Dog Sitting Castle Rock

About: I’ve always loved animals and truly enjoy dog walking! I grew up with many animals including dogs, fish, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, and even frogs! I know how much they mean to their families. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and provide them with the love, care, and attention they deserve. My goal is to make every visit a fun, safe, and positive experience for your pet! I am a dance choreographer/teacher, so I work in the evenings. Perfect for people who work throughout the day and want someone to let their doggie get some fresh air. I just want to be able to hang out with as many doggies as I can! I am very responsible and fast to react in sticky situations. Your animals safety and well-being is always my first priority in any job! I will not only love your animal, but provide the services needed with 110% effort!

“Simply THE best! I hope we are never forced to use anyone else. Halle thinks of everything before I do and is so reliable! She makes me feel so good about leaving our dog with her.”

About: I am a lifetime pet owner, and pet lover. I have experience with both dogs and cats. I'm available to be your fur-baby’s drop-in grandmother. I am a local retired elementary teacher. I continue to serve the Castle Rock/Larkspur/Franktown community by substitute teaching, tutoring, house cleaning, and pet sitting. I live nearby, and my daily schedule is adjusted to meet the needs of my clients. My visits begin with a calm, friendly greeting, followed by playtime, cuddles, and ear or belly scritches. I will feed and give meds as needed. I will walk your pet, or play in the yard. I can also bring in the mail/packages, or water plants or do other simple quick tasks if you need me to. I can give you photo updates, or a text. I will check the environment to make sure that your pet is safe before I leave.

“Great drop-in visit for my cat! Super easy to schedule and great communication!”

“Was so nervous leaving my pup alone. Thanks to Ciara she made that nervousness go away! My pup loved her and we are so grateful for all she did!”

About: I grew up with a Standard Poodle that I had for 12.5 years and was responsible for taking care of her from when she was a puppy to a senior dog. I dog sat my neighbor's Yorkie while they were away for a couple days at their house. While I was living at the Olympic training center, I took care of her leader dog for a week, so I have experience taking care of service dogs. I also dog sat about 5-6 people's dogs on the Trusted House Sitter platform for time periods of up to 2 weeks. Finally, I will be dog sitting my Dietetic's preceptor's 14-year-old Chihuahua and cat for about 2 weeks, so I will also have experience cat sitting. Pet care such as staying at the owner's house, dog sitting, visiting the house to let dogs out, and also going for walks fits very well into my daily schedule since I'm a full-time online Dietetics student. I'm also currently doing some nutrition coaching online. Furthermore, I'm an elite cyclist who goes on training rides, but I'm still able to take dogs on walks and hikes depending on their needs. I care for pets in client's homes since I make sure to take care of pets as if they are my own. I like to follow the each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding and walking schedules, medications (if needed), and any other special instructions. I also make sure to provide exercise and play time for dogs, making sure pets always have access to clean, fresh water, and sending photos and text updates to pet owners so they can have peace of mind while they are away. Beyond pets, I like to keep organized and clean while I'm staying at someone else's house and my goal is to leave it cleaner than when I left. If you have plants, I'm also willing to water them while you are away as well!

“Riley was terrific with our 2 chihuahuas. Typically it takes them a few days to warm up to someone new but they were snuggling with her the first day. She watched them for 17 days and they were happy and well cared for the whole time. I would trust her with our 2 girls anytime.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had dogs and a cat in the house, so caring for pets isn't just something I do — it's something I genuinely love. That foundation gave me an early appreciation for how much patience, attention, and affection animals need to truly thrive. Over the past several years, I've built hands-on experience pet sitting for my four brothers, all of whom have dogs. Through them, I've cared for a wide variety of breeds and sizes — from a 9-week-old German Shepherd/Husky mix puppy who needed constant supervision and socialization, all the way to a laid-back 9-year-old Black Lab who just wanted belly rubs and a steady routine. Every dog is different, and I've learned to read and adapt to each one's personality and needs. Beyond family, I've also cared for friends' dogs, including a one-year-old puppy for a full week and a weekend with a pair of adult Huskies — a breed known for being energetic, vocal, and strong-willed. I handled it with a smile. One thing that sets me apart: I work from home. That means no long hours where your pup is left alone wondering when someone's coming back. I'm there all day, every day — for walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet company on the couch. Because I travel frequently, I haven't gotten a dog of my own — but that just means I pour all that love into the pets I care for. When your pet is with me, they're not just being watched. They're being genuinely enjoyed. I'd be honored to be someone you trust with your furry family member while you're away. I work from home full time. I will be available 80-90% of the time to sit and cuddle, walk, or feed your pets while in our care. I love dogs, but since I travel frequently I haven't gotten one of our own yet, so we pour all our love into the animals we board or sit! I have a two-story single-family home. I am on a corner lot, so our backyard is a great size, and all fenced in! There are also have several walking trails and a park within walking distance to take the dogs. No other pets will be here while your dog/s are here with us. I have hardwood floors throughout the home with carpet in the bedrooms and basement. Dogs are welcome on our furniture with me!

