Personalized care for your dog or cat - Paonia

“Jess is the kindest dogsitter I’ve ever used through Rover. She’s flexible and can handle anything - I’ve dropped my three dogs off with her while she had others there to watch and handled them all with ease. Highly recommend and will definitely book again.”

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.

“Brenda is amazing. My dog Mr Darcy had a wonderful time and I was sent so many adorable pictures. Definitely where we will go first when we need boarding or doggie daycare!”

“Summer was very welcoming for our meet up and took very good care of Jack while I was away. I know this as he was not anxious when I picked him up (as he is with larger boarding facilities) and appropriately tired from playing with her dog Ollie and the other dogs. Loved all of the sweet pics she sent as well. I hope to have Jack with Summer a lot more in the future and already have a weekend with her planned.”

“Robert And Wendy were very nice and took great care of my cat, as well as kept me posted with pictures. Will be using them again in the future.”

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.

“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.”

“Andi was conscientious, caring and reliable in caring for our cat in our home. We definitely will be repeat customers.”

About: I have over a year of experience working at a dog daycare, caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I also have three dogs and two cats of my own, so I understand the love and responsibility that come with pet care. I'll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention, playtime, walks, and care they deserve. I always follow your pet's routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I'll provide plenty of love, playtime, walks, and updates while keeping your home clean and secure.

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.

“Absolutely wonderful experience with Rebekah! Pancake and Karate were also more than satisfied with their walk.”

Bryce P.

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 am a experienced animal care specialist with 15 years of being a Veterinary Technican. I have extensive knowledge of caring for animals large and small, livestock, and exotics. I am reliable and organized in everything I do and care for your pets just as I would for my own. I can provide transportation for veterinary appointments, groomers, or just go for daily walks. I am capable of caring for pets from newborns to seniors. I can administer medications, provide nail trims, livestock medical care, I can address minor wounds or mishaps and will of course contact you in the event of a bigger medical problem or contact your veterinarian. I am currently providing services to Ouray, Montrose, Delta, & Mesa County. I currently do not provide boarding but willing to house sit, drop-in multiple times, walking and exercising, or provide nanny like services for your pets. I currently do not have a boarding set up at my residence but I can provide a safe and reliable care giver for your pets and create a trusted friend for them to help minimize any separation anxiety or unnecessary stress and keep your beloved pet happy and healthy.
