“Lilly was amazing. She was quick to respond to messages. Sent plenty of photos, pictures and updates. She was willing to pickup and and was punctual with drop off. I highly recommend Lilly for dog sitting/boarding”
About: I have experience in all things dog walking, training, crate training, bath time, feeding time, medicine distribution, playtime, socializing, house training, dog birthday parties, and specialized attention. I prioritize dogs health and walkies so I always get up in the cold mornings, feed them on time, take good walks, and take them to the park for socialization. I base my schedule around letting them out and giving them enough playtime to reduce boredom. My house is clear of any hazards and all cleaning supplies are put away. Since it’s not my pet, we will not be going off leash on walks.
“Hadley was wonderful with my older pup. She sent photos of their walks together and noted my dogs quirky behaviors. I will definitely use her again if I come back into town.”
“Elisabeth is phenomenal! She watched our pups for 5 days and provided them with the best care. She was very aware of each dog’s needs/rules and was so attentive. We also had some logistical complexity during our time in Steamboat, and she was so easy to work with, super communicative, and very helpful!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends, neighbors, and people in the community for the past couple of years. I have stayed at other peoples houses, let other dogs stay at my place, and have also done just some dog walking in the afternoons. I also worked at Beaver Brook Pet Center two summers ago where I took care of all the dogs boarding there and took them outside everyday, so I have experience with all different kinds and sizes of dogs! I’m currently working part-time this summer typically on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays from 9-5, but I get an hour long lunch break at noon so I would be able to take the dogs out then if needed and would be able to take them out before and after work for a nice long walk! But I am very open on my weekends and at night for the summer! I love being outdoors, so if your dog likes long walks I would love to take them on hikes and long walks, and make sure they get enough outdoors time! I also make sure to feed the dogs at the same time everyday. I have experience and am comfortable giving any medications to your little ones if necessary as well! If your dog is friendly I also have a super sweet dog at home named Obi who can keep him company!
About: Having been a dog lover since childhood, I’ve always had dog sitting gigs for a side hustle. I also managed a professional boarding kennel for 5 years where I learned to care for pets of all sizes, personalities and needs. The great outdoors are my life, and I have grown into a passion hunting dogs, and have spent the last 4 years training my Labrador retriever. I have two dogs of my own, West, my four year old trusty hunting black Labrador, and Tilly a nine year old German Shepherd mix. I’m mostly available on weekends (Friday-Sunday), but depending on your dog’s daily needs, I can be flexible. I live in Oak Creek, but work in Steamboat Springs at a very dog friendly environment. I ensure your pet gets the basic care they need, plus extra love, photos, and time outside. I am flexible on whether you want me to stay in your home, or in mine, again depending on the specific pet’s needs and location.
“Suzanne and her family took fantastic care of our older golden. Suzanne sent regular updates and it was obvious our pup had a blast. I will definitely use Suzanne for again next time we have a Steamboat ski weekend.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve had all types of pets ranging from dogs and cats to horses and reptiles and have 15+ years of experience in pet sitting. I have extensive experience with horses and farm animals as well, through riding, competing, and training horses for most of my life. My 1.5-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog, Ruger, comes with me to any stays that I book. He is very well behaved and friendly with all animals. When I am not at your house (at work, errands, etc.), he goes back to stay at my house. If you have ANY questions at all about me or my services, feel free to reach out and I would love to get to know you and your furry friend! I work Monday – Thursday at the hospital and have short mid-day lunch breaks, but if you live within 5 minutes of the hospital, I can often make mid-day potty breaks work with my schedule. I work Monday - Thursday at the hospital and have short mid-day lunch breaks, but if you live within 5 minutes of the hospital, I can often make mid-day potty breaks work with my schedule. During my non-working hours and on my off days, I am able to spend as much time with your pets as possible. I am committed to making sure your pet is safe and well cared for in a setting that is familiar to them. If your pet has any special needs or requirements, I am happy to work with you to accommodate them.
