House Sitting Oak Creek

About: Having been a dog lover since childhood, I’ve always had dog sitting gigs for a side hustle. I also managed a professional boarding kennel for 5 years where I learned to care for pets of all sizes, personalities and needs. The great outdoors are my life, and I have grown into a passion hunting dogs, and have spent the last 4 years training my Labrador retriever. I have two dogs of my own, West, my four year old trusty hunting black Labrador, and Tilly a nine year old German Shepherd mix. I’m mostly available on weekends (Friday-Sunday), but depending on your dog’s daily needs, I can be flexible. I live in Oak Creek, but work in Steamboat Springs at a very dog friendly environment. I ensure your pet gets the basic care they need, plus extra love, photos, and time outside. I am flexible on whether you want me to stay in your home, or in mine, again depending on the specific pet’s needs and location.

“I reached out to Lora because our original sitter had canceled last minute. She was very responsive and flexible, and we booked it. Despite our dogs being a bit crazy the day she came-because we were finishing packing- she handled it really well. An hour after we left, she texted me and said they had calmed down. She did awesome- she walked and hiked them everyday, and they were happy and exhausted. I think she took amazing care of them, and updated me throughout. They were obsessed with her! I am so grateful to have had Lora be our pet sitter, and I do hope we can work together for another booking again.”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and while I haven’t had a dog of my own, I’ve volunteered at the Humane Society and take pet care seriously. I bring genuine affection, attention to detail, and a calm, reliable presence—this isn’t just a side gig for me, it’s something I truly enjoy. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I enjoy making space in my routine to give pets the attention and care they deserve. I care for pets like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their usual routines, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and always keep their space clean and calm. Whether I’m in your home or mine, their well-being is my top priority.

About: I am a responsible, hard-working young adult with a work schedule that can be adjusted to accommodate your furry-friend's needs. I have owned pets my entire life, and have been pet-sitting for family, friends, and neighbors since I was a kid. Additionally, I have a decade of experience working with horses and in/around farms. Have some large babies that need caring for while you're away? Let me give you the peace of mind knowing they're in knowledgeable and capable hands. Contact directly for rates involving livestock and farm animals! I work an average 8-hour work day with 2-3 days off per week, depending on scheduling needs. I am available for early morning walks, potty breaks, feedings, etc., as well as afterwork exercise. The timing of my 8-hours of work can be flexible through-out the day and can be adjusted based on your pet's needs. Mid-day walks/bathroom breaks can potentially be accommodated based on location and proximity to my work. NOTICE: UNAVAILABLE JUNE 7-28 I am very good at following instructions and ensuring that your pet's day-to-day needs are always met. I am responsible and clean, ensuring to always leave the space I occupy in a similar manner to how I found it. If there are any issues with the animal or home, I always contact the owner promptly and communicate clearly about the situation. For large animals and livestock, I perform a once over of the animals each morning and ensure to take note of anything abnormal physically or behaviorally.

“Perrie did a fantastic job. Caring and loving with my 17+ year old Westie. Perrie was also on time and followed all my directions regarding medication, feeding and walks.”

About: I love taking care of all animals: dogs, cats, birds, etc As a steamboat local I have a deep love for our home, local wildlife, and furry family members. I’ve also been raised on a sustainability mindset, mindful of electricity, water, and waste as it impacts our community. I often care for the pets of local friends of many years but am keen to make new friends (furry or not!). I prioritize keeping them engaged through play time and exercise (spring creek is my favorite trail to take pups on) I pride myself on patience, especially the youngsters, and am always happy to keep up with training programs I’ve also seen several cats and dogs through the end of their lives, and emphasize the importance of their comfort, as they’re all kittens/puppies/young at heart and deserve the attention to keep them feeling that way. With my current transition through my marine biology career, I’ve got loads of free time and am able to prioritize the needs of any pets that are letting their owners enjoying well deserved holidays! I have my own car so I am able commute to take care of any that need and bring them on the best local adventures. I live out of town, giving a pup a chance to enjoy the freedom of country life, on or off leash. My own family dog, a border collie named Millie, loves new friends (she was the one comforting other pups during her time in shelter life) and is always happy to show them around the rural neighborhood. We have a closed garage and lockable doggy door for safety at night. And a comfortable living area with adjustable temperature for any pups sleeping crates. Though if they are partial to snuggling, pups are always welcome to night time cuddles.

About: First, I live in Craig, but willing to try to make pickups work in Steamboat, meeting halfway or we travel for the gym often, so please don't hesitate to reach out to discuss. We have a large yard that is great for active dogs. There is always an adult in the house to watch/care for your pup, my mother in law lives with us, Mark is home often and we have 2 kids, ages 10 and 12. I enjoy being around dogs, and feel comfortable dealing with some simple behavior issues. I am very specific with my dog and willing to be as specific with yours if needed. I am active and can give walks daily. Please don't hesitate to let me know if any special needs and I'll do my best to be accommodating. I am active lifestyle and so going on walks and waking up early are part of my normal process. I am willing to work with any situation as best I can. I maintain control of situations and always attentive to behaviors or signs of fear or aggression to make sure it is addressed before any issues arise. I used to train horses when I was younger so the patience and consistency is something I've grown up with towards animals.

