“Kaitlin was fantastic! Very helpful, accommodating and timely with communication. She sent several photos of my dog while he was staying with her. Cannot thank you enough for caring for my dog, I know he was in good hands.”
“Michael is a very nice person who took in my 2 small dogs last minute while we were visiting Glenwood Springs for a family weekend getaway. My dogs were stressed out staying at a hotel and I needed to find a sitter fast. Michael greeted us outside of his very nice community located right near the Colorado river. He was very welcoming and patient and gave excellent care to my dogs. He followed all of my care instructions and my pups were happy and wagging when I picked them up. I would highly recommend him to watch your pets!”
About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I understand that every animal has unique needs, personalities, and routines. I’ve worked with pets of many different temperaments, behavioral challenges, and health conditions, so I’m comfortable adapting my care to ensure each pet feels safe, understood, and well cared for. I approach every sitting opportunity with a strong sense of responsibility and professionalism, while also providing genuine love, patience, and attention. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra care, I strive to create a positive and comfortable experience for both you and your pet. I am currently working in healthcare Monday-Friday 7am-4pm so weekdays are best for evening sitting or boarding pets that can handle being alone for that time. I am completely free on the weekends. I am an early riser and love to get out and enjoy the sunshine with a pet but am happy to stay close to home for pet needs. I do prefer to walk on leash as I don’t have a fenced in area and do like to ensure safety of the pets I care for and others around. There is a fenced in dog park a short walk from my apartment to let dogs run off leash if approved by owner. I don’t have any pets in my home so if I am to sit at my residence the pet would be in a secure and private environment. I keep a clean and safe household for all types of pets. I also am respectful and receptive to all household and pet needs on an individual basis.
“Highly recommend! Finding someone on short notice was stressful, esp with a 13 yr old pup, but everything worked out with Stuart! Communication was clear from the start, as well as quick and reassuring. I could tell right away when I dropped Boone off that he was in good hands! So nice to have peace of mind for my old man!”
“Suzanne was great! She answered prior to our drop off in a timely manner and during Katy's stay with her. We got daily updates with pics which was great. We will definitely use her again if we have a need in the area.”
“Nevada went above and beyond to great care of Nigel. She took him out for all of his favorite activities and made him feel right at home. Pretty sure Nigel wanted to stay! She was also incredibly accommodating to our schedule, even driving Nigel two hrs to be at our wedding ceremony. We hope to be back! Definitely recommend.”
“Marie was fabulous! Our dog, Lannister, had the best time being spoiled by her. Loved the photos and the daily updates. We can’t say enough good about our experience with Marie! We will use Marie again and again!”
“Jen and her family were a delight to work with! They integrated our dog right into their family activities and he was happy and well-rested when I picked him up. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Kirsten and her family are amazing and took very good care of my dog. She was very responsive in her communications and made the whole process very easy. I defined recommend her and will leave my dog again with them next time ?”

“As soon as we met Teresa we realized our dog Oreo is in a great hands. She is happy, caring person , very energetic! She invited us inside the house and everything looked super clean which I love! When we left she sent us Oreo ‘s pictures. She even made a special bed for her. And when we came to pick up Oreo. She was excited, happy and playful , so I could guess she really enjoyed to stay at Teresa’s place! Thank you We will recommend you and use your services again when we are back to Colorado ???”
“I use Chris & Laura all the time and trust them to take care of my sweet Elara like she is their own!!! They have helped me in several short notices and have other pups that my dog can play with. I get updates and pictures throughout her stay. 120% recommend!!!”
About: I have leash trained and kennel trained dogs over the years and train animals through gentle repetition and reward. Comfortable with special care such as medication or reasonable accommodation. I work from home during the day. We have a Golden Retriever named Biscuit and a Kelpie named Indi who are both super friendly and ready to play. We would prefer daytime services aside from boarding. I've lovingly cared for dogs since age 10, my mom’s farm in Missouri currently has 5 border collies. I love animals. Family, Neighbors and friends have trusted me for years to provide attentive walking & feeding for their furry companions. Currently since we have ample space on the ranch for outdoor play I have decided to start these services. We will have frequent trips to nearby parks like Sutey Ranch, Red Mt and Crown Mt.
“Lu and his family were absolutely fantastic. We were in Colorado visiting family and needed a Rover to look after our pups while we were there. I was a bit nervous leaving them with someone they hadn’t interacted with before, but I was quickly set at ease with the way Lu welcomed them into their home. I got tons of pictures and the dogs were happy as clams. I would recommend him highly for anyone looking for a sitter that treats your pets as his own. Thank you so much Lu!”
“Aaron was great. Was able to take care of my dogs with short notice. Great communication and flexibility. Will definitely reach out to Aaron again if I need my dogs to be taken care of. Thanks”
“Palacia is fantastic with the doggies! I felt totally comfortable leaving Audi with her for 2 weeks and would not hesitate to use her again. She sends lots of updates and pictures. She has a great space for dogs and Audi loved playing with all her dogs too. She was able to handle Audi's medications with no problem. So grateful for her!!”

