Dog Walking Willow Park

About: http://www.rover.com/sit/athens71619 Experienced with medication administration (oral, topical) Daily photo/video updates so you never wonder how they're doing In-home overnight care to keep routines consistent 20+ years caring for dogs, cats, and some exotics alike. Pet care is a steady, built-in part of my day rather than something I have to squeeze in. In the morning, I feed my cat, which also gives me a natural reason to get up and start the day with some fresh air and movement. When pet sitting dogs evenings are usually the most involved part of the routine — a longer walk or play session, feeding, and some downtime together, like brushing them or just relaxing on the couch. I also handle the weekly tasks on a set day: cleaning their bedding or litter box, washing food and water bowls thoroughly. Overall, I see pet care less as a chore and more as a rhythm that keeps me consistent and grounded — it gives structure to my day whether things are calm or hectic. When I care for pets in a client's home, I start by following the routine and instructions the owner has given me as closely as possible, since consistency helps pets feel secure even when their person is away. I stick to their regular feeding times and portions, make sure fresh water is always available, and follow any specific dietary or medication instructions exactly as written. For walks and exercise, I keep to the pet's normal schedule and pace, paying attention to their energy level and any physical limitations. Indoors, I spend time on play and companionship — not just the basic tasks — since many pets get anxious or lonely when their owner is gone, and a little extra attention goes a long way. I'm also mindful of the home itself: I make sure doors and gates are secured, clean up any messes right away, and leave the space as tidy as I found it. If I notice anything unusual — a change in appetite, behavior, or a health concern — I contact the owner right away and document it, along with photos or notes if needed. Before and after each visit, I send updates to the owner so they know their pet is safe, fed, and happy, which also gives them peace of mind while they're away.

“I recommend Tiffany 100%! She was quick to respond to my request but, most of all she was patient with our dog,Ace, who is reactive to strangers and barks. She sends updates and keeps me posted on how they did each walk.”

“Stephany walked my dog Delilah and she was great. She was prompt, efficient, fairly priced and most important very caring when it came to the care of my doggo. She understands that my dog is a big part of my life and she treated her like she was family. She gave great reports about Delilah's walks and if she had fun and made sure to let me know if she went to the restroom. If I need a walker again I will surely pick her.”

“She was so great, accommodating & super close to my location. I appreciated the fact she took the heat into consideration. Definitely will use her again.”

“What a great experience! We came home to a happy and calm dog thanks to the great walks he had with Victoria. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dog! We'll definitely use your services again.”

“Mikhaila is absolutely amazing with my nervous dog. She really takes the time to understand Mira's needs and figure out how to ensure she's never truly scared or upset. Will book again!”

Helen Frances B.

“I really appreciate Heathers flexibility. Our dog is older and he’s slowing down, he spends a lot of his time sleeping in his bed. Heather spends a lot of her visit watching him sleep in his bed. But when he wanted to spend a little extra time outside this morning, Heather was nice enough to accommodate him. I love how she actually cares about my dogs and understands his moods.”

Kristin S.

“Baxter responded well to her and she was communicative.”

Ritara C.

“Brenna is terrific!! Sasha liked her immediately and she is super reliable 😁”

Sharon D.

“Christine is wonderful she took her time to be sure that our Gracie was comfortable with her before taking her for her first walk. I feel Gracie is very well taken care of.”

Stacey H.

“Allysha was wonderful! Super communicative, which was great because we were a little nervous about our first Rover walk. Would definitely recommend”

About: Hi, I'm Kim! I'm an outdoor enthusiast and dog lover and I'd love to take your pup for a nice brisk walk or jog with me. I also offer daycare, drop-in and boarding services! When your pup stays with me, they’ll be treated like a well loved member of the family. I frequently talk to, pet, play with and even sing to the pets in my care and they LOVE it! I've raised, trained and loved multiple dogs from puppy to end of life. I use positive, force-free, rewards based techniques to set consistent boundaries and proactively communicate the expectations for manners in our home. Your dog will feel safe, secure and loved here! I know how important patience and consistency are with pets; I will take the time to get to know your pet's needs and will adhere to whatever training, behavior, and/or diet programs they're on. I can't wait to care for your furry best friend! I am now available during the week! I stay busy over the weekends, but I’m typically close to home and can swing by to take your pup out as needed. Your doggo will be treated like a beloved member of the family during their stay! (Maybe like that family member who needs an eye kept on them at all times... like the toddler nephew or Auntie Mildred...)

