Pet Sitting in Hayden

“Stephanie was so good with our girls! She kept in touch, sent lots of pictures and gave Roxy and Ashe lots of love!”

Jessica C.

“Kayleen did a great job sitting for my cat. She responded quickly, won Dennis over during the meet and greet when he was being shy, and went above and beyond with house stuff, helping keep the swamp cooler on for the 100+ degree days. Would recommend to anyone!”

About: Since I’m unable to have a pet of my own, pet sitting is something I truly enjoy! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I am very familiar with animal husbandry, as I grew up caring for livestock along with our family animals too. I currently work a very flexible schedule, especially in the summer time. I can take multiple breaks in my day to best accommodate your pets needs I am unable to offer pet sitting in my home at this time. I always treat your home as I would mine, and leave it better than I found it.

About: First, I live in Craig, but willing to try to make pickups work in Steamboat, meeting halfway or we travel for the gym often, so please don't hesitate to reach out to discuss. We have a large yard that is great for active dogs. There is always an adult in the house to watch/care for your pup, my mother in law lives with us, Mark is home often and we have 2 kids, ages 10 and 12. I enjoy being around dogs, and feel comfortable dealing with some simple behavior issues. I am very specific with my dog and willing to be as specific with yours if needed. I am active and can give walks daily. Please don't hesitate to let me know if any special needs and I'll do my best to be accommodating. I am active lifestyle and so going on walks and waking up early are part of my normal process. I am willing to work with any situation as best I can. I maintain control of situations and always attentive to behaviors or signs of fear or aggression to make sure it is addressed before any issues arise. I used to train horses when I was younger so the patience and consistency is something I've grown up with towards animals.

“Mayra was wonderful! Easy communication and flexible. Took great care of our pup and sent updates and photos. Will definitely use her for future dog walking and pet sitting!”

Mikaelyn L.

“Absolutely wonderful to work with! Her communication was absolutely amazing and she treated our home and more importantly our baby girl with so much kindness and respect we have no words! We 100% recommend her!”

About: I have been caring for pups since childhood and have a true passion for animals. Dog sitting was my first means of income as a child with my neighbors (and parents) allowing me to care for their dogs into my home while also growing up with a number of dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and rodents. My love for animals has only grown and for the first time in my life I have no pets of my own. For that reason, Rover is the perfect opportunity for me to spend time where my heart is and surround myself with what I love while also helping others. I have a great deal of experience training puppies as well as handling dogs with behavioral issues. Look forward to hearing from you! I am available to provide frequent care every day of the week. I work 4-6 hour shifts 3-4 days per week and love playing with pups the rest of my free time. Let me know your needs and I can work with you! As I am unable to care for pets in my home I will be happy to follow all rules and guidelines you have in place for the care of your home and pets!

About: ⚠️ SUMMER WARNING — This Is Important All the inside couch time they want! Your pup is treated as my own. As temperatures rise, the difference between in-home care and a boarding facility becomes a serious safety concern. Your dog will NEVER be left outside in the heat here. No overcrowded outdoor cages. No risk of overheating. No tension from being packed in with unfamiliar dogs that can lead to fights, stress, or injury. Just a cool, comfortable home with someone who genuinely cares ABOUT ME Your dog isn’t a reservation and source of $$. They’re family. I offer in-home boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and dog walking — all with one simple guarantee: your dog gets the same love, attention, and care I give my own sweet Jazzy Belle. I’ve created a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet is truly treated as part of our home — not just another booking. DOG BOARDING (In My Home) I take one dog at a time — or up to three from the same family. That’s it. Your dog has my full attention, always. Never left alone. I follow your dog’s existing routine as closely as possible, because consistency is comfort. But we also go the extra mile — we cook fresh, wholesome meals for our girl Jazzy and are happy to do the same for your pup. Think home-cooked rice, air-fried sweet potatoes, and canned tuna — real food made with care. Prefer to keep your dog on their normal diet? No problem at all. You’ll receive regular updates throughout the stay so you never have to wonder — just relax knowing your dog is safe, loved, and living their best life inside a real home not outside in cages and penned up. DOG DAYCARE Calm, structured, and attentive — modeled after your dog’s routine at home. Whether it’s their first time away or they’re a regular, your dog gets focused one-on-one care, positive interaction, and a relaxed, comfortable pace. No chaos. No crowds. Just good company. DROP-IN VISITS (At Your Home) Your home, your rules — I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and companionship. I treat your space with complete respect and keep you updated every step of the way so you always feel at ease. DOG WALKING Safety and reliability, every single walk. I match your dog’s pace and comfort level, stay alert to surroundings, and keep a calm, steady energy. Every outing is a good one. FRESH FOOD OPTIONS — What Makes Me Different Most boarders hand your dog a scoop of dry kibble. Here, they have options: • Cooked white rice — gentle on digestion, perfect for sensitive stomachs • Air-fried sweet potatoes — nutrient-rich, naturally sweet, zero additives • Canned tuna — lean protein that dogs absolutely love • Kibble blend available — mix fresh food with their regular diet for an easy transition • Your diet, fully honored — prefer to keep them on their normal food? Done. No pressure, ever. WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE ME OVER BOARDING FACILITIES • Only 1 dog (or 1 family) at a time — your dog is never competing for attention • A real home environment — not a kennel, not a cage, not a facility • Your dog will NEVER be left outside in summer heat • No overcrowding means zero risk of dog fights or stress • Fresh home-cooked meals available — not just a bag of kibble • Routine-based care that keeps dogs calm and comfortable • Regular photo and message updates so you always feel connected • Every dog is treated the way I’d want someone to care for my Jazzy Belle FOR FIRST-TIME ROVER USERS I completely understand the nerves — handing your dog off to someone new is a big deal. I want you to feel confident from the very first message. I communicate openly, follow your instructions carefully, and treat your pet like my own. Your peace of mind matters just as much as your dog’s comfort, and I work hard to earn both.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Because I work remotely as a Realtor and property manager, I don’t need to leave the house while boarding. I’m home 100% of the day, allowing for consistent supervision, regular walks, feeding on schedule, and plenty of attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, not around it. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust to each dog’s needs, and I’m also available for pickup and drop-off if needed. We’re a warm, cozy, dog-loving household and look forward to welcoming you and your best friend into our home. DOG BOARDING (IN MY HOME) I treat every dog the same way I would want someone to care for my sweet Jazzy Belle. For first-time Rover users, I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog in someone else’s home. I follow your feeding, walking, and rest schedule as closely as possible, since routine helps reduce anxiety and keeps dogs comfortable in a new environment. Your dog will be closely supervised, loved, and treated like part of our family. I’m always happy to provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. DOG DAYCARE If this is your first time using Rover, you can feel confident knowing your dog will receive calm, attentive care in a safe, supervised environment. I stick to your dog’s normal routine as much as possible because consistency helps dogs relax—even during short stays. Your dog will get positive interaction, structured activity, and plenty of attention, just like I give my own. DROP-IN VISITS (AT YOUR HOME) I know it can feel stressful having someone care for your pet in your home, especially if you’re new to Rover. I treat your home and your pets with the same respect and care I expect for my own. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and companionship, and I’m happy to send updates so you know your pet is safe and comfortable. DOG WALKING For first-time Rover users, safety and reliability are always my top priorities. Walks are done calmly and carefully, based on your dog’s pace, comfort level, and routine. I pay close attention to leash handling, surroundings, and your dog’s needs so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands—even when you’re not home.

