Doggy Day Care In Old Colorado City

“Kim is great! My Cockapoo went right to her and had the best day. She is very caring and takes care of your dog like it is her own. I would highly recommend!”

“Meghann and Rachel provided such wonderful care for denali! He loved going there, and even came home brushed once just as a favor. We had to move, and Denali will definitely miss this family a lot.”

Elizabeth O.

“Laura did a great job with Leia. She was properly exhausted at the end of her days!”

Greg O.

“Sara is great! She is a good communicator, keeping you updated along the way during the visit and provides plenty of pictures! It’s such a pleasure to know your pet is in good hands and you can rest comfortably about their care!”

About: We nicknamed our home The Dachs Inn - a weenie wonderland! We’ve cared for Dachshunds for 15 years and specialize in meeting the unique needs of this breed, including dog ramps on our furniture and deck. Our home features a dog door with all-day access to a giant backyard for potty breaks, play time, sunbathing and squirrels!!! Plush dog beds are placed through the home and a giant sectional provides the perfect spot for cuddle time. Daily walks are provided, we even have a dog stroller for senior dogs or those dachshunds suffering from IVDD. I work remotely from home full time and, along with my retired husband, provide hourly drop-in care, play dates, overnight and extended boarding in our home. Additionally, I provide home visits and walking services to families located on the west side of Colorado Springs. Other locations throughout Colorado are considered on case-by-case request for extended care in your home (5 or more days). I have three dachshunds, ages 15, 10, and under 1 year. My dog-friendly home has a fenced back yard, we feed all visiting dogs separately, and can provide daily pictures of your baby’s activities. I can also provide regular weigh-ins, medications, and teeth brushing. I am very active and love going on long walks/hikes (up to three miles) upon request. While I prefer to host only smaller dogs in our home, I am open to all breeds for care at your home - including drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I kindly ask that all dogs are current on all vaccinations, including kennel cough. For medical emergencies, we are established at Westside Animal Hospital, The Animal Clinic of Woodland Park, and the Emergency Pet Center.

“Hally had two dogs in our booking, a young 1 year old and a 10 year old senior. She was able to handle both dogs needs. The dogs got walks, a trip to the park and some swimming in. Plenty of videos and pictures of the dog activies. Both dogs were happy and well cared for. Simply an outstanding dog sitter!”

“My quirky dog loved his stay here. He was super excited to go in when we pulled up to Laura's house on day 2 and 3 so I knew he had a great day.”

About: I grew up with a house full of animals, horses, birds, cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, etc. I love animals and would be thrilled to watch over yours! Growing up my mom also fostered all sorts of dogs, so I have experience with all shapes, sizes and temperaments. I work from home making my schedule pretty flexible to assist in your doggie caring needs. My pup Baldwin recently passed at almost 15yo and he was a cuddler extrodinaire - so if your pup has just been home alone and just needs some cuddles, my experience is not lacking. I only watch 1 dog at a time unless it’s 2 from the same household. I work from home so I am around all day M-F! During the hotter months I will walk the dogs early morning or late afternoon. I live near downtown Colorado Springs, I have a fenced yard, but the front fence is only about 3-4ft high. My home is only about 800sq feet but is very open.

“Mariah is an amazing dog-sitter!! She was very helpful with last minute booking. Paloma and my boy got along great. At the meet and greet she told us exactly how Zeus would be spending his day. She listened to all our concerns and information. Drop off and pick up were quick and simple. Her kiddos love and respect animals, I know Zeus got spoiled with attention. And lots of fun play time with his new friend Paloma! We will be booking with Mariah and Paloma again.”

“This was our first time using Rover. Sara was awesome and we will absolutely use her again next time we’re in the area! Incredibly quick to respond and excellent communication throughout the whole experience from meeting up beforehand and communications about the needed schedule flexibility on our end. She was on time for both meetings and her own dog is so very sweet. We’re so pleased they got along and Sara got them out and about on a beautiful day as well. Now we’re on a long drive home and our pup is actually sleeping in our car, something she never does, so we know she had a wonderful time playing with Sara’s dog. We’ll be using Sara again and passing her info along to friends that frequently visit the area as well. Thank you, Sara!”

Lori S.

“She is great! she accomodated us last minute and very friendly, sends picture of our toy poodle always. Surely will use her service again :)”

“Samantha was absolutely amazing. Our dog was very skittish when we dropped him off but Samantha made sure he felt safe and secure. I received the cutest updates of his progress during his visit. I would highly recommend Samantha!”

