Pet Sitting in Montrose

“Megan took great care of my dog while I was away. Very happy with communication and attention to the pet. No issues/complaints, would recommend & use again in the future.”

James S.

“Karissa was great with the furbabies. She made sure when she came she seeked out each kitty to give them attention. She even broke through our non-social diva. When we returned home they were excited to see us and there was no panic in their demeanor like we have seen in the past when we have left them. We feel very comfortable leaving our little family in Karissa's care. AND she even picked up our mail!”

Shellie K.

“Mikaela was great and provided thoughtful care for my two cats over the holiday weekend. I was nervous about leaving them home alone, but Mikaela’s updates each day let me know they were in good hands😀”

Crystal S.

“Katy was great to my girls! Great to have peace of mind that my pups are well taken care of while across the country. Hoping to book Katy again soon!”

Meganne R.

“Megan is a total sweetheart and I felt totally secure leaving my cats in her hands during my vacation. I came home to healthy, happy babies and that's all I could ask for.”

Ashley O.

“We visited Montrose for two weeks and needed someone to check on our two tiny old dogs while we were out hiking, etc. We found Sandi on Rover and she was just what we needed—reliable and kind to our two old girls. We would definitely use her again.”

Jean O.

“Elen was fantastic! Anyone who snuggles on the floor with Jax gets 5 stars in my book. She was great keeping us posted on how he was doing while we were gone and even gave us great tips on where to visit in the area. We will definitely reach out if we are ever in the area again.”

Erikka P.

“Jessica was great at communicating and took great care of both our cats and horses, everyone was happy when we got back!”

Grace E.

“Jennifer always takes such great care of the animals. She is very flexible and always treats the animals like her own. Will definitely use again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of homes and animals for nearly 3 years. Whether it’s 3 weeks or just for a weekend I’m happy to make sure your pets are happy and well taken care of. From dogs to goats. I cannot board animals in my home due to HOA restrictions I currently have a full time job and do this on the side. I do what is needed to keep you pets happy and healthy. Even if it means giving up a lunch break to take them on a walk. You can rest assured your home will be taken care of and your pets happy. You will never come back to an unclean home. I do what it takes to make your pets comfortable which includes a home visit with you and your pets to make you and them feel comfortable.

“Brooke and Steven were so so great!! Victoria (my pup) was brought home just a few days prior and was feeling a bit anxious. They did everything in their power to make her feel comfortable and at ease and were more than accommodating with my requests. They sent pictures and updates, giving me peace of mind and were genuine life savers! So grateful for them and their services and will definitely be contacting them for any future needs!”

About: We're a a couple in our 40s, both working professionals in Montrose. We have four year old daughter and a seven year old chocolate lab mix who are both friendly, energetic, curious and cuddly. We are looking to help out others in the area who need dog care, since we know how difficult it can be to find good reliable people to watch our pup. We live just south of town with four acres and direct access to public land, perfect for dogs to run around and play in. We also are very active and love taking our pup out for hikes, walks, cross country skiing, fetch, swims, and playtime, and would be happy to bring yours along as well. We hope to meet you and your pup soon! While we both work full-time, we do have flexibility for telework, and breaks throughout the day to take your dog out. We are home full time evenings and weekends. We have a friendly dog who is very social to run and play with your dog. We are comfortable walking dogs on or off leash depending on what your dog is comfortable with.

About: I grew up on a ranch in Southern Colorado, where my love for animals began. I am passionate about caring for animals and making them feel loved and comfortable. I have helped find animals their forever homes, volunteered at shelters and am a member of many rescue groups. I have experience caring for puppies to seniors, some that need extra help walking, extra affection due to stress/anxiety and some who are incontinent and need doggy diapers, or who have special needs. I have experience in medication administration and am knowledgeable about all dog stages of life. My home is clean, quiet and relaxing. Your dogs happiness and safety while staying with me is my number one priority. As a stay at home mom, I can guarantee you peace of mind in knowing that your pets will get a lot of attention, care and love. Please let me know what you and your pet's needs are, and I will do my best to accommodate. As a life long pet owner, your pet will be just as spoiled as mine. They will be able to roam the house freely, are allowed on furniture and always have fresh water. I can provide a lickimat (a grooved mat that encourages the act of licking) that is topped with all natural, organic peanut butter or organic pumpkin to keep your pup satisfied and entertained. I will strictly follow pet owner instructions.

“She did great with our cat!”

