A dog walker for Boulder, booked ahead
Leashed walks on your dog’s Boulder routes, scheduled in advance as a regular plan or alongside an overnight stay.
Walking dogs in Boulder means planning
Hope’s small team is based in Westminster, so Boulder walks run on a schedule you agree on ahead of time.
That works well for owners who want the same weekday walks for months, or a dog walked on the days a sitter is already staying over. It doesn’t suit a same-morning request, and Hope would rather say so up front than promise a walk she can’t make.
The far end of her area
No town Hope covers is farther from her house. Walks here go on a fixed weekly calendar instead of being called in that day.
Walks inside a longer stay
Plenty of Boulder clients pair walks with an overnight. While your sitter sleeps at your house, the morning and afternoon walks are built into their day.
Your tag isn’t your walker’s tag
A Voice and Sight tag covers you and your dog, not a walker. With Hope’s team, your dog stays on a hand-held leash on city trails.
Crowded paths, nervous dogs
Bikes, runners and strollers all use the creek path. For a blind, deaf or jumpy dog, your walker picks a quieter street or a calmer hour.
Dog owners who handed Hope the leash
Hope took exceptional care of both of our dogs. She contacted us whenever she had a question…
When we returned home, our pets were happy, relaxed, and well cared for…
From first visit to a steady walk schedule
A Boulder walk plan is settled once, in writing, and then repeated week after week.
Visit
Hope or one of her sitters comes to your Boulder home at no cost, watches how your dog takes the leash and asks where you usually go.
Choose
You pick the days, the walk length and the route. Some owners want the same days every week, others only want walks during a trip.
Walk
On the booked days your dog goes out leashed, on the agreed route, at a pace your dog can keep.
Report
Back home your dog gets fresh water, the door is locked, and you get a text with a photo.
For how Hope’s team walks dogs everywhere she works, read about the dog walking service. Going away? Overnight pet sitting in Boulder folds the walks into the stay, so the sitter staying over handles them too.

Schedule a free walkthroughBoulder rules that shape the walk
The route is yours. These local rules decide how your walker handles it.
- A hand-held leash on Open Space and Mountain Parks trails, since the Voice and Sight tag is tied to its holder
- Leashed stretches of the Boulder Creek Path or the Wonderland Lake loop, at quieter times when possible
- Fenced play at Valmont or East Boulder Dog Park, only when you approve it
- No unfenced tag areas, such as the one at Howard Heuston Park
- Early or short walks when it’s hot, windy or stormy over the foothills
Boulder dog walking questions
Can I get a Boulder dog walk on short notice?
Usually not. Boulder is the farthest part of her service area, so walks there are booked ahead as a regular plan or as part of an overnight. You’re welcome to ask, and she’ll give you a straight answer.
My dog has a Voice and Sight tag. Can my walker let them off leash?
No. The tag program covers you as the handler, not your walker, so every walker on Hope’s team keeps your dog on a hand-held leash on Open Space trails.
What does a dog walker in Boulder, CO cost?
New clients get 20% off their first booking of walks. The pet care cost calculator gives a starting estimate, and Hope sets the rate with you at the free walkthrough.
Can walks be added to a Boulder overnight stay?
Yes, and that is one of the easiest ways to get walks in Boulder. While your sitter is staying at your home, your dog’s walks are part of every day of the sit.
Will my dog go to a dog park?
Only a fenced one, and only if you say yes in the care plan. Valmont and East Boulder Dog Park both have fences. Otherwise your dog’s walks stay on leash.
