Exploring the world, one house-sit at a time!
Michelle was great! House was taken care of while I was away and I returned to a very clean home with happy cats. Michelle was self-sufficient. Would love to have her again. Thanks!

Working professional available to care for your pets!
Helpful, kind, considerate! Erin listened to the details, kept my critters safe and healthy for my return. I had a full body exhale seeing how clean my space was when I returned home late last night. She even put clean sheets on my bed. An absolute delight - I hope our paths cross again!

We'd love to be your trusted pet/house sitter for your upcoming adventure.
Dave and Kathleen are fantastic sitters. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them during their stay. They took wonderful care of our pets, ensuring the dogs were walked and everyone got lots of love every day. They took great care of our house and hot tub and left the house in spectacular condition. We cannot thank them enough for staying with us and we would not hesitate having them come back for another visit.

Christina was an amazing sitter, she took great care of Bella and the house!! She was extremely kind, super communicative, gave us regular updates of Bella, and left the house very clean and was overall great! Would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a sitter :)

Richie was a great house/pet sitter. We communicated well before his sit and he arrived right on time. My dog, Snickers, took to Richie immediately and didn't even bark when he showed up at our gate. Usually she alerts me to people arriving at the house but she let Richie right in. He sent photos and updates while I was gone. Easy pet sit!

"Loving Your Pets Like You Do" for over 25 Years
If you are fortunate enough to have Nan and Sandy as your sitters, you will be able to fully exhale and relax on your trip. They are extremely organized, wholehearted, reliable, and thoroughly experienced. The moment they entered our home for a walk-through, our senior cat Poseidon instantly felt comfortable. They were wonderful about sending daily pictures, often with a dash of humor, and they even created a new cat toy for him, which continues to be a wild success. Our home was also just as clean as when we had left, which is of course a huge bonus. I hope we’ll be able to book them again in the future.

Digital nomad looking for furry companions
This was the only difficult sit we have had in several years and 17 different sitters with TH. It was originally planned for 6 weeks and we always meet our sitters for an orientation and to get a "vibe". She could not meet us ahead of time. However, since she had a five star rating, we took a risk and left without waiting for her arrival which was much later than expected. By the end of the first week we were frustrated with her irregular and snarky communications. (She was often too "ill" or "tired" to give us updates on our aged kitty.) At one point we were afraid she might need medical attention since we were unable to reach her for almost 24 hours so we asked a neighbor to check on her which she found very upsetting. Later, when the neighbors complained that a man who appeared to be living out of his car was parking at different places in our neighborhood and going to our home to stay the night we'd had enough. Since we were 2000 miles away, we contacted TH and our neighbors for help and ultimately told her to leave. After our neighbors escorted her off the property we discovered the kitty box was overflowing and his fresh water dish was empty. Our closed off master bedroom was being used as a storage facility for her/their personal items. To her credit however, she did take the time to vacuum and straighten while the neighbors waited to ensure a smooth exit. A neighbor immediately changed the locks and the garage door code. A troubling experience.

I love traveling and I love pets so this is the perfect compromise for me!
We would rate Laetitia with 5 stars! She was excellent in all respects. Our dog, Sparky loved her and misses her now. She did everything we asked and more. If we have an opportunity to use her again, we would certainly do so.

It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Raquel was simply terrific! She and her husband, Miguel, had to fill in at the last minute for another sitter who had a death in her family. This meant that the length of the stay and sitting they had originally signed up for doubled. Completely undaunted, they did a GREAT job for us. Our cat and dog got lots of love and affection, and plenty of exercise, food, and rest. Our house and yard were cared for with equal conscientiousness. It was wonderful for us to be able to rely so completely on these super zeewoi. We recommend them 100 percent!
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.

