“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!”

“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!”


“Toby had a great time with Dana, Eric and their daughter. Oh yes and also Kelso , their chocolate lab. He loved the country life for a week. I received some pictures and updates so definitely put my mind at ease. They took great care of him and I will for sure use them again.”


“Abby is awesome! She immediately welcomed my pup into her people and pet family. I received fun pics on a regular basis which brightened my days away and reassured me he was in good hands. Great communications, understanding, and super easy to work with. I'd recommend Abby to anyone.”

“Micaela was so wonderful with our dog. She gave us updates and photos and we felt so comfortable leaving our furry friend. She understood the specific needs of our dog. We will definitely be booking again!”

“She did great my dog loved it there and she takes the dogs on a hike and they run and play and have so much fun. Definitely will be reaching out to her again on my next travel!”

“Kate has been great with our pup. We’ve used her multiple times and always receive our pictures and good communication. Definitely recommend using her for your pup services.”

“Summer was awesome with Kyah. Kyah seemed very happy there. Summer definitely is dedicated to the animals she watches. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”

I accept only 1-2 dogs (from one family) at a time, ensuring plenty of individual attention, supervised outdoor time in our large, shaded, grassy kennel, and a calm, home-like environment. Daily photo updates are included, and I am experienced with administering medications, caring for senior dogs, and other special care needs. I offer a complimentary meet-and-greet before your dog's first stay. For everyone's safety and comfort, guest dogs must be non-reactive and friendly with children and other dogs.

I offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times and am happy to create a personalized care plan to meet your pet’s individual needs and routine. I provide a large, fenced run with access to water and shade as well as a comfortable and secure indoor space. My own dog prefers to spend a majority of nice weather days outdoors but will come inside when the weather is inclement, when its too hot, and, of course, overnight. Leashed walks throughout our 90 acre farm are available as well.
“I've left Cinna with Brenda multiple times now and she always communicates and sends photos. I feel safe with my lil guy in her hands and appreciate her flexibility in my day before bookings. Anytime I'm in Rifle/Glenwood and in need, she's my go-to!”

About: I have had and loved cats my entire life. Never a day without a cat companion by my side. I am skilled at getting timid cats to warm up to me and am an expert pill hider in treats. I have taken care of many families cats while they are away. This job gives me an opportunity to meet many cats in the community and give you peace of mind that they are in good hands.
“Katy and Zoey took great care of Fred while we were away! This was our first time leaving him home while we traveled, so we were a little nervous about how he would do. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were checking in on him and making sure he was happy and had everything he needed. They were reliable, easy to communicate with, and really sweet with Fred. We came home to a happy kitty who had clearly received plenty of care and attention. We appreciate Katy and Zoey and will definitely reach out to them again the next time we need someone to look after Fred!”


“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.”

“Sandi does a great job watching the house, taking care of my cats and chickens, and sending pictures and updates to us several times a day. We definitely recommend Sandi to watch your furry friends and house!!”


About: We're a a couple in our 40s, both working professionals in Montrose. We have six year old daughter and a 10 year old chocolate lab mix who are both friendly, energetic, curious and cuddly. We are looking to help out others in the area who need dog care, since we know how difficult it can be to find good reliable people to watch our pup. We live just south of town with four acres and direct access to public land, perfect for dogs to run around and play in. We also are very active and love taking our pup out for hikes, walks, cross country skiing, fetch, swims, and playtime, and would be happy to bring yours along as well. We hope to meet you and your pup soon! While we both work full-time, we do have flexibility for telework, and breaks throughout the day to take your dog out. We are home full time evenings and weekends. We have a friendly dog who is very social to run and play with your dog. We are comfortable walking dogs on or off leash depending on what your dog is comfortable with.

About: A year and a half ago I moved from Mexico and my Maine Coon is too old to make the trip and I miss her dearly I travel to see her at least every 3 months, in the meantime I would love to spend some time with yours and I’ll do my best to make better that time that you are apart.
“Terry was an outstanding caregiver to our sweet kitty. Communication was excellent - very quick to reply and friendly. She spent time getting to know our kitty and we felt very comfortable with her in our home. She took great care of our fur baby and we will definitely use her again. Cannot recommend highly enough.”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and have always loved caring for animals.

I as well have house sit and dog sit many times for family or family friends. My experience has taught me how to recognize animals’ needs, handle pets of different personalities, and provide patient, reliable care. I am enrolled in college but only have classes during mornings, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m available most weekdays and on weekends, and I’m committed to providing reliable, care for you and your pets needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities.

About: I grew up on a ranch in Southern Colorado, where my love for animals began. I am passionate about caring for animals and making them feel loved and comfortable. I have helped find animals their forever homes, volunteered at shelters and am a member of many rescue groups. I have experience caring for puppies to seniors, some that need extra help walking, extra affection due to stress/anxiety and some who are incontinent and need doggy diapers, or who have special needs. I have experience in medication administration and am knowledgeable about all dog stages of life. My home is clean, quiet and relaxing. Your dogs happiness and safety while staying with me is my number one priority. As a stay at home mom, I can guarantee you peace of mind in knowing that your pets will get a lot of attention, care and love. Please let me know what you and your pet's needs are, and I will do my best to accommodate. As a life long pet owner, your pet will be just as spoiled as mine. They will be able to roam the house freely, are allowed on furniture and always have fresh water. I can provide a lickimat (a grooved mat that encourages the act of licking) that is topped with all natural, organic peanut butter or organic pumpkin to keep your pup satisfied and entertained. I will strictly follow pet owner instructions.

I am able to travel for pick ups and drop offs. I love taking walks so your pet can get some energy out. I also pay close attention to directions on how you like your pet cared for.
“Dario was very responsive from our initial contact. Judging from the photos Dario sent while we were gone (much appreciated!), our very independent cat warmed up to Dario in record time! Dario communicated with us regularly, and we knew Rocket and our home were in very good hands. I hope Dario is available when we travel in the future. I recommend him without hesitation!”


“Nequila was an absolute saint with our animals and spent a lot of time with them on her visits, which was super awesome because both are not used to being alone. Returned home to happy, healthy pets. Highly recommend.”

“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: I truly care for them as if they were my own. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve learned to read their personalities, moods, and needs quickly, so they feel safe and comfortable with me from day one. I also bring a background in hospitality, which means I’m detail-oriented, reliable, and used to making sure every guest — two-legged or four-legged — feels genuinely taken care of. Whether it’s sticking to a specific routine, giving extra attention to a nervous pet, or just making sure they get plenty of love while their owners are away, I treat every animal with the same patience and affection I’d want for my own. I’m currently in between jobs and I couldn’t think of a best way of spending this time than doing what I love and share my time with new furry friends! I take care of the pets at their own home. It is important for me that they feel comfortable in their own environment. I fully adapt myself to the furry friend needs.
“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!”

“Jess's place is off the beaten path and a little hard to find, but it is surrounded by wide-open spaces, which Fred likes. Jess was enthusiastic about Corgies and her Corgi and Fred had a good time.”

“Karissa was terrific! She met with us the night before her shift and our dog took to her immediately. The next day she showed up on time and gave him a nice long walk.