“Sara dropped in to visit our pup while we were traveling for the day. During her visits she was very responsive and thorough in her updates. Robin requires some additional attention on walks, Sara seemed while equipped to care of Robin’s quirks. I felt like Robin was in great hands while we were gone :)”

“Suzanne has been fantastic taking care of our cat Dennis. This was the first time we had to travel without our cat and when we came back he was just fine because of Suzanne care. We are now thinking traveling more often if Suzanne is able to take care of our Dennis. Suzanne, thank you for your genuine sense of care for our pet.”

About: I started working at a veterinary office in 2002 when I was in my twenties, I was a vet tech and worked in boarding as well. I worked in several boarding facilities and hospitals taking care of dogs and cats that were in the hospital or being boarded. I have experience giving medications, herbal supplement knowledge, raw food diet, preparing cooked foods, bathing pets, leash aggression and I am very tuned into what dogs and cats are communicating. I have experience training puppies and also working with dominant dogs. I'm currently working as a contract worker as a postpartum doula and I have my own herbal business. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy being in nature with your pets! Hiking and walking peaks feeds my heart and I love renting my friends dogs to go on adventures with. I can easily care for your pet in your home exactly how you care for them. If they need to be in a crate or walked in a specific area in the yard if there is special needs or request. I also enjoy walking around neighborhoods and parks. I also can offer meal preparation if they are on cooked or raw diet.

“Laurie was great! She sent so many photos of Breck and made us feel that she was well taken care of. She also followed all of our requests and went above and beyond. I know our pup is in good hands with Laurie and we will be using her again!”
“My wife and I had a meet & greet with Tamarah a couple of days earlier and found her to be very capable and personable. She was also very responsive to our inquiries and did a great job walking our two dogs. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve had several dogs since I was a kid. Currently we have 4, including one puppy. I’m used to taking care of all dog personalities, like nervous puppies, grouchy old dogs, and hyper pups. I work occasional nights about twice a week from 4:30-10 at a restaurant. I would be out of the house at that time, but I often get cut early so we can further discuss when booking. I am comfortable crating dogs. I am also used to administering pills to dogs and cats, even those who don’t love to take their medication.
“Jasper has been a huge help walking our dog, Birdie. She can be very nervous and somewhat reactive around new people, but he has been incredibly patient and accommodating with her. He’s given her the time and space she needs to slowly warm up, which we really appreciate. Jasper is always timely, responsible, professional, and very communicative. You can truly tell he loves animals, and Birdie is in great hands with him!”
About: I’ve owned and trained two dogs from puppyhood—a Husky and my current German Wirehaired Pointer, Lenny. Training and building a strong relationship with my dogs has always been important to me. Having lived in the Roaring Fork Valley for over 12 years, I spend most of my time outdoors hiking, walking, and exploring. When your pup stays with me—whether for an hour, a day, or overnight—you can count on them getting plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. They’ll come home happy, tired, and ready to snuggle. I work from home so I usually get out for a walk or run in the morning. Afternoon jont to split up the day and then an evening activity depending on what is on the schedule. I have a fenced backyard and Lenny (my pup) to add to the fun. She’s a great companion to other dogs but also great for training.
“Mariah recently came and walked my dog while we were out for a long day with family in town. I will definitely be having her come back! She communicated quickly, took great photos, and my dog loved her!”
About: I worked as a dog walker and pet sitter right after I graduated college, and I’ve looked after friends cats and dogs while they have been traveling. I am a music teacher which means I have many breaks in my work throughout the day, and most of my work is during after-school hours. I will keep an eye on the pets at all times and not leave them unattended. I will keep dogs on leash when out and about, and in a fenced in yard or in the house when not on leash. I will be mindful of allowing pets to interact with other pets based on owner experience and preference.