“Sunny had the best time with Sarah! They went on fun adventures together and I got so many adorable pictures! I am so grateful for Sarah and would recommend her to all my fellow doggy parents! ♥️”
About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 13 years old and have previously owned a dog for over 16 years. I am excellent at training new dogs and am fully capable of taking care of their every need. I have experience with both large and small dogs and am confident handling either size. I adore both dogs and cats and will show the same love and attention to your pet as if it were my own. I have very flexible hours and can typically choose my own schedule, so I would be able to dedicate extra time and attention to caring for your pet and making sure all of their needs are met. I live in a pet friendly apartment with a balcony that is pet safe and have a yard as well as a park that is very close to where I live. Boarded dogs would typically go on walks 3 times a day unless preferred differently by owner and play time would happen regularly throughout the day.
About: I am an animal lover and will do anything in my power to ensure your furbaby is well-cared for and communication is clear and exceeds your expectations so you can ease your worries and take care of business or enjoy your vacation. I am available for drop in visits morning, throughout the day and at the end of the day. If your pet needs special attention let me know! If they are cat friendly they can stay at my place otherwise I can make arrangements to potentially stay at your place if your pet needs overnight care. My attention to detail and deep compassion will guide my care as I communicate with you to best understand needs, schedule and expectation of care. I love direct, clear communication that helps us make a plan and communicate any changes or challenges along the way.
About: Hi, I’m Juliette! 🐾 Animals have always been at the center of my life. I’ve worked at a veterinary clinic assisting vet techs, which gave me hands-on experience with pets of all temperaments and needs. On top of that, I’ve raised multiple dogs myself, so I know just how much love, care, and attention they require to feel safe and happy. I also have experience working with shy and reactive animals. With patience, kindness, and understanding, I make sure each pet feels comfortable at their own pace. Whether it’s going on a walk, enjoying playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll give your fur baby the same love and care I’d want for my own. Most importantly—I want your pet to have fun and feel loved while you’re away! ❤️ I have a very flexible schedule right now, I am willing to work around what times or days are needed for your animal! I usually need a few days notice— but also completely welcome same day requests. I live in a cozy condo with running room right outside my door. I promise to provide any kind of walks to your pooch that are needed! I also love hikes/being outdoors or am up for a lazy day inside depending on energy level.
About: I love taking care of all animals: dogs, cats, birds, etc As a steamboat local I have a deep love for our home, local wildlife, and furry family members. I’ve also been raised on a sustainability mindset, mindful of electricity, water, and waste as it impacts our community. I often care for the pets of local friends of many years but am keen to make new friends (furry or not!). I prioritize keeping them engaged through play time and exercise (spring creek is my favorite trail to take pups on) I pride myself on patience, especially the youngsters, and am always happy to keep up with training programs I’ve also seen several cats and dogs through the end of their lives, and emphasize the importance of their comfort, as they’re all kittens/puppies/young at heart and deserve the attention to keep them feeling that way. With my current transition through my marine biology career, I’ve got loads of free time and am able to prioritize the needs of any pets that are letting their owners enjoying well deserved holidays! I have my own car so I am able commute to take care of any that need and bring them on the best local adventures. I live out of town, giving a pup a chance to enjoy the freedom of country life, on or off leash. My own family dog, a border collie named Millie, loves new friends (she was the one comforting other pups during her time in shelter life) and is always happy to show them around the rural neighborhood. We have a closed garage and lockable doggy door for safety at night. And a comfortable living area with adjustable temperature for any pups sleeping crates. Though if they are partial to snuggling, pups are always welcome to night time cuddles.
About: I grew up with dogs and have been taking care of friends dogs ever since I can remember. In my community I am often the first person called when it comes down to finding a trustworthy pet sitter. In addition, I have spent the last 5 years working with/ and babysitting kids with severe cognitive and physical disabilities. As a full time student I spend a lot of my time doing school work but, like dogs, need to get out and run around. I get to spend my time outside, on walks, runs, and bikes in between classes and on the weekends. I live in an apartment with two other dog loving girls. I am more than happy to share my bed or floor with an interested pup. Although I don't have a yard, I live right across from a big soccer field and have access to the horse gulch trail system behind my apartment (which I frequently use). I am currently working as a plumber for my dad. I tend to have lots of leniency with work and can even bring a pup with me! My house is open to all cats and dogs and that includes the couch haha! I live outside of town in a house where dogs have lots of room to roam and even a pond! In my home the safety of all pets is very important :)
“Chad was so incredible to our dog. He really let her become part of the family. He gave her delicious food, let her sleep with the family in the bed, took her on plenty of walks, sent a ton of updates. She was in heat and he handled the diapers and her need for love so well. I felt so assured that she was having a really good time, and when we got back to her she wasn’t anxious at all. This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on Rover. I can’t recommend him enough. He was super flexible and accommodating and overall, a really good person who gave our girl so much love and comfort.”
