“I definitely recommend! They were amazing with my pup and so accommodating, watched him at short notice. They cared for our dog like their own and we got lots of videos and pictures. They made us feel comfortable. My dog came back happy and pooped out from all the fun!”


“Melissa was wonderful caring for our puppy Ollie. Ollie settled in quickly at Melissa’s house and loved being with her! Melissa sent us pictures of Ollie and kept us informed of how Ollie was doing. You can tell that Melissa loves dogs and Ollie adored her too. We felt comfortable leaving Ollie with Melissa while we were on a trip. Would highly recommend Melissa! Thank you Melissa!!!”


“Barbi is a great dog sitter, treated our dogs as if they were hers. She’s kind and took care of all our dogs’ needs. She has a big back yard with high fencing. Dogs are safe and plenty of room to roam. AAAAA+”

“Jessica was so kind and wonderful! She responded very quickly when I had questions or wanted updates on our boys while we were away. They both seemed happy when we picked them up and energetic. Would definitely book with her again.”

About: I have had dogs since I was a kid and I couldn’t imagine life without them! I have helped family members, friends and neighbors care for their dogs over the years. I enjoy walking and playing with our dog and will include your sweet baby in our family walks and play! My backyard is safe and secure and has plenty of room for dogs to play and run! I have a doggie door and have found that dogs figure out how to use it with ease, if they don’t have one at their home. My grandchildren are here periodically and are also dog lovers! I’m currently working part time, 3 days per week, 4 hours per day. My dog and I walk about 3 miles, most days. The rest of the day is spent with her following me around and helping me with my chores, even help me go potty!!! I have a fully fenced yard with room to play. I currently have 1 dog, she’s a silver lab and is about 9 years old. She’s a good girl, most of the time! My dog gets dog treats on our walks and throughout the day. She currently eats twice per day, 6 am and 5:30 pm. We are able to adjust schedules for your dog, if necessary.
About: Not only have I had many fur babies over the years, I have a very special place in my heart for them. Throughout the years, I have also cared for other people's fur babies. I currently work full time with set hours. I can easily accommodate to morning and evenings schedules, including weekends. There isn't much in a schedule I couldn't accommodate. I have a privacy fencedbyard with lots of room to run. It is a very safe area to have dogs in and close proximity to the library for walking.
About: I would love to care for your pets. I offer a friendly,safe, and loving home. I will play with and give plenty of love and attention. I'm retired so I have plenty time to care for your babies. Any day of the week. Overnights or only daycare. My home or yours. At this time I don't have a pet. I lost my dog a while back. I don't have a fenced yard. I do have a large gated deck where your pet can go out and relax.
“Brooke was very flexible with her schedule when I had to adjust my trip. She met me at the house, introduced herself and animals. She was very responsive to all my questions and replied to my txt quickly. She does not have a fenced yard, but took Eyota for walks so he could get his exercise. I received pictures and Eyota had a great time while there meeting new pup friends. Highly recommend.”

About: Your dogs will be treated like my children, 3 acres of secure fence to play, puppy & senior care. For your convenience, pick up and delivery available if needed. I am a retired "home body". Your dogs will be cared for and watched over at all times. They are welcome inside and outside, with my removable doggie door, they are allowed on furniture and in bed too! My dogs are my children, and yours will be smothered in love while they are here too! I have a removable doggie door if needed, if not, I am home for tailored potty breaks as needed. You schedule your designated feeding times.
About: Our family had dogs since I was a young boy; I've had many since then. I've also trained them. We also had fish, hamsters, birds, reptiles and lizards as pets. Some 15 years ago, one of my dogs went blind... I cared for him for 10 yrs after that until he passed away. He never left my side. A few years ago, I got another dog but she died of cancer last year. At the moment, I don't have a dog (she died) but I have 5 cats. I do rather well with both and my cats are quite used to dogs. I used to live on a ranch where we raised Arabians; I was responsible for feeding & caring as many as 18 horses. When I was younger, I rode often and played polo. My father passed 10 yrs ago and his wife sold our ranch. I am available to feed horses provided that I'm paid the time it takes to travel back and forth. I am available for cat/dog sitting & feeding. If you need dog boarding, please let me know if you pet gets along with cats. I work from home, so I am a home quite a bit. I also have a flexible schedule, and this can be accomodated to work around certain issues or conflicts. Please contact me with any questions, concerns, or comments. I have a large (unfenced) yard, but I am willing to take your pet on walks in my neighborhood, as needed. I live one block away from a park. I am home quite often, so your pet will rarely be left alone. I am available for drop-ins, visits, or even overnights.
“Jonathan is by far one of the best taking care of Lexie and Sweetie. They got home with good energies and happy which means they had a good stay. Jonathan always responds every question which gives you peace of mind. Thanks for caring of my babies!!”

About: Currently, only taking overnight guests (boarding in my home) on a case-by-case basis. Please ask. I have a new rescue puppy who is very shy. I have been around pets all my life. I've looked after my own and friends' and family's animals specifically cats and dogs. I will give lots of time, personalized attention, walks and love to your pet while you are away. I offer in-home pet sitting in my home in town, or in your home depending on your location. This personalized and individualized care compared to boarding or kenneling seems to be preferable for happy pets and owners. I'm fully retired and while I enjoy the outdoors -- hiking and walking, camping and fishing, I also have plenty of time to devote to caring for pets whose owners are busy or away. My yard is fully fenced and conveniently located in the town of Westcliffe. If boarding, your pet would be allowed to treat our home like its own. If in your home (within a reasonable distance), scheduled visits will meet your specific requirements such as play time, short walks and feeding schedules.
About: During college I volunteered at animal shelter, realizing how much I adored dogs and cats! I learned how to support senior dogs, puppies, administer meds, and help dogs with trauma. I ended up adopting my soul dog from there and she was with us for 10 plus years. She was on meds for the last 2 years of her life! We recently lost our German Shepard after 11 years, so our house is happy to support your babies. I am a stay at home mom, so I have the ability to love your pet all day! I run, so can take your pet for jogs. We have a great dog run backyard area, with a doggy door so your pet has access to potty too! I’ve watched dogs for friends for years, and our dog Thor would love some company! I am a stay at home mom, to our toddler, and my husband works from home! We have all day to help support your pups needs, and we don’t leave the house too often. We walk Thor, our dog, 2-3 times a day, and he has access to go outside whenever he’d like. We have a fenced dog run, back yard, a doggy door, and minimal stairs. We have plenty of space up and downstairs if the dog wants a break or likes to decompress! We both work from home, and when we leave our dog, we want them to be loved and safe so we want to provide that environment for you.
About: I've been around animals my whole life, while I'm only 24 years old, growing up on a farm and my mom taking me on animal control calls I learned everything there is to know about every animal you can think of. Since I turned 15 I started working in an entirely animal dominated field, from grooming salons to boarding kennels to rescue shelters. I've learned even more than I thought possible on animal behaviors and personalities. There isn't an animal I don't adore, from dogs and cats to reptiles and fish I strive to give each and every animal the same love and care I would to a family member. I am currently working from home, so I have all the time in the world for your fur baby. There wouldn't be a time in the day where they are locked away by themselves, I enjoy spending as much time as possible getting to know animals and their personalities. I have a partially fenced in large backyard with plenty of room to play and run as they please. I never leave an animal outside by themselves, so they would never have the chance to get into anything they shouldn't or wander too far from home. I always have fresh water outside and a sliding glass door I keep open whenever the weather allows, there wouldn't be a time in the day where your animal is kept from enjoying the outdoors.
