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.
“Wren was great. I had problem with my previous sitter and had to book last minute and Wren was quick to respond and happy to help. She communicated well and made sure my dogs were happy.”
About: Comforting and keeping your pet(s) company is my forte. I love to get to know each individual cutie and get to know their personalities. I do more than just 'sit.' I am retired and do a lot of philanthropic work in the community. This gives me plenty of time to spend with your pets. I I am available to spend the night or just check in. Our 4 cats have lots of room to run and play. Many visitors have remarked on how many toys we have!! I can't waitcto discover what toy is your pet's favorite!!
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and everything in between. I treat every pet like family, it’s almost like you never left! I work full time, however in my free time I am more than flexible to meet your individual care needs. Nights and weekends are best for my personal schedule. I offer individual tailored care to meet each animals specific needs. Anything that is needed, I am sure I can accommodate and make happen for you and your fur babies.
About: I have owned dogs my entire life and dog/cat sit regularly. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. As a local, I know how to care for your dog appropriately in town. Currently working part time so I have lots of time to play with your furry friends! I’m an active person who loves being outdoors and would love to take your pets with me. But I also have a lot of experience caring for pets in a home setting of all shapes, sizes, and ages! I make safety a priority in your home and when getting exercise. I will take care with the food they eat, how they are walked, and during play time.
About: Hiking, walking, training, playing, or cuddling - no problem! I work remotely so when your pup is under my care, they're with me 100% of the time! No errands or work to juggle. Plus, my pups are awesome playmates! I work remotely so my pet care is simple, I'm with the pups all day and all night. Potty times are frequent, daily walkabouts are necessary, playtime is alternated with my professional computer time, meal time is morning and night, and bed time is sunset. I am able to make myself at home anywhere, very easily. So my home routine is the same wherever I go. Of course, client preferences may alter this routine.

About: I’ve had a variety of pets (dogs, cats, lizards, fish, tarantulas) my entire life. I thoroughly enjoy taking care of our best buddies. I love going outdoors with our furry friends for some fun and exercise. I work from home, and have a very flexible schedule! I am available with full access to transportation to meet your pet caring needs anytime anyplace. Our pet’s well being is first and foremost. I treat my animals just like one of the “pack”, they are family members, and just like family, their needs are just as important as anyone else’s in the house.
About: I’ve taken care of every sort of critter since I was a little kid and have always been passionate about making animals a part of my life. This includes puppies, dogs with disabilities, blind cats, animals needing medication, and lots of animals with big personalities-I even have one my self (Australian blue healer). I have volunteered all over the country at different shelters while traveling and have worked for shelters and animal ranches. You could say I know a thing or two about animals. My dogs are essentially my kids and come on almost every adventure with me. With clients, I treat their dog exactly how I expect others to treat my furry ones when I’m out of town. If there is anything special that you’d like to let me know, then I am all ears. I spend most of my free time rock climbing and adventuring outdoors. I also love to read and paint, so if your dog isn’t as active, I will certainly lounge around with them :) All of my pets get better care than I think most dogs ever get and your dog will be treated just the same! My dogs are always involved in every activity and never feel left out. They all love to learn, play, walk, adventure and of course get snacks! Just let me know how you normally take care of your dog and we can make it work!
About: Experience with a variety of pets and temperaments, I love the outdoors and am happy to tire a energetic pup out or hang out on the porch with a senior dog and everything in-between. I also love and grew up with cats! My schedule is fairly flexible, I work in town and there for am easily accessible to take your dog on a walk/ fulfill your pets needs easily! I follow instructions laid out by owners for their respective pets and am open to caring for pets in clients home and following up with any training if needed, as well as leaving my clients home clean after my care.

Jon M.
“Jon Michael J McCroskey is one of the upmost standing citizens of the valley I know. He is an expert forager, master bartender and a sensei of animal husbandry. I once thought that lizards were mentally incapable of showing and expressing emotion. Through the work of Mr. McCroskey, I have realized that lizards are only somewhat mentally incapable of showing and expressing emotion. Jon's lizard Muddy Joe Dirt Waters has shown me that anything is possible with love and some meal worms.”
