Dog Walking Welty

“On time and walk went well.”

Kelli E.

“I can always rely on Robin when we need a dog walker. She is great! My dog created a mess with her automatic dog feeder and Robin was kind enough to clean it up. She is also great at communicating. I would highly recommend her!”

Blair M.

“My husky needed a walker during the middle of the day and he loves Belinda. She communicated very well and makes sure he has his treats after his walk.”

About: Hi! I am a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet mom with a home full of personalities - including 4 dogs (Great Dane puppy mixes, a Great Pyr mix, and a senior pittie who keeps things interesting) and 3 cats. Because of that, I am super comfortable with all sizes, breeds, and temperaments - from giant, high energy dogs, to tiny sensitive guys who need a little extra love, and even the occasional grumpy senior. I truly understand how important it is to keep pets in their normal routine while you're away and I have experience with training, medicine administration, and specialized diets as well as feeding schedules. My goal during every interaction with your babies is to make them as comfy as possible while maintaining their routine, and make them feel loved while their people are away. I am especially patient with shy, anxious, or older pets and always adjust my approach based on what they need. I also know how important communication is, so you will get updates and photos regularly! As a pet mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your babies with someone, so I make sure to treat every pet like they're my own! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate most drop-in visits, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and pet care routines throughout the day. Since caring for my own pets is already a part of my daily routine, providing reliable and consistent care for other pets fits very naturally into my schedule. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. I am used to managing multiple pets with different personalities, feeding schedules, diets, and energy levels. Safety, consistency and comfort are always my priority. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, fresh food & water, meds if needed, and love! I am happy to follow specific instructions closely. I am also open to pet sitting in my home for animals who are dog, cat and kid friendly. My home is very pet-centered, and I understand how important it is for animals to feel safe and cared for.

“Mitchel was great with Millie! Always took lots of pictures of their walking adventures and gave great little reports on how their walks went. Thanks, Mitchel!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of every kind for 10 years. As a therapist with a flexible schedule, I bring a calm, patient energy to pet care and always give dogs plenty of attention and exercise. As a therapist, I set my own hours, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m reliably available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding throughout the week and on weekends. My home is a comfortable, pet-friendly environment — I have a dog and two cats of my own, so your pet will have friendly animal company and be cared for the same way I care for my own pets.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I promise to take care of yours like they’re my own. I am currently only offering visits to your house. These are for 30 minutes and can be for anything your pup or cats need. For example, I have one dog who loves to walk. So we walk for 30 and then I spend a few minutes filling up water bowls, etc. I have another dog who just really likes to sunbathe and get pets in her backyard. So we do that. I am very flexible to you and your dogs needs 😊 I hope you have a wonderful day and I would love the opportunity to meet you in the future. I am available to take care of your animals on your timetable. Whether you’re at work or on vacation, I am available to help once or multiple times a day. I will treat your animals and home like my own, with the utmost care and attention. I will not only care for your animals, but respect your privacy and belongings.

About: I’m SUCH an Auntie with all the pets I watch! I've regularly cared for all my siblings' dogs for decades -my sister's two medium dogs have even recently been for a stay of over a week, right here in my apartment! So a multi-day routine is pretty easy for me. I've been told more than once that a pet who "doesn't usually warm up to people" ends up seeking me out! Since it seems to be a strength of mine, your shy pet may end up a good friend! I live in a studio (no private yard), but I have a fenced back porch for outdoor time and the complex is very secure so walking around here is no problem! My schedule as a certified night-owl runs roughly noon to 5am, so I'm a great fit for lunchtime visits and evening/night walks -and bonus (!) you don't have to rush back from a late-night out, since I've got your doggos covered well past when most sitters would need you home. For overnight boarding, I'm a light sleeper and stay responsive to your dog's needs through the night and early morning. I won't cancel for snow -I grew up driving in snow and ice even from before 16 on a South Dakota farm and spent over a decade in Wyoming winters, so Colorado weather doesn't scare me off (maybe a blizzard sure, but otherwise!) My own 8-year-old cat is fully comfortable around dogs and cats. She's been present through all of my sister's dogs' stays (check out the photos!) and has her own secure, independent access to our enclosed back porch as well as a catio enclosure for daytime chillin'. Currently my job is DoorDashing, so I could whittle out any time for all pets! I am a big night person, so as said noon to 5am is typical. That would mean I would be awake with your doggos for more time than typical sitters at night. I am willing to do several days in a row if needed since I can move my dashing schedule around quite easily. When I am at your place not only will your pets be taken care of with whatever schedule you need, but your house will be looked after as well. If there are any accidents that need to be taken care of, I will make sure it's set! My home is very small -just a studio (a good-sized studio apartment), but I have had my sister’s two medium-large dogs stay there with me for over a week and they did a great job! It’s not much area to wander around in, but I have pet beds and spaces to feed them! I also live on the first floor with a walkout small back porch that leads to the well-maintained outdoors of the apartment complex where I can easily take your dogs for any outside time they would need. The soundproofing in my place is also immaculate, so even if they bark everything will be okay! I do have one cat. So if your dogs or other cats are not okay with that, I am more than willing to come to your place if need be. She is great with others as long as they’re not too into her business and she has places that she can hide when she needs so she is great! I also have a “catio” on my back deck that is attached to my window with a pet flap where my cat goes out and chills. It is a very large enclosure.

