“Shelby was great and very communicative with us the whole time! Our dogs love companionship and affection and you could tell they got it from Shelby. In fact, they kept going back to her room to look for her after she had left! Thank you for the great service!”

“Claire watched our pups for a day while we visited ouray. We were able to go for a long hike, enjoy orvis hot springs and have a meal without worrying about our senior girl and our 8 month old puppy. She was sweet with them and I would absolutely book her again if we are in town.”

About: Grew up with a black lab and a miniature dachshund. I work 24 hour shifts as a firefighter so on my days off I am fully available to take care of your pets! I'm excited to meet you and your pets. Our pets need the same thing we do; diet and exercise. I hope I can help your pets stay healthy while you are our busy with your day to day life. I am EMT certified and I am an active individual that enjoys getting exercise for myself and would love to share that with your pets. I love dogs as I grew up with two, but cats are growing on me. I'm excited to meet new friends and dog sit. I usually work 2 days on and 4 days off. So I am available when I am not working. Contact me and let me know what days you are in thinking. I will care for your home and your pets. Just let me know. what the routine is and I will slide in to the routine.

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.

“Faith is reliable and so great with our dog. She plays with him lots (and our dog can be high energy!) and we always know our dog is well cared for with her.”

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 have a large fenced yard and large deck that dogs love to explore! 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: 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 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 have taken care of neighborhood pets for years and house sat. I have had my cat for 11 years and my dog for 8. I have open availability and will be able to take care of pets at any time. I’m available for house sitting, potty breaks and walks. I treat my pets and others like family, I think at least one walk a day is very important for dogs and cats also deserve attention throughout the day.

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.

“Olivia is great! She is attentive and provides updates.”

“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: 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.

“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.”

“Sarah took care of our dog, Mesa, and our home as if they were her own. She is caring and conscientious. Lovely person.”

About: My partner and I have been working with animals since we were kids. Emily grew up on a farm and has raised all sorts of animals, including showing horses. My father is a veterinarian, so I grew up around animals and worked in the kennels while I was in school. We're comfortable dealing with various behavior quirks, giving medications, and we've always got vet advice on call if an emergency were to arrive. My partner and I work at the hospital, but we have slightly different shifts. There are usually only 1-2 days per week where one of us isn't home. When we are both at work, our shifts are staggered enough that we can get home every 4 hours, in addition to morning and evening walks. We are both extremely active people, so our dogs get multiple hours of walking/hiking every day when we're not working. We have an acre of land with two separate fenced-in yard sections, which gives us the ability to divide dogs of various sizes, or those who may be timid/hesitant around others. The lower level of our house has a separate entrance, so there's ample indoor space as well when the weather is too hot/cold to be outside. Pets will be indoors any time that we are not at the house to directly supervise. We walk our dogs multiple times per day, and have trail system access 50m from the house, so we're not reliant on just leaving dogs in the yard for outdoor stimulation.

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!

“Skylar did a great job taking care of our pooch and home while we were away. We were able to focus on our vacation instead of worrying about the pooch. They went on multiple walks and our girl seemed perfectly happy upon our return. I really appreciated the pictures she sent us throughoit our trip. Would definitely recommend her services!”
