Doggy Day Care West Colorado Springs

“Kim was a lifesaver on our trip to Colorado Springs, many of the activities we planned didn't allow dogs and we felt so comfortable leaving our doggo with her. She was super flexible on times and we even added an extra day! She sent videos and our pup was so happy when we picked him up and excited when we took him back the next day!”

“Melinda was great with Zoey!, she watched her for 2 days and Zoey was completely cool with going back the 2nd day. Melinda sent us updates and pictures of Zoey during the day. I would definitely recommend Melinda, and if we return to Colorado Springz will use her again 😊❤️”

“Rachel and was so sweet with my boys. They were immediately comfortable at her home. My Ollie even wanted to show me around when I returned to pick him up; usually he is dying to jump in the car and head home. That speaks very well of Rachel. She sent me photos and communications was great!”

Katie P.

“I dropped my pup Monkey off for a few hours with Sarah while my partner and I went to the hot springs. Sarah had a few other dogs in the house and she let us come in and meet the pack/ watch Monkey meet them all. One of the dogs wasn't thrilled about the new member so we decided it was best to keep the pack split. Monkey had a blast playing with a new friend outside in the yard and inside, and Sarah sent me photos and a video which I loved :) I would definitely trust Sarah again to watch my baby girl!”

“Samantha was absolutely amazing. Our dog was very skittish when we dropped him off but Samantha made sure he felt safe and secure. I received the cutest updates of his progress during his visit. I would highly recommend Samantha!”

“This was our first time using Rover. Sara was awesome and we will absolutely use her again next time we’re in the area! Incredibly quick to respond and excellent communication throughout the whole experience from meeting up beforehand and communications about the needed schedule flexibility on our end. She was on time for both meetings and her own dog is so very sweet. We’re so pleased they got along and Sara got them out and about on a beautiful day as well. Now we’re on a long drive home and our pup is actually sleeping in our car, something she never does, so we know she had a wonderful time playing with Sara’s dog. We’ll be using Sara again and passing her info along to friends that frequently visit the area as well. Thank you, Sara!”

About: We nicknamed our home The Dachs Inn - a weenie wonderland! We’ve cared for Dachshunds for 15 years and specialize in meeting the unique needs of this breed, including dog ramps on our furniture and deck. Our home features a dog door with all-day access to a giant backyard for potty breaks, play time, sunbathing and squirrels!!! Plush dog beds are placed through the home and a giant sectional provides the perfect spot for cuddle time. Daily walks are provided, we even have a dog stroller for senior dogs or those dachshunds suffering from IVDD. I work remotely from home full time and, along with my retired husband, provide hourly drop-in care, play dates, overnight and extended boarding in our home. Additionally, I provide home visits and walking services to families located on the west side of Colorado Springs. Other locations throughout Colorado are considered on case-by-case request for extended care in your home (5 or more days). I have three dachshunds, ages 15, 10, and under 1 year. My dog-friendly home has a fenced back yard, we feed all visiting dogs separately, and can provide daily pictures of your baby’s activities. I can also provide regular weigh-ins, medications, and teeth brushing. I am very active and love going on long walks/hikes (up to three miles) upon request. While I prefer to host only smaller dogs in our home, I am open to all breeds for care at your home - including drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I kindly ask that all dogs are current on all vaccinations, including kennel cough. For medical emergencies, we are established at Westside Animal Hospital, The Animal Clinic of Woodland Park, and the Emergency Pet Center.

“We brought our dog to Carla all bandaged up with an injury and she was able to follow all of his care directions and make sure he took it easy to heal. This was all very last minute and we are so grateful she was able to help us. She truly is the best!”

“Laura did a great job with Leia. She was properly exhausted at the end of her days!”

Greg O.

“Had a great experience with Tatum! She is very communicative, flexible, and willing to work with our schedules. Our pup has a great time each time she watches him!”

Greg L.

“We're so appreciative of Devon taking care of Zeus! Zeus always seems calm and relaxed after spending the day with Devon. It puts our minds at ease knowing Zeus is taken care of and has someone to hang out with while we're at work 😊”

Dylann M.

“Giselle watched our dog Benny and we felt so comfortable leaving him in her care. From the start Giselle was quick to reply to our request for care and was very flexible. She worked with Benny on his training, took him on a long walk and played with him in the yard. He is a high energy dog and she wore him out!😊 If you are looking for someone responsible, attentive and kind Giselle was perfect. I will use her in the future!”

