Pet Sitting Red Cliff

About: I've been caring for dogs my entire life and bring a calm, attentive and intuitive approach to every dog i welcome into my home. I grew up caring for dogs and have owned both Golden Retrievers and a long-haired Dachshund, giving experience with a wide range of temperaments-from energetic and playful to gentle and sensitive. I provide a structured, safe and loving environment where dogs can feel at ease while maintaining their normal routines. I'm highly attentive to each dogs individual needs, whether it's exercise, companionship or simply a calm space to relax. Having hosted many dogs in my home and being a former dog owner looking for care over the years, I understand how important it is for both pets and owners to feel confident and comfortable. My 9-year-old son Bobby is kind, respectful and experienced with dogs adding to the warm, family style environment your dog will be a part of. Nestled in Red Cliff, our home offers a true mountain escape- endless fresh air, trails, a dogs dream playground I currently have full availability, I'm home throughout the day to provide loving, attentive care, regular walks, playtime and calm, consistent routine for every dog. Our home features a partially fenced yard, a peaceful low flow creek on the property and easy access to Red Cliffs dog friendly trails for leashed or unleashed adventures in the backcountry.

About: Hi! I'm Kaile (Ki-la), or Auntie K, a born and raised Colorado mountain girl who moved back from Hawai’i where I dog sat full time for years. I moved back to Colorado to work as a social worker and working part time so the rest of my time is available to give your fur babies the best experience possible! I specialize in pups that need extra attention. Whether they need to be around people all day because of temperament or separation anxiety, if they have problems being around other dogs, perhaps they're shy and skittish, or maybe they have other behavior problems, or whatever other special needs your furry family members have needs, my background working for the human society and working with traumatized rescue dogs and special needs little humans in preschool. Give me the knowledge, temperament and experience to ensure the best experience for your pups. Those dogs are what I'm here for. I base my scheduling and pricing on having one pup with me at a time (unless they're "sibling" dogs from the same ohana), and if there's an occasion for overlap with another dog it will only be if I've notified you beforehand and gotten your permission. Please also keep that in mind when you're comparing prices and other dog sitters, while possibly having a yard and all of whom are amazing, offer services for multiple, often up to 7 dogs, at the same time. WHAT YOUR PUPS DAY WITH ME WILL BE LIKE I might not have a yard but we're right on the river as well as connected to a great walking trail system. I am at home all day every day, so I'm available for unlimited walks, hikes, potty breaks, whatever your pup needs. From the time you drop them off to the time you pick them up, I can guarantee I will be with them the entire time, playing ganes, going on walks or hikes, working on basic training, curled up on the couch for a nap or hanging out in the kitchen together as I cook dinner, feeding your pup in the kitchen so they're eating with me and my dad. ALL DAY ONE ON ONE EXPERIENCE! I will never leave your dog alone in my home, even if they are boarding over night. Many other area dog sitters work outside full time jobs, or are out of the house with their children for a good part of the day. They might require crate training, or will put your dog inside and be home only every 4-8 hours for a few short minutes for a quick shishi and water break. Would you pay for your toddler to be babysat all day with a family that, like yourself, works outside their home all day? Where they would leave your child in a locked room except for being let out twice a day for no longer than a potty and snack break? Why would you want the same for your fur baby? A DOG SITTING EXPERIENCE THAT'S LIKE A BABYSITTING/NANNY EXPERIENCE INSTEAD OF A GLORIFIED HOME BASED KENNEL I don't have children living with me and currently I don't have my own dogs with me. When you dog is here with me, they're with me the entire time and I treat them exactly like they're my own fur babies. I live in Avon CO and will be out of town from Sunday Oct 18- Tuesday Nov 3rd but when I return I should be available all winter season across the Vail Valley :-) Your pup's safety is my top priority. I live in a 7th floor condo with my father in Ko Olina. We have one lanai with sliding glass doors. I have an extra fence that I put up when I have tiny pups to keep them safe. We have one wide open room for the kitchen and living room so your dogs will always be in my sight even if I'm not directly interacting with them. I don't let any dog leave my front door without their collar and leash, and if they have one their harness. I go on lots of walks and adventures, even occasional runs and hikes depending on the dog and 'ohana wishes but I will never take them off leash. There is a dog park in Ewa that provides a secure off leash area. Its not somewhere I go often but with one of my regular pups, their parents okayed taking him there. I will only utilize this option after first speaking with you and getting your okay. I will only take one dog at a time (two if they're the same ohana) and always be with them. I know with COVID winding down socialization is a concern of many of our dog ohanas. I will sometimes have more than one dog staying with me. Most commonly its for an ohana with two pups. The other times they're dogs from two of my regular clients. I never have a new dog at the same time as another, even a regular. I like to spend time bonding with your pup and getting to know their personality and how they interact with other dogs. If they do well I will ask you if you're okay with your pup having playtime with another dog I know. Two of my regular pups are now BFF! Especially after COVID many puppy parents are concerned about their furry family member being socialized correctly. This is my aim whenever I have more than one dog. I never have more than one or two more, and I make it a point to provide even more direct interaction to help your dogs learn to or continue to socialize with their puppy friends in the safest and healthiest way possible! I have worked at the humane society in Colorado and volunteered in multiple shelters. I have basic dog and cat first aid training.

