Dog Sitters in Platteville, CO

We ended up boarding our dogs two different times here and absolutely loved it. They were very well taken care of. We got pictures every day. Our dogs have never been happier. Will definitely be using their services again. Prices are fairly inexpensive and there’s lots of fun add-ons we really appreciate all this Ken does for our dogs. -Karley & Cory

Couldn't be happier with the results of our training sessions with Damien. The difference is night and day - my strong-willed pup walks on heel now (no more lunging after rabbits, squirrels, and other dogs), comes immediately when called, and gets compliments at the dog park for her calmer behavior and responsiveness to commands. I've even had a few of the other dog parents call & inquire about about having Jasper's train their dogs. Time and money well spent - highly recommend.

Jasper’s is a good place to take your dog. We have taken Kendall for a day here and there. We have also left her for about two weeks and they have taken good care of her. She likes it there and they love her. When we get the chance we will keep taking her there when needed.

Jasper's has been a great place in our time of need! When we had 8 puppies that were needing great attention they provided it! Now they are always accommodating with my late notice and I truly appreciate it!!!

This staff is incredible. And I love how much they love dogs. I had to call ahead because our dog caught his ear on the corner of our doghouse and it barely cut it. They offered to help take care of it and monitor it at no extra cost! To be fair. I’ve already brought our dog here 10+ times. And the service has never been less. This review is well overdue!

Jaspers is a great facility with wonderful staff. I recently started doing training there with my dog and after only a couple sessions she has progressed so much! I am so glad I decided to bring her here.

Took our pup to Jaspers for a 5 night stay as we had a family emergency on the other side of the country. When I was shopping around, they were the only ones that made me feel like they wanted to help, and also had the best pricing. I stopped by and scheduled the stay. The office girls were nothing short of amazing! During the stay, they text me pictures and videos as well as behavior updates. My kids loved the he videos! When we picked her up, we met with the owner / trainer and discussed everything about her training and he went over everything with us so we can continue the training. I asked questions, they had answers and I didn’t feel rushed out. All in all, I will continue taking Ruby in once a week for training and doggy day care! We had a great experience! Thank you guys!

Jasper's always takes great care of our dog, Blue. We started using Jasper's for training for Blue which was great. We continue to take Blue there for great care when we leave town and can't take him with us. Here he is happy and healthy when we picked him up after his last visit!

This is the best place ever!!! Red is taken care of like he was at home!!! Every single one of the kennel hands that take care of Red do so well with him and LOVE Red!! He actually may have gotten "special" attention! We would let Jasper's take care of Red anytime!!! We appreciate ALL of the kennel hands and Damian and Traci at Jasper's!!! THANK YOU! ❤️

I was really fascinated with the care of my Husky Toby, the guys at Jasper's were always notifying me how Toby's stay was while I was with them, he arrived happy with us, I really recommend it, good care, good stay, walks, Happy dogs Really thank you Jasper's for taking such good care of a member of my family.

I can’t say enough great things about Dan. He knows dogs really well and helped me to get to know my dog and my actions with my dog better. I had back surgery and needed someone to help walk my dog who doesn’t do well with other people. So I was worried when Dan came over to meet us. But Dan was very calm, confident, obviously experienced, patient and respectful. My dog always enjoyed walks with Dan. I was very happy to have a dog walker that was so dependable! Dan’s communication was great. I work from home and he always gave me plenty of heads up on when he’d be coming to walk my dog and when he was on his way back from the walk. Dan is also just a great guy. We had several great conversations. He also gave me a lot of great ideas and insight for home improvements for free, lol. I highly recommend Dan!!!

Dan was an absolute pleasure to talk to and plan with and my dog couldn't have had a better time! He actually didn't want to leave Dan's house... so I think that says all you need to know. :) My dog loved his two super cute and playful dogs and Dan was great with updating me on how Uno was doing. In addition to that, he took Uno on long daily walks and made sure he got all of his energy out. I will definitely be calling Dan when I need to have someone I trust watch Uno for an extended amount of time again. Thanks again!! :)

Dan is great! He takes him out for walks and takes care of him. I dare to say they bonded the first day they met 😅💜. Dan is very respectful of my house and definitely trust him when I’m not home and definitely with my dog. I highly recommend Dan if you’re looking for someone to look out for your pets. …

Dan did an incredible job watching our Labradoodle puppy Aspen for a whole week while we were in Hawaii early Feb. Aspen got plenty of attention & exercise during the stay and she was so happy when we picked her up. Dan made sure to update us with photos and videos, and even let Aspen sleep with him so our pup was extra comfortable while we were gone. Great communication throughout the experience and was super flexible with drop-off/pick-up times with the winter weather being nasty. Glad we found this for the future!

