Personalized care for your dog or cat - Villa Grove

“Raffelina is an excellent" puppy sitter". She took care of our 15 year old and our 1 year old. She took great care of our older dog who can't hear or see and I believe she was very caring and loving toward her. The same with our little puppy who demands a lot of attention too. Communication with us was exceptional. We received both texts and pictures. I highly recommend Raffelina to care for any pets.”

“Julia was great with both dogs! This was a last minute request and Julia was more than happy to accept both doggies! We appreciated her accepting a 3-month old puppy and know there can be challenges with a puppy. She also took both dogs on a walk and snuggled and loved on them! We will use Julia again (in fact, tomorrow for Jasper).”

“Big thanks to Leanne! Luke had a great day romping in the water, napping and hanging out with Leanne. We felt confident that he was in good hands from the moment we met Leanne.”

“Paige was great. I was in Salida working at an event and she picked up and dropped off my dog, she was very punctual. Our two dogs got on well. My dog went on long hikes and was happy and tired when I got her back. Would definitely recommend Paige for anyone needing a sitter or dog walker.”

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: Animal lover with a home to share. I have had pets since I was little and promote positive reinforcement with my pet training. I live on 3.75 acres with access to many walking trails right from the house and love to have a good excuse to get outside through out the day. I work for myself from home so I am very flexible and do not have any other pets that live with me at the moment. I would be happy to help you out when you are away! I work for myself from home so I am very flexible with my availability. I enjoy exercise so an excuse to walk a dog a few times a day works great with my schedule. I have a fenced portion of my yard and do not have any other pets in the home. I am clean and do not have a lot of clutter so there is not a lot of stuff for pets to get into.

“Sarah was amazing- even with our quirky border collie we had full confidence! Thank you for a great doggie day care day with our pup. Will definitely book with you again!”

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 have been around pets all my life. I've looked after my own and friends' and family's animals specifically cats and dogs. 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. I'm fully retired and while I enjoy the outdoors -- hiking and walking, camping and fishing, I also have plenty of time to devote to caring for pets whose owners are busy or away. 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.

“Dawn was amazing and took such good care of beagle!!”

About: I have had and trained dogs since I was a child. Neighbors, friends and families have relied on me to care for their pets when they were unable to. I have experience with large and small breads as well as cats. My past cat had cerebellar hypoplasia so I also have experience with disabled pets. I am currently working Mon.-Thurs so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! I don't currently have any pets of my own but they bring me so much joy! I will take exceptional care of your pets and treat them like they are my own. I am currently working Mon.-Thurs so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! I am off around 4pm but my schedule is pretty flexible if your doggo needs to go out at lunch. I am usually around Salida on the weekends. I have an unfenced yard but can take your dog out on a leash and I love going on walks around town! I will take extra care of your pets as well as your home while you're away.
