About: I have more than 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds, from energetic puppies to seniors who need a gentler pace and a little extra patience. I also have extensive animal care experience from past roles working at AZA zoos. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine and comfort level, and I take the time to earn their trust and provide the kind of care that works best for them. I’m patient, kind and compassionate, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’m also very active and happy to provide plenty of walks, exercise and playtime for dogs who need it. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, affectionate or independent, I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep you updated and care for them as if they were my own. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide dogs with plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day, along with regular bathroom breaks, walks, playtime and exercise. Because I’m home, dogs in my care won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I can easily adapt my schedule to their normal feeding, medication and activity routines. I genuinely enjoy having a dog by my side while I work and making sure they feel comfortable, engaged and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, bathroom breaks and any household rules. I provide plenty of attention, exercise and playtime while also respecting when a pet needs quiet time or space. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet and the property, and I make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I also provide regular photos and updates so owners can relax knowing their pet is happy and receiving patient, compassionate care.

About: I learned pet care from an early age from a dog loving family and then worked with the humane society and spent time with professional trainers. I am a retired school teacher with lots of free time! I love talking brisk, long walks with caninne companions and seeing mature up close. I live in a beautiful condo in Genesee. There is a ton of outdoor space and easy acces to trails. Great for dogs and humans.

“Kyle has been great watching my pup! My dog has certain quirks so I get very nervous about people watching him but he’s been very accommodating and amazing at responding and re-assuring me everything is going well!”

Caroline O.

“Makayla is awesome! Super easy to coordinate with, quick to respond, and took really good care of my girl. Makayla’s dog is very low key and friendly, and my dog got on great with him! Couldn’t recommend her more!”

Yvette R.

“Kayla was super sweet and my dog had an absolute BLAST! Awesome setup where dogs can roam outside in nature. Highly recommend. Thank you!”

“Rebecca took wonderful care of our Giant Schnauzer while we were in town visiting. She was flexible, awesome communication and allowed a late night pickup so we could go to Meow Wolf. When we came back to get her, we could see through the window that everyone was chilling on the couch watching a movie. She has a great backyard too!”

“Christoph & Nicole were awesome daycare hosts and took amazing care of my puppy! Their dog Charlie is so sweet and got along well with my pup! Mine is very high energy and I know he had a great day with their pack because he was so calm and contented when I picked him up and just wanted to nap :)”

About: 30 Years of Rescue Experience & Multi-Dog Mastery What sets us apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience that you won’t find with a casual sitter. For the past three decades, our home has been a sanctuary for at least four rescue dogs at any given time. We aren't just dog lovers; we are seasoned caregivers who understand the complexities of canine behavior, pack dynamics, and the unique needs of rescue animals. 🛡️ Senior & Special Needs Care Having raised many rescues from their first day home through their senior years, we are highly experienced in senior care. We understand the patience required for dogs with mobility issues, hearing or vision loss, and the strict schedules needed for medication administration. Your "old soul" will find a quiet, respectful, and accommodating environment here. My Routine: Full-Time Care & Companionship Being retired means your dog is my primary focus, not a side project. Because I am home all day, I provide the constant companionship and supervision that rescue dogs and seniors often need to feel secure. Continuous Supervision: I don't have an "office" to go to. Whether it’s potty breaks, play sessions, or just a quiet nap by my feet, your dog will have a human present throughout the day. Structured Days: Having managed a four-dog household for 30 years, I thrive on routine. We follow a consistent schedule for feedings, walks, and medication to ensure every guest feels stable and settled. Active Presence: My schedule is flexible, allowing me to adapt to your dog’s specific energy levels—whether that means frequent backyard exploration or extra snuggle time on the sofa. A Secure, 3.25–Acre Haven My home is designed for dogs to be dogs, safely. I reside on 3.25 acres of land, providing your pet with plenty of room to explore, sniff, and run. For your peace of mind, my property is fully fenced, ensuring that even the most curious explorers stay safe and secure within my boundaries. Safety & Supervision With 30 years of experience managing multi–dog households, safety is my second nature. Never Unattended: Because I am retired, dogs are supervised during all outdoor play sessions. Safe Integration: I use my deep understanding of pack dynamics to ensure all interactions are calm and positive. Secure Transitions: I maintain a double–gate mentality to ensure no "door–bolting" accidents occur. A Rescue–Ready Environment I understand that a new environment can be stressful, especially for rescues. My home is set up to be a low–stress sanctuary: Quiet Spaces: I have dedicated areas where dogs can retreat if they need a break or a nap. Senior-Friendly: No steep stairs or slippery floors to worry about—just a flat, comfortable layout perfect for aging joints. Clean & Maintained: I keep a tidy, hazard–free home to ensure your pet’s health and hygiene are prioritized.