Our two dogs stayed with Dan and The Backyard Escape for several days while we were out of town and we all had a great experience. One of our dogs is older and wants to simply relax with very short walks. Dan sent us numerous pictures of her in her bed in various locations (relaxing with the other doggie friends or on their porch). Our other dog has quite of bit of energy and she really loved going on longer daily walks and playing with the other doggie friends (we received great pictures and videos). We really trust Dan and will definitely use The Backyard Escape again in the future.

I'm so grateful we chose Dan to care for our dog when we went on vacation for several weeks. He goes above and beyond, treating our pup like one of his own. He truly goes the extra mile and was great to work with all around. He is so kind, dependable, and flexible. Great communication and sent pictures of my pup, I didn't worry about her at all while I was away, which was great. I would absolutely give my recommendations for any of your fur babies needs!

I simply cannot say enough about Dan. We were nervous about finding week-long care for our one-year-old dog, as we had never left her for that long before. After visiting Dan’s home, all those nerves disappeared. He’s kind, confident, and knowledgeable, and his love for dogs is clear. His home is immaculate, and he has the perfect outdoor space - truly a “backyard escape!” Each day of our vacation, we received texts, photos, and even video updates of how our baby was doing. (We think she had a better vacation than we did!) It was like summer camp for her - one or two walks a day, lots of romping and playing with other dogs, and tons of love and cuddles in a home environment. I don’t see us ever choosing anyone else to take care of our dog. Dan is an expert at what he does, ensuring the dogs have a blast and their humans have peace of mind.

Dan has been walking our 2 Goldendoodles for a bit now. They love him, truly all I have to say is Dans here time for your walk and they are running to the gate to meet him. He is reliable, has great communication and truly cares for our fur babies! I love that I get pictures and texts after walks to let me know how it went. Highly recommend him!

We have used Dan for both dog walking and boarding. He treats our dogs likes his own and communicates very well. We enjoy getting pictures and hearing about what they are up to while we are away. If you are looking for someone who is trustworthy and easy to work with, Dan is the man!

I have only positive things to say about Dan at the Backyard Escape. The dogs absolutely loved Dan which gave me piece of mind. They have a ‘normal’ home environment with the option of going in and out of the house, play time with the other dogs and daily walks. I also got an update with how things were going which was wonderful. I would highly recommend Dan if you need a positive, worry-free place to keep your dogs.

We have never used a pet sitter before Danielle as we always had family members watch our pets. I am SO thankful for Danielle and the care she provides our animals. We have three dogs ( one of which is a senior with an array of medical needs) and two cats. Danielle always goes above and beyond. I have zero worry leaving my pets now because Danielle cares them just as if they were hers. She sends thorough updates - with pictures - and is the extremely reliable. We really love Danielle like family and we could not be more thankful we found her - and our pets agree!

Danielle and Launa are the best! I highly recommend their services! We have a Bengal cat who absolutely adores them! We always get updated pictures and check-ins and it is so nice to know our cat Gus is in great hands when we are away! So thankful and grateful for such caring individuals!

Danielle has been an awesome pet sitter for me. My two dogs absolutely adore her when she visits. She and Launa are flexible when needed and completely professional. I highly recommend them!!!

Danielle and Launa are the best! They are kind, thoughtful and communicative. I trust them with my dogs care and would highly recommend them! My dogs are always happy to see Danielle and she in continuously going above and beyond to ensure all the animals in my home are well cared for!

Danielle is the best! I was astounded how she went over the top to care for our dogs. She even would send cute photos and updates regularly and I have never had a pet sitter do that! The care and love that she gives to animals is incredible. We are so grateful we found Danielle, our dogs absolutely love her. Every time we need a pet sitter we will be calling NoCo Pet Sitting!

Danielle has watched our pups several times and has always done a amazing job. I have complete confidence that they are in great hands when Danielle cares for them. She is professional and it’s obvious her love for animals. I would definitely recommend NoCo Pet Sitting for you pet sitting needs.

Danielle and Launa are AMAZING! They watched my two cats and dog while my husband and I were out of town for a week, and I came home to 3 happy animals. My dog isn't a fan of new people entering the house, but during the consultation, I could tell that they knew how to handle an unsure/uncomfortable dog. I'll definitely be contacting them the next time my husband and I have to go out of town.

