Dog Walking In Southeast Boulder, CO

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: 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: 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.

“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 have had dogs growing up all of my life! I have a special place in my heart for dogs and I have volunteered with animal shelters and taken care of neighbors and families dogs. I am a Pilates Instructor and never work more than a 4 hour block so I have plenty of time in my schedule to help with pet care. When I am in a clients home I am always respectful and follow all rules and regulations set by them. I understand that pets are family and they will be treated with the utmost respect.

“I’d never used the app before but loved how easy it was for Sam to keep me updated both times he visited to walk our dog. Our dog is an old boy and can be a little defensive at times, and pretty slow-moving, but Sam was super patient with him. Sam walked him for a full 30 minutes and from what I can tell, he just let our dog take it slow, sniffing (and peeing on) all the things along the way, which is his absolute favorite thing to do. I’d recommend Sam for sure, and will ask him back if we ever need help with our pets again!”

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.

“Mika is a lovely lady that my dog loved immediately. She's gentle yet firm with my dog, which is needed as she's a pit and stubborn. Mika was also great at communicating and flexible in her schedule. I'll definitely be using 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.

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 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.

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.

“Gretchen is great, accommodated last minute walking needs and very communicative. :)”
