“Renata and Tamera are such amazing people! I am so grateful to have had my (Kiwi, the schnauzer) fur baby with them. Their 2 fur babies are LOVES....and I know mine enjoyed having friends to play with. It worked out perfectly for us.

About: I choose sits for wonderful animals in beautiful homes to inspire my writing. Pristine care for both your home and your animals is #1. If you have an elder animal or a High needs critter, I do have an added fee per night. I work remotely as a somatic therapist and writer. I am able to be with your animals throughout the day and evening. Their routine will be maintained. I know how important routine is for our fur babies. I care for your pets in your lovely home. I’m a clean snob which means I’ll make sure your house stays clean! Your pets will have my love and attention I work remotely helping people as a therapist and writer.

About: Not only have I had many fur babies over the years, I have a very special place in my heart for them. Throughout the years, I have also cared for other people's fur babies. I currently work full time with set hours. I can easily accommodate to morning and evenings schedules, including weekends. There isn't much in a schedule I couldn't accommodate. I have a privacy fencedbyard with lots of room to run. It is a very safe area to have dogs in and close proximity to the library for walking.

“Melissa was wonderful caring for our puppy Ollie. Ollie settled in quickly at Melissa’s house and loved being with her! Melissa sent us pictures of Ollie and kept us informed of how Ollie was doing. You can tell that Melissa loves dogs and Ollie adored her too. We felt comfortable leaving Ollie with Melissa while we were on a trip. Would highly recommend Melissa! Thank you Melissa!!!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all ages and personalities—from gentle senior cats to rowdy, playful pups. My background in a pet store taught me animal behavior, nutrition, and how to make every pet feel safe and happy. I’m skilled at giving medications, handling high-energy pets, and offering extra TLC to seniors. With me, your furry friend will get expert care, plenty of love, and endless tail wags! Pet care is part of my everyday life—I share my home with three of my own furry companions, so love, playtime, and feeding schedules are already built into my routine. I’m used to early morning walks, regular grooming, cuddle breaks, and keeping a close eye on health and behavior. Caring for pets isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s simply part of who I am.🐾💕 I make safety my first priority, keeping pets happy and secure. I care for each pet as if they are my own. All animals deserve kindness, respect, and purrr-sonalized care.😌

About: I have had dogs since I was a kid and I couldn’t imagine life without them! I have helped family members, friends and neighbors care for their dogs over the years. I enjoy walking and playing with our dog and will include your sweet baby in our family walks and play! My backyard is safe and secure and has plenty of room for dogs to play and run! I have a doggie door and have found that dogs figure out how to use it with ease, if they don’t have one at their home. My grandchildren are here periodically and are also dog lovers! I’m currently working part time, 3 days per week, 4 hours per day. My dog and I walk about 3 miles, most days. The rest of the day is spent with her following me around and helping me with my chores, even help me go potty!!! I have a fully fenced yard with room to play. I currently have 1 dog, she’s a silver lab and is about 9 years old. She’s a good girl, most of the time! My dog gets dog treats on our walks and throughout the day. She currently eats twice per day, 6 am and 5:30 pm. We are able to adjust schedules for your dog, if necessary.

About: Our family had dogs since I was a young boy; I've had many since then. I've also trained them. We also had fish, hamsters, birds, reptiles and lizards as pets. Some 15 years ago, one of my dogs went blind... I cared for him for 10 yrs after that until he passed away. He never left my side. A few years ago, I got another dog but she died of cancer last year. At the moment, I don't have a dog (she died) but I have 5 cats. I do rather well with both and my cats are quite used to dogs. I used to live on a ranch where we raised Arabians; I was responsible for feeding & caring as many as 18 horses. When I was younger, I rode often and played polo. My father passed 10 yrs ago and his wife sold our ranch. I am available to feed horses provided that I'm paid the time it takes to travel back and forth. I am available for cat/dog sitting & feeding. If you need dog boarding, please let me know if you pet gets along with cats. I work from home, so I am a home quite a bit. I also have a flexible schedule, and this can be accomodated to work around certain issues or conflicts. Please contact me with any questions, concerns, or comments. I have a large (unfenced) yard, but I am willing to take your pet on walks in my neighborhood, as needed. I live one block away from a park. I am home quite often, so your pet will rarely be left alone. I am available for drop-ins, visits, or even overnights.

“Aime was great and kept my pup entertained! She kept me updated with pictures of what her and Easton were up to while I was away! Highly recommend her!”

Mary A.

“We are VERY happy with Jessica after she cared for our two elderly kitties for 5 days. We had not met her previously, but she was great and attentive during the meet & greet and did a fantastic job coming to the house twice a day and doing everything we asked. The cats were happy & well cared for when we returned. I highly recommend her!”

Benjie P.

“Very prompt and trustworthy. Sent me pictures and very nice report cards. Understands my cats personality! Would definately schedule him again!”

Linda D.

“Renata was awesome...I highly recommend.”