About: I don’t just “watch” dogs I connect with them. Every pup I care for is treated like family, with personalized attention based on their unique personality, energy, and needs. Whether it's playing fetch until their tail can’t wag any faster, sticking to a strict medication schedule, or just being a calm presence for anxious dogs I show up with heart, patience, and intuition. I keep pet parents updated with honest, real time updates and photos, so they always feel confident and connected. My space (or theirs) is always safe, clean, and full of love. This isn’t just a side gig for me it’s what I genuinely love doing. I work just three days a week (Tuesday-Thursday) and I’m off every weekend, which means I’m fully available to give your dog the love, time, and attention they deserve when most people are scrambling for coverage. Need help during the week? No problem! I can absolutely care for your dog on weekdays too just know that I’m at work from 6 AM to 5 PM. If your pup is comfortable hanging out during the day (with all day access to food, water, and a safe space), I’m more than happy to help. I make sure they’re well cared for before and after work with walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. Whether it’s weekends, overnight stays, or occasional weekday help I’m here to make life easier for you and happier for your pup. When your dog stays with me, they’ll have their own private room to relax and feel completely at ease. They can snooze on a comfy queen sized bed or I can set up their own dog bed whatever makes them feel most at home. My own dogs sleeps in my bed, so your pup will have their own peaceful space to unwind and rest. Plus, we have a huge backyard that’s perfect for playtime, potty breaks, and getting out all that extra energy. Whether your pup loves to run, sniff, or just sunbathe, they’ll have plenty of safe space to enjoy the outdoors. Your dog isn’t just staying over they’re joining a calm, loving home designed with their comfort in mind

“I've used Mayra twice now. One time Ally stayed with her and this last time she came by the house a couple times while I was out of town. Best service I've had and will continue to use Mayra when she's available! ”
About: * I "meet" your cat at whatever personality they possess * If they like to be held, petted, and knead on shirts - great! * If they want to chase a laser or fish on a string for hours - we'll do it! * If they prefer some alone time and just want a clean box and nibbles - no problem!

“Allison watched our unconventional pet, a rabbit, for 10 days over the holidays and checked in with us daily on how things went. She did everything we asked and took great care of her and took the time to bond with our bunny. Alison is awesome and we highly recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting. We will certainly request her in the future. Rover is a professional service. We love it.”

I have a very friendly dog who will both want to play and snuggle:) Let us know what you need and we will take care of it!
“My cat, Luna, really liked Grace when she met her. Grace was great about sending photos and following all of my instructions. Luna was in good spirits when I got back home. She acted as though I had never left home. I highly recommend Grace.”
About: I have owned cats my entire life and adopted my first little one of my own 3 years ago. Additionally, I have helped integrate an additional kitten into my household 10 months ago. My cat care experience includes feeding, scooping litter, enrichment time, and administering medications orally. Let me help you feel at peace while you're gone knowing your furry idiot is in loving hands.
About: I have had cats my entire life and have always loved them. I currently have a 13 year old cat and a 2 year old dog, who both get along well with other cats. However, I also have a spare room in which we could separate your cat from my pets if needed, or my pets can stay with our upstairs neighbor if your cat if not comfortable with other animals. I am committed to approaching every cat with what they personally need whether that be cuddles or space, since cats are such funny unique personalities.

“Elisabeth is incredibly responsive and caring. I was so happy to hear about the great day Merlin had and felt so comfortable knowing he was well-taken care of and given lots of attention and exercise. Fantastic pet sitter!! One of the most professional people I have ever encountered on Rover.”
