“Great first stay. Our golden is very apprehensive with strangers but Connie and her dog made her feel right at home. Great yard for the dogs to run and play in. Will definitely use Connie in the future.”

“Kasse was so wonderful in taking care of Chani for the weekend. It was our first time dropping off our new dog for a couple of days with someone new, and immediately upon meeting Kasse we felt like we could fully trust her. Chani had so much fun playing with Jack and Zoey all weekend, and Kasse was always communicating with us and sending photos and updates. Thanks so much again, Kasse!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Marci and her husband. They watched my dog, Desi, for an extended weekend and were absolutely phenomenal. I’m always a little nervous leaving her with someone new, but they put me at ease right away. They sent regular updates and photos throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. Desi was clearly well cared for and happy the entire time. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, responsible pet care, and I will definitely be using them again for future travel!”

We highly recommend Amber and won't hesitate to book her again next time!”

“This is the second time I've booked with Lindsay. I tried to not take it personally when Luna nearly knocked me over getting out of the car and ran up to Lindsay's door. I guess she enjoyed staying there last time. :-) Linsday was great and very understanding when I had car issues and needed to change the pick up time. Will definitely book with her again!”

About: I grew up on a farm with cats, dogs, pigs, goats and horses! I worked with a breeder so I have lots of experience with puppies and mothers. Most dogs I've spent time with are high energy dogs like Australian shepard's but I've also spent time with low energy like Saint Bernards. I am a travel occupational therapist currently taking a break from moving around. Currently not working so I am very free! I love morning walks. I live in a camper but your fur baby will not be home alone! Our campground has a fenced dog run and I would love to visit some parks if comfortable. I can visit your pet within their home at any time of day.
“I am so grateful and pleased with the care my pups received from Katelyn!!! I had a last minute hunting trip that my dogs could not be a part of, and Katelyn answered me quickly, arranged boarding and my 2 dogs quickly became part of her little dog pack! Katelyn’s property is perfect for watching dogs, off the road, large grass flats in front and around her home, with a large fence in the back, all surrounded by grasslands and farms! A pup parent’s paradise! Katelyn sent me pics throughout the stay and her dogs meshed super well with my dogs! We are already discussing our next trip and will definitely be booking Katelyn again!”

“Gucci loved when Nicholas came to check in on her. He also was very prompt in responding and letting me know about changes in the house while we were gone.”
“Bre was so amazing with our kitty during his 6 day stay with her. We could tell right away that she is a cat person, and our cat really loved her too. She was sweet and loving with him and a great communicator with us. She gave us frequent updates and sent pictures, and followed our instructions for his care perfectly. Our cat loved his time with her, and when we came to pick him up, he gave her a ton of kisses goodbye. We will definitely use Bre again for pet sitting!”
“Phenomenal person, she did a great job taking care of all my pets, frogs and geckos included! Very responsive, great communication and care every time I've booked with her!”
“Julia was great! She was able to fit us in for home visits for our cat last minute after our pet care unexpectedly fell through and we were left in a tough spot, and she did such an amazing job. She was super patient with our rather grumpy and aloof elderly cat, and it was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. Next time we’re out of town I’ll definitely be checking whether Julia is available to watch him again! Thanks, Julia!”
“Annabelle has been great with our skittish cat, Ekko. She’s very patient and kind and makes sure to go at Ekko’s pace. Ekko has started coming out of her shell around Annabelle which is great and makes me feel comfortable leaving Ekko in her care.”
“Cecily did great with Binx! It was the longest I’ve ever been away from the little guy, and she sat and played with him to keep him company while I was away. Highly recommended her to watch your fur babies!”
“Kasse is always on time with giving all the love to my furry alligator. She is very professional, while still having fun with a job that should be fun. Second time using her services and will be returning”
“Katie was fantastic. Extremely responsive, dependable, and communicative from start to finish. She sent pictures and a report after every visit, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my pets were well cared for and happy. I would absolutely recommend her and would not hesitate to book her again.”

