About: I had my whole life dogs and I had the last 15 years taking care about my own dogs. I love to walk them and since I have not anymore my own dogs I love to help other people out to taking care there dogs. Dogs makes me always happy and I’m always feeling so grateful when I know a dog doesn’t has to be alone at home and can meet some new friends I’m available during the week every time I’m just working part-time on weekends. So I’m flexible on weeks. And I missed the walks so much with my dogs and I would love to hang out again with some dogs and helping humans when they have short time for her dogs I like to play and walking with the dogs but also I like to cuddle the dogs if they like it or they are really needy. Feeding for sure and I can also give them bath if they need and if the customer wanted and helps them out
“You we awesome! You got Kya out and she has NEVER done that with a stranger before! We will for sure be using Alex in the future and I would highly recommend him to all my fur baby humans out there!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and have experience watching neighbors’ and friends’ pets. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’m used to regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets attention throughout the day. With my active lifestyle, I enjoy spending time outside and making sure dogs get plenty of exercise and care. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for by sticking to their normal routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions carefully while keeping the space clean and respectful. I give pets lots of attention, exercise, and companionship so they feel relaxed while their owners are away.
About: I've been caring for dogs my entire life and bring a calm, attentive and intuitive approach to every dog i welcome into my home. I grew up caring for dogs and have owned both Golden Retrievers and a long-haired Dachshund, giving experience with a wide range of temperaments-from energetic and playful to gentle and sensitive. I provide a structured, safe and loving environment where dogs can feel at ease while maintaining their normal routines. I'm highly attentive to each dogs individual needs, whether it's exercise, companionship or simply a calm space to relax. Having hosted many dogs in my home and being a former dog owner looking for care over the years, I understand how important it is for both pets and owners to feel confident and comfortable. My 9-year-old son Bobby is kind, respectful and experienced with dogs adding to the warm, family style environment your dog will be a part of. Nestled in Red Cliff, our home offers a true mountain escape- endless fresh air, trails, a dogs dream playground I currently have full availability, I'm home throughout the day to provide loving, attentive care, regular walks, playtime and calm, consistent routine for every dog. Our home features a partially fenced yard, a peaceful low flow creek on the property and easy access to Red Cliffs dog friendly trails for leashed or unleashed adventures in the backcountry.
About: I’ve had pets of all kinds under my care since childhood! I have extensive experience with bigger dogs but also cats and fish. Currently, I walk, feed, and take care of dogs almost every day. I have a full time job from 4:00pm - 10:00pm Thursday - Monday. Therefore, I have a lot free time during the day before my shifts. However, with off-season approaching in the Valley, I expect to have much more time available. My typical day at the moment consists of a walk, hike, or some other form of exercise, and I would have no issue adding a dog to the mix. I am also available for house visits or at-home stays for any animal. :) I enjoy being active and alert, and animals always have my full attention whether they are my own or belong to someone else. I maintain cleanly living environments and pay attention to potentially poisonous foods or plants that could harm an animal. I have more extensive experience from bigger size dogs (>60 lbs,) so I am more than comfortable taking care of them and holding on a leash.
About: Helping care for pets is especially meaningful to me because my own pets are an extension of who I am. From outdoor adventures to cozy cuddles, I treat every furry friend like family and love keeping owners updated along the way. My dogs get walked twice a day and let out midday, we would rather be outside. I usually get out earlier in the morning due to the heat! I manage dogs in my home and in others’ homes with a balance of freedom, structure, and respect. In my own space, dogs have free range with a few furniture boundaries, constant access to fresh water, and regular bathroom breaks. When caring for pets in another home, I strictly follow all homeowner rules and routines to ensure pets feel comfortable and consistency is maintained.
About: I have been a long time animal owner including dogs and cats from all ages. I have experience with taking care of senior and disabled animals. I’m an all around animal person who also has experience with caring for exotic reptiles, amphibians, birds and aquatic animals. I am able cook for your companion(s) if they have a special diet and I am an attentive person when it comes to animals who need special attention or care. I have had dogs of all sizes and age throughout my life and also currently have dogs and cats of my own. I take dogs out to exercise twice a day and have a spacious home with animal friends for your companion’s stay. Please let me know if you are interested! Pet care is my top priority and only focus. I’m not balancing this with other jobs. Caring for animals is what I love and what I do full-time. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or drop-in visits, I plan my entire schedule around your pet’s needs to ensure they get consistent, attentive, and loving care every time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I treat every animal like family. I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. Whether that means sticking to their specific feeding schedule, giving them space to relax, or offering lots of playtime and snuggles. I maintain a calm, clean environment, pay close attention to behavior or mood changes, and communicate regularly with pet parents to ensure peace of mind. I’m happy to accommodate special needs, medications, or quirks. Whatever helps your pet feel happiest and most at home.

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 Vail. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
