Paws or claws - I’m here for them

Pet care experience

I grew up on a ranch, where puppies were a very common experience. As were many other baby animals! I’ve administered training, medication, and daily rituals since then to now. (I have extensive experience with training, and handling highly trained guard dogs - so if I know how you like your pet to be handled, I am more than capable! As well as being able to continue training and puppy help while you are away!) I stay very aware of my surroundings when dog walking, as my own dogs love to get antsy with loud dogs through fences, and can pull. I’m very patient with loud, hyper, excited animals. Again, my boys take the trophy there! however, I am also extremely patient with older or more shy pets. I am more than happy to sit on the floor and wait for them to be ready to go. Their happiness is my job. I can’t wait to meet your babies and help you feel safe and secure while you are away :) I am available full-time! I would love to get permanent long-term families to get to know and care for their pets. However, I am more than happy to meet new for babies or scaly tails and care for them as well. Long-term visits, short term care, or daily needs are my specialty! I am here to make sure you have one less stress on your plate; worrying about your babies at home while you are away. We (my husband and I) have a high fenced, private yard. A portion of it is rocked, and the other is set with beautiful turf. Our boys love to run around and play! We have a quiet, secure neighborhood. Where we walk the boys freely and happily and have never had to worry. Both of my male dogs get along with small and large dogs! They love having visitors. If your baby doesn’t like other dogs, we have a full basement, or spare room where we can keep them happy and separate. We have plenty of experience keeping them separate from other dogs or cats who don’t get along as well. We have a strict 20 minute rule. Our dogs will go into our bedroom. So that our visitors can come out and get the love and attention they need. Overnight, me or my husband will sleep in the basement, or room with our visitor so that they do not feel lonely! We are here for your pet

Shanae was pretty freakin fantastic. It was my first time using Rover so she was a good one to start out with. I even had an issue with the gate at my complex not working and she was a trooper and was able to get to my dog anyway. I highly recommend her!

Sharae was amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving my Cooper with her. You can tell she really enjoys what she does and she did everything she could to make him comfy and happy. She kept me updated with pictures and videos and I have to say I'm pretty sure my little guy had a blast! Thanks, Sharae and Bridger!

Sharae and Bridger did such an amazing job watching my very young and tiny pup over the holidays. They were very willing to work with my schedule and short notice inquiry. Their dogs were so good around my baby, and I felt very comfortable leaving her there. I would 100% recommend them to host your furry friends. Thanks so much guys!!!!

Leaving my four legged family member with Sharae and Bridger was hands down the most positive boarding experience of my life. They treated him like family, and took the most superb care of him. No regular boarding kennel can provide the safe, relaxed, constant attention that he received with them and their two super friendly dogs. Thanks again, guys!

Safety, trust & environment

Our private, fenced yard will be the perfect play place for visitors! A small, rocked area is perfect for sunbathing, while the main area is finished with comfy turf - perfect for playing and potty time! On colder days, we have a large upstairs area for cuddles, playing and relaxation. Two dog parks are within a 5 mile radius, and always ready with sweet playmates. We do prefer to go on an hour hike over a dog park. Our boys love the fresh, open air and new smells. Snoop especially loves having friends come visit. He enjoys wiggling his butt at them - showing off his toys - and slobbering. While Grecko also loves having visitors, we introduce him in the front yard, as he likes to play big boss. After a butt sniff or two, it's immediate love! He will play for hours and hours and LOVES to share his bed!

Information Sharae & Bridger A. would like to know about your pet

We have no breed or size preferences. Also, we are more than capable and happy to help with non furry critters! We have a box turtle ourselves - so reptile or farm type animal help is ok by us!! I like knowing anything I can to make your fur babies time easier. If they prefer a certain walk route or play toy.. if they will howl right once leaving.. do they love belly rubs? or prefer butt scratches? I am here or YOU and YOUR baby.

A typical day

Not only is there always a wide variety of stuffed animals and toys to play with and terrorize; we have a beautiful, quiet neighborhood with large grassy areas for lots of play time and walkies. Our boys love walking down to the Kum N Go (20 minute walk) and getting a biscuit from the clerks, I'm sure your pups will love it too! One of our cars is "dog ready", so we can easily take them to dog parks for free roaming, or on our regular hikes along Gold Camp or Red Rocks open space!
