Dog Walking Ward

About: I have experience for 40 years with animals. I have had cats, fish, giant dogs, small dogs and all those in between. I have had puppies and seniors, and I love them all. I work for myself so I can be home when I need to be. I can keep your pups routine so they are happy and comfortable. I have a fenced yard and 2 well behaved dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a crate avlb if your pup is crate trained.

About: Animals have always been my biggest passion, and caring for them brings immense joy to my life. With over a year of hands-on experience in pet sitting, I am dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your furry family members. I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. Whether it's playtime, long walks, or just cozy cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am looking forward to dedicating myself even more to this work and building wonderful connections with both pets and their owners! I work during the day, but my schedule allows me to seamlessly fit pet care into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. I am also available for house sitting, meaning I can stay right at your home to keep your pets company and maintain their routine while you are away. Whether it is morning/evening walks, feeding times, or overnight stays, I ensure your pets receive consistent attention and care. Safety, cleanliness, and trust are my absolute top priorities. Coming from a background in childcare as a nanny, I am highly vigilant, responsible, and observant. I am also a very meticulous person when it comes to cleanliness and organization, meaning your pet will always be in a hygienic, hazard-free, and safe environment. I always ensure that doors and gates are secure, dangerous items are out of reach, and pets are closely supervised both indoors and during walks. You can trust that I will protect and care for your furry family member just as carefully as I would a child.

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, when I started my own little pet-sitting/walking "business" in my small town in Arizona. As an adult, I've owned and trained two dogs of my own, and I've never stopped being around animals since. Whether it's giving them plenty of pets & cuddles, keeping them active, or making sure they feel comfortable & secure, my biggest priority is providing a safe, loving experience for every pet in my care. I just recently moved to Colorado and I'm excited to grow my connection with you! I'm currently working as a writer (published author) and editor for other aspiring authors. I love spending a few hours in the morning and in the afternoon working on my laptop and developing my craft! I'm both a morning and evening person:) I take care of pets in their home so they can stay in the environment they’re most comfortable and familiar with. I love following detailed routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention & cuddles. I also ensure they have a clean, safe environment and never feel alone or neglected while you are away. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, (whether they're excited or a bit nervous) I love catering to their needs & preferences. My goal is to give them the kind of care they’re used to receiving at home!

“Jennifer is wonderful! Clearly loves dogs, responsible, communicative and an incredible help. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her and having her walk our dogs regularly. She’s good at creating boundaries with the dogs when it comes to jumping up in excitement, etc. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a top notch dog walker!”

“Brad has been great walking my dog Roy several times now! He is very calm and intuitive with dogs, also very reliable and sends fun pictures from the outings. Roy is tired and happy when I get home.”

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!

“Can't say enough good things about Ona!, their schedule is very flexible and they work with me with last minute requests and do a wonderful job. My beautiful little dog is always super happy when I come home and not too too fully energetic.”

About: I absolutely love dogs, and until recently, I had my own old, grumpy boy who taught me a lot about caring for dogs with unique needs. My family got our first dog when I was 13, and then welcomed another when I was 21. I was very involved in raising our second dog from puppyhood, so I have firsthand experience with the energy, patience, consistency, and supervision that young dogs require. About six years ago, I adopted my own dog from a shelter when he was already 8 years old. He had epilepsy and plenty of his own idiosyncrasies, which gave me experience caring for an older dog with medical needs and a very specific personality. I learned to pay close attention to changes in behavior, recognize when something was “off,” and adapt his care to what made him comfortable and happy. I especially enjoy getting to know each dog's individual personality and routine. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a senior who needs a little extra patience, or somewhere in between, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I currently work part-time and study from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m able to adjust my routine to accommodate your pup’s needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, or simply having someone around for companionship. I’m home much of the day and would love to give your dog plenty of attention while you’re away. I live in a ground-floor apartment with a fenced-in backyard, including a dog door that gives pups easy access to the yard when they need it. I love getting outside and exploring the area, and I’d be happy to bring your dog along for a local hike, a neighborhood walk, or some playtime in the yard. I also live with my boyfriend, who works from home and is around for most of the day. He’s always happy to give visiting pets some extra attention and love, but I will be responsible for all of their care and will be their primary caregiver throughout their stay.

