Cat Sitting in Paonia

“Suzanne followed all instructions to a tee and even was willing to use her own cat food when the order being delivered was delayed. She was timely in her visits and sent pictures each time. My cats were happy and healthy when I arrived home. Definitely would use Suzanne again.”

“Megan was awesome! She made my vacation so relaxing because I didn’t have to worry about my house or my kitty, I knew they were in good hands! 😊”

About: Hi my name is Anthony, and I’ve been in the Aspen/Vail Valley for 11 years. I’ve always enjoyed taking care of my family’s dogs and cats growing up. I have a 12 year old Bichon that has been with me since college! I have taken care of numerous friends dogs in Vail over the years. I am a contractor and make my own schedule so I am readily available! I am able to give your animals any medicine they require. I’m always flexible to change my schedule to help with your needs! I am very respectful of the customers home, and try to make the dog feel confortable without their owner present. I am not taking in house customers at the moment.

About: I grew up on a farm with cats/dogs/horses. I have also owned a dog since I have a lived on my own. My range of dog knowledge goes from little dogs to big dogs. I have taken care of the friendliest dogs to behavioral problem dogs. I have a deep connection with animals that helps me to understand and accept them as they come, because they are all different. I have invested a lot of training into my own animals and have knowledge in that area if you would like me to apply with yours. Also, I am more than happy to help with additional farm animals. I do remote sales in the valley for a local brewery that gives me flexibility with my schedule. It really depends on the dates needed in which I can look to see if it fits my schedule. I can follow directions on what you desire when I stay in your place. Routine is important for most animals and I try to stick to the routine that you have set up or create a healthy one while I am there. Keeping the pets as comfy as possible is my ultimate goal.

“Clarissa stayed with our two cats for over a week and we are hiring her again on our next vacation. She adores animals and left my house spotless. We really appreciate her contacting us with pictures and updates of our furry love ones. We highly recommend Clarissa for your piece of mind while your away.”

About: I love my own cats, dogs and reptiles of all ages in my household! I will absolutely love your animals as our own 💕💕 I have been in Montrose for 8 years. I always go home during lunch to let our dogs out. My lunch varies. Either I go home 11-12, 12-1 or 1-2. I usually have holidays off. My dogs are kennel trained. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to run around. My cats and dogs are friendly and vaccinated. My cats are fixed, our male dogs are not. One of my cats is blind.

Because I’ll be caring for your pet in your own space, I prioritize the boundaries and expectations that you set!

