“Repeat customer! We love Joan...she pays such excellent attention to Sawyer and gives him care that goes above and beyond what you would ever expect! Three walks daily around the beautiful Fort Collins area...treats, playmates and pure spoiling! You can tell that Joan loves what she does - an excellent communicator...sends updates, photos and videos daily. We cannot thank her enough for the great care of Sawyer during his stays - she is the best!”
“This is the second time we have used Marina to care for our German Shepherd, Skye. Our experience with Marina has been nothing short of fantastic! We received updates (with photos) throughout Skye’s stay and were so at ease knowing that she was being so well cared for. I highly recommend Marina!”
“Great and quick communication! Very trustworthy! You can tell they have a real passion for animals. I felt very comfortable leaving Ajax with Jana and Colten a second time. Always my first choice for any boarding needs!”
“Karen was amazing and our dog just loved her! We had some time to kill before a wedding and were able to pick him up and take him for a hike. When we went back to drop him back off after our hike, our dog was genuinely happy to see her, it was great. If I could rate more than 5 stars I would. Super cool and great experience.”
“John is an excellent dog sitter. Super communicative and he was so kind and caring with my dog. He was very diligent about getting my dog out for his walks and sent tons of pictures as well. Highly recommend and I will definitely be using John as a sitter again in the future.”
About: Hello! I’ve been caring for my own and other people’s dogs for 25 years...a wide range of sizes and personalities. I’ve particularly been around Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Labs, Great Danes, Goldens, Aussie Shepherds, Havanese, Dachshunds, Huskies, Chihuahuas, Doodles of all kinds, and of course many wonderful mixes. I have had dog parties/sleepovers/boarded at my home and for others in their homes. I’m super happy to cater to your pup’s unique preferences...I can make special foods, pop pills down expertly, change diapers, hang out at the dog park, play fetch, hit the trails, whatever your best friend likes best. Making their day makes my day too! I’m currently working seasonally doing gardening, and am very flexible with my routine. Being around dogs and making them happy is something that brings me me a lot of joy! I will follow whatever normal rules established in your home, or bring them home with me to share space with my two small and friendly dogs.
“Sue did not shy away from watching our young puppy for 10 days. She sent us updates, worked to help her socialize, and dealt with puppy potty training accidents. We are very grateful for the care she provided!”
“Everything about Koda’s stay with Corinne was perfect. She accommodated us stopping by a couple times to pick up Koda for hikes (since dogs weren’t allowed at our condo). She even offered to pick him up once to let us avoid the construction traffic back to her house. She did a great job feeding Koda his antibiotics and eye drops too. Corinne was very capable with our independent Great Pyrenees and he clearly loved staying with Corinne and her son. We will not hesitate to book with her out again if/when we are ever back in the area with Koda and can’t have him stay with us. Thank you so much Corinne!!!”
“Elizabeth was super responsive, friendly and reliable. She was great with our dogs and was such a savior when our flight got canceled and helped us watching our dogs on a short notice! Would definitely recommend her and work with her in the future!”
About: Hey, I'm Jason! Dogs have always been part of my life, and right now Peanut and I are holding down a home that's basically a dog's dream: a fenced yard, a quiet street, and the river and bike path just steps away for long walks and sniff-filled adventures. I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, and doggy day care — with a flexible schedule, so I'm usually available whenever you need me. Here's what your pet can count on: Meals and meds on time, every time Real exercise — yard time plus trail walks by the river Photo/video updates so you always know they're doing great A calm, patient touch, especially for shy or nervous pups Your home and your pet treated with total respect I'd love to meet you both — reach out anytime! Services offered: Boarding, House Sitting, Drop-In Visits, Dog Walking, Doggy Day Care I'm home most of the day, every day, so pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than being squeezed in. When I'm not home, it's usually because I'm out on an adventure somewhere in the county — and dogs in my care are always welcome to tag along on those outings if they're up for it. This flexibility means consistent feeding times, regular walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Since I'm home most of the day, pets in my care get consistent supervision rather than long stretches alone. At my place, there's a fully fenced yard for secure off-leash time, plus the river and bike path right outside for walks and adventures — and if I'm heading out into the county for the day, well-suited dogs are welcome to come along for the ride. In a client's home, I follow their routine closely, keep doors and gates secure, and treat the space with the same care I'd want for my own.
“Tania and her daughter took great care of Bandit for a full week. We received frequent notes and pictures. He had a lot of walks. He loved playing with their dogs and was treated like part of the family.”
