Dog Walking Spout Springs

About: Growing up with dogs and cats my whole life along with volunteer work through the Humane society led me to graduate with a Bachelors Degree in Animal Sciences and an interest in veterinary work. I later in life worked as an Animal Law Enforcement Officer through the Humane Society in Colorado Springs, helping to protect the safety and well-being of animals in the area. Now living here in Cameron looking to help improve the health and well-being of local pets with exercise and enrichment. I am currently a stay at home mom with young school age children. Taking care of pets allows me the freedom of daily exercise, and knowing I'm making a positive impact in the lives of animals and their owners while working within my busy schedule of mom-life. I have a very friendly dog whose great on her leash and I'm more than willing to accommodate the behavioral and exercise needs of other pups while on their walks. As a previously trained Animal Law Enforcement officer, I have experience handling unpredictable environments to ensure the safety of your pet.

“Tara is a lifesaver for me. I couldnt be more thankful I found her. She is attentive to all my annoying dog mom requests, quick to respond to me, and sends me reassuring updates all throughout the day. Im in a stressful new position and it was just a weight off my shoulders to find someone who cares for dog as much as she does!”

“I booked Elise - hours before we left on our trip. we carefully looked through our options. distance and then trying to capture the personality of the person. AND WE GOT THE JACKPOT. my aging boy was so loved and happy . the comfort given to my family by Elise is unmatched - and I m flirting with the idea of having Elise cone while we are home. like he can have his own "friends" like "mom look , my friends are here.." he deserves it. Elise is a 10/10 and u believe we have found someone I actually trust with my dog - for context, my mother has only ever watched my daughter for 4 hours before. never over night . - I had my dog first - so so ... just saying.”

About: I've cared for dogs since I was 10, from puppies to seniors. I'm accepted into a Vet Tech program, and I care for a puppy, senior dog, and leopard gecko. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I work part-time at a bakery, leaving plenty of time before and after work for dependable, attentive pet care. I provide care in clients' homes, following each pet's routine with feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and regular updates for owners' peace of mind.

About: I have had a dog in my family since I was a child. I have experience with puppies and elderly dogs. We have had high energy dogs and those who just sleep all day. Feel assured I can help your dog feel at home while you're away! I do work full time, I have a dog in the house who would love to have some friends around the house. We wake early and are home by 4:30 so lots of play time in the evening. I do have an unfenced yard so if you have a runner please let me know, I do have five acres we get to explore. I have a pet in the home super friendly cocker spaniel, he is crated for sleep. We have had many dogs uncrated so that is up to you. I can follow rules whatever is needed for you to feel comfortable. We have plenty of time and space for extra four footed friends in the house! I have two little kiddos 10 and 7 years old who also help get lots of energy out. If your pet likes to run off and or is an escape artist make sure to let me know. Please do your best to answer screening questions honestly because these answers will help me best decide if we are a match moving forward with the request. Providing honest answers to my screening questions will make sure everyone is safe and happy. I want to make sure we all have a great visit.

About: I've had all sorts of dogs growing up, including my own good boy now. I've been able to train my own dog since he was young so I can help with training as needed for puppies. We now have a house full of dogs (aka 3 big babies) and do everything we can to keep them happy and healthy! Lots of walks, a big backyard, play dates, etc. I take pride in making sure our babies get the best of the best and will ensure your baby gets the same! I currently work from home on the weekdays so I am fairly free to make drop in visits during the day while you're working. I'm also free on most weekends if you need help then too! I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room for your dog to run around, it's even 6 ft for those escape artists. We also have lots of toys in the yard for your dog to play with. For those that need walks, we have plenty of trails and open space around the corner to stretch out their legs even more!

“Meghan was an outstanding dog walker. She played with Steven my German shepherd and sometimes hung out even longer than she was required to. She even cleaned his ears and put medication in them for me because poor Steven suffers from frequent ear infections. Which I am certain wasn’t easy to do , Steven hates it when you touch his ears. She left detailed notes and you could tell genuinely cared for Steven. Highly recommend”

“Provided excellent care at the last minute. Easy to communicate with, followed instructions, Took great care of fuebabies & kept safety in mind whole out of walks.”