About: Lifetime pet owner with a passion for animals, ready to spoil your four-legged friends! Scroll to the bottom to learn more about me! In the meantime, here are some points on how I aim to take the utmost care of your pets. ⬇️ HOUSE SITTING: 🏡 Your pets should hardly notice you’re missing! They will be treated as my own. 💛 🏡 YEARS of experience house & ranch sitting. Ask for references! 🏡 Comfortable with complex routines involving pets & livestock. (i.e. dogs, cats, horses, cattle, chickens, goats, pigs, rabbits, working dogs, etc…) 🏡 The goal is for you to return to a clean home & healthy, happy pets! 🏡 Will review a list of questions prior to your departure covering pets, livestock, chores, & home maintenance! Attention to these details are important! (i.e. vet info, trash day, water shut-off, etc...) 🏡 IF staying overnight, all linens, trash, dishes, etc.. will be cleaned and replaced prior to your return! No one wants to clean when they get home from a trip. 🏡 NEVER will I ask to bring my pets or someone else to your home. DOG WALKING: 🐶 Happy to walk BIG or little dogs! They don’t need perfect leash manners. 🐶 Let’s go for a 30 min free “consultation” walk. Make sure it’s a good fit! 🐶 Willing to follow any training protocols you currently have in place. 🐶 Have my own sturdy leashes or can use yours, whichever is preferred! 🐶 Will only walk one client’s dog(s) at a time. 🐶 Very conscious of our surroundings to avoid conflict with other passing people, dogs, wildlife, bicycles, etc… Also carry deterrent spray! 🐶 No “lolly-gaggin” here! Let's get those pups out the door asap to maximize walk time! 🐶 During the walk, happy to keep them moving to burn some energy -but also get some sniffing in as that provides great mental stimulation! DROP-IN VISITS: 👋 In Montrose, available up to 3x’s per day. 👋Outside of Montrose (20+ mins), available 1x - 2x per day. 👋Weekdays & Weekends -my timing is flexible! 👋 Dedicated to quickly doing chores & MOSTLY making your pets feel special! 👋 The ONLY reason I’ll have my phone out is to send cute update pics. 📸 BOARDING & DOGGY DAY CARE: ❗️Will resume offering this in the future, when Boogie has recovered from spay surgery and Leuko is a little older. Stay tuned! About Me: I've always had a passion for animals, and was raised with dogs, cats, horses, pigs, goats, cows, chickens, birds, fish, hamsters, etc... Through high-school I worked for a horse boarding facility cleaning stalls, exercising horses, and ensuring diet & blanketing protocols were followed with precise detail. After high-school, I spent four years wrangling for guest ranches in the summer, packing for outfitters in the fall, and house sitting during the off seasons! All this to say, I have met and cared for a huge variety of animals under various circumstances. I keep a watchful eye out for illness or injury, and feel confident in my responses to emergency situations. I'm not afraid to ask questions when I'm unsure, either! I take pride in following your routine precisely, sharing updates frequently, and giving you the greatest peace of mind that your pets, plants, & home are in good hands while you're away. Currently I'm studying for my Bachelor's degree, full-time via online courses. This means I will not leave your pets for extended periods while boarding, have flexibility to schedule visits that best suit your pet's needs, and can "work from your home" while housesitting if need be. I have a lot of experience with senior pet care, and am confident in my ability to keep your puppy's training on track while you're away! Please reach out with any questions, I'd love to discuss your situation more and see if we'd be a good fit! My schedule is flexible, as I'm a full-time student working on earning my Bachelor's degree online from home. Meaning, I can adjust my schedule to suit your pet’s needs! My goal is to take the utmost care to follow all routines and directions! Plus, strive to keep your pets healthy and home tidy! I will watch for physical injuries, monitor their "excrements" for signs of illness, and watch for conditions across ALL your pets / livestock including: ear infections, pink-eye, bloat, colic, abscesses, UTI's, etc... In addition to keeping an eye on pet health, I take watching for property issues like broken fences, leaking pipes, strange appliance noises, etc… seriously as well! I want to make sure your home is the way you left it, if not better! I’m fine with lengthy ranch routines morning and night. Again if questions arise or illness or injury is suspected in any of your animals --I will reach out with photos right away. I do have experience navigating small & large animal emergencies and react quickly to these situations!

“Dario is great. He is responsible, intelligent, sane and loved my kitties. He showed up on time and did exactly what I asked him to do and what more can you ask for? Elaine”

Elaine E.

“Shawn was fantastic! He took the time to meet the dogs beforehand and all the drop-ins went great. Would recommend.”

About: I have been a cat mom my whole life and a dog auntie for years. I love all animals like they are my own. I am that kind of person who says hello to a person’s dog first before ever saying hi to their owner! I am currently working at the Cancer Center in town. So I’m centrally available for afternoon dog walks, or checking in on your cats when you’re away on vacation. I understand every pet is different and is someone’s family member. I promise to treat your fur baby the way I would want someone to treat mine.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, so I’ve worked with puppies to adults to elderly dogs. I have dog-sitted for others, along with experience from my own pets, which included: play-time, a walk, and feeding. I am currently available on weekdays and Saturdays, including night-time visits. I cannot do overnight visits, but I can do a late-night check-in and follow-up in the morning. I try to replicate a pet's routine as closely as possible, as if you were there! Please give me all the information that is necessary, so I can give your pet the loving care they deserve!

About: Experienced puppy and senior dog care growing up, now own a reactive rescue. (I know the struggles). I will keep my reactive ESA at home for all pets' safety and comfort. I've administered oral (I know a trick for smart dogs that will pick the pill out of a sandwich) and eye medications. I've cared for a multitude of different types of critters including big and strong dogs, dogs dealing with incontinence (I can apply dog diapers), elderly and adult dogs, cats, fish tanks, and rabbits. I have experience using an E-collar mini-educator, if that is what you normally use. Able to groom or bathe for an additional cost, given the proper space and materials. Also available for plant care upon request. I have over 30 well-established plants under my care at home! With proper respect, I care for my own dog first and my clients' pets come second (with plenty of love). I would love to get to meet your furry family members and care for them in the time in between caring for my own ESA Due to my housing restrictions of living in an apartment, I offer drop-in visits at your home as well as walks/adventures. I have an entire back seat with a dog safe waterproof hammock/seat cover and pet seatbelts if we agree on going for adventures or walks around places other than your home. Highly respectful for other peoples' homes and property.
