Pet Sitting Evergreen

About: Your dog gets a half-acre fenced yard on two acres, and a gate that opens straight onto open space and trail. No loading up in a car to find a walk, we step out the door and go. For a big dog with a real engine, that’s the whole difference. I have two labs of my own, a male and a female, both social and easy, so your dog has company and a pack to fall into rather than a crate and a quiet house. I’ve been boarding for friends and neighbors for 10, and I know what a bored 70-pound dog does to a living room, which is why exercise comes first here, not as a bonus. Good fit for: large breeds, working and sporting dogs, adolescents with too much energy, dogs who don’t do well kenneled. Not a good fit for: dogs who can’t be around other dogs, or who need to be kept separate. I’d rather say that up front than have anyone spend a bad weekend. I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits for locals who’d rather keep their dog at home. Same approach, a walk here means actual miles on real terrain, not fifteen minutes on pavement. Daily photos and a note, usually from somewhere on the trail. I work from home, so dogs aren’t alone for long stretches, I’m here through the day and the routine is built around that. Mornings start with a walk on the trail behind the house before I sit down to work. I leave the doors open so that dogs are able to go in and out of the fenced yard through the day while I’m at my desk, with a midday break for a longer outing. Late afternoon is the real hike, when my two labs go out and your dog goes with them. Evenings are quiet, everyone’s tired by then, which is the point. I do take calls during the day, so there are stretches where I’m at my desk rather than actively playing, but the dogs are with me, not shut away. Weekends are more of the same with longer hikes and no calls Containment: My yard is a half-acre fully fenced, on two acres backing to open space. Gates stay latched and I check them before any dog goes out. Dogs are never off-leash on the open space unless the owner has confirmed reliable recall and I’ve seen it myself on a long line first, otherwise we hike on leash, every time. In the house: Dogs are loose in the main living area with me and my two labs, not confined to a garage or basement. I have crates available if your dog is crate-trained or you’d prefer it, and I’m happy to keep whatever routine they already have. New dogs and mine are introduced outside on neutral ground before anyone comes in the house. Requirements: Up to date on rabies, distemper/parvo, and bordetella. I ask for your vet’s contact and a backup person who can make decisions if I can’t reach you. Wildlife: We’re in the foothills, so coyotes, bears, and mountain lions are part of the landscape. Dogs go out into the fenced yard supervised, not unattended, and I don’t leave food or water bowls outside. Nobody is out in the yard alone at dawn or dusk. If something goes wrong: I’ll call you first, but I won’t wait on a callback to get a dog treated. My work is in wildfire and emergency planning, so I keep an evacuation plan for my own dogs including crates, leashes, records, and a go-bag ready and any boarding dog is included in it if there is an emergency.

“Tenja is amazing. We reached out to her on the 28th of December and she was able to accommodate us the next day. She is very attentive and has this calmness around dogs that make them feel calm. We have 2 dogs - both have anxiety and they both were super chill with her. We will definitely be using her services again!”

“Katrina went above and beyond for my animal family! I had to take my kitty into the vet before leaving town and Katrina picked her up from the vet and made sure she was very well cared for the entire time I was gone. She also gave extra love and care to my senior dog and big dog who demands constant affection :) I will be booking her again! So glad we found her on here!”

About: I've been a devoted dog lover since childhood when my mom would take in strays and rescues from the streets. I helped groom, train, love, and care for these sweet souls. Today, I work as a part-time substitute school teacher but find that I need more four footed companionship and outside time in my life, so I'd love to be your go to dog walker on my days off. I've always helped my friends and neighbors with their dogs (walking or pet sitting), and I'm good big dogs and little dogs. With 20+ years of teaching experience, you know that I have oodles of patience and consistency to rely on, and lots of caring and affection to give. Please let me help you give your pets the care and attention that they need when you're at work or on vacation! I'm working part time as a substitute teacher--this means that I generally work 3 days a week, and am often home by 3:30. I have afternoons available for longer walks and play-time. I am not able to board dogs in my own home, but in your home I can make sure that your dog or cat has the kind of love and care that they are used to whether they are an inside dog or outside. Walking is one of my favorite activities so I'm there to make sure that you're dog and myself are getting the exercise we need!

“Laura was great with our pups! She was super responsive and communicative during her drop ins. Very happy and will definitely be booking again in the future!”

About: I live in the Evergreen area and work in Golden, and I spend a lot of time outside running and hiking, so I’m a great match for dogs who have some energy and need more than just a quick walk. I’m super reliable, easygoing, and I pay attention to the little things, whether that’s sticking to your dog’s routine or just making sure they feel comfortable while you’re gone. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and getting them outside, so it never feels like a chore. Happy to help with walks, drop-ins, or sitting, whatever you need! I live in Evergreen and work at a running store in Golden during the week (and some weekends), but I have a flexible schedule and am available at different times throughout the day. I can usually make mornings, afternoons, or evenings work depending on what you need. I try to keep things as close to your dog’s normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I pay attention to feeding, walks, and any specific instructions you give. I’m very mindful on walks and always prioritize safety. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and consistent. I also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands.

We also have a big trail next to us for walking needs as well, we look forward to you booking with us Not working right now, so my time is spent at home with the animals fully. I try to stay home as much as possible so I’m fully committed to your dog I have a 3 bedroom spacious double wide trailer where two of the rooms are dog rooms so plenty of room for dogs, we don’t have a “fenced” yard but we have a huge area with a 50 ft lead where we sit on the porch with the dogs while they do their business

About: I’m a big animal lover and dog mom myself, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I’m calm, reliable, and always do my best to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, sticking to a routine, or just hanging out and keeping them company, I’ve got it covered. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to make the experience stress-free for both of you. Pet care fits into my routine pretty naturally — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for. I’m active, love being outside, and spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my day. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a longer stay, I’m happy to work around what your pet needs and keep things easy and comfortable for them. I only care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and everything smells and feels familiar to them. I do my best to stick to their usual routine — whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, meds, or just keeping them company. I’m respectful of your space and always make sure things are clean, calm, and just how you left them. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.

“Kristina was terrific. My older dog loved her, and she took him on the walks he loves. She also left the lights on for us when we returned well after dark…very considerate.”

About: I adore dogs and enjoy playing with them. I have lots of experience with high-energy dogs and will be happy taking them for runs and walks. I have a very flexible schedule since I work from home. Dogs in my care are rarely left alone and can spend as much time inside or outside as they want. I can also take your dog on as many walks or runs as they need. I have a large unfenced property and about an acre that is fenced in. I also have two friendly dogs to keep your dog company and three older children that can play with your dog if needed.
