Dog Sitters in North Avondale, CO

In the last eight months of consistently using their service, Cindy and Sam of Pueblo's Best Pet Care have provided nothing short of exceptional care to my dog. They are reliable, compassionate and trustworthy professionals and I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a petsitter.

We have been using Sam and Cindy's services for almost a year. Each time they have been available to take care of our animals while we are out of town.our boys absolutely love them. We plan to continue using their services and love how they treat our animals.

Sam and Cindy are the friendliest most dependable pet sitters. Our three dogs think they are family and that makes our days at work or our days out of town on vacation seemless knowing they are being well cared for.

Mr Lopez, you have never done business with Pueblo's Best Pet Care. What interest do you have in leaving a 3 star rating?, our only one ever. Thank you sir, and I hope you will someday use the services you leave ratings on, then you would actually be qualified to enter an opinion that might benefit the consumer.

Mr Dumas, we hope someday to actually meet you someday and if you have any pets we'd love to sit for them.

Thanks for your five-star review. We really appreciate your feedback.

Once again Elite Paws were amazing taking great care of my old dogs! I can see photos in the yard where they are happy!!! When I picked them up they showed affection to the owners letting me know their stay was good! 5 stars should really be 10 stars!

This is the best place we have ever boarded our dog, "Goose"!! And we have used at least 5 different places throughout the country over the years. The whole property is very gorgeous and new and clean. The dogs each get their own room, not a crate or a "run", but a room with a full human-sized secure locking door. There is astroturf and they also have grass I think and they let our dog out of his room and walked him 4 or 5 times a day! The owners took really good care of him and spent a lot of time with him. I know this because when I called on the phone the lady who answered (owner I think) knew all about Goose without looking him up and when we came to pick him up the other owner (husband) knew he loved belly rubs cause he spent time with him! They also were very attentive to Goose's needs. I am so happy to have a place in Pueblo where I can know my dog is safe and well cared for while I travel.

I boarded my two dogs and cat here during a recent trip of mine. I usually don't board my animals, so I was a bit nervous. The staff is fantastic and you can tell they really love animals. Both my dogs and cat were happy and healthy when I picked them up. My cat didn't even want to leave. I especially like that the boarding kennels are individual rooms rather than chain link fencing to prevent the dogs from fence fighting the whole time. Highly recommend and will board my animals here again as it's necessary.

I was actually visiting the facility in a business capacity but was impressed at how clean and well laid out it was. Very nice staff, proud to show off their accomodations and off the beaten path... You feel like you are at a country club for our furry friends. If you are looking for services for your pets like boarding, daycare or grooming, check them out and see for yourself.

Staff is very personable, clean, they take great care of my crew. I'm away. Both dogs told me so.

Absolutely the best experience boarding our dog Bam Bam with Elite Paws. Family business, friendly, clean and excellent facilty. Even if Elite Paws is a travel for you I highly recommend boarding your pet here. It is worth the trip for worry free care for your pets. Amazing place, amazing staff!!!! Highly recommend!!!! Thank you Elite Paws and the young man (under 10) who ran across the parking lot to hold the door open for my wife and I as we returned to pick up our dog. Thank you!!!

We absolutely love Elite Paws Per Resort. We have been taking our dogs there for years and highly recommend them. They love our babies like their own. Never have to worry about our babies while we are gone.

Best place to kennel a dog IMO. You can tell they really care from dietary restrictions to making sure our dog stays active and has lots of play they do a wonderful job. Staff is always friendly and always take a call to give updates if needed. Would recommend highly.

best boarding place first time my girl came home just as happy. as when i left her.

Love this place! Definitely recommend for daycare or boarding! We seriously could not have been happier with how they treated our dog. We are the kind of family that does our research especially when leaving the beloved family pet with someone who isn't family. Well, the staff at Elite Paws quickly became family. They treated our dog like their own. She absolutely loved it there!

