House Sitting in Lake City

About: I have several years of experience pet and house sitting, including overnight and extended stays. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals—from playful puppies and senior pets with special needs to exotic pets like reptiles and birds, as well as farm animals such as goats and chickens. I’m confident handling feedings, medication, and basic training, especially for young dogs. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their home environment, and I treat every home with respect and care while owners are away. My career is very flexible allowing freedom to live a nomadic life. I travel for work, but my home is in the San Juan Mountains. My scheduling is usually pretty flexible. Please reach out to further discuss availability. As I offer in home services and dog walking only. I will give your pets love and care in the environments that they are comfortable in. I will listen to and honor any of the owner’s requests as to the care of their furry family members. Your home and pets will be taken care of as if they were my own.

“Samatha was amazing! She fed Winter on schedule and didn’t miss any meals. She texted me each day with an update and sent a pic of Winter with it. I really appreciated that. My house was left nice and clean. It was raining and my backyard can get muddy so she was wiping my dogs feet. Winter had an accident on her bed so Samantha washed her bed for her. She was really great so I’d recommend her to everyone! She is a really sweet person!”

“Claire watched our pups for a day while we visited ouray. We were able to go for a long hike, enjoy orvis hot springs and have a meal without worrying about our senior girl and our 8 month old puppy. She was sweet with them and I would absolutely book her again if we are in town.”

“Ashley went above and beyond watching my elderly pup for the weekend taking her on long walks and spending tons of time with her outside. She sent tons of photos and kept me updated too. I highly recommend! Thank you so much!”

“Megan was great! She provided daily updates with videos and photos, followed instructions I left, and treated both my pups with good care, which gave me peace of mind. One of my dogs is shy with strangers and he approved! I appreciated she kept in close communication. She even went the extra mile and left my place very tidy. I would definitely recommend her and will be requesting her services again. Thanks, Megan!”

“Caleb took really good care of Axel and left the house nice and clean for my return. Axel is getting older so it was lovely that Caleb was able to stay with him all day and make sure he was getting attention. Healso took some great pictures while I was away and it helped put my mind at ease.”

About: I’ve had a variety of pets (dogs, cats, lizards, fish, tarantulas) my entire life. I thoroughly enjoy taking care of our best buddies. I love going outdoors with our furry friends for some fun and exercise. I work from home, and have a very flexible schedule! I am available with full access to transportation to meet your pet caring needs anytime anyplace. Our pet’s well being is first and foremost. I treat my animals just like one of the “pack”, they are family members, and just like family, their needs are just as important as anyone else’s in the house.

“Sierra took great care of our three dogs while we were on vacation and sent us regular photo updates during her stay. We would definitely recommend services.”

About: Dogs that come visit usually have a blast being part of the pack and end up learning some desirable behaviors with my 2 service animals Bellie and Lola. I am a retired veteran so i am free to work with dogs all day everyday, its very rewarding and works great with my schedule. I have a couple of runners set up and shade structures. When it is hot I let the dogs inside. I take the dogs out to play with my pack often. We will go on walks, throw frizbee, play tag, practice tricks, etc. I like to take the dogs swimming too if thats permitted by the owners before hand ( I have doggy life jackets).

About: I’ve taken care of every sort of critter since I was a little kid and have always been passionate about making animals a part of my life. This includes puppies, dogs with disabilities, blind cats, animals needing medication, and lots of animals with big personalities-I even have one my self (Australian blue healer). I have volunteered all over the country at different shelters while traveling and have worked for shelters and animal ranches. You could say I know a thing or two about animals. My dogs are essentially my kids and come on almost every adventure with me. With clients, I treat their dog exactly how I expect others to treat my furry ones when I’m out of town. If there is anything special that you’d like to let me know, then I am all ears. I spend most of my free time rock climbing and adventuring outdoors. I also love to read and paint, so if your dog isn’t as active, I will certainly lounge around with them :) All of my pets get better care than I think most dogs ever get and your dog will be treated just the same! My dogs are always involved in every activity and never feel left out. They all love to learn, play, walk, adventure and of course get snacks! Just let me know how you normally take care of your dog and we can make it work!

About: I recently lost my dog of 11 years, a sweet, catahoula pit mix. I gained experience in puppy training, handling dog aggressive behavior and senior care. Please let me know your dogs needs so I can give you both the best experience and care! I work from home as a realtor and take a daily walk/hike for at least 2miles/an hour. Happy to schedule in lots of potty breaks in the fenced backyard and little trips to the treat store and parks too. I’m a lonely nester without my beloved bean dog! I have all the things a dog could want and need at my place- treats, beds, blankets, bowls and tons of love! I can’t wait to take your dog on tons of adventures outside and around the neighborhood.
