Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
The best cat sitters ever! They loved our cats and spent so much time playing with them and making sure they were happy! We had photos and videos every day with funny little messages and we came home to two very happy, healthy cats. The house was spotless and they even washed the linen and towels! They left us some cute Easter presents and breakfast shopping in the fridge, as we were returning after a long flight. We would definitely recommend Michael and Jeanne to anyone and hope they will come back to Teignmouth in the near future. Thanks very much for looking after our beautiful cats and our home x
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $ per visit, $20/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
My puppy Lady loves being taken care of by Aspen Dog Nanny. Heather and Kevin are great communicators, take really loving care of my dog and the other pups in their care, and send pictures and checkins consistently and reliably. They are flexible and adjusted to a change in my personal schedule that elongated Lady's stay with them from a few days to nearly a week. Very glad to have Aspen Dog Nanny in the Roaring Fork Valley!
My golden loves Aspen Dog Nanny so much! My only worry is that she won't want to come home! When I'm in a pinch I always call these guys and they always come through. I might feel bad leaving my sweet pup in a kennel, but this is so much better. I know that not only is she well taken care of, but also that she's extremely happy to be there, and that's why I choose Aspen Dog Nanny. They're just THE BEST!
My Standard Poodle stayed with Heather & Kev for a month and was very well cared for, spoiled and actually had more fun with them in their property than me in Town Aspen. I would definitely recommend them. They are very professional and great with the dogs. My Standard was very healthy, happy and well exercised throughout her one-month stay. I also have to add they sent me photos frequently & responded to text communication promptly.
We were fortunate enough to discover Heather and Keven’s dog care services, Aspen Dog Nanny. Their business is home-based and well equipped, and most importantly, EXCELLENT communication. Our senior Coton de Tulear (16 yo) and beloved member of our pack enjoyed several days with them. Every day when we dropped her off and picked her up, she was calm and didn’t fuss at all. It would have been impossible to ski without Keven and Heather, and their dogs. We really appreciated their attention to our Lucy. Many thanks ! ❤️🙏
This was the best experience ever. Sweetest most kind people took my dog in while I was in a conference in Snowmass. The hotel we were staying would not allow for dogs and we realized that a little too late. We found Aspen Dog nanny and last minute they were able to take our precious Jasper for the next few days. They were absolutely wonderful in the fact they were always updating us with how he was doing , he made friends with the other pups there and provided pictures. Very affordable and accommodating. They have a lot of land in which the dogs can explore and roam getting plenty of playtime and even allowed my pup to cuddle with them making him feel at home. When we picked our dog up they provided him with some treats in which he absolutely loved that are all natural homemade and will be ordering more. I highly recommend this company and will be back when back in the area.
I was in town camping when at the last minute decided to go whitewater rafting. I couldn’t leave my dogs at the campsite though, so I looked up foggy day care places around. I found it!! From the moment I called they were incredibly helpful and accommodating. They were able to take in both of my pups for the day. I received several pictures throughout the day of my girls running around having fun with the other dogs on the property. They had such a great time!! It definitely wasn’t a basic dog day care where they leave them in a cage all day, which I really appreciated. When I picked them I was given all kinds of great advice about the area and other places to check out. Definitely would recommend!! From communication, friendliness, accommodating, all 5 stars.
Heather has been amazing in caring for our sometimes opinionated cat Lyra in our home. Lyra loves her visits! Our elderly dog Riley also loved staying with her, and needed special attention as an older dog. She was happy and well cared for!
Aspen Nanny allows us to leave town without worrying about our sweet fur baby, Morty. He acts like he is in Disneyland for dogs. When we drop him off.. he rushes in without even a glance back at us.
I recently had the pleasure of using Aspen Dog Nanny for my two boys, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The communication and flexibility provided were top-notch. They were always responsive and accommodating to our needs. One of the highlights of our experience was receiving pictures of our boys while we were out skiing. It was heartwarming to see them having a great time and being well taken care of. This thoughtful gesture truly set this dog daycare apart. Based on our positive experience, we would highly recommend using this dog daycare again for any future trips planned to Aspen. Knowing that our furry friends are in good hands gives us peace of mind and allows us to enjoy our time away. Thank you Aspen Dog Nanny for their excellent service and care for our beloved pets.
