“Liah is absolutely wonderful!! She went above and beyond every step; not only for Gus, but for us as well. Great communication, sweet picture updates and space to let Gus find his happy place. Will absolutely book with Liah again!”

About: I love dogs and have had many of them, so I am excited to watch your dog! My entire family love to meet new dogs and make friends I work from home, and my son loves spending time with dogs when he is home in the evenings and weekends. I walk in the morning, afternoon, and evening, and feed on schedule. I take dogs out on leash and keep them in a secure, climate-controlled room when we must leave the house. I walk dogs at least 15 minutes every 4 hours.
About: Hi, I'm Susan! Animals have a way of making every day better, and I love returning the favor by giving them a safe, calm, and caring experience while their humans are away. I've been in Steamboat for over five years and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and reliable care. Whether your cat is playful and curious, loves chasing toys, or prefers a cozy nap in their favorite sunny spot, I'm happy to match their personality and routine. I understand that every cat is unique, and I take the time to earn their trust while making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own home. I love taking pictures, so you'll receive plenty of photo updates to see exactly what your cat is up to while you're away! You can count on me to be: • Reliable and communicative • Patient with shy, senior, or independent cats • Respectful of your cat's routines and boundaries • Attentive to medications, feeding schedules, litter box care, and fresh water • Gentle, calm, and focused on making your cat feel safe and comfortable My goal is simple: I want your cat to feel relaxed and cared for while you're away, and I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they're in loving hands. I can't wait to meet you and your feline family! Your pet's routine is my priority. I'll follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and downtime, helping them stay happy and comfortable while you're away. I'll make every day feel as normal and consistent as possible. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while respecting the routines and preferences you've established. Before we begin, I like to learn about your pet's personality, daily schedule, favorite activities, feeding routine, medications, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. During each visit, I'll make sure your pet has everything they need, including fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise or playtime, potty breaks (for dogs), litter box cleaning (for cats), and plenty of attention and affection. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers a calm companion, I'll tailor my care to what makes them happiest. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'll keep everything clean and tidy, follow any instructions you've provided, and make sure your pet feels safe and secure in their familiar environment. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages after each visit, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, well cared for, and in good hands.
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
“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!”

“Our Murphy dog is a 12 1/2 year old Golden. Suzanne went out of her way to accommodate him and make sure he had both a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Suzanne was exceptional in her caretaking, and she has valuable canine behavioral training. I would not hesitate to book with Suzanne. We will be using her when we are back in Steamboat.”

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!

“Absolutely wonderful to work with! Her communication was absolutely amazing and she treated our home and more importantly our baby girl with so much kindness and respect we have no words! We 100% recommend her!”


About: I have helped with fostering baby kittens for the past couple of years and my family has four cats of our own. I have the experience needed for your little one! I also just recently adopted a kitten who is turning 1 on May 11th!

About: While dogs are great, I have a massive soft spot for the true rulers of the house—cats! I know that winning over a cat is an art form, and I pride myself on being a certified 'cat person' who respects their boundaries and understands their unique quirks. Whether your kitty is a social butterfly who wants to play with feather wands all day, or a quiet soul who prefers a clean litter box, a fresh bowl of water, and some space, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and completely pampered while you're away.

About: I have been caring for cats since early childhood and have a true passion for animals. Pet sitting was my first means of income as a child with my neighbors (and parents) allowing me to care for their animals 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. Look forward to hearing from you!

“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!”

“Another great trip to Steamboat and a happy dog once again. Our pup was excited to visit every morning and good and tired when we picked her up after skiing. Thank you again for making our days worry free and making it so simple for us to travel with our hyper little girl :) we look forward to seeing you and the family again soon.”
