Dog Walking South Boulder

“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: 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.

“Lindsay has been wonderful with our pup, Hudson! She took the time to get to know Hudson before beginning his regular walks, which gave us great peace of mind and made the transition seamless. Hudson has a lot of energy and Lindsay does an excellent job ensuring he gets the exercise and activity he needs. She is also highly responsive, organized and proactive with scheduling, which we greatly appreciate. We’ve had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and professional dog walker”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes growing up and have always been the biggest dog lover! I have experience with raising puppies, caring for senior dogs, and working with dogs with different personalities! I would love nothing more than to bring some joy and adventure to your pups! As a fellow dog owner, I know that dogs are not only pets, but family. I have experience walking big, strong dogs, so I’ll be able to hold and manage keeping your dog on route and out of trouble. I also have plenty experience taking care of dogs when owners have been away. I make sure they get fed on time, are let out to use the bathroom, get plenty of cuddles and pets, and play any games they want to! If your dog needs a bath, I also have taken multiple dogs for a self wash and have dealed with the worst of the worst. I’m currently on the job hunt, so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pups! Really any day or time should work for me! I want to be sure that your dog is as comfortable as possible in their own home, because consistency helps them feel safe when their owners are away. I’ll follow your feeding schedule, walk times, and any other specific instructions you leave me. I’ll be sure to make sure all doors and gates are always properly closed and help keep the home tidy and secure!

“Samantha was so amazing taking Kona out!! Really appreciate her help and communication!”

“Very tolerant of my anxious girl!”

“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!”

About: I've grown up around animals for my whole life, from fish, to cats and dogs. I love all animals and strive to give the best pet care possible for your furry friends! I have past experience with volunteering at Boulder Valley Humane Society as a kennel cleaner and I take care of my senior dog Bruno and cat Kiki. I can administer pet medication such as tinctures, pills, injections etc. I make sure to always treat every animal like they're my own, and can handle the responsibility of multiple animals. I'm currently an undergrad college student at CU Boulder who does not have a full time job, so I'll always be able to prioritize your pets and give them the best quality care and attention. I'm also very active, I love to hike, walk and run so I can keep up with energized pups! I'm very flexible and can tailor my schedule to fit your pets needs. I cannot accept any pets in my home (due to my senior dog), however, I am more than happy to take care of pets in your home. I can stay for extended periods of time and do overnight/multi day stays. You can trust me to care for your pets just like my own. If you'd like, I can also send pictures and confirmation texts for reassurance or if you're just missing your furry companion!

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: As an experienced educator and animal lover, I provide thoughtful, trustworthy care and joyfully long sniffy walks for your best friend. I am also a devoted rescue dog mama! My dog, Patti, has taught me so much about building trust, reading canine body language, and helping anxious dogs feel safe and confident. Through caring for her, I’ve gained experience with positive reinforcement, maintaining routines, and understanding that every dog has their own personality and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and adventurous, or shy and slow to warm up, I’ll make sure they feel cared for, respected, and loved. I can’t wait to meet your baby! I’m currently fun-employed! I am taking some time off from teaching for the summer to spend time outdoors- caring for the land and animals. I am pursuing the art of the gleeful frolic! That is to say, my schedule is open and flexible :) I live in a ground floor apartment with a private fenced in patio and immediate access to a shared, unfenced yard. I live steps away from a pond and park where my dog loves to sniff, bound, and chase squirrels to no end. Patti and I hike Boulder trails together often and I know how she would love a companion! I am well-versed in following care instructions and am serious about respecting your dog’s health and safety plan to ensure everyone is happy, comfortable, and unharmed.

“Lila helped us in a pinch! She made herself available for meet n greet and kept us updated day of walks for Callie.”

About: I am active, outdoorsy, and I will make your dog the center of my universe for as long as you need. I was raised around dogs, cats, and many random smaller pets, so I can handle just about anything. I frequently go on hikes and trail runs, and love to bring dogs with me. I’m currently unemployed and taking a break from classes, so I have near infinite free time this summer and can be there for your pet whenever you need. I live in a 4 bedroom apartment, but I live alone now so there is quite a lot of room. Given my overwhelming amount of free time I will treat your pet with the constant attention they crave.

