Pet Boarding in Avon

“I'd be happy to help! Here's a friendlier version of the I booked this place last minute and the host was amazing! They were really communicative and sweet. My dog Harley loved his stay, and the location was super convenient for getting to and from the mountain. We even got to explore some fresh powder while I was snowboarding. It was a great experience overall!”

About: I've been caring for dogs my entire life and bring a calm, attentive and intuitive approach to every dog i welcome into my home. I grew up caring for dogs and have owned both Golden Retrievers and a long-haired Dachshund, giving experience with a wide range of temperaments-from energetic and playful to gentle and sensitive. I provide a structured, safe and loving environment where dogs can feel at ease while maintaining their normal routines. I'm highly attentive to each dogs individual needs, whether it's exercise, companionship or simply a calm space to relax. Having hosted many dogs in my home and being a former dog owner looking for care over the years, I understand how important it is for both pets and owners to feel confident and comfortable. My 9-year-old son Bobby is kind, respectful and experienced with dogs adding to the warm, family style environment your dog will be a part of. Nestled in Red Cliff, our home offers a true mountain escape- endless fresh air, trails, a dogs dream playground I currently have full availability, I'm home throughout the day to provide loving, attentive care, regular walks, playtime and calm, consistent routine for every dog. Our home features a partially fenced yard, a peaceful low flow creek on the property and easy access to Red Cliffs dog friendly trails for leashed or unleashed adventures in the backcountry.

“Great Experience for a little dog. The hosts were great and treated her like one of their own. It was a truly perfect experience thanks so much.”

About: I work very part-time and not during the summer at all. I take the girls every morning on a long walk, hike or to the river to play. They come everywhere with us in the car and to the kids outings. ideally the dog we are hosting loves to hike off leash and come for car rides. Dogs must love kids (three boys ages 8, 10 and 12) and our two sweet, docile female dogs. Our dogs are never home alone more than an hour a day and roam the house when so. We also foster regularly for a local rescue but I wouldn’t overlap our foster dogs with a client. I don’t work during the summer and the rest of the year it’s very part time. We walk or hike every morning. On days that aren’t too hot the girls come with me in the car for errands and to take my kids to their activities. We have an unfenced yard and a deck. Our girls just lay in the sun but I also have a tie out if your dog isn’t perfectly trustworthy. Dogs are allowed to roam the house and sleep on any bed :) If they like their crate i’m happy to set that up for them.

“I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience we had with Tia and her family. First experience with Rover - and it was great. Our Rocky became a member of the family- took hikes - snuggled at night and when i picked him up - i could see he was well-loved. Thank you Tia!!”

About: I've grown up around dogs and had my own for almost 10 years. Just because he is gone, doesn't mean I can't help others when they need it. I'm one of those people that walk into a dog park and get surrounded by the pack. I adore them! As of right now, I have all the time in the world to care for and look after all the fuzzy critters. I appreciate all animals, no matter what the species. I currently live in West Vail, not far from the dog park so lots of playtime throughout the day. I love hiking and long walks to clear the mind.

“We’ve had wonderful experiences boarding our dog with Katie and Ryan. They are communicative, kind and willing to accommodate our dog’s medication schedule. We received regular updates and photos, and it’s clear our dog was happy and well-cared for in their care. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Stuss — a firefighter/paramedic and lifelong dog person based near Keystone/Dillon. Outside of work I volunteer at the Frisco Animal Shelter and with Summit Lost Pet Rescue, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of dogs: puppies, seniors, shy dogs, reactive dogs etc. I’ve also owned two dogs through their whole lives, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your best friend with someone else. My setup is simple: I only take one dog at a time (or two from the same household). That means your dog gets my full attention, a calm environment, and care that’s tailored to their routine — not a busy “pack” situation. I donate 20% of my earnings on Rover to the local animal shelter/rescue work I support. My work schedule is 48 hour shifts, and then I have a block of 4 days off. Some of those days I go on adventures, and some of those days I chill around the house. Those "rest days" are when I open my calendar up for dog sitting, so, your dog(s) will have my company all day while I'm at home doing chores, relaxing, and getting outside. I love to hike year round and I will take your dog with me, if they're up for it. I always match the day to your dog. Energetic dogs can join for longer walks/hikes, and seniors can take it slow with short strolls and extra couch time. I live in a ground-floor condo at the end of a quiet street with trails and open space nearby. With your permission, I also drive a few minutes to local trailheads for variety, and I kind of specialize in knowing quiet places to hike without the crowds. I live alone in a quiet, uncluttered home — great for dogs who do best in a calm space. Dogs are welcome on the couch and bed (unless you prefer otherwise). I stick closely to your dog’s normal routine: meals, meds, potty schedule, exercise, and any special instructions.

