Dog Walking Wellington

“Patrick is an excellent communicator, which given primary very busy schedule. I always appreciate as I know my dog is getting great care! I have noticed such a big difference in Ella‘s demeanor, she is so much calmer when I get home, and I can’t help but love the candid photos and quit that Patrick sent as update! We are so thankful to have found you, Patrick!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 11 years, starting when I adopted my first pup. Since then, I’ve welcomed multiple rescue dogs into my home, each with their own unique personality and needs. Today, I share life with 3 wonderful dogs — two of them seniors — along with 3 cats and a pair of friendly rats, so I’m experienced in multi-pet households. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments — from energetic puppies who need training reinforcement to senior dogs who move at a gentler pace. I’m comfortable with large and small breeds, administering medications, and following specific feeding and care routines. Whether your dog needs daily walks, drop-in visits, or in-home pet sitting, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. My goal is to give you peace of mind while providing your dog with the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy dog sitter and walker, I’d love to meet your pup and become their new favorite friend. I work from home full-time, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can easily accommodate your pet’s routine. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, your cat prefers morning playtime, or your senior pet requires multiple short visits throughout the day, I can be there when they need me. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, regular check-ins, and care tailored to your pet’s specific needs. Weekdays, weekends, and even last-minute requests are often possible — just reach out and I’ll do my best to make it work. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions closely to maintain their normal routine and minimize stress. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and enclosures are secure at all times, keep a close eye during walks or play, and ensure fresh water and a safe environment before I leave. I respect your home as much as I respect your pets — I’m mindful of cleanliness, careful with your belongings, and always lock up securely when I go. I’m comfortable handling keys, access codes, and any special instructions for alarms or entry. With years of hands-on experience and a deep love for animals, you can feel confident that your pets are in safe, caring, and trustworthy hands while you’re away.

“Wendy is amazing! Our dog Blakely has loved her from day one. She is communicative, friendly, and I can tell she loves dogs based on how excited Blakely gets to see her. She always shows up on time and does awesome report cards.”

About: I have cared for pups to elderly dogs. I mostly worked with large dogs, and I currently have a Black Mouth Cur and a Boxer mix. We also did have a Doberman. With taking some time off of work, I have weekdays during the day available. I am available most days Monday through Sunday during the days. I utilize treats and leases to make sure your dog is safe with me. I believe in positive reinforce and have been through many dog training classes that use this thinking.

“Mackenzie is the best! My dog can be a little bit anxious but within two minutes of her walking through the door Ralphie was laying by her feet and letting her pet him, not something that happens so quickly normally. She sent us photos of them on their walk while I was at work, which definitely is relieving to know he's getting good exercise and getting outside while we're gone.”

About: The beautiful atmosphere here at Ranch Itty Bitty provides lots of loving care, safety and walks on quiet country roads. All visitors love it here. I am nearly 100% retired and enjoy spending time with loving animals while their human family spends time away. I work hard to make sure their time is as precious as yours and mine. Since my two sweet pups traveled over the rainbow bridge, I have found joy in caring for pups of other families. While I miss my own, I adore the company of dogs and have found this experience absolutely perfect for my life. I have a big fenced yard if you need boarding services. I am extremely caring, respectful and have oodles of references to let you know you are hiring the best of care for your furry loved ones.

About: I grew up working at my parents dog kennel that was attached to our house. I took care of dogs, cats, birds, and occasionally rodents. I would help my parents scoop the yard, clean the kennels, and walk the dogs since I was 8. I now own a beautiful dog of my own who is the light of my life. For the last three years, I lived with three dogs of varying ages and sizes and helped to administer medications, train, love them equally. I would now love to be a part of your pet's lives too. I currently work part time and will have plenty of time to accommodate your pet's needs as long as the expectations are discussed prior and clearly to ensure a successful sitting experience. I am often told that dogs and cats quickly feel comfortable with me. If they are outgoing, I love to pet and play with them, if they are shy, then I am good at offering interactions while still giving the pet their space.

“She's great! I reached out same day and Rebecca made it happen. She is trustworthy and reliable, i will definitely recommend her and continue booking with her”

About: Hi! I’m Katelyn, and I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up, my family always had a full house of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, fish, and even a lizard. We also bred show Cocker Spaniels, where I learned the fundamentals of animal care early on by helping to feed, clean, and train the puppies. In high school, I worked at a horse breeding ranch, gaining hands-on experience with halter and lead training. This taught me a great deal about reading animal body language, building trust, and handling large animals with calm, quiet confidence—skills that translate perfectly to walking and managing dogs of all sizes. As an adult, I adopted my own dog, Karma, who had been abandoned on the street. Because of her background, she came to me with significant fears of men and other dogs. With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, I successfully socialized and trained her from scratch. She blossomed into a wonderful, confident, and loving companion who stayed by my side for 12 beautiful years before passing away in 2022. While I still miss having a pup of my own, my heart is ready to share my love, patience, and expertise with new furry friends. I am currently living in Arlington, VA, and am immediately available to help care for your beloved cats and dogs. Pet care is a top priority in my daily routine, not an afterthought. Because I currently have a highly flexible schedule, I am readily available for mid-day dog walks, morning or evening drop-in visits, and weekend care. I intentionally plan my day around my clients' needs so I am never rushing. Whether it’s a quick lunchtime potty break or a longer evening visit, I build ample time into my schedule for play, affection, and thorough clean-up, ensuring your pet gets my undivided, stress-free attention. Since I exclusively provide care in your home, my top priority is maintaining your pet’s safe, familiar environment. I treat your home with the utmost respect and security: I am meticulous about following your specific instructions for locking doors, securing gates, and managing house alarms. Drawing on my professional background in highly detail-oriented environments, I am exceptionally organized and observant. I strictly adhere to your pet’s established routines for feeding, walking, and any medication needs. I also prioritize cleanliness (such as prompt litter box scooping and sanitizing food/water bowls) and keep a close eye on your pet’s behavior and appetite. If I notice anything out of the ordinary, I will communicate it to you immediately. You can trust that your home and your pet are in safe, responsible, and highly attentive hands.

