Dog Sitters in Palmer Lake, CO

Shelby is awesome! We left our two pups for the first time in 3 years and went out of the country. We really thought we were going to worry the whole time but after meeting Shelby and seeing how she interacted with our boys, we relaxed a lot. Getting multiple daily updates with pictures and details put our minds at ease. The dogs seemed relaxed as well, not sure they even noticed we were gone! :-) I highly recommend Shelby and will be using her to look after our pets from now on.

Shelby was wonderful. Very professional and caring with our dogs. She sent us pictures and updates with each visit. We were very assured that our pups were in the very best hands. Our dogs asked when are we going on vacation again so they can see Shelby!!! Highly recommend her. Thanks Shelby for the piece of mind you gave us.

Shelby was great! Helped us out super last minute when we had to leave town. Our dog was well cared for and loved while we were away. She always ssnf pics and updates every visit, which makes being away from your pet a lot easier. Would recommend and use again!

Shelby is amazing! Highly recommend her as a dog walker. My dogs are always so excited to see her, and exhausted after their walk. She provides pictures, a map, and any other relevant info every single time. She also has a great app that makes scheduling/paying/communication/etc. super easy. Thanks Shelby!

Shelby did a fantastic job watching our 2 kitties, Morrison and Louie, while we were on vacation. She sent us timely updates each day accompanied by photos of each of our cats, which gave us great comfort knowing the kitties were in good hands. She was successful persuading our timid cat, Louie to eventually start trusting her upon her visits. We will definitely be using Shelby and here top notch service at Woof & Meow in the future when we need to be away from home. Larry and Cindy

Shelby has walked my dog a number of times. She is a very pleasant person who obviously loves dogs. Each time, Shelby provided photos and input on my dog’s behavior. I could not ask for a more caring or more trustworthy person to look after my dog. Her business is very professionally run and her communication is excellent! I would trust no one else!

Shelby was fantastic with us and our animals. The regular updates were such a relief and our dogs thoroughly enjoyed her company. Shelby was able to support us following a last minute cancellation and next time, we’ll book her first!!

Shelby was wonderful with our three pups! She stayed in touch with us throughout our time away from home with pictures/messages. We felt very comfortable leaving g our pups with her and we enjoyed our trip knowing they were doing well and were in good hands!

Shelby took great care of our dogs for a week while we were on vacation. Received daily updates and pics of the dogs. I was comfortable leaving them as I knew they were in good hands. I highly recommended Woof and Meow and will be using them again when needed.

Shelby is a great pet sitter! Our cats are friendly with her which tells me she's treating them well! She's responsive, caring, and dependable. Highly recommend!

We love Wild Paws. We have a dog with anxiety and therefore, some aggression issues and every walker has been able to work with him and take him for long walks along with controlling our over friendly other dog! They’ve been flexible, communicative, and all around fabulous with our pups. We feel so lucky to have found Angela and Wild Paws!

I can’t even begin to express how amazing Wild Paws has been for our family and our Harley. We could feel more lucky to have found Angela and her team. They always show up, go above and beyond and love our dog as if she were their own. Wild Paws uses a super user friendly app to book your walks and they send the best updates there too. It’s SO amazing. They all have incredible communication too. They truly are the best in town and you’d be crazy not to add them to your pets daily life! I am so incredibly thankful for all of them.

The entire crew at Wild Paws are amazing!!! The care they show our family members is so evident snd comforting every time. Our dog, cat and turtle know their team by now and if they could write their own review, it would be full of love and appreciation. We have used different pet sitters in the past. And Angela and team are a paw above them all. I could not be more pleased that we found them. Wild Paws earned my absolute recommendation - and most importantly my trust that our friends are always loved.

Wild Paws... best dog care for your pups. great communications and you can see the care that Wild Paws has for you pups. Highly recommend them to anyone needing care for their pets, whether daytime drop in or overnights. Love this company! :)

Wild Paws has been amazing for our 2 Griffs. They come during the time allotted, send pictures and updates and have handled last minute requests easily and professionally. My dogs are always happy to see them!