“Laura and her sweet family were fantastic with our pooch while we did non-dog activities in Steamboat! She was super considerate when she has an offer of another booking and asked great questions to ensure all of the dogs would get along together and that we were comfortable with the plan. Would highly suggest and use Laura and family again!”
“Suzanne was very attentive and affectionate towards our dog, a 6-yr-old Portuguese Water Dog who has lots of energy. He and her dog, Emmi, got along wonderfully and played with each other enough that ours came home fairly exhausted (that’s a good thing!). Suzanne lives in a very nice neighborhood with a nice house that has a lawn for doggies to play on without getting dirty (yea!). I recommend her highly as a dog sitter!”
“"I cannot recommend Mayra enough. She sent us photos and videos of our furry baby, which made our vacation so relaxing because we knew he was in great hands. Mayra was able to confirm our appointment within an hour of us needing someone to take care of our puppy. She was caring, and truly treated our dog like their own. Thank you for the amazing care!"”
“Liam did a fantastic job taking care of Bowie. I really like his calm, friendly demeanor which put my pup and me at ease. When I picked Bowie up I could tell he received a good amount of exercise, but wasn’t overstimulated or anxious. Liam was quick to respond to any questions I had and sent me a picture of Bowie during the day just to let me know he was doing well.”
“This worked out great! Juanita was available on short notice, and very responsive, and we were able to keep our pup sheltered from the extreme daytime heat while we were camping in Steamboat. Very grateful that we had this last minute solution.”

About: I have had dogs all my life. Right now I have a golden retriever back home in Wisconsin and I'm missing my dog time! I love going on runs and going hiking, so if that's what your dog needs I am here for them! I am a recent graduate from CU-boulder who is job searching so I currently have some time on my hands-would love to meet you and your dogs. I understand that dogs need attention and need walks and physical activity to be happy. I am willing to dog/ house sit whenever you need as long as it is a reasonable distance from where I live. I also play a lot of sports if your dog is anything like my dog I would love to play soccer and basketball with them!
About: Having been raised as a child with multiple pets - dogs, cats, and chickens - as well as occasionally caring for the pets of friends and family, I am passionate about and experienced in looking after animals of different kinds. I pride myself on going beyond the basic needs of animals and their humans to have fun and create positive memories. I am adventurous and love walking, running, playing fetch, and cuddling with pets. I am a quick learner and dedicated to doing things the right way, not the easy way. If I sound like the right fit for you and your animal's needs, please reach out. I'm excited to hear from you and spend time with your furry friends! I am a recent graduate from Middlebury College, starting a full-time job in the Fall of 2024. In the meantime, I am based in the Boston area and looking to spend as much time with animals as possible! Extremely flexible schedule at the moment When I accept the responsibility of caring for an animal, that becomes my number one priority. I will do everything I can to ensure a positive, non-disruptive experience for the animal. Not only will your animal's essential needs be met, but we will have fun while their humans are off having a good time too!
“Elena was fantastic! She was communicative, flexible with meeting up, and very trustworthy with our pups. It was so nice to have peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we visited the hot springs. Definitely recommend her if you’re visiting the Steamboat area.”
“Chad was fantastic! They were super attentive to my pup and stayed in touch with quick updates the whole time. The large fenced-in yard was a huge hit, and I really appreciated how flexible they were with my schedule. It’s such a relief finding a sitter this reliable—we’ll definitely be back!”

About: Lots of experience with dogs in particular. Always enjoy time with them and I think they enjoy time with me. And our 2 girls are very welcoming and eager to have new friends visit. I work from home so having another mouth or 2 around to feed and a friend or 2 more to play with is never an issue. Yard is not fenced but pets will never be left outside unattended. However, I have a large deck that is fully enclosed so weather permitting the pets are free to enjoy the outside as they wish.

“Cali was a happy camper and got so excited to see Lacey for second walk. Lacey is very personable and definitely comfortable around animals. I’ll definitely use Lacey again.”