Heather and Keven are great! We have to travel a lot for work and were looking for a place that our two, high energy dogs would feel more like being at a home away from home (rather than a kennel). Aspen Dog Nanny is amazing for this. They take such great care of our pups and even make them better food than we do at home! Moose and Bear are always excited to be dropped off for their time at Heather and Keven's. Thank you!
Laura was the best nanny we could ever get! She helped with my 3 month old boy while we went skiing. She is a super professional, caring, happy and loves babies! My baby was smiling the whole Time while she was with him. We will definitely hire her again on our next trip to Aspen. Thank you so much!
Aspen Nannies was a great experience from start to finish! We were apprehensive at the onset as we have only used a nanny we knew personally or were referred to, but Aspen Nannies were professional and assured us with all our questions. Our daughter is apprehensive meeting new people, but LOVED Laura immediately and happily went to the park with her within the first hour of meeting her. Laura helped administer medicine and was even so kind to do some of our daughter’s laundry when she dirtied her PJs one night. We would definitely use Laura and Aspen Nannies next time we go back.
Laura from Aspen Nannie’s was absolutely incredible. Not only did Aspen Nannie’s do all the work to match us with someone fully vetted and qualified, they found us a sitter who addressed our son’s needs without direction. Laura went above and beyond, and we wish we could take her back to Denver with us!! Worth every penny and don’t hesitate to contact aspen nannies.
We have had nothing but the loveliest experience with the team and delightful caretakers of Aspen Nannies! This is our third season working with Emily, Hannah and Sarah and each time we have been so pleased by the incredible nannies they’ve matched us with and how they make every effort to ensure our boys not only have the most responsible, engaging, age appropriate and loving person assigned to them but also that there is consistency of care as much as possible throughout our stay. Working with Aspen Nannies has given us the balance, support and consistency to make us feel like every trip is like a home away from home experience. We can’t wait for many more adventures with this super crew!!!
Katie was the MOST WONDERFUL ever! She went above and beyond with my kids every day, ice cream, coloring books and all the park trips! She took excellent care of my son's diabetes. She communicated well and always arrived on time. Thank you so much Katie for your hard work!
Oh my goodness, Laura and Karla were fantastic! We ended up needing an extra day, and Aspen Nannies quickly filled the spot with Karla (on the weekend). The rest of the week Laura worked with us. They definitely both have a natural gift of working with babies. Aspen Nannies was expensive for us, but I’m so happy we went ahead and booked with them. Communication was top notch, and they clearly hire exceptional nannies. Now we are home and wishing we had Laura and Karla in Mississippi with us! Ha! Thanks for a great week with our little one!
We are happy with the service from Aspen Nannies, and intended to use them again on future trips. We were matched with the same nanny for 1 week, who was caring and always on time. My family was able to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind. Everyone involved did a good job communicating, and managing expectations. Highly recommend their service.
Really happy with Aspen Nannies, very reliable. Good sitters, we’ve used them at least 20 times and are very happy with them!
Aspen Nannies were wonderful during our ski trip in January. They placed us with wonderful nannies and we’re easy to work with when we needed schedule adjustments. They are extremely responsive and helpful, even after you’ve finished your vacation. We will definitely be using them again!
We’ve used Aspen Nannies every year over the holiday season for Christmas & NYE. Their sitters are professional & great with newborns & toddlers of all ages. I would highly recommend their services.
The Barnyard has been the BEST discovery of our lives since moving to the valley. Leslie and the entire team take care of our girl better than we could have ever imagined! If you need someone to watch your pup, the Barnyard is the place to go!
I can't say enough good things about this place! My dog is a regular visitor, and he absolutely loves it. The staff is friendly and welcoming. They always greet us with a smile and make sure my dog feels at home. I appreciate the level of care they provide to both of us. One of my favorite things is that they send me pictures regularly, so I can see how much fun my dog is having. It's reassuring to know he's in a safe and happy environment. The facilities are well-maintained and spacious, giving the dogs plenty of room to play and rest comfortably. They separate small dogs and big dogs (which I appreciate) and let you know if your dog has a “best friend”. Overall, I highly recommend this dog boarding place. They've been wonderful, and I trust them completely with my furry BFF. Thanks to the whole team for taking such good care of my pup!