“Kayleen was very professional. She came before her sit and reviewed everything with us and we felt confident. When we got back home we could not even tell she had been here. Everything was in its place and clean. Great sit.”

About: ⚠️ SUMMER WARNING — This Is Important All the inside couch time they want! Your pup is treated as my own. As temperatures rise, the difference between in-home care and a boarding facility becomes a serious safety concern. Your dog will NEVER be left outside in the heat here. No overcrowded outdoor cages. No risk of overheating. No tension from being packed in with unfamiliar dogs that can lead to fights, stress, or injury. Just a cool, comfortable home with someone who genuinely cares ABOUT ME Your dog isn’t a reservation and source of $$. They’re family. I offer in-home boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and dog walking — all with one simple guarantee: your dog gets the same love, attention, and care I give my own sweet Jazzy Belle. I’ve created a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet is truly treated as part of our home — not just another booking. DOG BOARDING (In My Home) I take one dog at a time — or up to three from the same family. That’s it. Your dog has my full attention, always. Never left alone. I follow your dog’s existing routine as closely as possible, because consistency is comfort. But we also go the extra mile — we cook fresh, wholesome meals for our girl Jazzy and are happy to do the same for your pup. Think home-cooked rice, air-fried sweet potatoes, and canned tuna — real food made with care. Prefer to keep your dog on their normal diet? No problem at all. You’ll receive regular updates throughout the stay so you never have to wonder — just relax knowing your dog is safe, loved, and living their best life inside a real home not outside in cages and penned up. DOG DAYCARE Calm, structured, and attentive — modeled after your dog’s routine at home. Whether it’s their first time away or they’re a regular, your dog gets focused one-on-one care, positive interaction, and a relaxed, comfortable pace. No chaos. No crowds. Just good company. DROP-IN VISITS (At Your Home) Your home, your rules — I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and companionship. I treat your space with complete respect and keep you updated every step of the way so you always feel at ease. DOG WALKING Safety and reliability, every single walk. I match your dog’s pace and comfort level, stay alert to surroundings, and keep a calm, steady energy. Every outing is a good one. FRESH FOOD OPTIONS — What Makes Me Different Most boarders hand your dog a scoop of dry kibble. Here, they have options: • Cooked white rice — gentle on digestion, perfect for sensitive stomachs • Air-fried sweet potatoes — nutrient-rich, naturally sweet, zero additives • Canned tuna — lean protein that dogs absolutely love • Kibble blend available — mix fresh food with their regular diet for an easy transition • Your diet, fully honored — prefer to keep them on their normal food? Done. No pressure, ever. WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE ME OVER BOARDING FACILITIES • Only 1 dog (or 1 family) at a time — your dog is never competing for attention • A real home environment — not a kennel, not a cage, not a facility • Your dog will NEVER be left outside in summer heat • No overcrowding means zero risk of dog fights or stress • Fresh home-cooked meals available — not just a bag of kibble • Routine-based care that keeps dogs calm and comfortable • Regular photo and message updates so you always feel connected • Every dog is treated the way I’d want someone to care for my Jazzy Belle FOR FIRST-TIME ROVER USERS I completely understand the nerves — handing your dog off to someone new is a big deal. I want you to feel confident from the very first message. I communicate openly, follow your instructions carefully, and treat your pet like my own. Your peace of mind matters just as much as your dog’s comfort, and I work hard to earn both.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Because I work remotely as a Realtor and property manager, I don’t need to leave the house while boarding. I’m home 100% of the day, allowing for consistent supervision, regular walks, feeding on schedule, and plenty of attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, not around it. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust to each dog’s needs, and I’m also available for pickup and drop-off if needed. We’re a warm, cozy, dog-loving household and look forward to welcoming you and your best friend into our home. DOG BOARDING (IN MY HOME) I treat every dog the same way I would want someone to care for my sweet Jazzy Belle. For first-time Rover users, I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog in someone else’s home. I follow your feeding, walking, and rest schedule as closely as possible, since routine helps reduce anxiety and keeps dogs comfortable in a new environment. Your dog will be closely supervised, loved, and treated like part of our family. I’m always happy to provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. DOG DAYCARE If this is your first time using Rover, you can feel confident knowing your dog will receive calm, attentive care in a safe, supervised environment. I stick to your dog’s normal routine as much as possible because consistency helps dogs relax—even during short stays. Your dog will get positive interaction, structured activity, and plenty of attention, just like I give my own. DROP-IN VISITS (AT YOUR HOME) I know it can feel stressful having someone care for your pet in your home, especially if you’re new to Rover. I treat your home and your pets with the same respect and care I expect for my own. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and companionship, and I’m happy to send updates so you know your pet is safe and comfortable. DOG WALKING For first-time Rover users, safety and reliability are always my top priorities. Walks are done calmly and carefully, based on your dog’s pace, comfort level, and routine. I pay close attention to leash handling, surroundings, and your dog’s needs so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands—even when you’re not home.
