“Denae is such a wonderful person, and pet sitter. She is easy to communicate with and sent us frequent updates, pictures while we were away. Emma had the best time staying with her. We will definitely be using her sitting services again!”
“Melinda and Tom are simply amazing humans! They took such good care of my furry son and I sometimes forget we all just met, they feel like family! The peace of mind I have when I traveled this week knowing my sweet Owen was safe and sound with them was a relief. I just don’t feel that “nervousness” that comes w leaving Owen while I travel for work. Owen adores them too!! Thanks for the pixs, he looked so happy! So glad I found you….”

“Nicole was such a wonderful dog sitter to my baby dachshund. She kept me updated constantly and asked all the right questions. I felt extremely at ease knowing Nicole was doing everything in her power to make sure my dog was well fed, exercised and entertained. Definitely would recommend Nicole for any of your pet sitting needs :)”

“I felt very comfortable leaving Zoe with Renee and her family. I appreciated Renee’s quick responses and willingness to adapt to Zoe’s quirks. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Caitlin was amazing. Took us as a last min client/booking. Worked with us to do a meet and greet quickly and took the best care of my dog. She provided updates and it was amazing not having to worry while I was away.”
“Amazing sitters, you won’t regret booking with them!! Took amazing care of my baby and gave me lots of updates throughout her stay! It’s calming to know your pet is in good hands :)”
“Kelly, her husband, and their dog Milo took great care of our dog Jake while we were gone for eight days. They did everything possible to make Jake feel comfortable (he is a nervous dog) and they treated him like family. I’m so thankful for their kindness and care.”
“Jen was amazing. My dog had the best time with her, playing in the yard and in the sprinklers. He came back exhausted. Jen was supper communicative and willing to accommodate a later flight. I will definitely reach out to her next time I need a sitter.”
“Danielle was amazing! Teos loved being spoiled by Danielle and her family. They sent lots of photos and gave me updates throughout the stay. I will definitely use Danielle again in the future.”
“Everything went smoothly, and our dogs seemed really happy coming home from Julie's. Communication was great and we got a lot of photos of our dogs enjoying her home. Will use again. Thanks!”
“Kristen was great! Clearly very good and comfortable with dogs and made my pup feel at home almost instantly. Followed directions well and asked questions to make sure she understood what to do and sent lots of cute pictures and updates! Very communicative and accommodating as well. Will definitely be using again in the future :)”
“Thank you for watching Sky & Moose! Chelcee and Alexander were very communicative and we felt at ease leaving them in their care. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the area looking for dog sitters and will definitely be returning to them in the future!”
“Stephen and his family were great! I can tell my dog had a great time and enjoyed himself. Stephen was cautious of the hot weather and knew my dogs limits.

About: I'm the proud owner of Layla, my 6-year-old Great Pyrenees, so I know big breeds well. I've cared for dogs from family and friends — from playful puppies to gentle seniors — and I understand that every dog is different, with their own needs and personality. I love giving each pup safe, attentive, and affectionate care. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I'm able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care throughout the day. Pet care isn't something I have to squeeze in around other commitments — it's a priority I can build my day around, whether that's regular walks, sticking to feeding and potty schedules, or just spending quality time with a dog so they're never left alone too long. My availability means I can be reliable and consistent for both walks and in-home sitting. When caring for your dog in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow the feeding, walking, and potty schedule you set, and make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. Every dog is different, so I keep a close eye on their behavior and needs and always put their comfort and safety first. On walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, stick to familiar routes, and adjust the pace and distance to fit their age, energy level, and breed. I'll also send updates and photos so you can relax while you're away.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life! I've volunteered with and fostered for local dog rescues, in addition to raising dogs of my own, giving me experience with puppies, seniors, and dogs with a variety of personalities and needs. My fiancé works remotely from home full-time, and I work a hybrid schedule as a physician assistant, so there's almost always someone home for companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. We currently share our home with our friendly 2-year-old Golden Retriever and our sweet 12-year-old Bernedoodle, who love making new friends. With a fully fenced backyard and a neighborhood full of scenic trails, your pup will enjoy lots of exercise, sniffari adventures, and, of course, plenty of love. We can't wait to welcome your dog into our home! I am currently working as a Physician Assistant at a telehealth company and work a hybrid schedule. My fiance works in consulting and has a fully remote job. Therefore, we will both be home most days during the workday. We typically wake up and take our pups on a long walk each morning during the week and weekends. We have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups at home including a 12 year old Bernedoodle and 2 year old golden retriever. The Golden absolutely loves having friends over. We have a crate if needed for your pup.
