Finding the Right Fit for You & Your Pup

At Nibbles & Yips, we know that care isn’t one-size-fits-all—especially for pets who are sensitive, reactive, or just need a little extra understanding. That’s why our services go beyond the basics. Whether you're navigating medical needs, behavior challenges, or simply want care that feels more personal, we meet you where you are. From extended in-home visits to vet tech support and behavior-informed walks, we’re here to help your pet feel secure—and to help you breathe easier knowing they’re in good hands.

Did you know your dog’s emotional health
is shaped by their daily routines?

Dogs thrive on predictability. Regular walks and check-ins can reduce anxiety, reactivity, and even digestive issues.

Many “behavioral issues” are actually stress signals. Consistent care helps relieve the pressure.

Drop-in visits, structured walks, and one-on-one support aren’t “extra”—they’re how sensitive dogs feel safe and seen.

We don’t just “let them out”—we learn their language, respond to their needs, and help them decompress.

Walking With Confidence Kit

What's involved?

We offer personalized, private dog walks tailored to your pup’s needs and preferences. Whether they’re reactive, anxious, or just set in their ways, we match them with a consistent walker who “gets it.”
All walks include:
• 1-on-1 time with a trained walker
• Walk length of your choosing
• Post-walk update with notes & photos
• Reinforcement of preferred cues or calming strategies

What are the requirements?

We welcome dogs of all personalities and backgrounds—especially those who don’t thrive in chaotic environments.
To keep things safe and consistent, we ask that all walking clients:
• Commit to 1+ walks per week (or a monthly package)
• Provide a secure collar/harness + leash
• Share any relevant behavioral info ahead of time

Reactive or special-needs dogs are always welcome. We’ll work with you to find the right fit.

Why It Costs More—
And Why It’s Worth It

Think of us like a professional babysitter—but for your pets. In the Denver metro, families pay $22–25/hour for a sitter to stay with their kids. Your pets deserve that same level of care and attention.

But here’s the difference:

  • We’re employees, not gig workers

  • We’re trained in behavior, meds, and enrichment

  • We bring backup, oversight, and accountability

  • We make your pet feel safe, understood, and seen

Structured Walks
for Sensitive or Reactive Dogs

Specialized Support. Relationship-Based Care.

Some dogs need more than a walk—they need calm leadership and a handler who truly understands them. Our Structured Walks are designed for reactive, sensitive, or high-energy dogs, as well as puppies learning leash manners early in life.

Led by staff trained in our in-house behavior program—based on the relationship-centered methods inspired by educator Sean O’Shea—these sessions provide clarity, structure, and calm confidence-building on every outing.

Our rates reflect the expertise and presence required to walk these dogs safely and successfully. We invest in our team, so they can invest in your pet.