About: * Been taking care of friends' loved ones for decades * Ample, daily play-time is provided * Live near Rita Valentine so short or long hikes very accessible * My rules are your rules - whatever is needed to make things seamless for you and your pet so they are comfortable while you are away * I work from home and have a very flexible schedule * I'm able to walk dogs very regularly on whatever schedule they normally have * I live up the street from Yampa Core Trail and right by Rita Valentine so ample options to get them out and exercising * 15-45 minutes hikes are very easy to accommodate * My husband is retired so he is also home. He is a SUCKER for an offered belly so often his choosing to work out or doing any work around the house is ignored in favor of rubbing bellies! * I'm in a very quiet and dog-friendly neighborhood. * I have a nice side-yard but it is not fenced in. Dogs are never let out on their own. * Dogs are allowed on furniture and to sleep in bed - I try to follow whatever is the "norm" for them * I have no problem taking dogs in my car to run errands (if they have separation issues) or to have variety at Spring Creek or other nearby walking areas. * For the senior loved ones: there is an enclosed flight of stairs to get into the house. Carrying pups up stairs is NOT an issue - I had an injured gal who was limping and I just picked her up to make it easier. (50-ish lbs)

About: I have experience with small mammals, cats and dogs. I have administered medications to both cats and dogs. I have worked with elderly dogs needing extra care. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I can do drop-ins any time of the day. I can even work from your home if it makes it easier! We currently have 2 middle aged dogs. They are dog friendly and pretty big couch potatoes. They do not use a crate but I can accommodate a crate if that is what your dog needs.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats always in the house, and I have experience caring for all kinds of pets; dogs, cats, rabbits, mice/rats, birds, etc. I also spent 5 years on active duty and will ensure your property stays safe and secure. My current day work allows me time throughout the day to be able to go let dogs out, feed and water, etc. I also have reliable transportation. I do not care for pets in my home, but I am more than happy to travel to you to help care for your loved ones!
About: Hi! We understand that leaving your precious dog with a stranger is a big decision. So we will do everything in our power to make them (and you!) as comfortable as possible. - Frequent updates. We love taking pictures of our fun activities and sharing them with you :) - We do not have children however we have a golden retriever, Nacho. - Meet and greets (when available). We often do a quick meet and greet so you and your pup can see meet Nacho and our place. Please note that it is not always possible, especially if we are boarding another dog. We kindly ask that you mention you would like a meet and greet before booking. - Near constant supervision. Evan works from home so there will almost always be someone with your dog. If your dog requires someone there 100% of the time, we will make sure our schedules are clear when we accept the boarding. Just let us know :) We love dogs of all shapes and sizes! We both have experience taking care of different breeds, temperaments, and ages of dogs. We have taken care of puppies, high energy dogs, and even elderly dogs. Our dog boarding journey started with Wag. We have over fifty - 5 star reviews and recently decided to expand to Rover. We have no problem going at the pace of our guest. We are super friendly and patient and will treat any pet as if it were our own! We will go above and beyond to make sure that our guests have a wonderful stay. We also provide a ton of toys and are equipped with basic dog necessities such as dog poop bags, and doggy bowls. Dogs are welcome on all furniture (except tables 😂). Michelle speaks Spanish if needed. Please note that we live on the third floor. We love senior dogs but if they are too big or don’t like to be carried and stairs are difficult, we may not be the best option. Evan is home on weekdays so there will be near constant supervision. We won’t take accept a boarding just to leave the pup at home alone all day. We usually start our day off with a morning walk around 8am or earlier if that is requested. We’ll do an afternoon walk which we might also tie in with a hike or a trip to an empty dog park and we end our day with a night walk before bed. There three walks are the minimum we do, we’re flexible to anything. On weekends we take our pups with us to dog friendly locations. We take into consideration if the pup is comfortable with other dogs and people before taking them out. Our schedule revolves heavily on our guests and we do everything we can so they feel comfortable in our home. Our apartment has a big couch which we allow the pups to use. We have a toy box filled with balls, stuffed animals, ropes, kongs, etc. It’s expected that toys get played with so we have constant supervision and discard any broken toy. We also are equipped with puppy pads if needed. We have dog bowls for food and water which we make sure are adequately filled.

