House Sitting 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 !”

“Sally was the absolute best taking care of Donnie while I was away! Her and her Pup always give me peace of mind when Donnie is with them and I’d highly recommend booking her for your pet needs!”

“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: Hi! I’m a responsible, active, and animal-loving person who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your pet with the same attention, patience, and care I’d want for my own. I’m happy to accommodate different personalities, routines, and energy levels—from a relaxed dog who just wants some company to an energetic pup who needs a long walk and plenty of playtime. I’m dependable, communicative, and will make sure you’re kept updated while you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, or simply some extra companionship, I’d love to help! I currently have full availability 24/7 365 spur of the moment or with advanced notice I can work with you to to accommodate your pets needs My dog Zoey is very good with other dogs and can accompany us if you like or she can stay home. Very attentive to your dogs needs

About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals, and nothing makes me happier! I work with horses professionally, and have also raised, fostered, and trained puppies and kittens. We love big dogs, small dogs, many dogs, any dog! I’ve taken dogs on roadtrips across the country, on horseback rides, on boats and kayaks, and countless adventures! My partner and I suddenly find ourselves without a dog of our own, so we would love to welcome yours into our home. We have a safe, comfortable, child-free, single story house with a doggie door onto a screened in porch and a fenced in yard. We live on a cul-de-sac with awesome neighbors and several wonderful pups, so if your dog is social they can make many friends! And if they’re not, our backyard is fenced and private. We’re more than happy to have them on our couches and beds (as long as that’s allowed at home) and we also have a crate if that’s where they feel safe! We are comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, or anything in between, and I have basic veterinary skills that allow me to administer oral medications as well as intramuscular and subcutaneous injections as needed. My partner works from home, and I am currently between seasonal jobs, so our lives are well suited to revolve around pets! We have a doggie door that leads to our fenced in yard, so dogs can take themselves out as they like, and cats can access the screened in porch. I also love taking walks through our neighborhood, which has safe streets as well as wooded trails and access to several creeks if anyone wants to swim! The cul-de-sac is also perfect for throwing a ball or frisbee, if your dog is into that kind of thing. We spend most evenings at home snuggled up on the couch, which has plenty of room for four legged guests (: Our home is safe and child-free, and (unfortunately) does not currently have any resident pets. We live on a cul-de-sac set far back in our neighborhood and have access to several wooded trails and marsh creeks. We have a dog door that leads to a screened in porch and a fenced in yard, which we have trained dozens of dogs to use over the years. I love taking walks, playing, and curling up on the floor or sofa for snuggles. I am also well trained in the art of giving mindless and continuous scratches. I’ve worked with many types of animals with all kinds of preferences, and I’m always happy to meet them where they’re at!

“Lexy was fantastic! We were out of the country but she made sure to alleviate all of our stress by sending daily updates and responding quickly! 10/10 would ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!”

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 generally work M-F from 8-4. 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.

About: Howdy, I’m Estelle! I’ve worked with animals my whole life and love getting to know each pet’s individual personality, quirks, and needs. My goal is to provide thoughtful, reliable care so your pets are happy and you can enjoy your time away worry free. I’m an active local with an older cattle/aussie dog named Sage. I’m frequently out exploring the parks and trails around Summit County. If your pup loves walks, hikes, or a good adventure, we’d be happy to have a companion. (Solo care always available! I'll only bring Sage with approval and prior meeting) Have a favorite spot? Just let me know! I'll always tailor care to your goals and needs. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and special-needs animals, and I’m happy to work with individual routines and care needs. I’m currently a student and stained glass artist/teacher with a flexible schedule. I’d love to meet you and your furry, feathered, or scaly companion! Please check my calendar for the most up-to-date availability. Outside of pet care I am currently a teaching artist at the Art Spot. I have flexible availability throughout the week/weekend. Reach out or check my calendar to see what I have available :) I follow the care and training routines you provide for their time with me strictly. My trusty assistant Sage (the cattle pup) is very dog friendly and will be a wonderful playmate / companion for your pup while you are away if you choose a stay with us! Due to the safety concerns I will no longer accept unspayed females or dogs that hold aplha aggression ( In my home)

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and I wish to continue interacting with them. My childhood dog, Sarge, recently passed away and dog walking and dog sitting allows me to continue my relationship with these animals. I’m working a variety of odd jobs in addition to my job at Colorado Learning Connections, as I am looking to supplement my income and save up for graduate school! I have over four years of experience talking care of dogs and I am eager to ensure not only their safety (and the safety of your home) but for their comfort.

“Zach house sat and watched our dog over a holiday. He was very communicative and accomodating to both house and the dogs needs. We came home to a very happy pup! We would highly recommned.”