Cindy and her team are not just the best care we could find for our pets it’s the best service I’ve ever heard of. While we were out of the country one of our pets had an emergency situation and not only did Cindy’s team recognize immediately that something was wrong she solved the problem. If it were not for this amazing team our little Daisy may not be with us. If you need pet care while you’re away you will not find a better option.
We've been using VIPet's services for our last several trips out of town, and feel very happy to have found a sitter service who we trust completely with our home and our pets. We receive photos from the sitters at every visit, and you can tell the owner, Cindy, takes pride in providing dependable service from sitters who are true animal lovers. My only recommendation for the sitters would be to ensure that all overhead lights that were turned on during the visit, are turned off upon their departure.
Cindy and her crew have been taking great care of my Orion (cat) for over 2 years now and I would highly recommend them for any pet-sitting needs you have. At the end of every visit I get a text with photos and an update on how Orion is doing and that is very comforting. Solid, reliable, responsive….what more can you ask for? 5 stars for sure!
VIPet Sitters Services always come through with all needs. Cindy is a one of a kind gem! So thankful to have found them!
Incredible Pet sitting service, we have used VIPet a handful of times now with more upcoming. While getting set up for service they are very thorough in getting as much information as possible to ensure they can provide excellent service for your pet. Claudia, has been absolutely fantastic and has made our out of state travel stress free with frequent updates and detailed logs of her visits. Highly recommend and will be using again as long as I live in this area.
I have used VIPets several times for taking care of my senior cat and keeping my plants alive, both indoors and out, while I’ve been away for sometimes extended trips. The kindness and professionalism of everyone who has come has been exceptional. Getting daily texts and pictures helps me see how things are going and is reassuring. I have only one frustration and understand that it is being addressed. A couple of times there has been missed communication while setting up initial visits - I have sent emails that were not seen until days later, causing confusion and flurries of last minute texts or calls. This has happened on two separate trips months apart which is why I mention it. I believe that issue is supposed to be resolved in the upcoming weeks. I advise using text messages as the best way to communicate reliably. I’m definitely a repeat customer!
This was our first time using VIPet Sitting - or any pet sitting service - for our kitty Valkyrie and it was a wonderful experience! Cindy and her team took excellent care of our little lady while we were away and provided daily updates that really helped us feel better about leaving her home for a few days for the first time since we’ve adopted her. I would definitely recommend VIPet Sitting to anyone in the area looking for reliable, caring folks to look after their pets. We had a great experience and we’ll definitely be using VIPet Sitting again in the future!!
I highly recommend Cindy and her amazing team at VIPet Sitters to anyone who could use their services. It was our first time using at-home pet services and it was exactly the experience we had hoped for. Constant communication, updates, pictures (we so appreciated all the many pictures!) and we arrived home to two very happy very well cared for pups. Cindy requested that I message her once we were physically back together with our girls. Rather than assuming we made it home at the expected time, Cindy makes sure of it before considering the job done. I really appreciated that. For years when they were younger, our girls would board at a pet hotel whenever we would leave town. They were always very well taken care of but our one pup who has a bit more separation anxiety would have a desperate and frantic excitement about her when we would pick them up. Even though they were well taken care of, it was a stressful experience. When we arrived home this time though, they were both excited to see us but there was no desperation in their excitement. We came back to two sound asleep pups who had been well taken care of in their own home by some really great folks. To Cindy, Shannon, Daniel, and Mindy - Thank you so very much for taking such great care of our girls. You guys awesome!
We've used VIPet Sitters for several years now to watch our two kitties. They have been amazing with our boys over the years. They give picture and text updates every time they come over and make sure they get some love and attention while we are away. Recently, both our kitties were put on medication. They did a great job giving the kitties their meds with no issues (which is hard for cats)! I would definitely recommend VIPet for your pet sitting needs.
VIPet Sitter has taken care of my animal many times in the last 2 years. They have been amazing every single time and I know I can trust them with my animals. One of my cats got sick while I was away, and Cindy personally came and took my cat to the vet and communicated with me the whole time about what was going on and how I wanted it handled. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
We’ve been taking our dogs to Waggin Tails regularly for daycare and boarding the last three years, and I cannot say enough about how wonderful this place is. The staff are all so incredibly kind, and treat both of our dogs with such great care. Our big guy pouts until we take him to daycare, and doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day. 🥹🩵
we have been bringing our 6mo guy to waggin’ tails for the last few months. bucky always knows when we turn onto the street where he’s going, and goes absolutely nuts if you ask him “wanna go to school?” leaving your baby in the hands of others is scary, but we know 100% for sure that he has the most amazing time getting all the love, pets, and plays with friends every time he goes. yesterday was beach day, and since he didn’t finish his ice cream we were able to bring it home for him to enjoy when he wanted (see evidence below). 10/10 recommend! <3
