Her home, yard, and personal pets are all very welcoming, and we received many updates and photos throughout the stay. My only hesitation in leaving this rave review is that her calendar may fill up and we won't be able to book in the future! :). Thank you for everything!!”

She was out in their big back yard playing fetch with the kids and having a fabulous time. Ashley and her family took Alpine for a hike at Devil’s Canyon and she also received a walk the following day. You just couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter!

This really helped us to know that our pup was having a fun time and being well cared for. We are grateful for Dan and his pups for the wonderful day they gave our pup while we were dealing with serious health issues.

About: Aloha! I’m Amber, a pet sitter based in Grand Junction, Colorado, with 14 years of pet care experience. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, as well as a wide variety of breeds and sizes, ranging from Yorkies to Great Danes. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, and I tailor their care accordingly. - I currently offer boarding in my home for up to three dogs from the same household at a time, allowing me to provide each guest with plenty of individual attention and care. My goal is to provide a comfortable, home-like environment where your pets can feel safe, settled, and cared for while you’re away. - In addition to dogs, I have previous experience caring for cats, birds, reptiles, and other small animals. I’m not currently offering standalone boarding services for these pets; however, additional pets from the same household may be considered when boarding your dog. - At this time, I’m only offering boarding in my home and am not available for in-home pet sitting at other locations. Feel free to message me with any questions or to discuss your pet’s individual needs! I work from home, so I’ll be available throughout your pet’s stay to help maintain their normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable and secure. Home Environment: My home has a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, play, and potty breaks. We also live just a short drive from a local trail and park. I have a 20 lb male Havanese who lives in the home. - Drop-Off & Introductions: I typically do a quick door hand-off at drop-off to help keep the transition calm and minimize distractions. Once your dog(s) come inside with me, they’re given time to explore the space at their own pace. We’ll unpack their things and give them some time to settle in and get comfortable before introducing them to my dog. Introductions are done one-on-one, gradually, and under my close supervision. - Exclusive Care & Multiple-Household Bookings: For safety and to help everyone adjust comfortably, I accept no more than three guest dogs at a time. For dogs who are reactive or have higher exercise and enrichment needs, including some high-energy and sporting breeds, I may limit this to two depending on my partner’s schedule so I can provide each dog with the attention they need. I’ve recently opened up my schedule to accept weekend daycare bookings from different households at the same time. At the time I respond to your initial request, I actively consider your dog(s) on my schedule while we’re ironing out the details. If another household is interested in the same dates, I’ll always let you know and discuss it with you first. I will not accept another household once your dog(s) are already in my care unless it has been discussed and approved by you prior to arrival. If you prefer exclusive care, please let me know! There is no additional charge for exclusive care, and once your booking is confirmed as exclusive, I will not accept another household for the same dates or overlapping drop-off/pick-up times. If there happens to be a same-day drop-off/pick-up conflict due to close timing windows, I’ll work with you to see if your dog(s) are comfortable riding in my car or truck and whether pickup or drop-off at your home would be a good option. Certain households will automatically receive exclusive care, including females in heat, intact males, puppies who are still completing their vaccination series, and senior dogs with modified vaccination schedules. For multiple-household bookings, I will confirm that all dogs are up to date on core vaccinations plus Bordetella. Safety comes first, and multiple-household bookings will always depend on each dog’s temperament, needs, and compatibility. - Supervision & Separation: Playtime is supervised, and separation from my own dog using a playpen or kennel is available as needed for individual enrichment, personal space, or throughout the stay if your dog(s) are more comfortable on their own. Dogs are also separated during mealtimes based on their individual needs, feeding habits, and comfort levels. - Routines & Training Tools: If your dog normally sleeps or eats in a crate, please bring it with them when possible so I can maintain their usual routine. Depending on the size of their crate or setup, I may not always be able to accommodate their typical arrangement, so please let me know in advance. Barking is completely expected, so please don’t worry if your dog tends to be vocal. I just appreciate a heads up! If your dog currently uses a clicker, e-collar, muzzle, or other training tool as part of their established routine, I’m happy to continue using it during their stay. Please let me know ahead of time and provide any instructions needed for proper use. - Last-Minute Bookings & Availability: For last-minute bookings, I may have prior commitments that require me to be out of the home for a short period. If so, I’ll let you know prior to confirming. My partner, Dalton, also works from home and would be here during that timeframe to watch over your dog(s). I also have two Furbo cameras set up in the home so I can check in while I’m away. - At this time, I only offer pet sitting in my home and am not available for in-home sitting at other locations.

About: I grew up on a farm with cats, dogs, pigs, goats and horses! I worked with a breeder so I have lots of experience with puppies and mothers. Most dogs I've spent time with are high energy dogs like Australian shepard's but I've also spent time with low energy like Saint Bernards. I am a travel occupational therapist currently taking a break from moving around. Currently not working so I am very free! I love morning walks. I live in a camper but your fur baby will not be home alone! Our campground has a fenced dog run and I would love to visit some parks if comfortable. I can visit your pet within their home at any time of day.

