Dog lover, cuddles guaranteed

Pet care experience

I've taken care of pets since I was in high school and have grown up around animals my whole life. I even worked for a private dog-running company in Denver and ran/walked nearly every kind of dog. Now, my partner Rob and I watch dogs at our house and I volunteer a few hours a week at a miniature horse rescue to get more animal time. If your dog needs anything special or has any particular likes, let me know! I'm always happy to accommodate a furry friend.

Al, Rob and Benny are amazing and I definitely will work with them again! My pup is pretty shy and slow to warm up to most strangers but I could tell she really liked them and felt so comfortable in their home. Al and Rob are great communicators, sent adorable pics of my girl and were so kind and flexible when I had flight delays back home. I had such peace of mind leaving my pup with them, and that’s the absolute best when traveling! Thank you so much!

Al was soooo great. Really can’t say enough good things about her, Rob and Bennie. They were able to take us somewhat last minute and took such good care of our dog Stan. Safe to say we found our new go-to sitter!

Al and Rob are conscientious, friendly and great communicators,. Pip, my Whippet, enjoys staying with them. Highly recommend them although it means sometimes they may be booked when I'm looking :).
