Dog Walking Will-O-The-Wisp

About: I grew up taking care of dogs and absolutely love them. Our pets are a part of our family. I think they should be loved and cared for while their owners are away and not put into a cage for the weekend. This causes stress and anxiety! Why should we be having all of the fun our pets deserve a normal weekend while we are away! I enjoy being outside and taking our dogs for walks and playing fetch! I also enjoy just snuggling up with our pup and watching a movie! I will take care of your dog like it is my own so you can have fun and not worry while you're on vacation! I am dependable and honest. Call me for your next vacation!

“We have only booked twice so far, but we trust Chey (and we have already rebooked with her). She managed to get our dog to walk over a mile (maybe treat-induced); he'll only do that on hikes with us! Also, she is respectful of our home while we're away. Five stars.”

“We have booked Emily twice now. Once to house sit our dog for a weekend trip and the second time we needed her to come walk our dog during lunch for a week while my husband was away for work. She even did a little meet and greet with us before our weekend trip to get to know our dog and how to get into our apartment. She does an amazing job! She’s taken Cali on runs with her, always sends pictures and shows up on time. We definitely trust her taking care of our pup and would recommend her to watch your dog!”

“Melissa walked my pup multiple times/day over a couple of long work days and she was wonderful! Her communication was clear, she offered to meet my dog ahead of time, and I felt super comfortable trusting my pup with her. I'd definitely recommend, and will be using her services again in the future!”

“Samuel was wonderful. Quick to respond, friendly, and reliable. I appreciated all the pictures he sent and his flexibility to help last minute.”

About: At the heart of my business is a simple philosophy: your dog isn’t just a pet on a schedule; they are family. While many sitters offer a standard walk around the block, I focus on creating a comforting, structured "home away from home" experience that respects your dog's unique personality and rhythm. Here is what truly sets my care apart: Specialized Senior Care: I have a deep softness for our older companions. I am highly experienced in managing gentle mobility assistance, strict medication schedules, and recognizing the subtle signs of discomfort or anxiety in senior dogs. I ensure their days are peaceful, safe, and filled with quiet comfort. Puppy Training Support: Raising a puppy takes a village. I don't just watch your pup; I help reinforce your ongoing training. From consistency with housebreaking and crate routines to practicing loose-leash walking and basic commands, I ensure your puppy’s development stays right on track. A Cozy, Low-Stress Environment: Whether they need high-energy mental stimulation or just a warm lap to lean against while you're away, my goal is to maintain the exact level of comfort and security they feel when they are with you. When your dog is with me, they aren’t just being watched-they are truly cared for, understood, and loved. My open and entirely flexible schedule allows me to prioritize your dog’s specific routine, whether they require precise midday medication, extra puppy potty breaks, or last-minute care when your plans suddenly change. Whether your dog is staying at my mountain retreat or I am visiting them in your home, my care is entirely centered on love, wellness, and specialized attention. I treat every pet like family, ensuring their physical, mental, and emotional needs are fully met through a luxurious, high-standard routine. Here is exactly how I care for your pet: Positive Reinforcement Training: I believe in building confidence through kindness. Throughout the day-whether we are practicing leash manners or rewarding good choices-I use positive reinforcement to keep your dog engaged, happy, and learning. Outdoor Adventures (Walks, Hikes & Lake Swims): Taking full advantage of our beautiful surroundings, I tailor outdoor time to your dog's energy level. This includes brisk neighborhood walks, scenic mountain hikes, and even refreshing lake swims for the water lovers. Home-Cooked Nutrition: Proper nutrition is vital. If your dog eats a specialized diet, I am happy to cool and prep their custom, home-cooked meals precisely to your instructions so their digestion stays perfect. Weekly Grooming & Pampering: A clean pup is a happy pup. I incorporate a weekly groomer routine to keep your dog brushed, fresh, and feeling their absolute best during extended stays. Dedicated Snuggle Time: Emotional comfort is just as important as physical exercise. I always make plenty of time for quiet, cozy one-on-one snuggles so your dog feels safe, loved, and completely at home.

I love dogs of all sizes and breeds and enjoy helping keep pups active, happy, and well cared for while their owners are busy. I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and make sure they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away.