It’s so nice to have such a professional and trustworthy facility for my dog to go to for daycare. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. He is happy to go and seems to do well in the playful environment with other dogs. I love getting to see pictures of him enjoying his day. Thanks for taking great care of my boy!
Skye LOVES going to the Barnyard. She knows where we are going several blocks before we get there and the Husky talking begins! She is always excited to play with the other dogs and happy and tired with I pick her up. ALWAYS a great experience with a great staff.
I live in Denver but travel all over the state for work. I never leave my pup behind though so she gets to go to doggie daycares all around the state. The Barn Yard is definitely her favorite! She can’t get enough of the awesome stream they have! It’s pretty tough to tire out my dog but she’s always exhausted at the end of a Barn Yard day! Plus I love getting their photos showing all the dogs playing.
We took a chance on a last minute boarding for our pup while we were skiing. The team at the Barn Yard was super accommodating and friendly and our dog had a great time. Perfect for skiing!
Last week I had the pleasure to visit The Barnyard 3 - 4 times and was pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness of the facility (no wet dog smell), the warm/happy staff, and most importantly just how happy the dogs seemed to be. I witnessed quite a few dog drop-offs and pick-ups and was amazed at just how smoothly the entire operation functioned. If you are looking for a clean reputable place to board your dogs for a day or a month, I certainly would heartily recommend The Barnyard!
Brought my dogs here for a week. Upon picking them up I noticed dried blood on one of my dogs back. Then I found a couple nice puncture wounds. It was never brought to my attention that my dog was attacked by another dog. I have brought my dog to the vet and was told it’s pretty serious and that it must’ve been a big dog. My other dog came home with a bad case of kennel cough. Not sure what’s going on at the barn yard but I am unsure about bringing my dogs here every again. I heard a dog was badly mauled here just a week after this situation with my pup. Ever since the new owners it definitely seems like they need to get it together because the barnyard has not been the same since. I will be going to Glenwood from now on as I found the prices are better and people are much more friendly. Customer service is huge especially when you’re dropping your dog off with people and trusting them. I would not trust the staff at the barf yard. I have reached out with emails and phone calls and being ignored for a week straight.
Our lab, Cooper, absolutely LOVES the BarnYard. We picked him up today after two days of boarding and he was happy as could be. Would have surely hung around longer if we gave him the opportunity - so.many.friends. The facility is clean, well-managed and staffed with people who clearly love their animals. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute bringing Cooper back time and again.
Was able to take our dog for a week on late notice. Our dog was happy and well taken care of. Will certainly be back - everyone we spoke with were very helpful. Very reasonable prices too!
I love how Jacky pays attention to detail. She made sure that she knew all the details of our 2 dogs, 2 cats, 3 goats, and hamster--their treats, feeding (possible allergies) times, routine, behavior, playtime, and so much more. I never worried a minute while I was out of town because she had everything under control. It was such a comfort knowing that Jacky was at our home caring for them. You can just see how much she truly loves them. I would HIGHLY recommend Jacky and her pet sitting services to ALL my friends with their furry family members. Don’t even worry about stressing or planning for a trip to the kennel, just let Jacky come over and take care of your little furry family at home. Also, she will even update you as often as you’d like regarding your pets and their behavior. Jacky is trustworthy, conscientious, reliable, and truly cares about the health and wellbeing of all animals.
I am so grateful to Jacky for taking such exceptional care of our 22 year old Conure Sebastian. She came to our house twice prior to our time away to introduce herself to our bird and get to know his needs. She really took the worry away and sent texts and pictures twice daily. It was so nice knowing my little guy would have the out of cage exercise and interaction he needs everyday! Jacky is caring, knowledgeable, trustworthy and reliable. She even brought in the mail and the house looked terrific upon our return! We will be recommending Jacky to all of our friends and I will be recommending Jacky to my customers at the doggie daycare I work at. Thanks so much Jacky you are wonderful!
