“I highly recommend Sherry! They have a great fenced in property with plenty of room for the pups to run and play. They treated my dog like their own. I couldn't be happier and will absolutely use them again!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all ages and personalities—from gentle senior cats to rowdy, playful pups. My background in a pet store taught me animal behavior, nutrition, and how to make every pet feel safe and happy. I’m skilled at giving medications, handling high-energy pets, and offering extra TLC to seniors. With me, your furry friend will get expert care, plenty of love, and endless tail wags! Pet care is part of my everyday life—I share my home with three of my own furry companions, so love, playtime, and feeding schedules are already built into my routine. I’m used to early morning walks, regular grooming, cuddle breaks, and keeping a close eye on health and behavior. Caring for pets isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s simply part of who I am.🐾💕 I make safety my first priority, keeping pets happy and secure. I care for each pet as if they are my own. All animals deserve kindness, respect, and purrr-sonalized care.😌
“Melissa was awesome. She sent pictures every day and kept us informed. She responded quickly when we had questions. I will definitely be using her services again. Charlee came home happy. Thanks Melissa”
“Oksana took in our dog Luka for two nights and gave us frequent updates on how he was doing, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We could tell that Luka was well cared for and that he liked his stay. I would definitely have Oksana take care of him again.”
“Jessica was so kind and wonderful! She responded very quickly when I had questions or wanted updates on our boys while we were away. They both seemed happy when we picked them up and energetic. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Left my dog feeling stressed because this was his first overnight away from home! He truly could not have been in better hands! I received pictures during his stay and this was so comforting. Thank you, Lynne!”
“Rikki was great. We needed a sitter on a short notice and she was very accommodating. Communication was great. Rikki sent daily updates with photos and videos of our dog. Our dog loved her. Thanks Rikki!”
“This was my first time using this service. It was a last minute need and Tami was very accommodating and kind. I could not have asked for a better person, home or experience for my little Bella. Tami went above and beyond. Got lots of updates, photos ect. Her home is a good fit, her 2 little fur babies are great. Again a person could not want or expect more.”
About: I have had dogs since I was a kid and I couldn’t imagine life without them! I have helped family members, friends and neighbors care for their dogs over the years. I enjoy walking and playing with our dog and will include your sweet baby in our family walks and play! My backyard is safe and secure and has plenty of room for dogs to play and run! I have a doggie door and have found that dogs figure out how to use it with ease, if they don’t have one at their home. My grandchildren are here periodically and are also dog lovers! I’m currently working part time, 3 days per week, 4 hours per day. My dog and I walk about 3 miles, most days. The rest of the day is spent with her following me around and helping me with my chores, even help me go potty!!! I have a fully fenced yard with room to play. I currently have 1 dog, she’s a silver lab and is about 9 years old. She’s a good girl, most of the time! My dog gets dog treats on our walks and throughout the day. She currently eats twice per day, 6 am and 5:30 pm. We are able to adjust schedules for your dog, if necessary.
“Jonathan was wonderful with our dogs, and we will definitely use his services again. Our furry children were very comfortable with him and tired and happy when we brought them home.”