“Tracy has been amazing, I don't know what I would do without her! She has taking the absolute best care of Bell, she has been always responsive and always kept me updated. Tracy has made my out of town trips not as bad my making sure I know Bell is doing well and sending lots of pictures. I would highly recommend Tracy!”
“Jenna took such good care of my dog, taking him on a great hike for the day I needed her to watch him (even with a short notice of needing her sitting help) Very happy and would recommend!”
“Jennifer and her girls were great! They took care of our very-active Border Collie for a long weekend and he was tired out and happy when we picked him up. They even took him camping with them and sent us videos! We will definitely use her service again.”

“Mackenzie just finished looking after our cat Mister for 13 days, she is kind and I know Mister enjoyed the time spent with her. she sent a lot of photos and texts which we greatly appreciated. She also took care of our house. If you need pet care I would highly recommend Mackenzie to take great care of your pets, she is awesome and I can tell she really loves animals. Thank you Mackenzie. Jeanette Edmonson”
“Our cats who are usually skittish around new people came right up to greet Madison, so you know she's got a special touch with animals. Did everything perfectly, would recommend again :)”
“Clare is great. Punctual, friendly, professional and clearly cares about pets. She has a friendly demeanor and our two dogs immediately liked her. We look forward to seeing Clare again soon.”
“Marissa saved the day. With work commitments & a pup with upset stomach, she dropped-in twice in one day. And despite our efforts, Beacon had accidents, which she kindly cleaned up. No one likes being sick, Marissa shared empathy and is now on Beacon's "keeper list."”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and have experience watching neighbors’ and friends’ pets. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’m used to regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets attention throughout the day. With my active lifestyle, I enjoy spending time outside and making sure dogs get plenty of exercise and care. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for by sticking to their normal routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions carefully while keeping the space clean and respectful. I give pets lots of attention, exercise, and companionship so they feel relaxed while their owners are away.
About: I love dogs! After losing two of my own pups, I’m not ready to be a full dog mom again, however I’d love to care for yours while you’re away. While you’re away you can leave your dog with me and I can guarantee the highest level of certainty and peace of mind. I’ll care for your dog like they are my own. I’ve watched small, medium, large dogs. Dogs that are low maintenance and dogs that need higher levels of attention. If my profile is active it is because I’m either available to watch your dog on weekends or I have extra availability. I can be flexible to your dogs schedule and needs. Currently I am not hosting dogs at my house. Only available for dog walks and house sitting. Again I can adapt to your dogs needs.
About: I’ve taken care of more than just my pets for the past 10 years! My neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their dogs and cats for years. I have walked, washed, fed, and kept loads of furry friends company. I have experience with senior dogs and cats as well as puppies. I have also volunteered with the SPCA for two years, walking and caring for some wonderful shelter pets. I work a 9-5 with off days on Mondays and Tuesdays. I am happy to get up early and come by late to meet pet needs Making sure dogs have the right amount of exercise, play, and outdoor time is so important to their health, so spending quality time with pets is a priority.
“Sarah did a great job checking in on my silly black cats while I was out of town. Even managed to lure them out of their scaredy-cat shells for attention and some brushing. Which is amazing. 10/10 would use again.”
About: I love spending time with animals, whether that's an energetic dog looking for adventure or a cat who just wants some good company. I'll treat your home with care and respect while I'm caring for your pet. I bring 35 years of hands-on experience with my own cats, dogs, and horses, so I know how animals think and what makes them feel safe and happy. I grew up with dogs and have had 3 of my own as an adult. I have had 3 kitties of my own and have helped care for many others. For dogs, expect my full attention: walks, playtime, and if your pup has energy to spare, I love taking adventurous dogs out for hikes or even a trail run. For cats, I'm just as happy to slow down — feeding, litter box care, and plenty of quality time so they never feel alone while you're away. Cats have my heart just as much as dogs do! If you want someone active, experienced, and genuinely excited to spend time with your pet, I'd love to help! Dogs and cats are a huge part of my everyday life! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so hanging with the kitty or walking the dogs a couple of times a day is a natural (and favorite) part of my routine. Whenever I'm in your home, I treat your pets like my own — lots of hugs, affection, and real one-on-one attention, not just a quick in-and-out visit. For dogs, that means walks or hikes to help them burn off energy, followed by some relaxed downtime. For cats, it's feeding, litter box care, and plenty of cuddle time or play so they feel just as loved and cared for.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a horse farm in Virginia, surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and I have experience with dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies who need patience and training to senior dogs who deserve extra care and attention. I treat every pet like they're my own and always strive to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be home throughout the day. That means your dog will get plenty of attention, and companionship instead of being left alone for long periods. Whether it's a walk or an overnight stay, I'll keep your dog safe, active, and happy. I'll provide walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and lots of attention so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: Hi! I’m Kiyah 🐱🤍 I’ve lived in the Vail Valley for 8+ years and absolutely love spending time with animals. I’ve always had a soft spot for cats and genuinely enjoy getting to know their different personalities — whether they’re cuddly and social or a little more independent. I have lots of experience pet sitting and house sitting, primarily for homeowners in Beaver Creek, Vail, and Bachelor Gulch. I’m very comfortable staying in clients’ homes while they’re away and making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I’m happy to spend extra time playing, giving pets lots of attention and cuddles, keeping up with their normal feeding routine, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications when needed, or simply keeping them company. I know leaving your cat while you’re away can be stressful, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re getting plenty of love and attention. I’m responsible, clean, trustworthy, and communicative, and I’ll treat your home and your pets like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your kitty! 🐾🤍

He couldn’t wait to get to her house the second day. We’re grateful to have had such a great experience and know he was in good hands while we were away.”
