About: I have been around pets my whole life. I understand wanting your pet to feel safe and happy while you're away. I appreciate written instructions and will follow them precisely! I am a college student so I can drop by in between classes as you need me to. I also own a little fur baby of my own and will love yours just as much. I will make sure they don't feel too anxious, clean up as needed, have plenty of food, cuddles, and affection while you're away from them.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I most recently had two dogs, a chihuahua and rotty mix. One big and one small dog! I currently live in a tiny apartment, so I try to find ways to get my dog fix in. I regularly volunteer to walk dogs at local shelters here in Grand Junction. I have experience with small and large dogs of all age ranges. I’m punctual with my schedules and can be relied on to make timely visits or give medications/food. I’m also comfortable house sitting your home and keeping up on all your chores/needs while you are away! I work seasonally for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, so in my off season I have lots of extra time to take care of pups I have a gentle demeanor when meeting/walking new to me dogs. I can adjust my care to suit whatever needs your dog may have

“Eleshia was great! I booked the last minute. Showed up on time for a puppy walk. Thank you!”

About: I’ve grown up with multiple pets (dogs, cats, fish) since I was a kid. As an adult, I’ve lived with various pets and regularly pet sit for friends and family. I currently nanny part-time during the weem, so my schedule is flexible. This provides the ability to do multiple pet check-ins throughout the day and overnight stays if requested. My preference is to take care of your pets at your home, as this environment is familiar and safe for your pets. If that is not an option, I am more than happy to board your pets at my home.

“Lori was amazing! Went over and above when taking care of my dog!”

“One of the best dog sitters we've had the pleasure of working with! Melanie was on the ball: never a food time missed or a walk uncounted. She sent us great pictures of the dogs and was punctual, communicated beautifully and made us feel like our dogs were in great hands. We appreciate her professionalism every step of the way. We would not hesitate to ask her again to watch our dogs, and feel honored she gave us her time and expertise. Thank you so much, Melanie!!”

“Very good and Renzi was tired out. Will use her again!”

About: Hi there! I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets needing extra attention. I focus on providing reliable, compassionate care—whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pets company. Friends, family, and neighbors have counted on me to care for their pets as if they were my own. I’m committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet check-ins throughout the week and on weekends. Happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. Unfortunately I can’t board pets at my current property, but I’m happy to stop by for drop-ins, walks, or to spend time with your pet in their home. I can also help with pickup or transportation if needed.

“Lori B is awesome! Our crew loved her and became more obedient as well, drats. We recommend her without reservation and for us that is unusual. A testament to her skills and our dogs’ judgment of the right person for them.”

Mick W.

“I really appreciate Emily helping me very last minute and Moose liked her and it went well.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for a while now, and am more than happy to play, snuggle, run, and care for yours as well. I work part time only on weekdays so I am available to play with your animals most of the time. I can’t wait to spend time with them. I get up early in the morning to let pets outside while I fill up their bowls for food and water. I cuddle and play with them all day. I love to make them feel loved.

About: Pet sitting for a long time for friends, family, and neighbors. Watched animals with all types of quirks. Experience with elder, disabled, puppies and kittens, and more! Able to watch for extended periods of time, and multiple pets at the same time. I am a student so pet and housesitting is no inconvenience. I can accommodate any requests for dogs to be let out, fed, given meds, and any other needs. I also clean up after myself and the animal/animals

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. For the last 15 years, I’ve owned very high energy hunting dogs, and love being able to take them on long walks, hiking in the mountains, or just play ball in the back yard. I’ll help with any kind of training/socialization a puppy or dog might need, you just have to let me know if there are behaviors you need help working on. I’m happy to drop in to check on dogs and cats of any size. If I can help out by taking a pup for a wash or anything extra like that, just ask. Willing to help transport, can come feed and medicate, as well as hang out and play for a while. I do have my own pups, and so I cannot do overnight stays at this time. Weekdays, I am only available after 6pm! I just moved back to the Grand Junction area and am working at settling into life back in the valley. I’d love to help you out with your animals! My pups are my family, they go every where with me (unless it’s to someone else’s house, of course). They get daily off leash runs in the north desert or at the family farm in Fruita. I’m not offering boarding at this time because of my own pups and lack of space.

“We really appreciated working with Angela. She worked with us on short notice. Angela is prompt, always pleasant, and she communicated with our dog Bruce specifically as though he was her client. A real professional who showed our dog loving kindness. Really perfect for Bruce and us!! We will definitely work with Angela again!”

About: I have hands on experience working in both dog boarding, dog daycare where I have cared for all temperaments, breeds, sizes and needs. I’m comfortable with multiple dogs, dogs who need a little extra attention, dogs who don’t like attention, you name it! I love keeping their training up, keeping routines in place, and of course leaving them to no energy to spare! I have a very strong understanding of dog body language, and i’m especially good with anxious dogs as one of my dogs is reactive. I always try to make all dogs feel safe and comfortable. I am experienced with oral medication the most and have limited experience with insulin. I treat every dog like how I would want mine treated. I am a current Colorado Mesa University student recieving my bachelors degree of biology to then move on to vet medical school. Until May 18th,2026 my schedule is open on tuesdays, thursdays, saturdays, & sundays. Of course I am open to staying at the doggies house, and am open limited hours other days! I am only servicing in my clients home as my dogs are more people friendly than animal friendly. In my clients home whatever is needed I will do. Crating, watching body language, feeding, playing, running, walking, I am just happy to be around dogs! I understand some dogs don’t want to be touched at all! Those dogs are my favorite because I think of it as a goal, I am always wanting to learn how to be more respectful to dogs and teach them more!

About: Other than being a pet owner myself I am always seeking out others animals. I love them. So wholesome and so much love to give . I'm a parent and work flexible gig jobs . I have the time throughout my day to do multiple walks or check ins . I am usually available on short notice . I have a fenced in dirt yard that allows for your pup and mine to be able and run wild . And a concrete padding for sun bathing. I also have medium and xl crates if your dog needs to be crated for any given reason. I am reliable and respectful of your property and space.

About: I'm a 38 year old single mom and care worker. I've had animals of all kinds most of my life, guinea pigs, dogs, birds, cats, etc. I currently have 2 cats, a Boxer/Beagle mix and 2 children (ages 18 and 15)... They are healthy and well cared for. That's important, right? Honestly, I am looking for the extra income, the interaction (I love animals), and the exercise that comes with caring for pets! I currently walk/dog sit my mother's Australian Shepard/Border Collie mix for her quite frequently, before that it was her Chow/Blue Heeler mix who has since passed away due to old age. Your pets safety and overall well being is important so I'd care for them as I would my own. I know our pets miss us when we aren't around, so having that extra care, activity and attention is what I'd provide so they aren't lonely or bored. I currently have another job, but I would be available to care for your pet (s) on my off days and before or after work. While caring for your pet, I would care for your pet(s) according to your instructions, with their health, safety, and happiness my number one priority.