About: Our family had dogs since I was a young boy; I've had many since then. I've also trained them. We also had fish, hamsters, birds, reptiles and lizards as pets. Some 15 years ago, one of my dogs went blind... I cared for him for 10 yrs after that until he passed away. He never left my side. A few years ago, I got another dog but she died of cancer last year. At the moment, I don't have a dog (she died) but I have 5 cats. I do rather well with both and my cats are quite used to dogs. I used to live on a ranch where we raised Arabians; I was responsible for feeding & caring as many as 18 horses. When I was younger, I rode often and played polo. My father passed 10 yrs ago and his wife sold our ranch. I am available to feed horses provided that I'm paid the time it takes to travel back and forth. I am available for cat/dog sitting & feeding. If you need dog boarding, please let me know if you pet gets along with cats. I work from home, so I am a home quite a bit. I also have a flexible schedule, and this can be accomodated to work around certain issues or conflicts. Please contact me with any questions, concerns, or comments. I have a large (unfenced) yard, but I am willing to take your pet on walks in my neighborhood, as needed. I live one block away from a park. I am home quite often, so your pet will rarely be left alone. I am available for drop-ins, visits, or even overnights.
About: Not only have I had many fur babies over the years, I have a very special place in my heart for them. Throughout the years, I have also cared for other people's fur babies. I currently work full time with set hours. I can easily accommodate to morning and evenings schedules, including weekends. There isn't much in a schedule I couldn't accommodate. I have a privacy fencedbyard with lots of room to run. It is a very safe area to have dogs in and close proximity to the library for walking.
About: I've worked with dogs as a Vet assistant for the last 7 years. I have always loved working with animals! I am a trusted dog sitter for close family and friends. I enjoy doing daily activities with the dogs I care for, loving on them, then sending them home refreshed with a nice bath so they are clean for pickup. I am available 7 days a week to care for pups of all ages and sizes. I am home most days all day, so I am able to provide complete supervision and activities for your pet. I am good with pets and making them feel comfortable and loved. I have a fenced in yard with a separate fenced yard just for pets. I have two friendly dogs that will keep your pet company with their stay, but will be kept separate and will not interact with your pups one on one.
About: During college I volunteered at animal shelter, realizing how much I adored dogs and cats! I learned how to support senior dogs, puppies, administer meds, and help dogs with trauma. I ended up adopting my soul dog from there and she was with us for 10 plus years. She was on meds for the last 2 years of her life! We recently lost our German Shepard after 11 years, so our house is happy to support your babies. I am a stay at home mom, so I have the ability to love your pet all day! I run, so can take your pet for jogs. We have a great dog run backyard area, with a doggy door so your pet has access to potty too! I’ve watched dogs for friends for years, and our dog Thor would love some company! I am a stay at home mom, to our toddler, and my husband works from home! We have all day to help support your pups needs, and we don’t leave the house too often. We walk moose, our dog, 2-3 times a day, and he has access to go outside whenever he’d like. We have a fenced dog run, back yard, a doggy door, and minimal stairs. We have plenty of space up and downstairs if the dog wants a break or likes to decompress! We both work from home, and when we leave our dog, we want them to be loved and safe so we want to provide that environment for you.
About: I grew up on a 44-acre farm, gaining hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from cats and dogs to chickens and pigs. I know how to provide responsible, attentive care. Currently, I am a proud pet parent to my two fur babies: Mondo, my cat, and Bella, my senior pit mix. They are both incredibly loving, and we are always happy to have friends over for supervised playdates! I am focused on earning some extra money while doing what I love most: taking care of fur babies in my free time. I recently moved into my mom's place, which is conveniently located near the reservoir. It is a beautiful, spacious area that is perfect for outdoor adventures and exercise! I will care for your pet as if they were my own, with your pet's safety and comfort as my top priorities. If your pet has any special requirements—such as medication, specific dietary needs, or routine requests—please let me know when booking so I can provide the best care possible

