About: Over the years, friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and love their pets like my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments—from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience. My priority is making sure your pup feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. I can take dogs out for walks, bathroom breaks, or playtime whenever they need. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays and can easily adjust to fit your pet’s routine. I have a large fenced-in yard where pets can safely play and explore. Since I work from home, I’m able to give them plenty of attention, regular bathroom breaks, and exercise. I always prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment so your furry family member feels right at home.

About: After 13 years as a devoted dog mom, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'm a professor with a flexible schedule who works from home most days, so I provide steady attention, supervision, and companionship. With a spacious fenced yard and a nearby park, your pet will have plenty of safe space to play, explore, and feel at home. I miss dog energy in my home and would love to care for yours! For everyone's comfort and safety, I require that dogs be non-aggressive and friendly around my animal-loving 6-year-old daughter (she is with me half the time). Meet and greets are required (virtual or in person) before booking. This helps us make sure it feels like a great match for everyone. I am a professor, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time off to fit your pet's care into my daily routine. I have a large fenced yard and a park just steps from my home, so your pet can get lots of exercise. I prefer to host no more than one to two dogs at a time for boarding or daycare, so each pup receives plenty of attention and care. I may make exceptions for up to three dogs if they’re from the same family and are comfortable together.
About: Had indoor dogs most of my life. After buying my home in Lakewood, had a dog door installed even though I did not have my own dog knowing I would frequently have dogs in the house. I have frequently cared for dogs when family and/or friends were out of town, but nothing official. I've worked from home for 25 years. Real Estate Broker in west metro Denver area. With the interest rates and political climate, my business has been slow this year (like most brokers) As long as I can still ride my bike and talk with clients over the phone and occasionally show a house, I have time to walk or hang out with with your dog. As stated above, I have been a real estate broker for 25 years. I have been in thousands of homes in all neighborhoods. Securing a home is second nature to me and I give my buyers lectures on not touching things. I also coach for the local high school MTB team, so between real estate and coaching I get background checked more than once a year. Both the real estate job and coaching would go away if I could not pass a background check. Never risking that.

As a longtime dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet.