I am so grateful I found Brittany on rover. She has been amazing with Kaito and she is so kind and responsible! Her son has also been amazing with my boy. I came to Pueblo for work and Brittany has been so flexible with my schedule and so helpful with last minute requests. Kaito always gets so excited to go over there and I couldnt be more happy with our experience. I have used her weekly since being here and let me tell ya, I highly recommend! She is great about sending updates and we just love Brittany. I wish she were closer to home for me lol. :)

Brittany came to the rescue when we had a family emergency over Christmas. She worked us in last minute and she was incredibly flexible with timing. She did amazing with our dog who is shy. She also sent me daily updates and photos which put me at ease. We couldn’t have pulled off what we needed to do without Brittany and BowWOW Home Pet Care. Thank you!

Recommend to everyone who wants their dog to remain a home environment! Great time! Great place!

Brittany with Bow Wow is great!! She does home visits so we're not required to board our two huge Cane Corso's and our Lhasa Apso plus worry our cats aren't being tended too. She takes care of all of them and gives them all the attention they require! She's a true one shop stop kinda gal! Thanks Brittany

Very kind, took care of my three anxious dogs over Christmas and could not have been more accommodating. She definitely cares about animals.

Absolutely beautiful set up! Book everytine!

Love it here. She is the best. Takes my animals for how ever long I need she hooked it up on pricing. The owner is a lovely lady. Overall great experience.

Very nice lady that runs it. Made sure dogs are kept happy and in a conformable environment while we were away.

Brittany did a great jobof taking care of my diabetic dog at our home

My pups are happy to be dropped off for the day, and happy to go home, where they go to sleep quickly after their dinner. ☺️

Jaeden was very attentive and a good communicator. He did well with my blue heeler

I called to request information. They answered the phone confused. I asked if this was a dog watching service and they seemed more confused. I told them, nevermind. They then called me multiple times as well as texted. I told them to stop and I'm not interested and proceeded to keep callinging and texting. Horrible customer service skills and honestly a little creepy.

He watched my Pug Jax four days and nights. He had a great experience. I will definitely use him again.

Rhonda is always so attentive when taking care of my pets. She has been in business for multiple years and I can relax knowing my pets are comfortable, taken care of and happy when she comes around!

Rhonda is a wonderful pet sitter. She spends time with my pets on every visit and is great about communicating how my pets are doing while I am gone. She is trustworthy and truly cares about her clients. I highly recommend her.

Critter Sitters Plus, Rhonda, has been taking care of our 4 dogs for more than 10 years. She has watched our dogs grow from puppies to adult dogs. She is very professional and organized, providing journal notes of each visit. A text message to check in with us and let us know all us well or if she has a question. We feel very fortunate to have her and we have no worries about the dogs when we travel. I refer Rhonda to everyone looking for reliable, trustworthy pet care services. (Teacher and husband, a retired disabled veteran.)

Critter Sitters Plus provides excellent, professional, and caring service. For more than 5 years, Rhonda has been my bird sitter whenever I had to be out of town. She gives the birds their food, water, and treats, cleans their cages, and spends quality time with them. She reports on each visit with report sheets as well as phone messages and pictures. In addition, she has taken care of non-pet issues at my house as needed, such as communicating with neighbors or meeting a contractor so urgent repairs could be made. I trust her 100% with my birds and my house, and I highly recommend her.

Critter Sitters Plus has been my go to for pet sitting my rabbit while I am away. Rhonda takes great care of him and leaves me daily reports so I know what services she provided. Rhonda also does a great job of checking in with me during my absence and is so easy to work with. I would highly recommend Critter Sitters Plus to anyone in the Pueblo area!

We have used Rhonda with Critter Sitters Plus since we moved to Pueblo West about 4 years ago. We have been very happy with the services she provides. She is very reliable, extremely conscientious and goes the extra mile by doing small things to help out such as bringing in mail and writing notes about what she observed each visit. She communicates well and reaches out by text or phone if she encounters any issues. We always feel at ease when out of town when Rhonda watches our pets.

I used Rhonda’s pet sitting services, and my experience was perfect for my pets and myself! She took excellent care of my cats, and she even has a small form that she fills out every single day on a given pet sitting assignment to let the owner know what went on that day with their pets (food/how much they ate/activities, etc.) to give them more details. She is professional, and trustworthy, and you don’t have to worry about your house or your belongings either. That was a concern I had as I had never used pet-sitting services before. She also was kind enough to take care of lights on/blinds closed for the evening & lights off/blinds open for the day. I will definitely use her services again in the future!-

Rhonda at Critter Sitters Plus has taken care of all my furbabies for over 20 years. She is the best as far as I am concerned! She loves my animals and gives them special attention!! I can depend on Rhonda to take good care of them.