“Sharon was awesome! She made sure Opal was comfortable during the day and took her on plenty of walks. When I came to pick her up she told me how her day was and gave me some tips for working on training with her.”
“I had a little anxiety at first because it was the first time boarding my doggie ?. Suzanne made us feel at ease with continuous photos she sent us through out the day and also seeing our dog warming up to her and her husband. I recommend Suzanne highly ‼️”
“Julia is AMAZING!!! We have boarded our dogs with her, as well as dropped them off for doggy daycare. She has a clean, secure yard and we never worried about our dogs getting out. She communicates frequently and sends photos of the pups playing. Our dog Echo loves Julia's dog Abby and gets so excited to see her! I also appreciate that Julia does a meet and greet with any new animal to make sure everyone is comfortable! 10/10 would recommend!!!”
About: Aloha! I’m Amber, a pet sitter based in Grand Junction, Colorado, with 14 years of pet care experience. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, as well as a wide variety of breeds and sizes, ranging from Yorkies to Great Danes. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, and I tailor their care accordingly. - I currently offer boarding in my home for up to three dogs from the same household at a time, allowing me to provide each guest with plenty of individual attention and care. My goal is to provide a comfortable, home-like environment where your pets can feel safe, settled, and cared for while you’re away. - In addition to dogs, I have previous experience caring for cats, birds, reptiles, and other small animals. I’m not currently offering standalone boarding services for these pets; however, additional pets from the same household may be considered when boarding your dog. - At this time, I’m only offering boarding in my home and am not available for in-home pet sitting at other locations. Feel free to message me with any questions or to discuss your pet’s individual needs! I work from home, so I’ll be available throughout your pet’s stay to help maintain their normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable and secure. Home Environment: My home has a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, play, and potty breaks. We also live just a short drive from a local trail and park. I have a 20 lb male Havanese who lives in the home. - Drop-Off & Introductions: I typically do a quick door hand-off at drop-off to help keep the transition calm and minimize distractions. Once your dog(s) come inside with me, they’re given time to explore the space at their own pace. We’ll unpack their things and give them some time to settle in and get comfortable before introducing them to my dog. Introductions are done one-on-one, gradually, and under my close supervision. - Exclusive Care & Multiple-Household Bookings: For safety and to help everyone adjust comfortably, I accept no more than three guest dogs at a time. For dogs who are reactive or have higher exercise and enrichment needs, including some high-energy and sporting breeds, I may limit this to two depending on my partner’s schedule so I can provide each dog with the attention they need. I’ve recently opened up my schedule to accept weekend daycare bookings from different households at the same time and am considering doing the same with boarding on a case-by-case basis. At the time I respond to your initial request, I actively consider your dog(s) on my schedule while we’re ironing out the details. If another household is interested in the same dates, I’ll always let you know and discuss it with you first. I will not accept another household once your dog(s) are already in my care unless it has been discussed and approved by you prior to arrival. If you prefer exclusive care, please let me know! There is no additional charge for exclusive care, and once your booking is confirmed as exclusive, I will not accept another household for the same dates or overlapping drop-off/pick-up times. If there happens to be a same-day drop-off/pick-up conflict due to close timing windows, I’ll work with you to see if your dog(s) are comfortable riding in my car or truck and whether pickup or drop-off at your home would be a good option. Certain households will automatically receive exclusive care, including females in heat, intact males, puppies who are still completing their vaccination series, and senior dogs with modified vaccination schedules. For multiple-household bookings, I will confirm that all dogs are up to date on core vaccinations plus Bordetella. Safety comes first, and multiple-household bookings will always depend on each dog’s temperament, needs, and compatibility. - Supervision & Separation: Playtime is supervised, and separation from my own dog using a playpen or kennel is available as needed for individual enrichment, personal space, or throughout the stay if your dog(s) are more comfortable on their own. Dogs are also separated during mealtimes based on their individual needs, feeding habits, and comfort levels. - Routines & Training Tools: If your dog normally sleeps or eats in a crate, please bring it with them when possible so I can maintain their usual routine. Depending on the size of their crate or setup, I may not always be able to accommodate their typical arrangement, so please let me know in advance. Barking is completely expected, so please don’t worry if your dog tends to be vocal. I just appreciate a heads up! If your dog currently uses a clicker, e-collar, muzzle, or other training tool as part of their established routine, I’m happy to continue using it during their stay. Please let me know ahead of time and provide any instructions needed for proper use. - Last-Minute Bookings & Availability: For last-minute bookings, I may have prior commitments that require me to be out of the home for a short period. If so, I’ll let you know prior to confirming. My partner, Dalton, also works from home and would be here during that timeframe to watch over your dog(s). I also have two Furbo cameras set up in the home so I can check in while I’m away. - At this time, I only offer pet sitting in my home and am not available for in-home sitting at other locations.
“Dan was able to accommodate a daycare session last minute when we had a medical emergency. He cared for our pup like his own, sent a bunch of pictures spread throughout the day and even a video. This really helped us to know that our pup was having a fun time and being well cared for. We are grateful for Dan and his pups for the wonderful day they gave our pup while we were dealing with serious health issues. If you’ve come across Dan while looking for someone to care for your dog, look no further. If he has space on your schedule, just press request.”
“Eleshia was everything we could hope for and more! She took great care of our small dog, was flexible on timing, and offered up stellar recommendations for what to do in the area. 10 stars if I could give them!”
“Ashley took a great care of Bolt while I was attending a concert in Grand Junction! He got along with the kids and their dog Molly pretty well, and they played a lot in the yard. Ashley made sure they're fed separately as I requested, and provided regular updates with photos. Highly recommended and will definitely visit again.”
“Amazing experience. Great person and sitter. Immediately felt comfortable leaving our dog, and our dog gave no hesitation to walk in, stay, and be left. We have a nervous dog, so new places and people can make her hesitant. She immediately took to the sitter and the house. We received pics of her activities through the day and she seemed so happy and confident. If she is uncomfortable it becomes obvious quickly, once we received a pic of her napping and comfortable we knew we made the right decision. I am so glad we took our dog here, and she came home tired and stress free. Wonderful experience. Next time we come to the area this is the person we want to watch our dog.”
“Apollo had a great time with Lori and Tucker! Tucker was the perfect friend for Apollo. Lori was great at listening to Apollo’s needs and working with me to fit my schedule.”

