“Michael is a very nice person who took in my 2 small dogs last minute while we were visiting Glenwood Springs for a family weekend getaway. My dogs were stressed out staying at a hotel and I needed to find a sitter fast. Michael greeted us outside of his very nice community located right near the Colorado river. He was very welcoming and patient and gave excellent care to my dogs. He followed all of my care instructions and my pups were happy and wagging when I picked them up. I would highly recommend him to watch your pets!”
“Chris and Laura were amazing. They took the time to send us pictures and videos showing us Cliff having a great time with them. Would use them again in a heartbeat. Thank you for the excellent care for Cliff while we were gone.”
“Suzanne was easy to communicate with and very welcoming to Henry who has separation anxiety. She sent us pictures along the way. We enjoyed an afternoon relaxing at the hot springs and dinner out and returned to a very calm pup. Will definitely call on Suzanne again!”
“This was our second time with Marie and can’t say enough good things. She communicates well, sends good updates with photos, and sent us home with a happy and tired pooch.”
“Kaitlin was fantastic! Very helpful, accommodating and timely with communication. She sent several photos of my dog while he was staying with her. Cannot thank you enough for caring for my dog, I know he was in good hands.”
“My puppy seemed to be well taken care of and loved the kids in the house. Although she was a little to rambunctious to play with the family’s lab. I was comfortable leaving her in their care. She had a fenced in yard and porch where she could be outside. She was able to get out for a long walk and was tired before I picked her up. Would recommend and use this sitter again.”
About: Trustworthy and reliable human looking to take care of your precious pets! I have many years of experience in animal care and have two dogs of my own! I’m working a seasonal job at the ski resort but my spring and summer is going to be very open. I also have a retired mother who is at home full time and she is also looking for some extra work. Bonus- she is a professional pet groomer! I will do everything I can to accommodate your pets specific needs. I’m able to feed, walk, give meds and plenty of love! My animals are allowed on beds and couches at my house but I can keep to whatever your preferences are in your home.
About: I have owned dogs for over 10+ years. I have experience with senior care (from my own baby girl that passed in December of 2025). I will always love your fur babies as my own. Dogs mean the world to me. I work full time from home, which means I can let them potty as often as they need to be let out. We live near two little lakes, so I can take them on scenic walks outside to enjoy fresh air on my lunches or after work. I am a pretty active person, so if they are an active pup, I can work with that. If they prefer to be more chill & not as active, I can also do that. I don't have a fenced yard, but it's not a problem to let them out to potty, or to go for walks. Dogs are welcome on the furniture. Please let me know your pups bedtime/morning schedules! I can also learn to do injections if needed, or any other medication administration - if you just show me how you normally do it. I would love to also send you all the updates you could possibly want & photos while they are in my care.
“Lu is amazing. He really cares about making sure your dog will be happy in his care and for that reason he met with me and my sweet Ruby multiple times prior to booking to ensure it would be a good fit. Ruby can be a little anxious when our family is not around. Lu saw that and took extra special care of her. He even let her sleep with him despite her snoring :) Lu cared for Ruby for one week and shared photos and sweet stories everyday. I felt totally comfortable and relieved knowing that Ruby was getting longs walks and trips to the park each day. I will definitely ask Lu to take care of Ruby again.”
“Megan was wonderful to our dog, who is older and needs special attention. She sent lots of photos and updates to ease our minds while being away. We could tell when we picked him up, that he was well taken care of and content. I highly recommend her, and will definitely take our dog to her again when we're in her area.”