I am very pleased with the exceptional level of care The Peaceful Pet has provided to my animal family. Jacky has cared for our elder dog, kitty and four horses. She came on two separate occasions to become oriented and learn their routine. She communicated regularly while we were away, sending updates, pictures, and asking questions if clarification was needed. Jacky is knowledgeable, professional and reliable. I highly recommend her services.
Jacky is an incredible and compassionate human being! She takes the time to sit with your pet (in my case, 3 dogs!) so they can learn to accept her and Vice versa). My dogs are hard to walk together and Jacky comes with CHEER, looking forward to spending the extra time it takes with them. She’s professional and not just “some kid” coming to walk your dog. She’s licensed, bonded and has paperwork for you to sign. The real deal and takes everything in stride. I’ve been able to count on her for LAST MINUTE situations. She’s an amazing woman and loves your pets as you do! If there were 20 stars, I’d give them all to her! I highly recommend her and you will not be disappointed!!!!
Jacky was just fantastic, such a nice lady, reliable, professional ... and most important, just great with our two dogs! She gave them lots of love and very long walks, gave us feedback ... just a perfect experience. We were in the Carbondale, CO and she was just perfect!!! Thanks so much Jacky, we hope to see you again!!!
My pugs, Carl and Louie, have adopted Jacky as their own. They love their time with her (even early in the morning, once they get going) and benefit from all the walks and helpful tips she shares with me!
Perfection! This place is SPOTLESS with a staff that truly cares and the dogs know it! We had a 4 day overnight board and could not have asked for more from Pet Au Paire and staff. Ricky Bobby & Shake n Bake had the time of their lives! We strongly recommend the adventure and off leash walks. They had so much fun playing with the other sweet dogs (I think they made some lifelong friends) and slept well every night. We just picked them up and they are out cold exhausted!! Thank you PAP team - we will be back next year for a week with every extra we can order!
We frequent crested butte a LOT with our pups and usually we just take them on our adventures with us or leave them in the car (for winter and cool weather. They’re husky mixes they love it pls don’t come at me) but recently we’ve gotten super into mountain biking which isn’t the most dog friendly activity and found pet au pairs! They were great! Our pups came back so tired and ready to sleep and chill at our camp site. Our bigger pup yeti was able to get his nails clipped which was awesome! Most places you have to do a trial run but pet au pairs as long as your dogs are friendly and up to date on vaccines they will take them!!! They also do adventure off leash walks which we debated doing as well but definitely will try the next time we’re in town! We enjoyed it so much we booked the next day last minute. Our pups were SO excited to return the next day. 10/10 recommend.
We travelled to Created Butte from Texas for a week’s stay. We booked our dog for a week at Pet Au Pairs. Our evening flight was cancelled and we had to fly the next evening, with an 88 year old wheelchair bound mother and an Alzheimer’s stricken young adult on Saturday night to get there. We brought the dog Sunday and they were closed. Another day down. I called leaving several messages and spoke to Lexi an assistant. She said she couldn’t find our reservation but had already charged our credit card for a deposit. What? Finally we reached Meg, the owner, to tell her that we would no longer be coming as our vacation was now half way over. All Meg did was tell me how irresponsible we were for not calling during our messed up travel days to let them know. Maybe that’s true but she had no sympathy or human regard for the strain of our trip and that they were not available to take our dog once we did arrive on the Sunday. They kept our $238 deposit without discussion. I suggest you all check out other means of boarding your dogs as Pet Au Pairs will not be willing to work with you if you have unexpected circumstances. Never again Pet Au Pair. Terrible customer service.
My long haired dog Lucy was very matted and in need of a groom. Did a very very good job of getting all of her Matt’s out she came out so pretty and soft I recommend anyone in need of a groom to go here if your in the gunnison valley
We used pet au pairs for two days of doggy day care for our 9 month old giant schnauzer while we were skiing. I can’t say enough positive things about this place! It felt small, clean, and they were so attentive! The staff was amazing, seemed to really care for our pup and was eager to show us how and what she did during the day. She came back tired and excited to return the next day. We will certainly be using again should we ever need care while in town again!
Meg and Dylan were absolutely amazing with my girl Ava. She can get overwhelmed in some of the larger doggie day care settings, but thrived in the smaller, more one on one environment at Pet Au Pairs. They kept me updated with pictures via text throughout the day, and the daycare report cards at the end of the day when I picked her up were so wonderful. This is Ava having a "conversation" in the office. She had a wonderful time!
