About: I have experience with small mammals, cats and dogs. I have administered medications to both cats and dogs. I have worked with elderly dogs needing extra care. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I can do drop-ins any time of the day. I can even work from your home if it makes it easier! We currently have 2 middle aged dogs. They are dog friendly and pretty big couch potatoes. They do not use a crate but I can accommodate a crate if that is what your dog needs.

About: Since I’m unable to have a pet of my own, pet sitting is something I truly enjoy! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I am very familiar with animal husbandry, as I grew up caring for livestock along with our family animals too. I currently work a very flexible schedule, especially in the summer time. I can take multiple breaks in my day to best accommodate your pets needs I am unable to offer pet sitting in my home at this time. I always treat your home as I would mine, and leave it better than I found it.

About: Hi! We understand that leaving your precious dog with a stranger is a big decision. So we will do everything in our power to make them (and you!) as comfortable as possible. - Frequent updates. We love taking pictures of our fun activities and sharing them with you :) - We do not have children however we have a golden retriever, Nacho. - Meet and greets (when available). We often do a quick meet and greet so you and your pup can see meet Nacho and our place. Please note that it is not always possible, especially if we are boarding another dog. We kindly ask that you mention you would like a meet and greet before booking. - Near constant supervision. Evan works from home so there will almost always be someone with your dog. If your dog requires someone there 100% of the time, we will make sure our schedules are clear when we accept the boarding. Just let us know :) We love dogs of all shapes and sizes! We both have experience taking care of different breeds, temperaments, and ages of dogs. We have taken care of puppies, high energy dogs, and even elderly dogs. Our dog boarding journey started with Wag. We have over fifty - 5 star reviews and recently decided to expand to Rover. We have no problem going at the pace of our guest. We are super friendly and patient and will treat any pet as if it were our own! We will go above and beyond to make sure that our guests have a wonderful stay. We also provide a ton of toys and are equipped with basic dog necessities such as dog poop bags, and doggy bowls. Dogs are welcome on all furniture (except tables 😂). Michelle speaks Spanish if needed. Please note that we live on the third floor. We love senior dogs but if they are too big or don’t like to be carried and stairs are difficult, we may not be the best option. Evan is home on weekdays so there will be near constant supervision. We won’t take accept a boarding just to leave the pup at home alone all day. We usually start our day off with a morning walk around 8am or earlier if that is requested. We’ll do an afternoon walk which we might also tie in with a hike or a trip to an empty dog park and we end our day with a night walk before bed. There three walks are the minimum we do, we’re flexible to anything. On weekends we take our pups with us to dog friendly locations. We take into consideration if the pup is comfortable with other dogs and people before taking them out. Our schedule revolves heavily on our guests and we do everything we can so they feel comfortable in our home. Our apartment has a big couch which we allow the pups to use. We have a toy box filled with balls, stuffed animals, ropes, kongs, etc. It’s expected that toys get played with so we have constant supervision and discard any broken toy. We also are equipped with puppy pads if needed. We have dog bowls for food and water which we make sure are adequately filled.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and enjoy taking them on fun walks or energetic hikes to keep them healthy and happy! I am currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule to hang out with furry friends. I have a changing schedule that varies week to week, but I am happy to find a time that works for us both. I am committed to making you and your dogs comfortable and happy. Safety is my priority, and I focus on maintaining an enjoyable and positive environment for your pup.

About: * Been taking care of friend's loved one for decades * Ample, daily play-time is provided * Live near Rita Valentine so short or long hikes very accessible * My rules are your rules - whatever is needed to make things seamless for you and your pet so they are comfortable while you are away * I work from home and have a very flexible schedule * I'm able to walk dogs very regularly on whatever schedule they normally have * I live up the street from Yampa Core Trail and right by Rita Valentine so ample options to get them out and exercising * 15-45 minutes hikes are very easy to accommodate * My husband is retired so he is also home. He is a SUCKER for an offered belly so often his choosing to work out or doing any work around the house is ignored in favor of rubbing bellies! * I'm in a very quiet and dog-friendly neighborhood. * I have a nice side-yard but it is not fenced in. Dogs are never let out on their own. * Dogs are allowed on furniture and to sleep in bed - I try to follow whatever is the "norm" for them * I have no problem taking dogs in my car to run errands (if they have separation issues) or to have variety at Spring Creek or other nearby walking areas. * For the senior loved ones: there is an enclosed flight of stairs to get into the house. Carrying pups up stairs is NOT an issue - I had an injured gal who was limping and I just picked her up to make it easier. (50-ish lbs)