About: Lifetime pet owner with a passion for animals, ready to spoil your four-legged friends! Scroll to the bottom to learn more about me! In the meantime, here are some points on how I aim to take the utmost care of your pets. ⬇️ HOUSE SITTING: 🏡 Your pets should hardly notice you’re missing! They will be treated as my own. 💛 🏡 YEARS of experience house & ranch sitting. Ask for references! 🏡 Comfortable with complex routines involving pets & livestock. (i.e. dogs, cats, horses, cattle, chickens, goats, pigs, rabbits, working dogs, etc…) 🏡 The goal is for you to return to a clean home & healthy, happy pets! 🏡 Will review a list of questions prior to your departure covering pets, livestock, chores, & home maintenance! Attention to these details are important! (i.e. vet info, trash day, water shut-off, etc...) 🏡 IF staying overnight, all linens, trash, dishes, etc.. will be cleaned and replaced prior to your return! No one wants to clean when they get home from a trip. 🏡 NEVER will I ask to bring my pets or someone else to your home. DOG WALKING: 🐶 Happy to walk BIG or little dogs! They don’t need perfect leash manners. 🐶 Let’s go for a 30 min free “consultation” walk. Make sure it’s a good fit! 🐶 Willing to follow any training protocols you currently have in place. 🐶 Have my own sturdy leashes or can use yours, whichever is preferred! 🐶 Will only walk one client’s dog(s) at a time. 🐶 Very conscious of our surroundings to avoid conflict with other passing people, dogs, wildlife, bicycles, etc… Also carry deterrent spray! 🐶 No “lolly-gaggin” here! Let's get those pups out the door asap to maximize walk time! 🐶 During the walk, happy to keep them moving to burn some energy -but also get some sniffing in as that provides great mental stimulation! DROP-IN VISITS: 👋 In Montrose, available up to 3x’s per day. 👋Outside of Montrose (20+ mins), available 1x - 2x per day. 👋Weekdays & Weekends -my timing is flexible! 👋 Dedicated to quickly doing chores & MOSTLY making your pets feel special! 👋 The ONLY reason I’ll have my phone out is to send cute update pics. 📸 BOARDING & DOGGY DAY CARE: ❗️Will resume offering this in the future, when Boogie has recovered from spay surgery and Leuko is a little older. Stay tuned! About Me: I've always had a passion for animals, and was raised with dogs, cats, horses, pigs, goats, cows, chickens, birds, fish, hamsters, etc... Through high-school I worked for a horse boarding facility cleaning stalls, exercising horses, and ensuring diet & blanketing protocols were followed with precise detail. After high-school, I spent four years wrangling for guest ranches in the summer, packing for outfitters in the fall, and house sitting during the off seasons! All this to say, I have met and cared for a huge variety of animals under various circumstances. I keep a watchful eye out for illness or injury, and feel confident in my responses to emergency situations. I'm not afraid to ask questions when I'm unsure, either! I take pride in following your routine precisely, sharing updates frequently, and giving you the greatest peace of mind that your pets, plants, & home are in good hands while you're away. Currently I'm studying for my Bachelor's degree, full-time via online courses. This means I will not leave your pets for extended periods while boarding, have flexibility to schedule visits that best suit your pet's needs, and can "work from your home" while housesitting if need be. I have a lot of experience with senior pet care, and am confident in my ability to keep your puppy's training on track while you're away! Please reach out with any questions, I'd love to discuss your situation more and see if we'd be a good fit! My schedule is flexible, as I'm a full-time student working on earning my Bachelor's degree online from home. Meaning, I can adjust my schedule to suit your pet’s needs! My goal is to take the utmost care to follow all routines and directions! Plus, strive to keep your pets healthy and home tidy! I will watch for physical injuries, monitor their "excrements" for signs of illness, and watch for conditions across ALL your pets / livestock including: ear infections, pink-eye, bloat, colic, abscesses, UTI's, etc... In addition to keeping an eye on pet health, I take watching for property issues like broken fences, leaking pipes, strange appliance noises, etc… seriously as well! I want to make sure your home is the way you left it, if not better! I’m fine with lengthy ranch routines morning and night. Again if questions arise or illness or injury is suspected in any of your animals --I will reach out with photos right away. I do have experience navigating small & large animal emergencies and react quickly to these situations!

“Brandi was amazing. We booked her to do drop in visits for our kitty, Dexter, while we were out of town this weekend. We have only had him for about 2 months now so this was our first weekend away from him which made us nervous. Brandi made sure to take pictures of not only him, but pictures of her with him and sent them to us dailyHighly recommend this kind lady”

“Andi was conscientious, caring and reliable in caring for our cat in our home. We definitely will be repeat customers.”

“Hanna is tremendous. I hired her when I had to leave my kitty for the longest and farthest trip since his “gotcha” day in October. Her daily report cards and photos were amazing. She provided so much detail and would also tell me when she was going to see him. She played with him and gave him his treats and he’s a happy little boy. I would definitely hire Hanna again. She’s wonderful.”

About: I was with my boy Sylo for almost 14 years now, and I know how incredibly important it is to trust that your companion is being *very* well taken care of. I live on a quiet piece of land right outside of Paonia. Daily walks are non-negotiable, and I love to get out on mellow adventures as much as possible. I go on a 30-45 minute walk every single morning, and another long walk every evening. I work from home so I make sure to take them outside for potty breaks or short walks very often! We go on leash walks every day- but if we go on an adventure, I am more than happy to keep your companion on a long leash if that makes you feel more comfortable.

“I am so thankful to Laura for her overnight care of my two animals. She was responsive, intuitive and provided regular updates and photos. One of my cats has a neuro disorder which has resulted in severe separation anxiety episodes making it stressful for me when I have to leave. For the first time, he was so calm and happy when I returned which is no doubt a testament to Laura's loving and attentive care. Highly recommended!”