About: I work full time as a remote paralegal at a law firm. I own 4 fur babies of my own and know how important it is for them to get the care and attention that they deserve. Don’t stress while you are away at the office, because I am here to give them all the love and attention for you. I work full time as a remote paralegal and therefore am able to stop by your home during the day or night to check on your fur babies for you. I care for your dogs as if they are my own. Walks, play time, daily massages and kisses. If your dog requires certain accommodations I am happy to comply with those specifics as well.
“Rayelle was fantastic while caring for our cat for 10 days. She was prompt at the 2 drop in visits per day, gave him lots of love and scrubbles while there. Kept the litter box clean and everything nice for our return. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her for others who have to leave their fur babies!”
“Once again, we came home to four happy and healthy kitties! Cathy came every day for ten days to feed them canned food and supplements, clean their litterboxes, and give them some love and attention. She was very conscientious about the timing of her visits so they occurred between the schedule of the automatic feeders for dry food. She has gotten to know each cat and what their petting, playing, attention preferences are, and she sends great photos of her interactions with them. We don't like leaving our babies, but knowing we can count on Cathy to take perfect care of them is very comforting! We are so appreciative and thankful for her and highly recommend her!”

About: My husband and I are new empty nesters and we love caring for dogs & cats. During Covid we lost our beloved Lulu and would love to help other families while we continue our search for our next full time four legged friend.

I am home in Wetmore all day Friday through Sunday to give your dog or cat all the attention they deserve. Plenty of time for cuddles or walks. We have mostly hard surface flooring inside - so pets are welcome everywhere at my house. I have raised dogs and cats from birth to end of life - and I love them all equally. We have 2 cats in our home and our neighbors have very docile friendly dogs if your dog needs to be around other dogs.

I have epilepsy and so I have had a very difficult time keeping any traditional job and so I have a lot of down time right now. I love animals. I remember when I was young, I wanted to be a zoo keeper and I spelled it "zoo kepper". Currently I have two dogs and one cat and they are my heart. My main concern in water. I want to make sure my dogs (or any dog) always has access to water. Everyone has specific ways of caring for their pets. Personally, I like to play with my dogs and make sure they are as happy as can be. My cat just wants love so we give her lots of love.

“I needed someone special to administer IV fluids to my cat while I was out of town. Melissa was great. She showed up right on time and handled a task with ease that would make many uncomfortable. I also appreciated that she sent me pictures of my cat while I was gone. I will definitely use her again.”

“Carson loves spending time with Jason, Sherry, and his doggy friends. He sleeps very well when he spends the day. I so appreciate the great care Carson gets. I highly recommend Sherry and Jason.”
“Brooke was a lifesaver for us. We were traveling through the area with our small dogs in an RV, and she was able to watch them so we could day trip the area and not have to worry. They took to her immediately and we felt very comfortable leaving our boys with her. Pictures she sent showed they had a good time!”

I will give lots of time, personalized attention, walks and love to your pet while you are away. I offer in-home pet sitting in my home in town, or in your home depending on your location. This personalized and individualized care compared to boarding or kenneling seems to be preferable for happy pets and owners. I'm fully retired and while I enjoy the outdoors -- hiking and walking, camping and fishing, I also have plenty of time to devote to caring for pets whose owners are busy or away. My yard is fully fenced and conveniently located in the town of Westcliffe. If boarding, your pet would be allowed to treat our home like its own. If in your home (within a reasonable distance), scheduled visits will meet your specific requirements such as play time, short walks and feeding schedules.

“OUTSTANDING CARE FOR PRINCESS. WE (MY WIFE AND I) BOTH RECEIVED DIFFERENT PICTURES OF PRINCES PLAYING WITH ANOTHER DOG. SHE WAS NOT SCARED OR NERVOUS, AND NOT SHAKING AT ALL WHEN WE PICKED HER UP. WE HAD A VERY BAD EXPERIENCE WITH ANOTHER FACILITY WHERE PRINCESS HAD TO STAY OVERNIGHT. IT WAS TERRIFYING FOR PRINCESS AND VERY UPSETTING TO US. WE WILL CONTINUE USING ROVER AS THE NEED ARISES FOR OUT OF TOWN MEDICAL TRIPS FOR MY WIFE OR ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROGRAM.”