I also worked at Beaver Brook Pet Center two summers ago where I took care of all the dogs boarding there and took them outside everyday, so I have experience with all different kinds and sizes of dogs! I’m currently working part-time this summer typically on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays from 9-5, but I get an hour long lunch break at noon so I would be able to take the dogs out then if needed and would be able to take them out before and after work for a nice long walk! But I am very open on my weekends and at night for the summer! I love being outdoors, so if your dog likes long walks I would love to take them on hikes and long walks, and make sure they get enough outdoors time! I also make sure to feed the dogs at the same time everyday. I have experience and am comfortable giving any medications to your little ones if necessary as well! If your dog is friendly I also have a super sweet dog at home named Obi who can keep him company!
About: I have experience in all things dog walking, training, crate training, bath time, feeding time, medicine distribution, playtime, socializing, house training, dog birthday parties, and specialized attention. I prioritize dogs health and walkies so I always get up in the cold mornings, feed them on time, take good walks, and take them to the park for socialization. I base my schedule around letting them out and giving them enough playtime to reduce boredom. My house is clear of any hazards and all cleaning supplies are put away. Since it’s not my pet, we will not be going off leash on walks.
About: I am an animal lover and will do anything in my power to ensure your furbaby is well-cared for and communication is clear and exceeds your expectations so you can ease your worries and take care of business or enjoy your vacation. I am available for drop in visits morning, throughout the day and at the end of the day. If your pet needs special attention let me know! If they are cat friendly they can stay at my place otherwise I can make arrangements to potentially stay at your place if your pet needs overnight care. My attention to detail and deep compassion will guide my care as I communicate with you to best understand needs, schedule and expectation of care. I love direct, clear communication that helps us make a plan and communicate any changes or challenges along the way.
About: Located in Steamboat Springs I’ve been caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes my whole life. I have 7 years of professional animal experience from dog and cat grooming to caring for exotic pets such as spiders and reptiles. I have a soft spot for senior pets and those with behavioral problems, but I love to care for pets of all shapes and sizes. I'm available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and am comfortable administering medications if your pet needs. I've cared for pets all my life and can promise to give your furry friends all the love while you're gone! I'm very flexible and can promise quick communication and scheduling!

I promise to watch your pups attentively and be sure to keep them occupied and take care of any needs they have from walking to medication!
“Ryan have my Brody boy a long walk during my 12 hour shift. I came home to a very tuckered out pup. Ryan is also very responsive and reliable. Will use his services again!”
“Bridget was wonderful! She came to meet us beforehand to get the scoop and meet our dogs in person. She took our dogs for long walks and sent photos with happy puppy smiles. She was super responsive and would absolutely use her again. Recommend to anyone needing someone to take care of their animals for a weekend! Thank you Bridget!!”
About: I’ve grown up around almost every type of animal and have even helped my dog deliver her babies! I absolutely treat my animals better than I treat myself and would without a doubt do the same for any other animal too! I have some downtime between jobs at the moment and would love to fill it with some more furry friends! When I am back to work, I can absolutely continue to make pet care work if it’s a good fit. Always make sure they’re fed, played with/walked, and above all loved! I have experience with rowdy puppies and have way too much patience with animals and will always make sure they’re comfortable and safe in any situation.
About: Your pet will be loved and taken on whatever kind of adventure you prefer. Walking, hiking, skiing, or river time! Then, snuggling in the evening. I am a teacher so have the whole summer off to play! During the school year, my husband has a flexible schedule so between the two of us, we can take care of whatever your pet needs! I have a very friendly dog who will both want to play and snuggle:) Let us know what you need and we will take care of it!
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and enjoy taking them on fun walks or energetic hikes to keep them healthy and happy! I am currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule to hang out with furry friends. I have a changing schedule that varies week to week, but I am happy to find a time that works for us both. I am committed to making you and your dogs comfortable and happy. Safety is my priority, and I focus on maintaining an enjoyable and positive environment for your pup.