“Michelle was an absolute win for Aum. She was stoked to be walked by her. She loved her mid day walks & companionship during my longer work days. Michelle brought attentiveness, patience, & thoughtful handling to every walk, and it showed in Aum’s demeanor. I had full confidence in the care & attention she provided. Would gladly book with her again & highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, intuitive care. Thank you so much Michelle!”

About: I have been taking care of a large variety of dogs for 20 years. From eight weeks old to 16 years old, from pugs to chows and pitbulls to 140 pound malamutes I have cared for them all. I can come by to walk and feed your best friends once a day or stay and cook them meals as per your request. I want to make sure you and your loved ones are as comfortable as possible while you are away. I do freelance work so I have pretty open availability. Making sure you're needs are met so you are comfortable is my top priority. If for some reason I can't meet all of your needs I will tell you before committing to something that doesn't fit my schedule or abilities. I am here for you. How I care for your pets and home is mostly dependent on your requests. I give medicine, food and exercise as requested. I can simply fill a food bowl, measure servings and even cook protein and veggies for your dogs if that is what you want. I am happy to keep you updated or send you pictures if you'd like. Walks are as far/long/plentiful as requested. I want to provide you with the comfort of knowing someone is there to care for your loved one as you would while you are away.

About: Hey, I’m Natalia! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes very naturally to me. I grew up in a home with rescued cats my whole life, where caring for animals was always part of everyday life. I currently live in a home full of six cats, all totally spoiled with completely different personalities, quirks, and needs. I genuinely love getting to know each animal individually and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that suits them. One of my cats also has a disability, so I’m very familiar with being patient, attentive, and adapting care when needed. I grew up with an Old English Sheepdog who I adored, and I cared for him all the way into his old age. When his health declined, I took on everything from helping with mobility to changing his diapers and treating bed sores. That experience really shaped the way I show up for animals, especially when they need extra gentleness. I live in a large home with my siblings and a roommate, so there’s always a loving, calm environment and plenty of attention to go around. Even when I step out, my cats are never without company, which means they’re used to consistent care, interaction, and a very social atmosphere. I run my own business, which allows me to work remotely from home or wherever I am and gives me a flexible schedule, so I can work around what you and your pet need. While a lot of my experience has revolved around cats, I’m very open, intuitive, and willing to learn each dog’s personality and routine. I’m naturally very detail-oriented and will always do my best to follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for. Please let me know whatever I can do ahead of time to help you and your furry friends feel comfortable whilst in my care! My schedule is very open and flexible, as I run my own business and work remotely from home which allows me to be available for a variety of routines and special care needs or instructions for your pets. I’m happy to accept same day bookings and work around yours and your pet’s schedule, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or specific visit times, I always do my best to be consistent and reliable! I understand that every pet has different needs and comfort levels, and I always prioritize their safety above all else. I’m happy to accommodate your preferences, whether that means keeping pets separated, maintaining indoor routines, or following specific care instructions. Clear communication is extremely important to me, and I’ll always make sure we’re aligned so your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for.

About: I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs, including blind and deaf dogs. With patience, experience, and compassion, I ensure they feel safe and loved. I have extended breaks at work that allow me to take the fur babies out during the day and spend time doing their favorite things while you are away!! I always check with the clients preferences, along with the pet preferences, and treat every animal as their own! Personalized care for your furry babies.

About: I’ve been raising, fostering and rescuing dogs for the past 13 years. I’ve been through all the dog life stages and dealt with all varieties of dog behavioral and medical issues. Everyone I know says that in their next life they want to come back as one of my dogs-spoiled to no end! I work for myself and mostly from home so I am very flexible with my schedule and my ability to spend a lot of quality time with you dog. Also, I have about 10 fenced in acres up in the mountains that is a great place to bring you pup for some off leash playtime if that’s something you’re interested in I have a lot of space in my home and also over 10 fenced in acres to explore (with supervision, of course). Outdoor play/ walk time at my house can be on or off lease depending on what you are most comfortable with

