Dog Walking Valmont

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and for the past two years I’ve lived on a farm where I have gained experience caring for many different types of animals. We also double as a kitten rescue, taking in lost and abandoned kittens from newborns through teenagers. We bottle-feed, raise, and care for them until they are healthy, grown, and ready to be adopted into loving homes. I am extremely passionate about healthy and safe animal care and ensure that in my work. I am a college student and recently moved away from home and my farm, and the first priority on my list was getting back into work with animals. Being at CU I am occupied in the mornings and late afternoon. Anywhere between 11am-1pm I am free in between classes, and anytime after 4/5pm at night. I care for pets with patience, attention, and lots of love while making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their environment. Having cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, and a variety of farm animals, I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, cleaning up after pets, giving them exercise and playtime, and keeping a close eye on their behavior and well-being. Through helping my mom run our farm and caring for rescued kittens, including newborns, I’ve also learned how important it is to be gentle, responsible, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs.

“Andres is professional and understands dog behaviour. He is very kind and patient with Bridie. They are making progress on the walk.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and started helping care for pets when I was about 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have consistently trusted me to walk, feed, and spend quality time with their pets. I’ve grown up with a wide range of dog personalities — from high-energy breeds like Border Collies to more independent dogs like Basenjis, as well as smaller companion dogs like Chihuahuas. Because of that, I’m very comfortable adjusting my approach depending on the dog’s needs, energy level, and temperament. What sets me apart is that I’m attentive and intentional. I don’t just “check in” — I pay attention to behavior, mood, and routine so your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient with anxious or shy dogs and love engaging more active dogs with walks and play. I’m also reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home and your pet’s routine. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your pet, and I take that seriously. I’m currently finishing up my last semester of grad school, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits. I’m available most weekdays in the afternoons and evenings, along with weekends. I’m reliable and consistent, and I’m happy to stick closely to your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. focus on creating a safe, calm, and reliable experience in your home while keeping your pet’s routine consistent. I’m very attentive to instructions, behavior, and environment, and I make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I respect your home, follow care instructions closely, and always prioritize safety on walks (leash awareness, surroundings, and your dog’s comfort level). I’m also communicative and will keep you updated with photos and quick check-ins so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Cassidy was amazing. She was so accommodating, helped us with a last minute situation which we’re super thankful for. She was very communicative, punctual, flexible, and my boy absolutely loved her and her dog Rex. She’s a keeper! Thank you sooo much Cassidy!”

About: I volunteered with the humane society for years when I was a teen, and have cared for a pet for most years of my adult life. I care for animals deeply and also have a prompt, dutiful work ethic. I am free from early morning until late afternoon to walk your furry friends! I'm a writer, so it's as important for me to get out of the house as it is your pet! I bathe my kitty in affection and get her the healthiest, best food and treats that I can find. We play when she feels like it, and snuggle all night long.

“Falecia has done a fantastic job with my dropin walks for my dog. Falecia was attentive to and understanding of my dog's needs and quirks!”

“Kristen has been fabulous with our dog! She’s often available last minute, and puts in the extra effort to play with him even when he’s resistant to a longer walk.”

About: I've taken care of dogs most of my life, as an owner and to help out friends and neighbors. I have owned two large Labrador retrievers and a lab-pit bull mix, and currently own a 10 yr-old chihuahua/terrier mix. I am an avid walker and will take your dog on the long walks he/she needs. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule. I work from home most days and can fit my schedule around the dog's needs (regular walks, potty breaks, etc.). I will keep your dog on a leash during all walks, and aim to walk in low traffic areas of your neighborhood. I will speak with you in advance regarding whether your dog is okay to socialize with other dogs (i.e. on walks or at the park). I will keep an eye on your dog during all potty breaks and ensure that any items that might be dangerous to your dog within your home are kept out of reach at all times. I will speak with you in advance to understand the needs of your dog, and any risks that you account for in your home and the surrounding neighborhood.

“Olivia was great. I needed someone last minute and she really helped me out twice in a day. She was communicative and punctual. Sent photos and updates too. Will use her again. Thank you.”

