Dog Boarding in Longmont

If you are looking for a safe and happy home for your dog and a guilt-free time away, you are in the right place! I’m a retired executive who unapologetically loves dogs, and I’m happy to extend a warm welcome to your precious friend.

My spacious house comes with a large fenced yard, doggie door for potty breaks anytime day and night, lots of toys, play and belly rubs. Dogs are allowed to run freely in the house as well as hang out on couches so that they can cuddle with me. I’ll keep a close eye on your dog, feed him/her according to your instructions, administer meds if required and take him/her for walks around the lake half a mile from the house.

For over a decade I used to breed Dobermans, and now I have a wonderful 2-year old dog Raven who was a rescue at seven weeks. Raven is a Lab/Border Collie mix who gets along super well with all dogs and people and who’s currently in training to become a therapy service dog. She loves to play with our guest dogs and keeps them exercised. There are no other animals or children in the house.

You’re welcome to leave your dog with me for an overnight stay, extended stay or daycare. No need to worry about strict drop off/pick up times – I’m flexible.

Feel free to reach out to say Hi and ask any questions you might have.

Looking for a day, week or months of dog care? My boyfriend and I live on an acre of land, in a farm-like environment, on the border of Lafayette and Erie.

I love taking care of fur babies just like yours and providing the most fun, healthy and loving experience possible!

While here, your dog can expect:

* Lots of kisses, snuggles and attention from two dog lovers who work from home with a lifetime of experience working with dogs!

* Lots of socialization and playtime with other dogs (we average 8/night).

*24/7 access to our backyard with sun, shade, grass, water, toys and a deck (yes, your dog can sunbath :). In the Summertime, water loving dogs can enjoy a dip in our doggie pool!

*24/7 access to a dog friendly home set up with couches, chairs and dog beds where your dog can rest, sleep and relax (if your dog sleeps in a kennel, we can set their kennel up too).

*Feeding away from other dogs (we feed dogs 1 by 1) in our kitchen blocked by dog gates to ensure no food guarding or fights over food can break out.

*TONS of daily exercise either in our backyard playing fetch or chasing other dogs.

*Optional visits to dog parks, trails, and/or walks (depending on owner’s desires). We generally have a handful of very friendly and playful dogs here at any given time who form a pack family quite quickly.

*Elderly dogs who don't need to run miles to have a good night's rest can enjoy resting inside on our furniture or dog beds, or enjoy sunbathing and watching other dogs play from our deck.

*Medication (if required) is given on your pup's schedule.

-We have experience taking care of dogs with multiple health concerns including: paralyzation, Cushings Disease, recovering from strokes, recovering from broken bones, deaf, separation anxiety, incontinence, depression, allergies and more. We welcome special needs and high needs dogs.

*Access to multiple vets and animal hospitals (if needed) within minutes of our home.

*Included daily updates with photos and/or videos of your kiddo.

*An individual care program suited to you and your dogs needs. We pride ourselves in ensuring your kiddo has the most fun, healthy and loving experience possible while here. Many owners say their dog didn't want to leave!

Additionally, my boyfriend and I are both certified in Dog First Aid and CPR.

I'm Lindsey, a stay-at-home mom with a life-long love of dogs. Being a stay-at-home mom allows me to be a stay-at-home dog sitter too, so your dog will rarely be alone!

I live in a neighborhood that has nice places to walk, with a park across the street from our house. The best part though is that we live just a few minutes away from a number of open space trails. I take my dogs walking on these trails everyday, and I know your pup will love these adventures as much as my dogs do.

You can look at my photos and see my two sweeties, Clover and Beastie. I have pics there of my human sweeties too, my husband and my two kids, ages 12 & 156, who are dog lovers as well. We have plenty of room in our house for more canine company, your dog can have a little breathing room if he or she needs it, or (s)he can come join me for a cuddle on the couch.

I know it can be a little stressful for dogs when their people are gone, so I'll do my best to make your dog's time with me like a little vacation, with fun walks and lots of love and belly rubs.

