Pet Sitting Avon

About: Hi! I'm Kaile (Ki-la), or Auntie K, a born and raised Colorado mountain girl who moved back from Hawai’i where I dog sat full time for years. I moved back to Colorado to work as a social worker and working part time so the rest of my time is available to give your fur babies the best experience possible! I specialize in pups that need extra attention. Whether they need to be around people all day because of temperament or separation anxiety, if they have problems being around other dogs, perhaps they're shy and skittish, or maybe they have other behavior problems, or whatever other special needs your furry family members have needs, my background working for the human society and working with traumatized rescue dogs and special needs little humans in preschool. Give me the knowledge, temperament and experience to ensure the best experience for your pups. Those dogs are what I'm here for. I base my scheduling and pricing on having one pup with me at a time (unless they're "sibling" dogs from the same ohana), and if there's an occasion for overlap with another dog it will only be if I've notified you beforehand and gotten your permission. Please also keep that in mind when you're comparing prices and other dog sitters, while possibly having a yard and all of whom are amazing, offer services for multiple, often up to 7 dogs, at the same time. WHAT YOUR PUPS DAY WITH ME WILL BE LIKE I might not have a yard but we're right on the river as well as connected to a great walking trail system. I am at home all day every day, so I'm available for unlimited walks, hikes, potty breaks, whatever your pup needs. From the time you drop them off to the time you pick them up, I can guarantee I will be with them the entire time, playing ganes, going on walks or hikes, working on basic training, curled up on the couch for a nap or hanging out in the kitchen together as I cook dinner, feeding your pup in the kitchen so they're eating with me and my dad. ALL DAY ONE ON ONE EXPERIENCE! I will never leave your dog alone in my home, even if they are boarding over night. Many other area dog sitters work outside full time jobs, or are out of the house with their children for a good part of the day. They might require crate training, or will put your dog inside and be home only every 4-8 hours for a few short minutes for a quick shishi and water break. Would you pay for your toddler to be babysat all day with a family that, like yourself, works outside their home all day? Where they would leave your child in a locked room except for being let out twice a day for no longer than a potty and snack break? Why would you want the same for your fur baby? A DOG SITTING EXPERIENCE THAT'S LIKE A BABYSITTING/NANNY EXPERIENCE INSTEAD OF A GLORIFIED HOME BASED KENNEL I don't have children living with me and currently I don't have my own dogs with me. When you dog is here with me, they're with me the entire time and I treat them exactly like they're my own fur babies. I live in Avon CO and will be out of town from Sunday Oct 18- Tuesday Nov 3rd but when I return I should be available all winter season across the Vail Valley :-) Your pup's safety is my top priority. I live in a 7th floor condo with my father in Ko Olina. We have one lanai with sliding glass doors. I have an extra fence that I put up when I have tiny pups to keep them safe. We have one wide open room for the kitchen and living room so your dogs will always be in my sight even if I'm not directly interacting with them. I don't let any dog leave my front door without their collar and leash, and if they have one their harness. I go on lots of walks and adventures, even occasional runs and hikes depending on the dog and 'ohana wishes but I will never take them off leash. There is a dog park in Ewa that provides a secure off leash area. Its not somewhere I go often but with one of my regular pups, their parents okayed taking him there. I will only utilize this option after first speaking with you and getting your okay. I will only take one dog at a time (two if they're the same ohana) and always be with them. I know with COVID winding down socialization is a concern of many of our dog ohanas. I will sometimes have more than one dog staying with me. Most commonly its for an ohana with two pups. The other times they're dogs from two of my regular clients. I never have a new dog at the same time as another, even a regular. I like to spend time bonding with your pup and getting to know their personality and how they interact with other dogs. If they do well I will ask you if you're okay with your pup having playtime with another dog I know. Two of my regular pups are now BFF! Especially after COVID many puppy parents are concerned about their furry family member being socialized correctly. This is my aim whenever I have more than one dog. I never have more than one or two more, and I make it a point to provide even more direct interaction to help your dogs learn to or continue to socialize with their puppy friends in the safest and healthiest way possible! I have worked at the humane society in Colorado and volunteered in multiple shelters. I have basic dog and cat first aid training.