“Under Stuart's care, I felt at my dog was well cared for and loved while our family was away. He provided great attention and love to my doggo with awesome communication and pictures to keep us at ease while we were away. Would certainly rebook with Stuart in the future and would have no problem recommending others to use him as well.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. What sets me apart is the combination of patience, reliability, and genuine love I bring to every pet I care for. I treat each dog like part of my family and focus on creating a safe, calm, and fun environment while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate feeding times, walks, play sessions, potty breaks, and any special care instructions your pet may need. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while in my care. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit, daily walks, or overnight care, I am committed to keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and following their usual routine as closely as possible. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I make sure they are in a clean, secure, and stress-free environment. I carefully follow each pet owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and daily routines to help pets feel comfortable and maintain consistency. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, needs, and preferences, ensuring they receive the appropriate level of attention, exercise, and affection. During walks, I always use secure leashes and remain attentive to my surroundings. In a client's home, I treat their space with respect and make sure their pet receives loving, reliable care while they are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I have several years caring for dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, birds, you name it! I love all animals and seem to have a special bond with them. I am really good with timid and elderly pets, and always make sure they are as comfortable as can be. I currently work part time as a dog groomer. I will have plenty of time in the early afternoons and weekends to spend time with your fur babies. I am insured! I am respectful and responsible when I visit your home. I will make sure your baby will get the right amount of potty breaks, on time feeding and meet all of their needs. I love to get outside, go on hikes and visit the river. When available, I have a safe, fenced in 3 acre yard for playtime, running, ball throwing and sniffing. I have 3 friendly dogs to play with, but I do have the ability to separate them in a different area when needed. All dogs are allowed inside the house as well.
“David is amazing! This is the first time we went away on vacation and didn’t worry about our dogs. David walked them, played with them and loved on them the whole time. They were fresh off a walk when we picked them up. I think both dogs were actually smiling ?. We are so grateful for David and his wife for such great care our furry children received while we were on vacation ?”
About: I have leash trained and kennel trained dogs over the years and train animals through gentle repetition and reward. Comfortable with special care such as medication or reasonable accommodation. I work from home during the day. We have a Golden Retriever named Biscuit and a Kelpie named Indi who are both super friendly and ready to play. We would prefer daytime services aside from boarding. I've lovingly cared for dogs since age 10, my mom’s farm in Missouri currently has 5 border collies. I love animals. Family, Neighbors and friends have trusted me for years to provide attentive walking & feeding for their furry companions. Currently since we have ample space on the ranch for outdoor play I have decided to start these services. We will have frequent trips to nearby parks like Sutey Ranch, Red Mt and Crown Mt.
“Nicole is hands down amazing! She cared for my pups as if they were her own. If you’re looking for the best to care for your furry family members look no further. Nicole is the BEST!”

“Sarah was amazing! Kitty was recovering from a cold and she made sure to throughly take care of him (wiping eye boogers, etc.). I had absolutely no worries with her checking up on him. She made sure to do everything asked and focused her attention on Kitty the entire time here. I highly recommend her, I’ll book with her again if I need!”
“Aspen was incredibly helpful. She went beyond our agreement when I got stuck for 5 hours due to a highway shut down. She came back after already taking my dog for a walk that day due to a last minute request to let her out and feed her after I had been gone over 12 hours. She’s trustworthy, responsive, and is very kind.”
“Suzanne followed all instructions to a tee and even was willing to use her own cat food when the order being delivered was delayed. She was timely in her visits and sent pictures each time. My cats were happy and healthy when I arrived home. Definitely would use Suzanne again.”
“Had a great drop in experience with Natalie who booked the service within four days before the appointment. She handles our pet who was a nervous nelly during our short time away. Thumbs up emoji”
About: I strive to treat everyone's furbabies with the highest level of care as if they're my own. I've cared for every age of dog and cat for...really my whole life. I can administer medications and keep an eye on and assist more "special needs" furbabies if needed. I am a Biology major and try to learn as much as I can to care for animals the best I possibly can. I am currently working on animal first aid but I do know human FA so I can spot an emergency and care for minor wounds. I am currently working as needed at my job but, even then, my days are really open. I do have medical appointments here and there so sometimes I just need to leave the house for those but I try to return to the house expeditiously because I dont want the animals to be alone for too long. I understand not leaving dogs (especially) for too long between potty breaks so I can work around that but I try to stay at the house for 95+ percent of the time I am sitting. I purposely work around the animal's schedule so that they can be as comfortable and cared for as possible. I try to get as much information from the owner as possible so that I can make the time as similar to when the owner is around. I know changes can be stressful so avoiding any as much as possible is the best. I am known to be a cuddler but if they want their space I can definitely give it. I can give outside time to the best of my abilities and can transport in my own car with great safety if needed (e.g. if they love lake play, etc.). For younger animals, I can give regular care and make sure the space stays clean and cared for as best as possible. I understand that they need more supervision and help. I also try my best to keep an eye on outdoor heavy animals and shy animals to make sure theyre doing alright during my stay as well.
