About: Looking for a stress-free alternative to a traditional kennel? With a background in veterinary medicine, I offer personalized boarding on our quiet, rural property in Delta County. I accept only 1-2 dogs (from one family) at a time, ensuring plenty of individual attention, supervised outdoor time in our large, shaded, grassy kennel, and a calm, home-like environment. Daily photo updates are included, and I am experienced with administering medications, caring for senior dogs, and other special care needs. I offer a complimentary meet-and-greet before your dog's first stay. For everyone's safety and comfort, guest dogs must be non-reactive and friendly with children and other dogs. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m on-site the majority of the day and provide attentive, reliable care for your dog. I offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times and am happy to create a personalized care plan to meet your pet’s individual needs and routine. I provide a large, fenced run with access to water and shade as well as a comfortable and secure indoor space. My own dog prefers to spend a majority of nice weather days outdoors but will come inside when the weather is inclement, when its too hot, and, of course, overnight. Leashed walks throughout our 90 acre farm are available as well.

“We love our dog Kubo so much it is really tough to leave him! Kate allowed us to to feel so at peace knowing he was in good hands both last year and this year for the Telluride bluegrass festival, Kubo had the time of his life and didn’t want to leave! She sent us photo updates and check-ins and definitely going to hit up Kate again next year! Thank you Kate!! ~Katie (Rowan’s girlfriend :)”

“Micaela was amazing with my 16 year old beagle. She was so patient with him and able to take care of his special needs. She even gave him a heating pad under his bed to help with his old dog aches and pains. He was with her for ten days and was so well loved and taken care of. I can’t recommend her enough.”

About: I grew up loving animals! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages 🐾 I have had friends, family, neighbors and new people in my life trust and rely on me to take care of their fur babies while they’re away. My main goal is to let the animals (and their family) know they are loved and taken care of! I do have a beautiful daughter! I want to make sure you’re aware that if I do any over night stay’s with your fur babies, my daughter will need to join us. She is very gentle and loves animals! Her first word was “cat!” I can be available whenever you need me! My schedule is extremely flexible and I’d be more than happy to do whatever I need to do to take care of your fur family! Let me know what your animals are most comfortable with and I will do everything I can to make them happy and loved! I can bathe them, take them for walks, play with them with their favorite toys, give them their favorite treats and make sure they have their daily essentials!

“Brianna was wonderful with our cat, gave her lots of attention and made sure to keep us up to date. She was also kind enough to bring in some packages and water our Xmas tree!”

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.

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for cats, I have understand their unique personalities, needs, and behaviors. I’m experienced in providing loving, attentive care, including feeding, playtime, companionship, litter box care, and maintaining their normal routines. I understand that every cat is different, and I take the time to build trust and create a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe and cared for.

“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.”

About: I have had and loved cats my entire life. Never a day without a cat companion by my side. I am skilled at getting timid cats to warm up to me and am an expert pill hider in treats. I have taken care of many families cats while they are away. This job gives me an opportunity to meet many cats in the community and give you peace of mind that they are in good hands.

“Angela was everything you could ever want from a pet sitter and will be my first choice going forward. Leaving your pets with someone you do not know can be nerve racking but Angela made the whole process extremely easy. She was great at communicating, provided daily updates with pictures, and was a pleasure to deal with from our initial visit to the end of the pet sitting. She looked after both my cats for over a week and I would not hesitate to book her for even longer periods. Highly recommended!”

“Cora was great!”

Neda E.

“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!”

Karen T.

“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.”

Leslie K.

“I think Sloane had a great time. They were all so sweet and were flexible with drop off/pick up.”

About: Hi, I'm Brianna! I've owned and taken care of dogs (large and small), cats & other small domestic animals for as long as I can remember. I've always loved and connected with animals & felt drawn to caring for them. My goal is to ensure your animals are happy and healthy, as I treat them all as my own, & that you will also have the peace of mind that they are in good hands. 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! I also have lots of experience hosting multiple dogs of varying ages, energy levels & personalities, so I am very aware of all the doggie dynamics to ensure a positive, fun experience for all :)

“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 am based in Carbondale, CO. I am currently pet/house sitting full time throughout the summer and fall 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.

“She did great my dog loved it there and she takes the dogs on a hike and they run and play and have so much fun. Definitely will be reaching out to her again on my next travel!”