“Alex was awesome and helped me get the pups out at my work while I had a day in the field. One of my pups needs medication, and he had no problem helping with that as well! Super appreciated his kindness!”

About: Pet care for over 20 years Experience with senior doggos Experience with puppies Experience with giving medicine (shots, pills, eye drops) I love animals and would love to take them on an adventure. I am available for mornings/early afternoons during work days. On days I have off I am free most of the day as long as I know your needs in advance. I have a pet friendly home that has a walkout back yard. I live in a very walkable neighborhood with a dog park and trails within walking distance. I recently put my senior doggo down and have had her since she was 8 weeks old. My home has been pup safe and approved for over 13 years. When taking care of your pet I will respect any crate/leash needs as well as any nutrition concerns you have. I would love to spoil your little one like they were my own and make them feel a home away from home feel. Nothing but wags, pets, and happy puppers.

About: I love spending time with animals, whether that's an energetic dog looking for adventure or a cat who just wants some good company. I'll treat your home with care and respect while I'm caring for your pet. I bring 35 years of hands-on experience with my own cats, dogs, and horses, so I know how animals think and what makes them feel safe and happy. I grew up with dogs and have had 3 of my own as an adult. I have had 3 kitties of my own and have helped care for many others. For dogs, expect my full attention: walks, playtime, and if your pup has energy to spare, I love taking adventurous dogs out for hikes or even a trail run. For cats, I'm just as happy to slow down — feeding, litter box care, and plenty of quality time so they never feel alone while you're away. Cats have my heart just as much as dogs do! If you want someone active, experienced, and genuinely excited to spend time with your pet, I'd love to help! Dogs and cats are a huge part of my everyday life! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so hanging with the kitty or walking the dogs a couple of times a day is a natural (and favorite) part of my routine. Whenever I'm in your home, I treat your pets like my own — lots of hugs, affection, and real one-on-one attention, not just a quick in-and-out visit. For dogs, that means walks or hikes to help them burn off energy, followed by some relaxed downtime. For cats, it's feeding, litter box care, and plenty of cuddle time or play so they feel just as loved and cared for.

About: I have been an animal lover as long as I can remember. Being so, I’ve volunteered with taking care of cats, dogs, and even farm animals the last 10 years of my life. I have taken care of animals with many different needs through out this journey, ranging from raising puppies to taking care of senior pups needing multiple medications a day and special attention. I began housing regularly the past 6 years around the holidays as I’m local to the area. Taking on jobs not only included doing spontaneous weekend trips but up to a month stays as well! I work Wednesday through Sunday 8-4 at Walking Mountains with the ability to run home for lunch if local to the avon area. I like to stick around on the weekends ,hike around and would love to take your pet along! I do not have the ability to take on pets in my own home as I have multiple roommates who are allergic. Given I have worked with many different families, being mindful and respectful of the rules and flow in someone’s home is very important to me. I value making my clients feel safe to leave a member of their family in my care and make clear communication of expectations my priority.

“Allison is so nice and friendly and my dog Annie loves her!”

“Brandy took our dog for a walk on short notice. She communicated very well and sent photos and updates. We would absolutely use her again.”

About: My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own, giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring and responsible hands. I have experience dog sitting for friends, family, and clients, caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work Evenings most days in the summer, working at a server in a restaurant, so mornings/daytime are available for me. In the winter, I work as a Soccer Coach and Substitute teacher, and am enrolling in school to get my Bachelors in Education. I will have a varied schedule but find time to always meet my clients needs both throughout the day. I always look to keep a clean environment in my clients’ spaces. My motto is to leave them better than I found it. This also includes your pets needs and happiness. I pride myself on reliable communication and trustworthiness with respect to both parties time. I hope to leave my clients with the feeling that they can leave for the evening, or week, knowing their pets will be loved, understood, and taken care of, as if they were there themselves.

