Dog Sitting Franktown

“My trip was for a funeral of which I was very concerned about how my four dogs would respond to my leaving for three days. Christina is fantastic with dogs and adapts to each dogs personality. Christina sent photos each visit and took very good care of my fur babies. Her caregiving eased the stress level so I could focus on my family and the loss of my Aunt. Thank you so much Christina.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I bring years of hands-on care to every pet I look after. Having owned and cared for three dogs and a cat over the past 10 years, I understand the unique personalities, needs, and routines that come with different animals. From daily walks and playtime to feeding schedules, I’m attentive, patient, and committed to keeping pets happy and safe. While I don’t have formal professional experience, I have pet sit for many friends and family over the years and treat every animal as if they were my own. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and trustworthy with both pets and their owners. I have full availability as of right now, so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Every day of the week from Monday-Sunday, I am available from 6am - 8pm for walks, drop-ins, and meet & greets. For walks and drop-in visits, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and consistent with their normal routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk preferences, and any specific behaviors or needs, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. On walks, I prioritize safety by using secure leash and harness handling, avoiding unsafe situations, and staying aware of the environment at all times. I do not allow off-leash activity unless it’s specifically requested and in a safe, enclosed area. I also pay close attention to each dog’s energy level and body language to make sure they’re comfortable and not overstimulated. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets get not only basic care like food, water, and potty breaks, but also attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m respectful of your home, keeping things clean and secure by double-checking doors, gates, and locks before leaving. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had dogs and a cat in the house, so caring for pets isn't just something I do — it's something I genuinely love. That foundation gave me an early appreciation for how much patience, attention, and affection animals need to truly thrive. Over the past several years, I've built hands-on experience pet sitting for my four brothers, all of whom have dogs. Through them, I've cared for a wide variety of breeds and sizes — from a 9-week-old German Shepherd/Husky mix puppy who needed constant supervision and socialization, all the way to a laid-back 9-year-old Black Lab who just wanted belly rubs and a steady routine. Every dog is different, and I've learned to read and adapt to each one's personality and needs. Beyond family, I've also cared for friends' dogs, including a one-year-old puppy for a full week and a weekend with a pair of adult Huskies — a breed known for being energetic, vocal, and strong-willed. I handled it with a smile. One thing that sets me apart: I work from home. That means no long hours where your pup is left alone wondering when someone's coming back. I'm there all day, every day — for walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet company on the couch. Because I travel frequently, I haven't gotten a dog of my own — but that just means I pour all that love into the pets I care for. When your pet is with me, they're not just being watched. They're being genuinely enjoyed. I'd be honored to be someone you trust with your furry family member while you're away. I work from home full time. I will be available 80-90% of the time to sit and cuddle, walk, or feed your pets while in our care. I love dogs, but since I travel frequently I haven't gotten one of our own yet, so we pour all our love into the animals we board or sit! I have a two-story single-family home. I am on a corner lot, so our backyard is a great size, and all fenced in! There are also have several walking trails and a park within walking distance to take the dogs. No other pets will be here while your dog/s are here with us. I have hardwood floors throughout the home with carpet in the bedrooms and basement. Dogs are welcome on our furniture with me!

About: I have had Golden Retrievers since I could walk and am chosen by many to care for their dogs and homes while they escape Colorado. If you live in the Pinery, I’m sure you’ve seen me out walking and playing with dogs! I am home from college for the summer and am available to give your furry family member some peace, comfort, and company while you travel or work. I am available to care for your dogs in your home and will exercise them and play with them according to the owners instructions. Your dogs will be loved and cared for.

“Leanelle was Great! Competent, Conscientious, caring, and prompt. I will definitely use her services again!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life, and an owner for over 26 years. They are closer to me than most friends and family. If you don't like dogs, you won't like me either. I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time to walk and/or stop in to see your pets. They will be in good hands. I care for my pets in every way possible. I make their food, groom them, take the to the vet regularly, and play with them almost daily in their big back yard.

“Emilee just took care of my kitten while we were away. She is very friendly and did a great job. She came when we agreed on and sent a photo from each visit. I would use Emilee again and recommend her!”

About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and bring over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for them. I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, including reactive dogs and senior dogs who need extra patience, consistency, and attention. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and behavior so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or needs a slower pace, I adjust my approach to meet their needs. I’ve also helped care for neighbors’ pets over the years, providing dependable support and making sure their pets are well cared for and relaxed in their home environment. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most weekdays and weekends. I’m able to accommodate a variety of times, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I try to keep things as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible. Feeding, walks, and whatever they’re used to day to day. I know pets do best when things feel familiar. I’m calm and patient, especially with dogs that might be a little anxious, reactive, or older. I pay attention to how they’re acting and adjust as needed. In your home, I’m respectful and keep things tidy. I’ll also send updates and photos so you know how everything is going.

About: I have taken care of all my family’s pets since I was 11 - dogs and cats alike, including senior dogs and cats, and puppies. My family currently has two cats and two dogs and I love every second I get with them and would love to show your pets that same love. I recently moved to Colorado from California to start a PA program which does not start until August. I am looking to gain some extra money and taking care of pets is something I love to do. I am living in an apartment with my husband and our 2 year old domestic, medium hair tuxedo cat. He is a mostly indoor cat, but I do take him on walks occasionally. For my family’s dogs, they tend to stay inside but we have a doggy door that gives them easy access to the backyard, where they can relax, play, or use the bathroom.

About: I am a lifetime pet owner, and pet lover. I have experience with both dogs and cats. I'm available to be your fur-baby’s drop-in grandmother. I am a local retired elementary teacher. I continue to serve the Castle Rock/Larkspur/Franktown community by substitute teaching, tutoring, house cleaning, and pet sitting. I live nearby, and my daily schedule is adjusted to meet the needs of my clients. My visits begin with a calm, friendly greeting, followed by playtime, cuddles, and ear or belly scritches. I will feed and give meds as needed. I will walk your pet, or play in the yard. I can also bring in the mail/packages, or water plants or do other simple quick tasks if you need me to. I can give you photo updates, or a text. I will check the environment to make sure that your pet is safe before I leave.

About: My mom is a veterinary technician so I know more about animals than the average person. We’ve had a wide variety of animals from lizards, hedgehogs, bunnies, owls, dogs, cats, and more. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for a few months. I take care of my dog, Doug, and my cats Tim and Chester everyday. Doug and I take daily walks, I feed him and take care of him. My animals are my best friends! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervised playtime, exercise, affection, and rest. I maintain feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, and make sure pets receive lots of attention and companionship throughout the day.