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I've spent over a decade caring for pets and volunteering at animal shelters, and I love getting to know each animal's unique personality and figuring out what makes them feel comfortable and happy. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, and more, including senior pets and pets with medical or behavioral needs. At the shelter, I've taught classes on handling small animals, trained new volunteers, and worked as a camp counselor teaching kids how to safely interact with animals. I've also received extensive training in animal body language, behavior, and safe handling. I grew up with dogs and a rabbit and now have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets while you're away. My apartment won't let me have any more pets, so I'd love the chance to give yours some extra love and attention! Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I'm a graduate student, so my schedule looks different each day, but is more flexible than the typical 9-to-5! I build pet care into my weekly routine and have availability throughout the day. I'm happy to work with you to find times that fit your schedule and your pet's needs! Whether you need drop-in visits or overnight petsitting, I'm happy to provide the type of care that works best for your pet. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, respect your home, and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I prioritize safety, communication, and getting to know each pet’s individual needs.

“Mandy is awesome with our dog Saffron, would definitely recommend! She’s always very flexible to changes in our schedule and communicates really well.”

About: Hi, I'm Andi! I’ve been a dog person for as long as I can remember, and for 13 years I had my own dog by my side. I raised him on my own through all kinds of homes and lifestyle changes, from apartments to houses, with big yards and with no yard at all so I know that every dog (and owner!) has their own routine, personality, and needs. Over the years, I’ve also regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs, both in their homes and in mine. I genuinely love having a dog around the house, and enjoy the company, the personality, the walks, and even the little quirks that make them who they are. After losing my own dog, I’m not quite ready to make the commitment to bringing another dog into my life permanently. But I’ve realized I’d love to fill that space by welcoming other people’s dogs into my home and giving them the same kind of care and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they’re with me. I’m happy to follow your usual routines, whether that means lots of walks and playtime, a cozy spot on the couch, medication or special instructions, or simply plenty of companionship. I know leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, so I want you to feel confident that they’re in good hands and that they’ll get plenty of love while you’re away! work from home four days a week, so I’m home with plenty of flexibility throughout the day. On the days I go into the office, I’m typically gone for about four hours or less, so I’m home more often than not. I’m an early riser and am very used to starting the day with a dog’s morning walk. I also have easy access to grass for quick potty breaks throughout the day, in addition to regular walks and playtime. Even on weekends, when I might go for a run, hike, or bike ride, I’m generally home for most of the day working on projects or relaxing. Overall, my schedule gives me plenty of time and flexibility to give dogs attention, exercise, companionship, and plenty of opportunities to get outside. I take pet safety and comfort seriously and want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, energy level, and any special instructions from their owner. My home is clean, comfortable, and dog-friendly, with easy access to grass for potty breaks and plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, and companionship. I’m home most of the time, so dogs aren’t typically left alone for long stretches. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your dog is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, primarily caring for cats and dogs. My experience includes dog walking, feeding, playtime, administering basic routines, and cleaning litter boxes. I’ve especially worked with older cats and dogs, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care they often need. I also have two cats of my own back home, giving me firsthand experience in daily responsibilities and expectations of being a pet owner. Because of this, I’m very mindful about my care towards your pet! I’m currently a second-year, first-generation student at CU Boulder, balancing school and a Work-Study position. I’m generally available Thursday through Monday after 1 PM and can be flexible with advance notice. When I house sit I treat every home with respect, focusing on your pet while you’re away. I understand leaving your home and furry friend to a stranger can be worrisome so I do my best to comfort your pet and keep your space the way you like it.

About: I love animals but I unfortunately travel too much to have pets. I understand that pets need attention and care which is why I don’t have one for myself but I would love to support other pets and make sure pets are getting the care they need. Im like the cool aunt for pets. I grew up in a house with lots of cats and dogs and have done a few dog siting jobs here and there. Your pets will be in great care with me. I’m great at walking! Just finished walking 2000+ miles from Mexico to Canada. I’m currently working at Snowbird and have very limited hours at the beginning of the season. I should have lots of days off available to provide care. I am aware of safety when walking I will make sure your pet is not close to the road or any danger. I will also make sure your pet doesn’t get away. Growing up I had a dog that loved to run away and I’m very aware of how dogs/cats can be when getting out of the house.

