House Sitting in Parlin

“Kaitlyn is fantastic. During our week-long vacation, she took great care of our home and our beloved dogs Ziggy & Zoey. Communication was easy from start to finish and we had zero worries while we were away. Our pooches loved their time with Kaitlyn and we received regular updates with photos. We truly appreciate Kaitlyn's professionalism and will certainly request her services again.”

About: My partner and I have been working with animals since we were kids. Emily grew up on a farm and has raised all sorts of animals, including showing horses. My father is a veterinarian, so I grew up around animals and worked in the kennels while I was in school. We're comfortable dealing with various behavior quirks, giving medications, and we've always got vet advice on call if an emergency were to arrive. My partner and I work at the hospital, but we have slightly different shifts. There are usually only 1-2 days per week where one of us isn't home. When we are both at work, our shifts are staggered enough that we can get home every 4 hours, in addition to morning and evening walks. We are both extremely active people, so our dogs get multiple hours of walking/hiking every day when we're not working. We have an acre of land with two separate fenced-in yard sections, which gives us the ability to divide dogs of various sizes, or those who may be timid/hesitant around others. The lower level of our house has a separate entrance, so there's ample indoor space as well when the weather is too hot/cold to be outside. Pets will be indoors any time that we are not at the house to directly supervise. We walk our dogs multiple times per day, and have trail system access 50m from the house, so we're not reliant on just leaving dogs in the yard for outdoor stimulation.

About: I am very experienced with both dogs and cats as I grew up with two cats and a dog (a very big dog). I feel very comfortable with all animals and understand the importance of giving your pet a tons of love and care! I have a super flexible schedule so I can make sure your pet gets whatever it needs. I recently started watching other people’s dogs and I a think both me and the pup have been enjoying it! I am currently working part time, I typically work Monday-Wednesday from 8:30-4:30 in Crested Butte. Other than that I am completely available to give your pet any attention and care it needs. I love hanging out with animals so I will be completely available to give your pet any and all of my attention! I currently am in between housing so I personally can’t house any animals but I have a car so I can take you pup on some great hiking adventures! I tend to be very cautious and make sure I understand a pet’s temperament and what they need to feel safe and comfy!

“Charlotte was the best dog sitter I have used on Rover. She went above and beyond to watch my two dogs Timber and Moose while staying at my house while I went on vacation for 10 days. She was very good at communicating with me about how things were going and put me at ease with pictures and updates. When I came back home both the dogs were happy to see me and seemed so stress free and happy like I had barely been gone. Charlotte took them on long walks and runs and kept my house very clean for my return. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, kind hearted, and knowledgeable person to look after their pets and/or home!”

“Hope was a wonderful, professional, and detailed pet sitter. Autumn was basking in the sun happy as a clam when I got home. Autumn has some anxiety and doggy boarding is very stressful for her so it is great to be able to know she is at home way more comfortable and well taken care of. I will definitely be hiring Hope again.”

About: I’ve been watching animals for about 10 years. I have experience in almost everything from walking dogs, animal sitting in my home and others, play dates, grooming and anything else you can think of! I’m a lover of all animals of all shapes and sizes and enjoy spending time with new pet friends ! I am currently working full time at a local doctors office but have an hour lunch break as well as time in the morning before and after work to check on and care for any animals! I am off on weekends which is when I spend most of my time with pets that I am watching. I have a fenced yard with high enough fencing to avoid any lost animals. While in a clients home, I always keep an eye on the pet when they are outside or wondering.

About: From walks to playtime and snuggles, I love making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved—especially while their family is away. Animals aren’t just a job for me—they’ve always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I am a college student but at home throughout parts of the day. I can take care of pets multiple times and make sure they receive all their needed care Pets become part of my life while staying with me. I make sure they get lots of attention, love, and snuggles. I want pets to feel right at home.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was around 10 years old. I’ve always loved caring for animals more than any other hobby. My pets have a very special place in my heart. I am able and willing to watch puppies, kittens, and senior animals. I have a large lab mix who is about 11 that I have thoroughly enjoyed caring for and loving my whole life. I also have 3 cats who I love to spend time with and give attention to. I’ve also cared for geckos, hamsters, chickens, fish and other small animals. Im currently in between jobs, I travel to Colorado every winter to work for a ski resort where I operate ski lifts. Pet care fits into my routine very easily right now, as I’m doing house/pet-sitting full time while in between jobs. When I am caring for pets in my own home I will watch your animals carefully and care for all of their needs. I have a huge wooded yard with access to lots of leashes and 2 small crates. In a clients home, I would do exactly what the client needs/wants and will always respect your property. Some things I offer are feeding, walking, exercising, playing with, washing, cleaning up after, and many more activities depending on what my client requires.

About: With over a decade of dedicated pet care experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to ensure the well-being of your beloved furry companions. From dogs and cats to small mammals, I've cared for a wide variety of pets with love and attention to detail. Whether it's providing nourishing meals, engaging in stimulating playtime, helping abandoned new born kitties, or simply offering comforting cuddles, I prioritize the individual needs and preferences of each animal in my care. With a passion for animals and a commitment to excellence, you can trust me to provide the highest standard of care for your furry family members, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Sunday-Monday I am available to do full time. Whether it’s in home, on a hike. I am more than pleasured to offer 24 hour supervision. Tuesday-Saturday, anytime after 6pm. I can do overnight but would have to leave the following morning for my main job. In my home, I ensure a safe and welcoming environment for pets entrusted to my care. This includes providing comfortable sleeping areas, access to fresh water and nutritious food, and ample opportunities for play and exercise. I tailor activities to suit each pet's personality and energy levels, whether it's interactive games, leisurely walks, or quiet cuddle time. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their usual routines and surroundings to minimize stress and ensure continuity of care. This involves following feeding schedules, administering any necessary medications, and providing companionship and attention tailored to each pet's needs. I also take care of household tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, and maintaining cleanliness to ensure both the pet and the home are well cared for in the owner's absence. Overall, whether in my home or a client's home, my approach to pet care is rooted in compassion, responsibility, and a genuine love for animals. I prioritize the well-being and happiness of each pet under my care, striving to create a safe, nurturing environment where they can thrive.
