Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
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
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
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.

At least 20$ per visit, $35/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!
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.
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!
We really loved this place at first! It was so helpful to have a place to bring our dog on crazy work days. But then we started having a few negative experiences… The first being, I picked my dog up and he had an incredible limp and swelling in his leg. I asked the staff what happened and all they said was he ran into one of the hard pipes in the play yard. It was alittle frustrating but after three days of limping and a trip to the vet later he healed up okay. The next problem we had here was just a few weeks later. I picked up my dog and he had a large bloody and infected bite taken out of his neck. I couldn’t believe I wasn’t called or informed. I confronted the desk and they told me to keep an eye on it over the next few days... These two incidences lead me to think that the staff doesn’t watch the dogs very closely. The last straw for me was when I picked my dog up for the last time and the owner stopped me and said “my dog had a bumpy day”…. I asked her to please explain the situation… She said my dog attempted to snap at one of the tenets in the yard. Being that this is a first for my dog, I asked her to explain what happened so I could have a better understanding and she asked that my dog and I don’t continue to come there. My dog is incredibly liked by Aspen Animal Shelter and Hightails… I commute from Rifle to Aspen to work and sometimes want to take my dog to a place where he can run and play instead of being home alone all day. I have a large, highly trained, high energy bird dog, who loves to play with others. I couldn’t help but feel like the Barnyard thought my dog was too high energy for them and they tried to make up a reason for us not to come back because none of their story lined up.
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!!!
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!!
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 …
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!
My dog LOVES the team at Walkin the Dog! We've been to a lot of daycares around the country, and he is always the most thrilled when he sees the handlers at WTD <3
We had some last minute plans that required us to put our 9 mo old Boxer pup in day care. Merrill and Marissa were amazing! Our pup got a lot of attention and exercise and came back to us completely wiped out! This place is great, highly recommend!!
My 6-month-old puppy, full of energy, is at daycare 2-3 times a week. She loves it. The owner and employees are nice and friendly!
This place is terrible and the owner is one of the meanest people. She somehow gets her 1 star reviews deleted off yelp. There used to be a bunch but now they’re gone for some reason.
Awesome place. Awesome staff. My dog jumps out of the car and races to the front door every time and loves being there comes home happy and tired.
Such a cool (and clean!) facility! Very friendly people!
They are the best people and truly care about the animals. 100% recommend them!!
My dog has been going here for daycare since she was a puppy and we couldn't ask for a better place. The owners and staff are all great
Merrill and Marissa are just incredible folks with dogs. Our boys are always so excited to stop in for a day.
Our Ellie has had the most positive experience With Walkin The Dog in daycare and overnight stays. Wouldn't use anyone else! We love them and she loves them.
Great and affordable place for animal boarding. We brought our dog Clyde in and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. My only complaint would be we left his bed with him for his stay and we received it back smelling horribly of cat urine. I think it was a simple mistake these folks are great and very friendly.
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 ! ❤️🙏
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.
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!
This was our first time leaving our 1.5 year old Goldendoodle and we were so nervous! Heather and Keven made us feel so good with pictures and updates while we were away. Knowing that our dog was not in a small kennel and able to roam around outside with other dogs all day allowed us to relax. We will be using you again in the future!
Heather, Kevin and their amazing fur family has been the best thing to happen to us once we relocated to Snowmass for the summer. They are so incredible with the pups, it’s hard for our 10 month old lab to come home sometimes! Whenever he sees Kevin or Heather during pick ups, he dashes into their cars at the speed of light! He simply LOVES it and we LOVE it because it gives us the freedom to take quick weekend trips without any worry or guilt. We are so very grateful to this wonderful home Heather built! We love the aspen dog nanny!
My dog was so happy and rested upon return. They sent some great photos during his stay and I know he was well taken care of!!! Thank you AspenDogNanny, we will be back!
Luna is literally the best pet sitter in the valley. She is kind, calm, gentle and reliable. She also clips nails if needed, sleeps at your house, and walks dogs daily. Thank you Luna for caring for our whole pet family over the years. Rabbit, cat, dog, and hedgehog!!
very nice, and respectable, reasonable prices, and reliable. As well as lots of flexibility. When it came to knowledge about dogs she knows pretty much anything about them and helped a lot with diet and training tips.
Great experience, they got me in for an appointment quickly and did a great job on my grumpy old rescue dog, Teddy. He is easily stressed and tends to be nippy. They didn’t charge me extra, only $95, and he seemed fine, not stressed out at all. He looks great just in time for the holidays, and they even gave him a cute bandana. They are friendly and great with dogs, definitely recommend.