I've had a great experience with Wild Paws and our new kitty! They are super responsive, you can schedule and communicate with them through the app, and I love that they send an update with pictures each time they visit! Thank you!!

This is the most amazing group of folks. My 4 pups love them and they give 100% attention on all visits. Even walk all 4 at the same time. Communication is incredible. They even do little extra things.

Angela and her team are absolutely amazing. They take care off my dog as he would be their own. I am so thankful for their help and would recommend Wild Paws to anyone!!

I cannot say enough good things about these Gems! I am so lucky to have found Angela and their newest member Em. After my divorce I struggled finding someone that would love my babies as much as I do. My dogs (a Golden Retriever Mya and my Australian Cattle Dog Mix Sophie) are always excited to see them. Angela is always flexible, on time and is the best communicator. She has even dog sat at my home for me while on an extended vacation. I wouldn't trust my fur babies with anyone else. There app is a wonderful way for them to give you an update on their visit. I have to say that it's my favorite part of my day when I get an email from the app. They always take great photos and leave fun details. You can't go wrong using Wild Paws.

I would give 0 stars if possible. They gave the wrong dog meds, didn’t walk the dogs until I complained, let water bowls go dry, and let the dogs play with poisonous rat traps. Needless to say, we came home to vomit and feces all over the house that had clearly been there for some time. We were worried sick while on vacation and couldn’t do anything about it. The owner, Angela, never once went to the house, even after I voiced my concerns. When we got home, the neighbors told us they often saw one of the dogs running the neighborhood, and they attempted to let the sitter know several times but she was never there. Here’s the picture of the sitter letting my dog play with poison; they sent a video too that I can’t upload here. Beware!!! We’ve never gotten anything from Angela other than deflection and excuses. Today we also discovered that one of our dog’s tail is broken. They would have been better off fending for themselves. I highly recommend you do NOT use Wild Paws, unless you want to overpay for poor “care”.

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 3 month old kitten had a great time hanging out with the sitters from PlayTime this past weekend while I was out of town. Deb and Sara sent me several pictures and a text about everything they did each time they visited. It was great to see he was well loved, taken care of, and had plenty of play time while I gone. It was also nice to come home and see that his litter box was fresh, the area around his box was free of all the litter that usually follows him out, and his food and water bowls were clean and full. I know he's looking forward to the next time he'll get to hang out with his Deb and Sara and I'm glad there's one less thing I have to worry about next time I travel.

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!

Our boy Toby loved this place. While on vacation this summer we dropped him off daily while we went and did our thing for a few hours. He absolutely loved it. It was very clean and the staff was super friendly. Huskies are escape artists and we never felt worried or unsure of his safety. We wouldn't hesitate to come again when we're back in the area.

They are best in business.. we visited Colorado Springs with our dog(who rarely goes to dog daycare). We needed a daycare for few hours to visit pike’s peak and double J pet ranch came to our rescue. My dog loved his stay and came back so happy. They went out of their way and waited for us a little extra to close. I felt like I left my dog with a family member. Thanks a lot Double J pet ranch. I would recommend it to friends and family back in Texas ❤️.

My dogs love Double J Pet Ranch. They are SO excited when I tell them they are going to Dbl J. They play all day with their "friends" and come home tired. The people that work there are awesome and love all the dogs they care for. It's the best!

If you’re looking for the best place to board your dog in Colorado, look no further!!!! This is hands down the best boarding location we’ve ever taken our dog! Not only was she excited coming into Double J Ranch for the first time but she was smiling and even attempting to leave our car when we left!? The level of care the staff provides is incredible! They learn about every dog who comes in and they are practically family now. We left our dog for over 9 days and usually we’re hesitant (especially from past experiences at other Boarding locations in the area) but it was clear from the photos and report from the staff that she had a blast. We will never take her anywhere else and I can’t recommend them enough!

I have two dogs, one of them very friendly, but one of them really only likes her brother. Despite this, Double J made sure to take the time to spend a little extra time with my “trouble girl” to make her feel more comfortable until she could fit in with the other doggies. Not only is this great for my dog, but it’s the right thing to do for the other dogs there too. You never know what happens if a dog feels threatened. Great job by Double J taking care of all of your clients’ dogs, and THANK YOU for making my “trouble girl” feel at home while I was away! And thank you for easing my mind! It’s a bit of drive for me, but I will be returning as a customer when the situation arises.