Why I love dog sitting

My love of animals has been a huge part of who I am since I was a child. It led me to work for a time after college as an adoption counselor at the Denver Dumb Friends League and as an employee at a Colorado Springs animal shelter as well. I grew up with cats, and loved them to pieces, but I've been a devoted dog owner for more than two decades now. I can't imagine life without them!

Meet my pets

We have two dogs, Clover & Beastie. Clover is a young pug. She's goofy and playful but loves cuddle time on the couch. Beastie is a funny little Chihuahua. He barks at dogs when he first meets them, as Chihuahuas are prone to do, but he gets over that quickly and then is his happy little self. We also a Red-Fronted Macaw named Bean, he's quite a character. We can handle doggie guests that are interested in the bird, but if your dog will be very focused on making the bird lunch, we might not be the best fit. If you're unsure, we can see how your dog does during the meet & greet. Most dogs do just fine with him.

About my yard

We have a large U-shaped yard that surrounds our house. Our fence is 3' tall. If there's any concern that your dog might jump the fence, I'll happily take your pup out on a leash or closely supervised.

My experience administering medication

Yes, I've given dogs subcutaneous injections, pills, eye drops, and ear medication.

Providing care for animals and their people for over a decade. I am a professional Pet Psychic and Reverend of Psychic Reading and Healing, registered in the State of Colorado.

Humane Society of Boulder Valley Adoption Specialist (Previously Employee, currently Volunteer Staff) – including dog and cat handling, feeding and healthcare knowledge.

Humane Society of Boulder Valley Certified Foster Family 11 years – supporting shelter animals, including fostering over 80 homeless, injured or nursing dogs in my home.

I'm sorry but in the interest of safety for my clients dogs I cannot offer boarding in my home to dog agressive or object guarding dogs. I welcome caring for those dogs as a dog walker or house/dog sitter.

My family and I love to have animals around. We have a great yard that is fully fenced. We also have 2 dogs from a 3year old up to 17 years. I am at home with my daughter most of the day. My daughter is very good with dogs. Our home is laid back and pretty quiet. My younger puppy wants friends to play with since the other one is tiny and old. We do a lot of dog parks and rides in the car if it is not too hot. We also have a pool, if your dog likes to swim. We have no cats, or small animals (other than the bunnies that wander the neighborhood). We live on a quiet cul de sac with very little traffic (two cars a day). I can deal with food aggressive dogs, and can take a few dogs at a time. Your dog will have the run of the house. Please bring a crate if your dog is destructive when being home alone. Otherwise, they will be out in the house or yard. Please note, all you will need to bring is food and a bed. We have leashes, bowls, treats and loads of love for your dogs to enjoy.

John and I are a retired professional couple living in northwest Boulder. We've been dog owners for over 30 years. We lost our last dog, 10-year-old golden retriever Baxter, to bone cancer. We miss him! Most days we walked him in nearby open space. We'd be happy to have your dog join us now.

We offer both overnight boarding and daycare.

We are home most of the time (but not necessarily 24x7) and maintain a quiet household. We welcome dogs aged 2 yr and older. Unless you live out of town, to ensure a good fit, we require a meet & greet session before booking.

We normally host up to 2 dogs at a time. But if we appear to be full up, feel free to contact us and chances are we'll extend our availability to accommodate you.

Just because you are staying at home during this time doesn't mean your dog has to! We have 10 acres of a working family farm for supervised running and playing to work off that pent up energy. We offer free pick up and delivery for essential workers - or anyone who is needs that service during this time.

About my yard

We are on a 10 acre alfalfa and tree farm, surrounded by other large properties, at the end of a quiet lane. Your dog can have as much supervised freedom as you are comfortable with.

My experience administering medication

I am a physician assistant, comfortable with administration of all types of medication.

We are excited to meet you and your fluffy friends. Please let us know how we can help you during this tough time.