Danielle is absolutely amazing. During our first consult our naughty Lab ran out the front door. Not only did Danielle chase after him, she also stopped traffic on 1st Street in downtown Loveland so he wouldn’t be hit by traffic. She truly loves and gives such great care to the animals she watches over. It is such a blessing to know our furry family member is so well taken care of while we are away.❤️

Danielle watched our 3 dogs while we were on vacation. She was exceptional! Not only was her communication excellent, she was wonderful with our dogs and paid close attention to detail. She was professional and kind. We will use her for any of our pet sitting needs in the future!

Danielle watched my cats when I was out of town and she did an incredible job! I really appreciated her thorough text updates and the adorable photos she would send. My air conditioner broke while she was watching them and she went above and beyond to make sure it was fixed. My cats are like family and I am very glad to have found someone so reliable and trustworthy to watch them!

I love this place! My family and I live rurally so there sometimes isn't a lot of choices for businesses. I found this facility when I was driving around once. They are so easy to work with and my dogs seem to enjoy it a lot. It's a clean, no frills dog kennel where they can be safely boarded, fed, and taken care of while you're out of town. The owners are kind and live on site so in the event of an emergency, someone is always there. They're about 20 minutes from the town of Hudson. They do have space for cats, but unless your cat is a particular kind of cat, I would recommend a different facility for your kitty. No offense meant! This is just a dog-oriented facility. I think they could accommodate other species (pocket pets, birds) but you have to call and ask. The prices are reasonable, and so are their hours of operation for the public. They try to keep dogs of the same family together. Same kennel, or kennel neighbors, so your dogs won't feel abandoned or separated from their housemates. The dogs are let out for play, individually, or with housemates. Not like a daycare type setting with random dogs together. We don't go out of town often, but when we do, this is the place we like our pets to be.

Great small, family owned business. Our pups are always happy when they go to stay with Mike and Heather. They aren't anxious when we pick them up and are always well taken care of.

This was our first experience with dog boarding and to say it was the best experience is an understatement! Kind, thoughtful, dog/family oriented people! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies!

Great, family owned boarding establishment. They are remarkable and will take care of your Dogs and Cats. I highly recommend

I trust them....they take great care of my three dogs..super secure...dogs have a patio and decent rooms in size..very clean. Dogs are always happy and exhausted when they get home ...they get play time and always happy to stay there.

Heather & Mike have taken excellent care of all of our dogs since they first opened 20 years ago. Our dogs tell us all the time how much they love going there. ; )

Awesome place to board your pet!! I've been taking my dog to The Grateful Dog Pet Boarding for a year now, about 7 or 8 times throughout this past year (short stays mainly, but a few weeks ago he stayed for a long stay of 10 days). He always comes home in good spirits and seems very relaxed and happy on pick-up day. He has some anxiety issues from his younger years before we adopted him and Mike and Heather provide him a safe environment during his stay with them. I highly recommend this boarding place for any dog! Mike and Heather are wonderful with the dogs and take the time to connect with your dog, creating trust, which results in a positive boarding experience. Recommended!!

This is an amazing place with wonderful owners. It is easy to get to. Everyone who I have worked with here is always kind and helpful. My dogs are always happy to go and tired when they come home.

We were very nervous about boarding our dog while going away on vacation, but we are so happy we chose to leave him here! They took such good care of him and were so helpful with any questions we had and returned every phone call. The property was large and very well taken care of and worth the drive if you want peace of mind. All of his belongings were taken care of and returned. The pricing was extremely reasonable and they require proof of vaccinations so you know your dog will be safe around others. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone and will definitely be using them to board my dogs in the future! 5 stars. Thank you for taking such good care of our Buddy!

For the past 5 years, I've only left my fur babies with my mother since they are so tiny (7 and 10 lbs) and are very sensitive to other's they don't know. For a recent trip, our only option was to board them. I picked The Grateful Dog based off of their reviews, the fact that they only let dogs from the same family out in the yard together and will let my grazers free feed. I immediately felt comfortable leaving them there and didn't worry about their care while we were gone. We've left them in Heather and Mike's care twice so far and will keep doing so when needed! They come home happy when we pick them up so I know they are well cared for.

My favorite place to take my boys, hands down. Everyone here is so kind and friendly, and they always tell me how much they love my boys. They are always so excited when they realize where we’re headed, and they come home sleepy and happy. Very reasonable pricing, very responsive, and they clearly take great care of the dogs for both daycare and boarding. I have been taking my dogs to Rogue’s for over a year now, and they have even dedicated time to working with my more reactive dog who used to be difficult around strangers and new dogs, and he is now happier than ever when we head to the farm. I’ve never had a bad experience with Rogues!

I've been bringing my big dogs (80 & 100 lbs) here for daycare for about two months - once a week. All of the staff that I've met have been friendly. It's been nice for my dogs to be able to socialize with other dogs. I do wish I could know more about where/how they spend their day. Overall I would recommend this place for daycare. (don't know about boarding)

Rogues is amazing! Always takes very good care of our pup Zimmy! He loves going up here too, always gets very excited when he sees we're on the road to rogues!

