“Renata and Tamera are such amazing people! I am so grateful to have had my (Kiwi, the schnauzer) fur baby with them. Their 2 fur babies are LOVES....and I know mine enjoyed having friends to play with. It worked out perfectly for us.

“The dogs loved Billy and being at his place. He was super helpful in communicating with friends about pick up drop off details. Would def have them stay there again when I am in town in need of dog sitting.”

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.😌

About: Pet care experience I am a lifelong dog owner and lover. I have a heart for dogs and feel really at ease with them. I also have experience with senior dogs and providing the extra TLC that they require. In our household, dogs are truly part of the family. My husband and I are retired, so we are able to give pets a lot of attention. When your dog stays with us, he or she will be treated as an important member of the family. Our dog will happily play in the backyard with our dog, and we will all go for walks around the neighborhood together - if approved by you. As a retired person, I have a flexible schedule, and at home and available 24 hours a day to watch your pet in a safe environment. I live on 2 acres (not all fenced) and can walk your dog on our neighborhood roads. I have an enclosed patio/coutyard so they can go outside from the house. The dogs stay inside our house with me. I will leash them when I walk them.

“Melissa was wonderful caring for our puppy Ollie. Ollie settled in quickly at Melissa’s house and loved being with her! Melissa sent us pictures of Ollie and kept us informed of how Ollie was doing. You can tell that Melissa loves dogs and Ollie adored her too. We felt comfortable leaving Ollie with Melissa while we were on a trip. Would highly recommend Melissa! Thank you Melissa!!!”

“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!”

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.

“Shawna and her son were absolutely amazing!!! Super communicative, caring, and professional. Went above and beyond to provide the best care for my cat. My cat loved them! Couldn’t have asked for a better duo. Look forward to booking them again :).”

About: Animal lover with a home to share. I have had pets since I was little and promote positive reinforcement with my pet training. I live on 3.75 acres with access to many walking trails right from the house and love to have a good excuse to get outside through out the day. I work for myself from home so I am very flexible and do not have any other pets that live with me at the moment. I would be happy to help you out when you are away! I work for myself from home so I am very flexible with my availability. I enjoy exercise so an excuse to walk a dog a few times a day works great with my schedule. I have a fenced portion of my yard and do not have any other pets in the home. I am clean and do not have a lot of clutter so there is not a lot of stuff for pets to get into.

“With so much stress in the world it’s very refreshing to feel totally comfortable leaving my furry best friend with someone like Julia. My pup took to her immediately. Highly recommend Julia and I’ll look her up next time I’m in need of a dog sitter in Salida.”

Tami O.

“Cassidy was great! She stayed with our cat while we were out of town for 2 weeks. The house was clean and tidy when we got home and all our plants were looking good too. I would recommend and rebook for sure.”

“Paige was great. I was in Salida working at an event and she picked up and dropped off my dog, she was very punctual. Our two dogs got on well. My dog went on long hikes and was happy and tired when I got her back. Would definitely recommend Paige for anyone needing a sitter or dog walker.”

Michelle M.

“Jolene and Thomas welcomed Lambchop into their beautiful home with open arms! Their cute, little dog and him got along great. They have a great neighborhood for dog walks and big yard to explore with supervision. I only needed a couple of hours of dog sitting during a doctor visit but I'm glad I found them and will see them again.”

Suzanne B.

“Leanne was great! We felt completely comfortable leaving out golden with her! He left tired and happy and Leanne sent a couple updates which put me us at ease. We plan to save her info for whenever we are in the area! My husband and I agreed that even if we stayed within 30-40min from her, she would be worth the drive for having good care for our pup!!”

Brittany G.

“Julia was great with our otherwise sometimes nervous great pyr, allowing us to spend the day on the river and know he was happy and in good hands. Thanks Julia!!”

Zachary F.

About: Currently, only taking overnight guests (boarding in my home) on a case-by-case basis. Please ask. I have a rescue puppy who so far, gets along great with every dog she meets. I have been around pets all my life. I've looked after my own and friends' and family's animals specifically cats and dogs. 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.

About: I have had and trained dogs since I was a child. Neighbors, friends and families have relied on me to care for their pets when they were unable to. I have experience with large and small breads as well as cats. My past cat had cerebellar hypoplasia so I also have experience with disabled pets. I am currently working Mon.-Thurs so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! I don't currently have any pets of my own but they bring me so much joy! I will take exceptional care of your pets and treat them like they are my own. I am currently working Mon.-Thurs so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! I am off around 4pm but my schedule is pretty flexible if your doggo needs to go out at lunch. I am usually around Salida on the weekends. I have an unfenced yard but can take your dog out on a leash and I love going on walks around town! I will take extra care of your pets as well as your home while you're away.

“Jamie is the best! We come up to Tahoe regularly and every time she is up for walking our pup without question. Even made arrangements for a walk within 2 hours, saving the day for us while we were on the slopes. She lets the pup run free which tires her out and we all know that a tired pup is a good pup :)”

“Brutus LOVED his time with Julia! Sh was so great with him. We cannot wait to see her again!”