Dogs are my life! I am a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College, specializing in positive reinforcement training and before my move to Colorado, was a full time employee at a wonderful play'n'train daycare! I have experience with large packs (up to 30 dogs) as well as experience with single dogs and their personal issues. I rescued my dog Sasha three years ago and training her has been a joy! She was highly leash reactive and anxious after her rescue from an abusive owner and training her has given me so much experience, confidence and joy! I am always willing to work on behavioral issues your dog may be having during walks or during the day and would love a chance to help out other pet parents and their babies! I am currently living in Louisville with Sasha and my boyfriend and we love it here! I have a fully fenced back yard and my house is set up so new dogs coming over can integrate into our family seamlessly and safely. I have separate rooms gated off for my dog so your dog can warm up to us and her with no pressure of an on-leash meet and greet. I don't allow dogs in my bed (as Sasha is not allowed in the beds as part of her training) but for dogs that love to cuddle (as do me and Sasha) I have my living room set up with a futon for us to sleep and snuggle. If your dog had issues with other dogs THAT'S OK!! I am lucky to have the ability in my home to keep all dogs separate and hopefully, we can work on some of those insecurities your pup might have. Hope to see them soon!

I carry my own pet-sitting insurance, in addition to the Rover guarantee!

My experience caring for a wide range of dogs and a number of cats goes back at least a decade. We have boarded pups for friends and relatives for short and long periods (weeks to months), and we have a young Labrador of our own. (Kepler is my big goofy shadow!)

All pets deserve good play, exercise, and interaction -- that's why I'm on Rover, to provide happy experiences for your beloved furry ones while you're at work, on vacation, or otherwise out and about. I know when I leave my own dog, whether it's for a few hours or days, I fret about how he's doing, so for pets that I watch, I strive to provide the same love and attention that I'd want for Kepler from his caretakers .

For boarding, we have ample space for your dog & ours to play in the large, fenced-in backyard. Plus, we go for a walk at least twice a day around the neighborhood.

***NOTE***:

1] I may accept up to two well-behaved dogs from the same household for boarding.

2] House-sitting and boarding services are charged per 24-hour period. Any additional portion thereof may be charged an extra nominal fee or the full day rate. For house-sitting, we could discuss your needs for the booking re: staying overnight vs several visits over the course of a day. I'm also happy to water plants, take in the mail, and put out the trash/recycle/composting bin.

3] Due to allergies, I may only provide services to tobacco-free homes.

4] Additional fees may be applied for travel greater than five miles beyond my specified service area. (See map insert)

Ever since I can remember I have always loved animals, especially dogs. My first dog was Ginger, a sweet and very energetic English Pointer who I adopted from the humane society. I have now owned 4 dogs with all different and quirky personalities.

When you see ‘we’, it means my husband (Chet) and I work as a team to care for your pet. You can have full faith and confidence in the care your pet/best friend will receive when booking with us, because we love them as though they are our own. I have 20 plus years experience caring for dogs and exotic animals.

I grew up dog sitting and house sitting, and walked dogs for my neighbors, friends and family. I even have 3 years experience working with wild dogs at the Zoo. Chet grew up in NE, farming and has a lot of experience in animal care.

We treat our pets as though they are our children- they are a part of our family. They have a full basket of toys & get to play games with myself, Chet and our three boys.

We are very hospitable to what you and your pets need are. If you have a very energetic Lab or puppy who needs daily walks and stimulation, or an older dog who may be hard of hearing, blind or is unable to go up & down stairs; we are fully capable of accommodating to what your pet pets needs are.

We have a fully fenced in yard - front and back. Each area can be closed off, so you don’t have to worry that your Husky will jump the front fence or your small 11 year old terrier will get trampled by the energetic 3 month old Great Dane. We make sure each dog/pet is matched up and playing with an appropriate playmate.

We always feed pets separately as well as give treats and bones.

I am a stay at home mom, so your fur baby will have someone around 8 plus hours a day. We try to go for walks daily & even take trips to local parks. Your dog, cat or small critter will love staying with us. It will be a home away from home...pulse maybe some extra treats!
