“What an amazing day for our dog. Its the first time we left her with other people and it was wonderful. She came back happy and super tired ? she played all day and had a great time. Monica and her husband were quick to respond to every message I sent (worried mama for the first time lol) they sent me pictures and were super nice on pickup and drop off. We will definitely come back. Thank you :)”


About: I am an animal lover and have voluntarily trained animals while working in the ARMY. I establish a " sense of security" for the animals with training and intuition , that has developed over my life experiences handling animals. I enjoy seeing the happiness in my own pets; for instance, after a hike. I will treat your pets with compassion and as if they are a ' part ' of my family , while they are in my care. I love dogs and cats and am looking forward to walking, training and allowing my own dog, Precious , to have socialization with other animals. I trained Precious to co habitat with cats. She is well behaved around all types of others , people and animals.

About: My Grandmother was a Colorado State award-winning dog trainer and I grew up helping her care for her three Belgian Tervurans. I've owned several dogs throughout my life as well. I'm a sucker for animals-in-need. I have a history of volunteer work at shelters and have cared for a wide range of dogs! I have three kids aged 3, 4, and 7 who have grown up around all types of animals, including dogs of all sizes. Currently, we have two cats and two ferrets. We are extremely active with our animals and play with them throughout the day! My wife and I both work 35 hours a week on opposite schedules so one of us is always available! We have separate days off so 5 days a week, one of us has the day off. We have a large fenced in back yard with only one exterior entry point which is double gated. The double gated side yard is where we usually meet the owners when they come for pick up. The double gated entry way provides protection from dogs escaping. Wehave a large metal container that we use as a water trough that we fill with ice water 3 times a day to keep all dogs well hydrated! We have lots of dog toys for the back yard as well. Inside, dog beds are on the main floor and they have free access to the house. We do not provide kennels but will use one if it is brought and is the owners preference. Dogs eat at the same time we eat. We send LOTS of pictures and updates throughout the day!

“Cristaylee was amazing with our puppy I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER for anyone looking for a sitter. She stays in contact with you all day with pictures and videos etc. If I need a sitter in the future will most definitely make her watch our puppy again!”


About: I have caring for dogs for over 6 years, since I was a child. I grew up with 4 dogs in my family’s household so I am very used to dogs running around. I’m going to treat your fur babies as if they were my own with lots of love and treats. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I will take your animals on nice long walks and they will get the chance to run and play in a dog park. I work 5-8 hours a day and am home almost all days on Saturday’s and Can give your fur baby all the attention they need. Please tell me know if your animal has any special requirements and I’ll be happy to do so.

“Julie took such great care of our pup while we were visiting the area for the day. She was very communicative and sent lots of pics and updates about our pup. We would definitely recommend her!”


About: I've had a fur baby in my arms since I was a child. Not only did I raise my own, but I've kept my friends, my co-workers and my son's dogs while they were out of town, for a day, a week and sometimes longer. I cared for my son's senior boy while he worked, and then he brought the newest baby to me everyday she when she was a puppy, so she wasn't home alone and I could potty train her with love. I raised our German shepherd with my sons from the time she and my youngest were both just 8 weeks old. When Libby was almost 18 yo we had to have our vet assist her in crossing the rainbow bridge. From there I got my first tiny dog, a little boy named Dexter, Chihuahua 6.6 lbs, and then shortly after I got Danika, Chihuahua 5.5 lbs. They went everywhere with me, vacations, nail salon, shopping. They had a purse they loved to jump right in and 2 booster seats so they were secured safely in my car. I lost Dexter to heart disease at 14 yo and poor little Danika was lost without him. I adopted Lucylle, Chihuahua 6 lbs, she was 2 yo. She was left at the vet by her previous family, that never came back to get her. She was very aggressive towards everyone in the beginning and it took me 3 months of patience and love to bring her out of it. By that time her and Danika were best friends, and loving companions, of course they went everywhere with me. We lost Danika just few months ago, she was 16 yo. That's when I decided to start my journey with Rover, to bring some added joy into mine and Lucylle's life and give other fur babies a safe and loving place to visit when family were away. I retired 04-2024, Lucylle and I have plenty of time on our hands. I bought a patio home, with a nice fenced back yard, where I sit in the morning or anytime during the day/evening and watch Lucylle go out and do her business or just play. We take walks around the neighborhood or down at the walking trail. My neighbors are also dog lovers, they just love little Lucylle. I have a fenced back yard for them to play in with my girl, and I keep a watchful eye on them when they are outside. I can crate your baby if needed, as I do my own sometimes. I have little beds and/or a blanket for them to snuggle when they are napping. Being retired gives me plenty of time for your fur baby (and mine). Caring, playing and loving them as if they were my own.