“Amy was great-she accepted the walk on short notice and took great care of Luna.”

About: Since my very best pal is a working class Doberman Pinscher, I know the importance of exercise, routine, and structure! Walks should be more than just a mindless jaunt around the neighborhood. All dogs also need mental stimulation- verbal cues, a job, and for some extra friendly ones, extra socialization! Let me pour my love of animals into your pet when you have to step away. On weekdays, I am available 6:00-7:30am, 11am-12:30pm, and 5:30-7:00pm. I would love to schedule routine walks for clients that are gone long hours during the work week. Weekends are open availability Because of my working class boy, I do not keep others’ pets in my home. I will travel to you for walks and/or check-ins. This also keeps your pet comfortable in their own environment!

“AJ was professional and friendly and took time to meet my new rescue dog before starting service. AJ took extra care of my dog, providing lots of care for him and communicating with photos and updates after their visit. I would highly recommend AJ!”

About: I’ve grew up raising lab puppies! I’ve had several cats and even a parrot! I don’t have much medication experience but I have had to give my dog special foods and meds in the last couple of years. I have taken care of a golden retriever for two weeks in my own home, on top of my own dog and kids. I’m flexible and willing to learn what your dog or cats needs are! I’m a stay at home mom of two girls under 5. We love going on walks during the week. I’m very flexible during the days. We love animals! I have one labradoodle who gets to run around and play fetch. My girls are very comfortable with dogs and cats, they love to help me feed and give out treats to our dog. ☺️ My kiddos will most likely be attending each visit and walk.

About: While my experience caring for pets professionally is limited, I worked in healthcare for a short stint out of high school, delivering medical oxygen supplies to peoples homes, and setting up the equipment for patients. One of my favorite parts of the job was when the patients had pets! Frequently, their pets warmed up to me as soon as I was welcomed in to do my work, which would always brighten up my day. Of course, I have pets myself. I've been caring for my cat, Winslow, for about a year and a half now. He's fantastically affectionate and he's been an excellent companion in my home. I also help my parents with their cats, since I live with them at the moment. As one last note, at my last job I attained a CPR certification from the American Heart Association. Human focused, of course, but I stilled learned the signs of a crisis in living beings and what to do when life hangs in the balance. I hope never to have to use said skills, but if a pet has a delicate health situation, I am equipped to get them the help they need if things take a turn for the worse. I am between jobs at the moment, so my schedule is about as open as it gets. I have my own responsibilities to tend to with my cat, but my parents can take care of him if your furry friend needs me around all day. First things first is a meet and greet to make sure your pet is comfortable around me. Once your pet and I have made each-other's acquaintance, we'll talk about how you usually go about caring for them yourself so we don't throw a wrench in their habits. If you're having me spend time in your home, we'll talk about how you expect me to conduct myself while house sitting.

About: I have been taking care of people’s pets since I was 12 years old. I was raised on a farm and animals are my best friends. I have taken care of friends, family, and colleagues pets most of my life. Other people’s pets become my children and I take care of them like my own pets. I work a regular full time job that is hybrid. I walk regularly and enjoy bring a pet along for the walk with me. I also hike and will adjust my distance based on the pet. My professional career I have worked in security and law enforcement. My current position I am a Network Engineer for the 911 Network. Your pet will be safe with me.

About: I would focus on offering a customized service if needed, maintaining high level of responsibility, timely communication, providing excellent care but most importantly unconditional love to all my furry friends, I have taken care of cats and dogs from friends and family, and of course my own pets! I work from home most of the time, I like to take breaks and go for walks, dedicate time to my pets (feeding schedule, medication need…)weekend I like to go for hike and longer walks if allows, spend time in the dog parks as well. I will follow any owner recommendations, instructions to best take care of the furrys, no problems if dogs are to big love them all, same with unfriendly cats :)