“Tenja was great! She checked in regularly, so we were confident that our kitties were being well taken care of. She stayed over and took great care of the house as well. We came home to a spotless kitchen and all the dishes were washed. What a treat! We hope Tenja will be available next time we need to go out of town without our kitties.”
“Melina was attentive, experienced and accommodating. She even cleaned up after our cat after she vomited a mouse up onto the carpeted stairs. That is going above and beyond... we are forever grateful!”
“Morgan did a great job taking care of my cats. Daily pictures showed they were happy and liked to spend time with her. She is reliable and very communicative. I would use her again.”
About: I've lived with and cared for cats since I was a little girl, and have a sweet boy of my own at home. I know cats do best on their own turf and their own terms, so I care for them in your home: feeding and fresh water, litter scooped every visit, playtime for the ones who want it, and space for the ones who don't. I send photos and a short note after each visit so you know exactly how they're doing.
“Summerlyn is the real deal. She is professional, attentive, and truly an animal lover. She communicates and works with you for anything that may come up, going above and beyond. My cat Newton and I truly appreciate her!! That said, I definitely plan on booking her again in the future!!”
“Ken did daily visits for our 12-year-old cat Fred and everything was wonderful! We received daily photos and reports, and we came home to a happy, healthy kitty cat. Thank you, Ken! We will be in touch soon for another booking.”
“Hannah took great care of our cat while we were away for the weekend. She made sure he was fed, brushed and played with. We came back to a happy, well cared for kitty!”
“Carol… what can I say? She’s an incredible human. This sounds dramatic, but believe me when I say she came through for our very senior and high-maintenance boy when we needed her the most. We had lots of special instructions and the whole time assured us it was no problem and she would be able to handle it. 10/10 on communication, as well. She let us know right away that our A/C wasn’t working, and kept us up to date daily while we were out of town. We will call on her for all of our doggies needs from here on out. Thanks Carol!! ❤️”
About: I've grown up around various breeds of dogs, cats, and a few different animals in between! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give each pet. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I have experience with senior dogs and medication giving as well. Communication is key, therefore you'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages after each visit or walk if preferred. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone keep them company, I'm happy to tailor my care to their individual needs and happy to meet you and your fur baby in advance. I'm reliable, patient, and detail-oriented, and I'll treat your pets like they're my own. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with confidence, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. During the week most of my availability is afternoons/evenings and occasional mornings. My work schedule is sporadic! On most weekends when I'm not working, my day is pretty much open! Reach out with days and times and we can see if we can find a way! Unfortunately, we had to make one of the toughest decisions of letting our Sargey boy go this past June. In my heart, I am not ready to start over quite yet but would love to be an honorary dog friend! I truly enjoy getting out for some sunlight and fresh air and would love for your pup to join me or if your pet prefers a round of fetch that is perfectly ok as well!
“Charlotte was a most excellent caregiver from start to finish for my elderly cat. She came by for a meet & greet with us before I went out of town which put me and my cat Dude at ease. During her check-ins she provided awesome updates and photos which I greatly appreciated & enjoyed. We will definitely reach out to her again. Highly recommend this sitter for your pets needs.”
