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.

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’m great with feeding, playtime, cuddles, and keeping up with their normal routine. I’ll make sure your doggy feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I’m a student and work part time so my schedule is flexible! I’m available anytime throughout the weekdays and on the weekends to work around your needs! I follow their normal routines closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any special instructions from their owner. I want every pet and owner to feel safe, comfortable, and confident while they’re in my care.

About: I love and adore animals! From pet sitting for neighbors while growing up to caring for my dog I enjoy spending time with furry friends. The love that pets so openly share is a gift to cherish and an example to live by. They connect us to the nature of simply being alive and how to enjoy the present moment. I enjoy spending time going for daily walks with dogs. As well as stopping to pet any cats I see along the way. When a friendly furry comes my way I always make time to pet and talk to them. When I live with animals I make sure to include them in my routine by taking them out in the morning and the evening before bed. I make sure their water bowl is always filled. I ensure they are fed appropriately throughout the day. Allowing them sufficient time in the yard and taking them for frequent walks so they can take care of their business is always key. Many dogs love being interactive. So I often take them running or play games with them outside. Bringing them out into nature for hikes is always fun.

“Kamilla stayed at our house and took care of our two young cats for a little over a week. She was very communicative, took great care of the cats and was very respectful of our home. We have already booked her for two more upcoming trips and we would highly recommend her to anyone else!”

About: I have a flexible schedule and am available seven days a week, including weekends and most holidays. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet receives reliable, loving, and personalized care. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly. I currently share my home with two well-cared-for indoor cats. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and a low-stress environment for animals. If I expand my services in the future, I will ensure every pet is cared for in a safe and comfortable space.

“Lexus stayed at our house for several days to keep an eye on our cat to make sure his urinary blockage didn’t come back. I was nervous about leaving my kitties with someone new, but Lexus did a great job giving them their medicine and was a very calming presence with them!”

About: Animal lover all of my life. My girlfriend and I have lots of experience with cats and dogs.I have lived with Mastiffs,Berners, Labs and other breeds but do not currently have a dog of my own. Twenty years of excellent references in Crested Butte and a few years of references around Denver. Definitely happy to take your dog on adventures in the mountains, Golden Gate State park etc. I live in Arvada with my girlfriend. We have plenty of room and a fenced in yard. Close to lake Arbor. Let me know if I can help. I drive Uber/Lyft so my schedule is very flexible. We are Avid hikers, snowboarders, xc skiiers ,rafters etc. We don't currently have our own dog so this is fun for us. I am happy to hike,ski,walk,play with your dog or just show up to say hi and let out from time to time. I am pretty flexible and good with dogs.

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.”