“Amanda was so incredible! I was in town for a wedding and last minute needed to find a sitter for my fur baby. Amanda was incredibly flexible and accommodating. She put a lot of care and love into the service. When we brought my dog back the next day he almost jumped out of the car with excitement. If you need a sitter you should absolutely hire Amanda!”
“Kyle was amazing! Henry was very nervous at first (he has terrible separation anxiety) but Kyle took the time to work with him and calm him down. He was very communicative throughout. Giving me updates to help reduce my anxiety and was flexible allowing me to stay a little later at my concert. Highly recommend!”
About: I provide thoughtful, intuitive care for dogs of all personalities—whether they need outdoor adventure, calm companionship, or a little extra patience and understanding. Hi, I’m Cori — a professional, intuitive pet sitter recently relocated to Colorado from Chicago. In Chicago, I spent years deeply involved in dog rescue, rehabilitation, and fostering, along with providing boarding, daycare, house sitting, and in-home care. This hands-on experience gave me a strong foundation working with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and special needs—including anxious, reactive, and recovering pups who require extra patience and understanding. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely connect with. I have a natural ability to read behavior, build trust, and help pets feel safe and at ease in any environment. I offer a full range of services including dog walking, drop-in visits, daycare, boarding, and house sitting. Each visit is tailored to your pet’s unique needs and may include feeding, structured walks, playtime, enrichment, medication (if needed), and plenty of attention and care. Whether your dog prefers slow mornings and quiet companionship or thrives on outdoor adventures and long mountain walks, I meet them exactly where they are. Living in Colorado, I love providing active dogs with enriching exercise, while also maintaining a calm, grounded presence for those who need a gentler pace. As an added bonus, I also have extensive experience caring for small animals, including birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, and fish. I also hold a degree in horticulture, so I’m more than happy to care for houseplants while you’re away—keeping everything in your home healthy and thriving. Pet care is currently my full-time focus, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate consistent, quality time and attention to each pet I care for. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of your routines, and I always provide regular updates with photos so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind. Your pets (and plants!) will be cared for with the same level of attention, safety, and genuine affection I would give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and becoming someone you can consistently count on. I’m a full-time pet care provider, so spending quality time with your pets is my top priority. I’m available 7 days a week for walks, daycare, boarding, house sitting, or drop-in visits.

Because pet care is my full-time focus, your pets get dedicated attention, consistent care, and plenty of love every day. Regular updates and photos are included so you feel connected while you’re away. MY HOME: Your dog will be staying in a comfortable two-bedroom condo in Copper Mountain, where their safety, routine, and overall well-being are my top priorities. I aim to make your dog’s experience feel as close to home as possible. I consistently reinforce your preferred rules and routines—whether that means furniture privileges, feeding schedules, or specific boundaries—so your pup has a seamless and stress-free stay. Dogs are welcome on the sofa if that’s something you allow, and I always create a calm, respectful environment tailored to their needs and personality. Daily care includes multiple walks, enrichment, and plenty of attention. For more active dogs, I’m happy to incorporate longer walks or hikes in the surrounding area. For lower-energy or senior dogs, I provide a slower, more relaxed pace with lots of comfort and companionship. I use positive reinforcement techniques to support good behavior and build trust, as I’ve found this to be the most effective and compassionate approach—especially for dogs adjusting to a new environment. Above all, I work closely with you to follow your dog’s usual schedule and preferences, ensuring a happy, balanced, and personalized experience for everyone involved. YOUR HOME: When caring for your pets in your home, their safety, routine, and comfort are my top priorities.

