House Sitting in Crested Butte

About: I have taken care of pets since I moved back to CO and love to get back to helping out families and their pets too. I am currently working part time. My job allows breaks to run home if need be and if not dogs are welcome at my work place. I don’t have a yard but love walking or going to the park. I am willing to stay at a client’s home as well too.

“Mariah was a wonderful sitter! She was able to spend most of the three days completely with Maile, which was very important to me. She kept me updated on how Maile was doing, the walks they were taking and I felt very comfortable having Mariah stay in my home. She now walks Maile 3 days a week! Maile and I are happy to have Mariah as part of our family. I highly recommend her and will have her stay again when I need a sitter for my baby girl.”

“She was amazing! Sent us pictures and great at updating us on our old large breed dog that has trouble getting around! I was so worried about him initially but they did wonderful together. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Blake, a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breed. I am located in Lakewood/Golden area, highway 6 and the mountains! I work from home and enjoy running, biking and hiking. * Flexible pick up and drop off times * Small travel fee if requesting pick up and drop off * Daily exercise * Full attention to active puppies * Older pups that may need medication * Clear and reliable communication * pictures sent daily! I work from home, making it possible to take strolls to the park near my house throughout the day or taking a restful nap under my desk. Our fully fenced backyard keeps your pups safe and will always monitor how they interact in their environment. Whether your dog needs a calm, easy walk or a fast-paced run, I tailor every outing to match their needs. I offer dependable drop-in visits, attentive dog sitting, and safe, enjoyable walks. I don’t have my own dog, so that could be a benefit for some situations. My house has a larger gated backyard located in golden/lakewood. You can count on me to treat your furry family member like my own—with respect, kindness, and consistency. Flexible schedule, available on weekends. Available for longer terms stays with advanced notice. I’m available for overnight stays and longer term stays as needed. I have experience watching dogs and cats. If you have an athletic or active dog, I am the hosts for you!!! Trips to parks (on and off leash), running the trails, and swimming in a Lake will happen. If your dog is less active, I can bring the activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable.

“Katherine is the best!!! She did so great with our pup! I recommend 💯!!”

“Shelby was great!!! My dogs were very happy to be with her. I loved that she had no issues giving my dogs their medications. She is easy to get in touch with and was so considerate while staying in my home. I can't wait to have her watch my dogs again.”

About: Hi, Im Piper! I have worked in the pet industry almost my entire life. I began pet sitting along side my mom as a child, and in high-school worked as a pet sitter professionally, starting at my parents company and then working at 2 different boarding/day care facilities before moving on to college where I studied to become a dog trainer. I am a certified professional dog trainer and I have worked professionally in the training industry since 2014. I am knowledgeable and experienced with all dog breeds, and dogs with specialized needs or behavior issues (fearful dogs, reactive dogs, and aggressive dogs.) I live full-time on the road in my camper van and I provide high-quality in-home house sitting, I can care for behaviorally challenging dogs, special needs dogs, and complicated multi-dog households. My 3 dogs live with me in my van but do not have to join your household unless approved. My qualifications: • CPDT-KA Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed • ABCDT Animal Behavior College Certified Trainer • AKC Canine Good Citizen and Star Puppy Evaluator • APDT Professional Member • Pet Professional Guild Member • Pet CPR and first aid Certified • More than 16 years of hands-on experience I live full-time on the road in a van, and my availability can be variable with travel so advanced bookings are best. When staying in your home for pet care, I will be there full-time with the exception of leaving during the day for activities, or for my work as a dog trainer which is only a few hours at a time. I know how important safety and trust is in the pet industry. Our dogs mean the world to us, and I take every procaution to keep pets in my care happy and healthy. My professional experience has given me a huge knowledge of red flags and things to keep an eye out for with our dogs, whether it’s preventing heatstroke in the winter, protecting paw pads, or keeping your dog safe in the snow I am always keeping a watchful eye and staying proactive with preventing any issues.

About: Growing up on a horse farm, I have experience working with a variety of animals. I love to walk and hike, your dog will be well taken care of. I have experience house sitting high end homes as well and always leave homes cleaner than I found them. I have lived in the roaring fork valley for 8 years and know the hiking trails up and down the valley. I am self employed with ample flexibility for dog walking and house sitting. I have an office space for myself that is dog friendly and can bring your pet along my entire day. I always communicate thoroughly with homeowners about expectations before a house stay or dog walking gig. I leave homes better than I found them and thoroughly clean every place. Communication is key and I like to be in touch throughout the stay. My sisters dog had epilepsy so I am well antiquated with medications and emergency situations with dogs.