About: I grew up with several dogs growing up. Now I have my own best friend who’s a lab mix. I enjoy walking dogs and caring for them! They make me happy! It would be a privilege to care for your dog or cat while you’re away from home. I’m currently self employed and work part time. This gives me flexibility in caring for your pet. When I care for your pet my life will revolve around their needs and schedule. I want you to rest assured that your pet will be loved and cared for when you’re away. I will follow your rules and guidelines for your pet. Each home and pet needs vary. I’m here to give trusted love and support for your pet while you’re away.

About: I have always believed that a house isn’t a home without the unconditional love of a dog. Throughout my life, my happiest moments have been defined by furry family members greeting me at the door with wet noses, endless kisses, and wagging tails. Yet, like any devoted pet parent, I know the familiar pang of guilt and anxiety that comes with walking out the door—whether it’s just for a quick daily errand, a long day at work, or a much-needed vacation. Our pets thrive on routine, familiarity, and love. Leaving them behind is often the hardest part of being a pet owner. Now that I am retired, I have dedicated my time and passion to help other dog lovers minimize or even solve this dilemma. Imagine a life where traveling or working doesn't mean leaving your pet only to face an empty house or even worse, confined to a kennel. Instead, you can step away with complete peace of mind, knowing your fur babies are in the hands of someone who will care for them like family and support the routines they are used to and comfortable with. I would love the opportunity to do this for you and your sweet friend(s). Please take a look at the services I offer, and contact me today so we can keep your pets happy, safe, and loved while you are away. I cannot imagine a more rewarding way to spend my retirement than caring for your beloved pups and kitties. To ensure the best possible care, I always request an initial meet-and-greet with you and your pet(s), ideally in their own comfortable environment. Once we establish that we are a great fit, we can begin scheduling regular visits. Over time, as your pet becomes completely comfortable with me, my home will also be open to them for overnight stays and day care should the need arise. I look forward to learning your specific routines to keep your pets safe and sound. Their time with me will be fully tailored to whatever your fur baby loves most—whether that means playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, enjoying mealtime, or taking trips to the park. Regardless of whether I am walking your dog or dropping in to check on your kitty, safety is always my top priority.

About: I’ve always had a pet of my own until early 2026 when my senior dog had passed, however I do have a history of working at a veterinary hospital. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I’m dependable, responsible, and attentive to details. My goal is not only to care for pets while their owners are away, but to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and treated like family. I’m currently working part-time and looking for the opportunity to still stay active and enjoy my free time. I have a very open schedule and I’m committed to following each owner’s instructions and making sure their pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while they are away. The safety and well-being of every pet in my care is my top priority. I believe trust is built through reliability, communication, and treating each pet with patience and respect. I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel secure and maintain their normal routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, pay attention to each pet’s individual needs, and keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.

Your dog will also get regular walks and plenty of pat pats. Works from home, your pup will have plenty of company, lots of love, and free access to our fenced backyard and the house throughout the day. My husband and I have two spoiled senior dogs and know how important it is to find someone you trust. At night, each dog has their own cozy kennel to sleep in, and I encourage bringing a favorite blanket or toy to help them feel at home. Also, if your dog doesn’t exactly get along with other dogs, that’s okay, my dogs will go to their aunties house. I want whats best and safe.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and trained vet tech with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, and both saltwater and freshwater fish. As a mother of three and the proud owner of 5 cats and 2 dogs, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I bring patience, reliability, and a calm, compassionate approach to every visit. I specialize in drop-ins and overnight care in your home, helping pets stay comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I’m also available for holiday pet care, so families can travel with peace of mind knowing their pets are being loved and cared for like my own. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I’m available in the mornings, evenings, weekends, and for overnight stays, which lets me give pets consistent attention and companionship. Whether it’s a walk to start the day or a cozy check‑in at night, I make pet care a natural part of my routine. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their own home. I follow their normal schedule, meals, walks, medication, playtime, and quiet time, so everything feels familiar and stress‑free for them. I’m attentive to safety, always checking doors, gates, and surroundings, and I keep their space clean and calm. When I stay overnight, I make sure they have steady companionship and a peaceful environment. I also send regular updates and photos so owners always feel connected and confident while they’re away.

About: I have had pets of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs and have cared for all their needs. Growing up with pets has helped me develop empathy for creatures that cannot verbally communicate with us humans. I am currently racing on the cycling team at Colorado Mesa University as well as studying and walking dogs will fit perfectly into active time off the bike. I will make sure all the dog’s needs are met, whether it be water, finding a spot to go potty or keeping their paws off the hot pavement.
