Pet care experience

Your pet’s home away from home.

Our entire family will be taking care of your dog(s). We walk and hike every day but also enjoy a relaxing home, so we like dogs of all energy levels. Combined we have 50+ years of experience growing up, sitting, and living with dogs. Our young adult son Chris will also care for your dog. He has repeat customers and referrals as well. Our entire family works from home. Most of us will be home every day with at least one of us to be with your dog 24/7. We live in a very dog-friendly home. We have a spacious fenced in yard with a doggie door and a large house to explore and play in. We have a crate, a doggie bed, and toys. If appropriate, your dog is allowed in our bed, on couches, and in most rooms. We live clean and decluttered. We will house sit as a couple which is a great benefit to you. We have a fantastic reputation as house sitters.

Paula & Rich are THE BEST. They were so amazing from our first meeting through our goodbye. My dogs were in the best hands. They were so responsive in setting up everything, and routinely updated us every day with multiple pictures and videos. It is so obvious they LOVE dogs and dogs love them back! we were genuinely convinced our pups would never want to come home! They loved them so hard, snuggled and pet them constantly, and spoiled them with multiple walks and hikes a day. They also got the pups new tennis balls to chase around. I knew my dogs were so safe in their hands. If our dogs could talk, they would be calling Paula & Rich to pick them up for another visit. We cannot wait to use them again!

Paula and Rich are unbelievable with their care. Don't have words to explain how great they are with our Primo. Above and beyond, the best!

After just a day with Paula and Rich, I was sure my dog would never want to come home. Koda is usually slow to warm up to people and be comfortable and on day 1 she was in full cuddle mode with these two and their active life is perfect for getting out on walks. They send a ton of pictures and communicate a ton which really helps me feel at ease and see really clearly that Koda was having an incredible time. They gave her so much of their time and clearly really love caring for dogs. I felt so much relief and ease knowing she was in their care. This was our first visit and Koda will for sure be back!

Paula and Rich. They will make you and your dog feel like you’re their favorite! I truly believe every pupper they get in their care, is their favorite. First time boarding through this app, I met a few people prior to Paula and Rich, but I met them and knew it would be a good puppy retreat while I was away for a week . I have an English bulldog so that tells you my 1 year old is high maintenance. They were happy to step up and do whatever Brutus needed ! Pictures and videos every day, I never worried how Brutus was doing because I saw how happy he was throughout the day . Highly recommend and will 100% be using them again when needed.

Paula and Rich were above and beyond taking care of Sheldon. Lots of treats, yard time and walks. Thier updates were even better and kept me well informed of Sheldon's daily activities. He was a happy pup coming back home. Would definitely recommend them.

Safety, trust & environment

Our yard has a six foot fence that keeps your dog free to roam around our spacious yard. We do stay outside with smaller dogs when they are outside to ensure their utmost safety.

A typical day

We enjoy taking dogs on hikes, rain or snow, as we are in walking distance to the Ridgeline Access Trail. Bring your dog toys and you will see members of the family regularly wrestle with your puppy. Cuddling is a favorite activity and in the evening, when we go to sleep, and in the morning, or pretty much anytime, your pup will know that they are a member of the family.

We would love to know what commands your fur baby knows. As we hike and walk in the neighborhood, it allows us to avoid any issues and provide consistency. In case of an emergency, please let us know your preferred method of contact and preferred vet clinic. We will contact you ASAP if there’s an issue. If needed and no preferred vet provided, we will take your pet to Brooklyn Vet Clinic in Castle Rock. You’ll have to tell us if you have strict rules about where dogs can sit. We will do our best not to spoil them by letting them on couches or beds. Let us know if your dog is anxious or if there is any possibility your dog will bite. We are good with all breeds with a slight preference for working breeds as we are active.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