About: I have had pets of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs and have cared for all their needs. Growing up with pets has helped me develop empathy for creatures that cannot verbally communicate with us humans. I am currently racing on the cycling team at Colorado Mesa University as well as studying and walking dogs will fit perfectly into active time off the bike. I will make sure all the dog’s needs are met, whether it be water, finding a spot to go potty or keeping their paws off the hot pavement.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. Cats are my specialty, I absolutely love them and I swear they can sense it and love me too. I’m very good with dogs as well, I’ve never not had a dog in my home until now, so i’m hoping to get a doggy fix soon. I’m currently a stay at home mom with a 20 month old baby boy, he comes everywhere with me when his dads not home so the animal will have to be trusted to be around him, and I’ll trust the owner to know if that’s safe or not. My boy absolutely loves animals too and listens extremely well. I’m very good about following the instructions you provide. I love playing with animals and I can still provide them with whatever daily exercise and routine they might need with my boy right by my side 🫶
About: I have had pets of all sorts my entire life. My earliest memories are of helping my parents care for and train each litter of our Siberian husky puppies before they go to they're forever homes. I am currently a stay at home mom to my 3yr old son and 1yr old daughter. We just bought a 1200sqft house in OM with a privacy fenced yard and doggy door. You're pet will have the freedom to go in and out as they please . If I go anywhere between 8 am- 5pm Mon-Fri I have to take my kids with otherwise I'm free. You can also find pictures and videos on my Facebook page Victoria's Bark-tastic Doggy Daycare! I have a roughly 12 year old miniature schnauzer that wasn't the most sociable guy when I met him about 7 years ago. Since then I have been taking him out to new places and to meet other dogs. He has two Great Dane friends he plays with well. Mostly him bouncing off of them and having them chase him. He also likes to lay flat in the grass and wait for them to get close then pounce at them to get them to chase him. He couldn't care less about toys but loves a good quality treat. I can bring him along upon request! My kids absolutely love dogs and are always gentle and respectful. My son loves to throw toys for them and give them treats. He even makes our dog sit before giving him a treat. He also gets to play with the Danes! He loves going around and finding a good stick to give them to chew on. My daughter absolutely loves to give nice pets ( with supervision) and loves to watch them play. I have to bring them with me before 4pm. So if you're looking to provide your dog with some new social situations I'm your gal! I do have to ask that you request care atleast a few days before drop off that way we can do a meet and greet to make sure there will be no issues during your pets stay. I also live down a shared driveway please park somewhere on the street and i will meet you down there. I am up every day between 6-7 am to start the days chores before the sun gets to high. We've got a lawn, two flower beds and a veggies garden to care for. Afterwards I get the kiddos ready for school. Once they've been dropped off my senior dog and I go on our morning nieborhood walk through the park and back. We would love for your pup to join us! As a SAHM i have free time all the way up until 3:30 for school pick up. Each pup is an individual with thier own quirks. Therefore care is modified per each pets needs. For example I would take a 3 year old hound on a much longer sniffy walk than I would a 10 year old lab. Being in Colorado i also account for weather and can modify the days activities if outside is not an option.
About: I have been around pets my whole life. I understand wanting your pet to feel safe and happy while you're away. I appreciate written instructions and will follow them precisely! I am a college student so I can drop by in between classes as you need me to. I also own a little fur baby of my own and will love yours just as much. I will make sure they don't feel too anxious, clean up as needed, have plenty of food, cuddles, and affection while you're away from them.
“Stacy did an awesome job with my two heelers. She stopped by my house on the times that I asked her to, made sure my pups had enough water and food, and made sure they got their exercise. Stacy was a great communicator and gave me updates with pictures of my pups. I will definitely recommend her to others and will be using her services again in the future.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I most recently had two dogs, a chihuahua and rotty mix. One big and one small dog! I currently live in a tiny apartment, so I try to find ways to get my dog fix in. I regularly volunteer to walk dogs at local shelters here in Grand Junction. I have experience with small and large dogs of all age ranges. I’m punctual with my schedules and can be relied on to make timely visits or give medications/food. I’m also comfortable house sitting your home and keeping up on all your chores/needs while you are away! I work seasonally for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, so in my off season I have lots of extra time to take care of pups I have a gentle demeanor when meeting/walking new to me dogs. I can adjust my care to suit whatever needs your dog may have
About: I have been doing pet care since I was a teenager. Started off just for family, then friends, into a business. The clients who meet me are always comfortable with how open I am regarding the care needed. As someone who has pets herself, I know how important it is to have a trust worthy person caring for them. I treat your home and pets with the respect that’s deserved. We have so much fun that you’re home before your pets know it! I recently left my full time job to go back to college. Pet care has always been something I did on the side but now I’m looking to do this full time. I’d much rather feed horses and walk dogs than clock into a job on the computer. I genuinely enjoy spending my time with animals. I will only offer services at the clients home. I feel that pets are more comfortable when they can stay in the place they know. I’d rather stick to their routine than disrupt it at home with my own. I always ask clients for the routine, what treats they can have, if training is needed to be worked on, walks, etc. Otherwise, we are playing with toys and hanging out the entire time.