About: I have always had family pets. Growing up we had an Australian Shepherd for 18 years so I know how to handle both young and old dogs. I currently have a mini Aussie, Olive, who is 4 so I am used to energy as well. We have also always had cats in my family and have recently welcomed a new kitten, Gnocchi. I have lovingly cared for my own pets and others including for families I previously nannied for. I hope I can be a good fit for you and your furry family! I currently work full-time Tuesday-Saturday. I can take walk breaks if needed during the day and can do mornings/evenings. On my days off I am available for all day care. I have a kitten and mini aussie who love their space but are willing to share it with the right friend. I prefer to come to you but can make an exception for the right fit after safe introductions. I'm easy going and understand the intricacies of each individual animal so am willing to make any accommodations you would like!

About: Hi! :) I’ve been a Steamboat local for 14 years! I have grown up with dogs (had 2 labs) who have both passed. Although I am unable to get another dog right now, I absolutely love dogs (the bigger the better!) and love being around them. I have experience with dog, cat, and house sitting. Longest stay has been 1 week, but definitely open to longer. Have sat in Hayden and Clark and steamboat. We’ll always make time for your pets! We live in Hayden so house/pet sitting in steamboat would be ideal so we can spend more time with them. We would prefer to stay in clients place if possible, No yard at our house but we would take them on walks. It would be both my boyfriend and I!

“Amanda was amazing! She lovingly cared for our cat following directions exactly. She was very dependable. I would recommend her without any hesitation.”

About: I grew up with a lot of dogs and cats. I have always loved playing with them and taking them on walks. I have spent time at a dog rescue walking dogs and cleaning their kennels. Right now I am working part time as a gardener. I have Monday and Friday and the weekend available. I will also have evenings after 4 available. I have a nice apartment, that has a court yard for your dog to run around in. I have two very friendly cats as well.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and other animals for almost 20 years. I showed dogs in 4-H when I was younger where I trained my dog in obedience, agility and confirmation classes. I have experience with small and large dogs. I am currently very flexible with my schedule. I can take of pets most of the week. My schedule may change so to match my husbands work schedule but should be available at least three days a week. I can do at home visits as many reasonable times I need to. For walking I can take them around the neighborhood or to the dogs favorite park.

About: I’ve taken care of Horses, dogs, cats, chickens & fish. I’ve worked on a Morgan Horse ranch of 50+ Horses. I’ve raised a lot of kittens, a few puppies, & had some chickens. I would love to be there to help you when you have other things that need to be taken care of. My schedule has a lot of flexibility with advanced notice. I also can be available on short notice if I’m not working my other job. I understand the love and importance of your pet to you and I would treat them like my own. I’ve raised lots of pets and three children and everybody’s doing awesome. :)

About: Greetings! Caring for animals is second nature to me. I grew up in Southern Minnesota on a hobby ranch that nurtured my deep love for animals. As I got older, I found myself in similar situations- constantly surrounded by animals of all kinds and more often than not, finding myself more at peace when surrounded by them. From cities and slopes in CO to the vast landscapes and ranches in WY, I've always worked with and looked after animals of all kinds. Your critters are in good hands with me! Besides my love for animals, I am trustworthy and genuine. I served as a Mental Health Child Counselor, Preschool Teacher, Autism Specialist, and Career Nanny for over 10 years. I own two nanny and babysitting agencies where i work from home. My passions in life include teaching mindfulness and meditation, traveling, and seeing live music. Pet Care fits into my life very easily and fluidly because I work from home, build my own schedule, and can adapt to the needs of each day. All in all, I'm a good listener and will follow the needs and requests of my clients. I am very hands-on and love to be present and engaging depending on need. The more love I can give the better. Your home will be cared for like it was my own.