About: I provide calm, reliable drop-in visits so your cat can stay comfy in their own space. Feeding, fresh water, litter, playtime and lots of attention. Flexible scheduling, often same day, and I'll send plenty of updates so you feel connected and worry-free. Respectful of your home and your cat's routines.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Idledale
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Christoph & Nicole were awesome daycare hosts and took amazing care of my puppy! Their dog Charlie is so sweet and got along well with my pup! Mine is very high energy and I know he had a great day with their pack because he was so calm and contented when I picked him up and just wanted to nap :)”
About: I have more than 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds, from energetic puppies to seniors who need a gentler pace and a little extra patience. I also have extensive animal care experience from past roles working at AZA zoos. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine and comfort level, and I take the time to earn their trust and provide the kind of care that works best for them. I’m patient, kind and compassionate, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’m also very active and happy to provide plenty of walks, exercise and playtime for dogs who need it. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, affectionate or independent, I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep you updated and care for them as if they were my own. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide dogs with plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day, along with regular bathroom breaks, walks, playtime and exercise. Because I’m home, dogs in my care won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I can easily adapt my schedule to their normal feeding, medication and activity routines. I genuinely enjoy having a dog by my side while I work and making sure they feel comfortable, engaged and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, bathroom breaks and any household rules. I provide plenty of attention, exercise and playtime while also respecting when a pet needs quiet time or space. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet and the property, and I make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I also provide regular photos and updates so owners can relax knowing their pet is happy and receiving patient, compassionate care.
“Heather was amazing! She made sure my sweet puppy was well cared for and looked after. It definitely put me at ease. My doggy loves playing with the other older pups and running around in the yard. Thank you Heather for taking care of my baby!”
“Kyle has been great watching my pup! My dog has certain quirks so I get very nervous about people watching him but he’s been very accommodating and amazing at responding and re-assuring me everything is going well!”
“Makayla saved the day! Our planned sitter for the day ghosted us and Makayla was available last minute and communicated well during Margot’s visit. We’re so thankful!”
“Lars & Enzo took care of our doggie & made her feel welcome & cared for. We went to Red Rocks amphitheater & got to enjoy the show knowing our dog is in good hands. We got updates & photos of them in a fun walk. Also, Enzo is a such a sweet dog! Highly recommend! Thanks Lars & Enzo!”
About: Hi! We are Kati and Mitch, a work from home couple living with our pack in the mountains. We’ve owned and raised dogs of all shapes and attitudes and sizes, so our experience covers most ground! Our 14 year old dog is a pit who was very reactive in his prime, teaching us a lot about how to handle reactive dogs safely, but now as a sleepy senior, he’s taught us more about senior dog care. We raised our second dog from a puppy, so she taught us so much about the adorable havoc that puppies can bring! Our newest is a rescue, who was a street dog in Texas. She was very skittish and is still people-shy, so we’ve learned a lot about how to approach wary dogs, and how to break those naughty habits she learned on the streets! We love our pack so much, and we’d love to use our knowledge to love yours too! We both work from home 100% of the time, so we are home all day if you need a daycare or want to board, your pup will rarely be left alone if ever! Our schedules are flexible enough that we can easily fit in multiple drop in visits or daily walks too. We have a fully fenced in yard, a little over half an acre. Our two younger dogs would love to play with a new friend, but will also give space if yours isn’t into the rough and tumble! Our dogs are all allowed on the furniture, one sleeps in bed with us. They are the center of our attention all day, yours will be no different! :)
About: I’ve been raising, fostering and rescuing dogs for the past 13 years. I’ve been through all the dog life stages and dealt with all varieties of dog behavioral and medical issues. Everyone I know says that in their next life they want to come back as one of my dogs-spoiled to no end! I work for myself and mostly from home so I am very flexible with my schedule and my ability to spend a lot of quality time with you dog. Also, I have about 10 fenced in acres up in the mountains that is a great place to bring you pup for some off leash playtime if that’s something you’re interested in I have a lot of space in my home and also over 10 fenced in acres to explore (with supervision, of course). Outdoor play/ walk time at my house can be on or off lease depending on what you are most comfortable with
“Katrina was a fantastic sitter for Snow! Snow has anxiety and can’t be left alone so Katrina watched Snow while we were at an event. Snow was happy, safe, and content and had another pup around too. Definitely recommend her!”
