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.

“Brenda is amazing. My dog Mr Darcy had a wonderful time and I was sent so many adorable pictures. Definitely where we will go first when we need boarding or doggie daycare!”

Emily C.

“Jess is the best dogsitter I’ve ever had! We are repeat customers and drive over an hour to meet her as she is just the best! We have three dogs and she knows how to oh handle them and their different personalities. It’s amazing. She also was super flexible w last minute trip issues and I can’t thank her enough for that. She’s the only sitter I feel 💯 comfortable leaving my dogs with. Thank you, Jess!!!”

Rachel G.

“Katy and her family were awesome! She took a last-minute request, squeezed in a Meet & Greet to make sure our dog and her pets got along, and she treated our dog like her own. Katy was great with communication and pictures of his stay - we could tell he was one happy pup!! We will definitely be using Katy again!!”

Jami K.

“Micaela was a great sitter for our dog! She took great pictures of him on walks, playing in the grass l, and hanging out with her pug. Communicative and super nice!”

Ellis B.

“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!”

Kelsey B.

“Tina is the sweetest lady. She just loved on our dogs and was great to communicate with. We appreciated her flexibility and the care she provided. Highly recommended.”

Amanda A.

“Sage always has a blast with Cassie and her family! I get lots of updates and peace of mind that he is well taken care of!”

About: I have grown up with all kinds of pups…border collies, black mouth currs, aussies, heelers…I currently have a pitbull and a golden retriever myself who I love very much. I also have a cat who is my absolute world. I was taught pet responsibility at a very young age, and also showed steers in 4h, which I feel are just very large dogs. I currently work full time, but I do work from home Mondays, Wednesday and Thursday at my home in Delta. Tuesday’s and Fridays, I am in Montrose. The weekends are pretty open for me, but if at all possible, please contact in advance just in case I am busy! I like to give lots of attention to your pets as well as my own. Lots of playtime for my golden (my pit is an old lady, so she just likes to be lazy).

“Brianna was wonderful with our cat, gave her lots of attention and made sure to keep us up to date. She was also kind enough to bring in some packages and water our Xmas tree!”

Ross J.

“Brenda is the best! We have an anxious special needs kitty that needs injections and doesn’t trust most people, but he sure likes Brenda (maybe more than us)! We feel lucky to have such reliable help.”

Elizabeth L.

“Jess was so wonderful, she took great care of my elderly cat while I was out of town. I came home to a happy cat and that’s all I could really ask for! I would definitely recommend her.”

Jo C.

About: I am a licensed professional counselor. I have one golden, Charlie. I’ve had many dogs over the years so my experience is varied. I take Charlie on daily runs and am fit and ready to give your dog some exercise!! I currently work in Montrose Monday-Friday during the day with weekends off. I am happy to talk more specific schedule questions individually if need be 🙂 I make sure they are comfy and cozy!! I have a child and a dog, so our home is always child/dog proofed! I take directions and care seriously, so I’ll only agree if I’m able to carry out the mission!

“Summer is really wonderful with our two kitties. We appreciate her consistency in care and the affection she shows our pets, which is so evident in the photos and videos she shares with us.”

Laura B.

About: I’m a 6’4” 200lbs+ man so I’m great with all sizes of dogs including huge. I’m a jogger so if your dogs like to run also we’ll be a great match. I love all animals and I’ve had many pets over the years. I’ve had everything from hamsters to fish tanks. Cats, dogs, bunnies, snakes and even goats. I’m experienced with old dogs and puppies and am happy to walk or take care of either. I currently am working part time at my own discretion so I have an open schedule basically. It changes week to week but it’s flexible and I would be available any point in the day on week days and on weekends. I live in a very quit rural neighborhood with amazing beach and woods walks. I don’t have any pets personally at the moment and I don’t a fenced yard. I was originally thinking I would just walk dogs and do drop in visits but if you’re in a bind I can dog sit here. My aunt visits me regularly and she always brings her dog here. They both absolutely love here too. It’s safe and beautiful here but ideally I would rather not board dogs here.

“Stacy was super easy to work with, quick to respond and communicated well throughout. The cat does not approve unauthorized visitors but she was fed and happy when I got home and the house was in great shape.”

Jenna P.

“Andi was conscientious, caring and reliable in caring for our cat in our home. We definitely will be repeat customers.”

Sherre P.

“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.”

Alyssa C.

“This was our first time using Rover, we were a little nervous but we are so happy with how it went. Aubrey is very sweet, fun and playful with our doggies! I have no doubt that they miss playing with her now that we’re back. She was also really great about communicating with me while she was with our dogs!”

Krystl B.

“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.”

Leslie K.

“Brenda was awesome in taking care of our pup Teddy! We came to her with a last minute request after being unable to find any daycares or sitters available on short notice during a holiday weekend. Brenda’s responses were very quick and she was very flexible in accommodating Teddy, and sent us pictures and updates for his stay. We will totally come to Brenda again if we need to board Teddy while we are in the Glenwood Springs area!”

Karen T.

“Bryanna takes such good care of Dexter and Dexter has a ton of fun when he visits! Bryanna has a beautiful family, and she is so welcoming with her home!”

Scott G.

“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 !!”

Kelsey S.

“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!”

Rebecca T.

“Sweet person who really enjoyed dog daycare with our Corgi.”
