Hi! Josh and I live here in Grand Lake and would love to watch your pet! To dispel any confusion, you are likely to text and see and meet Josh because he works from home. Unfortunately we can't change our rover name to include both of us! We do have a 3 and a 5 year old, so we only can take pets that don't mind a little extra kid love. As far as experience, we both had dogs growing up in addition to chickens, and other pets. We've watched MANY friend's pets, including my (Erica) old roommates dog and cat when she would be gone for 3-6 weeks at a time. If you're in need of someone to take your dog (or other pet?) running/walking/overnight, we would be honored to have the privilege! We don't currently have any pets, so Rover lets us get our dog fix! We currently don't have a fenced yard, but live in a very quiet neighborhood and are happy to have an excuse to get out on some local trails with a pup!

They were awesome! Very flexible on drop-off/pick-up times, even met me at locations that worked better for me. Would definitely book again next time I’m back in the area!

Wonderful people we found to watch our old pup Carlton while we adventured in RMNP. Great family very flexible and easy going. It was great getting photos of our pup having a fun time with them while we were searching for moose and chasing waterfalls. Highly recommend!

Schedule

My husband is currently a stay at home dad and local pastor her in Grand Lake, and we have two young kids, so we spend a lot of time outside, hiking, going to the beach, or just playing in the yard. We are happy to have a new bestie to keep us company on our outings. We are pretty flexible, and home for naps every day, so can probably make something work as long as you or your pup doesn’t mind kiddos!

A typical day

We’re an outdoor family, so everyday we’re spending as much time as we can outside in the park or on the trail or walking/running downtown. We bring along the pets we dog sit of course, which makes it even more fun! In the past, we've loved hiking, canoeing, and even downhill skiing and sledding with the dog's we've dog sat. Also, we're experts at the Chuckit, thanks to Erica's old roommates golden lab mix. :)
