most safe and comfortable. I follow their routines, keep their space clean, and make sure they feel loved, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Alyson is incredible! I loved that she did a meet and greet before the first walk. She asked great questions and learned about our two girls. We felt very comfortable knowing she would be checking in on them while we are out for the day. Would highly recommend!”

“Emma was WONDERFUL! We booked her last minute and she totally alleviated all our stress. We went away for the weekend and she gave us our man Gus long and good walks and gave some love to our cats, even going as far to search for one that was hiding. 10/10, we will be booking her in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have helped care for them from when they were puppies through adulthood. Over the years, I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding, playtime, training reinforcement, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. I’ve also helped care for dogs belonging to family members, which has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Growing up with dogs has taught me how important patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality is when caring for them. I’m currently a graduate student doing research, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate walks throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so fitting dog walks into my daily routine comes naturally. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, regular exercise, or some extra attention during the day, I’ll work to provide reliable and consistent care. When caring for pets, my priority is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand every dog has different personalities, energy levels, and routines, so I try to adapt to what works best for them. Whether in your home or out on walks, I focus on keeping pets safe, giving them plenty of attention, and following any instructions or routines you provide to ensure consistency and trust.

“Kristen is fabulous and I highly recommend her for any dog care needs!! My dog absolutely loves her. She is extremely responsible, communicative, and easy to work with. Thank you!”

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I've also helped friends and family with pet sitting, walks, feeding, and daily care. Being around dogs has taught me how to understand their different personalities and needs, whether it's an energetic puppy that needs lots of attention or an older dog that requires extra patience and care. I treat every pet like they're my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'm currently working a part time job around 8-16 hours a week and I am a full time student but my actual class time is about 2 hours on Tuesdays and thurdays. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so their pets feel comfortable and stress free. I provide fresh food and water, take dogs on walks, give them plenty of lovin and playtime, and make sure they get any specific care requested by the owner. I also enjoy keeping the home clean and tidy, sending updates when requested. But my priority will always be the pet's safety, comfort, and well-being while their human is away.
