“Matt and Katy were very welcoming friendly and Benny took to them and their lab pup! Katy went out of her way to accommodate my mopey dog after we left! Benny did relax eventually and ate and enjoyed their pets and warmed up to them! We’re going to revisit them for future dog sitting stays!”
“Dean was great to work with and an excellent communicator. We got updates throughout the visit, including beautiful walk photos with the mountains in the back. Anytime we’re back in telluride with Robin we would love to have Dean watch her again!”
“We are so lucky to have found Stephanie to watch our dogs this past weekend! We rarely leave our girls with new people, however we instantly felt like we could trust Stephanie and were not disappointed. We loved the steady stream of updates and photos/videos and having AirTags on the girls made it fun to watch their adventures throughout their stay. The girls loved having a big yard as well as fit right in with Stephanie’s 2 dogs, and they were in high spirits when we picked them up. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you so much!”
“Abby and her family took very good care of Benny, a big Great Pyrenees! Benny can be a handful at times and they treated him like they would their own dogs!! Will definitely go back again! Thank you!!”
“Hayley took wonderful care of our dog, Otis, for two weeks while we were overseas. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We really appreciated the regular photo updates throughout his stay, they helped us feel connected and reassured that he was happy and well cared for. Hayley and her family truly welcomed Otis into their home and treated him like one of their own. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Hayley to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have a soft spot for animals and love to play!! I've had pets my entire life and can help yours have a more active lifestyle. I'm willing to take long hikes on the trails, short walks around town, play ball at your place or just spend quality time with senior pets. I'm known for my integrity and dependability. I understand pets are like children to most people and will treat them as such.Great local references. I live and work full time in Ouray. I work at the Ouray Hot Springs Pool Friday through Monday 6am to 4pm. I can house/pet sit 7 days a week. When staying in someone's home I follow the lists/guidelines exactly as the homeowner wishes. I don't plan other things while sitting. Watching/ entertaining and caring for your home and pet is my job around the clock. I can provide a long list of local references if desired.
“Bria is incredible! We hired her to help with a photoshoot (thanks again for helping us with an out of the box request!), and we are so thankful we did. It’s rare to get the chance to watch a sitter interact with your dog before trusting them, but Mia felt completely at ease with Bria from the moment they met. The constant wags said it all! Mia is a rescue and can be selective about the people she trusts, so seeing her instantly connect with Bria meant everything to us. Bria was calm, patient, and so kind with her. AND she knew exactly how to get her attention for the camera. I can’t recommend Bria highly enough. If you’re looking for someone in Telluride to care for your pup, look no further!”
“Anna did a great job watching our dog, Penny, for 3 nights! She was responsive and professional and keeps us updated with pictures and videos. Our dogs played together well it appeared and that helps owners relax when they know their dog is entertained as well as watched. Thanks Anna!”
“Alaina was great! She was able to help us out while we were visiting Telluride with a last minute booking. She took our dog with her everywhere. Kya had a chill day and made some friends and had a lovely walk around Mountain Village. Thanks Alaina!!”
“Molly took great care of my dog. They went on plenty of walks, hikes, and water trips. Very great communication and updates. Highly recommend using Molly to take great care of your dog while in Telluride!”
“Ava was great with Dixie and did an awesome job of staying in communication with me as she was watching her! She stepped up when I needed daycare last second which was super clutch. Would definitely book again :)”
About: Hi! Available for (much of) Santa Cruz and Cochise Counties, including Ft Huachuca. I grew up on a farm, worked at a vet clinic, and have always had animals and pets when my life permitted. I have a passion for our furry "family members" as well as learning all different types of animal behavior. Dogs, cats, horses, cows, donkeys, fish, and even took care of a camel a time or two. My professional and athletic life has taken me around the world, and frankly, caring for pets of family, friends and neighbors throughout the years has still always been a most gratifying highlight! I have the patience and energy to match dogs of all temperaments, so let me know how I can support you and your family! If my profile is visible, it means I have plenty of time to help out with your furry family members, be it pet-sitting, walking, or just checking in on them. I have a highly-flexible schedule and a vehicle large enough to crate/transport if needed. As far as housesitting, depending on the proximity, would be flexible on either daily check-in and/or possibly overnights. Please reach out in advance to discuss. I live on a large ranch but do prefer to keep them leashed when walking (until I know they heel well AND to keep YOU more confident). I'm flexible on this based on consults with you. They would sleep indoors, and if you prefer, I could easily crate as well. Non-smoking home. You can bet I'll treat them as my own!