“We booked this sitter last minute for a short, few-hour stay while we were in Breckenridge, and he was very quick to respond and easy to coordinate with. He also took our dog for a walk during the stay, which we really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and it was a very convenient and stress-free experience for a same-day booking. We’d definitely book with him again when we’re in the area.”

“Absolutely fantastic! She took amazing care of our dog while he was recovering from surgery, managed his cone with care, gave his medication, and made sure he was comfortable every step of the way. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“You we awesome! You got Kya out and she has NEVER done that with a stranger before! We will for sure be using Alex in the future and I would highly recommend him to all my fur baby humans out there!”
“We LOVE Jack!! And our dog does too!! He’s a complete natural with our beloved pooch and knows how to give him the best day with great hikes and lots of playtime. He’s like the Dog Whisperer and we trust him immensely.”
“Melissa was fantastic! She was great with all the communication and how the dogs did during their walk including pictures. My two senior dogs are pretty needy, as one is not people friendly (rescue) and the other is not dog friendly. So they are quite the pair. Both dogs enjoyed their walk with Melissa and I will be booking her again. Highly recommend!”
“Do not look any further. Stop. Hire Karen, now. We were in the Vail area for a week over Thanksgiving and Karen watched our two labs for 5 days and we could not be any happier!!! She was amazing. Our dogs were taken on multiple walks, hikes, and outings per day. They went sledding and shared videos of our puppy pulling the sled. We got multiple pictures, texts, and videos during the day to keep us posted and they were always walking, playing, or snuggly WITH Karen on the couch and good Lord it was cute!! She is an all-star and you couldn't ask for a better fur baby sitter. My kids wanted to give her five bajillioon stars, but it wasn't an option. She's the best!”
“Nikohl, was amazing and accommodating. Unfortunately, we had to last minute change our scheduled walk because of me and she was willing to change. She was so good with Luna, will definitely re-book in the future.”
“Mackenzie was outstanding as she was on time, provided great updates and pictures for each walk. If we come back to Avon again, I’ll be making sure to book her ahead of time. She took great care of our special needs dog who is in doggie wheels and was very understanding of our dogs limitations. We sure do appreciate you Mackenzie! 🐾🐾❤️”

I have a full time job from 4:00pm - 10:00pm Thursday - Monday. Therefore, I have a lot free time during the day before my shifts. However, with off-season approaching in the Valley, I expect to have much more time available. My typical day at the moment consists of a walk, hike, or some other form of exercise, and I would have no issue adding a dog to the mix. I am also available for house visits or at-home stays for any animal. :) I enjoy being active and alert, and animals always have my full attention whether they are my own or belong to someone else. I maintain cleanly living environments and pay attention to potentially poisonous foods or plants that could harm an animal. I have more extensive experience from bigger size dogs (>60 lbs,) so I am more than comfortable taking care of them and holding on a leash.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a horse farm in Virginia, surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and I have experience with dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies who need patience and training to senior dogs who deserve extra care and attention. I treat every pet like they're my own and always strive to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be home throughout the day. That means your dog will get plenty of attention, and companionship instead of being left alone for long periods. Whether it's a walk or an overnight stay, I'll keep your dog safe, active, and happy. I'll provide walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and lots of attention so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Repeat customer! We love Joan...she pays such excellent attention to Sawyer and gives him care that goes above and beyond what you would ever expect! Three walks daily around the beautiful Fort Collins area...treats, playmates and pure spoiling! You can tell that Joan loves what she does - an excellent communicator...sends updates, photos and videos daily. We cannot thank her enough for the great care of Sawyer during his stays - she is the best!”
“This is the second time we have used Marina to care for our German Shepherd, Skye. Our experience with Marina has been nothing short of fantastic! We received updates (with photos) throughout Skye’s stay and were so at ease knowing that she was being so well cared for. I highly recommend Marina!”
“Great and quick communication! Very trustworthy! You can tell they have a real passion for animals. I felt very comfortable leaving Ajax with Jana and Colten a second time. Always my first choice for any boarding needs!”
“Karen was amazing and our dog just loved her! We had some time to kill before a wedding and were able to pick him up and take him for a hike. When we went back to drop him back off after our hike, our dog was genuinely happy to see her, it was great. If I could rate more than 5 stars I would. Super cool and great experience.”