About: A few years ago I left the full-time workforce to homeschool my son during pandemic, and we started walking dogs and cat-sitting as a side project we could do together. We’ve had an absolute blast meeting so many wonderful pups and cats. Now he’s back to in-person school and I’m back to school as well, starting on my PhD! I intend to continue walking and sitting to help with those hefty tuition payments, and my son will continue to be involved outside of school hours! (He sometimes gets jealous when I visit our favorite dogs and cats without him 😂) Rover has been exactly what we needed at exactly the right time, and I’m so happy to spend my days out enjoying the Colorado sunshine, maybe listening to a podcast or audiobook while I enjoy some good trails or neighborhood walks and feed off the great energy that comes from a dog excited to go on a walk! We tend to do cat check-ins after dinner, which gives my son a good sense of responsibility when he has to help me go through the checklist of to-do’s each visit! Our other new pandemic animal project has been fostering with the Humane Society, and we have two wonderful “foster fails” of our own - a beautiful Ragdoll cat named Yoda and a spunky little Chihuahua mix named Cocoa Puff. We also have a few backyard chickens, and we continue to foster kittens and pups regularly, which is why right now we’re only open to walking and sitting; no boarding or day care. Our lives are filled with animals and we wouldn’t have it any other way! If you entrust us to your animals I can guarantee a high level of care. I take the responsibility seriously, and teach my son to as well. For dogs, we generally start with a walk around your neighborhood the first time or two just to get accustomed to the dogs (and let them get accustomed to us!); and then, with your permission, after a few neighborhood walks, we’d love to load your pup(s) into the car and hit our favorite local trails. Warning - they may (/will) get a bit dirty! On weekdays, I love to do longer dog walks while my son is in school. He’s completely happy to join in on walks after school or on weekends, but either our pace will be a bit slower (we love to geocache to make things a bit more interesting though!) or we’ll look for a playground so he can entertain himself and play with other kids midwalk while I do a few loop with the dogs. Cat check-ins are great for after dinner time in our schedule, but if you have more specific time needs, let me know and we’ll likely be able to make it work! One thing that is really difficult for us is anytime between 7:30pm and 7:30am. In a pinch, I can make it work; but those are generally sleep hours for my son, and I’m a single mama so we really shouldn’t commit to check-ins or walks after 7:30pm or before 7:30am. At this time we only offer boarding to existing clients. Generally, if I’ve started to regularly walk your pup, I’ll seek to introduce them to our household - we’ve got chickens, a small-breed dog, and a cat. So I’d need to know that your pup is fine with all of those stimuli before we could board them during your vacation. But we’ve successfully done it with quite a number of our other regulars!

“We brought our dog to Carla all bandaged up with an injury and she was able to follow all of his care directions and make sure he took it easy to heal. This was all very last minute and we are so grateful she was able to help us. She truly is the best!”

“Melinda was very easy to communicate with. She took excellent care of my little dog, who can be anxious around new people and other dogs. I would definitely ask her to watch my dog again in future!”

Yakira B.

“Heather took such good care of my baby! Her dog Gauge was the perfect playmate for him too. My dog can be anxious but she made him feel very comfortable. She took him on walks, played fetch, and sent lots of pictures so I didn’t have to worry at all! I’d highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: Your dog will have an amazing time, im an active runner and we will be going out a lot, but if he's small then we might just stay in all day expect for potty breaks of course. I will ensure you that your dog will be treated fairly and responsibly. Your pet will be feed on schedule and we’ll groomed. No circumstances . Also, I'm really flexible on weekends and weekdays morning to evenings but i do work some days throughout the week . I think I'm the best person to be taking care of your favorite pet / pal. I’m available anytime except on special holidays such as Christmas, also I will need to be notified before hands to ensure a great visit for your pet. I have a clean 2 bedroom house with great space. I also live near a huge park and can take your pet for walks every often.

About: I have taken care of animals my entire life and have had many different pets from childhood into adulthood. I have been a trusted house and pet sitter for over 10 years. I live an active lifestyle and love to take runs/walks (your dogs can join me)! I work part-time from home, with a very flexible schedule, so I can make just about any time work for the care of your fur baby! I will be able to let your pet out as much as needed and will be sure to make them a priority! I live on Fort Carson with a fenced yard (with grass!!!!) and pet friendly home. The area is very walkable! I will ensure that your pet is in a safe environment. I like to stick to the animal's routine as much as possible, hang out with them, and make sure they get as much exercise as they need. I have one dog - a labradoodle who is fixed and very friendly - he would love to play with your dogs too!

“Doriana was a lifesaver! We were traveling with our sweet old dog Daisy and needed someone to care for her while we visited Pikes Peak. Doriana sent photos and updates letting us know Daisy was settling in, and when we picked her up it was clear Daisy was indeed comfortable! Doriana has a great place with a fenced in yard and park nearby. Daisy appreciated the big comfy dog bed! Thank you Doriana!”

“Murphy loved his playtime with Buster and Devon! It gave me time to prepare for a party tomorrow AND bring home a tired pup. They were a great match of energy and that’s hard for me to find with larger group settings and I love him not being 1 of 20 at a doggie daycare where everyone is just going crazy. It’s also wonderful to have someone with ACD/Blue Tick experience. You truly know how high energy and anxious they can be. We can’t wait until next time!”
