House Sitting in Rifle

“Sarah was absolutely fantastic with our dog! She kept us updated throughout her stay with regular messages and plenty of photos, which gave us real peace of mind. Our dog can be a bit particular at times, but Sarah was incredibly patient, attentive, and clearly knew how to make him feel comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”

About: I’ve been caring for fur babies since I graduated high school, giving both puppies and senior dogs the special attention they need. I love animals of every shape and size and treat them like my own—because let’s be honest, they run the household anyway. Your pet will get a happy, stress-free stay with plenty of love, snuggles, and top-tier spoiling. I work a full-time job during the day, but I’m available for drop-ins and visits in the late afternoons and evenings. I’m also free all day on Sundays, as well as one select weekday depending on my schedule. If you communicate your needs ahead of time, I’ll always do my best to make it happen. Your fur baby’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I come to your home so your pet can stay in their favorite place, surrounded by familiar smells and routines. I follow your instructions carefully and keep your home secure, tidy, and respected. You’ll always get clear updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hello! My name is Jake and I love animals. I am a graduate from CMC Veterinary Technology with experiences in clinics, non-profit animal shelters, and personal pets. I have worked with a wide variety of animals that range from small rodents, dogs, reptiles, cats, lifestock, to the crazy exotics. All of your pets are special and I am willing to take time with special care and needs such as walks, food, medications, fluids, etc. I love getting photos and videos of your pets enjoying themselves and enjoy putting montages together. I am always happy and willing to go the extra mile in order for both owners and pets to be happy and comfortable. I am currently working a full time job from 3-11 am 6x a week, this gives me nearly most days & nights to care for pets afterwards I will give any animal 100% of my attention and love. I will respect any boundary placed by the owners and the animals. I will stay and only do what I'm there to do, unless owners have asked for more such as deep-cleaning, trash, dishes, etc.

“Kat, watched our cat for two weeks while we were on a trip. She took great care of him and sent us messages about how he was doing while we were away. She left the house in excellent shape after staying there for the duration. She is easy to work with and responds quickly. Would highly recommend.”

About: Years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I provide dependable in-home care, following your pet’s routine for comfort, safety, and happiness. I work full-time (9–5) and from home one day a week, which gives me flexibility. With my schedule I'm able to accomodate morning and evening walks, feedings, and playtime in the evenings (and lunch time when I WFH). My weekends are free, letting me spend more quality time with pets while owners are away. I care for pets in their own home, so they stay comfortable and relaxed in a familiar setting. I follow your care instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and always ensure your home is respected and secure. Pets get plenty of love, attention, and supervision every visit.

About: Lifelong dog lover, owner of Shih Tzus, and excited by every dog I meet. I spent five years teaching elementary school, so patience, reliability, and calm care come naturally. I treat every pet like family. I work full time in Snowmass Monday through Friday for eight hours a day, with flexible lunch breaks and timing control over my schedule and days off. I’m fully available on weekends and happily spend my free time before and after work with your pet, ensuring consistent care, attention, and companionship. I treat every pet like family, keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable in my care or in their home. I love daily walks, healthy treats, plenty of belly rubs, and making sure they feel secure and loved at all times. I pay close attention to routines, dietary needs, and comfort, and I always respect the home environment while providing attentive, trustworthy care.

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.

About: Since I was born I have had dogs in my life and have always had a love of caring for pets of all types. I have administered eye drops and insulin shots for family pets when they were aging. I give each pet extra love. In the past I have done overnight stays for a boss watching their two dogs; a ridgeback and pit bull along with their chameleon. I’ve had lizards, fish, and cared for my roommates snake and shepherd mix while she was out of town or working late nights. I started my business, Alpine Animal Services in 2020, and have cared for a countless number of animals. Each one I hold dear to my heart. When I say I will care for your animal and loved one, I mean it to the depths of my core and being. I promise to protect, care for, and keep your animal safe while in my care. I have carried insurance since day one to ensure extra care and safety for your loved ones. I recently obtained a certification in Animal Search and Rescue, as animal welfare is a high priority and passion of mine. I volunteer and have a close relationship with CARE in Glenwood. In progress, I will be completing a Fear Free program with ASPCA. With more plans to continue learning about animal behavior and understanding the different kinds of animals. My husband and I have rescued 6 pets together. We rescued three cats at the age of 8 weeks from; CARE, Rory (5), and Wallace (10) from the Aspen Animal Shelter. Rory is a tabby cat, Wallace is a long-haired black cat. Our most recent cat, Purrci, is not a rescued animal, she’s great either way and deserves the same love and care as a rescue, We have three dogs; lucky (12) is from aspen animal shelter and is a shih tzu/poodle mix, Zoey (10), is from CARE and is a terrier/shih tzu/poodle mix, and our youngest, Koda (3) is from Rifle Animal Shelter/Journey Home Animal Shelter, he is a black lab/shepherd mix. We also have a 6-year-old daughter who has grown up with all of these animals. The animals get a long very well. Koda loves playing with any of the animals when they are up to it. The ultimate goal for this endeavor is to have an animal sanctuary where animals and reptiles have a place to call home. Think of, those animals/reptiles, that sit in shelters for months on end, with the possibility of being euthanized. We’ll have a place for them in our sanctuary, our hearts, and home. We’re so excited for what’s to come! An ideal situation would be that the pet tolerates children, as I tend to bring my 6-year-old little girl with me from time-to-time. I am available Monday-Thursday, and Operate from 8-5pm. Services include; walks, hikes, or check-ins. I have a certification in Pet CPR via Red Cross, a certification in Animal Search and Rescue (ASAR) via Code3 and CSU, over a decade of experience volunteering at local animal shelters, animal pepper spray, and an Animal Behavior Certification.

About: I’ve had several dogs since I was a kid. Currently we have 4, including one puppy. I’m used to taking care of all dog personalities, like nervous puppies, grouchy old dogs, and hyper pups. I work occasional nights about twice a week from 4:30-10 at a restaurant. I would be out of the house at that time, but I often get cut early so we can further discuss when booking. I am comfortable crating dogs. I am also used to administering pills to dogs and cats, even those who don’t love to take their medication.

About: I have my own dogs that I have been taking care of for the last 10 plus years. I also watch my families pets when they need it. I have a backyard that's fenced off for any pups that come over! I have an open schedule, so when I watch your pets. It's all about their need and focusing on them. . . . . . Everyone goes to the vet for check ups We get baths once a week We go for walks, hikes and to the groomers. If a client needs me to clean up their home. I gladly will I'll also house sit for them.

“Ursula took great care of our dogs. Good communication. It was much easier to be away when they are in such good hands. Thank you!”

About: I have many years experience with dogs and cats, growing up with at least one dog and cat in the house; reliable house sitting for friends and family. I would want someone to treat my animal as if it was their own, so I will endure and make sure I do that, and keep them as a top priority! I live in Glenwood Springs, attending school and working in town, I am able to spend the night almost every and any night needed, but have responsibilities through the days including some Saturdays. Provide medication as scheduled, feeding, walking, brushing, playing, pup cups, or car rides. I love to get them moving, having fun, and engaging in play!