“Hunter was Great. Out dogs (who can be a bit particular) warmed up to him instantly and they were fast friends by the end of the day. I highly recommend him.”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring pet sitter who treats every animal like they’re part of my own little family. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or a full-time couch potato, I take the time to understand their personality and routines so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I take pet care seriously and always: - Follow your instructions closely - Send regular updates and photos - Keep your pet’s environment clean and comfortable - Prioritize safety, patience, and kindness Your pet’s comfort and happiness come first—and my goal is for you to travel with total peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day rather than only before or after work hours. I’m able to plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, medication schedules, and check-ins, and I enjoy building those moments into my routine. Because I’m home most of the time, pets aren’t left alone for long stretches and can stick to a familiar, low-stress schedule. I make sure each pet gets both companionship and quiet downtime, depending on their needs. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routines, preferences, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your instructions exactly to keep your pet’s routine consistent. I make sure doors, gates, and litter areas are secure, and I always double-check locks and safety measures. I treat every home and pet with care and responsibility, just as I would my own. Across all services, I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing, and I prioritize clear communication, patience, and reliability.

“Karen, you are the best! Thank you!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of different ages and personalities . Friends and families have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide reliable care for their pets. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play! I have dog sit/ cat sit for 3 years now in the valley and absolutely love it! I’ve cared for dogs and cats in clients’ homes many times. I always clean up after myself, follow your pet’s normal routine, and make sure they feel loved and comfortable until you’re back.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have two dogs and two cats of my own, so caring for pets is a huge part of my everyday life. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, boundaries, and way of communicating, and I take the time to make sure each pet feels comfortable and safe with me. I’ve also worked closely with professional dog trainers with my own dogs, which has given me experience with training techniques, reinforcing good behaviors, maintaining consistency with commands, and understanding canine body language. I’m very attentive to the signals animals give and am comfortable adjusting my approach. Animals tend to warm up to me quickly, and I genuinely love building trust with them. Whether your pet wants lots of playtime and attention or prefers someone who will patiently let them come around at their own pace, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Most importantly, I’ll care for your pets with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. My schedule is currently wide open, as I am searching for a full time job. I am excited to be able to pet sit in the mean time :) I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I'm attentive to body language and will always respect each pet's individual boundaries and personality. I'm happy to follow your normal feeding, walking, training, and medication routines so your pet has as much consistency as possible while you're away. I'll also be sure to send as many pictures as possible, because I also enjoy receiving those!

About: Helping care for pets is especially meaningful to me because my own pets are an extension of who I am. From outdoor adventures to cozy cuddles, I treat every furry friend like family and love keeping owners updated along the way. My dogs get walked twice a day and let out midday, we would rather be outside. I usually get out earlier in the morning due to the heat! I manage dogs in my home and in others’ homes with a balance of freedom, structure, and respect. In my own space, dogs have free range with a few furniture boundaries, constant access to fresh water, and regular bathroom breaks. When caring for pets in another home, I strictly follow all homeowner rules and routines to ensure pets feel comfortable and consistency is maintained.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a very young age and I’ve always had one or multiple in my family!! Now I have my puppy named Figgy and we’re both ready to make some new friends and create fun memories with them!! Coming the off season I have a lot more free time, I’m always off in the mornings and my boyfriend is always home in the afternoon so it works out perfectly for having a happy and always accompanied pet :) I try to be as careful as I can to follow a pets routine wether that be in my house or theirs. I think it’s all built from respect and trust.

About: Hello! I was in the service industry for over 25 years, and developed lots of allergies…so I am now the Barktender! I own my own business, offering cleaning, petsitting and other services my commUNITY may need. Very rewarding! Love my life! I am using Rover to fill in the few gaps I have, hopefully outside my home area, to travel more. The winters are getting too long for me, after being in the mountains for almost 20 years. I have been apprenticing under a dog trainer for several years and about to venture on my own! I have experience with some livestock and eager for more experience! I have a thirst for knowledge and learn quickly. I love animals and do my best to treat all the animals as my own. I own my own business and try to schedule jobs to accommodate to your pets needs. I do cleaning, yard work etc on the side and my schedule is very flexible. I can not have pets in my home. This is why I started the business. I love animals and hard to find pet friendly places in the mountains! Your pets are my priority!

“Hannah is super reliable, communicative, and kind with our kitties. She clearly loves animals. We are grateful to have her help us out when we're away.”