“Reagan was great a asked super last might and was super responsive, and really great with my puppy”

“We love having Kevin and Lisa drop in on our cat while we are away! They are so great about playing with him, taking cute photos, and keeping us updated on how he’s doing.”

“Cami took great care of my cat Ziggy while I was away. She was very thorough in check ins and I’ll definitely utilize her again for pet sitting!”

About: I have always taken care of animals and absolutely adore them ! You will not have to worry about your babies while they are with me! I am retired so any job will fit into my routine! The pets will be my priority ! I will comfort them if their parents are away ! I will rather watch animals in clients home! I will stick to the fur babies routine and will give them plenty of love and affection!

About: I have grown up with 3 different dogs of very different personalities. Learning how to train them, care for them, and groom them was a large responsibility of mine. When I was around 9, I started caring for neighborhood pets. For several families I have continuously been an overnight caregiver, and for many additional families I have been a regular dog walker. These jobs have given me all kinds of experience with many different kinds of animals. Whether it’s a 150lb of pure muscle machine or an anxious ankle-biter, I strive to love them in the best way possible! My schedule is very flexible and this service brings me so much joy- no matter the time or place! I am passionate about every kind of animal— big or small, rowdy or tame, scaly or fluffy— I want to make sure that they are in the best hands! For this summer, I am only working free-lance/part-time jobs! In the summer and winter I am in Castle Rock, CO, and then during the school year I am in Waco, Texas. For care in a clients home, I will check in as frequently as possible and as often as the client requests. I will spend intentional time being present with the animals and be careful and aware of every need. In my home, the pets will have a gated backyard to play in, a thousand toys, and a kennel available if the clients desire. We have one dog at home who is incredibly friendly, but can also be separated or in a different area if needed.

About: I have taken care of many dogs out of pure interest and love for all dogs. I love to exercise, and enjoy getting all the playful energy out of dogs so they are worn out by the end of the day. I am very experienced with all sizes of dogs and breeds! I currently work a part time job, but I often work 4-5 hour shifts, leaving most of the day free for me to pet sit. I am committed to quality work that fulfills both my interest in dogs as well as the duties that may be involved. I have three rowdy dogs, so I know how to handle a chaotic environment. I understand the difference between a dog that is angry versus one that is just excited, and I’m here to share the love with them, rowdy or not.

About: Whether your pup or cat loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for companionship and cuddles, I'm here to make their day special! My mission is to make tails wag and bring extra love into your pet's day. I take pride in building trusting, loving relationships with every pet and providing the same attentive, dedicated care that I would give to my own. I've cared for my own four-legged family members for as long as I can remember. Through caring for pets of all ages, volunteering with local humane societies, and gaining experience in professional puppy training, I've developed the knowledge and skills needed to provide safe, personalized care for both dogs and cats. I am committed to giving you and your pet the best possible experience, tailored to their unique needs. I know how treasured your furry friends are, and I will care for them as if they were my own. I am currently working full time; however, I have guaranteed Mondays and Tuesdays available at any hour to care for your pet. My schedule changes weekly from Wednesday through Sunday, which allows me to be highly adaptable to your pet care needs. I am very flexible and able to work around your schedule during my work week. I would love the opportunity to have your fur baby as part of my everyday schedule. Due to my experience in pet care, I feel confident in my ability to create a safe environment for your pet. With my knowledge of behavior cues, reading body language, and attentiveness to my surroundings, I can recognize and respond appropriately during my interactions with your pet to ensure safety and build trust between you and your pet.