“This was my first time using Rover and I felt anxious about it. When I picked up my black lab Benny at the end of a three day trip, he looked happy and was affectionate towards Ben. I got pictures all weekend from Ben and his girlfriend Mel, I’ve been running on trails and getting lots of time outside. They were both extremely kind, Thoughtful, and professional. I felt at ease and I will for sure use Ben again.”

“Jamie is great! My dog Charlie has stayed over several times now and always has a good time. He is taken care of very well and Jamie is always quick to respond to question and give updates.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and honestly can’t remember a time when there wasn’t a pup in the house. I grew up in a family that always had multiple dogs at once — labs, cocker spaniels, dachshunds, golden retrievers, goldendoodles — plus all the neighborhood dogs that seemed to end up at our place for playdates or pet sitting. Caring for different breeds and personalities has always just been part of my daily life, not something I had to learn later. Since moving out on my own, my roommates have almost always had dogs, and I naturally end up sharing responsibilities — walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure they feel loved and included. I’m a big “dog person” in every sense: I connect with dogs quickly, read their body language well, and make a real effort to help them feel safe, calm, and happy while their people are away. Whether your dog is high-energy and playful or more of a couch snuggler, I’ll treat them like my own and keep you updated so you can relax while you’re gone. I currently work fully remote and have about a 20 to 30 hour per week workload, which leaves me with plenty of extra time each and every day! I’m a very active person and tend to fill my downtime with walking hiking cross country skiing or downhill skiing whenever I can and my flexible schedule certainly helps that. I’ll be more than happy to do just about anything that you request to make your dog happy and comfortable. Let’s just talk about it first!

“Zach was such a great sitter for Penny. I had a unique situation and he was very flexible and accommodating. Penny loved staying with him, and I would book with him again.”

About: I'm reliable, fun, loving, and have experience with dog sitting for 6 years. I have helped out with dog sitting for neighbor's, friend's, and my own family's dogs. I have 2 labradoodles back home so I have a huge soft spot for all pets! Will always care for pets like they're my own. Im currently available full time- glad to help whenever and however needed! I can take pets on walks, pick them up from appointments and take care of them at their homes too. I have always treated my labradoodles like they are my children. I grew up pampering and caring for them more than most do. I am very loving with pets, treat them with respect , and will always prioritize their well-being.

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities — from energetic adventure pups to seniors who need a slower pace and extra patience. I’m especially attentive to routine, behavior cues, and emotional well-being. I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable, whether that’s sticking closely to their schedule, providing calm companionship, or getting them outside for structured exercise. I have experience with: Puppies (potty routines, basic manners, consistency) Senior dogs (gentle walks, medication reminders, extra monitoring) High-energy dogs who need both physical activity and mental stimulation Anxious or shy pets, using calm handling and positive reinforcement I’m reliable, communicative, and proactive — you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, respect, and genuine care. What truly sets me apart is that I don’t rush care. Your pet gets real attention, not just a check-in — and your peace of mind is just as important to me as their happiness structure my days around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get consistent attention, walks, meals, playtime, and companionship — not rushed drop-ins. I have the flexibility to: Provide morning, midday, and evening care Take dogs out for regular walks and outdoor time Be present for longer stays and extended companionship Adjust schedules to match your pet’s normal routine I’m mindful of maintaining consistency, especially for pets who thrive on structure or need extra reassurance while their humans are away. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a long walk, or overnight care, your pet is worked into my day as a priority — not an afterthought. I communicate clearly about availability and will always let you know ahead of time if anything changes. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and routines stay consistent. I follow your instructions closely and treat your space with the same respect I would my own. In your home, I: Maintain your pet’s normal feeding, walking, and medication schedule Provide companionship, playtime, and calm presence (not just quick check-ins) Keep your pet’s environment clean, safe, and low-stress Watch for behavior or health changes and communicate proactively Send regular updates and photos so you feel connected while you’re away I’m attentive to details — from securing doors and gates to respecting house rules and routines. For overnight stays, I ensure pets have consistency, comfort, and reassurance throughout the day and night. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, relaxed, and cared for — and for you to have total peace of mind knowing both your pet and your home are in trustworthy hands.

“Jana was great! Was able to accommodate us with short notice. Kept in touch easily and our dog seemed happy. Would absolutely use her again.”

About: I’ve owned dogs and taken care of family and friend’s for decades. I’m an animal lover of all types, but particularly man’s furry best friend! I work remote for a nonprofit and have plenty of flexibility within my schedule. Wednesday and Thursday nights I am unavailable, otherwise let’s chat and find time for your pup. I do not offer care in my home. I will come to you and provide comfort and care for your dog in the environment they are used to, ensuring whatever unique needs they have are met!
