“Suzanne was so great; very accommodating of our high energy dog. Our dog was happy as ever when we picked her up and you can tell Suzanne has a real love of animals. Would definitely recommend to anyone, especially if they need just a day care visit while they check out the beautiful area!”


“Haley is amazing! She went above and beyond for us and Koda. It is such a blessing to know that my baby was well taken care of while we played around in Glennwood. I can't thank her enough.”


About: We have had dogs our entire life, we love them. We recently lost our German Shepherd of 14 years and are looking to get some fur baby energy in our lives. We know how hard it can be to find reliable people you can trust to watch your baby. We have boarded numerous dogs in our home in the past and are looking to give your animals love and attention while you are away. We are experienced with all types of dogs. Big, small, young and old. Our house does not have any stairs which is great for older pups! We also live right across the street from many great trails. Dogs rule the house at our house. We often find ourselves sitting on the floor while the dogs are on the couch. We always joked our German Shepherd was more spoiled than our children. The only downside is your dog may not want to come home! I work from home and my husband owns his own business. We have two little kids (10 & 5) that are also great with animals. We have lots of flexibility. I hike, walk or exercise everyday. We have a small, fenced yard and a dog door, which can also be locked if needed. We live around the corner from a park and across the street from numerous trails. Animals can roam free or be crated in while at our house.

“Alex was wonderful with our pups, they had a great time and he was conveniently located in downtown Glenwood which was the perfect place to leave them while we did a non dog friendly hike during the warm hours of the day. He’s very communicative and we will definitely be seeing if he’s available next time we’re in town.”


“Pinar is great and easy to communicate with! Zoe had lots of fun with her. She kept us updated with their activities all throughout. Also appreciate she took Zoe in last minute with our request :) thanks again Pinar! Hope to see you again soon.”


“Teresa was THE BEST!! Seriously would trust her with my baby, she did such a wonderful job. She spent the entire day with my sweet boy one on one so my husband and I could check out Glenwood Springs. She took great care of him and spent lots of time with him. She fed him his lunch and even took him out for a stroll on the river walk. Teresa is a delightful person and an excellent doggy day care mom.”


“Megan was great and we were relaxed leaving our fur baby with her. Communication was clear and smooth, and our dog was in a great mood when we picked him up, seems like he had a good time 😊”


“Lu came through in the clutch! We were on a road trip and realized last minute that we couldn’t take Marni on our hike because dogs aren’t permitted on the trail, and Lu saved the day. Lu was super communicative, professional, and clearly comfortable with dogs. Marni had a great time visiting Lu’s pack :)”


About: I care for each pet with full attention, kindness and respect. I offer gentle care, fun walks and calm connection. Every pet is unique and I do my best to make them feel safe and happy I would love to care for pets as my main job, so I’m happy to help any day of the week. My schedule is flexible and I’m easy to reach. I make sure pets feel at home — whether I’m caring for them in your space or mine. I offer close supervision, gentle handling, and follow their usual schedule. I don’t have a fenced yard, so I only allow outdoor time on leash and under watch.

“Nicole was amazing! Took such good care of my 5 month old puppy - taking her out on walks and giving her lots of playtime with her own dog, Eli. If I’m back in the area, I’ll definitely reach out to Nicole again.”


About: I’m here to help keep pups happy and healthy and in good company. I have a young dog named Bogey who can be a part of our walks (or not, if preferred). I work from home, and schedule around meetings to help with the occasional walk! I’m happy help get them out of the house and exercised. When walking dogs I keep them on leash and in less busy areas to build trust… we can build from there. I’d love to bring my dog on walks but won’t rush into an uncomfortable situation for the sake of it.

About: Hello fellow animal lovers! ****out of town July 1st-July 16th*** My name is Melissa and I have a history of taking care of dogs, cats, horses and other animals. I’ve voluneered at dog shelters muiltple times. I grew up with dogs and rabbits. I have a dog named Ulysses. He is a German shorthair pointer. Your animal will have my full attention and affection. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Hope I can help ! I work at a restaurant in Aspen 3-4 days a week. Usually only a 6-hour shift. Tuesday’s, Wednesdays, and Thursday nights are my fixed schedule but may change. My boyfriend Scott works during the day so he's at home at night while I'm at work. So, there will always be me or Scott at home with your dog and ours. I live in a 2br 2bath apartment with a small patio. The dog parks close by as well as lots of places to walk around town. I take my own dog Ulysses to Crown mtn park, Basalt mtn, or up by Sopris at least once a day. The Rio Grande trail is right by my place as well.

About: While I am based out of Golden, I work remotely so I'm able to care for pets and homes anywhere throughout the state! I've taken care of dogs of my own, roommates dogs, friends' pets, and Rover sits over the past 10 years. I've taken care of dogs between puppy age and 13 years old. I've also cat sat for friends over the years. I currently live in an apartment so I unfortunately can't board any at my home. However I'm happy to watch them from the comfort of their home. My schedule is really flexible with my remote job and I'm happy to take them on walks and potty/play breaks throughout the day. The longest I've watched someone's pet was for 2 months and I loved it! Feel free to reach out with any other questions! I'm currently in between jobs. I am able to be very attentive and love to take morning walks, midday walks or fetch, and evening walks. I can take them to the dog park or on hikes or if they're good with bikes, I can take them on even longer run/bike rides. I am very respectful and clean when staying at a clients house. I treat it like my own (if not better). I love to go for walks with your pup and keep them on leash. I also don't give in on the cute puppy eyes when I'm eating my food and keep them to their parents approved food and treats.

“Darby was the best! We dropped our miniature Australian shepherd there three days in a row while we went skiing at Snowmass. Her condo was a super convenient walk from our place and a cozy home for our pup! I really appreciated how she took Millie out to play multiple times per day and sent ton of picture updates. We would definitely use Darby again if/when we come back.”

She gets along great with other dogs, cats, kids and pretty much anyone. I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible during the day. I usually let my pup out around 8 am then feed her and let her out again around lunch. After 5pm I try to take her on a hike or dog park a couple times a week.

In clients home I’m happy to hang out with the pets, take them out, feed them, play with them, etc. I’m not currently taking care of pets in my home because of my apartment’s restrictions.
