“My dog Rylee had a great two nights with Tracy. Loves having other dogs to play with. She also loves the home environment much better than a boarding facility. Tracy will be my first choice anytime I need boarding for my pup.”
“Absolutely wonderful dog sitter/boarder. I had Reise watch my dog overnight and she did great with him! It was my first time leaving my dog overnight and he had quite a bit of anxiety and behavior issues, but Reise handled it amazingly, communicated well and reassured me throughout the night. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Susan was absolutely wonderful with our girls. When a health issue arose with one of them, she handled it like a pro and kept in close contact to assure we knew how she was doing. She was very easy to work with and went above and beyond to accommodate some unexpected changes. We would definitely trust her with our girls again and recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“Shannon was AWESOME with Murph. She took the time to send pictures and updates. Most importantly she kept up on his meds and genuinely cares. Murph loved hanging out with her and with us not having to worry, he will be returning soon!”
“I honestly can’t thank Kathleen enough for watching my baby! She sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend. I know my boy was loved. He played all weekend and was absolutely worn out after playing in Kathleen’s backyard all weekend. Aside from taking such great care of my boy, she was super flexible and understanding of my schedule. My plans had changed last minute and she ended up taking him a second night. We also got into town a little later than I thought and she was kind the entire time! Kathleen thank you so so much for making my weekend stress free and taking such amazing care of my fur baby!”
“Rachel was available on short notice and shared photos and information during the stay. My dog was very happy with her and it was obvious he was given plenty of exercise. Will definitely contact Rachel for future stays.”
“Khalelah was amazing taking care of our fur baby during our wedding in Beaver Creek. she went above and beyond and our girl looked like she had the best time! would definitely recommend her and will hopefully use her services again when we come back to visit!”
“Again! Beyonka came thru and helped us with our furry family member. We are beyond grateful for her accommodations for our pet and speedy communication. As we’ve used her before to watch our dog we felt comfortable asking again! Highly recommended and very happy with her.”
About: I was previously working full time as a kennel technician at an animal hospital. I am also experienced with cats and larger animals such as horses and livestock! I am in school on track to become a certified veterinary technician within the next couple of years. I am passionate about animal well-being! I have a very flexible schedule and will do my best to be accommodating and available for you and your pets! I am excited about the opportunity to gain even more experience with all different types of temperaments and energy levels! I can feed, administer medication (oral, injectable, and topical), socialize, and snuggle up with your fur baby. I can also put your pet in their crate on my way out if that is what you would prefer!
About: Hi my name is Mozelle. I would love to help you out with any care you need for your animals. I have a yellow lab who I trained myself. I also have a cat and occasionally help train k9 working dogs in my spare time. I used to live on a farm and am great with all farm animals. I currently work full time, but am available in the mornings, Tuesdays and Thursdays, along with every other weekend off. I understand the need for dog walking and potty breaks being a working dog mom. I have a large yard, but it is not fenced. I will be sure to always have the dog on a leash. New surroundings can be curious for dogs and the safety is my biggest priority.
“My two cats spent a long weekend here and it's the most comfortable I've ever been with leaving them somewhere. They seemed to have a good time from the updates and pictures I got. Would highly recommend Alaina to anybody!”
About: I’ve always loved taking care of dogs or any sort of animal. If my closed one’s ever needed someone reliable and trustworthy to watch their dogs they always call me first! I’m currently not working or going to school at the moment so whenever you need a sitter i’ll always be there to make sure your dogs get a sitter! I’m very passionate about dogs so i always make sure they are getting full attention at all times and getting the proper care they need!
About: I have had dogs and other pets all my life. They have always been a part of my family. I do believe they give life more adventure! I usually work mornings and have afternoons and evenings off. My current job is close to home and flexible. I do get breaks throughout the mornings. I do not have a fenced in yard but I take my pets on a leash for walks around the neighborhood and to dog parks in the area.
“I will definitely rebook Robyn in the future and felt very comfortable with my baby boy in her care! She sent updates and pictures and videos any time I asked and always responded to all my messages pretty instantly. Biggie gave her a giant hug and kiss goodbye when I picked him up. Thank you, Robyn! 🐾🖤”