My Dudly has such a good time at Daycare. He comes home tired and happy. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The price is great, and hours are awesome for drop off, and pickup.

I love rogues farm! So does Maverick my golden doodle . He has the best time and everyone there is so nice. I do wish they sent pics or posted videos on their instagram so I could see the dogs playing and what Mav was up to but they don’t. Hopefully one day!

We love Rogues! My husband and I work long shifts and bring our pup for daycare so we are grateful for the long operation hours that make it possible. The staff is so caring - they always recognize her when we arrive. The staff care for our dog so well and make special accommodations to keep her safe and happy. Can’t say enough positive things about this place!

We have been taking our dog to Rogue's Farm in Erie for the past few years. The staff is great! They take the time to learn your dog's personality and treat each dog as if they were their own. Thank you Rogue's Farm for caring for my fur baby!

We take our dogs to Rogue's Farm for daycare. My dogs are so excited to get there and we can tell they played hard all day because they sleep so good when we get home. The staff is always so nice and helpful. We have tried other places in the past but we love the farm setting and huge outdoor yard. I highly recommend you try it out!

I will never bring my dog here again. He come home covered in urine and poop. His personality was very different as well. He seemed scared of everything was flinching to be pet. If a door closed he would get Scared, was hiding in the bedroom at home. This went on for several days. So different than the playful puppy. Boarded him elsewhere this weekend and night and day difference came back as the same dog. Seemed so traumatized after being at rogue farm.

I have been taking my dog Miles here for about 6 or 7 months now. I absolutely love it. Everyone who works here loves dogs and is so sweet to him. I love that even when he is boarding, he gets play time all day until bedtime. No locking them up in a kennel for hours at a time! So happy I found a place I can trust.

If you are looking for a good dog sitter that can handle it all, truly cares about your animals, and is a person that your animals will love and look forward to seeing look no further! My wife and i absolutely love using Mary and her company to watch after our dogs, and let me tell you, it isn't an easy task. we have three dogs ranging from an old lab who has trouble getting up the stairs, to a handicappable pibble, to an energetic lightning bolt of a puppy that enjoys long walks, carrying shoes, and digging holes under the fence. Mary is able to keep them all in line and i think the little devils actually enjoy us going out of town so they can see their friend! our Cat also loves Marry and she does a much better job than my wife and i of not overfeeding the hungry little butt! my wife and i love our animals, and we were always trepidatious about leaving town without them. but the great people at Pets' best friend have made us feel unbelievably confident and at ease when we are away from our little herd.

Mary is reliable, trustworthy and attentive. She is a dog whisperer and really listens to their needs and handles everything. We will be using her again and I puts my mind at ease knowing they are in good hands.

Excellent, reliable service. Mary let's me know how my guinea pigs are doing while I'm away and when I return, the pigs are always happy and healthy. I can't tell you how valuable this service is for someone who has to travel frequently. I can't recommend them enough!

Wonderful experience. Will use in the future and refer any time. My dog enjoyed her company during a recent trip out of state. She even came over to cover for us when the plane delayed.

Mary with Best Friend’s was a great experience. If you need a pet sitting company to watch your pets she is your best option in Greeley Colorado!

Can't recommend enough. I was put at ease from the first consult. BOTH Mary's are great!

I can't use enough superlatives to describe the services provided by Creature Connections. All of the walkers are caring and reliable. My beagle Lucy loves them all. Michelle is helpful and flexible- has helped me to have peace of mind in a number of situations

I cannot even express the gratitude I have for Michelle and her team at Creature Connections Pet Sitting LLC. Within two sessions and a specialty session at a vet clinic we have a completely different dog. Our healer struggles with anxiety and had given herself a stomach ulcer, so our top priority was decreasing anxiety, and Michelle was able to provide us with easy to implement strategies that changed the perspective told our family had on how to care for her. We are able to see changes rapidly in our sweet girl. Although we understand, some things may take longer to change just the progress in the short time has been the most encouraging thing we could’ve asked for. I tell everyone how she was able to take our rescue dog and change her life!

I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience I had working with Michelle and Jen at creature connections. Their communication and friendliness along with the detailed updates after each pet visit really set my mind at ease. It’s not easy leaving pets alone at home, but with creature connections, I know I can trust that they will be taken very well care of.