We are so happy we found this place. Our Standard Poodle, Hazel, LOVES going here for daycare. She will be boarded soon and I'm sure she will have a great time. Everyone is so nice. Our first visit was to see how she would do with other dogs and then she stayed the day and had a blast. When I picked her up, I got a tour of the place so I could see what the kennels look like. They are very spacious and clean. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our fur baby and making us feel comfortable that she has such a safe place to go.
I hate boarding my dogs, but I had to and looked all around me for a place with good reviews and landed on this one. Had to leave them there for three days and when I got them back, they were worn out but happy. The staff there is so incredibly nice. All of them. You can watch your little Muppets on camera during playtime, which makes being away from them just a little bit easier. I'll definitely be bringing my guys back.
A Pawsitively Wonderful Experience at Waggin Tails Dog Resort!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I've been bringing my beloved puppy Kona to Waggin Tails Dog Resort for the past few months, and I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care and services they provide. If you're looking for a top-notch doggy haven, Waggin Tails is the place to be! From the moment you step through the doors, it's evident that the staff at Waggin Tails is not just professionally trained but also genuinely passionate about caring for our furry friends. The level of love and attention they shower upon each dog, including my energetic Kona, is heartwarming. One of the standout features of Waggin Tails is their commitment to creating a fun and engaging environment for the dogs. They regularly host entertaining events, such as pictures with Santa, the Puppy Bowl, and other exciting activities. These events not only provide a delightful experience for the dogs but also create a sense of community among pet owners. The facility itself is impeccably clean, reflecting the staff's dedication to maintaining a safe and hygienic environment for all their canine guests. The professionalism displayed by the team at Waggin Tails is truly commendable, and it instills confidence that your pet is in good hands. What sets Waggin Tails apart is their ability to strike a balance between fun and safety. Whether it's playtime in the spacious and secure play areas or nap time in cozy accommodations, Waggin Tails ensures that each dog's individual needs are met. In conclusion, Waggin Tails Dog Resort has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. If you're seeking a reliable, loving, and professional environment for your furry family member, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend Waggin Tails to any pet parent looking to provide their dog with a pawsitively wonderful experience!
I can tell these guys really care about my dog. I get behavioral updates if he shows any signs of nervousness or anxiety, and they offer helpful suggestions. They also call him “Mr. Timber” instead of just Timber, so I can tell they enjoy him. It takes a huge weight off of my mind to know my dog is so well cared for
We love Waggin Tails!! Absolutely the best place for big dogs! Our pup loves it here and the staff is always great!
Our neighbors recommended Waggin' Tails to us and we're glad they did. Our boy Ollie has been having fun meeting new fur friends and the staff is amazing. We have two older dogs at home who won't play with Ollie so we started bringing him here to doggy daycare. Ollie comes home tired from a day of fun. And my personal favorite touch is the bowel of candy at check out!🙌🍫🍬🍭
We have a very energetic Goldendoodle. We take him to Wagging' Tails so he can socialize and play. Every time he goes, he has the best day of his life. He come home happy and EXHAUSTED! The staff is always friendly and attentive to our puppy. We rest assured our baby boy is well taken care of when we drop him off. I mean, look at his face!! Happiest pup in all of Denver!
If i could more stars i definitely would!! First time boarding and it was more than I expected. We left our girl V here for a week and she was so well taken care of. The staff are super friendly and the prices are great. I am so thankful for them..after 8 years my husband and I can finally travel together and know our baby is having a blast! You guys rock!
Pen was amazing to work with from the start. Came over a couple times to get to know the dogs. I have two senior dogs and puppy. We needed someone to stay with them overnight and check in several times during the for a short weekend trip. The dogs were well cared for, have medical needs. The house and even my plants were well care for but mostly my dogs were very well taken care of. I would highly recommend the Pet Nanny and will definitely use them again! Lisa Miller
Peni is amazing! I’m so glad I found The Pet Nanny of Colorado! She is professional and took great care of my two dogs. I’m forever grateful to her because she was willing to be on-call while I went into labor. She was very accommodating and communicative throughout her care. She gave me a piece of mind that my dogs were in good hands! I highly recommend The Pet Nanny of Colorado for all pet sitting care! Plus you can tell she has a passion for animals which made me very happy and secured knowing my dogs would be safe and have their needs met.
Wow! That’s my first and main opinion of this company. My wife and I were looking everywhere to board our dogs while we went on a family vacation, but I couldn’t afford to spend over $100/day, and knowing I’d still need someone to come and look in on our cats and chickens. The relief I felt when we hired Pet Nanny of Colorado was overwhelming. Peni was fast to respond, had fair and honest pricing, and stayed in contact with us frequently during our trip. She hung out with our dogs, played with our cats, and checked on the three chickens twice a day and also sent pictures. She even handled a (what I would imagine) rather unexpected ant problem with the dog food, scooped the litter boxes and brought in our packages. When we arrived home our animals were overjoyed to see us, but you could tell they were happy. I would 10/10 recommend and will absolutely be using them again!
