Cat Sitting Foxton

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.

“Audrey is awesome! She took such great care of my elderly cat. Pictures and notes every day! I got home and she'd taken out trash, washed up, etc. - left my place spotless! Thank you so much, Audrey, for taking such wonderful care of Carli and my home! I highly recommend Audrey - she is reliable and trustworthy and will love on your pets!”

About: I have had pets all my life. I currently have my dog Mr.Darcy (2 years old) who I'm actively training and my lovely cat Lucifur. I live with conures and I also frequently watch my sisters miniature zoo which includes dogs, reptiles, amphibians, fish, bugs, ducks & chickens. & I enjoy saving stray animals whenever I get the chance I'm an artist who's new to Denver looking to care for critters most of my time. High maintenance / energetic dogs are preferred but I truly love all animals. It's extremely important to me to listen when pets communicate. Dog language and behavior is something I spend most of my time researching just for fun.

“Breanne was great! Sent me lots of photos of my cat, Ross and everything went well. Would recommend.”

About: I work for a mobile company that provides non anesthetic dentals to dogs and cats who qualify! I am very experienced with animal behavior and many breed specific concerns. I love working with animals. I’m a college student on top of working a full time job! My main goal is to start to make more money for school to eventually receive my doctorate in psychology. I love animals more than anything and I’d love to believe they can sense that! I’m very big on positive reinforcement! And on top of it, I’m a huge sucker for animal snuggles!

“Olivia did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats! She sent lovely photos while we were away and clearly made them feel at ease. Highly recommend Olivia!”

About: I walked my professor’s dog for 2 ½ years straight, brought him to the dog park and ran with him many many times. I continued my experience walking dogs in Austin, TX. Dogs nearly always want to come and lick my face! 😂 I get along with almost any dog I meet :) I’m not working my normal job at the minute so I’m open and able to help you with your pets, birds, dogs, and cats! I hope I can be of help to you :) I will not be hosting dogs at my home but I could very much sit your dog or cat at your home if you would like me to :)

“She had watched our cat before and she's still great! Thank you so much for taking care of lemon, she looks so happy! Will keep booking through her as she has been perfect!”

I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to their needs, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, giving medication when needed, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: Hi! I’m Kelly, I’m 27 and have been an animal lover pretty much my entire life. I grew up in a house with three dogs and three cats, ranging from puppies to senior cats and a tiny toy poodle all the way up to a Great Dane, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and cats with every personality imaginable! I also used to volunteer with an animal shelter, helping transport animals to foster homes and adoption events. My stepmom is also a vet tech, so I was lucky to grow up around someone who taught me a lot about caring for animals and understanding their individual needs/ any medications! Animals have always been a huge part of my family, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet and all the little quirks that make them them. I have a cat of my own now who I absolutely adore, so I completely understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet. I’ll always make sure they’re getting plenty of attention, love, playtime and company while you’re away and I’m more than happy to send lots of pictures and updates along the way 🤍 I work remote which makes my schedule really flexible for walks, drop-ins, daytime sitting and overnight stays. I also have my own car, so getting to and from visits is easy. Whether your dog wants to go on a long walk or just curl up on the couch, or your cat needs someone to patiently convince them that I’m worthy of their friendship, I’m happy to meet them wherever they’re at. I’d love to take care of your pets and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and very loved while you’re away! 🐾 I work remotely, so pet care fits really naturally into my day! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily make time for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also available for overnight stays and can adjust my routine around your pet’s normal schedule as much as possible. I always try to keep your pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, litter care, playtime and any other routines they’re used to. I’m also happy to spend extra time giving them attention and company or giving them space if that’s more their personality! I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own and send plenty of updates and pictures along the way. 🐾

About: I'm an animal lover! My first pet was at 5 years old; a Jack Russell Terrier who had boundless energy. Someone had to keep up with my 3 older brothers and I! I jump at the chance to pet sit for family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and Rover clients! We love going for long walks, practicing tricks, being cozy, and sometimes treat them to a little spa time in the bath. I've watched approximately 30 dogs over the past 15 years. I love animals and grew up working on goat and horse farms, with puppies & dogs running around everywhere. I work from home, and am extremely flexible and reliable. I find keeping dogs on a regular schedule is helpful, and make sure I'm there whenever they need me! Walks, walks, and more walks! I’m very attentive and available to ensure you can have peace of mind knowing your loved one is in great hands.

About: I am a friendly face more than happy to help with any paw services, spanning from walks to sittings and more. All ages animals welcomed! I have a very flexible schedule, as long as walks or sittings are requested in advance. As long as parents communicate needs, I can accommodate them. I will follow all directions given from parents, and make sure the animal’s needs are met. Typically would prefer sitting at the animal’s house, I feel it makes them more comfortable.

“Ivan was great with my pets! He gave them lots of attention and sent cute updates. Will definitely book with him again!”

“Arianna sent photos daily, but ended up being unavailable one of the days I had her booked for and I was informed 45 minutes after the drop-in time, day of. Luckily, my partner was in town and able to stop by to care for my cats, albeit later than they are normally fed.”
