Dog Walking In Southwest Colorado Springs

About: I've taken care of/trained my dog from the age of 7 weeks. I have volunteered for animal shelters for 4 years in various roles such as behavior modification, dog walking, advanced dog walking, and taking specific dogs on hikes. I am extremely in tune with the nonverbal communication/body language of dogs and I have a certificate for the Fear Free Shelter Program. I also have experience taking care of reptiles. I'm currently in college full time but all my classes are in the morning, so the only time I am unavailable to walk dogs is from 9-11 on T/R, 9:30-2 on Mondays, and before 2 on Wednesdays. There is rarely a time I'm not available to dogsit and I'm able to spend a lot of time with animals right now as I don't have a job at the moment since I am focusing on school. I tend to spoil animals - I go out of my way to treat them like royalty. I meticulously ensure pets are safe by making sure they are supervised (especially while outdoors) and by keeping any potential hazards inaccessible. I exclusively utilize positive reinforcement to reward good behavior instead of punishing unwanted ones.

“Kathryn was great with our dog Bogey! She showed up on time, tracked her walk, and even spent a little extra time throwing a ball for him in our yard. The pictures she sent were awesome and gave me piece of mind while I was away. Would definitely book again!!”

“This is the first time I have left Zion in the care of someone else. It was such a relief to know he was in good hands and when I got home he did not exhibit any signs of anxiety, happy and calm pup. Yay. So appreciative of Tess's communication and great care while I was out of town. THANKS!”

Donna R.

“Mackenzie was so awesome! She was so sweet to my pup and really took care of him. She was prompt on his walking schedule, and she gave excellent updates on every walk. I was so happy every time she shared what they did on his walks, which eased my mind greatly. I will definitely rebook with Mackenzie in the future, she was great!”

About: I enjoy dogs more than people. When I used to live on Guam, there was a period i was watching 4 dogs, 2 of which were mine. One happened to be a pit bull, and another happened to be rottweiler. The other 2 were medium sized. Now, that I am no longer in Guam I have 3 dogs that me and my wife take care of. I have my 2 from Guam. I havent been around all types of dogs, but I really enjoy them all. I find their different personalities and their energy levels interesting. I enjoy walking my dogs, so I think it would be fun to walk other peoples dogs. When I’m not working and time permits, i like taking my pups hiking in the mountains with me. Thank you for checking out my profile ! I walk my three girls at least five days a week. And when I have a day off, i love taking them into the mountains. Each dog is different. Different pup parents have different plans for their babies, so their rules come first. But if permitted, i would love to share the same trails I explore with our four legged partners.

“Sarah was amazing with my pup and went out of her way to meet him in person prior to booking. She sent multiple photos of him every day, was quick to respond to my messages and great at handling him! This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely be using again!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was born and I’ve gotten the pleasure to help train them! I am a runner with lots of energy if your doggo needs a good run! I am a teacher with flexible weekends and evenings! I love walking, hiking and running; I live a very active life and would love to help your pup do the same. During the summer, I have full day availability since I have the summer off! I have a crate if that is needed for your dog and a super sweet dog who will keep your dog company if needed or wanted. They can also be separated if that is the preference.

“Jennie was very flexible and accomodating with scheduling an initial meeting and walking our dog while we had a last minute trip out of town. He can be a handful on walks and she did really well with him! On top of that, our flight got cancelled and Jennie was nice enough to walk and feed our dog an extra night and morning before we could get home! I really appreciated that she didn't just leave him to fend for himself alone and made time in her schedule to help us out!”