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.

“Excellent care and communication!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. My neighbors and friends have always came to me and dealt on me to take care of their animals. I have been volunteering at animal shelters to walk dogs since I was a kid! I am extremely careful and considerate of every animals specific personality. I work a couple days out of the week and love to find time to take myself and dogs for a walk. We all need it! I am flexible when it comes to feeding and checking in on dogs. I know many dog friendly areas for great walks with dogs! I have a car if needed for transportation. I am very comfortable feeding and playing with dogs.

“Bethany is great with our little older and very shy mini pincher. She had a great understanding of how to take care of dogs. We would recommend her gladly!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, occasionally birds over the last 15+ years, over night, frequently for weekends and extended holiday breaks. I have always had dogs and cats or lived with others pets. I am currently in Frisco. I am often available for last minute requests or day of unless I am already booked or have a prior work conflict scheduled. This is my 5th year in summit, I have lived in the different cities and enjoy taking care of your pets in all cities and seeing more of the county. I can bring your dogs to my place, take them to a dog park, keep them in your neighborhood, go to the beach, whatever you prefer. I work multiple jobs around the county and it allows for variability; my schedule fluctuates each week so feel free to reach out and see if ours line up to take care of your pets I live along a paved walking and biking path, I can pick up your dog and take them to a dog park, there are also hiking trails into the woods I frequently walk

About: I love animals but I unfortunately travel too much to have pets. I understand that pets need attention and care which is why I don’t have one for myself but I would love to support other pets and make sure pets are getting the care they need. Im like the cool aunt for pets. I grew up in a house with lots of cats and dogs and have done a few dog siting jobs here and there. Your pets will be in great care with me. I’m great at walking! Just finished walking 2000+ miles from Mexico to Canada. I’m currently working at Snowbird and have very limited hours at the beginning of the season. I should have lots of days off available to provide care. I am aware of safety when walking I will make sure your pet is not close to the road or any danger. I will also make sure your pet doesn’t get away. Growing up I had a dog that loved to run away and I’m very aware of how dogs/cats can be when getting out of the house.

“Meagan was very kind, responsive and punctual! She was understanding when we ran behind due to the unknown end time to a concert. I would definitely recommend her. 🤗”

About: My family has rescued dogs since I was born! Breeds I've had or pet sitted for include Beagles, Bassets, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, Cocker Spaniels, Weiners, Presa Canarios, Pit Bulls, Yorkies, Bernese Mountain Dogs, mixed breeds, dozens of cats and even a Vietnamese Pig! I adopted a Tabby cat from the shelter I volunteered at for 3 years (however, he has now "adopted" my parents and lives a very spoiled life in MI). Working at the shelter taught me how to be extra patient with certain breeds who came from unfortunate situations and/or environments. I cleaned their cages, took them for walks, administered meds, and showed them as much love as possible if they allowed it. I am a very affectionate person, love fur cuddles, and am not afraid to get dirty (I've had puppies and senior dogs) and have a natural ability to connect with animals. I am also very aware that some pets just need their personal space and have different needs, just like people (only better). I am an avid hiker and yogi and love including pets in any related activity I can so that they get to exercise and/or relax with me. I also am respectful that not all animals are created the same and am completely fine with just feeding them, walking them, and letting them have their own space if that's their preference. I work from home except for one day a week and do not have any dependents, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and lifestyle. I occasionally work a few hours on weekends at a food truck but can either bring your pet with me or they can hang for a few hours at my place. I also have reliable transportation (good 'ol Jeep) that can fit multiple pets of all shapes and sizes :-) I have an open floor plan apartment with a 110' ft. balcony overlooking Mt. Massive and live within one mile of two dog parks and within close distance to a safe, walkable downtown area. I also have a partner who owns property with a fenced yard and we share two rescue dogs (husky mix and shepherd mix) but they live with him. I have a pretty open floor plan and not a lot of "stuff," and am always aware of what items are around to put away so that the pet cannot get into anything. I have one set of stairs that go up to the apartment, and can also keep extra blankies, toys, and owner approved treats (if allowed) to make sure that the pet feels as safe and comfortable as possible.

“Sarah (goes by Alex) is great. She took good care of our old cat and young dog. She was responsible, responsive, timely and respectful. She also sent us pictures of the kids so we know they had a blast.”

“Excellent cat sitter! She did an excellent job taking care of my cat and was very attentive and reliable. She also left my home clean, tidy, and well organized, which I really appreciated. I felt very comfortable knowing everything was taken care of while I was away. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her care for my cat again!”