About: I have experience with dogs of all variety and sizes, from 10 pound Shih-Tzus to large Goldens and Labs! All ages are fine with me as well. I do not work in an office currently, so I have a lot of flexibility. I love to go on daily walks and spend time outside, so it would be a pleasure to have your dog join me! I can't wait to spend time with your furry friend! I would prefer to watch your pet in your home, and I can crate your dog or take any safety/boarding measures that you recommend. I won’t let your pup out of my sight when outside!

About: I have had my own beloved dogs for 20+ years, and have experience house-sitting and taking care of pets all over the world! As a creative industries business owner, I have the flexibility of working remotely with WIFI access. I am a neat, quiet and organized homebody, and like to spend my time with books and music in the company of loving creatures. I work remotely, so I have tons of flexibility to care for your animals as you like. I am comfortable with all pet care routines. I love to cuddle and care for your pet and can be trusted to follow instructions well - the daily walks are my zen! I am trustworthy and responsible and your fur baby will love me.

About: I’ve been lucky enough to share my home with dogs & cats my whole life, and would love to care for your fur babies overnight in your home, drop-in for walks or spend time giving loving attention & meals. I live in the Nederland area and have a 4wd vehicle with high clearance, so no problems navigating mountain life for your pets! I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes of dog - I’ve raised rescue pups to mature gentleman & well-mannered ladies, and they’ve ranged in size from a 100lbs Golden Retriever/Chow mix to a 13lbs Pug/Shitzu. I’m a stay at home pet momma with a flexible schedule that allows me to can care for your fur babies overnight in your home. I live on five unfenced acres and walk my two dogs (always on leash) around Nederland, Sugarloaf, and surrounding areas of the Canyons. I’d be happy to go on leashed walks/hikes with your doggos! or if you have a yard, I’d be happy to watch your pup closely as we enjoy unleashed play time. I am accustomed to and prepared for mountain life and the variables it brings (wildlife, weather, fires, etc.).

About: I love to take care of your animal however they need. I make sure they get good care while the parents are gone for the day! I am working full time at the hospital but would love to come hangout with your animal for a walk or longer! I am free very first thing in the morning around 7:30-8:15 then after 5! I have a gentle touch with dogs and cats so I am able to play, teach them and make sure they are comfortable with me

About: I have had a passion for animal care and providing companionship with them since I was a very small child. I have been doing this for 20 years now and there's nothing that I would rather do than spend time with cats and dogs. I work from home so I have a lot of availability to be with your pets. I am single with no children and a huge passion to be with animals. I have a three story town home and I'm surrounded by nature trails and all sorts of paths. I have a dog park right behind me and surrounded by nature trails that the Pet's absolutely love. Also very close to Valmont Dog Park!

About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs my when life, living with both. I know all of the things to keep them happy and healthy. There safety and health is my number 1 priority! I am currently working part time at a toy store in town, and all my other time would be devoted to these animals! I have a very flexible schedule and can fit a lot into my schedule! I have a fenced in backyard and have always had a dog! I love going on long walks and playing with cats in the house!

About: I am respectful, kind, and trustworthy. Your pet(s)/household will be in safe, reliable hands with me. I have extensive experience with large dog breeds, too (grew up with Bernese Mountain Dogs). I believe in treating others’ animals and property as I’d want someone to treat mine. Does your household have a particular routine or preferences? Just let me know. I want you and your family to be as comfortable as possible. If you need oral or subcutaneous medications administered, I would love to help keep your loved ones in the best health possible. House sitting engagements will leave your property as if I was never there and your pets well loved and treated with the decency all living beings deserve. Currently a parent of a husky named Thomas and three cats named Tony, Calypso, and Tut. Cats and dogs- I’ve had one or both my entire life. I use positive reinforcement training on my own. I work a set schedule Monday-Friday, so they will have consistency/stability throughout the weekdays. On the weekends, I’ll be available to spend the entire day with your fuzzy family members. How I care for your pets is strongly influenced by what you share with me. Household rules like crating, furniture rules, and routines will all be discussed with you and then adhered to during my stay. I also offer to bring in the mail, take out the trash, water the plants, and feed the goldfish. You know, those little details that matter.