“John is an excellent dog sitter. Super communicative and he was so kind and caring with my dog. He was very diligent about getting my dog out for his walks and sent tons of pictures as well. Highly recommend and I will definitely be using John as a sitter again in the future.”
About: Hello! I’ve been caring for my own and other people’s dogs for 25 years...a wide range of sizes and personalities. I’ve particularly been around Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Labs, Great Danes, Goldens, Aussie Shepherds, Havanese, Dachshunds, Huskies, Chihuahuas, Doodles of all kinds, and of course many wonderful mixes. I have had dog parties/sleepovers/boarded at my home and for others in their homes. I’m super happy to cater to your pup’s unique preferences...I can make special foods, pop pills down expertly, change diapers, hang out at the dog park, play fetch, hit the trails, whatever your best friend likes best. Making their day makes my day too! I’m currently working seasonally doing gardening, and am very flexible with my routine. Being around dogs and making them happy is something that brings me me a lot of joy! I will follow whatever normal rules established in your home, or bring them home with me to share space with my two small and friendly dogs.
“Sue did not shy away from watching our young puppy for 10 days. She sent us updates, worked to help her socialize, and dealt with puppy potty training accidents. We are very grateful for the care she provided!”
“Everything about Koda’s stay with Corinne was perfect. She accommodated us stopping by a couple times to pick up Koda for hikes (since dogs weren’t allowed at our condo). She even offered to pick him up once to let us avoid the construction traffic back to her house. She did a great job feeding Koda his antibiotics and eye drops too. Corinne was very capable with our independent Great Pyrenees and he clearly loved staying with Corinne and her son. We will not hesitate to book with her out again if/when we are ever back in the area with Koda and can’t have him stay with us. Thank you so much Corinne!!!”
“Elizabeth was super responsive, friendly and reliable. She was great with our dogs and was such a savior when our flight got canceled and helped us watching our dogs on a short notice! Would definitely recommend her and work with her in the future!”
About: Hey, I'm Jason! Dogs have always been part of my life, and right now Peanut and I are holding down a home that's basically a dog's dream: a fenced yard, a quiet street, and the river and bike path just steps away for long walks and sniff-filled adventures. I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, and doggy day care — with a flexible schedule, so I'm usually available whenever you need me. Here's what your pet can count on: Meals and meds on time, every time Real exercise — yard time plus trail walks by the river Photo/video updates so you always know they're doing great A calm, patient touch, especially for shy or nervous pups Your home and your pet treated with total respect I'd love to meet you both — reach out anytime! Services offered: Boarding, House Sitting, Drop-In Visits, Dog Walking, Doggy Day Care I'm home most of the day, every day, so pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than being squeezed in. When I'm not home, it's usually because I'm out on an adventure somewhere in the county — and dogs in my care are always welcome to tag along on those outings if they're up for it. This flexibility means consistent feeding times, regular walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Since I'm home most of the day, pets in my care get consistent supervision rather than long stretches alone. At my place, there's a fully fenced yard for secure off-leash time, plus the river and bike path right outside for walks and adventures — and if I'm heading out into the county for the day, well-suited dogs are welcome to come along for the ride. In a client's home, I follow their routine closely, keep doors and gates secure, and treat the space with the same care I'd want for my own.
“Tania and her daughter took great care of Bandit for a full week. We received frequent notes and pictures. He had a lot of walks. He loved playing with their dogs and was treated like part of the family.”
“Tracy has been amazing, I don't know what I would do without her! She has taking the absolute best care of Bell, she has been always responsive and always kept me updated. Tracy has made my out of town trips not as bad my making sure I know Bell is doing well and sending lots of pictures. I would highly recommend Tracy!”
“Ducky had the best overnight stay! You could tell she felt right at home — she came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Thank you for taking such good care of our girl. I would definitely recommend Carolina to others!”
“Jenna took such good care of my dog, taking him on a great hike for the day I needed her to watch him (even with a short notice of needing her sitting help) Very happy and would recommend!”
“Amanda was great! She responded quickly and was able to accommodate on short notice. She sent pictures and took Maggie on one of her favorite walks! I had a tired pup when I picked her up, which is always a guarantee that she had a good time. I will definitely be using Amanda again!”
“Jennifer and her girls were great! They took care of our very-active Border Collie for a long weekend and he was tired out and happy when we picked him up. They even took him camping with them and sent us videos! We will definitely use her service again.”
“Erin and her family were fantastic sitters for my dog Pika! Erin sends lots of photos and has 2 very friendly dogs that made Pika feel right at home. Especially in a pinch when we had last minute plans around Christmas. Highly recommend, thank you so much Erin!”
