I am currently working on earning my K9 Wilderness Emergency First Aid certification.
“Anna is great! She walks my dog a few days a week and both my pup and I are really happy to have her. She’s very sweet and responsible with my dog and communicates thoroughly around her visits and I feel super comfortable leaving my fur baby on her watch which is really important to me. It's nothing but easy and positive to work with Anna!”
“Wonderful experience with Dean! He went above and beyond my expectations! Dean spent extra time walking my dog and didn’t charge for it. I especially love that Dean is big and strong so I had no worries that my dog could pull away from him! Communication with Dean was easy and fast. I highly recommend him, and so does my dog!!”

About: I'm a lifelong dog owner who has cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments from puppyhood to senior golden years. Looking forward to providing what your dog needs, whether that's cozy-calm companionship, playtime, and/or exploring on walks and hikes. Growing up I raised livestock, and I’m comfortable with a wide range of pet care needs, including administering medications, managing feeding routines, and paying close attention to behavior, safety, and comfort. Because I work on a school-year calendar, I have additional availability during the summer for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to provide dependable care, attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the week. Whether I’m caring for a dog in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, consistency, and comfort by following each dog’s usual routine and paying close attention to their behavior, energy level, and individual quirks.
“It’s really nice to have this service in a small mountain town. We were able to go do the via Ferrata in Ouray because Alaina could walk our dog that day. She was a good communicator, professional, on time and sent updates so I knew Gunny was taken care of. Thank you so much Alaina. We will definitely reach out the next time we are in Telluride.”
“Sierra is amazing. Very reliable and friendly and great with animals. I would use her again and again ! I recommend her highly and you can have confidence knowing she is taking excellent care of your fur babies.”
“Caleb is a great dog walker if you’re visiting Ouray with your fur baby and will have to leave them for the day. He took great care of my pup and my parents dog as well. Sent us pictures, an update and even spent extra time with them. We’re so glad he was able to see our girls while we were out and about! Thanks Caleb!”
About: 12 years as an active Aussie parent and 2 years in professional dog care on Rover and regular walking service with Dogxi in Santa Fe, NM. I work in town with local mountain guides, so I get to live an active life in the mountains and wish to share that energy and attention with your pup! I am available for any and all services, as well as custom support as requested. Capable, friendly, and supportive of whatever circumstance you and your pet have.
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life. My golden retriever and rescue are my entire world and I couldn’t imagine life without them. Adventures, coffee shops and hikes are much more enjoyable with dogs. Your pet will get to join us every morning and evening on our daily walks and may even get to go for a stroll for a pupuccino. This is my third summer in Silverton, Colorado. I watch dogs for weddings, long hikes, events & more. :) I work remotely, so I am available all day. My dogs and I typically walk every morning and evening weather pending. We love to be outdoors anytime it’s nice. I have two very friendly dogs that would love to entertain your dog. If your dogs are dog friendly, my dogs can always stay home with my fiancé. I work remotely so I am available to stay at your home full time with no work interruptions.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Telluride. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Telluride. On Rover:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