About: I don’t mind any size dog or breed. I’ve owned two Siberian huskies in my life. I also grew up around a chow chow and Rottweiler. I also don’t mind helping with basic training skills. I will provide active care if requested. I walk dogs but also do bike joring for the proper dogs! Hope to hear from you! Hi, I’m Baron. I work part time at a golf course and am excited to try rover. I’ve had multiple dogs throughout my life and have taken care of may friends and family dogs as well. I don’t mind if dogs as I’ve had two Siberians in my life! I will gladly take the dogs for a walk, or game of fetch. Whatever is requested. I love dogs and am also an active person! If the dog just like to relax that’s fine too!

“Miranda was absolutely amazing with my 3 cats! They took a liking to her instantly and I knew I was in good hands. She checked in daily and took care of them like they were her own. I would deff be booking with Miranda again!”

Karen K.

“With so much stress in the world it’s very refreshing to feel totally comfortable leaving my furry best friend with someone like Julia. My pup took to her immediately. Highly recommend Julia and I’ll look her up next time I’m in need of a dog sitter in Salida.”

About: Currently, only taking overnight guests (boarding in my home) on a case-by-case basis. Please ask. I have a rescue puppy who so far, gets along great with every dog she meets.

I will give lots of time, personalized attention, walks and love to your pet while you are away. I offer in-home pet sitting in my home in town, or in your home depending on your location. This personalized and individualized care compared to boarding or kenneling seems to be preferable for happy pets and owners.

My yard is fully fenced and conveniently located in the town of Westcliffe. If boarding, your pet would be allowed to treat our home like its own. If in your home (within a reasonable distance), scheduled visits will meet your specific requirements such as play time, short walks and feeding schedules.

About: Bailey Barker and i walk most every day in the forests next to wilderness mountain area safely with little or no vehicle interface. We have numerous 2 to 5 mile loops, with little or no vehicle interface possible. We live on our land now in a RV while building our home next to a huge green belt with a constantly running noisy stream that leads into the wilderness, i envision one many two long term dogs staying with us, while their owners are traveling internationally. In my life time i have trekked through 2000 miles of the Colorado Wilderness with the first Bailey Barker and my four pack goats...We walk 2 times a day on one of our many beautiful mountain trails, during the heat of the day I am building my house and the dogs are hanging out in the shade somewhere next to a beautiful cool, double entendre, stream... I have to care for my aloof special needs sub Standard Poodle, so i have some unused quality time to share with a paying customer my wonderful natural world... I am just finishing the fence around my beautiful property. This will give me the out side security with my fence and the containment my customer's best friends need for their safety, and my and theirs sanity, i have made to the 21 st Century...

About: I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, all kinds of babies. I have had them around since I can remember, with a lot of time spent taking care of family and neighbors pets. I run a metal shop part time so I am available mostly anytime as I create my own hours in my shop. Let me know what best for you and your pet and I can work with that. I can walk your animals and take care of their needs for times your away. I have about 30×30 fenced in area with a dog house for extended days or overnights if needed for dogs who will be accepting of new outdoor spaces. I can change bedding, litter, take care of basic needs for all critters. Thanks for reading hope to hear from you.

“Jamie was the perfect dog sitter for my 6 month old pup! So sweet, best sitter in Mammoth, and will be using again! My boyfriend and I wanted our pup to enjoy the outdoors while he and I went golfing, and Jamie was better than perfect. She picked my pup up and went on TWO hikes with him! She was sweet and sent fun photos and he was perfectly tuckered out when we got home. Thanks Jamie!”

“Renata was a great communicator. Walked my two, high energy dogs for an hour and saved my wrenched knee. They crashed when they got home.”

About: I have been working with all different types of dogs my whole life. Ive owened Great Danes to Chihuahuas. Recently have been walking and sitting dogs for friends. Dogs have an energy that you don't get from working with any other animal or human. I have found working with dogs makes it more fun to "work". I currently am unable to own my own dog, but am very excited to be able to help other owners out. I also enjoy getting outside and being active. If your dog likes to jog, I don't have a problem doing so. Fetch or the dog parks are also fun alternatives, if I know owners are ok with it. I’m currently working overnight shift (9:45pm-6:15am)Sat-Wed, but have plenty of time during the day to take care of your pets needs. I currently don’t have any pets, so I’d love to be able to dote on yours while you’re away. I prefer to sit in the home of the animal that is needing the care, as I feel that makes for an easier transition for the pet.

About: Years of owning different pets or being around them. Have raised puppies into good dogs. Watched my buddies aged and learned how to take care of them and not push them too hard. I pay attention to subtle changes in the dogs behavior and adjust what is needed to ensure their safety and comfort. The days I have available are because I work full-time Tuesday through Friday and I do not have a set clock out time as it varies day by day. My off/free days are flexible, and any scheduled time is devoted to your pup. When I get to watch your dog at your home, I will follow the rules you have laid out. My goal will be to maintain the safe and calm environment you as the owner have set for the dog, but playing and horsing around as able.