We had an amazing experience with Pet Au Pairs! We were in town for a ski trip and dropped our 8 year old cocker spaniel off for a few days. She absolutely loved doggy daycare and came home exhausted and happy.
Meg and her team are awesome! We’ve never felt so comfortable boarding our dog and he had a great time! He really loved the off leash walks.
Meg helped me with training my dachshund puppy Schnitzel. I felt she was firm but patient.She taught him to walk the on the leash and stay in place, etc. I was delighted that he responded to what she taught him and he is still doing well. The only issues I have with him have been because I'm the one that is not well trained and usually any bad behavior is because I allowed it. Bad Human!! Good Schnitzel!!
Meg and her whole team are so fantastic! We have a cat and a bearded dragon and we trust both under the care of anyone at Pet au Pairs. We travel quite a bit and it’s nice to not have to worry about anything while we are gone.
Oh be Dogful dogs live their best lives in an environment of love and devotion. The ranch is a unique and special place. Thank you Leigh, Amber, Caroline, and Tamara for your kindness and dedication.
These guys are great!! They took great care of our pup while we were away, and were attentive to our dogs needs, when they noticed our puppy might want a little space from the other dogs they found a way to put him in a different area where he could relax a little! I know our dog was in good caring hands when we were gone and we'll use them every time we're in CB!!
We had a great experience at OBD. They were very accommodating, and it seems like our dog really enjoyed her time there. Thank you!
Leigh and her staff are great. Our dogs are always so happy to go to daycare and come home whooped from playing all day. We appreciate the team’s hard work keeping our babies safe and happy.
Maddie misses this daycare tremendously. She came here every Tuesday and Thursday for 2 years before we moved out of the valley. I would take the bus down to gunni for work before OBD opened but they would pick up Maddie from my home for daycare. She loved the outdoor space even when it was subzero temps! Denver is a bit warm for her. When walking Maddie in CB, I’d run into employees from OBD that would come up and pet her. All of my neighbors sent their pups here. I’m sad we don’t have facilities like this in Denver.
We used the daycare for our 2 boys while we went skiing during the week (visiting from out of town). Super chill crew, nice facility and our boys had lots of fun. Will be back when we're in the area again! Thanks guys!
Words cannot describe how much I love this place and the people who work there. Have been taking my dogs here for about 6 years and even though my fuzzy children are a serious handful they always take great care of them and make them feel loved. Thank you OBD!
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our dog stayed here while we were traveling on a family vacation. He did great and we felt like he was in good hands. I trust them and would definitely recommend to others.
Great place to drop your dog off for the day or overnight. They have a large outdoor playground for the dogs to play in. Our Golden Doodle is always pooped at the end of the day after playing hard all day!
We left our pup here when we were shooting an 8 hour wedding day in Crested Butte and they were amazing! They took the time to meet him and introduce him to the other dogs, and he was super tired when we picked him up. Will definitely use them again if we're back in the area!
The facility is just okay, not that clean, but I guess we can’t be too picky as it is a barn. Their layout is each dog has their own private space with fence to separate with other dogs, it’s quite big, but they don’t get to play with each others, so basically just in a big kennel / cage. Which I’m okay with, as I guess they’re safer that way if the place don’t have enough employees to make sure the dogs don’t fight. Just that when your pup is there, don’t expect they’ll get any fun or play times with. My #1 concern and complaints was : when I come to pick I up my pup (around noon), I asked the lady working there if he ate his breakfast, she said she “didn’t know” and said other employees was on duty (Like how do you not have an effective way to keep track of this??). And then we found out he was extremely thirsty and hungry, he ate twice or 3 times his normal amount crazy fast (normally he’s a picky boy and doesn’t eat alot), and drank as if he hasn’t been given any water the past day. He seems restless and frantic and was way too happy to leave. We almost certain that our poor boy was starving and dehydrated the whole time he was there, while employees have no idea if he has eaten or not. Very irresponsible. Not the end of the world, but we won’t come back nor will we recommend it for anyone.