So kind, my dog was picking at her foot as we were driving through town from Denver and we stopped at this place. She pulled out a thorn and cut Marley‘s nails in less than five minutes and it was a fabulous experience. Highly recommend.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! I'm in the pet industry, and I must say YEAH!! My boys (who were extremely matted, due to many health issues over the last year) are old and do not like to be groomed. Angela and Lacey did an amazing job. The boys were mat free and silky smooth. Their paws were perfectly groomed. I cannot say enough. Complete game changer for my sweet boys. 🙏
WARNING. DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS. I took my collie mix here for the first time since moving to the valley from Denver. I have never had an issue with grooming. I took my dog, Murphy, in to just get brushed out and washed and have a few of her tangles brushed out. This dog is not severly matted in any way. I very regulalry brush her and bathe her. I asked Angela to just brush out any tangles and trim the fur on her hindqurters and get her looking fresh! After dropping Murphy off I got a call asking me to sign a "Red Flag Waiver" for dogs that are severely matted and need to have matts shaved out in case of injury. I told her over the phone to NOT use any shaving device on my animal. Muph has had the same level of tangles when I have taken her to a trusted groomer in denver and NEVER have I been asked to sign a waiver or have they asked me to shave the dog. I told Angela to not shave the dog but to just lightly cut out any matts that needed to be cut out before brushing them out. I get a call shortly after to Angela telling me she had cut Murphy's ear and it had bled really badly and she had called a few vets. I was shocked. I Immediately went to get the dog and Angela handed me the fur matt she had cut off of Murphy's head. She did not just cut this animal. She actually scalped this animal. The gash was red and wide and straight to her head. I have never seen anything like this. For something like this to happen makes absolutely no sense to me. Angela immediately took a photo of the fur clump for her "own records" and told me the matt was so close to her head that she couldnt help but cut her. This is not true. Nothing excuses knowingly cutting an animal. This cut was negligent. I immediately took Murphy to Carbondale Animal Hospital where they had to sedate her under Anetheisia and give her stitches to fix the wound. She will be in a cone for two weeks. Angela asked me to follow up with her and let me know how Murphy was doing so I gave her a call back. I told her the severity of the situation and let her know I would like her to take responsibility for the vet bills. She immediately gaslit me and told me that when she called me and I told her not to shave the dog - that I gave her verbal consent to use scissors on my dog and hurt her. She has refused to take responsibility for this traumatic experience. *** I worked with the bookkeeper to settle this matter. She treated me with kindness and this was made right with me within 48 hours of the incident.
The Shaggy Dog staff is very kind and friendly. They have always done a great job on our pup. I always recommend them.
WARNING - UNTRAINED GROOMERS! My dog was massacred by an untrained groomer here. As is typical for a golden doodle, my dog had some slight matting around her neck (from her collar) and on her tail, where she had long hair. The groomer SHAVED MY DOG TO THE SKIN where she was matted. She looks absolutely ridiculous. The owner admitted they made a mistake, but made no other consolations. No refund. I've had my pets groomed hundreds of times. BIG CONGRATS to The Shaggy Dog for winning the award for the most untrained groomers and worst cut ever.
I take both of my dogs and Angela has always taken very good care of them. Never have had any issues and she is always positive and is in communication. We love Shaggy Dog and Angela!
Angela has been an amazing groomer. With so little groomers in this valley it’s good to be able to have a local shop to support! We have been seeing her for over a year and she has always done her best.
I could not recommend a groomer LESS. Scalped my dog. SCALPED. They claim they will not pay after having to take my dog to the ER VET for STITCHES. Angela might be the most unpleasant and worst human I have ever had to cross paths with. DO NOT SEND YOUR DOG TO THE SHAGGY GROOMERS. I wish I could give 0 stars but apparently google thinks there are redeemable qualities about everything, well not Angela and The Shaggy Scalpers.
I had a really good experience here. Angela took the time to walk me through grooming and ear care. My dog went home looking really nice!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot recommend Aspen Unleashed enough! Nicole went above and beyond to take care of our furry family member on our wedding day. From the initial consultation to the actual day, everything was seamless. She ensured our dog was pampered, exercised, and included in our special day. It was such a relief knowing our pup was in loving hands while we celebrated. Thank you, Aspen Unleashed, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable for both us and our dog!
Highly recommend hiring Nicole if you're considering including your dog in your wedding! Amazing stress-free experience. Nicole made sure our dog was well cared for throughout the day. Thank you!
Nicole is the best dog sitter out there! She takes great care of your dog. I would highly recommend her!
Aspen Unleashed was amazing. With a young child we made a last minute decision to leave for the day and they took Jasper with short notice, kept him the whole day, sent lots of pics throughout the day and I was happy he was cuddled and well cared for. Highly recommend!