About: I have been working with all different types of dogs my whole life. Ive owened Great Danes to Chihuahuas. Recently have been walking and sitting dogs for friends. Dogs have an energy that you don't get from working with any other animal or human. I have found working with dogs makes it more fun to "work". I currently am unable to own my own dog, but am very excited to be able to help other owners out. I also enjoy getting outside and being active. If your dog likes to jog, I don't have a problem doing so. Fetch or the dog parks are also fun alternatives, if I know owners are ok with it. I’m currently working overnight shift (9:45pm-6:15am)Sat-Wed, but have plenty of time during the day to take care of your pets needs. I currently don’t have any pets, so I’d love to be able to dote on yours while you’re away. I prefer to sit in the home of the animal that is needing the care, as I feel that makes for an easier transition for the pet.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and the level of care I put into every pet I watch. I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, and even horses for over 10 years, and I currently pet sit for four dogs regularly. I’m comfortable with puppies, including basic training and routines, as well as senior pets who may need extra patience, attention, or medication. I’m extremely responsible, dependable, and always on time. I truly love animals and take my role seriously—I want every pet to feel safe, happy, and fulfilled while their owners are away, not just cared for but genuinely comfortable and loved. Pet care fits really well into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to focus on the pets I’m caring for. I’m happy to do house sitting, extended stays, or regular drop-ins for potty breaks, feeding, walks, and lots of attention and love. I plan my schedule around the pets’ routines to make sure they get consistent care, and I take being reliable and on time very seriously. Making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for is always a priority for me. I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routines, whether that’s in my home or in a client’s home. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and attention. I always keep their space clean and safe, and I pay close attention to their behavior so I can notice if anything seems off. I’m comfortable giving extra care to puppies who need structure and training, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace or medication. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, happy, and as stress-free as possible while their owners are away.

As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible weekday schedule that allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as extended care when needed. My routine allows pets frequent check-ins, consistent feeding times, medication administration, and plenty of attention and supervision. I have multiple areas in my home where your pet can stay either with my pets or separately, depending on their comfort level. Pets are welcome inside, and if they prefer or require crate time, I’m happy to provide a crate as well. I prioritize a calm, safe, and flexible environment tailored to each pet’s needs.

I'm currently looking for work, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I am available most Sun., Mon., Thur., Sat. Between 11am-3pm. I can follow carefully written instructions if needed. I will feed and water your pets, walk dogs or play if needed and cats get play time.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I grew up on a family farm in the Midwest, we raised multiple breeds and 4H projects included dog training. I helped establish two dog training programs in two prisons in the Midwest. I served for a few years on the board of a nonprofit no kill shelter in the Midwest. I have two American Shelter Dogs that are well socialized and love going out on the trails. Both behaved well enough I am 100% comfortable off leash as long as trail rules allow. My boys are just part of life in the country. We live on 40 acres. I have 1.5 miles of walking trails. We go on regular walks at home for the week we don’t make it to the trails. I am self employed and try to maintain an available schedule. My home offers an open floor plan and the outdoors offers 40 acres with 1.5 miles of maintained walking trails. Outside time with your pup will be on leash until I am comfortable with our bond. Visits at your home will be an opportunity for play time in their own environment based on their likes and needs.