About: My animal experience goes way back to childhood. At the age of 7 I started in 4h, learning about animal husbandry. By the age of 13 I was volunteering at the local riding stables. By high school, I was working at the local animal shelter, volunteering with local rescues and advancing my education in dog training, with hopes of getting into service dogs. At age 19 I started working at a vet clinic This just advanced my love of animals and their care even more! Fast forward to today, and I own my own in home grooming salon ❤️ I have continued to volunteer with the local rescues and shelter every chance I get. 2 years ago I was blessed with the opportunity to become a puppy raiser for a veteran service dog foundation. That was the very best experience i could of asked for! My knowledge of dogs extends into training, grooming and care. I'm knowledgeable with cats and other small animals as well! Coming from a farm and vet background, I have experience with just about every animal including exotics. My personal dogs are all very well socialized with other animals of all kinds. They all have extensive training and are completely safe with others. They know just how to make our new guest feel right at home! All my boarder dogs are treated as family, allowed on beds and furniture and cage free unless otherwise requested. Bath or grooming add ons are always available! All baths/ grooms come complete with a cute Pic! Please feel free to reach out with any questions ❤️ I work from home in my at home grooming salon, so your pet will never be alone. Should I need to leave the house for small errands, there is still someone left at home, or the animal will have a safe enclosed room to themselves. My Backyard is attached to the house and fully enclosed with a large wooden privacy fence. Pets are never left outside unattended and are kept in my view at all times.

“Taylor was amazing. Very nice and provided updates throughout the stay. Easy drop off and pickup and close to the highway. Definitely would recommend her if you need a break to visit the local cave options. Thank you so much and we will definitely reach out next time we are in town.”


“We were in town on vacation to visit distilleries. Cassie set up a meet n greet the Sunday before our visit and did a wonderful job showing us around. Day of was easy and Charlie had a great visit. Totally recommend to everyone”


About: I have always liked pets. I just never had my own space and time to have my own. However I am much of a caregiver. I would like to give your pet a little support when you are away. I have flexible schedules mostly during the weekend. During the week I am available only in the evenings due to work. But if anything, please contact me to check the availability! First I check if the pet is comfortable with me. If they are not comfortable with me, I help them get used to me. By letting them sniff me or by me just staying with them in the same space. Then I would play with them or just calmly spend time with them depending on the pet owner's instruction.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. I’m here to give your pets the same love, attention, and respect they get at home. From long walks to quiet cuddle time, I follow your routine to keep them comfortable and content. I have had my own pets for 15+ years plus, different kinds of them. You can count on me for consistent, reliable, and loving care. I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes, so you always know how your pet is doing. Safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I always provide a calm, secure, and loving environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I take time to learn each animal’s personality, routines, and any special needs they have whether it’s dietary restrictions, medications, or just needing extra cuddles and patience. I’m gentle, attentive, and always go at your pet’s pace, especially if they’re shy, anxious, or adjusting to a new situation. Clean water, a safe space, plenty of playtime, and lots of affection are always part of my care. I also give regular updates with photos and messages so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel confident, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way.