About: I have been in the animal care trade for over 20 years and been pet sitting since I was 14 years old. Working in shelters, Vet Clinics, and pet sitting has given me the opportunity to take care of a wide variety of animals. Most notably, I have cared for aging pets, farm animals, and disabled pets and administered multiple types of medication. My goal is to give the best care to every animal I meet. I am a stay at home mother right now. So I am free 90% of the time. Other then when I am in car line I am free to take care of your animal. I do not stay overnight due to being a mom. However when you book me for an overnight stay I will stop by your home at least 3 times a day. Stopping by very early in the morning, mid-day, and later at night. I try to stay at least an hour each time. I will treat your animal as if there are one of my own. I will try to make it a stress free time for you pet. So that when you get home you will have the happiest and healthiest pet. I can access Fort Liberty. Can give references upon request.

About: I have had pets when I was 8 years olds and have helped my dad train our dogs sense then. My care in short is having your pets being a pain in my butt rather than being a pain in yours. It fits really well especially when it comes to feeding and playing with my pets, I’m really good at applying a schedule and keeping to it. I would care for your pets as if they were my own. And if I had them in my house I’d have them socialize with my pets as much as I can do it’s as best of a expierience for them as possible

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child - both dogs and cats! I have done it as a drop in service, staying overnight at someone else’s home, and as boarding in my own home. We love all dogs, and frequently watch our friend’s dogs of all ages. Currently live on base so must have base access for boarding! I am a stay-at-home-mom so I am home all day - your dog would never be by themselves! We let our own dogs outside to play multiple times a day, and always have water out for them. We also frequently go on walks in the evening to get that last bit of energy out. I have a fenced in yard, and 2 super friendly golden retrievers. Charlie (5) and Emma (4) are both neutered/spayed, and love other dogs. We allow them on the furniture which would extend to your pet too, but we can also crate your pet too if that’s what you prefer.

“Makya was amazing with my two dogs. They had never been left alone but I’ve had trouble boarding them. Even Rolo who takes a bit to warm up ended up loving her. She walked them and hung out with them and really gave me peace of mind so I could enjoy my trip. I recommend her highly!!!”

“Amazing! You can tell she really cares about what she does!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since childhood. Now as an adult I have fostered and adopted. I have two of my own in my home with my husband and two boys. We live right by a park and love to go run and play. The dogs love to run and wrestle but also love their chill time. I also have a fenced in small backyard for them as well. I love dogs AND cats. I had a cat but left her with my mom in NY where she is MUCH happier for a more relaxed lifestyle during here 13th year of age. ❤️ I have a huge heart for all things and I was told I should sign up for Rover and not just use it lol. Aside from doing sports with my kids we are around the house for the most part. Our pups are a permanent fixture in our lives. I have a fenced in yard, and I own my home. I try not to let “puppies” on our carpeted 2nd floor bc it’s a new carpet and if their is an accident it would be unfortunate. But accidents happen and I’m understanding to that. . My 14 month old pup doesn’t go up normally but sometimes he comes up for story time with the kids, it’s so sweet. I can also pop into your home and watch your pet. That’s fine too. It all depends on the family and what’s the best fit for all.

About: Hi there! My name is Katie and I am so happy you are considering me to care for your animals. Pet sitting is my full time commitment, and I am accepting new and returning clients with open arms. I am available and eager to offer drop in visits and dog walking 7 days a week. I also offer doggy daycare and boarding to one family at a time in order to give your animals one on one attention and the best care possible. I do prefer to sit your animals at least once before booking for boarding to allow your dog to get comfortable with me and my home before taking them for multiple days with no soft introduction. I accept same day bookings if I have availability for walking and drop in visits, as I am very understanding that life is unpredictable and sometimes things happen outside of our control. I also offer same day meet and greets if a request is made before 5pm. I do have experience with elderly animals, and animals with underlying health conditions. I have a 4 year old husky who has epilepsy, and I have been trained by my dogs vet on how to properly care for an animal during a medical emergency. I am comfortable administering medication and I will ensure your animal stays on their routine for their medicine, as I know personally how important it is to do so. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions! I always have my phone close by and commit to answering pet parents in a timely manner. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

