House Sitting in Toponas

About: Having been a dog lover since childhood, I’ve always had dog sitting gigs for a side hustle. I also managed a professional boarding kennel for 5 years where I learned to care for pets of all sizes, personalities and needs. The great outdoors are my life, and I have grown into a passion hunting dogs, and have spent the last 4 years training my Labrador retriever. I’m mostly available on weekends (Friday-Sunday), but depending on your dog’s daily needs, I can be flexible. I live in Oak Creek, but work in Steamboat Springs at a very dog friendly environment. I ensure your pet gets the basic care they need, plus extra love, photos, and time outside. I am flexible on whether you want me to stay in your home, or in mine, again depending on the specific pet’s needs and location.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and while I haven’t had a dog of my own, I’ve volunteered at the Humane Society and take pet care seriously. I bring genuine affection, attention to detail, and a calm, reliable presence—this isn’t just a side gig for me, it’s something I truly enjoy. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I enjoy making space in my routine to give pets the attention and care they deserve. I care for pets like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their usual routines, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and always keep their space clean and calm. Whether I’m in your home or mine, their well-being is my top priority.

“Andie was absolutely amazing with both of our dogs while we were away for more than a week. She took excellent care of them and consistently shared videos from their walks and time spent at home, which gave us great peace of mind. Andie also watered our plants, going above and beyond what we expected. We felt completely comfortable and calm knowing that she was spending quality time with our doggies and paying close attention to all the little details that matter to us. We would highly recommend Andie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter.”

About: I’ve had hands on experience caring for animals my entire life. I grew up in a household with both dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and general care. I’ve also helped care for chickens for a couple of years, which gave me additional experience with maintaining consistent schedules and attention to detail. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped friends, family, and neighbors with their pets. Whether that’s walking dogs, checking in on them while owners are away, or making sure they get the attention and exercise they need. I’m confident handling different energy levels and personalities, from more relaxed pets to those that need extra activity and engagement. I always prioritize safety, follow owner instructions closely, and make sure pets stay on their normal routines, including proper feeding (no people food unless specifically approved). My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible right now, and I’m available most days throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. With a lighter work schedule during the off-season from skiing, I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, and consistency they need. I enjoy staying active, so I’m always happy to take dogs out for walks, longer outings, or just spend quality time with them during the day. I’m also available for last-minute bookings and can adapt to your pet’s routine. I’m looking forward to spending my days with some furry companions and making sure they’re well cared for while you’re away. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making pets feel comfortable in their environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific rules you have in place. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I keep a close eye on pets during walks and outdoor time. I’m respectful of your home and aim to keep everything clean and just as you left it. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and doing well. If caring for pets in my home, I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and pet-safe, with plenty of space for them to relax. I supervise interactions, stick to your pet’s routine, and ensure they get the right balance of activity, rest, and attention. Above all, I treat every pet like my own while maintaining the structure and boundaries that keep them safe and healthy.

About: I have over 30 years experience raising, training, fostering, foster-failing and generally loving and caring for dogs. I work from home so will be with your pet most of the time and I love to go for long walks and runs with them. I am very active (walk, run, hike...) and have a large fenced in yard and a dog park nearby to keep your pup busy and well-exercised. Most of my clients are repeat customers as they find my services truly a "home away from home" for their fur-baby. Although I am new to Rover I have several references available outside of Rover - feel fee to request any you may like to see. I work from home so I am able to let dogs out every few hours in our fenced yard. Also walk at least an hour a day. Dogs in my home are treated as (and sometimes better 😉) than humans. Run of the house and the fenced yard. Lots of love and snuggles. Lots of walks/hikes/fetch/etc.

About: I have been a long time animal owner including dogs and cats from all ages. I have experience with taking care of senior and disabled animals. I’m an all around animal person who also has experience with caring for exotic reptiles, amphibians, birds and aquatic animals. I am able cook for your companion(s) if they have a special diet and I am an attentive person when it comes to animals who need special attention or care. I have had dogs of all sizes and age throughout my life and also currently have dogs and cats of my own. I take dogs out to exercise twice a day and have a spacious home with animal friends for your companion’s stay. Please let me know if you are interested! Pet care is my top priority and only focus. I’m not balancing this with other jobs. Caring for animals is what I love and what I do full-time. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or drop-in visits, I plan my entire schedule around your pet’s needs to ensure they get consistent, attentive, and loving care every time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I treat every animal like family. I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. Whether that means sticking to their specific feeding schedule, giving them space to relax, or offering lots of playtime and snuggles. I maintain a calm, clean environment, pay close attention to behavior or mood changes, and communicate regularly with pet parents to ensure peace of mind. I’m happy to accommodate special needs, medications, or quirks. Whatever helps your pet feel happiest and most at home.

About: I genuinely love animals. I grew up with two dogs and a cat. I’ve watched over other family dogs and cats for weeks and even months at a time. I work at most 6 hour shifts per day and 4 days per week so I have plenty of free time for play, walking and cuddles. I currently live with one pup who I walk daily before work and we love going on hikes or to the lake on a nice day
