Dog Walkers in Vallecito, CO

About: I am a working professional that will be doing this for some fun and extra income. This will be my first time doing pet care for people I do not know. In the past I have helped friends and neighbors when they were leaving town by watching their animals. In the past I ran my own cleaning business and often did minimal animal care while cleaning homes. I have a dog myself (Indie) and can understand the stress that comes with hiring a pet sitter or kenneling your pet. I hope I can help to provide a stress free option for pet care. You can be confident your animal will be getting the best possible care while you are away. I am offering walks in your neighborhood or longer hikes in the area accompanied by my dog, drop-in visits, and overnight sitting at your home. I wish I could offer boarding at my house but my landlord will not allow other dogs in my home. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about me please don't hesitate to contact me! I have a flexible schedule with my career than allows me to get out of the office to take breaks and walk or care for animals. I take trust very seriously. As someone who used to run a cleaning business I know how important it is to trust who you’re working with.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs from very small to giant breeds. I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs with heath issues. I have a very flexible schedule and either me or my husband is home at all times. I am a huge animal lover and have owned my own dogs for 20 years. I live in an area with lots of room to roam, fenced back yard and I live on 4 acres. I am a registered nurse currently working part time and my husband works from home. So we coordinate our schedules so that someone is always home with our dog and son. I have a large area for pets to be outside that is fully fenced. Very nice neighborhood with easy access to my home. I have one small dog who is very friendly with other dogs. I am also willing to accommodate your needs to make you more comfortable with caring for your pets, as a long time per owner I know how stressful it can be to leave them and having someone wonderful care for them is extremely important.

“Chris showed up right when he said he would. Took photos and communicated when done. Couldn’t ask for anything more! We will have him over again.”

About: Hi, I’m Lisa. I provide gentle, reliable pet care for cats and dogs, keeping their routines as normal as possible while you’re away. I’m certified in pet CPR and take care instructions seriously, with a strong focus on safety and consistency. My dog is 17 years young, so I especially enjoy working with pets who are older, shy, anxious, or used to a quiet home. I believe routines help pets feel secure, so I follow schedules closely, keep walks consistent, and watch for any behavioral changes. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I’m available seven days a week and organize my schedule around pets’ routines. I’m present for morning care, afternoon walks or check-ins, evening care, and overnight stays when booked. I do have two predictable personal commitments each day (late morning and early evening), and I plan pet care around those times so routines remain consistent. Walk times can be adjusted as needed, especially during hotter parts of the day. I treat clients’ homes with respect and care. I keep doors and gates secure, double-check leashes during walks, and never take risks with unfamiliar dogs. I’m happy to provide regular updates with notes and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of almost all kinds of animals since I was very young and I adore all pets and understand the necessity of pet sitters. I have done foster care for puppies, kittens, and special care senior animals alike. I’m a quick learner and dedicated to the absolute best for your pet. I’m also new to this app and am happy to negotiate on prices! My schedule can revolve entirely around your pet! I’m currently on summer break from my online college degree and am able to work flexibly depending on your needs. My only obligations are to take care of my own animals in the morning, evening, and midday. Which often is a quick routine and can be taken over by a loved one if necessary! I have an unfenced yard and hiking trail for walking dogs directly behind my apartment, I’m also close to a large field for stimulation if they need more activity and love going on hikes as well. I have 2 very friendly spayed female dogs and a spayed female cat, all of which love other animals. I have a crates for either my own animals or yours in a safe space. Pets are allowed on furniture and bed in my apartment.

My schedule is very open in the mornings and most evenings. I sometimes work on weekends but very flexible. I go to Durango an Bayfield. I can crate dogs, walk dogs, hike with dogs and just love on dogs. Take dogs on runs, hikes and car rides. Able to do just about whatever is needed.

“Christopher has been great on walks with my very hyper German shepherd. She's always worn out after their walk/jogs together and loves the attention. Can't recommend him enough.”

“Thanks to Lori our dog Doug was happy and healthy when we returned from our trip. Lori walked him faithfully every day for an extended amount of time and sent pics each day. When we returned a day before our booking ended due to my mistake, Lori happily refunded the difference. Kiddos! I recommend Lori wholeheartedly!”

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life. I was born and raised in the country surrounded by cats, dogs, the list goes on and on. I started pet and house sitting as a teenager and have continued since then. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love spending time with them. As as homeschooling single mom of two animal-loving kids, your pet won't be left alone all day. I spend a lot of time at home, and my children are kind, gentle, and very experienced around animals. They love helping with walks, playtime, and cuddles (with your permission, of course!). I offer plenty of attention, affection, and companionship, and I will treat your babies like part of our family. My summer schedule is wide open to help with walks, playtime, cuddles, and outdoor adventures. If you're looking for a sitter where your pet will be treated like part of the fam, I would love to help. I know how important is is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in your home, I am very intentional and aware of their normal routines and rituals, give them lots of attention and affection, and bring a grounded, present, calm companionship with me. I carefully follow all instructions given regarding feeding, walks, medications, crating, household preferences, etc. My children and I very respectful of both of your pets and your home, and I am very responsive with my communications with regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are being well cared for and loved!