“Excellent experience with Willa; I recommend her for all your pet needs! Our cat was comfortable and happy with her, and we felt at ease on our long trip. She was available for chat, updates, and video calls and quickly responded. Willa also cared for our olive trees, was around for apartment maintenance visits from our building management, and took care of the apartment in general. She was lovely to talk to and made us feel good and safe about our cats' well-being and the property. We could travel worry-free, knowing our cat and possessions were in great hands. Thank you Willa!”

About: Hello fur families! My name is Celine and I have been a huge animal lover and rescuer since I was a child. I grew up with many fur babies including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds etc. you may notice there is a wolf in my profile photos so that’s a small example of my love for all animals ❤️ I have experience with dogs of all sizes (including 100 lbs or more), temperaments including leash reactive, and needs. I also have experience with disabled or dogs in need of medication after losing my senior pup to terminal illness after 11 years together. I would love to connect, caring for your pets brings me much joy after the passing of my own fur baby. I love to give your pets snuggles and I allow them on my bed if they are staying at my place. I also am very active so I love to take long walks! I am more than happy to accommodate last minute needs or requests! Please do not hesitate to reach out as I am very responsive on my phone and very flexible. Currently living in Mt. Crested Butte, may be taking time off for the summer and able to travel to other mountain towns through August & September! I take safety & comfort really seriously so one of my favorite things to do is send pet parents picture updates of their happy pups in my care if that is something their pet parent will enjoy!

About: I grew up on a cattle ranch raising all types of animals: hereford cattle, dairy cows, horses, suffolk sheep, dogs & puppies, cats & kittens, rabbits, and chickens. I'm comfortable caring for all types of pets. I'm working from home and set my own hours and schedule for getting my work/projects done. I am fortunate to have that flexibility right now and daily am out walking, hiking, or biking. I would be delighted to take your pet with me for plenty of sniffs and exercise! We are replacing and expanding our fence right now, it will be completed by the end of August. My husband may join me and your pet when his schedule allows. Regardless, I'm able to be physically present for your pet during the entirety of the time you need me to be. I am completely focused on your pet alone and only allow one pet at a time so they have individually focused caretaking and love!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life. I have always owned “scary breeds” and volunteered for the humane society. I also used to work as a kennel/vet tech at a veterinarian office. I’m excited to meet your fur babies and they will be very well taken care of. Im currently working part time in town. I have a car and will be able to leave to take exceptional care of any animal I'm charged with caring for. I have dog toys/bowls at my house but if you prefer to be in your home, I am ok with that too. I live near the river so walks to the river and around my neighborhood are constant.

“Rebecca was incredible! She accepted a last-minute request to stay for a long weekend with Lola, and I am so grateful that she did. Rebecca is a great communicator and made sure Lola was comfortable and happy all weekend. I would highly recommend Rebecca for your pet and house-sitting needs.”

About: I have had pets all my life. Dogs will be taken outside for long walks as appropriate for their level of health. Lots of belly rubs and love will be given. I work from my home office and will get your dog out for long hikes or walks 2x daily or as they need according to their age and health. I have a fenced yard. I do have two dogs that are well socialized. Your pet will be taken outside every 2-4 hours and I am home most of the rest of the day with them. If I do leave it is for less than 3 hours at a time. I have a fenced yard and two dogs to keep your pet company. I limit my boarding dogs to 2. I get dogs out to run on or off leash as you require. Belly rubs included.

About: I absolutely love spending time and playing with dogs. I have 2 dogs at home in Chicago and I adore them. We go on walks, play catch/fetch outside, go on hikes, and spend lots of time outside. Since I have moved here I am missing so much dog time and would absolutely love the opportunity to meet and spoil your dog in the best ways. I have dog sat and house sat for many people who continue to ask me to dog and house sit when they need it. I am currently employed by a wilderness therapy program where my schedule is 8 days on 6 days off and would love nothing more than to spend time with dogs on my off shift! No matter the age, I am happy to dog sit! I have a 14 year old dog and a 2 year old dog at home, so I have experience with both older dogs and younger dogs.