“Marie and Loki were great about sending photos and updates about Bear Cat and keeping us apprised of his shenanigans. Will definitely use them again when the time comes!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life, with family, friends and neighbors all asking me to assist in dog sitting and walking! In the last few years, I have taken on serious pet sitting jobs. I have taken care of up to three dogs at a time for long periods of time, as well as taken care of cats and other smaller animals. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of availability! My schedule is flexible, so reach out if you have any pet sitting/walking needs! I love going on walks and hikes, and would love to take you pet with me! I offer house sitting services as well, and can take care of your pet in the comfort of their own home.
“Chelsea took amazing care of my two kittens while I was gone for the week. Her thorough notes and many pictures and videos made it much easier to be away from home. My cats are particularly friendly and attention-loving which she was happy to accommodate. You can trust her with your pets!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats for the past 8 years. Including some who needed extra care. I’m happy to help anyone in need and make sure their pets get all my love and attention. I’m currently a nursing student at the University of Tampa and am flexible with afternoons/mornings during the week. I am also available all day Friday-Sunday. I am experienced with dogs who need to be leashed, have an electric fence in the backyard or that come to when called. I have given baths/groomed, walks, runs, playing catch and cuddles.
About: Ever since I can remember, I’ve been surrounded by animals. Growing up with three large dogs and two cats gave me a strong foundation in animal care and a lifelong love for pets. Over the years, I have volunteered more than 130 hours with animal shelters and rescue organizations, gaining hands-on experience with a wide variety of tasks including walking, bathing, administering medications, transporting animals to and from veterinary appointments, and fostering dogs in need in my home. I’m also a full-time dog mom and currently work part-time from home, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide attentive care. I love spending time outdoors, whether that’s long neighborhood walks, hiking local trails, or simply enjoying fresh air with a happy pup by my side. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I would love the opportunity to help with all of your pet care needs and provide peace of mind while you're away. I have two dogs at home that I care for full time. First thing in the morning I let my pups outback into the fenced in yard. I then feed them breakfast around 7:30am. We love to go to the park or for walks, we do this every day. Some days we will head up to a lake or reservoir for some swimming. We have dinner in the evening and potentially another walk. When caring for a pet in your home, I like to do a meet and greet with the dog first if that is a possibility. When being in your home I can provide the dog with treats and a slow introduction to gain their trust. Once this has been completed, then I will go about their daily routine per your request.
About: I have worked with dogs for a few years and grew up with cats. I take care of a lot of my friends and families animals. I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I am starting the Vet Tech program alongside working at a local vet clinic as well! I am a early riser and will come and feed and let out your dogs. I will be there all night and let them out throughout the night. I am very accommodating. I will not have dogs staying in my home but I will get there early mornings and late evenings to take them out on walks.
About: I have grown up with always having animals around. I have lived on multiple farms, and have volunteered with several animal sanctuaries, including one for wildlife in Costa Rica. I also have spent the last five years fostering animals with the Humane society as I lived in Asheville and completed my schooling. Through this experience, I have worked with neonatal newborns, pregnant and nursing mothers, potty training- ages, senior pets, and those who take medication. As I create this account, I am traveling and petsitting on the road. My schedule is very flexible because of this, and so I am open to long or short stays. Every animal is unique, and I love to get to know their personalities and preferences! It is my goal to ensure that animal and animal parent both are happy and comfortable.
