About: I love my own cats, dogs and reptiles of all ages in my household! I will absolutely love your animals as our own 💕💕 I have been in Montrose for 8 years. I always go home during lunch to let our dogs out. My lunch varies. Either I go home 11-12, 12-1 or 1-2. I usually have holidays off. My dogs are kennel trained. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to run around. My cats and dogs are friendly and vaccinated. My cats are fixed, our male dogs are not. One of my cats is blind.

“Our dog was happy here! She got plenty of love from Abby’s family and we even had her there more than the time requested and they were super nice about it! We really appreciate Abby and Eli and their family for carinh”

“We are so lucky to have found Stephanie to watch our dogs this past weekend! We rarely leave our girls with new people, however we instantly felt like we could trust Stephanie and were not disappointed. We loved the steady stream of updates and photos/videos and having AirTags on the girls made it fun to watch their adventures throughout their stay. The girls loved having a big yard as well as fit right in with Stephanie’s 2 dogs, and they were in high spirits when we picked them up. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you so much!”

“Jess takes such good care of LeeLoo, and has always been very graciously flexible with pick up and drop off times for us, to accommodate for unexpected events. We are so lucky to have her help with Loo!”

“Sierra is amazing! Our dog had the best time and learned to run with the pack thanks to her training dogs! She was always quick to respond and sent some great pictures. We will definitely return when we are back in Telluride.”


“Dean is a great guy and took excellent care of Rocket. He always sent updates with photos and videos and it always looked like Rocket was having a great time (out for walks, playing with Dean and his other dogs and having that happy look on his face). We would recommend Dean to anyone looking for their dog to be taken care of in Telluride.”

“I couldn’t be happier with Anna’s care. Leading up to the date she was very helpful and responsive. Shortly after leaving my pup with her, she sent me photos and videos which made me at ease knowing that my dog was happy and acclimating well. All throughout she took extra steps to make me feel comfortable while I was away from my pup. I can assure you that your dog will be well taken care of with Anna!”

“Alaina was great! She was able to help us out while we were visiting Telluride with a last minute booking. She took our dog with her everywhere. Kya had a chill day and made some friends and had a lovely walk around Mountain Village. Thanks Alaina!!”

About: I'm a lifelong dog owner who has cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments from puppyhood to senior golden years. Looking forward to providing what your dog needs, whether that's cozy-calm companionship, playtime, and/or exploring on walks and hikes. Growing up I raised livestock, and I’m comfortable with a wide range of pet care needs, including administering medications, managing feeding routines, and paying close attention to behavior, safety, and comfort.

Whether I’m caring for a dog in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, consistency, and comfort by following each dog’s usual routine and paying close attention to their behavior, energy level, and individual quirks.
“Ava was great with Dixie and did an awesome job of staying in communication with me as she was watching her! She stepped up when I needed daycare last second which was super clutch. Would definitely book again :)”

“Terry was an outstanding caregiver to our sweet kitty. Communication was excellent - very quick to reply and friendly.

“Hayley was wonderful watching Luna for 3 days! She was very reliable and sent helpful updates on her eating, playing, and outside time. The photo updates were great, and it made me laugh that Luna’s 'tortitude' didn’t fade until Hayley broke out the Churus! So grateful I found Hayley and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”

“Stephanie goes above and beyond with you furry babies. She sent me photos and videos throughout the day of my GSP. She asked what his exercise routine was and made sure to make him tired for me. She took my GSP hiking and placed an air tag on him so I can track whenever! My GSP was exhausted getting back from daycare and that is not easy to do! Would definitely take him back to Stephanie! Thank you for taking such amazing care of my sweet boy !!”

“Haley took care of my 1yr old German Shorthaired Pointer so we could enjoy some time at the hot springs in Ouray. Anyone who knows the temperament of this breed knows it takes patience and energy to care for them. She was great I felt very comfortable leaving her with Haley and her family they gave our dog great care and a fun stay. Highly recommend!”

“Jess's place is off the beaten path and a little hard to find, but it is surrounded by wide-open spaces, which Fred likes. Jess was enthusiastic about Corgies and her Corgi and Fred had a good time.”

“Lee was fantastic with our dogs. He greeted us in his driveway when we arrived, and made us instantly feel comfortable. I could tell he truly loves dogs and has a special connection with them. He kept us updated with texts and pictures with how much fun they were having. He took them on a walk and let them play in the river, which they love. They seemed so content and happy when I picked them up. I would highly recommend Lee, and would definitely leave my dogs with him again!”
“Anna was great. Our dog loved playing with her dog and Anna made sure our dog was entertained and well cared for. When we had to make a last minute change to our dog sitting schedule, Anna was very accommodating. We would use Anna again.”