We left our Daisy for 9 days and picked her up a tired and happy pup. We loved the Facebook pictures so we could check in on her and each picture her tail was wagging and she had a huge “smile” on her face. The facility is large and the kennels are clean! Love knowing our fur baby is well cared for while we are away!

Our collie Max enjoyed his stay at Double J Pet Ranch and really loves the spacious outdoor playtime they provide with other friendly dogs! The kennels are clean and the pets are well cared for.

Best in class staff that genuinely cares for every dog and dog owner. Blizzy LOVES going to daycare at Double J she gets to run, play and socialize. Hands down recommend this for your fur baby, I live down south and commute 45 minutes during the work week to get there that's how incredible this place is.

Great facility, great employees. We love Double J and so does our dog. They take great care of him and make sure he gets his allergy meds whenever he boards. Highly recommended.

First time boarding with Double J Kennels, the girls must've had a good time, cuz they weren't in a hurry to get in the truck to go home! The staff there is super friendly, and let me know that my pups behaved in group play time, which is always nice to hear that your kids played nicely with the others! Will definitely go back!

We love Camp Bow Wow. All the employees seem to really care about the animals. Everything seems to run very smooth when dropping off a pet or picking up a pet. They are very attentive to your animals needs. My Frenchie gets very excited to go there.

We are new to Camp Bow Wow, but have great experiences so far! The staff is always very helpful. Our doggies Bosco and Choco seem to enjoy it there. We just boarded them for the first time, so we’ll see how the pick up goes.

This pup could not love doggie daycare more. When I drop my dog off I feel like she is in the best hands and all the staff are so sweet.

I dropped my dog for a few days while my husband and I were out of town in March. I was able to view the live feed of my dog. When I picked her up, she had lost a noticeable amount of weight. I'm not sure if she was not being fed or she just wasn't eating. Either way, I wish I had gotten a call letting me know what was going on. We had an emergency contact but she was not called either. We recently went out of town again and we did not take our dog here and probably will never take her back there again.

We have boarded our one year old with the Monument Camp Bow Wow twice for longer than 5 days and she comes home well cared for and tired from all her play time! The cameras allow us to watch her while we're gone. Great staff! We recommend this facility.

I’ve been using them consistently for my Frenchie for both daycare and boarding and they are great. My dog is so happy there and the nice staff up front are always excited to see him. Glad to know he has a home away from home when needed. My dog always comes home so tired so it’s a great place to socialize and get that energy out.

Apparently they spray the dogs with a spray bottle when others are taken out of there area so no one runs or sneaks out of the gate, that is how they handle it. So if you dont want your dog to be scared of water dont take them here clearly…. Dropped my dog off in the morning for half day daycare, told them his food was in his bag pre scooped and they needed to wet it. They said okay and even talked to me about how this would affect his playtime to prevent bloat and everything. Pick him up wet, smelling like pee, and his food unopened. If they attempted to feed him and he just didnt eat it It would be wet. No communication on what happened with the food and I had to later call and ask why he was wet (THEN they told me the spray bottle thing)

We love Camp Bow Wow and so do our dogs. From their puppy training and daycare to their overnight boarding, we have always had positive experiences here. Our Golden Retriever puppy loves to spend Mondays at puppy play! She always comes home wore out...and that's saying a lot!

Great place to have the kiddos stay or play. Friendly staff. They even worked with us to solve a few problems. Highly recommend.

I love Camp Bow Wow in Monument, Colorado. Staff are super friendly and accommodating. Everything in and around the facility is sparkling clean. My dog, Charlie, is treated just like family.

2022: Want to leave a more current review - Patricia's Pampered Pets and People, LLC is simply the best dog daycare around. Not only is our Mora spoiled, so are we. Mora's doggy social needs are met in their huge play area with many different breeds and doggy sizes as well as her health with adequate rest time during Classical Nap time. Mora gets excited when we take her out and when we pick her up she is happy, tired, and healthy. We could not ask for anything more. A five star rating each time. 2019:No better doggy daycare in Colorado Springs. Their no crate/kennel policy is like Mora is right at home. She loves this place and so do we!!!

