Dog Boarding in Monument

I have had a dog for six years (have raised him since he was a puppy). I potty trained him quickly on my own. I have kept my dog well socialized by visiting puppy playdates and taking him for many walks and romps in the park. I have dog sat many dogs over the last few years as well. I love to play with dogs and love on them. I am very organized and my communication is quick. I am reliable and responsible. I have a fenced in back yard and many dog toys and pet beds. If you have an outside dog, we have a nice quiet neighborhood, so he/she would be safe in our fully fenced yard. If you have an indoor dog, we have plenty of pet beds to keep him/her comfortable! I work from home and have a 4-year-old who loves dogs. He is very good about leaving dogs alone if I tell him to (if you're worried that your dog doesn't do well around children). I am experienced working with dogs with food allergies, since my own dog has special dog food the vet requires him to eat. I am also certified in Pet First Aid and CPR (I renew my certificate every 2 years). I would love to have the chance to watch over your precious canine!

My husband and I both grew up around animals. We have 2 Golden Retrievers and a couple cats. Our Goldens are ages 6 and 10 and are extremely friendly. Our pets are our babies. We like to spend our time with our pets hiking and being outdoors. We love animals and are excited to take care of new dogs.

It is important to have a meet-and-greet so our pets can meet each other to ensure they get along. Since we also have cats, it's important that any dog that stays with us is cat friendly.

My husband and I both have full-time jobs. We are home all day on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

We require a kennel for your pet's comfort. Dogs can adapt more easily to strange surroundings with a familiar "security blanket", their crate.

We have a house located in Old Farm with a backyard for the dogs and a park right down the street. We play fetch at the park down the street and love to bring our dogs out for walks. We'd love to meet your dog(s)!

We hope you pick us to take care of your dog(s).

Hello! My name is Shanna, and my husband and I have a 75 pound Golden Retriever named Sadie. She is seven years old and is the happiest and friendliest dog. She would love to have friends over to play with. My husband and I live in a 5 bedroom home in Northeast Colorado Springs. We have a fenced in yard, and we live very close to several parks. We enjoy walking multiple times a day. My husband and I both work for public schools, so during the summer months we will be home all day everyday. I work about 10 minutes away so I can come home and check on the dogs during the day. Your dog will be in constant company. Growing up, we always had at least one dog, and now with my siblings having dogs, when we get together there are five dogs under one roof. My husband and I share a love for dogs, and we look forward to meeting and spoiling more dogs. I have been my friends' preferred dog sitter for years.

Why I love dog sitting

I have been a dog lover my whole life. There is something about dogs that makes me happy. There is nothing more special than coming home to a dog who greets you at the door with kisses. My mom is an animal lover, and growing up we had dogs, turtles, birds, and rabbits.

About my yard

Yes, I have a nice sized yard for the dogs. The yard is fenced in, and the backyard does have a porch as well as a grassy area for the dogs to do their business. It is a great area for the dogs to play, but I also live very close to several parks, and that is where I will take your dog to the park to play and run.

My experience administering medication

Yes, as long as I am given specific instructions.

Thank you, thank you, thank you dog families for all your patronage through the years! I have hung up my dog walking leash but I am keeping my account open so I can keep in touch with all of you. Please drop me a note about your pups once in a while. :) I promise there are many wonderful and qualified sitters and walkers on this sight, it will be easy to find a new one that will love and take care of your babies as well as I did.

There isn't a better job than spending time with dogs! I miss each and everyone of them, spending time with them wasn't really work. Once again, thank you, thank you, thank you. Kiss all those babies for me.

I have been a Rover sitter since March 2016 and love welcoming dogs into my home. My home is warm and pet-friendly with a spacious securely-fenced yard for your dog to enjoy. My yard backs to a walking trail and park. I have fostered approximately 25 dogs rescued from puppy mills and I am experienced in caring for dogs with special needs (seizure disorders, hearing and vision loss, diabetes, etc.). I recently lost my 16 year old Westie to cancer and adopted a sweet and friendly young terrier mix named Roscoe. He loves to play with other dogs.

I understand how important it is for your dog to feel loved when you are away. I promise to send you photos and give your dog loads of love and attention. I will care for your dogs as if they were my own. I prefer to watch only 1 or 2 dogs at a time.

I work from home and my dog would love a buddy to play with. I will make sure that your dog gets walks, playtime, potty breaks, and attention.

I am available to host dogs who are good natured and potty trained. For the safety of all, I can't accept dogs with food aggression, leash aggression, or those with diarrhea or other contagious diseases.

I especially enjoy caring for older pets. Come by for a meet and greet!

P.S. My overnight rate is for 24 hours of care. A Saturday morning drop off and Sunday evening pickup would be one overnight plus one day of boarding. Thank you!

12 years pet sitting experience in DC, TX and now the Springs. I started in college because I missed my pet family at home.

" A Dogs Tail Never Lies"

Retired middle-age couple in good health will dog-sit in our home. Low-key household. Prefer small dogs (under 15 pounds). Our sweet toy poodle, Flossy, passed away on 10/4/18. We will always hold her in our hearts.

Will walk your dog regularly. Dogs must be potty-trained, reasonably well-behaved and able to navigate stairs. Aggressive dogs not accepted. Dogs will sleep in a kennel at night indoors or in gated laundry room. We live in a pleasant, safe residential neighborhood near Briargate. No children in the home. Large fenced-in back yard. Central A/C. I am home during the day except for running errands and occasional short evenings out. We have been dog sitting through Rover for about 3 years. I usually do not take more than 2 dogs at a time. Experienced with most small breeds.

Hello, my name is Rachael. I am a stay at home mom with 3 teenagers. We are all dog lovers. I have had dogs for most of my life. I have lots of experience with caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds and stages of life. I have experience with administering medications and wound care. I have experience with dog training and breeding. I have experience with fostering and training service dogs with Angel Service Dogs. I am also home full time. I live in a nice neighborhood with a large, fenced yard and access to parks and lots of trails. My kids are also experienced with caring for and training dogs. We currently have 1 dog named Trouble. He is a 7 yr old maltese/poodle mix. He is very well trained and gets along well with other dogs.

We are a dog loving family. We have had our own dogs over a 20 years period. We also started fostering dogs through the National Mill Dog Rescue. One of them with special needs won our heart and we adopted him. He had diabetes and a heart condition. We also have had dogs with different allergies. The whole family; therefore, has had experience with special needs dogs, including giving oral medications, shots for diabetes, and dealing with dietary needs. We have one sweet dog right now and she goes on at least 3 walks a day, totaling 3 to 5 miles. She loves to play and lounge around with other dogs. Dogs are a part of the family and are allowed on furniture and beds. We even have stairs for the little dogs who can't get up on their own. We will treat your pets as well as our own with lots of TLC, play time, walks, cuddles, belly rubs and back scratches. We want the pets and you to feel that this is their Home Away From Home.