About: I spend my days providing hospice care at Pepper's Senior Dog Sanctuary, so I know how precious every moment with your pup is. With 6 years of experience including daycare management, dog training, and medical care (CPR, first aid, and triage). I'm equipped to handle puppies, seniors, and pups with diabetes or epilepsy and many more conditions. I use only positive reinforcement and treat every dog like family. My availability: Open Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays; Thursdays after 12 PM. (I work 12-hour shifts Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, so I'm unavailable those days unless you need late night or early morning care) I have my own pride and joy, Stubby Chubby, who keeps me company on my days off, but he prefers to be the only dog, so I don't offer in-home services. Instead, I'll come to you and treat your home like it's my own (but better, because I'll leave it cleaner than I found it!). Your dog's safety, comfort, and joy are my top priority. Have questions? Feel free to reach out about my schedule, experience, care approach, or anything else I'm happy to chat and make sure we're the perfect fit for your pup! I work 12-hour shifts 3x a week at Pepper's Senior Dog Sanctuary, but I'm blessed with a 3-day weekend and a short Thursday shift—leaving me open Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursday afternoons to care for your pup with the same dedication I give my seniors. At Pepper's, I administer medications to 20+ dogs every week, pills, eye drops, insulin shots, you name it. I'm no stranger to meds. The pups there receive around the clock care, meals, and love, and I work alongside a vet team daily with training in emergencies, first aid, CPR, and behavioral challenges. At home, my own medically compromised pup, Stubby Chubby, keeps me on my toes too so the care doesn't stop when I clock out. What I do is hard work, but I love every minute of it and wouldn't ask to be doing anything else.

“Mackenzie was easy to communicate with and showed up right on time. She was confident in handling my 3 active dogs. I will use Mackenzie again!”

About: I have been a teacher for the past 12 years and need a break from kiddos but still want to nurture! I have 2 dogs of my own who are my loves. I am an older, reliable woman with 3 grown kids. Simply need a purpose and pets to enjoy! I am a teacher who is burned out from teaching. Looking to do something that lifts my soul! I live in castle Rock and am free for the summer! Let me help you. My hubby and I have 2 dogs who are our loves! I am a middle aged woman who is simply looking for peace and helping others has always been a part of my life. I can help and you can feel at peace while you are away.

About: IMPORTANT NOTE: I am a teacher, so I work from 7am to 4pm. I’ve been dog sitting for many years, caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personality types. Whether it's a dog walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, my main goals are simple: keep your pet happy, give them plenty of love, and make sure they get great exercise! As a school teacher, I have a very predictable routine that works wonderfully for pet care! My schedule makes it super easy to take on dog walks and drop-in visits before school (5:00 AM – 6:30 AM) and after school (4:00 PM or later). My availability opens up significantly during school breaks and throughout the summer! I always ask owners for detailed notes on food restrictions, meds, routines, and house rules so I can provide the exact care your pet is used to. I also build my schedule entirely around your pet’s needs—if they’ve been home alone during the day, I make sure to spend my evenings right there with them. (Bonus: I’m always happy to bring in the mail or care for your houseplants while you're away!) I look forward to giving your dog the best experience possible! Important Safety Note: I have a severe nut allergy! I am more than happy to give your pup any nut-free treats, snacks, or medicine pockets you provide. Please just let me know in advance if your dog uses peanut butter or nut-based treats so we can use a safe alternative while I’m caring for them. Since I am a school teacher, my schedule is pretty consistent for morning, afternoon and evening care. In the morning (5:00-6:30 am) I love to get the day started by moving my body, dropping in to get the dogs fed, and making sure they're set up for success before my day begins. In the afternoon and evenings (4:00 pm onwards) I like to destress the day by making sure pets are getting exercise and time outside. I dedicate my time to extra activities, such as pet care. I aim to ensure that your pets receive focused attention, exercise, and companionship while their parents are away. On weekends and school breaks, I am more flexible to do longer walks, drop-ins, and housesitting/dog sitting appointments. I am also more available to do midday appointments. I prefer to stay at the client's home for ease of care and pet emotions. While in the home, I abide by the client's rules/desires listed before leaving. I also make sure to stick to their normal schedule as closely as possible. While staying at the house, I will happily take care of trash/recycling, mail, and house plants. Unless permission was granted beforehand, I don't let anyone into your home and enjoy the alone time with dogs.
