Doggy Day Care Kittredge

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 15 year old dog was a pit who was very reactive in his prime, teaching us a lot about how to handle reactive dogs safely, but in his last few years, he 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! :)

“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!”

“Heather was amazing! She made sure my sweet puppy was well cared for and looked after. It definitely put me at ease. My doggy loves playing with the other older pups and running around in the yard. Thank you Heather for taking care of my baby!”

Kimberly H.

“My puppy had a blast with Christoph and Nicole!! They sent me pictures and videos throughout the day which made me so happy to see him enjoying his time while I was at work. I felt like he was in great hands with them and I would definitely book daycare with them again in the future!!”

“Annika was amazing! I was traveling through Colorado with my pup and needed someone to watch him for a few hours while my family and I did a longer, non-dog friendly hike. Ozark is generally pretty shy with new people but opened up to Annika right away! She asked great questions so I could tell she really cared about to take the best care of my dog. She took him on a little walkie and sent pictures and everything! 10/10 recommend - was exactly what I needed!”

Alex K.

“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!”

Gareth A.

“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.

“Thank you for treating our girl so well and for all the photos!”

“Lorraine is Amazing. Shyla loves going to her house playing with her friends and hanging out with her favorite people. Fur baby loving family Shyla will definitely use Lorraine as a home away from home”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life of all shapes, sizes, personalities and needs. From outgoing pets to shy pets, there isn’t a dog or cat I don’t love. I work hard to get to know your pet individually so that they get just what they need whether that’s lots of pets, some quiet alone time, or some fun play time. For every visit or walk I provide photos and updates so you don’t have to wonder what’s going on. I am also able to stick to any routine or training regimen that you’re working on. I work night shift three days a week and only watch pets on my off days, so those days are totally dedicated to pet time, including for my own Goldendoodle. I follow your instructions exactly to make sure not only that your pet feels safe and comfortable, but that you also feel comfortable with their care.

About: I’ve been raising, fostering and rescuing dogs for the past 13 years. I’ve been through all the dog life stages and dealt with all varieties of dog behavioral and medical issues. Everyone I know says that in their next life they want to come back as one of my dogs-spoiled to no end! I work for myself and mostly from home so I am very flexible with my schedule and my ability to spend a lot of quality time with you dog. Also, I have about 10 fenced in acres up in the mountains that is a great place to bring you pup for some off leash playtime if that’s something you’re interested in I have a lot of space in my home and also over 10 fenced in acres to explore (with supervision, of course). Outdoor play/ walk time at my house can be on or off lease depending on what you are most comfortable with

About: Dogs in our house are part of the family. We are a mother & son (age 14) combo with 2 dogs in the house (friendly, sweet spayed females). We have been loving and caring for dogs since we were both little, providing the best care for our price and will make your dog feel like it's at home! We have a fully fenced-in large yard and dog door. If you crate your dog, we have one in the house so that you don't have to bring yours. You can certainly bring your own dog bed, but we also have one that your pup can utilize. We also have stuffs, toys, leashes & bowls, so don't fret if you forget anything. Your furry-buddy is allowed to cuddle on the couch with us or wherever they find comfort. If the weather permits and your dog is accustomed to going to the dog park, they can join us on trips to play. We have both gone through dog training programs, most recently Ted Terroux. Clean house, well cared-for, loving home. ***** Please reach out if you need a date that shows as "unavailable" as we might be able to make a special accommodation for your dog & past clients. ***** As a teacher & student, we are on summer break and have lots of availability. During the school year, we work and go to school during the week. We are able to go home mid-day for potty breaks. We we home on weekends and during breaks (Spring Break, Summer, Fall Breaks & Winter Breaks). We have several "regular" clients that have a proven track record with our dogs.... Thus, we are able to board mid-week *if* your dog is COOL (plays well, non-destructive, low flight risk), and knows how to use a doggie door. So, please send us a message as we are often available for other dates not made public on the calendar. We look forward to getting to know you and your fur baby! We have a great record of caring for our dogs and we will be able to safely and reliably take care and keep your dog safe and happy in a comfortable and clean home. We typically feed our dogs in the morning and evening, but can accommodate your pups needs. Our home is very clean and well taken care of. There is a main level in which we hang out with great room, office and kitchen. The dogs have free-roam of the main level which has laminate flooring, but covered with carpet squares as one of our dogs does not like walking on hardwood floors. So, it is mostly carpeted for her comfort. We have a large sectional in which we allow dogs to snuggle with us while watching TV. The LARGE yard is mostly grass, some mulch/landscaped trees & shrubs, with concrete patio in which we spend a lot of time dining and reading. We pick up poop DAILY. During the evening, if you request your dog could be crated in the bedroom in which one of us is sleeping as dogs are pack animals and they don't like being separated from the pack. We keep them close to us. But, we want to keep everyone safe, so the crate is available (optional) for their safety as well as ours/our pets. But again, they are slumbering in the same room with us.

“Cory did a great job with our 8 year old goldendoodle. Drop off and pickup was very smooth. We also received a photo during the stay which definitely helped as this was our first time using Rover and I was nervous leaving our pup with someone I don’t know!”