After using other pet care services, Critter Sitters is by far the best! Rhonda runs a very punctual, professional, reliable and caring service. Our pets love her and her care. I feel very fortunate to have found this service and highly recommend Critters Sitters. Liz Besant

There is only one oerson who loves my pets more than me and that is Rhonda with Critter Sitters. I had a competing service and was not pleased with the short visits and lack of professionalism. When Rhonda visits my home I know I can trust her to lock my doors upon leaving and that she will be at my house when my animals need her. She is an authentic person who deeply loves animals.

Greetings. A friend recommended Karen and Mike Kerrigan of Like You’re There, owners of pet and home care, and we’re grateful they did. We met them in person prior to booking their services, and we were impressed by their caring hearts for animals as well as the integrity with which they operate their business. Karen took notes as we were discussing the particulars for our beloved cats and house, and she asked great clarifying questions. We had a great sense of peace and confidence that our two cats and house were well cared for and looked after while we were away. Karen and Mike texted updates about how the cats were doing, watered porch plants, brought in mail, turned lights on and off. They did what they said they would do, at the agreed-to time, and with caring attention to details. A truly positive experience, we are blessed to have met them.

Mike and Karen are amazing! They took great care of our elderly cat and looked after our home while we traveled out of town for weeks at a time. They sent us frequent updates to let us know how he was doing which gave us peace of mind while we were gone. Their prices are also very reasonable. Our precious cat has since passed, but we will definitely have them take care of our new kitties when we travel. We highly recommend Mike and Karen if you need home or pet care while traveling.

Mike and Karen gave me so much piece of mind while traveling that my fur baby and home were well cared for. They are very warm, caring, trustworthy, people to the max!!! This was my first experience with home and pet sitters since I had just rescued my one year old dog only 2 months before. She has separation anxiety but Mike and Karen were the best and Mia was able to stay home. My house was in better order than when I left. 100% will have them again. Thank you M & K

Mike and Karen are fabulous home and pet care specialists. We are relatively new to Southern Colorado and are extremely grateful to have found such loving and attentive care for our little furry babies. We have two dachshunds, one a nervous rescue and the other, a senior with only one eye. As such, we like to have them watched in our home when we are away. They are much more comfortable and relaxed in their own environment, and Mike and Karen make this possible for us. My dogs, Sophia and Sisi love them, and we are 100% at ease when we are away from home knowing Mike and Karen are taking care of our dogs for us as well as we would be if we were home. Thank you again Mike and Karen for everything.

I had a fantastic experience with Mike and Karen! I’m a mom of a dog, a cat, and a hedgehog and they took excellent care of them while I was gone for the weekend! Their prices were very affordable and I got a ton of bang for my buck. For $50 they came over twice a day and feed/watered all of the pets, they walked my dog, did some light house work, and texted me updates after every feeding! They truly took care of my babies like they were their own! Will absolutely utilize their services again!

Great experience having Karen and Mike watch our house and 4 dogs. They kept in constant contact with us and everything was in order when we got home. Our dogs were very happy so we are very happy! We will definitely use them again. Highly recommend them.

Thank you to Mike and Karen. All 3 of our pets (1 dog and 2 elder cats) were happy when we got home. And, coming home to our house after 4 days was so nice to know that we didn’t have to clean a thing! They bring their own bedding, towels and reheat their food in the microwave. Very nice people and very nice, affordable service.

We had a great first experience with Mike and Karen! They took very good care of our home and all of our pets while we spent the weekend away. We loved the updates and communication we received from them. We are looking forward to using them again. Thanks again, Mike and Karen Donny S.

Mike and Karen are by far the best home/pet service we have used. They are punctual, reliable, professional and caring. It is always comforting knowing they are there for us. Our dogs seem to like to see them more than us! They will take care of any issues or problems that may arise. There pricing is very fair and reasonable I highly recommend there service and are very thankful we have them to rely on. Well Done Kerrigans!!!