Highly recommend! Our golden (4 yr old) has been going to Pampered Pooches Playground weekly for over a year now. We’ve also boarded her on multiple occasions for up to a week at a time, and couldn’t be happier with the care and attention she receives. She’s treated like one of the family! We greatly appreciate Patricia & Oliver’s focus on “quality over quantity”, day and night supervision of all of the pups, and regular texts with updates & photos of our girl playing.

Our lab loves going to spend time with Patricia and the other pups when we are away. He has so much fun playing and being loved on that when we pick him up he comes home and is exhausted! Patricia is incredibly communicative and great about giving updates and sharing photos of the fun that is taking place on her property. I would highly recommend leaving your pups here for a peace of mind while traveling. They really are well taken care of, have access to play freely, and also have the opportunity to rest and be part of the family while staying in Patricia's home as opposed to being left in a small crate or run.

We had a wonderful experience with Patricia. She was enormously flexible with us and spent a great deal of time up front with us explaining the setup and experience of boarding with her. We felt so comfortable that our dog was in excellent hands and well cared for. We also loved the updates and pictures sent throughout the week. We can’t wait to go back, it is the perfect experience for our pup!

We take our dogs to Patricia for day care and boarding and we wouldn't think of taking them anywhere else. Our dogs are always excited to go spend time with her. She is knowledgeable and has a good deal of experience. Every dog is vetted and approved before they stay with her. Very safe and clean environment. Kennel free! My two pups just spent a long weekend with her and I never worried about how they were doing. We received pictures and updates daily. It was wonderful.

Such a great experience from beginning to end! Patricia was very accommodating. I contacted her on short notice to board my dog and she went out of her way to make it work. She and her husband have a perfect set up and you can tell that they have been doing it for many years. Patricia sent me many updates and pictures while I was away and took time to ask specific behavioral questions about my dog. She really puts in the time, effort, and love to care for each dog individually. Between play time, naps, lots of snugs, and no noisy, overcrowded crates or kennels, my dog looked like he had a great time and I felt relieved while I was away knowing he was in such good hands. It was a very low stress experience for both my pup and I. I hope to use no one other than Pampered Pets & People for our boarding needs. Thank you Patricia!!

Patricia has taken wonderful care of both my dogs that have stayed with her. She goes out of her way to best meet your dog's needs. After a boarding visit, our pup came home with better greeting manners. She gets a great socialization experience and gets some training. Our last dog had some very specific issues with timing of eating. She was the only pet boarding business willing to accommodate her needs to minimize an upset tummy. I miss my dog's dearly when I have to leave them, but daily texts and photos about how they are doing put my mind at ease.

Our dog has been to Patricia for several day visits and also overnight for a vacation. We receive pictures/updates and Patricia is always very responsive with communication. Our dog comes home happy and tired... the best combo! She loves being outside in nice weather, so the big fenced play area is a big plus. The indoor free-roaming is what we all want for our fur babies! Happy to have found Patricia and Pampered Pets!

Amazing. They have an amazing home that they have dedicated to providing the best possible set up for these pups. Kennel free, free space to run and play, and plenty of love and affection! Big fenced in back yard, dog friendly landscaping, and even dog friendly inside space. My pup had the best weekend of her life - as evidenced by the several pictures and updates Patricia would so thoughtfully send throughout the day. It made me feel great knowing our dog was being loved on and having fun while we were away. This is my first and only choice for boarding from now on!

Patricia runs a top notch business. She evaluates every dog before accepting them into her home. My dogs love going there and my GSD has really come out of his shell since being introduced to that environment. He has become so much more confident and both dogs continue to thrive with their socialization skills. The environment she has created both in her home and in the play yard is fantastic. I love the pictures she send and the updates provided on how they are doing. I highly recommend her services.

Megan is the best! I wholeheartedly trust her to watch after my dog when I’m out of town. My girl was absolutely spoiled with multiple walks, treats, and cuddles! I love that I can leave my dog at home and she’s in good hands versus going to a boarding facility. I absolutely recommend Colorado Paws Pack to anyone needing help with their pets.

