House Sitting in Paonia

About: I’m a 6’4” 200lbs+ man so I’m great with all sizes of dogs including huge. I’m a jogger so if your dogs like to run also we’ll be a great match. I love all animals and I’ve had many pets over the years. I’ve had everything from hamsters to fish tanks. Cats, dogs, bunnies, snakes and even goats. I’m experienced with old dogs and puppies and am happy to walk or take care of either. I currently am working part time at my own discretion so I have an open schedule basically. It changes week to week but it’s flexible and I would be available any point in the day on week days and on weekends. I live in a very quit rural neighborhood with amazing beach and woods walks. I don’t have any pets personally at the moment and I don’t a fenced yard. I was originally thinking I would just walk dogs and do drop in visits but if you’re in a bind I can dog sit here. My aunt visits me regularly and she always brings her dog here. They both absolutely love here too. It’s safe and beautiful here but ideally I would rather not board dogs here.

“Allie did a fantastic job with our animals, and we have a definite problem child that tried her patience! Would absolutely recommend her 10/10!”

“It was obvious from our first meeting that not only does Andi “know” animals and their behaviors, but also that she loves animals. She sent lots of pictures while we were away and her communication was awesome! Thank you Andi!”

“Hannah was awesome. The dogs were very well cared for and the house was cleaner than when I left it. Hannah did a good job sending updates and overall was awesome.”

About: Hi, I'm Brianna! I've owned and taken care of dogs (large and small), cats & other small domestic animals for as long as I can remember. I've always loved and connected with animals & felt drawn to caring for them. My goal is to ensure your animals are happy and healthy, as I treat them all as my own, & that you will also have the peace of mind that they are in good hands. I have personally raised a puppy, & have lots of experience with a wide variety of dogs, including seniors, special needs & larger breeds. I know that above all else, exercise & human companionship are some of the most important elements to ensure a happy, healthy pup and I am happy to be able to provide that service! We live on a large fenced-in property (14 acres of mostly fields), so your pup will have plenty of room to roam & play! I offer daily walks/runs as well, whatever it takes to meet your dog's exercise needs. I love hosting multiple pups & providing daily updates with lots of pictures! I do have 2 sweet pups and a kiddo of my own, so getting along well with other dogs & children is a must. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies :) I currently have a completely open and flexible schedule as I am a former stay-at-home mom .. so working around your schedule and your animals' needs will not be an issue at all! As I have experience with a wide variety of dogs, safety is number one. I will always prioritize safety above all else to ensure that your animal is healthy & happy in my care! I also have lots of experience hosting multiple dogs of varying ages, energy levels & personalities, so I am very aware of all the doggie dynamics to ensure a positive, fun experience for all :)

“Fantastic! Ola was so great! :-) The dogs and cats loved her, and you could tell they were happy, content and well-loved when we returned from our short vacation. Ola was also very willing to water our outside plants and rose bushes, so they wouldn't suffer or die in the summer heat. All the plants were in awesome and healthy shape when we returned. The house was clean and well maintained, as well. Thank you bunches and bunches, Ola!”

“Mariah was a wonderful sitter! She was able to spend most of the three days completely with Maile, which was very important to me. She kept me updated on how Maile was doing, the walks they were taking and I felt very comfortable having Mariah stay in my home. She now walks Maile 3 days a week! Maile and I are happy to have Mariah as part of our family. I highly recommend her and will have her stay again when I need a sitter for my baby girl.”

About: I am a dog lover with two dogs of my own. I work from home and have flexibility in my schedule to be able to visit during the day, or can have your dog at my house if they love to socialize! I have experience with high energy and dogs that require a lot of affection/attention. We have 52 acres and will take them on adventures if they like that, otherwise have a 1 story home that is comfortable and welcoming to dogs of all ages! I work full time but work from home, so have some flexibility in my schedule to do home visits during the day, and can do up to 4 visits a day if needed. I also am able to have your dog at my house, where they will have 50 acres for play time and walks! I live in a pretty secluded spot with two fur babies to keep your dog company. We have 50 acres where your dog will always be supervised, but can run and play and get all the exercise he/she needs. There is hardly any traffic at all on our private road. Our house is one level for any senior or disabled dogs who can’t handle stairs well.

About: I currently own a 5 year old Rottweiler, and an 8 month old Cane Corso puppy. Before them, growing up I never wanted kids just wanted a petting zoo of fur babies. Unfortunately due to not having a big enough house, my zoo is on hold. But in the meantime, I get to enjoy other puppies and watch them anytime at my convenience. I’m good with watching any dog big or small! Currently I work full time at a hospital 3 days a week. Any other time I’m free! I work 12 hours a day. I have a schedule in about 3 months in advance, so I’m okay to book to your schedule and work something out. When watching other fur babies, I like to ask owners their day to day schedule. That includes what time they wake up, what time they like to be walked at and what time they normally have the zoomies to play. Their daily schedule shouldn’t change only because their owner is gone on vacation.

About: My wife and I both pet sit for various different families in our surrounding area. We also have three fur babies of our own and are looking to expand our customer base. We are able to integrate our pet sitting into our everyday schedule. We are available through weekends and holidays with advance notice. Get in touch and we can surely make it work. We care for our pets with daily walks and playtime. We ensure that all their diet and medical needs are met daily. We also make ourselves available overnight if necessary. Anxious pets require more attention and we are open to more involved sittings.

“Very responsive and took great care of our pup. Will definitely work with Kamron again!!”

About: I've had pets my entire life and love animals of all kinds. Neighbors, family and friends have relied on me to care for their fur babies while out of town or during the holidays I work from home and am always available to care for you pet while here or stopping by your place. I am willing to provide pickup and drop-off services as well. I have a mini Aussie that loves playing with other dogs to keep your pet company while in our home. Crate available if needed. I am always respectful and follow rules set while caring for your fur baby in your home.

About: Lifelong dog lover, owner of Shih Tzus, and excited by every dog I meet. I spent five years teaching elementary school, so patience, reliability, and calm care come naturally. I treat every pet like family. I work full time in Snowmass Monday through Friday for eight hours a day, with flexible lunch breaks and timing control over my schedule and days off. I’m fully available on weekends and happily spend my free time before and after work with your pet, ensuring consistent care, attention, and companionship. I treat every pet like family, keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable in my care or in their home. I love daily walks, healthy treats, plenty of belly rubs, and making sure they feel secure and loved at all times. I pay close attention to routines, dietary needs, and comfort, and I always respect the home environment while providing attentive, trustworthy care.

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.

“Sarah took care of our dog, Mesa, and our home as if they were her own. She is caring and conscientious. Lovely person.”

About: It doesn’t matter if it’s dogs, chickens, horses, or kids, all feel comfortable and drawn to me. As a parent and animal lover and experienced caregiver, I bring my maturity, reliability, and professionalism to every client and am adaptable to special needs and circumstances. I am fortunate to spend much of my days outdoors and happily travel between Paonia, Crested Butte and Gunnison. Animals in my care receive dedicated attention and ample exercise. In my home, I will offer multiple walks, hikes, or runs per day. While in your home, I can accommodate crate training, walks, and hikes- or any special needs or care instructions.

“We loved having Alexandra stay with our 2 dogs while we were out of town. She was communicative, easy to work with and took great care of the boys. We will definitely will work with her again!”

“She was amazing! Sent us pictures and great at updating us on our old large breed dog that has trouble getting around! I was so worried about him initially but they did wonderful together. Highly recommend!”
