Pet Boarding Whitewater

“This was the first time in 3 years that Phoenix had been away from us so we were really nervous. Whitney put our minds at ease right from the start with her knowledge, structure and kindness. When picking up Phoenix after his 3 night stay, we saw a happy well cared for dog. We would highly recommend Whitney.”

About: I have always believed that a house isn’t a home without the unconditional love of a dog. Throughout my life, my happiest moments have been defined by furry family members greeting me at the door with wet noses, endless kisses, and wagging tails. Yet, like any devoted pet parent, I know the familiar pang of guilt and anxiety that comes with walking out the door—whether it’s just for a quick daily errand, a long day at work, or a much-needed vacation. Our pets thrive on routine, familiarity, and love. Leaving them behind is often the hardest part of being a pet owner. Now that I am retired, I have dedicated my time and passion to help other dog lovers minimize or even solve this dilemma. Imagine a life where traveling or working doesn't mean leaving your pet only to face an empty house or even worse, confined to a kennel. Instead, you can step away with complete peace of mind, knowing your fur babies are in the hands of someone who will care for them like family and support the routines they are used to and comfortable with. I would love the opportunity to do this for you and your sweet friend(s). Please take a look at the services I offer, and contact me today so we can keep your pets happy, safe, and loved while you are away. I cannot imagine a more rewarding way to spend my retirement than caring for your beloved pups and kitties. To ensure the best possible care, I always request an initial meet-and-greet with you and your pet(s), ideally in their own comfortable environment. Once we establish that we are a great fit, we can begin scheduling regular visits. Over time, as your pet becomes completely comfortable with me, my home will also be open to them for overnight stays and day care should the need arise. I look forward to learning your specific routines to keep your pets safe and sound. Their time with me will be fully tailored to whatever your fur baby loves most—whether that means playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, enjoying mealtime, or taking trips to the park. Regardless of whether I am walking your dog or dropping in to check on your kitty, safety is always my top priority.

“Daniel was friendly, helpful, flexible, and communicated with us promptly & sent lots of pics. Our dog had a great stay & must have felt safe, happy, and loved because he ate well. (Our pup will go off his feed when feeling out of sorts). Plenty of room for fun play inside the house and in the fenced backyard. We will definitely use Daniel for our Rover next time we are in the area.”

“Natalie was the best! She took such great care of my pup and sent me regular updates + cute pics the whole time. He even lost a couple baby teeth while he was with her and she saved them for me 🥹 so sweet. I felt super at ease the whole weekend and would 100% book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Summer was amazing. Not only was she an excellent communicator and photographer, but she completely put my mind at ease - I didn't even have to worry or think about whether or not my dog was getting excellent care. She took care of him like he was her own dog. I am so grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Summer!!!”

About: I grew up on a farm with cats, dogs, pigs, goats and horses! I worked with a breeder so I have lots of experience with puppies and mothers. Most dogs I've spent time with are high energy dogs like Australian shepard's but I've also spent time with low energy like Saint Bernards. I am a travel occupational therapist currently taking a break from moving around. Currently not working so I am very free! I love morning walks. I live in a camper but your fur baby will not be home alone! Our campground has a fenced dog run and I would love to visit some parks if comfortable. I can visit your pet within their home at any time of day.

“Kristina is very nice and professional. She sent pictures of Sadie and even took her on a hike. I would highly recommend Kristina as a dog sitter for your pup.”

“We love our dog Kubo so much it is really tough to leave him! Kate allowed us to to feel so at peace knowing he was in good hands both last year and this year for the Telluride bluegrass festival, Kubo had the time of his life and didn’t want to leave! She sent us photo updates and check-ins and definitely going to hit up Kate again next year! Thank you Kate!! ~Katie (Rowan’s girlfriend :)”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and trained vet tech with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, and both saltwater and freshwater fish. As a mother of three and the proud owner of 5 cats and 2 dogs, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I bring patience, reliability, and a calm, compassionate approach to every visit. I specialize in drop-ins and overnight care in your home, helping pets stay comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I’m also available for holiday pet care, so families can travel with peace of mind knowing their pets are being loved and cared for like my own. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I’m available in the mornings, evenings, weekends, and for overnight stays, which lets me give pets consistent attention and companionship. Whether it’s a walk to start the day or a cozy check‑in at night, I make pet care a natural part of my routine. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their own home. I follow their normal schedule, meals, walks, medication, playtime, and quiet time, so everything feels familiar and stress‑free for them. I’m attentive to safety, always checking doors, gates, and surroundings, and I keep their space clean and calm. When I stay overnight, I make sure they have steady companionship and a peaceful environment. I also send regular updates and photos so owners always feel connected and confident while they’re away.

“Melissa is such a kind & wonderful person! So easygoing & nice. She took great care with our dog & asked questions if she wasn’t sure of something. She’s like a good friend taking care of your precious pet. If we ever go away again, she will be the one I call.”

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets throughout my life, including cats growing up and currently two dogs of my own. I’m very familiar with daily care routines such as feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and behavior monitoring. I enjoy being active with dogs through walks and play, whether that’s structured walks, backyard play, or just giving them attention and enrichment so they stay happy and stimulated. I understand that every pet has different energy levels and needs, and I adjust care accordingly. I’m also comfortable with basic pet care needs, including administering oral medications and supporting pets with special routines or recovery needs, as long as it falls within standard, non-veterinary care guidelines. I’m very detail-oriented and always follow instructions closely to make sure pets stay safe, comfortable, and on schedule. Overall, I’m confident with both dogs and cats of all temperaments and prioritize calm, consistent, and reliable care so pets feel secure while their owners are away. I already care for my doggos at home regularly so it is a natural part of my daily routine. I work mon- Thursday so I'm free friday- Sunday afternoon o care for your animals Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine as much as possible. In my home, pets will have a calm, clean environment with supervision and plenty of attention. I maintain a structured routine with feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I also have two friendly dogs, so visiting pets will be in a real home setting with normal household activity, and I always make sure introductions and space are managed safely. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions exactly as provided, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter box care, and any special routines. I’m respectful of the home, keep things tidy, and make sure pets feel secure and not disrupted while their owners are away. In both settings, I pay close attention to behavior and health changes and communicate updates so owners always know how their pets are doing.

“Thank you so much Maria. Such a great host for my dog. You took such great care of him and made him feel so comfortable at your home. Had wonderful space for him to play and swim.”

“Brooke was a great match for our dogs. She was very sweet and happy to welcome them into her family. She gave us regular updates and kept our minds at ease. She agreed to drop the dogs off at our home since we wouldn't be home until after midnight on our last night and when our door wouldn't unlock for her she took them back and watched them the rest of the night for us until we could come pick them up. She was super flexible and extra accommodating. We would definitely take our dogs back to her and recommend her to anyone, especially small dog owners.”

“Katelyn was a great caretaker of Leo! She made sure he was comfortable with his new friends (her three labs are super playful). Thank you so so much for your help!”