I can not say enough about Megan and Matt. We have two dogs that have some reactivity issues and are very so selective on who they like. They have been watching our dogs for a couple years now when we go out of town for racing. And I trust them completely. We go to a couple places that we do not get service and I do not worry about our guys in their care. I love that I get photo of every visit and they get some of the goofiest photo. I can not recommend them more. We love them so much and our guys look forward to seeing them Anne and Groot thank you Matt and Megan

The Colorado Paws Pack (Megan and Matt) is an awesome service. They truly care about our cat and sent us pictures when he poked his head out. This was the first time we have used this type of service and couldn't be more happier.

Megan, Matt and Macy have been great with my older dog! Very professional communication and accommodating to my schedule.

Jordan has been walking my two pups for over 6 months now and I couldn't be happier with her services! I have two high energy, young dogs who are not the best on leash and can be reactive while on walks and finding the right person to trust and understand their needs was nerve wracking for me. After meeting her once, I knew she was the right person for the job and my dogs absolutely love her! I trust her in my home and she keeps in touch with me when she's heading to our house and after each walk. I also love that she sends me a picture after each walk and my dogs are always tired and happy. I can't recommend Jordan and her services enough! She's professional, friendly, trustworthy and it's easy to see she genuinely loves animals and that makes my heart happy :)

Katie and Megan are amazing! Our three dogs love them and benefit so much from their visits. They’re prompt, honest, trustworthy, and take great photos and provide great emails detailing their visits. So glad we found Jordan’s Pack.

Matt, Katie, and Megan have been taking care of our two cats for almost two years now and we cannot recommend them enough! We love getting detailed updates and pictures while we are out of town and feel so comfortable leaving our boys with them, knowing they will get the same kind of care and attention that they get from us. We really appreciate them going above and beyond for us on several occasions, keeping a close eye on one of our cats after a recent vet procedure and even locating the source of a rogue sump pump alarm while we were on vacation. Above all, our boys love them - and that really says it all! We are so happy that we found Colorado Paws Pack!

Megan is amazing with our Goldendoodle. He has a lot of anxiety and she was so good with him that they are best buddies now. She was wonderful and treated our dog like he was her own. She provides the most amazing photos and updates after every visit too. She made our vacation worry free because I knew our dog was in great hands and that I could trust her in our home. We can’t wait to have her come back again the next time we need pet sitting services.

Matt is the best pet sitter one could ever ask for. When I'm away, he always sends me multiple pictures of my dog and bearded dragon to make sure I could still see them. And on top of that, he takes the most wonderful pictures! My dog, Miyuki, and his dog, Evie, are literal besties!!! She always has a blast when they have a play date. They're pricing is also affordable.

I’ve had nothing but great experiences using Jordan’s Pack services for my dog! I’ve been using her services for a 30 min. walk most days of the week while I’m away at work for about 6 months now! Megan usually walks my dog and does a great job. She sends pictures and take my dog places she wants to go. I also really appreciate how flexible they are with rescheduling services because of impromptu work from home days or winter storms! Thank you it would be ruff without you!

Everyone reading this, just know that you are hiring the best of the best. I have a husky and two kitties that are so loved and taken care of when we are out of town, because Vanessa is amazing! We have certain needs for our pets and Vanessa not only makes sure those are met, but goes above and beyond. Highly recommended! Be assured that your expectations for your pets are met, because she CARES. That is hard to find these days, but you just found it!

Vanessa is an excellent communicator and always responds promptly. Tracie has such a good energy to her and takes very good care of my dog! Very happy with the service and doesn’t break the bank!

First time leaving my baby, NOT in the loving care of friends or family. Vanessa & Mary were beyond fabulous! Greatly exceeding all of my expectations

Above the Clouds Pet Sitting is the best. We have several pets and find it difficult to find good trustworthy care. A friend of mine recommended Vanessa and we’re so glad that we found her. She communicated with us during our trip everyday. It was a reassuring feeling knowing that our babies were doing okay. We appreciate everything she did and we will be calling her again. Please reach out to Vanessa for the loving care for your 4 legged babies.