We have had such a good experience with Karen and Mike, they are easy to work with and flexible with our dogs' schedule. Our fur children are happy and healthy when we arrive back at home and this makes us feel comfortable to travel as much as we want knowing that they will be taken care of.

We needed someone to watch our dog, Titus, at the last minute when plans fell through. PlayTime Pet Sitters was able to help and made the process so easy! They were quick to respond to our last minute request, friendly, and easy to work with. Titus got his food, his walks, some love, and all was right with his world! He was clearly happy to have a new friend visit him based on the pictures we got while we were away! Thank you so much for taking care of him!!

My dog loves her PlayTime walkers! They have been really responsive, easy to schedule, and reliable. They always send text updates with cute pics after the walks, and leave a "report card" for how the walk went. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Where do I even begin? Susan and her staff have been quintessential for my family’s well-being. My husband and I are both officers in the Army, and we frequently deploy to training rotations and have recently had a nine month deployment overseas. PlayTime Pet Sitters has been a pillar of our pet care while we are away at work. We have an assortment of pets, which includes three birds and two dogs. I simply would not trust any other business to take care of my animals in my absence. There is a lot that I could write about the special care and authentic love for animals Susan and her staff have, but, I will instead summarize it with a single event. In January of 2022, our beloved dog swallowed a plastic squeaker that became lodged in her small intestine. I was alone, as my husband was deployed to a training center, and it was the middle of the night when I took my dog to the Emergency vet. About $7000 later, my dog underwent emergency abdominal surgery, and was recovering well. It was about 9 PM by the time I got her care plan, and I was overwhelmed with anxiety about how I was going to manage her post-operative care, as I had a week-long field exercise starting the following morning and I would not be home. I contacted other pet sitting businesses in Colorado Springs, and they all refused to schedule visits so last-minute despite my desperation. I contacted Susan at PlayTime that evening around 2 AM, in tears, desperate for a sitter that could care for my first and only dog as an adult at the time. Susan could not have been more superb; she reassured me that she would help me, and provided me with caretakers that gave my dog the best post-op care. Including feeding her baby food three times a day, and administering all medications with only written instructions from me on a letter I left for them in my home. PlayTime Pet Sitters has taken care of my family for well over a year. Their care is unmatched, and their dedication to animals is admirable and almost unbelievable. I have had a wide range of pets my entire life, including iguanas and a variety of farm animals. I am passionate and serious about my pets receiving the best care possible. I do not and will not give my business to anybody else in Colorado Springs. I would pay double the fee if it meant I could guarantee Susan and her team would look after my pets. If you are looking for a business that will love your furry, scaly, and feathered family members as much as you do, look no further. Thank you Susan, Linda, and every other incredible caretaker that has been a part of our pets’ lives. You have made our oftentimes challenging and unpredictable lifestyle more secure.

We had a great experience with PlayTime! In the past we’ve boarded and had friends watch our cats, but this was much better for the cats and us. They are very thorough, attentive, and professional. We felt good knowing that some of the people watching our cats actually had experience as vet techs or were studying to become vet techs. We got pictures and messages at each visit and it was nice not having to worry about the cats at all while we were away. And when we got back the cats were completely themselves! In the past they’ve had about a 2 day period of being mad at us.

We just had our first experience with Playtime Pet Sitters this weekend and we are amazed! Susan is incredibly responsive and reliable, and Sara and Deb took great care of our sweet Indy. I was impressed with their punctuality and their communication, and when we returned home we couldn't see any signs that anyone had stayed overnight that weekend. They took great care of our home and possessions, and we are very thankful to have found Playtime. Loyal customers from here on!

Playtime Pet Sitters is the best pet sitting company in Colorado Springs! The prices are reasonable, but that’s definitely not the only great thing. They truly care about your animals, and isn’t that the most important thing? We hired them to care for our pets during a weekend away, and I will never hire anyone else. They came ahead of time to meet our dogs and see where the dog food and crates were. They were polite and thorough. I made a mistake in the scheduling, but they were happy to work with me and make sure the pets were cared for. They came each day at the scheduled time and took lots of pictures! They even leave a little handwritten report of what happened while you were away. I never worried about the dogs because I knew they were in the best hands. If you’re on the fence about hiring them or still looking around, you’ve found the right place. You will not regret it! You won’t find a company that can give you as much peace of mind while you’re away from your fur babies!

