Personalized care for your dog or cat - Cotopaxi

“Renata took great care of Scout and Radley! They clearly enjoyed their stay, and it was obvious they were in the hands of a true dog person. She did an excellent job with their food mix and Scout's medications. We appreciated the great care and would happily book with her again.”

Kathy H.

“We used Rover for the first time and had an absolutely wonderful experience with Jolene and Thomas. We felt very comfortable meeting Jolene. She provided excellent updates and pictures throughout the weekend. We can tell that our dog also was very comfortable in their home and returned to us well taken care of. Jolene and Thomas provided excellent care and we recommend them without any reservations”

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: 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.

“So great to work with, great communicator, nice location, and got Timber out for lots of adventures. Will use Julia again for dog sitting if possible!”

Christy W.

“Raffelina is an excellent" puppy sitter". She took care of our 15 year old and our 1 year old. She took great care of our older dog who can't hear or see and I believe she was very caring and loving toward her. The same with our little puppy who demands a lot of attention too. Communication with us was exceptional. We received both texts and pictures. I highly recommend Raffelina to care for any pets.”

“I can’t thank Melissa enough for watchin’ Maddie for me at the last minute!!! She was incredible and I know Maddie had a blast. I look forward to using her again in the future.”

Michelle D.

“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 have 20+ years of experience taking care of senior dogs, puppies, and rambunctious teens. I lost my senior girl in August 2026 and have wanted to spend time with the energy and love of dogs since then. She was on a few medicines, but we made her sunset years beautiful and fun. I would love to spend time with your pets, making sure they are happy, safe, and comfortable while you are gone! I’m currently looking for remote work and have all the time in the world for your pets! I am interested in spending time outside with pets, making sure they are having fun while you are gone! My home is open to dogs, but unfortunately an allergy prohibits cats. I have a ranch style house which is nice and easy for seniors to get in and out of. The backyard is fenced so they can roam, or we can put on a leash and explore the land around us. I have dog beds and toys for them to tear up or carrying around - whatever’s clever!

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.

“Very prompt and trustworthy. Sent me pictures and very nice report cards. Understands my cats personality! Would definately schedule him again!”

Linda D.

“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.”

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 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.

“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.”

Christa N.

“Leanne was so amazing! She helped us with pickup when we were having car problems, and gave our guy the most fun and adventurous day. Can’t recommend enough!”

Jarad & Laura H.

“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.”

“From the moment we started interacting, both Leonardo and I were extremely comfortable. Jolene was wonderful with Leonardo and he absolutely loved his stay. Their attention to detail, warm demeanor, and their love for animals makes for a wonderful stay for my dog and peace of mind for me. They’re wonderful! Book them!”

Kari G.

“Julia was so helpful coming through pretty last minute for a day watch while our family went to the Hotsprings! It was so clutch and Edna was instantly friends with her! So happy to have a trusted dog sitter in our home away from home!”

Megan K.

“Thank you so much Matalyn! She was so great with our husky! She’s flexible and allowed us to drop off our dog earlier since we arrived early in the city for the royal gorge train ride.”

“Jamie was the perfect dog sitter for my 6 month old pup! So sweet, best sitter in Mammoth, and will be using again! My boyfriend and I wanted our pup to enjoy the outdoors while he and I went golfing, and Jamie was better than perfect. She picked my pup up and went on TWO hikes with him! She was sweet and sent fun photos and he was perfectly tuckered out when we got home. Thanks Jamie!”

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