Pet Sitting in Cañon City

“Chyna is wonderful, she is diligent, attentive and our cats seem to love her. We like her visit reports and pictures. She makes it much easier for us to travel knowing Jupiter and Strawberry are well taken care of.”

“Mikaela took wonderful care of my kitties, rooster and lizard while I was away. It was great peace of mind knowing they were being checked on daily. It was also nice having a record of what was done each day with pictures, along with a report of how everyone was. How fun seeing your pets through someone else's eyes. Makayla's descriptions cracked me up, the antics of all of them in their own way. She described my rooster as being sassy to her one day, I really did lol because that's a perfect description of him. Overall I am so incredibly pleased with my experience with Makayla. She is very likeable right from the start and easy to communicate with. Setting up an initial meeting was simple. She understood my instructions, had no problem asking for clarification if she didn't understand or forgot a detail. Everything was in order when I returned home. I'm happily pleased with the overall experience and would book with Makayla again. Thank you Makayla!!”

“Maila did a great job watching Willow during her drop in visits. She even offered to bring our mail in! She updated us through each visit, sent pictures, and made sure Willow was fully taken care of. We appreciated everything she did for our kitty!”

“Awesome! Took my pup for a nice long walk. Took very cute pics too. Thank you!”

“ I can testify that this young man is an absolute animal lover through and through. He is dependable (not a given these days for most people), extremely courteous and has a great work ethic. We have a senior dog and James is the 1st to offer to help, even when it means miserable times at the vets. He is not adverse to doing the tough things for pets,(including clean ups of accidents). will walk dogs, play with cats, ensure they are fed and watered and most importantly, loved. Enjoyment for him is being around animals. He is extremely loving and gentle, yet gets the jobs done. He is my most highly recommended pet sitter for anyone. Your pet will enjoy him as much as James will enjoy them!”

“Sam is wonderful! She used to watch our dog Joe who is a 70lb. black lab. She always gave him extra love and took him on at least two walks a day. Sam is trustworthy and dependable. She absolutely adores animals and we really wish she was still close by. We would highly recommend!”

“Lauren has watched my dogs multiple times. She has done a fantastic job. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to look after their dogs.”

“Elizabeth went above and beyond with my pup! She is patient and willing to work with you and your dog to fit your needs! I highly recommend utilizing her services!”

“Mark is very knowledgeable about dogs and dog mentality. He will be a great addition to your team! He has a very calming presence with animals and dogs in particular!”

About: Born to love and nurture animals and children. I’m an empty nester so this is a natural extension of who I am. Retired teacher of the little ones. Dogs and cats are my new babies. Stay at home gal. Empty nester. Little home on 20 acres. With a fenced in section. Retired from teaching. Now a writer. Every day with a new furry friend is a gift. Caring for your precious family is a privilege that I take seriously. Trust in the one who cares for your baby is priceless. Without it, worry and anxiety set in. I hope to set your mind at ease.

“Dani is amazing with all animals, including humans. I have worked with her as a volunteer in the animal field and use her as my personal sitter for my dogs and tortoise when my husband and I leave town. Her care and concern for your animals and home is far above standard and I am certain there is no one more capable, loving or trustworthy.”

“Megan is amazing! Very communicative and easy to work with. She is the epitome of professionalism and cares for her furry clients deeply! Will rebook as long as we can with her!”

About: I've owned many pets over my lifetime and have a fur baby of my own right now. I would be absolutely thrilled to be able to walk, take care of, and play with your pets! I am eager to go for long walks and play in the park or just hang out in the backyard. And most of all, I'll make sure your pets are safe with me (as that is the most important thing to any pet owner). I assure you that you can trust me in your home. If need be, I can provide references from past clients as I understand that allowing someone into your home can be a stressful task. Otherwise, I am happy to answer any further questions you might have of me. I'm currently a recent graduate looking to earn money while I wait for my job to start. My schedule is flexible, so I have much of the day to dedicate to taking care of pets. I can even do overnight stays or some weekend stays. For in-home care, I come prepared with treats and a poop-scooper for cleaning up little gifts. For trips to the park, my car has a doggy seatbelt that I can attach to their harness to prevent them from going anywhere in case of an accident. I also will come with a portable water bowl to ensure your pup stays hydrated.

“Nicole has been my go to sitter for about 6 months now, and takes amazing care of my dog while Im out of town! He gets plenty of playtime, walks, and attention, and I can rest easy knowing she knows what to do in case of an emergency. She always prioritizes making Zeus comfortable and happy when I'm gone.”

“To Whom it May Concern, I am writing this letter of sincere recommendation for Ms. Sadie I. Skolnekovich. I have known Sadie since the day she was born and she has loved and been loved by animals since this very day. She is a true and unconditional lover of animals and they seem to adore her equally. She learned to care for animals at a very early age and continues to draw many difficult and abused animals out of their past and into a bright future. She worked at the Mill Rescue in Colorado Springs for many months and with her natural calming and loving patience, was able to help many challenging and abused animals trust her and then to trust potential adopting families. Sadie worked also at the Humane Society in Canon City, CO and was loved by the staff and animals both. She will take tremendous care with any animals left in her care. She has 2 dogs and a kitty at home now who have been so well loved and cared for with such attention, I cannot imagine a more ideal home life for her animal family. She will be a loving and careful steward for any animal in her presence and care. Sincerely, Darla K. Skolnekovich”

About: Taking care of animals is and has been my daily life ever since I can remember. With my current two dogs, they’re both old men that need lots of personal care that I take upon myself to manage. I also have 3 elderly lady cats with one being 20 years old! The youngest is my most precious friend, Finn, who I raised from 6 weeks old found on the streets and is the one in my profile picture. I’ve also have volunteered for animal rescues in transporting animals and even helped local wildlife that’s gotten caught up in human affairs. Beyond personal experience, I am attending college with my major being animal health and behavior at Unity Environmental University. My college is online so it makes my schedule more flexible to help work with you on your fuzzy critter’s needs! Every morning I tend to the dogs by feeding them and letting them out into the back yard to do their business. One of my dogs is currently on a medication so I also give him that after he eats. We have an enclosed patio that I’ll put my cats out on so they can also get some sun and fresh air. Throughout the day I’ll keep an eye on the water dish due to it always being near empty with thirsty animals about. In the evening comes me feeding the dogs once more. For our most elderly lady cat, we give her a bit of soft food with her normal hard and this requires wrangling the other 3 into a different area because they’re more than willing to push her out of the way. Taking care of cat litter is par the course and we have multiple in the house for all our cats. Most important is to give lots of love and attention to all my pets. The youngest cat needs lots of attention due to him having a lot of energy for playing. All our pups and kitties have lots of toys and other enrichment toys. Greenies are a staple to help dental hygiene. I have a binder full of vet records to keep up on everyone’s vaccines. If a pet needs medication, I give that to them in the best way I can. This includes cats. Dog beds and areas the cats feel safe are important too. Aggression from either dog is not tolerated and there’s been a few times where things have gotten testy and I’ve wrestled dogs out of a fight regardless of my own wellbeing. All the stinky parts of pets I deal with on the regular so that’s no issue either. Sometimes even animals missing their owners may have accidents that is out of character for them. That’s okay. Things happen.