About: Growing up with two dogs and a cat, I have life-long experience caring for pets. I am great with detail when it comes to pet care and I love keeping pets happy and active while their parents are away! I am available every afternoon after around 5pm, and I am available all day Fridays-Sundays. I work Mondays-Thursdays, although this varies and I am usually available for walks and check-ins every day after 5pm. I am usually available all day Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for dog sitting, walking, and boarding. My house has a fenced in yard in the front. I also live right next to a lovely greenway to take the dogs out for longer walks. I also have a bed and bowls for food and water.

“Marie was very accommodating in the booking, making sure all was taken care of. Super convenient and very friendly. Even tolerated the kisses our pup likes to share and her bed when she need down time.”
“Suzanne was very friendly and has a kind soul. My dog was not sure about being in a new place for the 1st . Suzanne took the time to make her comfortable. I would recommend her”
“Sofía was great! She was very communicative and responsive. I love that she took photos of Charro through out his day and she gave me a peace of mind that he was well. Overall, Sofia was very friendly, easy to work with and I really appreciate her care for Charro while he was with her.”
“Teresa was THE BEST!! Seriously would trust her with my baby, she did such a wonderful job. She spent the entire day with my sweet boy one on one so my husband and I could check out Glenwood Springs. She took great care of him and spent lots of time with him. She fed him his lunch and even took him out for a stroll on the river walk. Teresa is a delightful person and an excellent doggy day care mom.”
“We are so grateful Andrea accepted our last minute request. She was great at communicating with us and sent us many pictures of Baloo during his time with her. Highly recommend.”
“Nicole was so great! Very communicative and responsive, took such great care of our Olive. Olive was so happy and clearly had such a great time hiking and playing she napped all the way home :)”
“Lu came through in the clutch! We were on a road trip and realized last minute that we couldn’t take Marni on our hike because dogs aren’t permitted on the trail, and Lu saved the day. Lu was super communicative, professional, and clearly comfortable with dogs. Marni had a great time visiting Lu’s pack :)”

“Monica was very warm and welcoming. Dropped off the pup so I could spend a day at the hot springs. She was eager to hang out with new people and seemed very relaxed when I picked her up. Would definitely book again!”

About: I am based in Carbondale, CO. I am currently pet/house sitting full time throughout the summer so I'm able to provide a high level of care for pets and homes throughout the valley! I've cared for my own dogs, roommates' dogs, friends' pets, Trusted Housesitter stays, and Rover sits over the past 10 years. I've cared for dogs from puppyhood to 13 years old. I've also cat-sat for friends, Trusted Housesitters, and Rover clients over the years. I'm happy to take them on walks, hikes, dog parks, and potty/play breaks throughout the day. The longest I've watched someone's pet was for 2 months, and I loved it! I'm also happy to take them camping if that's their jam. Feel free to reach out with any other questions! A note on transportation - In addition to my ambulance camper, I have an e-bike I often enjoy cycling throughout the valley, so parking availability at your home should not be an issue. I currently am full time pet sitting for the summer. I am very attentive and love morning, midday, fetch, and evening walks. I can take them to the dog park or on hikes, or if they're good with bikes, I can take them on even longer run/bike rides. I am very respectful and clean when staying at a client's house. I treat it like my own (if not better). I love going for walks with your pup and keeping them on a leash. I also don't give in to the cute puppy eyes when I'm eating my food and keep them to their parents' approved food and treats.
“Nevada took such great care of my timid dog. Her own personal dog also did a great job of feeling mine feel comfortable and at ease. Nevada sent me pictures thru out the visit and was even able to do pick up/drop off”
“Good communication and super flexible. We used Megan for daycare as we hiked close by. Jersey was well taken care of and Megan was flexible with pickup after we finished out hike. Thanks again!”
“Katie was so friendly and accommodating during our last minute request! She was so sweet and I immediately trusted her with my Pomeranian. I would absolutely use her again and recommend her highly!”