Wonderful facility with fabulous employees. Clean stalls and great quality hay. awesome indoor arena
I was nervous leaving my Riley girl at first, but once i had a phone call with MO, i was at ease! He answered all my questions. Great service & safe place for the pup! Will come back if we are ever this way again! Thank you for taking great care of my baby for daycare.
I'm not gonna lie, we were really nervous about finding a kennel for our puppy who was only 6 months old at the time even though we only needed it for 3 hours. But once we met Moe and saw how great he was with our pup it made our decision so much easier and gave us so much relief. Everyone was SO kind and we absolutely recommend their services to anyone in the glenwood area!
We sent our dog to Skyline Ranch for daycare for two days while we skied. It was a very beautiful and fun place, Moe was very friendly and flexible with our schedule and our dog gave the place her stamp of approval. Highly recommended!
Lots of space for the dogs to run! And the employees are super nice. Our dog always comes back in great shape. We love this place!
Don't let the slightly outdated website, and lack of kennel photos stear you away. I loved this kennel for my two Aussies! MO is so cool and friendly, you can tell he's a true dog whisperer. The kennels are large runs w shelter inside and out, with extremely high fencing, which is perfect for a boarding facility. This design prohibits any unfortunate doggy scruffs or esacapes. MO offered to stay a bit after closing for us as well, in case we needed more time at the theme park. Loved Glenwood Springs, and if we ever make it back, we'll use Skyline again!
We have 18 lb fufu dogs from California who needed to be kenneled for 5 days and our fur babies did very well there. The folks are so wonderful & friendly. We highly recommend it for any size dog! Most of the dogs are 40+ lbs.
Caring and friendly people. Great place to take your dog!
They were very friendly and obviously care a lot about animals. My dog stayed one night and seemed to be happy when I picked him up. Thanks!
Jenny was incredibly kind and accommodating! We were looking last minute, on the day of, to find someone to watch our puppy and she got back to us immediately. She was very welcoming and also fed our dog! We received updates and also pictures of our puppy throughout the duration of his stay, and he was well taken care of! He met her puppy as well and they bonded quickly. We are so appreciative of your services and effort to fit us into your schedule, Jenny! Thank you again for being incredible!!
Jenny is so wonderful and I felt completely comfortable leaving my pups with her for an extended period of time, which I usually don’t do! She’s sent tons of great photos and updates and I can tell my pups are enjoying their vacation. I would definitely recommend this service to any dog parents!
can’t say enough about Jenny and her service! I was driving through Colorado and had to place my dog for a few hours so I could visit some cool places in Glenwood Springs. Jenny made this all possible. She was easy to communicate, very friendly and took such good care of my dog, including photos and text through the sitting.if you ever drive through Glenwood Springs, I need some help or want somebody trusting watching your pet dont hesitate to call Jenny!!
Jenny was the best! We were doing a road trip passing through Colorado and a few of the spots we wanted to check out are not dog friendly. Jenny came through and provided great care for our best friends. Next time we're in Colorado I know who to turn to. Highly recommend.
We came to glenwood springs for a family vacation and needed a dog sitter for when we went to the adventure park/caves. Our rover fell through last minute so we reached out to Jenny and thankfully she was able to take him! She went pictures, took him on a hike, made sure he ate. Pretty sure he had just as much, if not more, fun than we did!!! Would absolutely work with her again. Keep in mind it is a bit outside of the main town but I believe she travels and it was worth it for us! Thanks, Jenny!!!
Bella was so calm and I was certain she’d be a nervous Nelly when we picked her up! Excited to know Jenny is here, will definitely book every time we’re in town!
