About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, I have cared for our dogs as they have become seniors. I have cared for dogs with high anxiety and attachment. I personally have one pet that is ready to be your dogs best friend. Each dog is a gift and I love all of them. I work full time but I’m available from Friday evening till Sunday night. I am also available after 6pm on week days depending on your needs. My first priority is always safety, I keep my home picked up and pet proofed at all times. I really enjoy learning each dog and being able to walk and play with them how they feel comfortable.

“Michael and Emily were amazing with our dog for a 4 night long stay - walks, bike rides, cuddles and playtime. They sent us pictures of our dog too and she clearly was having a great time. Their dogs were friendly and welcoming to ours. Our dog needs medicine applied to her nose daily and they had no issue doing that. Their yard was secure and spacious. Being in Gunnison provides a great spot for those traveling onto Crested Butte. Thank you Michael and Emily!”

“Carol, and her pup Banjo, were great hosts to my little pup! Carol really goes above and beyond to make sure it’s a safe, comfortable, fun stay! I felt good leaving my pup with her for a couple days and he seemed to really settle right in and enjoy himself. Thank you!”

Terry A.

“Allie is the best! I left my cat in her care over the holidays and would do this again anytime! Allie loves animals and it shows! I really love the feedback during my cat's stay and the attention to detail about how to make it the best pet vacation/relaxation time for my cat! Thanks again!”

About: I have grown up with dogs of my own and lived with many animals of all sizes. I love dogs but I travel a lot and cannot have my own, unfortunately. I try to get my fix taking care of other dogs when I can! I'm a big trail runner, I take my parents dog whenever I can. He is a big river/water dog so I love taking dogs on trails with water access. I always carry plenty of water and snacks for myself and the pup. I love dogs that are high energy and need to get lots of exercise, I'll tucker them out. I can take dogs on long hikes, runs, or even quick walks. I work evenings bar tending and am available most days before 4pm. I prefer to have one dog at a time so they get proper care and I can keep track of them, especially if they are good unleashed on trails. I am flexible and love to house sit as well so I can stay where the dog is comfortable. I like to have fun with the pups! This is for my own enjoyment and your convenience!

About: I am a proud pet parent who puts continued time and energy towards understanding, training, entertaining, and exercising my mutt … we love to bring companions along for the ride! A well-cared for boi is a happy, healthy boi. I work full-time M-F at an office near my home. I walk/run/bike/fetch with my pooch twice daily during the week, for a total of 2-3 hours of movement - usually more on the weekend! My schedule can be flexible to accommodate occasional lunch-time walks. In the summer, and at various other points throughout the year, I have the flexibility to work remotely with breaks at will. I do not have a yard but live within walking distance to a popular town trail. Most dogs enjoy people watching from our balcony in nice weather. I am also all for doggie field trips and welcome pooches in my vehicle to hike at Hartman’s, University trails, and the dog park as appropriate.

“First time using this service. Kaitlyn was very patient and wonderful to explain the app to me. She was prompt and friendly. She’s a natural animal lover and it shows! Will definitely use again.”

“Allie is a great sitter, she took such great care of our cat Ana when we were traveling and I gave me such peace of mind to know she was checking in. She is very responsive and always sent me photos and updates of her visits which I really appreciated! Can’t recommend her enough!”

Allison D.

“Carol was a great sitter given the fact that one of our cats acted out and was relatively hostile toward her. We were lucky to have her.”

Colleen H.

About: I have been overnight pet sitting and doing daily check ins for many years and love caring for cats. It is so rewarding when a cat decides it's ready to bond with me and hops right onto my lap.

About: I've been fear free certified when I worked at an animal shelter. I was a vet tech and I am an animal masseuse . . I have a free schedule currently and am available to come whenever you need me to. . . . . . . . . . I believe in treating animals how I'd like to be treated. I love them and treat them as dearly loved friends. I am very respectful of your wishes.

About: I have spent my whole live having dogs and cats in my home and caring for other peoples animals as well. I’ve always had a dog and cats in my household and it just adds so much joy to my life. It’s something I’m very passionate about and have never met an animal that I don’t get along with!! I’m currently working part time in Aspen and really miss my own pets that are back home in Florida. I’ve always enjoyed taking care of pets as a part of my daily routine and would love to help others with doing the same. I have at least 3-4 free days a week to help anyone out! When it comes to the clients home I have plenty of experience being as hands on or hands off as the client prefers when it comes to their pets. When it comes to having pets at my own place I live in an extremely walkable area and have a very nice trail 5 minutes away for walks and exploring. My apartment is a very good size to have a pet over to hang out as well.