About: Hello! I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and have one dog of my own that would love to be friends with your fur baby! I have 20+ years of experience, and am extremely active. I listen well to instructions and will ensure your dog has the best walk, time or visit I can provide! I have had dogs ranging from large Bernese mountain dogs like my own to a small maltepoo (my parents dog) who has an extremely sensitive stomach and requires extra attention. I also volunteered at the SPCA in San Francisco for 3 years and the Dumb Friends League in Denver for 4 years which gave me exposure to handling dogs from all walks of life - some of them easy and mellow, others extremely shy and required gentle handling and patience, while others were aggressive and required someone who understands how to calm and work with an aggressive dog. I look forward to working with you and your dog! I’m currently home most of the time outside of running or volunteering at the Colorado therapeutic riding center which I have a couple 1-4 hour shifts 2-3x a week. I can offer house sitting if my dog, Aspen, can come with me. I also offer boarding one dog at a time (or 2 if they are both yours) from my condo in Boulder. I take the dogs out every 2-4 hours and Aspen (outside of when we’re sleeping) and I go on a walk every morning. I will do the same for your pup! I ALWAYS keep my eye on the pups and have 1 other very friendly and lovable Bernese mountain dog who can’t wait to welcome your pet!

“**A Memorable Experience in Carbondale and Glenwood Springs** We had the pleasure of booking Aspen during our camping trip to Carbondale, and she truly made our adventure unforgettable. Aspen's flexibility allowed us to enjoy two wonderful days exploring the hot springs in Glenwood Springs. She went above and beyond by taking our pups, Mia and Daisy, on a delightful hike, ensuring they had as much fun as we did. Her care and attention to our furry friends were evident, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. Aspen's love for animals and her dedication to providing exceptional service made our trip even more special. We wholeheartedly recommend Aspen to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Her commitment to our pets' well-being and her warm, friendly demeanor made all the difference. Thank you, Aspen, for adding that extra touch to our memorable getaway!”

About: I’ve been caring for fur babies since I graduated high school, giving both puppies and senior dogs the special attention they need.

About: Lifelong animal, pet, and nature lover! I have been caring for other people’s pets for over 15 years. At times, life got a little too busy for me to continue with this enjoyable “work”, but now I am able to re-cultivate this passion once again. From walking your dog, to taking them on adventures and hikes, to overnight stays, I am available for your precious pet’s need. I have a Chihuahua mix of my own that I rescued in 2020, and he is such a sweetheart and a major lover of cuddling. During my downtime, I can be found reading, hiking, cleaning, or doing yoga. For a small additional fee, I would love to help you with any other needs you may have, such as house work, organizing, cleaning, or light yardwork. I strive to meet all the needs and desires of your fur bab. From walks, to hikes, to overnight stays, I aim to make myself available! I work in an office setting M-Th 8a-5p, but I typically have flexibility with many breaks and a long lunch. I work from home on Fridays. About twice a month, I am on-call on the weekends (8a-8p), and will provide more details if that overlaps with your booking. I live in Rifle, so I offer drop-in visits and dog walking from Glenwood Springs to Parachute. For overnight stays, I will travel from Aspen to Grand Junction. I have a fenced yard for potty breaks, and a doggy door that leads to my little yard. My dog doesn’t use the doggy door, so I am happy to keep it closed if that is your preference. I love to go on walks with dogs, and will walk them for whatever amount of time they are used to or suits their energy level. I have a sweet, small dog that is friendly to all animals he meets. He will play with your pet, or give your pet space, he is happy either way.
About: Trustworthy and reliable human looking to take care of your precious pets! I have many years of experience in animal care and have two dogs of my own! I’m working a seasonal job at the ski resort but my spring and summer is going to be very open. I also have a retired mother who is at home full time and she is also looking for some extra work. Bonus- she is a professional pet groomer! I will do everything I can to accommodate your pets specific needs. I’m able to feed, walk, give meds and plenty of love! My animals are allowed on beds and couches at my house but I can keep to whatever your preferences are in your home.
“We have 2 older dogs, and Morgan was great with them! We had her come to our house 3 times a day to care for them. She left us daily updates on text, and would respond promptly if we would reach out. She really put our mind at ease, and our dogs loved her.”