About: Hi there! I am a firm believer in treating pets like family and showing them nothing but love. My pets can do no wrong in my eyes and I know what it’s like to worry about them when I’m away from home. I am an attentive and caring and have loved having pets my entire life in addition to a few years experience petsitting dogs and cats back in California and Oregon. I also spent time caregiving for the elderly and looking after their pets was a big part of the job. I am open to caring for any type of animal! I am currently a full time student with availability weekday mornings before 9am and afternoons usually after 3:00pm. I can be available anytime throughout the night and full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. I have one sweet older cat living with me in my one bedroom apartment and she’s just a joy to have around. Due to her timid nature, I am unable to bring other pets into my own home for pet sitting but I offer any other service for your pet such as walking, feeding, playing, giving medicine, you name it :)

About: I love animals. I worked in a horse barn as a horse caretaker/as well as riding horses. I have patience with new and all dogs and cats . I can handle all types of weather :) I am pretty flexible, can work most days. I am available most of the time. I don’t mind working everyday as well , that’s fine with me since I don’t work right now . I’m definitely available to work holidays and weekends. Also, I don’t drive so I get around through the bus. If i were to ever have a dog in my home, it's safe and a clean non toxic environment for the dogs. I will make sure to take care of them and take them on walks. And with cats, I love cats a lot.

About: I have experience caring for various pets, including dogs, cats, and small mammals. Responsibilities included feeding, grooming, exercising, and administering medications. I also provided companionship, monitored health, and maintained clean living environments. My focus is on ensuring pets' well-being, comfort, and happiness through attentive and loving care. Pet care is apart of my daily routine because I have three dogs myself that I walk, feed and take care of everyday. I’m home for the summer from college hoping to stay active in the community!!! In my home or a client's, I ensure pets have regular meals, exercise, and mental stimulation. I follow care routines, including grooming, playtime, and any special instructions. I maintain a clean environment and provide updates to clients. Safety and comfort are my top priorities for every pet I care for.

About: Hi there! All my life I have been an animal lover and for the last 8 years I have raised my own dog, and taken care of other dogs for families I used to babysit for. I can fit in any lifestyle your pet has, whether they are active or a stay-at-home. I can fit any accommodation as I work from home, love to exercise (so your dog would get plenty of it, if need be), and I'm incredibly flexible and will be normally free to help you more than not. At the same time, I raised my dog since she was a puppy so I do have experience with younger, more energetic dogs and overall I would simply love to help and treat your dogs like family. I hope we can talk soon! I'm super flexible and work from home at the moment so I basically can take care of your dogs whenever you may need it. I will certainly be more free for your dog rather than not! I will care for your pet in your home however you see fit. I do what is asked and can fit any accommodation whether your dog has a lot of needs, or simply needs a walk and some playtime. I'm happy to help however it may be!

“Mika is a lovely lady that my dog loved immediately. She's gentle yet firm with my dog, which is needed as she's a pit and stubborn. Mika was also great at communicating and flexible in her schedule. I'll definitely be using her again.”

About: Hi, I'm Eric! I'm currently taking a break from college with plans to return, but for now I'm pursuing my passion since childhood which has always been caring for animals. I have experience from PetSmart and the Humane Society walking, feeding, cleaning and looking after pets of all kinds, and I treat every pet like family. I keep a flexible schedule, so I'm reliably available for walks and sits. Happy to set up a meet and greet beforehand if you'd like to get acquainted first! I watch dogs of all sizes and cats too, and I'll make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. Let me know about any allergies or special needs so I can take great care of them! I keep a flexible schedule, so I'm reliably available for walks and sits from Mon - Wed and Friday to Saturday. Would love to set up a meet and greet beforehand so I can get a clear picture of how to take care of your fur baby! I'm big on routine and communication. Before a stay or visit, I like to talk through the pet's schedule, favorite toys, any anxieties, and emergency info with the owner. Once I'm caring for them, I stick to their normal feeding and walk schedule as closely as possible, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and send photo updates so owners never have to wonder how their pet's doing. I'm also careful about home safety — secure doors/gates, no unsupervised access to anything risky, and I always have emergency vet info on hand.
