Meet the Owner

Welcome to Four Dog Paws! My name is Heather and I’m glad you’ve stopped by. With over 16 years of service to pet lovers in the Denver metro area, I’m thrilled to call myself the Pack Leader here at Four Dog Paws. As a devoted dog mom to my special needs pit bull, Ellie, and her rambunctious sister dog, Birdie (where my Aussie-lovers at?), I understand the challenges of finding reliable a reliable dog walker and pet sitter firsthand. That’s why I’m committed to providing exceptional dog walking and pet sitting services that exceed expectations for Denver pet parents. I want you to experience the comfort of having someone love your pets just as you do! When I’m not ensuring your pets receive top-notch care, you’ll find me snowboarding, biking, or camping with my husband and two kiddos. And fun fact: in a past life, I played roller derby. These days you might spot me skating with my daughter along Denver’s sun-drenched sidewalks. -Heather

Hey there! I'm Joan

For the past 6 tail-wagging years, I’ve been proudly serving as Assistant Pack Leader at Four Dog Paws. In addition to watching our furry friends while you are out of town, I also manage all scheduling requests. After a long stint in the corporate world, I decided to trade in my computer for a leash, and what a pawsitive change it’s been!

Before my days with Four Dog Paws, I spent my time raising a wonderful family and navigating the bustling streets of the Denver metro area. Yep, I’ve been a Mile-High City dweller since ’77!

Nowadays, you can find me spreading smiles and handing out belly rubs to pups of all shapes and sizes. Life is good when you’re surrounded by wagging tails and unconditional love!

Arthur - Dog Walker

Hi! I'm Arthur

Arthur Trass here from the “Show-me State” of Missouri. Married with two adult children, working for Four Dog Paws combines two of my passions: dogs and the outdoors!


I love all things related to dogs and I’m always hungry to absorb more knowledge that’ll make me a better and more informed doggie specialist.


My full-time gig is with the Denver Housing Authority where I get the pleasure of serving those who want to improve their lot in life by enhancing their educational and professional skills while learning to become self-sufficient.


Intense sports fanatic who loves to exercise and watch sporting events with my family.

Hey there, I'm Mark

Originally hailing from South Carolina and Florida, I made the move to Denver in 2001, swapping palm trees for mountain peaks. For 22 years, I soared through the skies in the airline industry until 2022, when I decided to embark on an early retirement adventure. Nowadays, you can often spot me hitting the trails with my wife and our beloved pup, Java, in tow. As for my foray into pet sitting, I was drawn to Four Dog Paws because of their upstanding reputation (aw, thanks Mark!) and my love of dogs. Pet sitting allows me to spend quality time with all sorts of furry companions – a role I cherish wholeheartedly.

Karissa Pet Sitter

Hey there! I'm Karissa

I enjoy walking and sitting with dogs because I love them and all animals—they hold a special place in my heart. Having grown up around animals, I’ve always had pets throughout my life. My current fur baby, Ziggy, is 2 years old and keeps me busy with his lively personality. Working at Four Dog Paws for almost 3 years has been rewarding; I appreciate the team’s genuine care and love for the pets, their owners, and each other, making us feel like family.

Originally from Texas, I’m married with two sons. After our youngest son graduated and went off to college, my family and I decided to embark on a new adventure in Colorado. We fell in love with the state immediately during our vacations, prompting us to make it our next home as empty nesters.

Currently, I’m pursuing my passion for cooking in culinary school, set to graduate this August. I’m also working as an apprentice with a local private chef, with aspirations of starting my own business in the culinary industry. In my free time, I enjoy various outdoor activities, spending quality time and making memories with my family and pup, reading, cooking, crafting, gardening, and simply savoring each day.

Hey there! I'm Kelsey

I’m deeply rooted in Colorado, with family ties tracing back six generations to our ranch near Golden. Agriculture runs in our blood; my grandmother even studied it at UNC. Our family history includes ancestors who mined the clay that built Denver’s iconic bricks. Suffice it to say, our love for animals is as ingrained as our Colorado roots.

Before the pandemic, my bustling household consisted of my baby girl, two dogs, a cat, and a husband. Now, it’s just my five-year-old daughter and me. To fill our days and share our love for animals, we volunteer to pet sit and walk dogs for neighbors.

By profession, I’m a real estate appraiser, but my journey has seen me wear many hats. I once ran a dog daycare and spent a decade in portraiture, leveraging my degree in photography. But through it all, pets have remained my passion and priority.

In my spare time, you’ll find me showering love on every furry friend I meet. Pets are truly my cup of tea, and I can’t wait to share that love with your beloved companions.

BJ - Pet Sitter

Hey there, I'm BJ

Originally from Minnesota, I moved to Colorado during my college years and never looked back. I’ve gained experience from working at a dog daycare, volunteering at animal shelters, caring for others’ dogs, and raising and training my own four-legged companions. Currently, I’m training my two-year-old Labradoodle, Sam, to become a therapy service dog. I retired a year ago but pretty quickly decided I wanted to continue caring for animals. With insight from friends already in the industry, it became clear that Four Dog Paws was the ideal choice for me to pursue this enduring passion. Caring for your beloved pets is truly a passion of mine!