“Linnea has done weekly walks for me twice a week since January and she has been nothing but spectacular. Would recommend her for any service.”

About: Hi there! I've grown up around dogs my whole life and I love all types and breeds: big, small, active, or cuddly. I’ve been dog sitting for over 10 years and have met so many wonderful clients (both canine and human!). I am a wildlife biologist so I am very well versed and interested in animal behavior and can help reinforce any training you’d like. My main options are dog walking, dog boarding, drop in visits. I am occasionally available for house sitting as well but due to my own pets, it’s hard for me to stay overnight unless the proximity is close (although I’m happy to check in several times during a day or discuss other flexible arrangements). I love walking, running, and hiking and would love to get your pup some exercise- either around town or on some of the local trails. I’m working from home currently so will be available to give your pup the utmost attention and ensure they have a fun and stimulated time. My schedule is very flexible so please don’t hesitate to drop me a line! I care for each and every pet like it is my own. Safety is my utmost concern. I’ll be sure your dog has a fabulous time and provide a full report of our hang outs including lots of pics! I My dog Riley is very friendly and would love to tire your friendly pups out with lots of play all day if needed.

“There are people who simply provide a service, and then there are people who become an indispensable part of your life. Ariel is firmly in the latter category. She became a trusted partner during a particularly difficult chapter while I was recovering from major surgery. Knowing that Milo was in her care brought a level of reassurance that is hard to overstate. Aerial is dependability personified, always on time, often to the minute, with clear, prompt communication and remarkable flexibility whenever last-minute changes arose. Not once did those adjustments come with the slightest hint of frustration or attitude. She simply found a way to make things work. What truly sets her apart, however, is her relationship with dogs. She genuinely loves Milo, and it’s obvious he feels the same. She has the rare combination of warmth, confidence, and deep experience that allows her to take charge naturally. Her calm, capable presence inspires trust, and you immediately know your dog is in exceptionally good hands. My gratitude for Ariel goes far beyond dog walking. She provided peace of mind when I needed it most, and for that I will always be thankful. I recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog with professionalism, reliability, and genuine affection. Absolute Gem!!”

About: Hello! I have grown up with dogs my whole life and began watching dogs when I was around 15 years old. I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats! I enjoy spending time with animals and can take great care of your furbabies! I live in Boulder. I am in school and work part time.

About: I’ve taken care of every dog personality you can think of from aggressive to the most shy thing you’ve ever seen. I really try to connect and get on your dog’s level while achieving a good exercise for them! I work full time, but have Wednesdays and Saturdays off that I usually spend hiking. I’d love to get your dog out on a hike and get them nice and worn out for you! I have knowledge in a lot of different pet care, it really depends on the animal and owner. Any specific requests are usually fairly easy to accommodate and your animals’ safety is my top priority.

“Aubrey has been so great walking my 3yr old German Shepherd Lab mix every single day! His leash walking has improved since she started walking him, too so she’s doing a great job. Aubrey really goes above and beyond with her notes and is good about reaching out with any questions about my preferences.”

About: Hello! My name is Megan, and I recently received my master’s degree from CU Boulder. As I search for a full-time position, I have a flexible schedule and would love to spend some time helping care for your pets. My main goal of being on Rover is to gain experience with dogs so that I can be prepared to adopt my own someday! To help me gain confidence and comfortability for achieving that goal, I would work best with smaller size dogs. I’m also happy to spend time with older dogs that may just want some companionship, attention, and a calm presence while their owners are away. While I haven’t owned a dog myself, I’ve helped care for friends’ dogs over the years. I’m dependable, organized, and flexible with scheduling. I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help! I’m currently job searching, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time throughout the day and week for pet care. We can work something out and I will adjust my schedule as needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to follow the owner’s routine and instructions as closely as possible so their pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m very mindful and respectful of household rules, including where I’m allowed in the home, feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific care instructions. I also make sure pets get attention, playtime, and companionship during my visit.

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.