Marie D.

“Mariah is an amazing dog-sitter!! She was very helpful with last minute booking. Paloma and my boy got along great. At the meet and greet she told us exactly how Zeus would be spending his day. She listened to all our concerns and information. Drop off and pick up were quick and simple. Her kiddos love and respect animals, I know Zeus got spoiled with attention. And lots of fun play time with his new friend Paloma! We will be booking with Mariah and Paloma again.”

Sierra M.

“I can't say enough nice things about Hanui. Not only did she take excellent care of my dog, but she offered additional help when I was in a bind. She and her husband are outstanding people. I am grateful to them.”

Margaret G.

“Kizzy took care of my Blanca. Happy to rebook her in the future.”

Destiny B.

“Lorraine was awesome. She was able to watch my elderly dog on last minute notice, and I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. She spoiled him, send me updates and pics along the way. Thank you so much!!”

About: A few years ago I left the full-time workforce to homeschool my son during pandemic, and we started walking dogs and cat-sitting as a side project we could do together. We’ve had an absolute blast meeting so many wonderful pups and cats. Now he’s back to in-person school and I’m back to school as well, starting on my PhD! I intend to continue walking and sitting to help with those hefty tuition payments, and my son will continue to be involved outside of school hours! (He sometimes gets jealous when I visit our favorite dogs and cats without him 😂) Rover has been exactly what we needed at exactly the right time, and I’m so happy to spend my days out enjoying the Colorado sunshine, maybe listening to a podcast or audiobook while I enjoy some good trails or neighborhood walks and feed off the great energy that comes from a dog excited to go on a walk! We tend to do cat check-ins after dinner, which gives my son a good sense of responsibility when he has to help me go through the checklist of to-do’s each visit! Our other new pandemic animal project has been fostering with the Humane Society, and we have two wonderful “foster fails” of our own - a beautiful Ragdoll cat named Yoda and a spunky little Chihuahua mix named Cocoa Puff. We also have a few backyard chickens, and we continue to foster kittens and pups regularly, which is why right now we’re only open to walking and sitting; no boarding or day care. Our lives are filled with animals and we wouldn’t have it any other way! If you entrust us to your animals I can guarantee a high level of care. I take the responsibility seriously, and teach my son to as well. For dogs, we generally start with a walk around your neighborhood the first time or two just to get accustomed to the dogs (and let them get accustomed to us!); and then, with your permission, after a few neighborhood walks, we’d love to load your pup(s) into the car and hit our favorite local trails. Warning - they may (/will) get a bit dirty! On weekdays, I love to do longer dog walks while my son is in school. He’s completely happy to join in on walks after school or on weekends, but either our pace will be a bit slower (we love to geocache to make things a bit more interesting though!) or we’ll look for a playground so he can entertain himself and play with other kids midwalk while I do a few loop with the dogs. Cat check-ins are great for after dinner time in our schedule, but if you have more specific time needs, let me know and we’ll likely be able to make it work! One thing that is really difficult for us is anytime between 7:30pm and 7:30am. In a pinch, I can make it work; but those are generally sleep hours for my son, and I’m a single mama so we really shouldn’t commit to check-ins or walks after 7:30pm or before 7:30am. At this time we only offer boarding to existing clients. Generally, if I’ve started to regularly walk your pup, I’ll seek to introduce them to our household - we’ve got chickens, a small-breed dog, and a cat. So I’d need to know that your pup is fine with all of those stimuli before we could board them during your vacation. But we’ve successfully done it with quite a number of our other regulars!

“Very communicative, easy drop off and pick up! I knew Pelle boy was in great hands.”

“I’m so happy I found Phil! I was in town to climb the manitou incline and I couldn’t take my dog with me. He made me feel safe and comfortable. He even offered to meet me halfway to pick up my dog Maui. Sent me couple pictures of my dog with him at the park with his dogs and that totally made me feel good. I’ll use him again on my next visit in manitou springs! Thank you!!”

Sandee D.

“Alisha, Luis & their family were awesome! They treated our Lulu like she’s their own. I cant thank them enough! We enjoyed our stay in Colorado knowing the Lulu was safe in their home. If i could give them 6stars i would!”
