Dog Walking Vail

About: Hello everyone! We are Kristin and Bryce Peterson and we are the proud dog parents of two lab mixes, Ellie and Koda. We have been a pet owners our whole lives and would love the opportunity to help serve our community by helping you and your fur babies. Because we've been pet owners all our lives, we understand the respect, care, and attention each fur baby requires and deserves. Our dogs are like our children and we are ready to treat your fur baby like part of the family! We are currently available 7 days a week. We would love to drop in on your pet at your home or take them for a nice walk! All we need to know before hand is what you would like done during your drop ins. Our dogs Ellie and Koda love to meet new friends so we are happy to bring them along on walks and drop ins if you'd like your pet to have some extra socialization during the visits. Kristin is currently a stay-at-home mom, so her availability is pretty flexible to meet your needs. Bryce currently works full-time but loves to fill his free time with his family and dogs. Together, our availability typically fits into whatever needs you have. We understand the importance of making your pets feel safe and comfortable in the home. Because of this, we do require that we schedule a meet and greet at least 24 hours in advance to your booking so that your fur baby knows us and we know them. We want to make sure that we are not seen as strangers and that your fur baby isn't going to feel scared or in danger in any way. We want to make sure they are treated like family when they are with us!

About: I’m a lifelong pet lover who’s had my own dogs and cats for years. While I’m new to pet sitting professionally, I’m reliable, patient, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll treat yours like they’re my own. Every pet has a different personality and varying needs and I’m happy to follow yours and your pets routine to make you as comfortable as possible. I currently have flexibility in my schedule to adjust to your needs for daily activities or overnight sitting. Depending on what your specific needs are, I am able to cater to each pet. I have a home with a fenced yard and no other pets in the home. I do have small children so providing a crate for overnights is needed and no aggressive history for care in my home.

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats, of all ages, pretty much my entire life. I have experience with grooming such as nail trimming and bathing. I am currently a student but my schedule is pretty open during the week and weekend. I am also available on holidays. The only day that I am not fully available is Sunday from 6pm-9pm due to a weekly engagement. As a dog walker, I will take your dogs on walks, take them to the park, or whatever you need me to. If I am dropping by to check on your pets, I will check on all the necessities and make sure to locate all pets (and send pictures).

“We are just thrilled to have met Nikki (Ulema)! She was wonderful to work with and took great care of our dog, Nala. They went on daily walks/adventures which even included a special treat at the coffee shop (Puppuccino!) We really enjoyed the daily photos of Nala, while we were away from home. We will definitely be calling on her again!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have pet sat for family and friends over the years. I even pet sat 2 birds when I was 11, learning that I am not a bird person 😅 but I love the pups. I have a year of professional dog walking experience and am excited to be able to add pet sitting. I have helped train the family pets my whole life mostly the basics: perimeter training, no jumping, stay, sit, etc. I will implement any training techniques and goals you have been working on with your pup to be sure they keep growing. If your pup is in their final years I would love to help you make them the best. I was able to see my beloved Rocky and Zuri through all their days. Zuri's hips where too weak in the end. A almost hundred pound rhodesian ridgeback, I would carry her when needed often having her lay on blankets and pulling her around the house then lifting her out side. She was such a sweet girl her and Rocky both lived for about 14 years. I am available any day after 2pm. I work mornings so am not always availble in the mornings. During the summer this does lead to later walk times since the heat is so much. If sitting it would also mean really early walks on my work days. When am taking care of another's beloved pup I do my best to maintain their routine and any precaution their parents take. I.e. keep on the leash, watch that they don't eat stuff, crating when home alone, etc.

About: I am a current veterinary technician with two dogs of my own. Experience caring for pets, administering medications, fear free certified and providing compassionate care Pet care is already part of my daily routine. As a veterinary technician and pet owner who works full time, your pets needs will come first as if they’re my own. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. Pets in my care are supervised closely and fed separately for safety. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help reduce stress while their owners are away.