About: I've been pet sitting for some family friends for the last 5 years and have watched dogs of various breeds for 4 different families. Watching both dogs and just recently in the last year cats. So far I've watched up to 3 dogs at a time. I'm happy to take them out for walks, make sure that they go to the bathroom, that they've eaten, medicine taken, and their water bowls are always filled. I've watched both senior dogs and young dogs. If your sweet fur child has any need any specific needs that need to be followed just let me know and I'll make sure it's done! I'll also make sure to give you updates on anything that happens! Like when I get to your place, when I'm about to leave, if your furry friend gets sick, has an accident, or just general update how well they're doing. I'm also working to get a pet cpr certification. I do ask that before I watch your furry buddy that I come over for a short visit before the scheduled date to meet your furry friend, so you and your furry friend can both trust me, and we can discuss any specific details and get a key to your house if needed. I'm a single game developer and artist who works from home. So I've got a good amount of free time throughout the day, where I can stop working and drive over to help out if your in need of any. If your someone that works an early morning shift and you need someone at your house by 6 to 7 AM at the latest to let your dogs go to the bathroom, make sure they're fed, medicine taken, or take them out for a short walk. I can be there. I can promise you that I'm a rule follower. If you tell me not to do something I won't do it. If I am unsure of something I can promise you that I'll send you a text or give you a call to get your input on whatever it is that I'm unsure of. I'll also make sure to give updates, and let you know when I've arrived and when I'm leaving. I'll also make sure to let you know if any accidents happen, and clean up any mess that may happen!

About: I have been a dog mom for 10 years now. I have 2 dogs - Sidney and Rocky. I am comfortable with all dog sizes and breeds. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty open when I’m not running kids to appointments. I am open to either short term or long term visits. I own a home with a large backyard. We do have young children. Rocky takes a little bit to warm up and Sidney is a grumpy lady if she doesn’t get adequate nap time but they both like to play.

“I cannot say enough about Haley! I was weary having a stranger come to my home to walk my dog. She made me feel at ease at our initial meeting and my dog loved her. She was very patient with her-puppy stage, leash pulling, and jumping. She gave tips on some behaviors and it was helpful. I will continue to use Haley's services!”

About: I love dogs and have always enjoyed taking care of them for friends and loved ones. I recently got out of the USMC and started college, a friend recommended that I try dog sitting so here I am. I have a fairly open schedule as I peruse online courses for college. I tend to exercise weekly and would love to bring any dogs with me. I attend church on Sunday mornings and sometimes have youth related activities in the afternoon but will still be able to get back to take care of any pet I sit. I let pets on some of the furniture in my home, besides that if there are any special guide lines for them I have no problem fallowing them to a T. I am experienced with multiple types of dog breeds and any needs they may have.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I absolutely love them! I have German Shepard mix who I have had as a rescue since he was 3 weeks old and had to bottle feed. Now he's just a huge mama's boy. He gets along with every type of dog and loves to play! I also resuced a Great Pyrenees mix named Sega and he is the sweetest thing in the world and loves having new friends to play with! I make my own dog treats. I live on post but I can pick up and drop off. I love to exercise so the dogs will be tired by the time you pick them up. I am at home most of the time so your dog will have constant love and affection! I have cared for every type of dog from small to large. I love them all! Puppies are welcome. My dogs are so gentle. The only problem you would have to worry about is how much fun you are missing out on! I am currently not working. I do have a baby so I plan my day to the minute to keep her entertained. She is an animal lover as well. I am very protective. I will treat your baby as my own and will not let them out of my sight. I have a fenced yard and gates in my home to prevent access to the kitchen to prevent accidental ingestion.
