“Chase was awesome! The boys loved him and he left my yard better than what he found it. He sent photos and videos of the boys. If I was staying in Colorado I would book with him again.”

About: I dedicated almost a year of my life to Ducky's Grooming, where I excelled in bathing dogs, maintaining cleanliness, and sanitizing all areas. My expertise extends to walking dogs of any age and providing basic dog training. I'm currently available for afternoons and evenings mostly, but can do mornings on Tuesdays and Fridays. I love walking and exercising 7 days a week, especially with a pup companion. Whenever your pet is outside they will have my full attention, I know how rowdy pets can get and love getting on the floor to wrestle and wear them out. I will do everything in my power to keep your pet safe. Rest assured that when your pet is outside, they will receive my undivided attention. I understand the energy levels of pets and enjoy engaging with them on the floor, ensuring they get the physical activity they need. Keeping your pet safe is my top priority, and I will spare no effort in doing so.
About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats all my life. Along with caring for my own animals I have had friends, neighbors, and coworkers trust me to care for theirs while they have been out of town or worked long hours. I love every animal like they are my own. I have trained my own dogs from young pups to include house-breaking, safe socialization, and obeying simple commands. I am also a registered nurse so you can trust I can take on any requested medical needs of your pet as well. Pet care is part of my daily routine, as I have a dog of my own. Also, I am currently taking a break from my usual career in healthcare/ nursing, so my schedule is extremely flexible to care for others' pets as well. I adjust styles of pet care based off owner preference. I like to stick with what the owner does, to not break the animal's routine while the owner is away. I can guarantee your dog will get plenty of attention and exercise! My dog, Sierra, is well behaved and well socialized, and will make a wonderful playmate for other dogs of varying temperaments.
“Jason was amazing! My dogs are so tired from all the fun they had with Jason and Juniper over the weekend and I think they are actually a little depressed that they are gone. I felt very comfortable with him taking care of my dogs and hone plus he was very communicative the entire time we were gone. If you’re lucky enough for Jason to be in your town ABSOLUTELY book him to take care of your fur babies!”
About: I have personally owned dogs as long as I can remember. From Rottweilers to Chihuahuas. I have dog sat numerous times, between boarding at my house and house sitting at a client’s home. I’m a true dog-lover at heart. I love dogs in all shapes and sizes. They are the most loving and most loyal. They really are better than most people! Lol. I have a sweet, energetic, laid-back, one and a half year old mini poodle. I also have a 3 year old hedgehog, but since he’s nocturnal and likes to keep to himself, pets don’t interact with him. He’s caged in my room and will be out of the way. I also have experience in taking care of senior dogs including: administering meds, feeding picky eaters, helping with potty breaks, helping with walks, etc. I have personally trained all of the dogs that I have owned. I have lots of puppy experience and don’t believe in “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” as I have also trained older dogs that I have rescued. I currently work from home and I am usually off by late afternoon/early evening. I can be home with your baby. We can play and take as many potty breaks as needed. I also don’t work on the weekends and like to fill my weekends up with fun activities! I have a fenced in backyard and a safe neighborhood to go on walks. Your doggo would have complete freedom of the house (as long as I’m home, of course). Doggies are allowed on the furniture and allowed to sleep with me. If they are crate trained, of course that’s okay too.
“Melissa did a wonderful job sitting our busy body border collie! Came home to a content and happy puppy and a clean home. Look forward to asking Melissa for help when we go on our next adventure.”
“All I can say is 'Wow'! Jamie is wonderful and went above and beyond. We came home to happy, calm puppies. During our time away, Jamie gave us a daily status that allowed us to really enjoy our time away. Thank you, Jamie!”
About: I have cared for many animals over the years, and always treat them as if they were my own. I strive to make your animals feel comfortable and loved while you’re away! I am currently a full-time student, so I am unavailable some days of the week. However, I am available to sit most days of the week! I do not offer services out of my home due to having other animals, but I’m more than happy to care for your dogs just as you would if you were home!
