“Aryn was super accommodating with my last minute request and took great care of my pup. She sent multiple photos and a video and always responded promptly. I would bring my pup to her again!”
About: I was previously working full time as a kennel technician at an animal hospital. I am also experienced with cats and larger animals such as horses and livestock! I am in school on track to become a certified veterinary technician within the next couple of years. I am passionate about animal well-being! I have a very flexible schedule and will do my best to be accommodating and available for you and your pets! I am excited about the opportunity to gain even more experience with all different types of temperaments and energy levels! I can feed, administer medication (oral, injectable, and topical), socialize, and snuggle up with your fur baby. I can also put your pet in their crate on my way out if that is what you would prefer!
“Rachel was so great with Maddie. She got us in last minute for a booking and sent a couple pictures. Maddie seemed to have a blast will definitely book with her again!”
“Reise was kind, considerate, and communicative. She took great care of Cedar and was able to fit us in on somewhat short notice. She shared numerous pictures and feedback during Cedar's stay. We feel fortunate we found Reise!”
“Emma was so kind and friendly. Piper was very happy to see her. My dog is a nervous one so that is really important for her to be happy to see someone. I got pictures of Piper during her stay and that made me feel good knowing she was being cared for.”
“My dog Rylee had a great two nights with Tracy. Loves having other dogs to play with. She also loves the home environment much better than a boarding facility. Tracy will be my first choice anytime I need boarding for my pup.”
“Shannon was AWESOME with Murph. She took the time to send pictures and updates. Most importantly she kept up on his meds and genuinely cares. Murph loved hanging out with her and with us not having to worry, he will be returning soon!”
“Taressa was wonderful. I was very nervous to leave my dog with someone for the first time, but Taressa reassured me by sending me tons of pictures of her throughout her stay. I would definitely use Taressa again if I was ever in need.”
“Great Experience, very accommodating and very flexible. i had to drop my dog after the long drive (16 hours) and he was definitely hyper but Tricia took great care of him. with all treats and great walk and some good catch fames.. will defiantly book again”
“Khalelah was amazing taking care of our fur baby during our wedding in Beaver Creek. she went above and beyond and our girl looked like she had the best time! would definitely recommend her and will hopefully use her services again when we come back to visit!”
About: I will provide a trustworthy, fun, and educational environment for your pup while you are away! Let your vacations and unexpected pop-ups in life be worry free when it comes to your beloved animals. I have been pet sitting for years, and love what I do! Providing outstanding care for your animals comes natural to me. I also do profso I can take care of all your needs! Please give me a call to schedule a meet and greet with your fur babies! I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! See you soon! I currently don’t have full time availability depending on your dogs needs. Due to just moving to this area I had to start all over with my clients and I took on a full time job. Until I get things rolling again I will only be available on nights and weekends. I can pet sit dogs in my home on a case by case basis. In my home all fur babies get to use and abuse furniture and have beds! They get lots of play time and I do provide a naturally educational and structured schedule. I have 5 years of professional pet training under my belt. I even offer some grooming services!
“So, we all love our dogs. I personally think my dogs are the best dogs in the world, and worthy of the very best care, and someone who will allow them to feel loved when we need to leave them behind. The reality is that we never know exactly what is happening with our beloved pets when we entrust them to someone else. My fur-babies can’t tell me. So the best we can do is look for someone who we believe is trustworthy and caring. What do I believe? I believe that Amanda and her family are caring and honest. This family has a great capacity for love, and my dogs feel loved when they stay with them. Amanda and her husband have their hands full caring for 5 kids, work schedules, and volunteering in their community. But they also have the energy and organization skills to excel in handling their responsibilities. My dogs have 5 kids/teens to play with them, and that also makes them happy. Their new house currently only has a small enclosure in the back yard. But my furbabies were apparently taken out on a leash regularly. I believe them when they say that they will be enlarging the fenced area in the near future. I do not hesitate to recommend Amanda and her family. If your dogs need a family that takes the time to play, cares for them, and takes time to snuggle with them, I believe this family is your best bet.”
“I will definitely rebook Robyn in the future and felt very comfortable with my baby boy in her care! She sent updates and pictures and videos any time I asked and always responded to all my messages pretty instantly. Biggie gave her a giant hug and kiss goodbye when I picked him up. Thank you, Robyn! 🐾🖤”
About: I love to play with and see doggies . I'm starting this business because my son and I love dogs so much and we just want to be able to walk or pet some because let's face it it wouldn't be good for the pup with my busy schedule going to college and 2 jobs. I've adored dogs since I was a little girl have opened 4 raised 1 from a puppy (dauschund) rescued one (German Shepard pyraness) great mix by the way. I volunteered at the shelter when I was 12 walking dogs and cleaning kennels . I take care of m cat every day .I brush her , clean out her pet litter , she gets filtered water and Buffalo cat food . I would allow the animal to walk around my home if it was friendly enough too or put them free in the basement w a baby gate up. But we would go for a walk get lots of pets and play w each other if he/ or she wanted too .my cat is friendly w dogs and has her front 2 paws de clawed
