House Sitting in Silverthorne

“I have two very large dogs.. one older requiring some medications and careful care and another needing good exercise and energy. While I was away Ken sent a few photos of my happy boys and I came home to calm content pets. My house was in the same order left and I will definitely use Ken in the future !”

About: I have a been a dog lover for all of my life. There has always been at least one fur baby running around my house at all times since I was little. This has made me well equipped to take care of your dog while you’re away! I also spent 4 years in 4h training dogs and learning about dog care and showing! I can’t wait to take care of your pet and make them as happy as can be!:) This is my second summer working in Silverthorne, but since my aunt is a permanent resident, I know the area well and know all of the best walking spots! I will be working as a teaching artist at the SILCO theatre Monday through Friday, so I will be able to walk and care for your pet in the mornings, afternoons, and nights during the week. I am off on the weekends and would be more than happy to pop in at anytime, or even stay the night with your pet. Since the pet will be in the care of your home, I am equipped to crate, walk, give meds, and watch your dog. I am also happy to take up any practices that you usually have with your pet to ensure their comfort and safety.

“Eric was a wonderful house and pet sitter! Our dog, Willow, loved Eric and his dog Rufus. Eric took Willow on many hikes and left our house in pristine condition. We would definitely recommend Eric to anyone living or staying in Summit County! Thank you so much!”

“Jodie was a phenomenal cat and house sitter for our 3 week vacation. She would give us regular updates and was always quick to reply. The cats and house were in great shape when we returned. So thankful for her time and attention to our furry kiddos.”

About: There is nothing better than a dog's love, they are man's best friend for a reason! I've been around dogs most of my life, and there are no better companions in life. I live a very active lifestyle, and would love the opportunity to exercise with a furry jogging buddy. I'm not sure which of us would get tired of playing fetch in the park first! I have yet to meet a dog that outmatched my energy and love for the outdoors, and that convinces most dogs that I'm a good friend to have. If your dog is the lazy quiet type, that's no problem. We'll still go out for a walk or a jog but will spend most of our time playing inside, maybe watching Air Bud? (Ha!)

About: Five years and running in Summit County. My love of animals is noticeable and after having spent many a day and weekend taking care of my friends and neighbors furbabies (including running with their dogs), I've decided to make dog/cat sitting a more permanent side hobby. As a pet owner myself (both cats and dogs), I understand how important a cat/dog sitter is to the wellbeing of both the owner and their pet(s). Therefore, I'll do all that I can to make sure I provide a fun, safe and positive experience for everyone. I am a consultant so my hours are somewhat flexible during the week and weekends. Let me know how I can help. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I am available for drop in visits, feeding, playtime, companionship, and overnight stays depending on the location. My priority is creating a safe calm and comfortable environment where pets can maintain their routine and feel secure. In a clients home I respect the pets established schedule and the owners preferences, including feeding routines, medications, exercise, playtime and household guidelines. I pay close attention to behavior and well-being and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for family members and friends for years. I have experience with puppies, and senior dogs as well as reactive dogs. I have a flexible schedule so I will be able to spend plenty of time with your pet and make sure they are well taken care of. I am very active and can make sure your pets activities needs are met. I am happy to cater to whatever your pet needs to keep their daily routine.

“Amanda was great I was super anxious leaving my pup alone for the first time ! Everything went well and fen was great when we got back home !”

About: Love borrowing my friends dogs for hikes! I do a lot of hiking alone, so it makes me feel a little bit safer to take a pup on a hike with me. Hikes are about an hour long. I have several long time clients throughout the county, that I help while out of town or walk dogs weekly. I have watched cats, Small dogs, all the way up to an Alaskan Malamutes, she just passed away so I am looking for a new dog bff. I have taken care of dogs my whole life and have dog sat for different families for years so I am used to a variety of dogs and their different needs. I have a small, unfenced in patio/yard and a park across the street from home. I’m a busy bartender and server on the weekends, so weekdays I’m more available to help out more full time. Over nights are doable more full time! I have several long time clients throughout the county, that I help while out of town or walk dogs weekly.

“Ben was an absolute treasure to Sushi and the rest of our family! We had to leave town with little notice for a celebration of life and Ben stepped in and treated our dog, Sushi, like family. He updated us daily with pictures, which allowed us to focus on what was necessary. Thank you, Ben! We appreciate you!!”

About: I have compassion and empathy for animals of all kinds. When I am entrusted with care for your pet, I want to make sure they’re safe, happy, and comfortable. I LOVE playing with cats and dogs and thinking of fun new ways to stimulate their mind and physical activity. I’ve done dog & cat sitting for friends and family since I was a teenager and consider myself reliable, responsible, and accommodating. I’m currently unemployed so my schedule is quite flexible. I have plenty of time to take care of your dog and make sure they’re getting above and beyond pet care treatment while you’re away. I can usually do any day of the week, I sometimes go out of town on the weekends but that varies by weekend and isn’t set in stone. When I take care of your pets in your home I want to make sure I am aware of any routine your dog or cat has as to not disrupt their schedule too much. I follow all provided instructions including any specifics with feeding, going out, medication, exercise, or any other little quirk. I treat each pet as if they were my own and show them love and warmth.

“Sue day sat our 2 golden retrievers at our home. She kept me posted on how things were going and sent me pictures of their play. She walked them and gave them plenty of supervised play time.”

About: I've grown up with dogs and have been a resource for friends and neighbors to rely on for taking care of their pets while they are traveling or at work. Happy to travel around Summit County and nearby areas. I work from home a lot of the time, so I have a great schedule for walks, activities and lots of love. I try to spend as much of my free time outside at parks, on walks or hikes and just outside in general! I do not currently have pets and am willing to travel to your home for pet car and overnight stays. I will take great care of your pet and offer a safe, loving friend for them while you are away.

About: I am a full-time Frisco resident with a 5 year old golden retriever. We live in a townhome close to multiple parks, Tenmile Creek, and the Dillon Reservoir. I work Tuesday through Saturdays from 9-5, with some flexibility. My dog is well behaved and loves to make new friends. We love taking walks on-leash and running around off-leash when it is appropriate. I am used to taking care of dogs of all sizes, and I have a lot of experience with Labs and Doodles. I am familiar caring for dogs of all ages and I am more than willing to adapt to a dog’s specific needs. I am happy to provide drop-in visits, walks, house-sitting services, and overnight stays at my home. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions about your dog or your specific needs. I work full time, Tuesday through Saturday from 9-5 with some flexibility. Our normal routine is a morning walk around 8/9 am, an evening walk around 5pm, and a nighttime walk before bed. I am happy to adapt my schedule to your needs. I maintain a loving and safe home environment for dogs. If your dog will be staying at my home, ideally your dog does not need to be in a crate and can be trusted during the day. I provide ample walks and bathroom breaks around my work schedule, and weekends will be much more active.
