Pet Sitting Gunnison

“She went above and beyond to accommodate for a last minute request!”

About: Animals have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember. As a former Certified Veterinary Technician and owner/operator of an in-home pet sitting and nursing care business, I've spent a large portion of my life caring for animals with the same dedication, patience, and compassion that I have for my own pets. I have shared my life with dogs since childhood and cats throughout my entire adult life, and I've also had and cared for horses, birds, reptiles, and fish. My passion for animal welfare extends beyond my professional experience. I have volunteered with local animal shelters for nearly two decades and remain deeply committed to providing every animal with the safest, happiest, and most comfortable experience possible. One of my greatest strengths is understanding animals as individuals. I am highly attuned to animal body language and behavior, allowing me to adapt my approach to each pet's unique personality, comfort level, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and outgoing, shy and cautious, elderly, or requires specialized care, I prioritize building trust and creating a positive, low-stress environment where they can feel secure and understood. Senior pets and pets with special needs hold an especially tender place in my heart. Through my veterinary and pet care background, I am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, monitoring health conditions, following detailed care plans, and accommodating special requests. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust when your pet requires extra attention, and I take that responsibility very seriously. My approach to animal care is calm, patient, kind, and animal-centered. I've always felt a deep connection with animals and believe that understanding the world from their perspective helps me provide the compassionate, individualized care they deserve. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home, welcoming them into mine, taking them for a walk, or providing additional support for medical or special-needs care, my goal is always the same: to ensure they feel safe, loved, respected, and happy while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I genuinely enjoy prioritizing. I work part-time on Monday, Thursday, and Friday mornings, as well as Thursday evenings, with shifts that are no longer than four hours. Outside of those times, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and routine care. I'm a very active person and make it a point to get outside every day, whether it's for a hike, walk, bike ride, or ski. One of my favorite things is sharing those adventures with a canine companion, tailoring each outing to the individual dog's age, fitness level, personality, and needs. Whether your dog prefers a leisurely neighborhood stroll or a more adventurous trail outing, I'm happy to provide safe, engaging exercise that's appropriate for them. I care for every pet as an individual and do my best to make their time with me feel safe, comfortable, enriching, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In my home, pets have access to a fully fenced yard that is perfect for bathroom breaks, playtime, exploring, and a good game of fetch. Because I currently don't have any pets of my own, my time, attention, and focus are devoted entirely to the pets in my care. To help ensure a safe, low-stress environment for everyone, I only accept dogs that are well-behaved, leash-trained, and crate-trained. I believe these skills contribute significantly to a dog's comfort, security, and overall safety, both at home and when out on walks or adventures. My home is clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly. Dogs in my care are welcome on furniture and beds for cuddles and companionship if that is something their owners allow at home. I strive to maintain consistency and follow the expectations and boundaries that each dog is accustomed to in their permanent home. I keep a variety of toys, blankets, beds, and comfort items for dogs on hand, but I also encourage owners to send along favorite toys, bedding, or other familiar items that will help their pets feel more at ease while away from home. When caring for pets in a client's home, I take the same personalized approach while respecting both the pet's routine and the owner's home. I welcome detailed instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, preferences, behaviors, and any special care requirements. I believe consistency is important, so I make every effort to maintain each pet's normal routine and provide the continuity, attention, and compassionate care they are accustomed to receiving at home. My goal is always to ensure that pets feel secure, understood, well cared for, and loved while their families are away. By providing structure, enrichment, affection, and individualized attention, I strive to give pet parents peace of mind and pets a positive, enjoyable experience.

About: My partner Aaron and I are excited to love and take care of your pets. We have our own black lab who we have professionally trained in search and rescue and soon to be a Canine Good Citizen. When you book us we both will be taking care of the pets so that they get the maximum amount of attention. We love walking them, playing at the river and going on hikes with the dogs we get to take care of! My partner Aaron and I aim to keep our calendar as updated as possible and I am currently available full time to take care of your pets. He and I both like to take care of the dogs because the more hands the better care! I can check in on your pet multiple times a day, go on walks with them and keep them company while you’re out of town so that they don’t get lonely!

About: I have been dog walking and pet sitting overnight for many years. I have a golden retriever and we love making new pet friends with all of our clients. Snuggles always included! We can go on several on-leash walks daily and work on leash walking skills. I work part time so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets. I am available daily walks and check-ins, as well as for overnight pet sitting any night of the week! You just tell me how you like your pets to be cared for and I’ll do exactly that! Hopefully they like golden retrievers so I can bring my dog along for more play time!
