Dog Boarding in Cotopaxi, CO

“Dana is as kind hearted and trust-worthy as they come. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any of the services she offers. Her communication is prompt and efficient, and her demeanor is friendly. My dog loves her. After he’s been with her, he is sweet and happy, zero stress. That means so much to us. Dana, we appreciate you and your beautiful family! Thank you!”

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.

“Was a last minute dog sitting and Makayla made sure my pup would have her own space to warm up in and send me lord of updates ! I will definitely be back”

“Tyler and Savanna watched Ozzie for me while I had to travel out of town for work. Can’t speak more highly of them and the amount of confidence they built over the week. They sent frequent updates and pictures and honestly I think Oz was a bit sad to leave. They will be first on my list for any future stays.”

“Fiona was an excellent sitter, was nice to see the photos of them content and happy at her home! Communication was excellent, highly recommend and will use her services again! Thank you for caring about my furry family!”

Cassandra C.

“Julia was absolutely wonderful and was able to be flexible at a moments notice. Maren came home happy and we will definitely be using Julia’s services again!”

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: 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: TBH: Your dog might have a better river day than you will! Our "pup camp" is 4 acres on the little Arkansas river. We play ball, swim and take long walks while you're out trying to keep up with your dogs adventurous lifestyle. We know leaving your pup is stressful and you want attentive SAFE care for them. Your dog will be my priority when they are here. Patience and snuggles abound! I work at home and try not to leave the house when your dog is here (If I leave, I notify you or take your dog with me). My little dog, Olive is a lovely hostess. She's calm for anxious dogs and shows them when it's time to play or nap. Please Note: Here are the dog personalities that DON'T fit for us: -I do not take aggressive or resource guarding dogs since I have a small "snack size" furbaby in my home and just can't take the chance at a bite. -FULLY housebroken dogs are welcome! If your dog marks territory we cannot host - If your dog is going to boast about what a great day they had and that wounds your ego, we're probably not the host for you.... ! I work from home and am semi retired. We go for daily 40 min walks and have play and nap time. If I go out during the day, I'll let you know ahead of time and it's typically 60 min or less. I have a 6 ft fenced yard with dog door. My home is at the end of a quiet cul de sac on 4 acres of riverfront so there is plenty of space to explore. We are close to Spartan trails just up the road. I offer flexible transfer times so you can enjoy your adventures without pick up anxiety!

“Vanessa and her family were so great with Ripley! Vanessa was very flexible with the pick up and drop off times (thank you!!) and sent photos and updates!”

“Stephanie is great! She is super responsive and kept me up to date on how my dog was doing. She also did a meet and greet before the stay to make sure that our dogs were friendly with each other which I really appreciated!”

Andrew M.

“Aime was extremely attentive to and took great care of my dog! She was extremely communicative and I'd be more than happy to book with her again”

Yates M.

“Jon took incredible care of Max - he is communicative and kind and attentive to Max’s needs. Bruno is also adorable and an easy going buddy to lounge around with Max.”

About: Hi there! You can trust that your furry companions will be in great hands with me. I have extensive experience caring for cats and dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from small to large breeds, and playful to more independent individuals. As a cat and dog parent myself, I know just how important your pets' happiness is and will make their well-being my top priority! I am currently working part time (remotely) and have a flexible schedule for pet sitting and/or walking. Whether you are hitting the slopes for the day or taking an extended trip, I'd love to look after your pet! During overnight stays, I understand the importance of routines for many pets and will make every effort to maintain their regular schedule to keep them comfortable and stress-free.

“Molly has kept our dog, Ella, a couple of times for the day but this time was the first overnight visit. When we came back to pick Ella up, she was relaxed and happy and very comfortable staying with Molly. We will definitely use Molly again. She gives excellent care to our sweet dog. (We tipped her at her home when we picked up Ella!). Thanks, Molly.”

About: I am an avid animal lover, and have an especially soft spot in my heart for dogs. I have helped my family in training service and seeing eye dogs since I was young. I decided to join Rover after losing my parent's golden retriever, Fuzzy, who lives in Boulder. Fuzzy was trained to be a seeing eye dog, but she failed for being too lovable. She did well in her new career as a therapy dog, where we got to visit nursing homes and hospitals so she can be pet and meet people. I am a software developer and work from home, so I am around all day during the week and can stop frequently to walk or care for your dog. I am also glad to take your pup on runs if they need to get a little extra energy out. I have a large fenced yard and one other friendly beagle to keep you dog company. We make sure to walk at least twice a day around the neighborhood during the work day in addition to being able to romp in the back yard whenever they want.

“Sarah was great! She helped cate for our pup during our wedding. She was so accommodating to our crazy timeline and needs. She kept us updated on how he was doing the entire time and was a great fit for our needs! We will definitely use her again if we are in the area.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs most of my life and my dog Zephyr and I are looking forward to taking care of your special furry friend too. Zephyr is a Goldendoodle and gets along well with other dogs of all sizes and ages, he also understands when another dog wants to be left alone. I work from home and have plenty of free time for play. Zephyr and I take regular trips to the park, the river or lake, and hiking. My home has a secure fenced yard and his privacy fenced in the back. It also has a nice grassy area in the front. That’s great for playing and relaxing.
