Spring in Denver: How to Keep Your Pets Happy, Healthy, and Active

Springtime in Denver is a breath of fresh air—for both humans and their pets! As the snow melts and the trails thaw, it’s the perfect time to shake off the winter blues and get moving. At Denver Pro Pet Sitting, we know that your pets are part of the family. Here are some spring tips to help your furry friends thrive in the Mile High City.

1. Hit the Trails (But Watch for Mud & Paws!)

Denver is known for its gorgeous trails and mountain views. Spring is the ideal time to enjoy scenic walks through neighborhoods like Washington Park or Cherry Creek. However, melted snow can leave muddy paths so always check your pup’s paws for debris or irritation after walks.

💡 Pro Tip: Bring a towel and paw wipes for post-walk cleanups. We keep them handy during our dog walks!

2. Spring Allergies Aren’t Just for Humans

Denver’s pollen counts can spike in the spring, and pets can be sensitive too. If your dog is scratching more than usual or your cat has watery eyes, they might be reacting to allergens.

📞 Consult your vet if you notice signs of discomfort. As your local pet sitters, we’ll always keep an eye out and update you with any concerns we notice during our visits.

3. Watch for Ticks and Fleas

With warmer weather comes the return of pests. Denver has seen rising tick activity, especially in wooded or grassy areas like the South Platte River Trail or Red Rocks.

✅ Be sure your pets are up to date on flea and tick prevention. We’ll also check for ticks during each visit and let you know right away if we find any.

4. Hydration is Key in Higher Altitudes

Even in spring, Denver’s dry air and high elevation can dehydrate pets quickly. Whether you’re hiking in Golden or just playing fetch in the backyard, keep water on hand.

💧 We make sure all water bowls are clean and full during every drop-in or overnight visit.

5. Spring Cleaning? Don’t Forget Your Pet’s Gear

Now’s a great time to wash pet beds, leashes, collars, and toys. Also check for wear and tear—especially on hiking gear if you're planning springtime adventures.

🧼 We can help with basic gear tidying during extended pet sitting visits—just let us know!

6. Plan Ahead for Pet Sitting During Spring Getaways

Spring break and long weekends are prime time for local travel. If you're heading out of town, book your pet care early. We offer a variety of personalized services—from quick check-ins to extended in-home care—tailored to your pet’s needs.

📅 We serve neighborhoods all across the Denver Metro Area, including Parker, Highlands Ranch, Centennial, and beyond.