😢 never called me back but she may not be servicing Garfield county …
Mountain pals is in unique, even “boutique“ sort of service. You could be dropping your dog off at some doggy daycare, where he or she spends part of their day in a kennel and part of their day running around a 30’ ring with other dogs. Not here, your dog will be enjoying a day in the wilderness running in a pack as nature intended. There are risks involved here. If you want your dog to enjoy life as a nature intended you need to be sure that your dog has been trained or naturally has the desire to stay with the pack. Rebecca treats your animals like one of the family Including opening our home to them. Instead of a cage, they hang out on the couch. Dogs enjoy a great diet, lots of exercise, sunshine, and the company of others. We all appreciate the photos that Rebecca sends out of the dogs throughout the day. There’s nothing more fun than getting a picture of your pooch enjoying his day while you’re at work It’s reassuring and it makes us feel like a better pet owners. Rather than kenneling a dog and seeing that somebody stopped by to let him pee, our dogs is out having the day that I wish we could! The pictures, the excellent personal service, transportation services and most importantly the expert facilitation of socialization in a pack setting and mentality using the Colorado wilderness as her classroom, Rebecca is hands down the best at what she does. Im not one to write fan letters but this one is merited. Rebecca is very dedicated to her business, to customer service but most importantly to improving the life’s of the animals in her care. A great service.
The dog sitting service met all my expectations. She took great care of my dog and provided daily hikes, which ensured he got sufficient exercise. I appreciated their method of slowly introducing the dogs to each other, as it made me feel confident about my dog's safety. They were reliable and well-organized.
If you have been searching for someone in the mountains to care for your dog look no further. My three year old lab has been going to daycare at Mountain Pals since he was six months old and it has been nothing but a positive experience all around! Rebecca is very accommodating with booking + pickup/drop-offs, payment is easy, daily pictures from the walk and updates about his new pup friends are the best to get each day while I'm at work. It is also fun to track his miles on his GPS collar that he wears on his adventure hikes at Mountain Pals. The only problem is now he ALWAYS wants to be at daycare with Rebecca and his pup friends. :)
Rebecca does an amazing job caring for our two miniature Heelers. They go on daily hikes, which they love tremendously. Rebecca is very caring and LOVES dogs. She has been our only pet sitter since 2009, we like her that much! She always texts us with updates and pictures. When she pulls up to pick up our dogs, both go running to her with excitement. Mountain Pals has always taken the utmost responsibility and care for Midge and Dickey Bob, as well as Josie and Donna Jean in the past.
Mountain Pals is a great pet sitting service. Rebecca always goes above and beyond taking care of our dog. She takes him on a great hike daily and gives me updates throughout the day. He does wear a GPS collar for extra security. Great company, super reliable, safe, and so much fun for our dog!
My Stevedog loves mountain pals. Rebecca provides an awesome mountain dog retreat. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
I cannot recommend Rebecca enough for all your pet sitting. She watches my special-needs dog and does the most fantastic job. She has a lot of knowledge when it comes to dogs in general, and I feel totally safe and secure with my dog in her care.
Rebecca has taken my dogs on multiple adventures! I always feel safe when they were in her care!
I needed a dog sitter on short notice and Rebecca at mountain Pals came through! Rebecca kept me updated while I was away and sent lots of pictures and videos of my dog having a great time.
Rebecca has been watching our dogs for over seven years and I can't imagine leaving them with anyone else. They both have special dietary and medication needs. They aren't the most energetic dogs and she does a good job of balancing exercise with rest. The Mountain Pals service is 1000% times better than any boarding facility because she gives our dogs real outdoor exercise and one on one attention. Both of our dogs love visiting Rebeccas for both day visits and overnights.
My little guy loves his daycare. Everytime we roll up he knows exactly where he is going and can't get inside fast enough! The caregivers are so sweet, and as a little dog owner, I appreciate a daycare that does vetting interviews. The pictures taken by the crew are spectacular and we look forward to his daily report cards. 10/10 would recommend this daycare!
My dog, Cork had an amazing fun time! The staff pays attention to your dog as an individual and their specific needs, I was pleased with the outstanding level of care. When I am in the area again, I will definitely bring my dog to Wanderlust. I really liked that they sent me a report card letting me know how he was doing during his stay with photos. I also felt very comforted knowing he and all the other dogs there had gone through an interview process that he was safe.