“Brooke was an amazing buddy to Gizmo during our touristy visit to Cañon City! She put me totally at ease throughout the process with fast communication and was happy to hang with Giz in our motel room while we were out. He was very happy, relaxed, and clearly thrilled with her calm dog-person demeanor. Brooke really went the extra mile and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets most of life, mainly cats and dogs. I’ve taken care of a few horses and other reptiles as well. Your pet will be well loved and taken care of. I work days now Sat-Wed so my schedule is a bit full in the mornings. I can do mainly evening drop ins and early morning. I can also do boarding as well. I’m able to host up to 2 dogs from the same house and I do have a fenced in front yard. I am able to keep them separate from my own if they don’t get along with other pets and my cat stays in a separate part of the house.
“Fiona was great! She was available last minute after another sitter ghosted us. She was communicative, kind, and left our home clean and animals well cared for. She did a great job sending updates and pictures and we felt very confident and comfortable having her stay in our home. We would use her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Fiona!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very little with my first beagle Buddy! I often cat sit for family members as well! I would be glad to care for yours! I’m currently unemployed awaiting a new job to start! My schedule is completely open and I would love to spend some time with your pets:) I am very comfortable around all pets and can care for yours as needed. My dog at home is very friendly. I will have to care for your animals in your home.
About: I’ve had pets since I was 5 years old, and have been apart of their care since. We’ve had dogs, cattle, and a horse. I’ve also helped my friends attend to their cats for the past 5 years. I’ve trained all of my animals, three of the six since they were around 8 weeks old. I have immense patients for all ages and sizes! I know how to handle medications since I’ve dealt with two medical needs dogs. As well as I’m understanding of the senior ages, potty training, and litter boxes! I have full availability right now! Giving me full availability for all walking and drop-in visits, night-sitting at your home, as well as cat-sitting too! While in your home, you can trust that I maintain cleanliness and timely care for your pet(s)! I can adhere to any medication, training, kennel, bathing, or cleaning instructions. I do inspect and look for any messes left, and clean completely. I ensure the pet has full enrichment to make sure they’re wore out once I leave! As well as I love to take silly and cute photos of your pets!
“We couldn't have left our pets, and our home, in better hands! We had a good feeling when Samantha stopped by for a meet n greet and our Molly took to her immediately. She's normally very shy and standoffish at first so it was particularly remarkable that she had no hesitation with Samantha at all. While we were gone Samantha kept us updated with daily reports and photos of our babies. When we arrived home (hours later than agreed, due to airline delays), the house was spotless and the animals were all happy & healthy. From now on, whenever we need house/pet sitting services she will be our first choice!”
“Natalio did a great job watching my house and my old Labrador! He was dependable, took care of her meds, a couple walks a day, stayed with her so her separation anxiety wouldn’t set in and was very good at communicating! I highly recommend him!”
About: I have owned dogs cats and horses for over 20 years! I volunteered at a therapeutic animal ranch for 4 years and enjoy being around all animals. I love jogging and walking, and anything outdoors. I am able to administer medication and care for senior animals as well. I currently work part time however my schedule allows for a lot of flexibility as I am able to pick up and drop shifts. I am willing to travel as well. I have 3 acres of fully fenced yard where your babies can run and play. Pets are allowed and encouraged to sleep on the bed!
About: First off, I'd like to say I love animals, especially dogs. I would be excited for the opportunity to hang out with your dog! While in my care, you can expect lots of exercise like runs and hikes! I grew up with a black lab named Toby, and a cat named Roger. Unfortunately, when I came to CO, I couldn't bring them with me, because they were the family pets. So, Rover gives me the opportunity to hang out and care for animals which is super exciting. I am flexible with every aspect of caring for your pet. I love animals, and I have extensive experience caring for them. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog! By day, I am a Park Ranger, and my schedule can be flexible! I will have plenty of time to visit with your pup and get them the exercise and outside time they deserve! My apartment has a large dog park adjacent to it. I also live a block from the Green Mountain Open Space Trailhead, so easy access to trails!
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 and my dad is a professional dog trainer so I’ve had a bunch of experience with dogs and puppies. I’ve had from small dogs to quite large and often I would pet sit for my parents when they’d need to go on trips. I want to be a dog trainer and care taker as a professional career once I earn enough money to go to school for it. I’m very flexible with days and time. About to help my dad with the new litter of German shepherds he’s breeding this fall. So anything from care to training I can take care of and I’m okay with changing plans as long as it’s a couple days before. Thank you for you time!

Her genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does, and I can always count on her to go above and beyond.