When your puppy or grown dog, goes to Vanessa's house for daycare or overnight care, there are a number of things you can count on. 1. Your dog will be treated like a member of the family. Vanessa welcomes the dogs she cares for into her home and her family. 2. Your dog will become a member of a pack. Vanessa has 3 of her own dogs and screens all new dogs coming into that pack for compatibility. No mean aggressive dogs allowed! 3. Your dog will come home exhausted and happy! Vanessa offers lots of play time for the pups in her care. She even provides a kiddy pool to cool off in on hot days. Lots of play time and interaction with other dogs always guarantees a happy and content dog upon pickup. Vanessa came to my rescue after I brought home an energetic Australian Shepard. I work full time and was not able to give this new puppy the attention and exercise she needed. I started taking my pup to Vanessa's at about 5 months old 2 - 3 times a week. When I brought my pup home, she was quite content which made my training so much easier. I am very grateful to Vanessa and her kind and professional approach to taking care of other peoples fur babies.

Vanessa was a true professional that took care of our animals like they were her own. Dependable, trustworthy, and caring, she did an amazing job looking after our fur family. She updated us on our pets continously and even sent pictures! We have tried other pet sitters but Vanessa provides a level of service that is exemplary. We have found our go to pet sitter and truly appreciate her caring and compassion for our animals.

I am so happy I found Vanessa - she is a true professional! She is wonderful with my dogs and I love that she provides check-in reports, complete with photos. Vanessa cares about her pet-clients and their humans, going as far as making sure I got home safely after my vacation. I'd been looking for someone reliable and friendly to watch my furboys when I go out of town, and I feel that I've hit the jackpot! Cannot recommend Vanessa highly enough!

There are not enough words to describe the love and care that Vanessa and Nathan gave to our two dogs while in their care!! I have never felt so comfortable leaving my babies as I did when I left them at their home!!! I loved that Vanessa did a initial meet and greet prior to their stay! What a great idea!! After seeing the accommodations, I was really impressed! Then to receive daily updates on how they were doing was very comforting! I would highly recommend Above the Clouds Pet Sitting hands down!! Bear and Cali are looking forward to their next stay already!! Thank you again Vanessa and Nathan!!

Vanessa has taken care of my pups many times, and our experiences with her have always been wonderful. She truly cares about the critters in her charge...we think she is amazingly flexible and responsible. And provides great value!

Vanessa is amazing and we feel very fortunate that our paths crossed. Our “Ellie” came from an abusive situation so she has trust issues with new people. When we recently relocated from another state to Colorado we knew it would be challenging finding the right connection to care for her while we are out of town. If we could have moved our FL doggy sitter with us it would have been nice, as there was much anxiety about finding a new caretaker. Vanessa has been nothing short of incredible. She drove up to our home and did three introductory visits prior to us going out of town. This was beyond our expectations and we were thrilled to see how Ellie took to Vanessa. Since then we have taken two trips out of town and Vanessa has been wonderful. Each and every day we received text messages giving us an update on Ellie, along with several pictures of ‘play-time’. It brought such peace of mind knowing that she was being well cared for, and in our home. We felt very connected the entire trip, and never worried. Typically when one boards their pet it is always comes with a sense of worry. However, this has not been the case with Vanessa. I always felt at ease, and excited when the next text message would arrive with a new daily update. Not to mention the fact that she goes above and beyond making trips during winter storms to ensure Ellies' needs were taken care of. From the moment you meet Vanessa you will see that she is compassionate about animals, excited about her work and always seems to have your pets care as her top priority.

Polly was absolutely awesome! We have a farm of animals (horse, chickens, dogs, cats) and have had difficulty getting a reliable pet sitter to care for our menagerie. Polly was prompt in daily communication and took the initiative to go above and beyond! Watering plants, gathering mail, picking up packages and even cleaning up after our furry friends - she did it all! We would recommend Pollywog's Pet Sitting without hesitation!!