“Rebecca took wonderful care of our Giant Schnauzer while we were in town visiting. She was flexible, awesome communication and allowed a late night pickup so we could go to Meow Wolf. When we came back to get her, we could see through the window that everyone was chilling on the couch watching a movie. She has a great backyard too!”
About: I form bonds quickly with dogs and love to have them on walks, hikes, and at our house in the mountains. My family and friends call me first when they’re going out of town and need a sitter. My schedule is currently super flexible so I'm available on weekdays and some weekends. Time of day is also flexible. Our dogs are limited to short walks now that they're older, I'm looking forward to longer dog walks :) I have a big fenced yard and two friendly senior pups who are used to other dogs in their house and yard. I put my dogs needs first, they’re not restricted anywhere besides beds in the house.
About: 30 Years of Rescue Experience & Multi-Dog Mastery What sets us apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience that you won’t find with a casual sitter. For the past three decades, our home has been a sanctuary for at least four rescue dogs at any given time. We aren't just dog lovers; we are seasoned caregivers who understand the complexities of canine behavior, pack dynamics, and the unique needs of rescue animals. 🛡️ Senior & Special Needs Care Having raised many rescues from their first day home through their senior years, we are highly experienced in senior care. We understand the patience required for dogs with mobility issues, hearing or vision loss, and the strict schedules needed for medication administration. Your "old soul" will find a quiet, respectful, and accommodating environment here. My Routine: Full-Time Care & Companionship Being retired means your dog is my primary focus, not a side project. Because I am home all day, I provide the constant companionship and supervision that rescue dogs and seniors often need to feel secure. Continuous Supervision: I don't have an "office" to go to. Whether it’s potty breaks, play sessions, or just a quiet nap by my feet, your dog will have a human present throughout the day. Structured Days: Having managed a four-dog household for 30 years, I thrive on routine. We follow a consistent schedule for feedings, walks, and medication to ensure every guest feels stable and settled. Active Presence: My schedule is flexible, allowing me to adapt to your dog’s specific energy levels—whether that means frequent backyard exploration or extra snuggle time on the sofa. A Secure, 3.25–Acre Haven My home is designed for dogs to be dogs, safely. I reside on 3.25 acres of land, providing your pet with plenty of room to explore, sniff, and run. For your peace of mind, my property is fully fenced, ensuring that even the most curious explorers stay safe and secure within my boundaries. Safety & Supervision With 30 years of experience managing multi–dog households, safety is my second nature. Never Unattended: Because I am retired, dogs are supervised during all outdoor play sessions. Safe Integration: I use my deep understanding of pack dynamics to ensure all interactions are calm and positive. Secure Transitions: I maintain a double–gate mentality to ensure no "door–bolting" accidents occur. A Rescue–Ready Environment I understand that a new environment can be stressful, especially for rescues. My home is set up to be a low–stress sanctuary: Quiet Spaces: I have dedicated areas where dogs can retreat if they need a break or a nap. Senior-Friendly: No steep stairs or slippery floors to worry about—just a flat, comfortable layout perfect for aging joints. Clean & Maintained: I keep a tidy, hazard–free home to ensure your pet’s health and hygiene are prioritized.
