House Sitting Downieville-Lawson-Dumont

About: I have three dogs of my own two of those being high energy. Additionally I spent some time in the veterinary field. My brother has had me dog sit for him on several occasions. I’m currently working extremely part time so I am available most mornings and afternoons. I am available most weekends as well and sometimes for overnight sits. I will take care of your fur babies as if they were my own. I love being outdoors so several walks per day is no issue.

“Eric was a wonderful house and pet sitter! Our dog, Willow, loved Eric and his dog Rufus. Eric took Willow on many hikes and left our house in pristine condition. We would definitely recommend Eric to anyone living or staying in Summit County! Thank you so much!”

About: I have been taking care of a large variety of dogs for 20 years. From eight weeks old to 16 years old, from pugs to chows and pitbulls to 140 pound malamutes I have cared for them all. I can come by to walk and feed your best friends once a day or stay and cook them meals as per your request. I want to make sure you and your loved ones are as comfortable as possible while you are away. I do freelance work so I have pretty open availability. Making sure you're needs are met so you are comfortable is my top priority. If for some reason I can't meet all of your needs I will tell you before committing to something that doesn't fit my schedule or abilities. I am here for you. How I care for your pets and home is mostly dependent on your requests. I give medicine, food and exercise as requested. I can simply fill a food bowl, measure servings and even cook protein and veggies for your dogs if that is what you want. I am happy to keep you updated or send you pictures if you'd like. Walks are as far/long/plentiful as requested. I want to provide you with the comfort of knowing someone is there to care for your loved one as you would while you are away.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was the age of 10. Dog breeds I have watched over Doberman Pinscher, German Shepard/Husky Mix, Labradoodles, English Labs, a mini-Aussiedoodle, 2 Dachshunds, a Maltese Shitzu mix, Greyhound mix, and a Novascotia Duck Toller. I grew up riding horses which provided me access being around dogs of all shapes and sizes, including Great Danes, Boxers, King Charles Spaniels, Corgis, Australian Shepards and standard poodles. When I lived with my cousin Pacey, her Labradoodle was practically my dog as we would go on hikes. I have completed 5 home stays in the last 5 years. As far west as Clear Creek County, and Littleton. Depending on the weather, I love taking the dogs out for walks during homestays. I am based out of Superior, CO, and would be willing travel for extended house stays as far as Aspen. More recently I have taken care of a two different cats on three separate occasions. I'm not entirely sure what their breeds were, but I think one was a beautiful grey british shorthair. I work in tech, so having strong wifi would be preferred as I work remote. Thus I am able to cater my schedule around that of the animals from which I am watching. I only take care of pets in their homes, as I am not able to host animals in my home due to allergies with my roommate.

About: I have had many dogs throughout my lifetime growing up, taken care of newly born pups, and mother while in process of giving birth. Have been given dogs to train and have trained and found loving home for them. Rescued a 3 week puppy almost dying, put him in healthy position, and found family after 3 months. Always been really patient with animals because they do not have a voice therefore we as human have to make sure we can communicate with them.

“Taylor was an excellent communicator while we were away. He provided consistent updates and was incredibly patient with our moody pup. I loved the photos that he sent during his stay, it was great to know that our pets were comfortable with him and thriving while we were gone.”

“We booked Skye at the last minute and she was great to work with. She was communicative and shared amazing photos of our animals and their adventures.”