About: I’ve taken care of my pets since I was young, so about 12 years old. I’ve had dogs and cats, and currently have two cats and one dog, she’s a chocolate lab-pit mix that we rescued off the street. I’ve also pet-sitted for my friends and family whenever they needed and was able to take them on regular walks and check ins. I’m currently a college student so I’ll have plenty of time to take your pets on walks or just simply check in if needed! I live in a dorm, so I am unable to keep pets with me but I would be more than happy to swing by or stay if needed! At my home back in Arkansas, we had a fence with a natural backyard so our dogs were able to play outside whenever they wanted.
About: I have taken care of pups and pets my whole life. I have always had more than one pet in the house at all times. I have taken care of neighbors, friends, loved ones pets. From lizards to chinchillas and all the dogs in between! I can walk, hike, bathe, feed, and cuddle pets whenever needed. I am pretty active and like to get out with the dogs everyday, whether that's for a hike or walk around the block, they need leg stretchers just like I do! It is second nature to take care of a pet. Their needs are always satisfied before mine. Happy pet, happy life! I am a working professional hoping to keep up my mental health while helping the local community members with their busy lives as well! I am available to take your pup on the weekends and likely take them on my adventure to the mountains too and during the work week, I can take them on walks after work or make sure they get some loving for overnight stays. I have a fenced yard. I am always sure to check for anything pets can get into. I am always hyper aware of pets to make sure they don't themselves in trouble.
About: **I’ve got you with the photo/text updates ALWAYS** I’ve taken care of ALL types of animals (pets, exotic, farm, reptiles, birds) since I was a little kid! I partially grew up on a farm, and have lots of experience handling and caring for animals. I have no issues with breaking up animal conflict, administering medication, and am hardworking individual. I currently am the proud mother of one leopard gecko and cat! Please reach out for any pet needs! Let’s set it up! Let’s communicate! I am an athletic trainer at the university. My schedule can be a bit chaotic, so jobs that are requested at least 1-2 weeks in advance will work the best for us. I have a flexible day to day schedule, but would NOT be appropriate for families who need constant care/oversight. I would love to talk more about setting up dates/times that work for us and your pet!!!! When I am housesitting, I make sure to try and maintain as normal of a schedule, environment, and atmosphere as possible. I maintain respectful boundaries to the animal — as it is their house too!
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I love animals because they make me happy! What else makes me happy is helping other people out to take care of there fur babies :) I have experience of watching dogs and cats. I am very active and love spending time with animals I work full time! From 7:30am to 5:00 pm Monday-Thursday. I have Friday- Sunday off. For dog walking services I am only available for evenings after 6pm. I can do walk your dogs anytime during the weekend I no longer provide boarding at my apartment due to saving a house. I moved back in with my parents and they have lots of animals themselves. I moved back in with my folks till I can save a for a house. They have three cats and two dogs. For myself I have a corgi since I was 20 years old. I adopted a special needs kitten back in August!
About: I have cared for my own pets for decades. I have sat with dogs from puppies to seniors. I love to calm their nerves and give them tactile care. I am currently retired and this has been goal for years to spend these years caring for others loved ones (pet) so they can travel. I lost my beloved Willis in June and decided to care for others pets to bring some joy I will be caring for pets in their own environment and will follow the owners instructions as to their care and safety. Any special needs will be followed per the owners instructions. My Willis was blind and diabetic for the last five years of his life.
About: As an animal lover, I've grown up with cats, dogs, fish, and reptiles. I'm quiet and gentle with every pet I meet, and have an eye for detail and commitment to routine. I currently teach part-time at CMU on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1-6, and am available most mornings and evenings outside of that for any pet needs. I'm usually up around 6:30am for a walk, so early morning routines and dog walking are welcome. My 2 cats are spoiled but healthy and well behaved. They've got several bowls of water, and are fed 3 times a day, and have plenty of space to lounge, perch, and play - including a cat wheel for zoomies. I've got a crested gecko and 3 frogs as well, in bioactive terrariums with automated lights and misting systems for reliable humidity. In terms of treatment, I'm very gentle and want the best for every pet - a calm demeanor helps when trimming nails or giving meds, and playing with toys instead of hands builds safe habits. While I might be new to you and your pet's life, I'm great about maintaining routine and comfort so that I cause as minimal stress as possible.
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and grew up around them. I’m patient, caring, and attentive, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and will always treat your pet like family. I’m currently a part-time medical assistant, so I have plenty of extra time outside of school and work to give pets the attention, care, walks, playtime, and companionship they deserve. I’m flexible, dependable, and able to accommodate different schedules and needs. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment for every pet in my care. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine, personality, and needs to make sure they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or giving extra attention and affection, I treat every dog like my own. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to keeping pets happy and safe at all times.