About: I love spending time with animals, whether that's an energetic dog looking for adventure or a cat who just wants some good company. I'll treat your home with care and respect while I'm caring for your pet. I bring 35 years of hands-on experience with my own cats, dogs, and horses, so I know how animals think and what makes them feel safe and happy. I grew up with dogs and have had 3 of my own as an adult. I have had 3 kitties of my own and have helped care for many others. For dogs, expect my full attention: walks, playtime, and if your pup has energy to spare, I love taking adventurous dogs out for hikes or even a trail run. For cats, I'm just as happy to slow down — feeding, litter box care, and plenty of quality time so they never feel alone while you're away. Cats have my heart just as much as dogs do! If you want someone active, experienced, and genuinely excited to spend time with your pet, I'd love to help! Dogs and cats are a huge part of my everyday life! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so hanging with the kitty or walking the dogs a couple of times a day is a natural (and favorite) part of my routine. Whenever I'm in your home, I treat your pets like my own — lots of hugs, affection, and real one-on-one attention, not just a quick in-and-out visit. For dogs, that means walks or hikes to help them burn off energy, followed by some relaxed downtime. For cats, it's feeding, litter box care, and plenty of cuddle time or play so they feel just as loved and cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of more than just my pets for the past 10 years! My neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their dogs and cats for years. I have walked, washed, fed, and kept loads of furry friends company. I have experience with senior dogs and cats as well as puppies. I have also volunteered with the SPCA for two years, walking and caring for some wonderful shelter pets. I work a 9-5 with off days on Mondays and Tuesdays. I am happy to get up early and come by late to meet pet needs Making sure dogs have the right amount of exercise, play, and outdoor time is so important to their health, so spending quality time with pets is a priority.

About: Hi! I’m Kiyah 🐾 I’ve lived in the Vail Valley for 8+ years and absolutely love spending time with animals. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and dog sitting has become something I genuinely enjoy doing. I have lots of experience dog sitting and house sitting, primarily for homeowners in Beaver Creek, Vail, and Bachelor Gulch. I’m very comfortable staying in their homes while they’re away and making sure their dogs feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their normal routine. I’m the kind of person who will happily spend extra time on a walk, play outside, give lots of cuddles, or just hang out with your pup on the couch. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being well cared for while you’re away. I’m responsible, clean, trustworthy, and communicative, and I’ll treat your home and your pets like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your pup! 🤍 I work full-time during the day, so my pet care fits best around my work schedule. I’m available most evenings, weekends, and for overnight stays. For house sitting, I’m comfortable staying in your home and keeping your pets on their normal routine while you’re away. I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule and make sure they get the attention, walks, playtime, and care they’re used to. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and doing well! 🐾 Your pets aren’t just a job to me — I genuinely love getting to know their personalities and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very respectful of your home and your pets routines. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk or drop in visit, or staying overnight in your home, I’ll make sure your pets get the attention and care they’re used to. I’m happy to follow their normal routines, give plenty of playtime and cuddles, and keep their space clean and comfortable. I’ve spent lots of time caring for pets and staying in clients homes throughout Beaver Creek, Vail, and Bachelor Gulch, so I understand the trust that comes with having someone care for both your pets and your home. I’ll always treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to have for mine, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and little checkins so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have two dogs and two cats of my own, so caring for pets is a huge part of my everyday life. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, boundaries, and way of communicating, and I take the time to make sure each pet feels comfortable and safe with me. I’ve also worked closely with professional dog trainers with my own dogs, which has given me experience with training techniques, reinforcing good behaviors, maintaining consistency with commands, and understanding canine body language. I’m very attentive to the signals animals give and am comfortable adjusting my approach. Animals tend to warm up to me quickly, and I genuinely love building trust with them. Whether your pet wants lots of playtime and attention or prefers someone who will patiently let them come around at their own pace, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Most importantly, I’ll care for your pets with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. My schedule is currently wide open, as I am searching for a full time job. I am excited to be able to pet sit in the mean time :) I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I'm attentive to body language and will always respect each pet's individual boundaries and personality. I'm happy to follow your normal feeding, walking, training, and medication routines so your pet has as much consistency as possible while you're away. I'll also be sure to send as many pictures as possible, because I also enjoy receiving those!

“My dog loves guys and she sure loved Dillon. He was able to give her insulin while she ate too. Will absolutely book again with him in the future!!”

About: Bill Murray says it best: “I’m suspicious of people who don’t like dogs, but I trust a dog when it doesn’t like a person.” I’m an all-around absolute animal lover but there’s just that something about dogs that I drool over. Dogs understand me and I understand them, similar to whisperer status. I’ve been known to greet dogs before I acknowledge its human(s) but I know none of you blame me for that! Trust that I’ll treat your pup as if it’s my own human child, and because I don’t have one of those, I’m extremely grateful and tickled for the opportunity to share my love with your best fur friend(s). I genuinely look forward to our time together! [Friendly reminder: Rover takes 20% out of the services and gas cost is high.]

About: I've been taking care of and raising animals since I was a young child. Throughout my life I've owned many different breeds of dog, as well as sat for friends and family pets. I love to play with pets who are willing, or just hang out with them. My schedule is currently wide open for pet care as I've recently moved here from out of state. I can stay in your pets home, or just check in on them throughout the day. I'm currently not offering sitting in my home because I've got an old pup of my own, but I care for others pets as if they're my own. However if I'm pet sitting in someone else's home I follow the guidelines I'm given to the letter!

“Hannah is super reliable, communicative, and kind with our kitties. She clearly loves animals. We are grateful to have her help us out when we're away.”

“Krystina was a great sitter, we were half way across the world for 2 weeks but her updates and care of our pets made us know that we left them in good hands!”