She is seriously amazing! One of the best sitters I have had. She takes the time to make your pup comfortable. My dog like ice cubes in his water and she even puts a couple pieces in his water before she leaves. Every time I get home after she walks my dog he has a full bowl of water and it is clean! We have a lock that attached outside our door and she is always careful to make certain it is locked securely. Extremely pleased dog owner!

The best pet sitting experience that my wife and I have had. Very easy to deal with, administered our cat's medication (oral liquid), and gave us email/text updates. A+.

We used this service for our 4 big dogs (3 Newfoundlands and 1 elderly Lab). The dogs responded well and seemed quite contented when we came home. Will use this service again when we are gone for overnight trips.

Our cat Bailey is very hissy she acts like a guard dog...but Polly handles her just fine.. We never worry about anything.

Most amazing dog walker in Colorado springs!!!

Super nice

Sam is the best dog sitter Ive ever had! He’s so attentive and active with the dogs. I always feel super safe and calm leaving Axle with him. Axle loves being with him so much that I have to force him to get in the car with me to go back home. That’s how you know your pup was well taken care of!

Not only do we love and trust Sam to watch our dogs but THEY love and trust Sam. Anytime we are gone or working we have zero concerns knowing our Leonard and Lola are under Sam’s care. Even if he isn’t watching them, If my dogs hear his whistle, they go running to him to say hi! They adore him. Sam is not only a reliable caregiver but is also a great trainer. And he’s always a phone call away if I have any questions at all regarding my dogs behaviors. He is an asset to us in helping raise our little rescues and we wouldn’t want them spending their days away from us with anyone else. I could not recommend Sam in any higher regard!

Amazing Dog Daycare Daycare! Sam is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and the care he provided for my dog is the best I have ever experienced. Thank you Sam.

Sam is great with my dogs! As soon as they see him, they are excited to say Hi! He is very attentive with them on their adventures and his main priorities are their safety and enjoyment while playing. Thank you Sam for all the love you have given to my pups!🐾🙂 …

Seriously could not have found a better dog situation for my sweet mini Aussie Olive while in CO Springs for a recent work trip. Sam was great, and it’s apparent he enjoys the dog’ company! Olive is a shy girl, and this was a great way to get her socialized in a friendly environment with an attentive human to moderate. Sam communicated well and sent lots of photos throughout the day too.

My dog (Porter) has so much fun here, he doesn’t want to leave when I pick him up! Sam is so thoughtful and attentive in caring for dogs. I love that each pet gets a tailored experienced based on there needs. I enjoy the frequent updates/pics and convenient/flexible meet-ups. I am able to fully engage in my trips knowing how well my dog is being looked after by a handler who is highly experienced. I can’t recommend this service enough. 1000% satisfied

Sam is an amazing pet provider. Sent me pictures of Marvin’s activities. Sam is also flexible with good communication skills.

Sam has been a life saver, helping me now for 1.5 years with a very active Husky who loves playing and running with the Pack. During this time, Sam has provided great training and discipline skills that have been very noticeable here at home. Sam is keen and attentive to a dogs needs and alerts me to anything he sees going on that I may not, right away pick up on. Highly recommend!

Sam has been the very best since he has started caring for my dog, Harlow. He is flexible with my schedule and accommodates pick ups and drop offs as needed which eases my mind when I work long hours. He also makes a point to send photo updates on how Harlow is doing throughout the day(which is what I most look forward to). Harlow comes home every day tired and happy which is what we love! Thank you, Sam for taking such good care of our fur-baby!

Sam the Dog Man was fantastic with our Girl Belle!! We are enjoying an extended road trip with our RV and our Pup and we (on occasion) have a need for daycare/overnight boarding for her. Sam has been very responsive and super easy to coordinate her care with. We met for a meet and greet and toured his home where he is very organized with the care of his "regulars" and those passing through..... like us. He is clearly a "Dog Person" and enjoys what he does. He takes the pups to the best local dog park each morning to play and run and wear themselves out.... Belle was whooped each day after pick up and was calm all evening. He also offers care for doggos who prefer quieter time and individual walks instead of group play. The location is perfect for our weeklong visit to Colorado Springs and we couldn't be happier! Don't hesitate to leave your FurBaby in the care of Trails and Tails Dog Adventures! Rob and Robynn Barry