“Lorraine is Amazing. Shyla loves going to her house playing with her friends and hanging out with her favorite people. Fur baby loving family Shyla will definitely use Lorraine as a home away from home”
About: I have 20 years of hands-on pet care experience and I've been around animals my entire life. I grew up in a household with multiple high-energy dogs, so caring for pets has always felt like second nature to me. Over the years, I've also lived with roommates whose dogs were just as high-energy, and later a cat, which gave me even more day-to-day experience with different pet personalities, routines, and needs. I have also cared for cats with medical needs. I've done drop-in visits for diabetic cats, including administering insulin injections on schedule. I understand how important consistency, routine, and a calm approach are for pets managing health conditions, and I take that responsibility seriously. My partner and I adopted a cat early last year, so I'm very used to daily pet care and know firsthand how important it is to keep things consistent for a pet's comfort and well-being. Our cat Yuzu is friendly, curious, and very social — I've made sure he's comfortable around new people and pets. If your pet enjoys feline company, they'll have a friendly companion during their boarding stay! Whether it's a high-energy dog who needs a good long walk or extra playtime to burn off energy, a cat who just wants a quick check-in and a clean litter box, or a pet who needs full boarding while their owners are away, I'm comfortable and experienced enough to give them the attentive, reliable care they deserve. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and boarding, and I'm happy to work with pets who have special needs, medications, or routines that require extra attention and consistency. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life since I work from home and have my own cat, Yuzu. Feeding, playtime, and routine check-ins happen daily, so fitting in walks, drop-ins, or boarding for your pet is easy, and I'm able to give them consistent attention throughout the day. In my home, pets are supervised, given a comfortable space, and introduced gradually to Yuzu if they're cat-friendly. In a client's home, I would follow your routines and instructions closely, secure doors and gates, and make sure medications or feeding schedules are followed exactly as directed.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life growing up and love them. I don’t have any pets right now so I want to help others out. I currently work fully remote at a very low demanding role, so I have plenty of time to care for pets and hang out with them! We have a 2 bedroom townhome style unit that has plenty of room for pets to roam around and we enjoy dogs and cats (:
About: I learned pet care from an early age from a dog loving family and then worked with the humane society and spent time with professional trainers. I am a retired school teacher with lots of free time! I love talking brisk, long walks with caninne companions and seeing mature up close. I live in a beautiful condo in Genesee. There is a ton of outdoor space and easy acces to trails. Great for dogs and humans.
About: I've owned dogs my whole life and am very knowledgeable of how to train and care for them. I've owned many different pets from scaly friends to furry ones, both large and small. I have a great deal of knowledge of how to care for both puppies and older companions. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thank you! I currently work from home so I have plenty of time for your furry friends. I have two very friendly and well trained dogs that love having company. We also have a cat that gets along very well with them. I have plenty of space in my back yard that is enclosed by a 6ft fence. We (dogs & I) go for walks and have plenty of play time during the day. I feed my girls twice a day and give them treats once in a while. Neither of my girls are food or treat aggressive. I have a couple of neighbor kids who come over and love to play with and show love to my pets. All of the pets in my home are well loved and cared for.

“This is our second time working with Sora for our puppy Hans. Would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting a thoughtful, responsible, and communicative person to watch their pup!”
“Ryan dealt wonderfully with my very nervous and untrusting rescue puppy. Although the walk did not go as planned, he did an excellent job of communicating the issues with me and handling the situation professionally and calmly. Thank you for all your help!”
“Ken has been great. He’s communicates with me and came and met me and Moose before to make sure it was the right fit. My mind is at ease knowing he’s walking Moose when I’m at work. I highly recommend him!”
About: Hello! I'm Ari. I'm a Geology graduate and a business analyst in tech. I have two cats, Milo and Juniper who are complete opposites. one is a ham and the other is shy. I grew up with dogs and they make my days better. I'm a former outdoor guide and a current triathlete, so I'm comfortable with any level of activity. Your pup can come on a run, a long walk, or just hang out. I'm a Wilderness First Responder and certified in first aid, CPR, and EpiPen. I follow care instructions exactly as given, including medication timing and feeding routines. I provide 24/7 supervision and take last-minute bookings. Pick-up and drop-off available for an additional charge. Please reach out with any questions. Thank you! My schedule is flexible right now, so pet care fits into most of my day rather than around a fixed work block. I'm home for the majority of the day, which means I can do midday walks, drop-ins, and longer stays without rushing. I train most mornings, so early walks and runs are easy to build into what I'm already doing. Afternoons and evenings are open for visits, feeding, and hanging out. I can take last-minute bookings and I'm available on weekends. I'm warm and welcoming, and I think dogs pick up on that. I go at their pace and let them get comfortable before anything else. Safety is my first priority, then their emotional wellbeing. In a client's home, I stick to whatever routine is already in place. Same walk times, same feeding schedule, same spots on the couch if that's allowed. Dogs settle faster when nothing changes. I leave the place how I found it and send photo updates so you know how things are going. I introduce slowly, give them their own space to retreat to, and don't force interaction.
