“Jess is the best dogsitter I’ve ever had! We are repeat customers and drive over an hour to meet her as she is just the best! We have three dogs and she knows how to oh handle them and their different personalities. It’s amazing. She also was super flexible w last minute trip issues and I can’t thank her enough for that. She’s the only sitter I feel 💯 comfortable leaving my dogs with. Thank you, Jess!!!”
About: I have grown up with all kinds of pups…border collies, black mouth currs, aussies, heelers…I currently have a pitbull and a golden retriever myself who I love very much. I also have a cat who is my absolute world. I was taught pet responsibility at a very young age, and also showed steers in 4h, which I feel are just very large dogs. I currently work full time, but I do work from home Mondays, Wednesday and Thursday at my home in Delta. Tuesday’s and Fridays, I am in Montrose. The weekends are pretty open for me, but if at all possible, please contact in advance just in case I am busy! I like to give lots of attention to your pets as well as my own. Lots of playtime for my golden (my pit is an old lady, so she just likes to be lazy).

About: I’m a 6’4” 200lbs+ man so I’m great with all sizes of dogs including huge. I’m a jogger so if your dogs like to run also we’ll be a great match. I love all animals and I’ve had many pets over the years. I’ve had everything from hamsters to fish tanks. Cats, dogs, bunnies, snakes and even goats. I’m experienced with old dogs and puppies and am happy to walk or take care of either. I currently am working part time at my own discretion so I have an open schedule basically. It changes week to week but it’s flexible and I would be available any point in the day on week days and on weekends. I live in a very quit rural neighborhood with amazing beach and woods walks. I don’t have any pets personally at the moment and I don’t a fenced yard. I was originally thinking I would just walk dogs and do drop in visits but if you’re in a bind I can dog sit here. My aunt visits me regularly and she always brings her dog here. They both absolutely love here too. It’s safe and beautiful here but ideally I would rather not board dogs here.
“Brenda is the best! We have an anxious special needs kitty that needs injections and doesn’t trust most people, but he sure likes Brenda (maybe more than us)! We feel lucky to have such reliable help.”

“This was our first time using Rover, we were a little nervous but we are so happy with how it went. Aubrey is very sweet, fun and playful with our doggies! I have no doubt that they miss playing with her now that we’re back. She was also really great about communicating with me while she was with our dogs!”

About: I’ve taken care of a wide variety of animals for as long as I can remember. I’m an animal enthusiast that will adore your furbaby! I’m available for walks and check-in in the mornings everyday except Saturday and Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. I teach music lessons M,W,F evenings and Saturday mornings, so I’ll have plenty of time to help you with your pets! I will be sure to meet with you and check the best way to care for your animal. Long walks or frequent check-ins, I got you taken care of! Just let me know how I can help you and your furry friend!

“Jess's place is off the beaten path and a little hard to find, but it is surrounded by wide-open spaces, which Fred likes. Jess was enthusiastic about Corgies and her Corgi and Fred had a good time.”

“Brenda was awesome in taking care of our pup Teddy! We came to her with a last minute request after being unable to find any daycares or sitters available on short notice during a holiday weekend. Brenda’s responses were very quick and she was very flexible in accommodating Teddy, and sent us pictures and updates for his stay. We will totally come to Brenda again if we need to board Teddy while we are in the Glenwood Springs area!”

About: I’ve been taking care of my dogs for over 20 years and now in addition to the family cat and snakes. We are ready to host your dog for a fun visit. As a stay-at-home dad I’m around the majority of the day to keep a good eye on your loved ones. They will be well catered for and loved until you come back to get them! I have a big fenced backyard for them run around and play in. We have a friendly dog (& cat) to keep them extra company during their stay.

I have personally raised a puppy, & have lots of experience with a wide variety of dogs, including seniors, special needs & larger breeds. I know that above all else, exercise & human companionship are some of the most important elements to ensure a happy, healthy pup and I am happy to be able to provide that service! We live on a large fenced-in property (14 acres of mostly fields), so your pup will have plenty of room to roam & play! I offer daily walks/runs as well, whatever it takes to meet your dog's exercise needs. I love hosting multiple pups & providing daily updates with lots of pictures! I do have 2 sweet pups and a kiddo of my own, so getting along well with other dogs & children is a must. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies :) I currently have a completely open and flexible schedule as I am a former stay-at-home mom .. so working around your schedule and your animals' needs will not be an issue at all! As I have experience with a wide variety of dogs, safety is number one. I will always prioritize safety above all else to ensure that your animal is healthy & happy in my care!

About: I grew up on a ranch caring for horses, dogs, cats, and other animals. I have also worked with therapy animals. Years of experience with pets and other animals as well. I work from home via my laptop, so my schedule can be very flexible. I can build my online work around walks and dog/cat sitting as needed. I will provide companionship and play/exercise to check in on your fur-baby while you are away at work, or I am happy to dog/cat sit in home if you are away for longer trips. I will take care of all dietary/health and exercise needs and provide lots of fun and comfort while you are gone. I will treat your pet as I would my own.
“Brenda was terrific! Ollie went for walks and played with Brenda’s kids & her dog Violet. Ollie gets bored being home by himself and this was a perfect solution. Thank you, Brenda, for a wonderful experience!”

About: I've taken care of 4 dogs and 1 cat for their natural lives. Friends, relatives and neighbors ask me often to pet sit, as they know I am very loving and reliable. I'm retired and so I have the ability. to take care of dogs at anytime, and I love having animals around me. Dogs are amazing companions! I have a fenced yard, and love walking and playing with dogs. I will follow any rules the clients suggest. I can give medications as needed, and train dogs also.
About: My wife and I both pet sit for various different families in our surrounding area. We also have three fur babies of our own and are looking to expand our customer base. We are able to integrate our pet sitting into our everyday schedule. We are available through weekends and holidays with advance notice. Get in touch and we can surely make it work. We care for our pets with daily walks and playtime. We ensure that all their diet and medical needs are met daily. We also make ourselves available overnight if necessary. Anxious pets require more attention and we are open to more involved sittings.
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 - I have a regular vehicle (Subaru Outback) in addition to my ambulance camper. I also have a 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.
