Here to help your pets, gladly!

Pet care experience

I'm happy to help you out and provide a fun, positive, healthy, and SAFE experience for your pets! I'll cater to your dog's needs, remembering that I am there for the animal. I have no trouble including your preferred vocabulary and leash habits. In the home, I strive to leave your space cleaner than I found it. I have a great love and soft spot for dogs. Growing up, I had goldens and an Australian shepherd. I currently do not own a dog, but have many dog friends. My dog care before Rover included house sitting for the easy and aged Border Collie, Sid on his working farm with his Rat Terroir friend Tugger. There was little Cooper who had some health issues on a walk and our trip to the vet helped extend his lovely life. His parents now have Lena (see photos). And of course, there's Peanut, the not-very-social Corgi with a loud vocabulary who considers me his litter mate. He visits when he needs to lose a few pounds. Hyper labs and problematic terriers, it doesn't really matter, I take it all in stride. I am not allowed to have pets where I live, so generally no boarding, however some well-behaved exceptions may apply. I own and operate Blue Ribbon Farm in Longmont with my family which helps keep my schedule flexible. During the spring I also coach lacrosse at Alexander Dawson School in Lafayette. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend!

Charlie loves animals and they love him! I really enjoyed meeting Charlie in our meet-and-greet, and so did my usually very pessimistic cat! He stayed at our home while I was away on a business trip and sent the best updates, videos and pictures of our furry family. This made being away so much easier, plus the pics made me smile. He needed to ensure the older cat got his medication and play/go for walks with the dog. He did all of that and more - even checked in to ensure everything was ok when I got home. If I could give six stars to Charlie I definitely would!

Charlie was fantastic with our finicky rescue kitty and our Newfie mix dog. Sent lots of pics so I could see how happy they were. Great communication. Came home to a clean house & happy critters! Such a relief when you travel a lot for business. Would definitely recommend!
