“Megan took great care of my dog while I was away. Very happy with communication and attention to the pet. No issues/complaints, would recommend & use again in the future.”



About: We're a a couple in our 40s, both working professionals in Montrose. We have five year old daughter and a nine 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.

“Ashley watched our cat Beetles for a week while we were out of town. He always loves to spend time with her, and we are always impressed by how attentive and communicative she is. ☺️”


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!!

“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: Hello fellow dog lovers! With over 20 years of experience owning and caring for dogs, I understand the deep bond between humans and their furry companions. I’ve recently moved to Silverton and, though I cannot host pets in my rental, I’d love to take your dog for a walk or house sit where they feel most comfortable- your home! I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide care both during and outside of regular business hours. Whether it’s a midday walk, evening playtime or weekend adventure, I’m here to ensure your dog receives the attention, love and exercise they deserve. If you book me for pet sitting in your home, you can feel at ease knowing that I will respect your space and make it a goal of mine to leave your space as clean (or cleaner!) than how I arrived. Let’s connect and discuss how I can offer your dog the right care and attention to make you feel comfortable when you can’t be with them. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule! I can provide pet services within or outside of regular business hours- let’s discuss your pets needs and I can likely fit them in to my schedule, no problem! I love clients who offer detailed lists of their pets needs and daily routines! I used to do the same with my dog and know that following something like this gives everyone involved (dogs included!) ease of mind.

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 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.

“Lee is amazing. I would put him in the catagory of a dog whisperer. He dropped by to give my two pooches a potty break while I was alway for a long time. Knowing they are highly protective of the house I worried there could be problems. According to Lee and the fun photos he sent it looked like they were having a party. Thank you a hundred times over.”


About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life. My golden retriever is my entire world and I couldn’t imagine life without him. Adventures, coffee shops and hikes are much more enjoyable with dogs. Your pet will get to join us every morning and evening on our daily walks and may even get to go for a stroll for a pupuccino. I travel and will be in the Silverton area for the next two months and would love to meet and care your fur babies. I work remotely, so I am available all day. I do step out for errands but typically never am longer than 2 hours. Having pets over helps gets Jax entertained while I am working and makes our walks more enjoyable every morning and evening. I have a large fenced in back yard and will typically always be home unless running errands. This allows more attention for your dogs and less risks of anything happening since I will be home frequently.

About: I have 2 Bernese mountain Dogs and a grey cat. We like to go for hikes and frequent trips to the river. I’ve watched friends, family and neighbors pets and would love to play with yours! Our daily schedule includes a walk in the morning, evening and before bed. Meals at breakfast and dinner. My schedule is flexible. I often take hosted pets with me wherever I go. My partner and I work as a team to take care of the animals, please consider both us as primary care-givers. Our pets are with someone at all times. Our house is small and lived in. We like to spend majority of our time outside and out of the house. We have plenty of toys and training treat to spare. We have easy access to trails, golf course and open field steps from our door. We have two friendly dogs and a cat, when house sitting our pets stay in our home, if our pets do not get a long we alternatives for watching them and hosting our guest animals. Care is dependent on the animal and/or the house we are sitting.

About: I have a soft spot for animals and love to play!! I've had pets my entire life and can help yours have a more active lifestyle. I'm willing to take long hikes on the trails, short walks around town, play ball at your place or just spend quality time with senior pets. I'm known for my integrity and dependability. I understand pets are like children to most people and will treat them as such.Great local references. I live and work full time in Ouray. I work at the Ouray Hot Springs Pool Friday through Monday 6am to 4pm. I can house/pet sit 7 days a week. When staying in someone's home I follow the lists/guidelines exactly as the homeowner wishes. I don't plan other things while sitting. Watching/ entertaining and caring for your home and pet is my job around the clock. I can provide a long list of local references if desired.

“Jill was the best!!! She sent a lot of pics and gave me a detailed description of her visit with my kitty! As any pet owner, I was apprehensive about leaving him but Jill made the whole experience great! 10/10 would recommend!!”


“Our first time using Rover while in Telluride and we are so thankful to have Nancy's help with our puppy. She sent great pictures and we couldn't be happier with the service she provided. We'll definitely use her again.”


About: Hi! I’m Rubie. I am a huge animal lover and have owned and taken care of both cats and dogs all of my life. My priority is the safety and comfort of your pet while I’m taking care of them. I work part time elsewhere, however when I’m taking care of your pet it will be on a day where I can dedicate my full time to walking, watching, and playing with them. Depending on your pets needs we can explore the mountains, or stay safely inside my private home. Overnight the pet is likely to stay in my spacious room.

About: I'm passionate about dogs and love the idea of taking them on long hikes/walks in my freetime. Nature is my playground, and I thrive on exploring new trails and soaking in the beauty of the outdoors. Hiking with a furry companion sounds like the perfect adventure to me! I currently work Monday - Friday, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm. I can do afterwork walks/hikes and weekend hikes/walks. Also, may be able to flexible with dates as well. I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment. Clear communication with clients ensures I meet all expectations and provide a loving atmosphere for their pets.

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!

“I can assure that McKayla is excellent when it comes to loving and caring for animals. Her dog is always her top priority, they never miss their daily hike even if there's a foot and a half of snow. She feels bad leaving him alone overnight and often opts to come home from outings early to spend time with him.”