“I highly recommend Sherry! They have a great fenced in property with plenty of room for the pups to run and play. They treated my dog like their own. I couldn't be happier and will absolutely use them again!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all ages and personalities—from gentle senior cats to rowdy, playful pups. My background in a pet store taught me animal behavior, nutrition, and how to make every pet feel safe and happy. I’m skilled at giving medications, handling high-energy pets, and offering extra TLC to seniors. With me, your furry friend will get expert care, plenty of love, and endless tail wags! Pet care is part of my everyday life—I share my home with three of my own furry companions, so love, playtime, and feeding schedules are already built into my routine. I’m used to early morning walks, regular grooming, cuddle breaks, and keeping a close eye on health and behavior. Caring for pets isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s simply part of who I am.🐾💕 I make safety my first priority, keeping pets happy and secure. I care for each pet as if they are my own. All animals deserve kindness, respect, and purrr-sonalized care.😌
“Melissa was awesome. She sent pictures every day and kept us informed. She responded quickly when we had questions. I will definitely be using her services again. Charlee came home happy. Thanks Melissa”
“Oksana took in our dog Luka for two nights and gave us frequent updates on how he was doing, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We could tell that Luka was well cared for and that he liked his stay. I would definitely have Oksana take care of him again.”
“Jessica was so kind and wonderful! She responded very quickly when I had questions or wanted updates on our boys while we were away. They both seemed happy when we picked them up and energetic. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Left my dog feeling stressed because this was his first overnight away from home! He truly could not have been in better hands! I received pictures during his stay and this was so comforting. Thank you, Lynne!”
“Rikki was great. We needed a sitter on a short notice and she was very accommodating. Communication was great. Rikki sent daily updates with photos and videos of our dog. Our dog loved her. Thanks Rikki!”
“Jonathan was wonderful with our dogs, and we will definitely use his services again. Our furry children were very comfortable with him and tired and happy when we brought them home.”
About: Our family had dogs since I was a young boy; I've had many since then. I've also trained them. We also had fish, hamsters, birds, reptiles and lizards as pets. Some 15 years ago, one of my dogs went blind... I cared for him for 10 yrs after that until he passed away. He never left my side. A few years ago, I got another dog but she died of cancer last year. At the moment, I don't have a dog (she died) but I have 5 cats. I do rather well with both and my cats are quite used to dogs. I used to live on a ranch where we raised Arabians; I was responsible for feeding & caring as many as 18 horses. When I was younger, I rode often and played polo. My father passed 10 yrs ago and his wife sold our ranch. I am available to feed horses provided that I'm paid the time it takes to travel back and forth. I am available for cat/dog sitting & feeding. If you need dog boarding, please let me know if you pet gets along with cats. I work from home, so I am a home quite a bit. I also have a flexible schedule, and this can be accomodated to work around certain issues or conflicts. Please contact me with any questions, concerns, or comments. I have a large (unfenced) yard, but I am willing to take your pet on walks in my neighborhood, as needed. I live one block away from a park. I am home quite often, so your pet will rarely be left alone. I am available for drop-ins, visits, or even overnights.
About: I've worked with dogs as a Vet assistant for the last 7 years. I have always loved working with animals! I am a trusted dog sitter for close family and friends. I enjoy doing daily activities with the dogs I care for, loving on them, then sending them home refreshed with a nice bath so they are clean for pickup. I am available 7 days a week to care for pups of all ages and sizes. I am home most days all day, so I am able to provide complete supervision and activities for your pet. I am good with pets and making them feel comfortable and loved. I have a fenced in yard with a separate fenced yard just for pets. I have two friendly dogs that will keep your pet company with their stay, but will be kept separate and will not interact with your pups one on one.
About: During college I volunteered at animal shelter, realizing how much I adored dogs and cats! I learned how to support senior dogs, puppies, administer meds, and help dogs with trauma. I ended up adopting my soul dog from there and she was with us for 10 plus years. She was on meds for the last 2 years of her life! We recently lost our German Shepard after 11 years, so our house is happy to support your babies. I am a stay at home mom, so I have the ability to love your pet all day! I run, so can take your pet for jogs. We have a great dog run backyard area, with a doggy door so your pet has access to potty too! I’ve watched dogs for friends for years, and our dog Thor would love some company! I am a stay at home mom, to our toddler, and my husband works from home! We have all day to help support your pups needs, and we don’t leave the house too often. We walk moose, our dog, 2-3 times a day, and he has access to go outside whenever he’d like. We have a fenced dog run, back yard, a doggy door, and minimal stairs. We have plenty of space up and downstairs if the dog wants a break or likes to decompress! We both work from home, and when we leave our dog, we want them to be loved and safe so we want to provide that environment for you.
About: I grew up on a 44-acre farm, gaining hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from cats and dogs to chickens and pigs. I know how to provide responsible, attentive care. Currently, I am a proud pet parent to my two fur babies: Mondo, my cat, and Bella, my senior pit mix. They are both incredibly loving, and we are always happy to have friends over for supervised playdates! I am focused on earning some extra money while doing what I love most: taking care of fur babies in my free time. I recently moved into my mom's place, which is conveniently located near the reservoir. It is a beautiful, spacious area that is perfect for outdoor adventures and exercise! I will care for your pet as if they were my own, with your pet's safety and comfort as my top priorities. If your pet has any special requirements—such as medication, specific dietary needs, or routine requests—please let me know when booking so I can provide the best care possible
