About: I am a recent graduate from Colorado State University majoring in Animal Sciences and minoring in Zoology. During my time completing my undergrad I have had many opportunities taking care of dogs and cats for clients up in Northern Colorado. I am very detail oriented and attentive to my care for your fur babies. I also am known to be a great dog walker and have had some experience handling medication for cats and dogs. I’m currently going through vet tech school at Pima Community College! This semester is all online which allows me to be a bit more flexible with my schedule :) I am at your service and can be flexible with schedules throughout the week with communication! I have reliable transportation that’ll allow me to visit homes and check up on your animals during the day! Currently I am not doing any boarding in my home.

About: I absolutely love dogs! Growing up, I always had dogs around me, whether they were my own or dogs I was taking care of for others. Those are some of my favorite memories! Dogs bring so much love and happiness into a home, and the bond and friendships we create with them are truly something special. They really do make a house feel like a home! 🐾 My routines normally are calm and quiet. Pet care fits perfectly since I am at home during the week and normally weekends just spending time with my family! I am a very attentive person, I am very aware and cautious of the needs of our pets. I overthink any possibility or possible situation in order to keep them safe!

“Parker took excellent care of Baloo during drop-in visits. He did a great job of following my list of pretty extensive instructions, and spent extra time keeping my anxious boy company. I received daily photos of a happy dog! I will not hesitate to book with Parker and Alysa again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was in elementary school. I grew up with golden retriever, golden doodles and border collies on our farm. Now I have my own golden retriever and bernedoodle that are my best companions. We love to go on long walks and travel to all the state and national parks! I’m happy to take dog walking clients on weekends and holidays. I work Monday through Thursday otherwise normal business hours in the clinic from 7-5. I love playing fetch with the pups and cuddle time. I like to do basic training such as sit, stay, roll over, lay down. My bernedoodle is high energy so I’m used to exercising dogs and taking long walks.

About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs & cats, with a special place in my heart for anxious, senior, and routine-dependent pets. I know how important it is to have a sitter who is patient, observant, reliable, and willing to follow your pet’s normal routine closely. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, caring for senior pets, reinforcing basic commands, and adapting walks, play, and enrichment to each animal’s energy level and personality. I especially enjoy working with pets who need a little extra time to feel comfortable with someone new. I’m happy to schedule a meet & greet beforehand so we can go over routines, medications, quirks, triggers, and anything else that will help your pet feel safe while you’re away. You can also expect consistent communication, plenty of photos, and detailed updates throughout the stay. My schedule allows me to provide plenty of dedicated time for walks, meals, play, enrichment, and companionship. I keep my Rover calendar updated so my availability is accurate, and I’m always upfront about any periods when I’ll need to be away from your pet. I’m happy to work around established feeding, medication, potty, and exercise routines whenever possible. You can also expect regular photo updates throughout your booking. Your pet’s safety and routine come first. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, walking guidelines, household rules, and any precautions you provide. I also want to know about escape behaviors, reactivity, resource guarding, allergies, medical concerns, and emergency contacts before a stay. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as familiar and low-stress as possible while you’re away.

About: I have had cats in my home my entire life, as well as rabbits, tortoises, bearded dragons, parrots, and more. I do my due diligence to research into animal care on a regular basis, and I am well-informed on different animal behaviours. In my late teens, I worked in a couple pet stores; This both helped provide me with a wider background on animal care, but also helped to develop my research skills and ethical decision-making in pet care. I am a full-time online student, so I am just about always home and engaged with my own pets. I will always treat your pet(s) as if they were my own, and provide plenty them with plenty of love! I am a full-time online student, so I am just about always home and engaged with my own pets. Fitting pet care into my schedule is no problem whatsoever! In your home and in my own, I aim to ensure your pets are comfortable. I do my best to take note of your pet's body language, and will approach in a manner that fits the comfort level of said pet. My first order of business is always to greet the pet(s) briefly. Then, I do the basic tasks (food, water, litter, etc.), and after that I like to sit close by and engage with the pet if they'll allow. I ensure safety by double checking windows, locks, doors, and taking head counts of the pets. I like being able to provide owners with photos of their fur babies to reassure the pets are well-cared for.

“Ilene was so sweet with my senior dog! She was really easy to schedule with and reliable. I highly recommend her, she really cares about the animals she works with.”