About: I have been caring for pups since childhood and have a true passion for animals. Dog sitting was my first means of income as a child with my neighbors (and parents) allowing me to care for their dogs into my home while also growing up with a number of dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and rodents. My love for animals has only grown and for the first time in my life I have no pets of my own. For that reason, Rover is the perfect opportunity for me to spend time where my heart is and surround myself with what I love while also helping others. I have a great deal of experience training puppies as well as handling dogs with behavioral issues. Look forward to hearing from you! I am available to provide frequent care every day of the week. I work 4-6 hour shifts 3-4 days per week and love playing with pups the rest of my free time. Let me know your needs and I can work with you! As I am unable to care for pets in my home I will be happy to follow all rules and guidelines you have in place for the care of your home and pets!

“Hadley was wonderful with my older pup. She sent photos of their walks together and noted my dogs quirky behaviors. I will definitely use her again if I come back into town.”
“Elisabeth is phenomenal! She watched our pups for 5 days and provided them with the best care. She was very aware of each dog’s needs/rules and was so attentive. We also had some logistical complexity during our time in Steamboat, and she was so easy to work with, super communicative, and very helpful!”

About: Having been a dog lover since childhood, I’ve always had dog sitting gigs for a side hustle. I also managed a professional boarding kennel for 5 years where I learned to care for pets of all sizes, personalities and needs. The great outdoors are my life, and I have grown into a passion hunting dogs, and have spent the last 4 years training my Labrador retriever. I have two dogs of my own, West, my four year old trusty hunting black Labrador, and Tilly a nine year old German Shepherd mix. I’m mostly available on weekends (Friday-Sunday), but depending on your dog’s daily needs, I can be flexible. I live in Oak Creek, but work in Steamboat Springs at a very dog friendly environment. I ensure your pet gets the basic care they need, plus extra love, photos, and time outside. I am flexible on whether you want me to stay in your home, or in mine, again depending on the specific pet’s needs and location.
“Suzanne and her family took fantastic care of our older golden. Suzanne sent regular updates and it was obvious our pup had a blast. I will definitely use Suzanne for again next time we have a Steamboat ski weekend.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve had all types of pets ranging from dogs and cats to horses and reptiles and have 15+ years of experience in pet sitting. I have extensive experience with horses and farm animals as well, through riding, competing, and training horses for most of my life. My 1.5-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog, Ruger, comes with me to any stays that I book. He is very well behaved and friendly with all animals. When I am not at your house (at work, errands, etc.), he goes back to stay at my house. If you have ANY questions at all about me or my services, feel free to reach out and I would love to get to know you and your furry friend! I work Monday – Thursday at the hospital and have short mid-day lunch breaks, but if you live within 5 minutes of the hospital, I can often make mid-day potty breaks work with my schedule. I work Monday - Thursday at the hospital and have short mid-day lunch breaks, but if you live within 5 minutes of the hospital, I can often make mid-day potty breaks work with my schedule. During my non-working hours and on my off days, I am able to spend as much time with your pets as possible. I am committed to making sure your pet is safe and well cared for in a setting that is familiar to them. If your pet has any special needs or requirements, I am happy to work with you to accommodate them.
“Sunny had the best time with Sarah! They went on fun adventures together and I got so many adorable pictures! I am so grateful for Sarah and would recommend her to all my fellow doggy parents! ♥️”

About: Hi, I’m Juliette! 🐾 Animals have always been at the center of my life. I’ve worked at a veterinary clinic assisting vet techs, which gave me hands-on experience with pets of all temperaments and needs. On top of that, I’ve raised multiple dogs myself, so I know just how much love, care, and attention they require to feel safe and happy. I also have experience working with shy and reactive animals. With patience, kindness, and understanding, I make sure each pet feels comfortable at their own pace. Whether it’s going on a walk, enjoying playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll give your fur baby the same love and care I’d want for my own. Most importantly—I want your pet to have fun and feel loved while you’re away! ❤️ I have a very flexible schedule right now, I am willing to work around what times or days are needed for your animal! I usually need a few days notice— but also completely welcome same day requests. I live in a cozy condo with running room right outside my door. I promise to provide any kind of walks to your pooch that are needed! I also love hikes/being outdoors or am up for a lazy day inside depending on energy level.