About: I have 20 years of hands-on pet care experience and I've been around animals my entire life. I grew up in a household with multiple high-energy dogs, so caring for pets has always felt like second nature to me. Over the years, I've also lived with roommates whose dogs were just as high-energy, and later a cat, which gave me even more day-to-day experience with different pet personalities, routines, and needs. I have also cared for cats with medical needs. I've done drop-in visits for diabetic cats, including administering insulin injections on schedule. I understand how important consistency, routine, and a calm approach are for pets managing health conditions, and I take that responsibility seriously. My partner and I adopted a cat early last year, so I'm very used to daily pet care and know firsthand how important it is to keep things consistent for a pet's comfort and well-being. Our cat Yuzu is friendly, curious, and very social — I've made sure he's comfortable around new people and pets. If your pet enjoys feline company, they'll have a friendly companion during their boarding stay! Whether it's a high-energy dog who needs a good long walk or extra playtime to burn off energy, a cat who just wants a quick check-in and a clean litter box, or a pet who needs full boarding while their owners are away, I'm comfortable and experienced enough to give them the attentive, reliable care they deserve. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and boarding, and I'm happy to work with pets who have special needs, medications, or routines that require extra attention and consistency. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life since I work from home and have my own cat, Yuzu. Feeding, playtime, and routine check-ins happen daily, so fitting in walks, drop-ins, or boarding for your pet is easy, and I'm able to give them consistent attention throughout the day. In my home, pets are supervised, given a comfortable space, and introduced gradually to Yuzu if they're cat-friendly. In a client's home, I would follow your routines and instructions closely, secure doors and gates, and make sure medications or feeding schedules are followed exactly as directed.

About: Hi! We are Kati and Mitch, a work from home couple living with our pack in the mountains. We’ve owned and raised dogs of all shapes and attitudes and sizes, so our experience covers most ground! Our 14 year old dog is a pit who was very reactive in his prime, teaching us a lot about how to handle reactive dogs safely, but now as a sleepy senior, he’s taught us more about senior dog care. We raised our second dog from a puppy, so she taught us so much about the adorable havoc that puppies can bring! Our newest is a rescue, who was a street dog in Texas. She was very skittish and is still people-shy, so we’ve learned a lot about how to approach wary dogs, and how to break those naughty habits she learned on the streets! We love our pack so much, and we’d love to use our knowledge to love yours too! We both work from home 100% of the time, so we are home all day if you need a daycare or want to board, your pup will rarely be left alone if ever! Our schedules are flexible enough that we can easily fit in multiple drop in visits or daily walks too. We have a fully fenced in yard, a little over half an acre. Our two younger dogs would love to play with a new friend, but will also give space if yours isn’t into the rough and tumble! Our dogs are all allowed on the furniture, one sleeps in bed with us. They are the center of our attention all day, yours will be no different! :)

“Lars & Enzo took care of our doggie & made her feel welcome & cared for. We went to Red Rocks amphitheater & got to enjoy the show knowing our dog is in good hands. We got updates & photos of them in a fun walk. Also, Enzo is a such a sweet dog! Highly recommend! Thanks Lars & Enzo!”

About: I've owned dogs my whole life and am very knowledgeable of how to train and care for them. I've owned many different pets from scaly friends to furry ones, both large and small. I have a great deal of knowledge of how to care for both puppies and older companions. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thank you! I currently work from home so I have plenty of time for your furry friends. I have two very friendly and well trained dogs that love having company. We also have a cat that gets along very well with them. I have plenty of space in my back yard that is enclosed by a 6ft fence. We (dogs & I) go for walks and have plenty of play time during the day. I feed my girls twice a day and give them treats once in a while. Neither of my girls are food or treat aggressive. I have a couple of neighbor kids who come over and love to play with and show love to my pets. All of the pets in my home are well loved and cared for.

“Katrina was a fantastic sitter for Snow! Snow has anxiety and can’t be left alone so Katrina watched Snow while we were at an event. Snow was happy, safe, and content and had another pup around too. Definitely recommend her!”

“Brigitte took great care of my dog! My dog came home each day happy, well exercised and was happy to go back each day! Will definitely have Brigitte dog sit again.”

Bram B.

“Definitely recommend and will use Brandi again to look after my dogs. I was able to go to work with a great sense of peace of mind knowing my fur baby was in exceptional hands. 6 stars if I could!”

About: I’ve had my fair share of having my own dogs and taking care of Family & Friends dogs. Everyone can rely on me when it’s needed!! I’m a very attentive person. I pay a lot of attention to details. I am a full time Stay at Home Mom. I have 2 young kids. My kid’s love animals. I can wake up anytime during the night to take care of needs in my household, even our dog and others. It would be just me taking care of the dogs. My kids will be in school during school hours. And I have plenty of time to give. And more. If dogs are around, I will supervise my kids. I never leave them with any dogs unsupervised. We will go on walks after homework. And have a few hours of play time before bed. Just to exhaust everyone in my home. We have a good size yard and it’s fenced. Half is grassed and other side is cement. Which our dog loves to lay and sun bathe during the summer.

“Thank you to Jennifer for taking such good care of our brand new puppy whilst we were at Red Rocks!!! You guys were so flexible with the timing of drop off and pick up, you sent pictures to ease a mom’s worried mind. It was a fantastic experience all around.”