About: I grew up with two dogs and regularly dog sat and walked for about 8 years. I hope to continue this now that I live in boulder because I love and miss my dogs! I am a student, so my schedule varies but I am usually free in the mornings and late afternoons. Overall I have a very flexible schedule. I am a flexible person and can accommodate to mostly any needs. My current housing does not allow animals, I am more interested in walking

About: Hello! I’m from Boston, MA and am in Boulder for graduate school. I grew up around cats, dogs, reptiles, hamster, you name it! I can’t have any animals in my current home and miss my cat and dog dearly. My family dog Moose (Silver Lab) is a therapy dog and I’ve had amazing experience with service dogs in the educational setting, so I have an understanding of the importance of animals in our lives. I can’t wait to bring my years of pet care experience and love to your furry family member:) As a grad student, my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to let your pet out midday, as well as support you and your pet during the typical 9-5. I additionally have a car and can easily reach areas outside of central Boulder. Due to the nature of school work and my research work, I’m able to be at home with your pet as consistently as you require. I’ve seen how pets can fear abandonment when their owners leave, so my ability to be present with your pet will not only support their health, but also their well-being. I believe I’m a very trust worthy individual, due to my experience as a high school teacher as well as my vetting process to become a funded PhD student. I take pride in the work I do, and that extends to caring for your pet.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for cats, dogs, and many other kinds of animals. I know that every pet is unique and deserves individualized care, patience, and affection. I enjoy getting to know each pets quirks and what makes them feel happy and safe. I’m attentive, and pay attention to the details. Just tell me what you need and I’ll be happy to provide whatever is required for you and your pet to feel cared for and comfortable! I’m currently a Biochemistry student at CU Boulder and am home in Connecticut for the summer. In between now and when school starts I have tons of free time and have the flexibility to work with whatever schedule is best for you! I take extreme care in client’s homes and am always respectful of their space. I am careful to never breach anyone’s privacy and do whatever is needed to make the client feel secure. As for the pet/pets, I am very attentive to their needs. I pay close attention to things like body language to insure they are happy and healthy.

“Thanks Emma!! I’ll be in touch for more puggie care!!”

About: Hello pet parents! I hope you choose me to help care for your pets - I can't wait to meet them! I have had pets in my house ever since I was born. I grew up with many varieties of animals among the years and numerous cats and dogs. I have always been a huge animal lover and can't wait until I have the property and space to home more friends! Until then, I am eager to meet others' animals and help take care of them and give them lots of love! The very first thing I have always done at new people's houses with animals is greet all of the animals. I am a highly energetic individual with a strong eye that seeks to pay attention to the needs of other beings. I am looking forward to hearing from you and your pets I make my own scheduled so I am highly flexible and available for caring for your pets! I have two cats and a fish that I give lots of love and attention daily - and looking forward to caring more for other animals too! I do not have a home space in which I am capable of taking in others animals currently, but I take care of the pets at the owners home this same way! First thing when I get home is to greet my pets and give them attention and love. I play for a little and then check to see the water bowl is full (and for my cats that the food is also - I know dogs are on a schedule). With dogs, I would regularly schedule times to take them out for walks - and make sure I match them for however they wanna walk! (Slow, adventurous, running a little faster) I make sure that I have plenty of plastic bags and treats to take with on the walk. I do not like to leave dogs alone for more than 2-4 hours. I love interacting with animals and giving them lots of attention!