About: Hi! I’m semi- retired, flexible and here to help! I am an experienced and dedicated dog owner with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of various breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them isn’t just something I do — it’s something I truly love. I have extensive experience with both large and small breeds, including strong, high-energy dogs and those who need a little extra patience and understanding. I’m confident handling everything from tiny companions to powerful working breeds, and I’m comfortable managing leash manners, reactivity, and high-drive personalities. Over the years, I’ve also worked alongside several professional trainers to develop improve upon training techniques and deepen my understanding of canine behavior. This has given me strong skills in structure, positive reinforcement, consistency, and reading body language — ensuring every dog in my care feels safe, understood, and supported. I currently have two dogs of my own who keep me on my toes! One required daily medication and eye drops for most of her life and is now blind, so I’m very experienced with administering medication, caring for special needs dogs, and providing the extra patience and environmental awareness they require. My other is a 90lb Rottweiler — a big, strong, lovable goofball — so I’m more than comfortable handling large, powerful breeds with confidence and control. Whether your dog needs structured walks, medication management, extra patience, or just lots of love and play, I provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize safety, routine, and plenty of affection. I’d love to meet your pup and provide them with a fun, safe, and caring experience! I’m currently semi retired so have flexibility to adapt to your dogs needs, routine and playtime! I love going for walks, helping with training, providing mental stimulation as well as exercise. My dogs are pretty “spoiled” according to my friends; they eat (home prepared meals) 3 times a day (not including treats) and get tons of attention. I’m happy to provide the same level of love, attentiveness and care to any and every dog I possibly can. 💜 I have a small fenced in yard and a comfortable cozy home. I do have two dogs but have the ability to keep mine separate if needed. If requesting home sitting services, I have done the same and fully understand the level of of trust, cleanliness and respect needed in these situations.

“Rebecca is a wonderful and extremely caring and diligent petsitter. I knew Marilyn was in great hands and Rebecca eased my mind every day with her level of care. I appreciate how well she looked after my old girl and would love to use her services again in the future!”

“Lilou did a very good job communicating with us and was patient when we didn’t get back to her on a question. The dogs were taken care of as well as the house. Appreciate her very much”

“Amy did a great job! My pets and house were in good condition when we got home. I got daily reports on how things were going.”

“Cheyanne was very flexible with scheduling and really helped us out. Both of our large breed dogs were very happy to spend time with her.”

“Sasha did a great job taking care of our four dogs, parrot, & home for a 15 day trip. It was the longest we have all been away at the same time. She communicated with us regularly and provided a lot of pictures. One of our dogs refuses to show himself with most sitters but Sasha was able to get him to go on walks. Our home was also in great shape, we could not have been happier with the experience.”

About: I have owned a dog my whole entire life All different makes and models. Last time we boarded our dogs they ended up getting kennel cough, and one of them almost died and I thought I could do better than that in my own home for other people to not have to go through that. Dogs love me and love going on walks and hikes with me and there will always be toys and treats. They will be stoked to go on the walk or stay at my house. I am new to Rover, but give me a chance and you’ll see that I will take great care of your furry loved ones. I typically work from noon until eight, but I dip out around four for a dog walk of my own. I also get 4 miles in every morning with my dog and yours is welcome to join. I can also have your dog at my house all day long. I have a fenced in backyard, but they are also welcome in my home as long as they are house trained. I also have crate on hand if that is better while they are inside. Plenty of toys, treats and long walks (or hikes if it’s ok)

“Aurelia was absolutely wonderful. We needed a last-minute house and dog sitter for our three dogs, and she stepped in without hesitation. From the start, communication was great, she sent so many photos annd updates and it was immediately clear that she genuinely cared about the dogs and treated them like her own. I wouldn't hesitate to book Aurelia again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. We're so grateful for her help!”

“Sarah did a fantastic job watching our two puppies for over 6 hours. She was prompt, quick to reply / give updates, and was a pleasure to work with. Our puppies loved her and we will book again!”

Taylor S.

“We had a last minute 5-day trip pop up, and fortunately Jamie responded quickly and scheduled a meeting. Sophie can be a little grumpy around new people, so we asked Jamie to bring her dog Copper which was the answer. Copper brought out the puppy in Sophie! Jamie shared videos of the two playing. The house was immaculate on our return and Sophie was friskier than usual. We might need to borrow Copper! Thank you for a great weekend. We will call Jamie for our next trip.”

Julie G.

“While away on vacation, Mitch did an incredible job of watching over our four dogs as well as our home. From our initial meet-and-greet, you can tell that dogs love him. Even our skittish Pippin and Remi responded to him almost immediately. We felt they were in great hands which gave us much comfort being out of the country and he communicated with us daily through texts and pictures. The house was spotless and well cared for when we returned. Thanks to his care, Mitch is now our "go to" sitter!”

Loni K.

“Bryan did a fantastic job pet sitting our two dogs and cat for an extended trip we took. The communication was excellent, and it was clear our animals received tons of love while we were away. Highly recommend!”

Kerry M.

“Yulia took great care of our two dogs and cat. She was exceptional and we would hire her again!”
