Dog Boarding in Crested Butte

“Tuck had the best time with Salle Ann! She treated and took care of him as if he was her own and he was a tired and happy dog when we picked him up! Would recommend to anyone looking to board their dog!!”

“This was our 2nd (yearly trip to Colorado via motor home) occasion to use Elle's dog service & we love her !! Our goldendoodle (who's a handful) & Lab both remembered her with wagging tails ?”

About: Hi, I’m Ashley! 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pets like family. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages — from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can give plenty of time for walks, play, and snuggles. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy pup, sticking to a specific feeding/medication routine, or just giving your pet some extra love while you’re away, I make sure their needs come first. When your pet is with me, you’ll get updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and cared for. I’d love to meet your furry friend and make them feel at home while you’re away! 🐶🐱 Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I enjoy morning walks, midday play breaks, and calm evening snuggles. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my routine because I structure my day around their needs, ensuring they always feel safe, loved, and cared for. I prioritize safety by following each pet parent’s instructions carefully, from feeding routines to exercise needs. In my home or a client’s home, I create a secure and calm environment where pets can relax. I build trust with consistent care, patience, and affection, and always keep communication open with updates and photos.

About: It doesn’t matter if it’s dogs, chickens, horses, or kids, all feel comfortable and drawn to me. As a parent and animal lover and experienced caregiver, I bring my maturity, reliability, and professionalism to every client and am adaptable to special needs and circumstances. I am fortunate to spend much of my days outdoors and happily travel between Paonia, Crested Butte and Gunnison. Animals in my care receive dedicated attention and ample exercise. In my home, I will offer multiple walks, hikes, or runs per day. While in your home, I can accommodate crate training, walks, and hikes- or any special needs or care instructions.

“Kasey was amazing watching Cooper over the weekend! And she went the extra mile to store a few bags while I went backpacking. Highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and love all animals. A lot of my friends and family have cats and I have also cared for them too. I love caring for all animals of all ages. I work 4 days out of the week until 5pm but am available otherwise or for overnight stays if needed. I thought working around that may work. I always let the animals come to me to ensure they feel safe and let them sniff me to get to know me. Then going from there I cook some for my senior dog so I am able to offer any special food needs or potty needs since all pets are different. I know animal cpr (learned just in case I also am trained in human cpr). I am very patient with all animals since they are all different and special.

“Angelo is our go to! Our dog loves hanging out with him and enjoys his sunny porch and walks!”

“They are amazing dog sitters and the reason we could enjoy the great hikes in Aspen. Lucky had a great time with them. Thank you so much for accommodating our schedules.”

“Laurie and her family were absolutely wonderful! I could tell that my husky Rocky felt right at home and was treated well when I picked him up. He got lots of exercise and attention, and was definitely a satisfied pup when I picked him up. I highly recommend Laurie and her family for taking care of your dog!”

Katherine B.

“Michael and Emily helped us immensely with a last minute dog sitting request for our two dogs! Both dogs enjoyed the fenced in yard and all the love they got while at their house. They came home tired & happy. We will definitely ask them to watch our pups again in the future!”

About: I have lots of experience (9+ years) working at pet stores and caring for my own pets! I have housed puppies in the past and walked dogs as a side job. . I have a very active Australian Sheppard whom I've had since she was 7 weeks. I'm also very active so higher energy dogs are a great match! If you'd like I can take them into the mountains with me for a big hike! Feel free to contact me so we can talk about your dogs needs and maybe meet beforehand! Currently working part time so I'm available for your pups! And I hike with my dog every day anyway. So let's get out and play! Like I said. I can take them out for playtime with my dog or their own solo time hiking. Or we can just hang out on the couch and cuddle!

“Allie took great care of our puppy, Ozzie, while we were gone for a week. I was nervous about leaving him for the first time, but she provided updates/photos and responded almost immediately when I sent her a message. I would definitely trust her to watch Ozzie again in the future! Thanks so much, Allie! ”

“Great communication. Sends updates and pictures throughout the day. Overall good experience”

“Marieta helped watch my dog very last minute when my other dog sitter canceled. She was very responsive, took Lola for walks and sent pictures and videos, which was really nice.”

J D.

“Lauren was absolutely amazing with my dog Kai. She took him in with open arms for a 2 week stay, and in addition to taking care of him made sure he had a great time, taking him on hikes and all kinds of adventures. She kept in constant contact, with daily picture & message updates, even though we had a significant time difference. Incredibly grateful for Lauren !”

Alex S.

“Carol, and her pup Banjo, were great hosts to my little pup! Carol really goes above and beyond to make sure it’s a safe, comfortable, fun stay! I felt good leaving my pup with her for a couple days and he seemed to really settle right in and enjoy himself. Thank you!”

Terry A.

“Hope was great! We left our greyhound with her while on a hiking trip and everything was fantastic! Very attentive to our dogs individual needs and sent us frequent updates. I’d trust Hope with our dog again any time we are in the area.”

Reilly C.

“Stoked to have a great sitter in our neighborhood. She was communicative, including sending pics, and took great care of our dog. We were all comfortable with her from the first visit. we will definitely book again.”

About: I grew up with dogs throughout life and just rescued my first about a year and a half ago, it takes work and lots of love and patience with the help of a community whether it be fostering or just giving advice with everyday little things. I currently work part time and would love to fill the rest of my time for dog walking, sitting, etc. It brings joy to me and whomever I can help out when they don’t have the time with our busy summer. I currently live in a 1 bedroom, so for the most part would probably be dog walking, sitting, or at home visits. Flexible with my schedule and for dogs needs.