About: Hey, I’m Marie (and my husband Loki also pet sits with me) and we’d love the chance to spend time with your pets! We have pet sat many dogs of all ages and sizes over the years, from rescues to purebreds, young and old. We are active people who love going outside for walks and hikes as much as we love cuddles from furry friends. We sit at your house, or board pets in our own home with a shaded fenced in yard. I hope you’ll choose us to spend some time caring for and loving your pets! Hope to hear from you! Please note we do pet sit multiple dogs at a time. Some days we have up to 12 or 15 dogs when it’s extremely busy. I work from home and usually am not out of the house for longer than 1-2 hours, at most 4-5 hours. Loki husband doesn’t start working until 3pm most days so your pets have us home a lot! In our home: we have a doggie door and fenced in yard. We only accept dogs at are friendly with others at this time, because we often watch more than one dog at a time. Up to 15. In your home: about the same as above! My husband and I will usually stay at your home together and will try to leave it cleaner than we found it. We pull sheets and get the load started so when you get home, your pup is happy, and you only have to transfer the sheets to the dryer. We consider ourselves great guests and have gotten great feedback from owners happy to come back to a clean house.
“Chelsea is so reliable and professional. She truly has a soulful love for dogs and knows them well! I feel so relaxed when I know Chelsea is watching Theo. She goes beyond the duties that are required. She is a trustworthy sitter.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life! I absolutely love walking, playing and giving dogs all the love and care they deserve. From taking care of my own dog to helping friends and family out with theirs, I am here to help when you need it! I am currently off from work on Mondays giving me lots of time then to walk/check on your pups anywhere in the valley then! On Sundays I can walk/drop in on pups in Aspen and the other days I am often available for early morning or evening walks. I treat every pet like my own and work with owners to make sure they are getting the care they need. Just let me know how to make your pup the happiest they can be while you’re away!
About: Ever since I can remember, I’ve been surrounded by animals. Growing up with three large dogs and two cats gave me a strong foundation in animal care and a lifelong love for pets. Over the years, I have volunteered more than 130 hours with animal shelters and rescue organizations, gaining hands-on experience with a wide variety of tasks including walking, bathing, administering medications, transporting animals to and from veterinary appointments, and fostering dogs in need in my home. I’m also a full-time dog mom and currently work part-time from home, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide attentive care. I love spending time outdoors, whether that’s long neighborhood walks, hiking local trails, or simply enjoying fresh air with a happy pup by my side. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I would love the opportunity to help with all of your pet care needs and provide peace of mind while you're away. I have two dogs at home that I care for full time. First thing in the morning I let my pups outback into the fenced in yard. I then feed them breakfast around 7:30am. We love to go to the park or for walks, we do this every day. Some days we will head up to a lake or reservoir for some swimming. We have dinner in the evening and potentially another walk. When caring for a pet in your home, I like to do a meet and greet with the dog first if that is a possibility. When being in your home I can provide the dog with treats and a slow introduction to gain their trust. Once this has been completed, then I will go about their daily routine per your request.
About: I’ve owned and trained two dogs from puppyhood—a Husky and my current German Wirehaired Pointer, Lenny. Training and building a strong relationship with my dogs has always been important to me. Having lived in the Roaring Fork Valley for over 12 years, I spend most of my time outdoors hiking, walking, and exploring. When your pup stays with me—whether for an hour, a day, or overnight—you can count on them getting plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. They’ll come home happy, tired, and ready to snuggle. I work from home so I usually get out for a walk or run in the morning. Afternoon jont to split up the day and then an evening activity depending on what is on the schedule. I have a fenced backyard and Lenny (my pup) to add to the fun. She’s a great companion to other dogs but also great for training.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats for the past 8 years. Including some who needed extra care. I’m happy to help anyone in need and make sure their pets get all my love and attention. I’m currently a nursing student at the University of Tampa and am flexible with afternoons/mornings during the week. I am also available all day Friday-Sunday. I am experienced with dogs who need to be leashed, have an electric fence in the backyard or that come to when called. I have given baths/groomed, walks, runs, playing catch and cuddles.