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, including several with special needs and disabilities, so I understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and compassionate care. I’ve also spent many years dog and cat sitting for friends and family, caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, routines, and energy levels. I know our pets are family, and I would love the opportunity to provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment for your dog or cat while you’re away! I work full-time from home and am always there during the day. I can schedule weekend care but need a bit more notice as my social calendar can fill up. No pets at home. I can have yours over during the day. Night time is ok if it's not more than a couple of nights, and as long as your pet is quiet/well-behaved.

“Nelli always comes home pooped-out and happy after a day at Chris and Andrea’s. They are a Godsend!”

Sandy Y.

“Highly recommend Jillian. She was responsive, communicative and my dogs had a great time with her and her pup!”

About: Hi! I’m Bri, and caring for animals has been one of the biggest passions of my life for over 11 years. While many people love animals, I’ve built my life around caring for them—whether that’s through rescue work, training, or providing a safe and loving home. For six years, I co-ran a small animal rescue, helping countless dogs and cats find loving families. I’ve worked with animals of all personalities—from shy and fearful rescues to energetic puppies and senior pets needing a little extra patience and compassion. I also cared for animals on our 13-acre farm, where I looked after horses, chickens, dogs, and cats. That experience taught me responsibility, adaptability, and how to recognize an animal’s needs before they become problems. I have experience training small and medium-sized dogs using positive reinforcement, and I genuinely enjoy helping pets build confidence and good manners. Outside of animal care, I’m a registered nurse with a background in orthopedic and trauma nursing. My nursing career has strengthened my attention to detail, ability to stay calm in emergencies, and commitment to providing compassionate care—qualities that naturally carry over into caring for your pets. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, medication, cuddles on the couch, or simply someone who understands that every animal is unique, they’ll be treated like one of my own. I know how hard it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, so my goal is always to give you peace of mind through excellent communication, reliability, and lots of photos and updates while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! As a stay-at-home mom to one little boy, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets throughout the day. My routine allows me to be dependable, attentive, and responsive to each pet’s individual needs, so they’ll receive the love and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they were my own and take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and any special needs before each visit. I share my home with two friendly cats and spend much of my day caring for and interacting with animals. While my front yard is unfenced, all dogs are kept securely leashed outdoors. I provide daily walks of 30 minutes or more, often at a nearby park, along with plenty of playtime, enrichment, affection, fresh water, and potty breaks. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel safe and relaxed. I’ll also provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of our lives for as long as we can remember. We’ve owned and loved dogs for over 25 years, including the last 13 years with our own two dogs, who we recently lost to old age. Throughout our lives, we’ve shared our homes with a variety of breeds such as working breeds and Shepard mixes. Each has had their own personality, quirks and needs, and we’ve learned how important it is to understand the individual dog rather than take a one-size-fits-all approach. We’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to elderly dogs enjoying their final years. We’ve also had experience with rescue dogs who’ve had difficult starts in life, anxious dogs who need extra time and space to feel comfortable, and dogs with some reactivity towards other dogs or people. We understand that trust takes time, and that patience, consistency and respect for a dog’s boundaries can make all the difference. Before having dogs of our own, we regularly dog-sat and walked dogs throughout college. Responsible dog ownership has always been important to us, and we’re passionate about making sure dogs receive the care, attention, and exercise to suit their individual needs. After losing our two beloved dogs, we’re adjusting to living in a dog-free home for the first time in 25 years. We’re excited to open our hearts and home to other people’s dogs, giving them the same love, care and attention we’d want for our own. We’d love to build lasting relationships with both dogs and their owners, becoming familiar, trusted faces that you can feel comfortable relying on. My partner and I both work from home, so we’re around for most of the day and can offer dogs plenty of company, attention and supervision. Dogs are rarely left alone for more than very short periods, depending on the circumstances. We enjoy an active lifestyle, but we know that not every dog wants or needs long walks and outdoor adventures. We’ll tailor walks, playtime and activities to each dog’s age, energy level, health and personality, while keeping to the routine they’re used to as much as possible. We want to make sure our care works for both the dog and their owner, so we’ll always discuss your expectations and your dog’s needs before confirming a booking. Our home is a calm, dog-friendly environment with a securely fenced yard and space for dogs to relax and feel at home. We don’t have any other pets or children, and we have relatively few visitors, so there’s no busy household or constant stream of unfamiliar people for your dog to navigate. We take your dog’s safety and wellbeing seriously. We’ll follow your instructions around feeding, exercise, equipment and routines, take care with leash and harness use, and discuss any anxieties, triggers or behavioural considerations before their stay. We are familiar with crate-training and basic command trainings. We’ll also send regular photos and messages throughout the stay. We know how reassuring it is to see your dog happy and settled when you’re away, and we want you to feel confident that they’re in caring hands.

“Thanks for the full day of fun for Harold! So appreciate you and your flexibility with the early morning drop off. Will book you again when we can for sure.”

“Elizabeth was terrific - flexible schedule at the last minute, and patient with a high-maintenance show dog puppy (and owner). Highly recommended.”