We did a meet and greet and full day daycare session prior to making a reservation for our vacation which they were approved for the facility. After two hours on the day of our flight, we were contacted at the airport that our dogs had to be picked up because they did not get along with “one or two dogs”. On our intake form I explicitly wrote not to separate the two because they are very bonded. They did not follow those instructions and also did not give time for the acclimation of the animals. In our past boarding experiences there has not been any trouble. I am very disappointed in this facility and I would not recommend. Instructions are provided from the owners who know their dogs. My senior dogs were to go out with the appropriate group which was the older group. This also was not followed and I attribute this to over booking at the facility and the inexperience of the handlers. The accusations are not only false but show the inadequate staffing and ability of this business. A dog boarding and daycare facility should only be managed by experienced staff. Our dogs are members of our family and rules should be followed to not allow for overbooking of dogs that add to stress for the animals. Having to cancel our vacation due to poor ownership, poor business practices, and lying about the circumstances is unacceptable.
WOW! Super impressed with the response time of the owner with getting my dog in with fairly short notice. They have an INCREDIBLE facility. Amazing staff... TRUE dog lovers. Everything is very closely monitored and very clean. They have amazing open single rooms for the dogs and a bunk bed area for the dogs. It is so cute! I highly highly recommend this place. The outdoors area is wonderful. They send pictures in the dogs report card. I have been to many doggy day cares and this one is BYFAR the best one. Defiantly take your dog here!
Great place for dog socializing, exercise and to be safe when the dog parents are busy. Wonderful layout to ensure dogs can be grouped accordingly. Safe indoor & outdoor spaces with plenty of space to run and play, and if your fur- baby wants to rest- they have that option too. A great option for pet owners locally or those visiting. Call to make a reservation for daycare or boarding. Wanderlust cares to ensure all dogs go through a screening to keep all happy and safe. Time effort and care are behind their doors. Hard work go into building this wonderful option for dogs and their guardians. Knowledgeable owner & staff for safe happy care. Recommended!!!
This. Place. Is. AMAZING. We had to leave to California for several days for an unexpected death in my family. We were so worried about leaving our lab for a week. This place was just wonderful. Not only did they send several photos a day, but they got back to us immediately any time we wanted a check in. Our dog came home after 7 days clean, happy and healthy. She clearly had a ton of fun as evidenced by the many photos of her playing and then relaxing calmly in her kennel free bunk area. In terms of the kennel free environment -- it is so nice. This place is SPOTLESS. The photos of her bunking with her buddies (other dogs, if you as the parent are okay with that) warmed my heart. She wasn't alone at night but instead snuggling with 2 other mellow dogs in the big open rooms. We are so glad this place is available when we need it. It is pricey, but you're paying for a kennel free, safe & clean environment with excellent supervision, photo updates and excellent customer service.
Everyone was so welcoming and professional with us and our pup. Great place to entrust the care of your dog.
Expensive but what kennel around here isn't? The place is well designed for indoor and outdoor activities. They hold a meet & greet of dogs to be kenneled to assess dog friendliness. The staff is experienced and did a great job communicating with me on a daily basis.
We board two dogs occasionally and the over experience has been fantastic. They start with an "interview" and explain how the dogs will be cared for completely. Really pleased with pricing/membership options and most importantly, the dogs come home happy! Highly recommed.
We have lived in several different states and have used a number of daycares for our dogs. Wanderlust has been our favorite. Everyone there has been pleasant to interact with and our dogs are always happy to go.
My two pups absolutely hate getting their nails cut and being bathed. Kristina at Shear Bliss somehow convinces them its a good idea :) We have been a few times, she is mobile so its so convenient. My dogs always get excited to see her. Very professional and takes good care of my pups!
Kristina took precious care of my Lucy before we departed Aspen. Lucy was cleaned and buffed with flower to boot. Lucy happily enjoyed the van. Kristina was kind and loving to Lucy who enjoyed a few treats too😉I could tell that Kristina is a dog lover and I was Lucky to meet a dog of her own. …
Kathrine is awesome, well worth the expense as my dog was more comfortable here at the house. She has state of the art equipment and is very detailed. Highly recommend.
We are so excited to have Shear Bliss in our valley! Nothing better than having Kristina pull into our driveway and get these furbutts cleaned up. Each time she has come it has been an easy and seamless experience. Thank you Shear Bliss! We will see you again very soon :)
What a great service in Roaring Fork Valley! She came to my house, did an exceptional job on my dog. Very friendly and professional and on time! My dog was well taken care of. I highly recommend this company!
Fabulous! Best place for my boys to get pampered