About: I am based in Carbondale, CO. I am currently pet/house sitting full time throughout the summer so I'm able to provide a high level of care for pets and homes throughout the valley! I've cared for my own dogs, roommates' dogs, friends' pets, Trusted Housesitter stays, and Rover sits over the past 10 years. I've cared for dogs from puppyhood to 13 years old. I've also cat-sat for friends, Trusted Housesitters, and Rover clients over the years. I'm happy to take them on walks, hikes, dog parks, and potty/play breaks throughout the day. The longest I've watched someone's pet was for 2 months, and I loved it! I'm also happy to take them camping if that's their jam. Feel free to reach out with any other questions! A note on transportation - In addition to my ambulance camper, I have an e-bike I often enjoy cycling throughout the valley, so parking availability at your home should not be an issue. I currently am full time pet sitting for the summer. I am very attentive and love morning, midday, fetch, and evening walks. I can take them to the dog park or on hikes, or if they're good with bikes, I can take them on even longer run/bike rides. I am very respectful and clean when staying at a client's house. I treat it like my own (if not better). I love going for walks with your pup and keeping them on a leash. I also don't give in to the cute puppy eyes when I'm eating my food and keep them to their parents' approved food and treats.
About: I have worked with dogs for a few years and grew up with cats. I take care of a lot of my friends and families animals. I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I am starting the Vet Tech program alongside working at a local vet clinic as well! I am a early riser and will come and feed and let out your dogs. I will be there all night and let them out throughout the night. I am very accommodating. I will not have dogs staying in my home but I will get there early mornings and late evenings to take them out on walks.

“Michael is a very nice person who took in my 2 small dogs last minute while we were visiting Glenwood Springs for a family weekend getaway. My dogs were stressed out staying at a hotel and I needed to find a sitter fast. Michael greeted us outside of his very nice community located right near the Colorado river. He was very welcoming and patient and gave excellent care to my dogs. He followed all of my care instructions and my pups were happy and wagging when I picked them up. I would highly recommend him to watch your pets!”
“Chris and Laura were amazing. They took the time to send us pictures and videos showing us Cliff having a great time with them. Would use them again in a heartbeat. Thank you for the excellent care for Cliff while we were gone.”
“Suzanne was easy to communicate with and very welcoming to Henry who has separation anxiety. She sent us pictures along the way. We enjoyed an afternoon relaxing at the hot springs and dinner out and returned to a very calm pup. Will definitely call on Suzanne again!”
“This was our second time with Marie and can’t say enough good things. She communicates well, sends good updates with photos, and sent us home with a happy and tired pooch.”
“Kaitlin was fantastic! Very helpful, accommodating and timely with communication. She sent several photos of my dog while he was staying with her. Cannot thank you enough for caring for my dog, I know he was in good hands.”
“My puppy seemed to be well taken care of and loved the kids in the house. Although she was a little to rambunctious to play with the family’s lab. I was comfortable leaving her in their care. She had a fenced in yard and porch where she could be outside. She was able to get out for a long walk and was tired before I picked her up. Would recommend and use this sitter again.”
About: I have owned dogs for over 10+ years. I have experience with senior care (from my own baby girl that passed in December of 2025). I will always love your fur babies as my own. Dogs mean the world to me. I work full time from home, which means I can let them potty as often as they need to be let out. We live near two little lakes, so I can take them on scenic walks outside to enjoy fresh air on my lunches or after work. I am a pretty active person, so if they are an active pup, I can work with that. If they prefer to be more chill & not as active, I can also do that. I don't have a fenced yard, but it's not a problem to let them out to potty, or to go for walks. Dogs are welcome on the furniture. Please let me know your pups bedtime/morning schedules! I can also learn to do injections if needed, or any other medication administration - if you just show me how you normally do it. I would love to also send you all the updates you could possibly want & photos while they are in my care.