“So thankful we got to meet Ellle! She is a delight and her home is clean and safe for the dogs. They loved her backyard as well. We will definitely book again when we are in Denver!! Thanks ;)”

“Hope did well with our miniature dachshund! He had an episode of GI distress when she was caring for him and she handled him well. When we picked him up, he was calm and relaxed and was comfortable with Hope.”

About: I’ve had dogs and/ or cats my whole life. I love caring for puppies/kittens all the way to seniors. I can give them the care they require. I love our furry pets! I am Gunnison homeowner for over 40 years and now retired. I have the time, energy, and desire to accompany your pet anytime. I am able to care for your pet in the way they are accustomed at your home. If staying with me, I have a fenced yard and a large home and a small Aussie named “Banjo” for them to play with. We can go for walks, to the doggie park, or just stay home.

“Allie was fantastic with our dog and to work with! She was flexible and easy to communicate with, but most importantly, it was clear our dog was very well cared for! We very much so appreciate her being so thoughtful with her approach. She demonstrates a lot of love and care for animals, and I would recommend her to anyone needing pet care.”

Allison W.

“I wish I could leave ten stars for Marsha!!! Our dog Yuki had the GREATEST day and Marsha was so kind, accommodating and communicative! 100% will be back to Crested Butte with our dog now that I know we have such a wonderful caregiver available in town. Couldn't recommend her more highly!”

Megan J.

“Emma was awesome! She took great care of our 20 week old puppy and sent us many fun pictures throughout the day. I’m pretty sure our pup made a new best friend. Emma was communicative and very accommodating. We were in town for vacation but will definitely be using her again next time we’re here.”

About: I have 10 years experience including CPR and first aid. I love to house sit because I know how stressful it is to leave a pet home alone or in a kennel. I work remotely allowing me to take my work anywhere and I specialize in dogs with anxious attachment disorders and high need dogs Pet sitting is my full time job. I only accept one housesitting request at a time which allows me to be present for dogs who get nervous with no one around. I always stay at my pet owners homes and am very willing to work my schedule around the pets I care for. I take requests and have dogsat special needs and pups. I do not do more than 1 complimentary meet and greet. Thank you for your understanding

About: I am very experienced with both dogs and cats as I grew up with two cats and a dog (a very big dog). I feel very comfortable with all animals and understand the importance of giving your pet a tons of love and care! I have a super flexible schedule so I can make sure your pet gets whatever it needs. I recently started watching other people’s dogs and I a think both me and the pup have been enjoying it! I am currently working part time, I typically work Monday-Wednesday from 8:30-4:30 in Crested Butte. Other than that I am completely available to give your pet any attention and care it needs. I love hanging out with animals so I will be completely available to give your pet any and all of my attention! I currently am in between housing so I personally can’t house any animals but I have a car so I can take you pup on some great hiking adventures! I tend to be very cautious and make sure I understand a pet’s temperament and what they need to feel safe and comfy!

About: I grew up with two weimaraners and my family fostered dogs for years (from puppies to senior pups). Now we’ve got a golden doodle named Sunny who just turned 9. Dogs are amazing to work with and if I can make money while doing something fun I think that’s a pretty great deal. I’m actively on a job hunt (I have student teaching in the Fall so just trying to find something for the summer) - that being said if I agree to help out with an animal I will prioritize my agreements! I’ve done babysitting, house sitting and dog sitting for friends and family. My parents raised me keeping a clean house so that’s my default.

“Allie is fantastic!”

About: I’ve been watching animals for about 10 years. I have experience in almost everything from walking dogs, animal sitting in my home and others, play dates, grooming and anything else you can think of! I’m a lover of all animals of all shapes and sizes and enjoy spending time with new pet friends ! I am currently working full time at a local doctors office but have an hour lunch break as well as time in the morning before and after work to check on and care for any animals! I am off on weekends which is when I spend most of my time with pets that I am watching. I have a fenced yard with high enough fencing to avoid any lost animals. While in a clients home, I always keep an eye on the pet when they are outside or wondering.

“Carol and Banjo took such good care of Pistachio. The dog friendly yard was exactly what Pistachio needed. Thank you again!”

John R.

About: I have been dog walking and pet sitting overnight for many years. I have a golden retriever and we love making new pet friends with all of our clients. Snuggles always included! We can go on several on-leash walks daily and work on leash walking skills. I work part time so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets. I am available daily walks and check-ins, as well as for overnight pet sitting any night of the week! You just tell me how you like your pets to be cared for and I’ll do exactly that! Hopefully they like golden retrievers so I can bring my dog along for more play time!

“Sakoya was awesome and super communicative! We did a video call to show her the apartment the day before and she was attentive and played with him when it was too cold to stay out for 30 minutes. 10/10 would have her walk for us again!”

Megan M.

“Kasey was very comfortable with bambam from the start and took him for a good walk.”