About: Personalized Dog Boarding & One-on-One Care 🐕 One Dog—or One Household—at a Time 🐾 I’ve raised and cared for animals my entire life—from two wonderful Staffordshire Bull Terriers to cats and even a Scarlet Macaw. Over the years, I’ve learned that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. That’s why I keep my boarding intentionally small. I care for just one dog at a time, unless the dogs are from the same household. This means your pup gets my full attention in a calm home environment, without off-leash interaction with unfamiliar dogs. What Your Dog Can Expect 🐕 3–4 walks per day, tailored to their energy level and routine 🏡 A calm, comfortable home environment 👀 Close, attentive supervision throughout their stay 🥾 Local walks or valley hikes upon request ❤️ Personalized care based on your dog’s personality, habits, and needs My goal is simple: to make your dog feel comfortable, cared for, and at home while you’re away. Before Booking We’ll start with a quick conversation about your dog’s temperament, routine, exercise needs, and anything else that will help me provide the best care. If it feels like a good fit, we’ll schedule a meet & greet so your pup can meet me, explore the space, and get comfortable before their stay. Rates Rates are tailored to your dog’s individual needs, routine, and level of care. For repeat clients, we can establish a consistent rate that works comfortably for both of us. Every dog is different. Every stay is personalized. Dedicated Full-Time Dog Care When your dog stays with me, they’re never just left alone. Caring for dogs is my full-time job, and I provide around-the-clock supervision. Other than a brief trip for essentials, your pup has my full attention day and night. Because every dog has different needs, rates may vary. Some pups require more time, energy, or structure, and in those cases the rate is adjusted to reflect the additional supervision or management needed to keep them safe and comfortable. This ensures every dog receives the right level of care — and gives you the confidence that your furry friend is being looked after as if they were my own. Safe & Secure Environment My home has a fully fenced backyard, built and maintained with safety in mind. After raising two strong alpha dogs here for 17 years, I made sure the fencing is secure and reliable. Dogs always get supervised time outside — I never just leave them unattended in the yard.

About: I have been babysitting and taking care of dogs since I was 14 years old. I got my own dog child 5 years ago. I have no trouble with large or small pups! I love to get in some sort of outdoor activity everyday and having a fun companion with me makes it even better! I work full time but am pretty flexible with my schedule. Everyone takes care of their dog differently. Meeting your expectations is important to me. Depending on those expectations, that is how I will take care of your dog.

“Jacenda was great! We will definitely request her to walk our dog in the future!”

About: I am a huge animal lover and my dog, Goose, is my world. I find genuine happiness in taking care of dogs (especially if they get along with mine!) and I have Rover sat/walked several dogs in both Denver and Jackson Hole. I know how important it is to give dogs walks, love, and treats! I have spent a lot of time training Goose and I would ensure I adhere to whatever rule a dog’s owner has. I love matching a dog’s energy whether that includes cuddling with them, taking them on walks/hikes, or playing in the park. I’m a sucker for giving them treats but am VERY strict about no human food and adhering to whatever dietary restrictions they have! Dogs are my therapy; caring for them happy makes me happy. I work from home half of the week and am happy to adjust my flexible schedule as needed to ensure any dog’s needs are taken care of, including mine. I always ensure I’m aware of a dog’s walking behaviors. I never walk without a leash and do not allow them to go off lease and in a public setting until I know I’m comfortable with them. I never give in to begging for human food and always ensure I shut crates appropriately as desired by the owner. I often reward puppies with small treats for positive enforcing behavior.

“Jillian has been a wonderful resource for us when we need help with our pups. She's reliable and flexible in accommodating schedule changes. But, most importantly, she's treats our really well, and they adore her and her family too.”

About: I've rescued, adopted, and rehabbed animals since I was a young girl. I have experience with all ages, and those with mobility issues and disabilities. I am currently working from remote/from home and am done by 3 30 pm, which always gives me the opportunity to be with your fur babies all day. I care for animals as closely to what they're used to, in their homes. I'm very careful to follow feeding times and walking times closely.

“What to say? We loved her!! She takes her job seriously and is so proactive in the care of your animals. They come first (as they should) and we could not be more grateful. Punctual and responsible and we have all intentions of booking her from today forward. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!!!! 💕”