Loved my experience with PlayTime Pet Sitters! I went on a last minute trip out of town for a weekend and they were able to accommodate my request and were very professional which I appreciated. My cat and I got to meet my sitter (Susan) before my trip and it’s clear she has a lot of experience with pets and is very trustworthy. She made a lot of effort to understand my cat, his habits, quirks, favorite toys, and so on, which made me more comfortable with leaving him for a weekend because I knew he would be in great hands! It’s a little pricier compared to getting a pet sitter from a site like Rover but at the end of the day, I want to hire people I trust with my pet and will continue to use PlayTime Pet Sitters for my pet sitting needs. 🙂

We had the best experience with PlayTime Pet Sitters. They looked after our two kittens over the Christmas holiday. We loved how they sent us a message update after every visit and how sweet the sitters were to our kittens. Our sitters were Amy and Laura - I highly recommend them to anyone!

We needed a pet sitter to care for our new cat and they took such great care of him while we were gone! Followed instructions to a T and sent lots of cute photos from the visits. We came home to a happy kitty, a nice report card of how they spent time with him , and all of our mail stacked neatly inside. Prior to the first visit, we had a home visit where the sitters met us and learned where everything was. Easy to book and pay online and the sitters were kind and professional. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great pet service!

Play time pet sitters was the best choice for our family! They were so communicative and understood all of our animals needs. We also got daily updates on how our animals were doing. They also left an itinerary of what was done each day. We came home to very happy animals and had no issues at all. Thank you Sarah and Amber for taking care of our fur babies!

One fantastic pet sitter. She is knowledgeable and she cares. Marylyn puts your mind at ease that your babies are being taken well care of. With her knowledge she helped me get my rescue back when she got out . No one better.

Auntie Maryland is the best pet sitter! She's not only great with my animals, she takes care of my plants and my home's security. I can leave home with no worries!

For fifteen years I wouldn't leave town with the worry of who to leave my furr babies with. Avalon sells peace of mind. Great services. Reliable. I can now leave my babies at home with out the stress and worry if they will be ok... I know they were happy, safe and taken care of.

I’ve used Avalon Pet Services for three years. They do an excellent job, and have always been available. I highly recommend their services.

Auntie Marylyn is absolutely the best! Very reliable and reasonably priced. She loves my animals and I never worry when she takes care of them. She doesn't mind my checking up on them and she sends me pics when she visits.

Thanks! I appreciate your support

I really hated to leave my baby with a stranger but after a week or so she was excited to go home with me but kept running back and forth saying goodbye to the lady that tends the kennel. I was really impressed that each dog gets free time to play one-on-one and run in grassy area twice a day!¡ I will definitely use their well-kept facility again and highly recommend it to everyone.

Kathy is AWESOME!! Can't say enough nice things about her and her love of dogs and animals. Been using her services for way over 20 plus years. Highly recommend Kamp-4-Paws!!!

My dogs love it !!! The personal care and attention they get makes me not worry when I have to go and leave them. Thank you Kathy for your love of animals. You guys are the best!!!

We've had the best experience here. I can't even describe how appreciative I am of the care that my dogs have received. I would highly recommend.

I love kamp-4-paws. My dogs Reign & Epic love to go to kamp to see Kathy and Becky. I know they love and care for my babies when I can't be there. Thank you kamp-4-paws. We love you.

I know our dog is well cared for at Lamp 4 paws!

It's definitely not on the way to anywhere else I go, but the service is reliable and friendly and the price is good. Of the options in and around Pueblo, this is our go-to.

We won't take our dog anywhere else for boarding. Kathy is great with dogs - you can tell she really loves them. A big plus is that the facility is near her home. This isn't a place where they lock up and go home. When our dog sees Kathy, he runs to her. We can leave on vacation and feel confident our pet has great care.

Lots and Lots of room and open range for the animals to roam. This is a great place and I would highly recommend anyone to come here!

The lady has been watching dogs for years.