“Kasse was so wonderful in taking care of Chani for the weekend. It was our first time dropping off our new dog for a couple of days with someone new, and immediately upon meeting Kasse we felt like we could fully trust her. Chani had so much fun playing with Jack and Zoey all weekend, and Kasse was always communicating with us and sending photos and updates. Thanks so much again, Kasse!”

I’m always a little nervous leaving her with someone new, but they put me at ease right away. They sent regular updates and photos throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. Desi was clearly well cared for and happy the entire time. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, responsible pet care, and I will definitely be using them again for future travel!”

We highly recommend Amber and won't hesitate to book her again next time!”

Ashley took pictures and sent me updates which I loved to see. I'll definitely reach out about having Raven stay again in the future. Thank you!”
“This is the second time I've booked with Lindsay. I tried to not take it personally when Luna nearly knocked me over getting out of the car and ran up to Lindsay's door. I guess she enjoyed staying there last time. :-) Linsday was great and very understanding when I had car issues and needed to change the pick up time. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Asylan was a lifesaver! My plans for boarding Irvin during a vacation over New Years fell through, and she immediately got back to me.

I am very pleased with this experience, and will definitely reach out to Asylan again for Irvin's care.”

“I am so grateful and pleased with the care my pups received from Katelyn!!! I had a last minute hunting trip that my dogs could not be a part of, and Katelyn answered me quickly, arranged boarding and my 2 dogs quickly became part of her little dog pack! Katelyn’s property is perfect for watching dogs, off the road, large grass flats in front and around her home, with a large fence in the back, all surrounded by grasslands and farms! A pup parent’s paradise! Katelyn sent me pics throughout the stay and her dogs meshed super well with my dogs! We are already discussing our next trip and will definitely be booking Katelyn again!”