“We enjoyed having Caleb look after our dogs! We set up dog sitting with him at our camper while we rode the Durango Train. Caleb set up a meeting the night before to meet the dogs and get information on what we needed from him. He was very friendly and made us feel comfortable leaving our fur babies in his care. He came by 2 times and walked them both times and fed them on the second visit. He communicated with us both times and sent pictures. We even needed the air conditioner turned on while he was there and he gladly took care of that. I would highly recommend Caleb for the care of your fur babies!”

“Hayley was wonderful watching Luna for 3 days! She was very reliable and sent helpful updates on her eating, playing, and outside time. The photo updates were great, and it made me laugh that Luna’s 'tortitude' didn’t fade until Hayley broke out the Churus! So grateful I found Hayley and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”

“Sierra took great care of our two indoor-only kitties. We got daily updates and adorable photos, and the cats were happy and relaxed upon our return home. We hope to have Sierra back to watch our girls next time we're away.”
“Thank goodness for Hillary! She has been such a help while our house has been under construction! Our dog, Cash, absolutely LOVES her and we appreciate it so much that she gives him so much love and attention while she's here! She is responsible, dependable, kind, caring, and professional. I would HIGHLY recommend Hillary to take care of your dog! I defiinitely trust her with my baby!”

“Dean was fantastic with our 11 month old Bernedoodle, Patti Mayonnaise! She’s quite the adventurous dog, but Dean gave her all the walks and love she needed. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and kept us connected with tons of photos and videos. He even saved the day by providing a harness and poop bags when we realized we had left ours behind. We highly appreciate his care and will definitely be reaching out to Dean every time we visit Telluride!”
“Lee was fantastic with our dogs. He greeted us in his driveway when we arrived, and made us instantly feel comfortable. I could tell he truly loves dogs and has a special connection with them. He kept us updated with texts and pictures with how much fun they were having. He took them on a walk and let them play in the river, which they love. They seemed so content and happy when I picked them up. I would highly recommend Lee, and would definitely leave my dogs with him again!”
“Anna was great. Our dog loved playing with her dog and Anna made sure our dog was entertained and well cared for. When we had to make a last minute change to our dog sitting schedule, Anna was very accommodating. We would use Anna again.”
“Stephanie goes above and beyond with you furry babies. She sent me photos and videos throughout the day of my GSP. She asked what his exercise routine was and made sure to make him tired for me. She took my GSP hiking and placed an air tag on him so I can track whenever! My GSP was exhausted getting back from daycare and that is not easy to do! Would definitely take him back to Stephanie! Thank you for taking such amazing care of my sweet boy !!”

About: Having had several dogs in my life and a dog training License I feel your animals would be at home with me as much as you I do not have a dog and I just enjoy dogs, attitude, company and motivation. They would allow me to care and earn some extra cash. They will be treated like a member of the family in your home. The parameters that you set up will be respected Either way, the animal will feel safe and at peace
“Haley took care of my 1yr old German Shorthaired Pointer so we could enjoy some time at the hot springs in Ouray. Anyone who knows the temperament of this breed knows it takes patience and energy to care for them. She was great I felt very comfortable leaving her with Haley and her family they gave our dog great care and a fun stay. Highly recommend!”

“Caleb is a great dog walker if you’re visiting Ouray with your fur baby and will have to leave them for the day. He took great care of my pup and my parents dog as well. Sent us pictures, an update and even spent extra time with them. We’re so glad he was able to see our girls while we were out and about! Thanks Caleb!”
