Pet Sitting in Paonia

“Suzanne was wonderful with our pups! Sent pics and was very communicative. Our younger puppy was very calm when we returned for the day (which is rare!) and we’re thankful to Suzanne for giving some love to both of our dogs while we were out. Will definitely rebook!”

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.

“Clarissa did such a wonderful job tending my four furry family members on a last-minute booking. I came home to happy critters, and so appreciated the little extra touches she left like leaving the porch light on for me and unloading the dishwasher. I feel so lucky to have found her and the peace of mind her gentle spirit gave all of us.”

“Elen was fantastic! Anyone who snuggles on the floor with Jax gets 5 stars in my book. She was great keeping us posted on how he was doing while we were gone and even gave us great tips on where to visit in the area. We will definitely reach out if we are ever in the area again.”

“Jess was so wonderful, she took great care of my elderly cat while I was out of town. I came home to a happy cat and that’s all I could really ask for! I would definitely recommend her.”

About: Friends say I’m thoughtful, responsible, and passionate and I’ve taken my compassionate nature to caring for “dog babies.” I recently relocated to the valley and am eager to make more furry friends here! I had several repeat overnight and walking clients while living in Chicago. Trusted Pet and House Sitting also granted me the opportunity to pet sit a lovely lab and retriever for 2 weeks in Durango, CO last fall. We had a blast hiking amongst the colorful leaves. I’m an energetic go-getter with a heart that craves new experiences, staying active, and intimate connections. If I’m not soaking up community events or doing something fun outside, you can find me painting and crafting at home. I work remotely full-time but I have a flexible schedule and can step away as needed to walk and feed and play with your pup. Pups are allowed to roam the home and we can play ball in the space if they want. If they’re anything like Bob, they’ll move from place to place with short naps, and follow me everywhere.

About: Hi there! I’ve grown up around pets—from helping my mom rescue stray cats to walking dogs at the animal shelter, I love finding ways to help animals and the people who love them. I keep my availability calendar updated so you know exactly what to expect. My work schedule is flexible so feel free to contact me and I’m sure we can work something out! Because I’ll be caring for your pet in your own space, I prioritize the boundaries and expectations that you set! Let me know how I can utilize your space to make your pet happiest, and I’ll do just that.

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.

About: I have owned Rotties primarily and now love and care for a greyhound mix and a chihuahua mix. I trained dogs and love the interaction. I am currently working part time but hoping to make this my primary source of providing for my family. I can make myself available anytime. Your pets safety and security is priority. Know that I will prioritize their emotional and physical wellbeing at all times. Animals are precious family members.

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!

About: Hello! I am an easy going animal lover, local to the Western slope of Colorado. I understand the importance of keeping pets company! I grew up on a farm with many animals and my first job was pet sitting/walking. I love creating a bond with all of the animals I watch. I also have experience caring for special needs and limited mobility animals. Each animal has their own habits and tendencies, and I try to be very attentive to care for them the best I can. I’m an early riser and enjoy morning walks with the pups. I also do pet portraits and can be reached by phone, text, or email. I have a car for commuting. I have familiarized myself with the many trails and nice places to walk around town. I also provide water during walks and visits. I have a good sense for gauging an animals comfort and limitations.

About: Former dog foster mom, looking to get back into this soon. I’ve fostered, cared for, walked etc dogs of all kinds, and I’m so missing that. I have a dog of my own, lily, who’s what I like to call a mini hound :) (Chihuahua hound mix). I am currently taking house sitting, dog walking, check-ins, etc. I’m reliable, great with dogs and cats with special needs/elderly, and am available any time outside of my regular work hours Monday-Friday (8a-5p). Located in Delta CO. Message me for any of your pet needs :) I’m available anytime outside of my regular work hours Monday-Friday 8-5p. Opened to early walks as well, or care after I get off of work Currently not offering care within my home, but I do offer check ins, dog walking, house sitting, etc. you can rest assured when your pet in my care

“Hanna is the best! She is extremely communicative, asks all the right questions, and very efficient and reliable. I have a senior dog, and Hanna is so patient with her. I will definitely be using her again!”

About: I’ve spent my entire like around animals so if you’ve got more than a dog then that is completely okay. For the moment I can’t bring any animals to my residence but I am more than happy to do check ins or even house sit during the process. I can do walks, runs, hikes when the weather is good and even a joy ride! My fiancé and I have two dogs of our own, one is named Duke and the other Norma. Duke is a playful pup and loves to make a new friend so if your pets are friendly just let me know and I’ll bring him by on the initial introduction. I like to spoil dogs and have them do tricks for treats too :) I am new to the area and am usually not too busy so I have a pretty flexible schedule, I’ll update if anything changes in the mean time. I am very pet specific, however you’d like for me to be with them is how I’ll be. I’ve got enough patients for the ornery ones and enough energy for the playful ones, fb marketplace to browse for the lazy ones and enough of an old school type of vibe for the hard going ones.

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.

“Andi was great! She was sensitive to our dogs needs, and did exactly what we wanted her to do. I will definitely ask her to come by again when NFR dog is alone at the house. Thank you, Andi!”
