Dog Walking Battlement Mesa

About: I grew up on a farm taking care of animals is nothing new to me. I have always loved animals and I have 3 dogs of my own that would vouch for me that I’m a great dog mom.😄 I work part time as a dental hygienist and when I’m not working I’m with my 3 dogs spoiling them. I love animals and love to help others so I thought rover would be perfect! My dogs are more like my children they are my babies I couldn’t imagine my life without them. Growing up on a farm I took care of all sorts of animals and loved them all. I am a trustworthy and reliable person.

About: I strive to treat everyone's furbabies with the highest level of care as if they're my own. I've cared for every age of dog and cat for...really my whole life. I can administer medications and keep an eye on and assist more "special needs" furbabies if needed. I am a Biology major and try to learn as much as I can to care for animals the best I possibly can. I am currently working on animal first aid but I do know human FA so I can spot an emergency and care for minor wounds. I am currently working as needed at my job but, even then, my days are really open. I do have medical appointments here and there so sometimes I just need to leave the house for those but I try to return to the house expeditiously because I dont want the animals to be alone for too long. I understand not leaving dogs (especially) for too long between potty breaks so I can work around that but I try to stay at the house for 95+ percent of the time I am sitting. I purposely work around the animal's schedule so that they can be as comfortable and cared for as possible. I try to get as much information from the owner as possible so that I can make the time as similar to when the owner is around. I know changes can be stressful so avoiding any as much as possible is the best. I am known to be a cuddler but if they want their space I can definitely give it. I can give outside time to the best of my abilities and can transport in my own car with great safety if needed (e.g. if they love lake play, etc.). For younger animals, I can give regular care and make sure the space stays clean and cared for as best as possible. I understand that they need more supervision and help. I also try my best to keep an eye on outdoor heavy animals and shy animals to make sure theyre doing alright during my stay as well.

“We have 2 older dogs, and Morgan was great with them! We had her come to our house 3 times a day to care for them. She left us daily updates on text, and would respond promptly if we would reach out. She really put our mind at ease, and our dogs loved her.”

About: I have loved dogs of all shapes, age, and sizes for as long as i can remember. Even as a kid, I was someone people trusted to look afte their dogs. These days, I'm a dog mom to Eily, my six-year old Labrador, and I still love to know each dog's little quirks, from the toys they always reach for to their favorite treat or spot to curl up. I'll welcome just one or two guest dogs at a time to daycare and sleepovers, so your pup has plenty of attention and time to feel at home. I'll stick to their normal routine and make time for whatever makes them happy, whethe it is a game of fetch, a walk or hike with lots of sniffying, or a nap nearby. We are active so they can join for longer hiking adventures or join on daily errands in the car, if interested. And, I'll send photo updates so you can see how your furry family member is settling in. I work full-time from home and sometimes need to go to the office with flexibility on time and schedule. I am able to take several short walks, vist the nearby park or take a longer hike during the day and am available nights to snuggle and play. Your pup will have a pet-friendly home to relax in and a fenced-in backyard to sniff, explore, and play under my supervision. I welcome just one or two guest dogs at a time, so each pup gets individual attention and has a quiet spot to curl up when they need a break. I like to start with a meet-and-greet so your dog can get to know me and my Labrador, Eily, at their own pace. I’ll ask about their usual routine, any allergies or sensitivities, and what helps them feel at home. During their stay, I’ll follow your instructions for meals, potty breaks, and bedtime, and send photo updates so you can see how they’re settling in.

“Stacy did an awesome job with my two heelers. She stopped by my house on the times that I asked her to, made sure my pups had enough water and food, and made sure they got their exercise. Stacy was a great communicator and gave me updates with pictures of my pups. I will definitely recommend her to others and will be using her services again in the future.”

About: I am based in Carbondale, CO. I am currently pet/house sitting full time throughout the summer and fall so I'm able to provide a high level of care for pets and homes throughout the valley! UPCOMING HOLIDAY AVAILABILITY: Inquire about Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. I have limited availability for the right fit. I will be part-time ski instructing at Snowmass this winter so I still have a high level of availability throughout Dec-Apr as well. I've cared for my own dogs, roommates' dogs, friends' pets, Trusted Housesitter stays, and Rover sits over the past 10 years. I've cared for dogs from puppyhood to 13 years old. I've also cat-sat for friends, Trusted Housesitters, and Rover clients over the years. I'm more than happy to take them on walks, hikes, to dog parks, and out for potty/play breaks throughout the day. The longest I've watched someone's pet was for 2 months, and I loved it! I'm also happy to take them camping if that's their jam. Feel free to reach out with any other questions! A note on transportation - I have a truck camper (converted from a former ambulance) as my main vehicle. If there is any concern of me parking it on your property for house sitting or other services, let me know and I can park it elsewhere. It is reliable, 4WD and does super well on winter roads, so if you're up a dirt road, I have no concerns about being able to get there. If you have any questions about it, don't hesitate to ask! I currently am full time pet sitting for the summer and fall. I am very attentive and love morning, midday, and evening outings for fetch, dog park hangs, hikes, and walks. I can be available throughout the day full-time. After December, I will be part-time ski instructing for Snowmass. I am still available for all the same services but will need to be gone for a longer portion of the day if I'm working that day. I don't anticipate that it would be longer than 6-8hrs depending on how far away the sit is. A note on boarding - this is if you need overnight care for your pet or pets at MY home. House sitting is overnight care at your home or accomodations, sometimes I know that gets a little confusing. I much prefer house sitting in your home as I find that pets are much more happy in their own familiar environment with the all their comforts that they're accustomed to. If you need boarding outside of your home I can discuss a couple of options with you depending on the temperment of your pet and the length of the request. I will always be up front and transparent if I'm able to accommodate the request. I am very respectful and clean when staying at a client's house. I treat it like my own (if not better). I love going for walks with your pup and keeping them on a leash unless otherwise instructed. I also don't give in to the cute puppy eyes when I'm eating my food and keep them to their parents' approved food and treats. I always make sure we are on the same page about your needs and expectations and that I am 100% available and able to commit. Because of this, I have never cancelled on a client after a booking is confirmed.
