About: Looking for a stress-free alternative to a traditional kennel? With a background in veterinary medicine, I offer personalized boarding on our quiet, rural property in Delta County. I accept only 1-2 dogs (from one family) at a time, ensuring plenty of individual attention, supervised outdoor time in our large, shaded, grassy kennel, and a calm, home-like environment. Daily photo updates are included, and I am experienced with administering medications, caring for senior dogs, and other special care needs. I offer a complimentary meet-and-greet before your dog's first stay. For everyone's safety and comfort, guest dogs must be non-reactive and friendly with children and other dogs. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m on-site the majority of the day and provide attentive, reliable care for your dog. I offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times and am happy to create a personalized care plan to meet your pet’s individual needs and routine. I provide a large, fenced run with access to water and shade as well as a comfortable and secure indoor space. My own dog prefers to spend a majority of nice weather days outdoors but will come inside when the weather is inclement, when its too hot, and, of course, overnight. Leashed walks throughout our 90 acre farm are available as well.
“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!!”
“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!”
“Just wonderful, Charlie was able to socialize and have a lot of activity and space to be in! Very convenient schedule and took great care of our fur-baby! She will definitely be our permanent sitter.”
“I've left Cinna with Brenda multiple times now and she always communicates and sends photos. I feel safe with my lil guy in her hands and appreciate her flexibility in my day before bookings. Anytime I'm in Rifle/Glenwood and in need, she's my go-to!”

Kate allowed us to to feel so at peace knowing he was in good hands both last year and this year for the Telluride bluegrass festival, Kubo had the time of his life and didn’t want to leave! She sent us photo updates and check-ins and definitely going to hit up Kate again next year! Thank you Kate!! ~Katie (Rowan’s girlfriend :)”
“From the moment we met Tina, we knew our dogs were in great hands! It is very apparent how much she loves dogs and she made Ben and Charlie feel tight at home! They both look forward to getting to stay there again! Thank you Tina!”
“This is the second time Poppy has stayed with Summer and her family. I can be completely at ease and enjoy my trip with no concern or worry that my dog is lonely or neglected in anyway. She is part of the the family while with Summer. Happy, entertained, loved and well exercised. I would highly recommend and will always use her if available!”
“Hayley took wonderful care of our dog, Otis, for two weeks while we were overseas. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We really appreciated the regular photo updates throughout his stay, they helped us feel connected and reassured that he was happy and well cared for. Hayley and her family truly welcomed Otis into their home and treated him like one of their own. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Hayley to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

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.”
“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.”

“Angela was everything you could ever want from a pet sitter and will be my first choice going forward. Leaving your pets with someone you do not know can be nerve racking but Angela made the whole process extremely easy. She was great at communicating, provided daily updates with pictures, and was a pleasure to deal with from our initial visit to the end of the pet sitting. She looked after both my cats for over a week and I would not hesitate to book her for even longer periods. Highly recommended!”

“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!”

I also bring a background in hospitality, which means I’m detail-oriented, reliable, and used to making sure every guest — two-legged or four-legged — feels genuinely taken care of. Whether it’s sticking to a specific routine, giving extra attention to a nervous pet, or just making sure they get plenty of love while their owners are away, I treat every animal with the same patience and affection I’d want for my own. I’m currently in between jobs and I couldn’t think of a best way of spending this time than doing what I love and share my time with new furry friends! I take care of the pets at their own home.
