Doggy Day Care in Will-O-The-Wisp

About: Hi! We are Kati and Mitch, a work from home couple living with our pack in the mountains. We’ve owned and raised dogs of all shapes and attitudes and sizes, so our experience covers most ground! Our 14 year old dog is a pit who was very reactive in his prime, teaching us a lot about how to handle reactive dogs safely, but now as a sleepy senior, he’s taught us more about senior dog care. We raised our second dog from a puppy, so she taught us so much about the adorable havoc that puppies can bring! Our newest is a rescue, who was a street dog in Texas. She was very skittish and is still people-shy, so we’ve learned a lot about how to approach wary dogs, and how to break those naughty habits she learned on the streets! We love our pack so much, and we’d love to use our knowledge to love yours too! We both work from home 100% of the time, so we are home all day if you need a daycare or want to board, your pup will rarely be left alone if ever! Our schedules are flexible enough that we can easily fit in multiple drop in visits or daily walks too. We have a fully fenced in yard, a little over half an acre. Our two younger dogs would love to play with a new friend, but will also give space if yours isn’t into the rough and tumble! Our dogs are all allowed on the furniture, one sleeps in bed with us. They are the center of our attention all day, yours will be no different! :)

“Jordyn was great with my dog Finn. Reliable, communicated well and was super helpful with pickup and drop-off locations. I will be using her services again.”

“Lukas and Copper fell in love with Jenn as soon as we arrived! They were quite comfortable staying when I left them for the day. When we picked them up they were relaxed and not trying to leave right away!! Fantastic meet and greet.”

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 open and entirely 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.

“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter for our wild and crazy German Shepherd. He is spoiled with love and care all day and comes home happy and worn out. Love the daily text updates and photos too! We would definitely recommend Kim to be your doggy daycare!!”

About: I have 1 dog of my own and have grown up with animals (dogs, cows, goats, rabbits, chickens, pigs, cats) my entire life! I love all animals. My first job was working at a pet resort when I was 16. I worked there all throughout high school and when I came home for summers in college! I would love to open my own doggie daycare/boarding facility someday 😎 #RoverSideHustle I work from home and have flexible hours. Some days I have no meetings and can be anywhere at any time (even on short notice!!) if I’m not out of town. I use Rover often myself and will treat your home and animals with the same care I treat my own and would want from someone else!

“Taylor was AMAZING! She provided great care for my pup, and sent lots of pictures & updates. My dog had the best time playing with Taylor’s dogs! I highly recommend Taylor for daycare ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: Hello! We are a family of 4 humans, 2 dogs, a tarantula, and 1 fish. Kristin and Brant are recently retired so dogs are rarely left alone. We have an amazing 1/4 acre fenced yard which is enjoyed by our own 2 dogs, Elton and Izzy. Both dogs are well socialized. Elton and Izzy are fine with small dogs. Dogs have free roam of the house and yard all day. We only take a max of 2 dogs at one time and both dogs must be a good fit with our dogs. Dogs must be 70lbs or less (in most cases). Another important note for senior dogs, we have a full flight of stairs at each entrance, so dogs must be able to handle stairs with ease. Our sons are 13 and 16 and have been around dogs all their lives. We've been dog owners for 20+ years and know how difficult it is to find affordable and safe care for furbabies. We want to help! Dogs have free roam of the house and yard during daylight hours. Dogs can have free roam or be kenneled at night depending on your preference. We often make weekend trips to the local dog park and dogs are walked frequently! We only offer boarding services and doggie daycare at our home for a max of 2 dogs at a time. Daily photos and updates will be sent. Pre-stay meet and greet is required! Your dog will become one of the family while staying. Kristin and Brant are recently retired so dogs are rarely left alone and have constant access to the large fenced yard to play. Dogs get lots of play time. We treat our visiting dogs like one of the family! We limit the stays to 2 dogs at a time (in addition to our own). We treat our guests like we want our dogs to be treated.

About: ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS FOR 2025 SUMMER ADVENTURES - PARK HANGS, LAKE SWIMS, AND MORE ☀️ I’ve spent my entire life around dogs. Growing up, I quickly became one of the primary caregivers for my own pups and was known as the resident dog-sitter around the neighborhood. I was the first person called when a neighbor needed someone to watch their dog. I care deeply for animals and have taken the time to research and understand basic dog behavior and communication. Being around animals makes me genuinely so happy and excited. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages, including puppies and elderly dogs. *I have a 6 month old Bernese Mountain/Golden Retriever mix. He LOVES other dogs. He will be present at bookings unless otherwise stated, so you can rest assured you will come home to a happy pup that has been able to play all week long! I’m currently in between jobs due to an unexpected lay-off, so your pup will receive 100% of my attention during the week! I love having more time to be able to dedicate to your pet and making sure they have the best time ever with me. I will always prioritize safety and ensuring your pup feels respected, safe, and well-cared for. I believe in positive reinforcement to create healthy, mutually respectful relationships between humans and dogs. I will always respect your training methods to the best of my ability.

“Rex had a great time and we will def be coming back!”

About: I have raised both of my families dogs since they were puppies, and have cared for my relatives elderly pets. We have a very large fenced yard, have neighborhood access to a local trail system, and are 5-10 minutes from Evergreens lakes and parks for all exercise needs! I only board one dog at a time in order to give them my undivided attention. I love housing puppies, my 7 month old Samoyed would love to play with them ! I am available throughout the week and during weekends. My daily hours can vary, but most are spent at home, meaning I am able to provide for whatever needs your pet may have. I have an extremely large fenced yard around our 6000 sqft house, multiple outdoor walking options including: Evergreen Lake, Elk Meadow Park, Flying J Ranch, and Three Sisters Trail, all within 10 minutes. There is also plenty of indoor space for your pet to roam, explore, and make themselves at home in. I house 2 of my own dogs that will be happy to keep your pet company!

“Rosie was well care for. This was her 1st visit with Amber and seemed to adapt very well and was very content. We are looking forward to future bookings with Amber.”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I love getting to know each one's unique personality. Whether your furry bestie is big or small, high-energy, timid, or the life of the dog park, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Every walk or stay is personalized to their needs, so they come back home with a wagging tail and a happy heart! My schedule is quite flexible and can work around almost any schedule, so whether you need mornings, afternoons, nights or weekends, I am there for you. I'll customize each walk to cater to your dog's individual needs, guaranteeing they return back home with their tails wagging and their hearts brimming with contentment.

“Thank you to Jennifer for taking such good care of our brand new puppy whilst we were at Red Rocks!!! You guys were so flexible with the timing of drop off and pick up, you sent pictures to ease a mom’s worried mind. It was a fantastic experience all around.”