About: Hi, I’m Sara! I’m a veterinary assistant with years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds—dogs, birds, fish, guinea pigs and more! I’ve lived in the Roaring Fork Valley for 3 years and will be attending Colorado Mountain College this fall to become a vet tech. I have experience with pet sitting and dog walking, and I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, including seniors (I have one of my own!). I’m insured and committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care for your pets like they’re my own. Pet care fits into my routine primarily on Fridays through Sundays, which I keep open for dog walking and pet sitting. I structure those days around the pets’ needs and scheduled visits, making sure I have consistent time blocks for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins so each animal gets reliable care and attention. Because I’m already used to working a structured weekday schedule, I plan my weekends in advance to prioritize pet care bookings and avoid overbooking. I stay flexible for morning, midday, and evening visits depending on what the pet needs, and I make sure I allow enough time between visits so I’m never rushed and each pet gets proper attention. For longer pet sitting stays, I can adjust my routine to accommodate extended care, including overnight stays if needed. In those cases, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible while still balancing my other responsibilities. Overall, I treat pet care as a dedicated part of my weekend schedule, with flexibility for longer stays when needed, while ensuring every pet receives consistent, reliable care. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific medical or behavioral needs. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep pets in their familiar environment and routine as stress-free as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, administering medications if needed, cleaning up after them, and making sure they get appropriate exercise, enrichment, and affection. I also respect the client’s home by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. If I am caring for pets in my own home, I maintain a safe, calm environment with constant supervision when pets are present. I ensure proper separation if needed, secure outdoor access at all times, and keep routines consistent with the owner’s instructions to reduce anxiety. My background working in a veterinary setting also helps me recognize signs of stress or illness early, so I can respond appropriately and communicate with the owner right away if anything seems off. My priority is always the pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being.

Pet care is available from me in the morning and afternoon/evening. I finish work around 3:30 pm on weekdays and have weekends open as well. I am very loving and attentive to detail with all the pets under my care! I can handle high stress environments and I also enjoy solitude.