About: I have owned dogs my whole life (big and small, love em all!), and currently live in town with my senior rescue pup! I have experience with dogs with behavioral challenges and medical intricacies, and can commit to always treating your animal like one of my own. I love all the things Steamboat has to offer our animals— walks on the river, snowy hikes, time at the park, etc! I work from home, so I have somewhat flexible availability for drop-ins as well. If your pup gets along with others, I would happily host them at my house, or bring my pup to your place. I am happy to provide both pet sitting and house sitting references. About Me: I've lived in Steamboat since graduating college 4 years ago. Until this school year, I was an elementary school teacher. Now, I work for a local mental health nonprofit doing youth services. I love hiking, skiing, reading, cooking, and spending all the time I can with my own dog. I currently work at a local nonprofit, and am mostly working from home. I have some flexibility to determine my own hours, so am able to make mid-day walks and check-ins possible. I live in a highly dog friendly house, with a yard in the back. My own dog gets 3 good walks a day, and I am happy to provide this same service to your animal! I am a responsible, year-round Steamboat gal who will treat your pet like one of my own.

About: I have been caring for pups since childhood and have a true passion for animals. Dog sitting was my first means of income as a child with my neighbors (and parents) allowing me to care for their dogs into my home while also growing up with a number of dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and rodents. My love for animals has only grown and for the first time in my life I have no pets of my own. For that reason, Rover is the perfect opportunity for me to spend time where my heart is and surround myself with what I love while also helping others. I have a great deal of experience training puppies as well as handling dogs with behavioral issues. Look forward to hearing from you! I am available to provide frequent care every day of the week. I work 4-6 hour shifts 3-4 days per week and love playing with pups the rest of my free time. Let me know your needs and I can work with you! As I am unable to care for pets in my home I will be happy to follow all rules and guidelines you have in place for the care of your home and pets!

“Alyssa is reliable and communicates great! Took pictures of Sully and Oscar on their walk. Looking forward to more dog walks and dog sitting!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats always in the house, and I have experience caring for all kinds of pets; dogs, cats, rabbits, mice/rats, birds, etc. I also spent 5 years on active duty and will ensure your property stays safe and secure. My current day work allows me time throughout the day to be able to go let dogs out, feed and water, etc. I also have reliable transportation. I do not care for pets in my home, but I am more than happy to travel to you to help care for your loved ones!

About: Located in Steamboat Springs I’ve been caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes my whole life. I have 7 years of professional animal experience from dog and cat grooming to caring for exotic pets such as spiders and reptiles. I have a soft spot for senior pets and those with behavioral problems, but I love to care for pets of all shapes and sizes. I'm available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and am comfortable administering medications if your pet needs. I've cared for pets all my life and can promise to give your furry friends all the love while you're gone! I'm very flexible and can promise quick communication and scheduling! I'm currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule so I can adapt to what times you might need. I also am very quick to respond to any communication you send. I promise to watch your pups attentively and be sure to keep them occupied and take care of any needs they have from walking to medication!

About: I have been taking care of neighbor's cats and dogs since I was a kid, and love spending time with all types of pets. I've worked with very timid dogs, as well as energetic puppies. I'll be happy to meet whatever needs you or your pets have! I have a very flexible schedule at the moment, so I'll have a lot of free time for pet sitting or walking. I'd also be available for recurring appointments if needed! I'm a bit of an overprotective pet parent, and will ensure that your pets are kept safe. I usually ask for any directions to be written down to make sure I have all the details about your pet!

About: I am an animal lover and will do anything in my power to ensure your furbaby is well-cared for and communication is clear and exceeds your expectations so you can ease your worries and take care of business or enjoy your vacation. I am available for drop in visits morning, throughout the day and at the end of the day. If your pet needs special attention let me know! If they are cat friendly they can stay at my place otherwise I can make arrangements to potentially stay at your place if your pet needs overnight care. My attention to detail and deep compassion will guide my care as I communicate with you to best understand needs, schedule and expectation of care. I love direct, clear communication that helps us make a plan and communicate any changes or challenges along the way.

About: I’ve grown up around almost every type of animal and have even helped my dog deliver her babies! I absolutely treat my animals better than I treat myself and would without a doubt do the same for any other animal too! I have some downtime between jobs at the moment and would love to fill it with some more furry friends! When I am back to work, I can absolutely continue to make pet care work if it’s a good fit. Always make sure they’re fed, played with/walked, and above all loved! I have experience with rowdy puppies and have way too much patience with animals and will always make sure they’re comfortable and safe in any situation.