About: I love taking care of all animals: dogs, cats, birds, etc As a steamboat local I have a deep love for our home, local wildlife, and furry family members. I’ve also been raised on a sustainability mindset, mindful of electricity, water, and waste as it impacts our community. I often care for the pets of local friends of many years but am keen to make new friends (furry or not!). I prioritize keeping them engaged through play time and exercise (spring creek is my favorite trail to take pups on) I pride myself on patience, especially the youngsters, and am always happy to keep up with training programs I’ve also seen several cats and dogs through the end of their lives, and emphasize the importance of their comfort, as they’re all kittens/puppies/young at heart and deserve the attention to keep them feeling that way. With my current transition through my marine biology career, I’ve got loads of free time and am able to prioritize the needs of any pets that are letting their owners enjoying well deserved holidays! I have my own car so I am able commute to take care of any that need and bring them on the best local adventures. I live out of town, giving a pup a chance to enjoy the freedom of country life, on or off leash. My own family dog, a border collie named Millie, loves new friends (she was the one comforting other pups during her time in shelter life) and is always happy to show them around the rural neighborhood. We have a closed garage and lockable doggy door for safety at night. And a comfortable living area with adjustable temperature for any pups sleeping crates. Though if they are partial to snuggling, pups are always welcome to night time cuddles.
About: I grew up with dogs and have been taking care of friends dogs ever since I can remember. In my community I am often the first person called when it comes down to finding a trustworthy pet sitter. In addition, I have spent the last 5 years working with/ and babysitting kids with severe cognitive and physical disabilities. As a full time student I spend a lot of my time doing school work but, like dogs, need to get out and run around. I get to spend my time outside, on walks, runs, and bikes in between classes and on the weekends. I live in an apartment with two other dog loving girls. I am more than happy to share my bed or floor with an interested pup. Although I don't have a yard, I live right across from a big soccer field and have access to the horse gulch trail system behind my apartment (which I frequently use). I am currently working as a plumber for my dad. I tend to have lots of leniency with work and can even bring a pup with me! My house is open to all cats and dogs and that includes the couch haha! I live outside of town in a house where dogs have lots of room to roam and even a pond! In my home the safety of all pets is very important :)
“Chad was so incredible to our dog. He really let her become part of the family. He gave her delicious food, let her sleep with the family in the bed, took her on plenty of walks, sent a ton of updates. She was in heat and he handled the diapers and her need for love so well. I felt so assured that she was having a really good time, and when we got back to her she wasn’t anxious at all. This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on Rover. I can’t recommend him enough. He was super flexible and accommodating and overall, a really good person who gave our girl so much love and comfort.”
About: I don’t just “watch” dogs I connect with them. Every pup I care for is treated like family, with personalized attention based on their unique personality, energy, and needs. Whether it's playing fetch until their tail can’t wag any faster, sticking to a strict medication schedule, or just being a calm presence for anxious dogs I show up with heart, patience, and intuition. I keep pet parents updated with honest, real time updates and photos, so they always feel confident and connected. My space (or theirs) is always safe, clean, and full of love. This isn’t just a side gig for me it’s what I genuinely love doing. I work just three days a week (Tuesday-Thursday) and I’m off every weekend, which means I’m fully available to give your dog the love, time, and attention they deserve when most people are scrambling for coverage. Need help during the week? No problem! I can absolutely care for your dog on weekdays too just know that I’m at work from 6 AM to 5 PM. If your pup is comfortable hanging out during the day (with all day access to food, water, and a safe space), I’m more than happy to help. I make sure they’re well cared for before and after work with walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. Whether it’s weekends, overnight stays, or occasional weekday help I’m here to make life easier for you and happier for your pup. When your dog stays with me, they’ll have their own private room to relax and feel completely at ease. They can snooze on a comfy queen sized bed or I can set up their own dog bed whatever makes them feel most at home. My own dogs sleeps in my bed, so your pup will have their own peaceful space to unwind and rest. Plus, we have a huge backyard that’s perfect for playtime, potty breaks, and getting out all that extra energy. Whether your pup loves to run, sniff, or just sunbathe, they’ll have plenty of safe space to enjoy the outdoors. Your dog isn’t just staying over they’re joining a calm, loving home designed with their comfort in mind
