“Ashley was fantastic with our two Aussies! From the start, she showed a great understanding of dog behavior and introduced them to her pack with ease. They fit right in, got tons of exercise, and had so much fun. She sent daily photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind—especially about the one we worried might not adjust. We even got a laugh seeing our most energetic Aussie happily playing with a smaller dog! We came home to two tired, happy pups and couldn’t be more grateful for her care.”

“Kenzie is absolutely great with our dog! She takes very good care of him while we are away. Would definitely recommend ger to anyone looking for a sitter to watch their dog!”

“I was thoroughly impressed with Sandra! She was very kind and responsive and took great care of my Oakley. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. Would definitely use again.”

“Jack and Kenya were wonderful with our senior dogs. Their communication was great throughout our dogs stay, with pictures and updates. Our dogs came home happy and tired. We would highly recommend Jack and Kenya for dog boarding.”

About: I'm an animal lover! We have two dogs (Border Collie mixes) and one cat. I know how important it is to feel like your fur friends are in good hands and I will make sure I do that for you. I have experience giving meds to both cats and dogs, if needed. We have two kids, 5 & 6 years old, who are very good and gentle with pets. They have a lot of experience with animals. All I ask is that your pet is also kid-friendly! They will be closely monitore together. You may have noticed in my photos that we also have chickens! They do have a large, separate yard, so they will be in their own area when we have visiting pets. They are well secured, so if you worry your dog might get excited and chase them, their fence will keep them safe. During the school year, I drop my kids off in the morning, might have short errands to run, home most of the day, then pick the kids up in the afternoon. Our dogs eat in the morning and the evening with many potty breaks in between. As for summer, we spend most of our time outside in the yard. My husband is a wildland firefighter, so I am home with the kids most of the time. As a photographer, my schedule is very flexible. I usually only do photo sessions during the evening and they're only a half hour to an hour long. When I have weddings, it's likely I won't be available because they are long days away from home and I wouldn't want to leave your pet alone for that long, my availability will be updated accordingly. Even with photo sessions and school, I am home a lot! I understand from experience how it can feel to leave your pets somewhere unknown. I will do my very best to keep to the schedule your pets are usually on. Feeding, potty breaks, medication, etc. I will make sure they feel at home, get love and attention, play time, walks, and anything else they would normally enjoy. Feel free to bring them a bed so they have somewhere to sleep. Our dogs sleep on our bed, but we will make sure your pet doesn't feel lonely at bedtime, too!

“Amazing amazing amazing!!! Kenzie was so caring towards Gizmo, during our last minute booking request. She cares for him in home for 10 days and was very considerate to ensure that her home was a good fit. Gizmo came home happy and healthy, and greatly missed! I would 100% recommend Kenzie and will keep in touch in the future for sure 💕”

About: I have taken care of pets for neighbors and friends all through my adulthood. Even when I was a child, I would help my neighbors with their Guinea pig and love birds when they went on vacation. I have 2 rescue animals - a sweet grey tabby named Belly and a wild puppy that we found on the side of the road named Hattie. I work from home in Cortez and have availability in the mornings and evenings. Time for drop ins and/or walks and potty breaks depending on the needs. I can help maintain established training methods and crate your dog as requested. I am fit and enjoy walking and running with dogs to get energy out. I will supervise all playtime.

“Ashley is awesome! She did a great job with my kitty Nancy. She is communicative, conscientious, and great about sending updates. Looking forward to having her take care of Nancy again! 😻”

“This is the second time I have asked Suede to look after my two cats. She has always been responsive, accommodating, pleasant and diligent. I look forward to using her services again.”

“Mark was absolutely awesome! I was wanting to visit Mesa Verde park and I sent a request to Mark last minute. He responded super quickly and was very helpful. Bella my dog had a great time playing with the other dogs there. Would definitely recommend.”


“Actually watched our Multis Koda on three separate occasions. We were on vacation from Florida I needed someone to watch Koda while we did some sightseeing. Ashley is definitely a dog lover. Koda instantly fell in love with her and we felt very comfortable leaving him with her. Koda had a great time playing with her dogs and we could see how attached she became to Ashley because of all the love he was showing her. I would highly recommend leaving your dogs with Ashley. She’s the best.”

“We were nervous to find someone to watch our dog to go hiking, as he has never been left anywhere before. However I was so relieved to find Kenzie! She was flexible with working with us, communicative, sent photo updates the whole time we were gone, and provided Archie with a comfortable and friendly place to stay! If we were ever in the area again and in need of someone to help with Archie, Kenzie would be the first person we would ask!”

“We feel so fortunate to have access to a trusted person like Suede to watch our dog when we are on vacation and there are activities where dogs are not allowed like the National Parks.”

“Kaitlynn and her family were the best people to leave our boy with for the day while we spent time in Mesa Verde. He was loved and cared for with plenty of space to sniff and play as well. Highly recommend!”