About: I love animals deeply and genuinely love spending the time with furry friends. I also love being active and outdoors, so would love to do so with your pet. Let me know anything you need, I’m very flexible! I give lots of attention and love too ❤️ My job is flexible so I am able to accommodate whenever you need me for your pet. I love to run and be outdoors so pets that need walking will have a great time! I love to spend time, play with your pet, and make sure they are occupied while you are gone. My cat personally gets very lonely when I’m away and I appreciate a sitter who plays with her. I make that a priority!

“Maddy is great! Our dogs love her and we can tell they get a great walk every time. Very responsive and flexible. highly recommended!”

About: Hello fellow dog lovers! With over 20 years of experience owning and caring for dogs, I understand the deep bond between humans and their furry companions. Although I cannot host pets in my rental, I’d love to take your dog for a walk or house sit where they feel most comfortable- your home! I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide care both during and outside of regular business hours. Whether it’s a midday walk, evening playtime or weekend adventure, I’m here to ensure your dog receives the attention, love and exercise they deserve. If you book me for pet sitting in your home, you can feel at ease knowing that I will respect your space and make it a goal of mine to leave your space as clean as you left it. Let’s connect and discuss how I can offer your dog the right care and attention to make you feel comfortable when you can’t be with them. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule! I can provide pet services within or outside of regular business hours- let’s discuss your pets needs and I can likely fit them in to my schedule, no problem! I love clients who offer detailed lists of their pets needs and daily routines! I used to do the same with my dog and know that following something like this gives everyone involved (dogs included!) ease of mind.

About: I am a 36 year old female. I absolutely love animals, especially dogs. When i was growing up my mom would often find strays and bring them home to care for or until she found their owner. I have always had a soft spot for animals and i will take care of yours as if it were my own. I also have great references many that i have known and cared for their pets for years. I love to go for walks and play in the park. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule. When taking care of your home and dog I will treat your space with the upmost respect and ensure your animals are well cared for. Thank you for considering me to watch your pets! I work for myself at a massage therapist and set my own schedule, I am easily reached and quick to walk or let out a dog on short notice. I prefer to care for pets in their own home because it’s often more comfortable for them. I am respectful of your space and pride myself on leaving any place cleaner than I found it. I wake up early and am great at following schedules, feeding and walking your fur baby is my priority

About: Growing up my family always had pets- dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits. My first job in high school was a kennel assistant at an animal hospital. I would take pets for walks, administer medications, feed them, etc. I spent a lot of time in exam rooms and surgeries assisting the veterinarian as well. My entire adult life I have had a dog or 2 dogs. Currently I have two, Mishka and Milo. They are super sweet and love making new friends! I run a cleaning business, which allows me to be flexible and make my own schedule. If I do need to leave for a work day, the pups would have a safe place to be for the day. I never leave for more than 6 hours. Ideally, when caring for someone else’s pup, I would make my schedule so I don’t need to leave them home alone. I am happy to accommodate! When I am caring for someone’s pet in their home, I will work with your pet’s regular eating and potty schedule when planning my visits! I am happy to care for your pet in my home, or in your home! My dogs do great in other people’s homes when I housesit. I have a safe and comfortable home. Typically once or twice a day I take the dogs on a walk where it is safe for them to be off leash and run. If your pet needs to be on a leash for walks, that is ok with me too.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I have always loved animals and my freinds, neighbors, and family always ask me to care for their furry loved ones! I’m currently working only a couple shifts a month at my other job, so I can be reliable and flexible with many different schedules to fit your needs! In my clients home I will be sure the pets have the food/water their owners desire, and I would love to play and run the energy out of your pets during the day while your at work!

About: I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends for 2 years. I care deeply about quality pet care. I live an active lifestyle and make sure dogs are exercised and entertain! I treat each pet as my own I’m a part time student with lots of free time to dedicate to pets. Mornings, afternoon and nights I have availability. I’m open to all types of breeds. Dogs will have a safe environment to explore in my home. I treat clients homes with respect, just as I would want someone coming into my home.

About: I've been an animal lover all my life. I started watching rabbits, cats, dogs, and turtles when I was just a kid. I now have a 2 year old Heeler-Great Prynees mix that I've raised and trained from 12 weeks old! Indy is the light of my life and best friend to all. He is extremely friendly and playful with great communication and boundaries. I also was foster parent at the local shelter for eleven different dogs ranging from 4 weeks to 12 years old. I took care of these dogs for an extended period of time until they could find loving forever homes. I have plenty of experience caring for, feeding, walking, cuddling, managing reactive dogs, and training. As a self employed individual, I'm available to work within your schedule and would love to take your pups on long hikes or simple give them some belly rubs on the couch. I also offer additional dog training for $75/hr whether it's just for an hour or during a sit. I am self employed and extremely flexible! I can walk dogs at any point during the day and am available for home visits at anytime. For boarding, I'll be with your dogs almost the entire day. I don't have a fenced yard but I do have excellent trails right across the street from my house and a kennel in my house for dogs that need to be confined when left home alone. I live in a very safe neighborhood .