“Kaitlin was fantastic! Very helpful, accommodating and timely with communication. She sent several photos of my dog while he was staying with her. Cannot thank you enough for caring for my dog, I know he was in good hands.”
“Michael is a very nice person who took in my 2 small dogs last minute while we were visiting Glenwood Springs for a family weekend getaway. My dogs were stressed out staying at a hotel and I needed to find a sitter fast. Michael greeted us outside of his very nice community located right near the Colorado river. He was very welcoming and patient and gave excellent care to my dogs. He followed all of my care instructions and my pups were happy and wagging when I picked them up. I would highly recommend him to watch your pets!”
About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I understand that every animal has unique needs, personalities, and routines. I’ve worked with pets of many different temperaments, behavioral challenges, and health conditions, so I’m comfortable adapting my care to ensure each pet feels safe, understood, and well cared for. I approach every sitting opportunity with a strong sense of responsibility and professionalism, while also providing genuine love, patience, and attention. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra care, I strive to create a positive and comfortable experience for both you and your pet. I am currently working in healthcare Monday-Friday 7am-4pm so weekdays are best for evening sitting or boarding pets that can handle being alone for that time. I am completely free on the weekends. I am an early riser and love to get out and enjoy the sunshine with a pet but am happy to stay close to home for pet needs. I do prefer to walk on leash as I don’t have a fenced in area and do like to ensure safety of the pets I care for and others around. There is a fenced in dog park a short walk from my apartment to let dogs run off leash if approved by owner. I don’t have any pets in my home so if I am to sit at my residence the pet would be in a secure and private environment. I keep a clean and safe household for all types of pets. I also am respectful and receptive to all household and pet needs on an individual basis.
“Highly recommend! Finding someone on short notice was stressful, esp with a 13 yr old pup, but everything worked out with Stuart! Communication was clear from the start, as well as quick and reassuring. I could tell right away when I dropped Boone off that he was in good hands! So nice to have peace of mind for my old man!”
“Suzanne was great! She answered prior to our drop off in a timely manner and during Katy's stay with her. We got daily updates with pics which was great. We will definitely use her again if we have a need in the area.”
“Nevada went above and beyond to great care of Nigel. She took him out for all of his favorite activities and made him feel right at home. Pretty sure Nigel wanted to stay! She was also incredibly accommodating to our schedule, even driving Nigel two hrs to be at our wedding ceremony. We hope to be back! Definitely recommend.”
“Marie was fabulous! Our dog, Lannister, had the best time being spoiled by her. Loved the photos and the daily updates. We can’t say enough good about our experience with Marie! We will use Marie again and again!”
“Jen and her family were a delight to work with! They integrated our dog right into their family activities and he was happy and well-rested when I picked him up. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Kirsten and her family are amazing and took very good care of my dog. She was very responsive in her communications and made the whole process very easy. I defined recommend her and will leave my dog again with them next time ?”
“Willow had a great weekend with Megan! She came home happy and tired. Megan was great at communication, very quick at responding and sending photos. She also handled all of Willows quirks well!”
About: I have been a dog owner for ten years, have plenty of experience watching pets for friends and family, and before that grew up on a farm with all kinds of animals. I have a relaxed, safe household where your dog will feel at home, and you will feel comfortable leaving them while you’re away! I have a flexible work schedule and can work from home, so can accommodate different needs that your pet may have. I’m happy to chat to make a custom plan! I have one friendly and energetic small dog who loves to play fetch. We live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of dogs, our yard is not fenced, but there’s plenty of area around to go for walks on leash.
“I use Chris & Laura all the time and trust them to take care of my sweet Elara like she is their own!!! They have helped me in several short notices and have other pups that my dog can play with. I get updates and pictures throughout her stay. 120% recommend!!!”
About: I have leash trained and kennel trained dogs over the years and train animals through gentle repetition and reward. Comfortable with special care such as medication or reasonable accommodation. I work from home during the day. We have a Golden Retriever named Biscuit and a Kelpie named Indi who are both super friendly and ready to play. We would prefer daytime services aside from boarding. I've lovingly cared for dogs since age 10, my mom’s farm in Missouri currently has 5 border collies. I love animals. Family, Neighbors and friends have trusted me for years to provide attentive walking & feeding for their furry companions. Currently since we have ample space on the ranch for outdoor play I have decided to start these services. We will have frequent trips to nearby parks like Sutey Ranch, Red Mt and Crown Mt.
“Lu and his family were absolutely fantastic. We were in Colorado visiting family and needed a Rover to look after our pups while we were there. I was a bit nervous leaving them with someone they hadn’t interacted with before, but I was quickly set at ease with the way Lu welcomed them into their home. I got tons of pictures and the dogs were happy as clams. I would recommend him highly for anyone looking for a sitter that treats your pets as his own. Thank you so much Lu!”
“We needed someone to keep our dog for the night while we went to a concert in Vail. Lola was so happy at Erin’s with both of her pups, lots of walks, a big fenced yard, and another rover pup to play with. We are so thankful and would absolutely use Erin to watch Lola again in the future.”
“Aaron was great. Was able to take care of my dogs with short notice. Great communication and flexibility. Will definitely reach out to Aaron again if I need my dogs to be taken care of. Thanks”
“Palacia is fantastic with the doggies! I felt totally comfortable leaving Audi with her for 2 weeks and would not hesitate to use her again. She sends lots of updates and pictures. She has a great space for dogs and Audi loved playing with all her dogs too. She was able to handle Audi's medications with no problem. So grateful for her!!”