“Leta is amazing. Promt and trustworthy! She takes extra time to give your dog some love. My little guy loves her! 😊 would absolutely recommend her.”

About: I have previously worked at a dog kennel in Idaho before moving to Colorado. I know how to do oral medications for cats and dogs. I studied veterinary science during my senior year of high school and received certifications in animal handling and husbandry. I have an extreme passion for animals of all shapes and sizes and always put their needs first. I am a college student with a relatively open schedule. The schedule listed is not my entire availability and I would love to talk about other openings in my schedule for care. I follow the owners directions very thoroughly and always make sure I do as they ask. I keep the animals company and give them the attention they deserve. I know how to crate a dog if needed and I will always do my best to respect the animals needs and the owners wishes.

“Amaya made quick friends with my high-energy dog, Willow. She helped alleviate some of my separation anxiety as someone seeking their first dog sitter, and made sure my dog had a chance to get outside to do her business.”

“Rachel was wonderful about providing updates and taking care of our sweet German Shepherd. She was great about taking pictures of Freyja every walk, getting her good side too! 😉 Our dog tends to pull and react occasionally and Rachel was comfortable reducing those opportunities, it seemed our Freyja actually had better etiquette than before Rachel started walking her! We'll certainly be hiring Rachel again!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love helping them stay happy, healthy, and safe. I've raised my own dogs for over 15 years—all from puppies—and have provided pet care for family and friends throughout that time. I've spent years learning canine body language, assessing behavior, and working alongside professional dog trainers. I have extensive experience with reactive dogs and understand how to safely and confidently meet their needs during walks and daily care. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, in training, a senior, or has special needs, I'm happy to adapt my care to what makes them feel most comfortable. While I'm not a veterinary professional, I worked in veterinary diagnostics for nearly 10 years, giving me a strong understanding of animal health and behavior. I'm comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats, can provide basic first aid if needed, and have experience caring for senior pets and those with medical needs. One of my own dogs struggled with severe anxiety, and through patience, training, and consistency she grew into a calm, happy companion, giving me firsthand experience supporting dogs that need a little extra understanding. I currently offer walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. My goal is to care for every pet as if they were my own, following your routines closely so they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you're away. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide dependable care for your pets. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting on both weekdays and weekends after 10:00 AM. I'll always communicate clearly about my availability and make every effort to accommodate your pet's routine whenever possible. I currently offer walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting in your home. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special routines or training. During walks, I prioritize your pet's safety by paying close attention to their body language, avoiding situations that may cause stress, and ensuring they're secure at all times. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Because I have a reactive dog at home, I don't offer boarding or doggy daycare. This allows me to give my full attention to your pet while they're comfortable in their own home.

“Kelly was a great walker to my two large dogs who tend to pull. There was clear communication and helpful when my dogs were naughty and got in to presents 😹”

About: I have dog sat, fostered, and was a dog groomer for many many years! I have dog sat for many people and every time they referred me to others! I understand how important it is for your pet to be taken care of the right way so you will have the peace of mind of knowing that your pet is being taken care of by a genuine pet lover who will do everything in my power to make your pet feel safe, happy, and relaxed! I do remote work during the day and only work 2 hours outside of the house so I am basically available all day! I can stay at your house or do drop in visits and I do nights of course :) I have 3 dogs of which i walk twice a day and take them to the park to play fetch in the afternoon (and ice cream after sometimes ;). They sleep in my room and play all the time. I will of course adapt to your house routine and if i stayed over I keep everything very neat!

About: 13+ years of animal care! I have had many pets of my own growing up and currently have a dog named Ayza, so I am no stranger to animal care and I love all types of animals. I have done lots of pet and house sitting over the years so I've also learned to make friends with animals quickly and in all different types of settings. I have trained 3 puppies and given care to 2 elderly dogs who both required special care including medications. I love fostering cats/kittens when I am able, my latest foster was a pair of kittens only weeks old who had a rough respiratory infection at the time, they are both healthy and with a loving home together now! Working on a farm with animals I learned how to manage emergency situations as they arose, things like wounds, sickness, and other aliments and have become comfortable managing any challenging situations that may arise. I work remotely and set my own hours, meaning I have plenty of time and attention to give to your pets! I can fit just about any pet care requirements you have into my schedule. I am only offering client in-home care at this time. I love caring for pets in their own environment where they feel comfortable to express their full personalities. I have homes in both Colorado Springs and Fort Collins where I spend most of my time but I also travel the country in my converted camper van! I do prefer stays where my dog is able to join but can be flexible so just let me know your needs.