I've used Creature Connections (Michelle Pietras) a few times in the past to watch my dogs and had no problems. It wasn't until the most recent time that her business practices became awful. This most recent trip, I scheduled her services on Feb1st, 2024. I never heard a word from her until 20 hours before the first scheduled visit (and 16 hours before I left on a trip) on April 1st, 2024. She informed me that instead of having 1 person come over 3 times a day, now there would be 3 different people coming over each day of my trip. She said this was necessary do to an "emergency" that came up. So instead of having 1 person (Robbie) come over whom my dogs knew and was familiar with my house, now I was going to have 3 strangers come over whom my dogs had never met. One of my dogs in particular does not do well around new people all the time so I was worried about the stress this would cause him. Since Michelle, the owner, has a very strict cancellation policy (50% penalty for cancellation with 48 hours of services), I asked for a 10% discount due to this change. She became aggressive and told me I was paying for the number of visits and not the number of different people that come over, even if it results in worse service. She then told me in each and every email as we went back and forth that I could cancel my reservation with her. Where was I going to find someone to pet sit for me just hours before I was going to leave on a trip?!? Especially when my main concern was with strangers interacting with my dogs? I was very worried she was going to be completely unprofessional and cancel on me so I just let it go at this point. Michelle eventually changed it so only 2 new people would be coming to my house each day. I paid the full price for all services rendered while I was away. Upon completion of their services, I thanked Michelle's employee who made 2 visits per day (Michelle made the other visit). However, as a sign of how disappointed I was in Michelle's handling of the situation, I left no tip on the bill. The key to understand here is that the issue that came up was 100% Michelle's responsibility as a business owner. It isn't my fault she had an employee with an emergency. I had a contract with Michelle to provide services for my dogs but she kept trying to get out of it by "letting" me cancel just hours before she was supposed to begin watching my dogs. To be clear, I accommodated her - she didn't accommodate me. Then today when I tried to schedule her services again for a business trip I have in a few weeks, she informed me she would no longer work with me. Again, it was her change in services less than 20 hours before it was supposed to begin that caused any sort of an issue. And all I did was ask for a 10% discount to make up for the change. Apparently Michelle needs to thicken her skin. To make matters worse, her mom - Marianne Morris, responded to this same post on Facebook by calling me obscene names. She went on to delete the comment after I called her out for being Michelle's mom, but it's easy to see where Michelle gets her customer service skills. I'd stay far away from Creature Connections and Michelle Pietras. She doesn't allow a customer to have an emergency with 48 hours before a scheduled visit without a 50% penalty, but she is allowed to do whatever she wants if she has an emergency less than 24 hour before a service is scheduled. Clearly, she has no idea how to run a business.

I really can't say enough about Creature Connections. They are a true godsend. I hate to leave my kitty when I'm on vacation. But I know that with Creature Connections I will always come home to a happy, healthy, well-loved kitty. Michelle, the owner, is a consummate professional and our kitty's "Aunt Robbie" has established a warm, caring relationship with our boycat. These folks truly go above and beyond. I recommend them wholeheartedly to any pet parent in Creature Connection's service area.

Michelle, thank you for presenting a super, informative puppy traning class. The information and personal hands on traing approach you displayed was truly awesome. Your knowledge and understanding of dogs is remarkable, adding to that, you are a super instructor! Keep up the AWESOME work and we hope for nothing less than the best for you and Creature Connections Pet Sitting moving forward! Pops

AMAZING. We have never left our pets at home before but we have had bad experiences with boarding our pets so we decided to give it a shot. We have two mini Aussies and my daughter's corgi. The Aussies seemed to get sick each time we boarded them in the past. I think the dogs were stressed when away from home so we contacted Creature Connections based on a great review on NextDoor. Michelle came over for the initial interview and her knowledge about what it takes to be a great pet sitter put me at ease. Then we had the great privilege of having Amela be our actual sitter. WOW - she was so attentive and caring. Our pets are a bit "much" (that is an understatement...) but Amela treated them so well. We loved the personal reports and pictures after each visit. It wasn't a little "standard" report - it was a report that showed great attention to details so we could tell she really was attentive to the dogs needs. I would recommend this company to anyone who demands the very best for their fur babies!

Remi our 4 month old German Shepard completed her first puppy class with Creature Connections. Great information and hands on training was awesome. Thank you very much!

We used Creature Connections for our cat during a recent trip. I'd give the service 10 stars if I could. Communication was phenomenal. Our kitty was well taken care of. Fees are fair. So nice to have trusted professionals on the job.

We love Creature Connections! Michelle is extremely professional and takes great care of our dogs. Any time I need to schedule a drop in visit she responds to the request almost immediately. She provides a detailed summary after each visit along with tons of pics of my pups! I highly recommend Creature Connections!!!!