“She was a very good walker. It was very quick for us to get the details down and she was prompt getting there at the agreed time plus my dog loved her.”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood, so I'm comfortable with any size or personality. Their safety is non-negotiable — when I was in the Peace Corps and realized the environment wasn't safe for the dog I'd adopted, I sent him back to the U.S. rather than risk it. That's the same care I bring to every walk and every stay. I run regularly, so your dog gets an actual walk, not a lap around the block — they'll come home tired and happy. I also have my own dog, so walks might come with a buddy, if you're up for it. Pet care isn't something I fit in around my day — it's already part of it. I have open availability across mornings, afternoons, and evenings, so your dog's walk or visit isn't squeezed into a narrow window between other commitments — it's a real priority, not an afterthought. I also have my own dog, so daily walks, feeding schedules, and reading a dog's mood or energy level are already habits, not extra tasks. Your dog's care gets the same consistency mine does. I show up on time and stick to your dog's usual routine — same leash, same route, same pace, unless you'd like something different. I watch their energy and body language throughout, not just for safety, but to actually read what they need that day. Before I go, I make sure water's out and everything's left the way I found it. I also send a quick photo or update after the walk, so you know exactly how it went.

About: I am both a lifelong pet owner and lover. I currently have both dogs and cats in my family. I love to meet a new friend. I am patient and a good communicator. I welcome animals of all size, age, and needs. While in my care, I am reliable and will keep your pet's schedule. I am comfortable with special needs and meds, and I am really good at following directions. I want to meet your baby!! I am also comfortable and experienced with most small animals. I would love to discuss caring for your fish, reptiles, birds, rodents, or any other small exotic pets. I am lucky to have a flexible work schedule. Morning, afternoon, and evening visits all work with my schedule as long as planned in advance. I am a respectful friend to both your pet and home. My visits will always occur at the agreed time, and I will make sure things are as expected with each visit. I will request all of the information needed to care for your pet, and if any questions that pop up, I will contact you directly.

About: Hi, I'm Sam! I am an unabashed dog mom who loves animals and wants to pet them all! I had a now 12 year old boxer mix named Ellie that we had raised since she was 4 months old, and I grew up with many dogs of many breeds around all the time. I recently moved back to Colorado from Charlotte and am looking forward to meeting the animals and people who live in this beautiful city! Since I just moved back to Colorado, I am currently not working, so I have all the time in the world! And I am happy to fill that time with animals! Most comfortable watching animals at your house because I am staying with family for a while, but I am happy to board with permission from said family.

About: Hello! I’m incredibly interested in watching your dog or cat, getting to know and understand their individual needs to customize their care. I am going to be getting my first dog of my own very soon and would love to gain experience by taking care of yours! I work three 12 hour night shifts so I have plenty of off days during regular business hours during the week to accommodate your needs! I am flexible for mornings, afternoons, evenings, even middle the night depending on my availability. I can offer reliable, timely, professional care to you and your furry friend. I would also love to help with personal pet care that is above standard expectations.

About: I have cared for dogs all my life. Growing up we fostered many pups and cats. I have had many elderly pets and have experience with distributing medication. Your pet will always be the center of my attention! If you are a repeat customer and my calendar is blocked, text me! I can make acceptions for you as a thank you for loyalty! I can provide baths upon request! I also love to walk pups and get them plenty of exercise! I work from home most days. On days I am required to be in the office I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule I always strive to create a safe and trusting environment for pets, such as ensuring hazardous materials or cleaning products are stored and out of your pets reach. Iam always diligent about following pet parent instructions.

About: I have a had a dog at home ever since I can remember. I have had 4 dogs throughout my life and now have one of my own (Bebe in my profile picture). I have cared for multiple dogs for friends and family including staying overnight. I can give medicine to dogs if needed. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds! I just moved to Colorado and am currently in between jobs. This means my schedule is very open to take care of your babies! I can do mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnights if needed. My boyfriend and I have Ribsy and Bebe (a 4-year-old cat and a 3-year-old dog). They love their naps, but when the zoomies kick in, they love to play. Ribsy loves to play with his rubber lizard and string toys. Bebe loves her bones and ropes. They also both love to be lying on a blanket at all times. I clean Ribsy’s litter box daily and feed him twice a day. Bebe goes outside on a leash since we live in an apartment, gets daily walks, and we feed her whenever her bowl is empty because she is a grazer. I hope I get to give your pets the same amount of love as I give mine!

“Amber is awesome! Toby had so much fun on his walk! Toby tends top be a little shy, but not with Amber. He came right outof his shell! This girl is top notch!”