“Isabella was absolutely amazing. We booked her to walk our lab for a week straight while we were on vacation and she was on time (early which is always appreciated), very communicative, and was so good with our doggo. We ended up adding an additional dog walk for another dog that was at the house where ours was staying, and Isabella was okay with it and did phenomenal with both dogs in the end. Would highly highly recommend to anyone and we will utilize her in the future!”

I offer boarding in a cam, caring home as well as drop-in visits for cats and dogs. My schedule is very flexible, so I'm often available for same day or last minute bookings. I don't need advance notice, only for cancellations. Whether it's playtime, meals, meds, walks or just a little loving company. I'll treat your pet like my own. My goal is for you to have peace of mind and for your pet to have the care and attention they deserve. I live 15 minutes from Chatfield dog park and am more than happy to take your dog there for walks and exercise. Pet care is already part of my day. I build my routing around feeding times, walks, play breaks, and quick check-ins. I'm used to adjusting my schedule, so pets get steady care and attention throughout the day, and I keep owner updated as I go. In my home, I create a calm, safe space. I have a 6" fenced yard for play, a pet friendly dog and cat for company, and can crate your dog if that's what they need. When I'm in a clients home, I stick closely to your pet's routine, meals, walks, meds, and lots of attention, so things feel consistent. And if your pup loves adventures, I'm just 15 minutes from Chatfield Dog Park and happy to take them out for safe, fun exercise. I focus on clear communication and regular updates so you feel completely at ease while you're away.
“Lauren was fabulous. She showed up on time, asked great questions to get to know Steve and his walking style, and was out for the whole time or extra. I will be rebooking regularly!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, with it being cats, dogs, or even lizards, crabs, and rats. I enjoy quality time with any pet and learning what they need for care. I have trained dogs. I currently have a part-time job and school. I am available on most weekends, holidays, and weekdays! I perfer two days advance but can be very flexible for your needs. I live near many trails and a very walkable area so your dog will get as much exercise as needed. I also have two cats and a dog if your dog needs more company. I’m able to put cats in a separate room if needed aswell.
About: I learned pet care from an early age from a dog loving family and then worked with the humane society and spent time with professional trainers. I am a retired school teacher with lots of free time! I love talking brisk, long walks with caninne companions and seeing mature up close. I live in a beautiful condo in Genesee. There is a ton of outdoor space and easy acces to trails. Great for dogs and humans.
About: I am extremely patient and engaged and love getting to know each pet at their own pace. I am a dangly cat toy expert and strongly believe in play with both cats and dogs. I also send lots of pet pics because as a pet owner, I know that’s what we need when we are missing our pets. I have a flexible work remote job. I am able to check in am/lunch/pm/evening as needed and give your pet my full attention during that time :) I always give pets my full attention and engage in both the necessary tasks (food, water, litter box, walks, etc.) and enrichment activities (play, catnip, treats, etc.).

“Denae is such a wonderful person, and pet sitter. She is easy to communicate with and sent us frequent updates, pictures while we were away. Emma had the best time staying with her. We will definitely be using her sitting services again!”
“Melinda and Tom are simply amazing humans! They took such good care of my furry son and I sometimes forget we all just met, they feel like family! The peace of mind I have when I traveled this week knowing my sweet Owen was safe and sound with them was a relief. I just don’t feel that “nervousness” that comes w leaving Owen while I travel for work. Owen adores them too!! Thanks for the pixs, he looked so happy! So glad I found you….”