About: Ive had experience with all breeds and sizes. I earn trust quickly with most dogs. Ive had all ages of dogs as well geriatric end of life. Walks to the dog park, extended vacations or just a midday check. Im happy to make sure your fur baby is safe and sound. I have full availability for the present time. I love all animals and to be able to make them my ful time job would be a dream. I always speak with a gentle voice and avoid heads for the first visit until the dog offers to be pet. Ive got along with most every dog I've ever been in contact with.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. You name the animal, I’ve lived with it and cared for it! From horses, to chickens, to birds, to cats, to dogs, I’ve done it all! Along with this, I have experience with animals small and large, so the size of your baby means absolutely nothing negative to me! I know it can be hard to find a sitter for a breed that may be a little more intimidating to some, but I believe that every animal deserves the same love. I have experience giving dogs pills, and I know how particular they can be about taking them. That’s nothing to worry about with me, I always make sure to find something specific to that dog that will get them to take their medicine! I also know how hard it can be to find a sitter for a rescue, especially one who is still timid. I’ve grown up with rescues, and know the level of patience and love they need to be shown. I am also able to provide support to senior dogs or dogs who need a little more help getting around, I’m able to make them comfortable and happy! I also have experience training puppies to do basic tricks, such as sit, speak, shake, and lay down. I would absolutely love to provide your baby with the care they deserve! I currently pet and house sit as my income. This means that my top priority is ensuring that your baby is taken care of at all times. I have an extremely open and flexible schedule, and am able to do check ins at almost whatever time you prefer. I know that when I’m entering your home, I’m also entering your pets home. It can be scary for them to have a stranger come to their safe space, but I provide patience and an upbeat personality to make them feel comfortable. I’m cautious, but also loving and wanting to do everything I can to make your pet happy! I respect both your space and your pets.

“Selina was a pleasure to have walk Rocky. She was on time, communicated well and Rocky was tuckered out and happy after his walk. We look forward to booking her again soon.”

“Kiahna was absolutely amazing. I couldn’t recommend her more. I came back into town and my previous dog walker was no longer available and she stepped right in and was able to help me out when I needed it. She was great with my pup, took care of all of her needs and more importantly took care of her.”

I have a Staffordshire bull terrier and my dad has two cats of his own I adore. Looking to work in my future as a game warden and have experience completing a veterinary assistant certification at pima community college and a certification from durrel on completing a endangered species recovery course in the United kingdom (jersey channel islands). This is something I've been looking forward doing for a while; having a wonderful time looking after such wonderful pets. Simply when an animal is happy I'm happy. I will always take time for your pet as they deserve as much time and attention as possible which I can definitely give to them. Make sure they are always safe and having a great time with lots of play and love, they are family and will treat them as such.

I am highly comfortable reinforcing training commands, managing leash pullers, and following strict care routines.

I have my own human babies and fur babies at home, so caring for them in your home would be best. It will also be good for your pet too, since that is what they’re familiar with! Bringing them to a new place with so many new animals and humans can be very scary and overwhelming.

About: I grew up on a farm, surrounded by animals of all kinds from energetic puppies to senior dogs, barn cats, and even livestock. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, respond calmly in unexpected situations, and provide gentle, consistent care. I also picked up a lot of practical skills, including how to support animals through stress, illness, or injury. Whether your dog needs extra patience, a structured routine, or just some good old-fashioned love and playtime, I’ve got them covered. I truly understand animals and I treat every pet like part of the family. Caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life. Whether it’s early morning walks, playtime, or keeping a routine for feeding and medication, I naturally build my day around what pets need. I’m used to adjusting my schedule to fit each animal’s routine whether it’s a puppy who needs extra attention or a senior dog who needs a slower pace. Pet care isn’t just a task for me it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. I follow each pet’s routine closely whether I’m in my home or yours. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs like meds or crate training. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in a clean and calm environment.
