“Dawn was super helpful for a last minute request from us. She was friendly and communicative and will definitely be reaching out again!”

About: At the heart of my business is a simple philosophy: your dog isn’t just a pet on a schedule; they are family. While many sitters offer a standard walk around the block, I focus on creating a comforting, structured "home away from home" experience that respects your dog's unique personality and rhythm. Here is what truly sets my care apart: Specialized Senior Care: I have a deep softness for our older companions. I am highly experienced in managing gentle mobility assistance, strict medication schedules, and recognizing the subtle signs of discomfort or anxiety in senior dogs. I ensure their days are peaceful, safe, and filled with quiet comfort. Puppy Training Support: Raising a puppy takes a village. I don't just watch your pup; I help reinforce your ongoing training. From consistency with housebreaking and crate routines to practicing loose-leash walking and basic commands, I ensure your puppy’s development stays right on track. A Cozy, Low-Stress Environment: Whether they need high-energy mental stimulation or just a warm lap to lean against while you're away, my goal is to maintain the exact level of comfort and security they feel when they are with you. When your dog is with me, they aren’t just being watched-they are truly cared for, understood, and loved. My flexible schedule allows me to prioritize your dog’s specific routine, whether they require precise midday medication, extra puppy potty breaks, or last-minute care when your plans suddenly change. Whether your dog is staying at my mountain retreat or I am visiting them in your home, my care is entirely centered on love, wellness, and specialized attention. I treat every pet like family, ensuring their physical, mental, and emotional needs are fully met through a luxurious, high-standard routine. Here is exactly how I care for your pet: Positive Reinforcement Training: I believe in building confidence through kindness. Throughout the day-whether we are practicing leash manners or rewarding good choices-I use positive reinforcement to keep your dog engaged, happy, and learning. Outdoor Adventures (Walks, Hikes & Lake Swims): Taking full advantage of our beautiful surroundings, I tailor outdoor time to your dog's energy level. This includes brisk neighborhood walks, scenic mountain hikes, and even refreshing lake swims for the water lovers. Home-Cooked Nutrition: Proper nutrition is vital. If your dog eats a specialized diet, I am happy to cool and prep their custom, home-cooked meals precisely to your instructions so their digestion stays perfect. Weekly Grooming & Pampering: A clean pup is a happy pup. I incorporate a weekly groomer routine to keep your dog brushed, fresh, and feeling their absolute best during extended stays. Dedicated Snuggle Time: Emotional comfort is just as important as physical exercise. I always make plenty of time for quiet, cozy one-on-one snuggles so your dog feels safe, loved, and completely at home.

“I give Lori my highest possible recommendation as a pet sitter. She is incredibly attentive and genuinely cares for the animals under her watch as if they were her own. While we were away, she provided us with regular photo updates, which gave us immense peace of mind and allowed us to see our pets were not just safe, but truly happy and content. Her obvious passion for animals and her professional reliability make her the first person I will call for any future pet sitting needs!”

“Emily was so great! Was consistent and came around the same time everyday for drop in visits and always sent pics and a nice report card of my kitty! She did a meet and greet before I left for the week which I really appreciated. I’m very protective and particular with my cat and have never had a stranger watch her before, but Emily did a great job (even though my cat was a brat to her the whole time - sorry Emily!) I will definitely book Emily again if I need a pet sitter in the future! Highly recommend - she is very professional and caring!!”

“Ashley was terrific. Reliably showed up at the agreed days, sent pictures, was great with the cats and even took care of mail & packages. We will certainly be looking to use her services again in the future.”

“Chey was amazing from the start. She was quickly responsive to all my messages and questions. The meet & greet went well and Sunshine liked her from the very start! The photos she sent while we were gone calmed our nerves about using Rover for the first time. Thanks, Chey!”

“It was easy to setup care for Meow with Danielle. She was also very easy to talk to and made sure Meow was well taken care of while we were away. She kept us updated and reached out if she had any questions. Thank you, Danielle!”

“Morgan is everything you want in anyone who looks after your pet- dependable, observant, communicative. She lets you know what pet owners want to know about the visit. I have a young puppy with many needs, but Morgan gives me great peace with her drop in visits.”

“Anjani was amazing! She totally helped me out last minute when we had a cancelled sitter. We were in a funky old Airbnb with lots of quirks and she follow a ton of instructions perfectly. Communicated well, great photos and the dogs seemed really happy and tired when we got back. I would have no reservations or worries about booking for Anjani in the future !”

“Shiva seemed very well cared for. And it was a super last minute booking!”

About: I've watched pets on and off since I was an adolescent. I am a go-to for my family, watching several dogs. In my teens and 20's I would house sit the pets of relatives. I will be working around my schedule, providing availability mornings and late afternoons. I am also available weekends. I commute for work throughout the front range corridor and flexible in the areas west and north of Lakewood. I can be available to drop in on pets, whether walking or just dropping in. In either scenario, we can meet and make sure you and your cat/dog are comfortable. I am comfortable walking small and medium-large dogs. I am also comfortable with returning the dog/puppy to their crate or preferred area.

“Laney is great! Took care of the needs of our pup when we needed some help. I would definitely recommend her :)”

About: Five years and running in Summit County. My love of animals is noticeable and after having spent many a day and weekend taking care of my friends and neighbors furbabies (including running with their dogs), I've decided to make dog/cat sitting a more permanent side hobby. As a pet owner myself (both cats and dogs), I understand how important a cat/dog sitter is to the wellbeing of both the owner and their pet(s). Therefore, I'll do all that I can to make sure I provide a fun, safe and positive experience for everyone. I am a consultant so my hours are somewhat flexible during the week and weekends. Let me know how I can help. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I am available for drop in visits, feeding, playtime, companionship, and overnight stays depending on the location. My priority is creating a safe calm and comfortable environment where pets can maintain their routine and feel secure. In a clients home I respect the pets established schedule and the owners preferences, including feeding routines, medications, exercise, playtime and household guidelines. I pay close attention to behavior and well-being and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and cared for.

“Jennifer is outstanding. Excellent communication. Highest recommendation.”

“I can’t say enough positive things about Isabella!! She took such sweet care of our Bully with so much love and care, our pup even got a bath and nail trim and some extra special toys from her. So thankful we found Isabella-she’s our one and only pup sitter from here on out!!”
