Doggy Day Care in Yampa

“Katie was super friendly, and Delilah seemed to have a blast! She sent us lots of pictures and an adorable little write-up about their time together.”

About: I have a strong love for each and every dog I meet, and will care for them dearly when they are in my care. I am responsible and very flexible with my hours. I would be willing to provide extra services as well, such as bathing and grooming, nail clipping, etc for no extra cost. I would make it my goal to give your dog spa-like treatment and for them to have the best time they’ve ever had, while they are in my care. I am also very good with communication, so you wouldn’t have to worry about trying to get a hold of me while with your pet. I would be more than willing to keep you updated with pictures and stories about what your dog and I have been up to as well.

About: I have always loved animals since I was a child. I always wanted to be a dolphin trainer and a zookeeper when I was little. That is still a dream of mine, but life has thrown me some curveballs, that has changed my goals/steps in life at this moment. I first worked at my first animal clinic job in 2010-2011, my first job ever, when I was a junior in high school. It was one of the best jobs I have ever had. I decided that working at a animal clinic would be the best job for me until I could work at a zoo. My favorite subject in school was science and animal studies. I went to college and got my associate's in science, and got a bachelor's in zoology and general studies, with a minor in psychology and half minor in scuba diving. I then worked at my second animal hospital in 2022-2023. I loved that job so much because I got to work and do so many things with dogs and cats, as well as many other types of pets. I have cleaned kennels and runs. I have cleaned litter boxes. I have fed and gave water to dogs and cats. I have given medication to dogs and cats. I have given shots to cats. I have bathed dogs and cats. I have taken dogs out on walks. I have taken dogs out to potty. I have done fecal matter samples. I have cleaned up fecal matter outside in the yard as well as cleaned messes including fecal matter, urine and vomit. I am a stay-at-home mom, with both kids at school, so I have the flexibility to take care of pets all day from Monday to Sunday allowing for full day of playtime and belly rubs. Dogs are let out first thing in the morning and many times throughout the day. I do have a dog in the house already, but he loves other dogs and could use the company since we have moved from his friend (my mom’s dog). I can easily separate dogs if a friendly connection doesn’t work. I can keep our dog separate. I have a safe outside leash out front and will sit out there while dogs are out. I would love to make this a full-time job. I enjoy being with dogs and cats all the time. I definitely will make your pets feel like they are at home and very loved. I have a nice yard and I have a park at walking distance, and safe and nice neighborhood to walk dogs. I have extra leashes on hand, I have treats as well and doggy bags. I have a friendly dog at home, that gets along with other dogs and cats. I do have a crate if any dog needs to be crated. I have plenty of blankets as well. I have litter boxes all around the house and change them regularly.

“Stewart responded to our request the evening before we had a golf scramble and needed someone to watch our 90 lb Bernedoodle. His little Sofie kept Reuben occupied and we felt comfortable knowing Stewart had a fenced in backyard for him to exercise.”

About: I’ve had a lot of animals in my life, my current dog I’ve had for 12 years. I love spending time with animals and caring for them. I seem to just know what they need and I’m happy to be of warm and caring service. I work remotely and my dog goes pretty much everywhere with me unless it’s too hot or cold in the car. I have a lot of down time and prefer to spend it walking with the dogs, playing with toys in my house or snuggling up on the couch or floor and rubbing some belly’s haha. Dog people are my people and we just get along. If you have a dog and you need someone who you can trust to treat your fur baby like family, I’m your gal! I work remotely, so I am available throughout the day and very aware of animal needs and can tend to them quickly. We are a pack, we stay together and we enjoy that. I care for them just like I would my own dog, we play throughout the day, he eats well, sun bathes when it’s warm and we go for 2 walks or runs per day.