“Lu is amazing. He really cares about making sure your dog will be happy in his care and for that reason he met with me and my sweet Ruby multiple times prior to booking to ensure it would be a good fit. Ruby can be a little anxious when our family is not around. Lu saw that and took extra special care of her. He even let her sleep with him despite her snoring :) Lu cared for Ruby for one week and shared photos and sweet stories everyday. I felt totally comfortable and relieved knowing that Ruby was getting longs walks and trips to the park each day. I will definitely ask Lu to take care of Ruby again.”
“Megan was wonderful to our dog, who is older and needs special attention. She sent lots of photos and updates to ease our minds while being away. We could tell when we picked him up, that he was well taken care of and content. I highly recommend her, and will definitely take our dog to her again when we're in her area.”
“Under Stuart's care, I felt at my dog was well cared for and loved while our family was away. He provided great attention and love to my doggo with awesome communication and pictures to keep us at ease while we were away. Would certainly rebook with Stuart in the future and would have no problem recommending others to use him as well.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. What sets me apart is the combination of patience, reliability, and genuine love I bring to every pet I care for. I treat each dog like part of my family and focus on creating a safe, calm, and fun environment while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate feeding times, walks, play sessions, potty breaks, and any special care instructions your pet may need. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while in my care. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit, daily walks, or overnight care, I am committed to keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and following their usual routine as closely as possible. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I make sure they are in a clean, secure, and stress-free environment. I carefully follow each pet owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and daily routines to help pets feel comfortable and maintain consistency. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, needs, and preferences, ensuring they receive the appropriate level of attention, exercise, and affection. During walks, I always use secure leashes and remain attentive to my surroundings. In a client's home, I treat their space with respect and make sure their pet receives loving, reliable care while they are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I have several years caring for dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, birds, you name it! I love all animals and seem to have a special bond with them. I am really good with timid and elderly pets, and always make sure they are as comfortable as can be. I currently work part time as a dog groomer. I will have plenty of time in the early afternoons and weekends to spend time with your fur babies. I am insured! I am respectful and responsible when I visit your home. I will make sure your baby will get the right amount of potty breaks, on time feeding and meet all of their needs. I love to get outside, go on hikes and visit the river. When available, I have a safe, fenced in 3 acre yard for playtime, running, ball throwing and sniffing. I have 3 friendly dogs to play with, but I do have the ability to separate them in a different area when needed. All dogs are allowed inside the house as well.
“David is amazing! This is the first time we went away on vacation and didn’t worry about our dogs. David walked them, played with them and loved on them the whole time. They were fresh off a walk when we picked them up. I think both dogs were actually smiling ?. We are so grateful for David and his wife for such great care our furry children received while we were on vacation ?”
About: I have leash trained and kennel trained dogs over the years and train animals through gentle repetition and reward. Comfortable with special care such as medication or reasonable accommodation. I work from home during the day. We have a Golden Retriever named Biscuit and a Kelpie named Indi who are both super friendly and ready to play. We would prefer daytime services aside from boarding. I've lovingly cared for dogs since age 10, my mom’s farm in Missouri currently has 5 border collies. I love animals. Family, Neighbors and friends have trusted me for years to provide attentive walking & feeding for their furry companions. Currently since we have ample space on the ranch for outdoor play I have decided to start these services. We will have frequent trips to nearby parks like Sutey Ranch, Red Mt and Crown Mt.
“Nicole is hands down amazing! She cared for my pups as if they were her own. If you’re looking for the best to care for your furry family members look no further. Nicole is the BEST!”
“We highly recommend Nevada for all of your pet care needs! She is experienced, knowledgeable, dependable and flexible. Our dog Birdie is shy with strangers, but Nevada was patient and attentive and made her feel right at home. Her sweet dog Duke is a gentle soul and was very accepting of Birdie in his space. Nevada will treat your pet like her own, providing lots of love and exercise! Birdie always comes home happy and smiling!”
“Paige took such good care of my dog! From walks to runs in the park, and sent so many pictures to keep me updated. So glad I found her, and that Clark got to play with her sweet dog Aspen ♥️ Thank you!”