We have worked with The Pet Nanny twice now, and are comforted knowing our fur babies are well cared for while we are away. Since my husband and I both work from home we are always with our cats and Guinea pig. Traveling, knowing we are leaving them behind, is stressful; we feel so grateful to have found The Pet Nanny. We were sent pictures and updated on how things were going. The house was clean, and everyone seemed relaxed when we returned home. Thank you!
Peni and Lori have taken care of our dogs for a very long time. They care for them and love them as if they are their own. I feel very confident when I leave on a trip that my dogs are well taken care of . I now have a special needs dog and I know they take very good care of her and do what is needed for her condition. I highly recommend them for your pet sitting needs.
The pet nanny is always willing to work with my schedule. Which sadly for me changes all the time, but i never have to worry about my furry friends. My dogs have been calmer since the pet nanny has been giving them a daily walk. I recieve pictures and updates about the dogs walk. They are affordable for two dogs being walked. They also provide the bags so there is no extra expense to me. Over all they are very easy to work with.
Peni and Lori take care of pets like they are their own. I have a special needs dog and I know they will take excellent care of her. I’ve used them to take care of my dogs for many years, and I know they’re well cared for every time I leave. I would highly recommend them to take care of any pet. They’re fantastic
We are so happy to have found Peni and The Pet Nanny to be the guardian of our little angel dog "Eddy" when we can't be with her. Peni is so warm, loving, responsive, and attentive, I swear Eddy just waits for us to leave every morning, because the sooner we leave, the sooner she can get her Pet Nanny visit for the day! I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Amazing pet sitters. Peni and Lori have been watching our dogs for close to two years now. They love and care for them as much as we do. They have always gone out of there way to work around our schedules and we are lucky to have them in our lives.
I have used Pet Nanny for years for my cat Miso. I always know Miso will be well cared for. They respond quick to text if I have concerns or when I request care. They were flexible when travel return date was interupted due to cancelled flight. Let me know my pipes froze when I was gone and were helpful in getting them thawed. They are professional and their service is a good value for me and Miso.
This dog training crew nailed it with the line of services offered. Anyone who knows me knows I love my dog, quite often more than most people! But one thing I cannot tolerate is a dog that has no manners. Yes, they exist, believe it or not. The line of services offered ranges from in-person, one-on-one, and including the owner in the training as well. However, the service that they offer that many others do not is simple, but essential, an evaluation! Evaluations are crucial to you and your pup. This will inevitably steer you both in the right direction. Dogs of Denver offer an in person or virtual evaluation to explore the best options available for you both. What you may think is the biggest issue with your dog, may very well not be. Take it from me, personally. I went through this. I thought my dog needed to be trained on how to accept visitors in my home. I thought this because she would always go under the bed or under the couch when the doorbell rang. Not the case. She actually needed to be trained on how to allow people into her space. Two totally different issues that I had no idea of! Give Dogs of Denver a chance; for you and your pup! You won’t be disappointed.
Highly recommend the puppy essentials program! 6 sessions for a very reasonable price. We saw big progress during each session and our trainer made sure to address all of our specific concerns by the end of the program. We’re very against choking collars or any kind of training that uses pain and fear. This program is all about positive reinforcement training, and it works! Our sweet golden is so much better behaved now and he does it with a wagging tail and a smile. Thanks guys!
Having a new puppy is intimidating - so much to learn and wanting to do it right made me so overwhelmed. Dogs of Denver is so accommodating and considerate. I have a really complicated schedule and Samantha worked with me to make sure we got all our sessions scheduled. She was always on time and made sure our training sessions were packed full of good stuff that my puppy, Juniper, is now so much better behaved, has such a solid foundation, and seems much happier now that we have better communication and understanding. I definitely recommend this company to anyone interested in not only training their dog(s) but who also want to understand how to better communicate with them too. I feel I have a better foundation as a dog parent, now, too!
Cannot recommend enough! My dog Tate is a rescue and has a lot of anxiety, we tried a few different trainers with no success. After getting some tips and training from Happy Paws, he is so much better behaved out in public, listens to us, and has great manners around the house. Thank you so much for your help!!
Samantha was fantastic in helping us with our new rescue pup, Milo. We did both the One-On-One Essentials and Advanced Course and are very pleased with the skills and progress Milo has been able to learn, now just at a mere 6 months. Samantha was knowledgeable, informative, and helped us focus on specific areas where Milo needed more attention. It was extremely beneficial to have Samantha work with Milo one-on-one and then review the training skills at the end of each session with us. We also loved receiving our weekly email assignment(s), which helped advise us on what to continue focusing on for each week. Milo is still in his puppy stage but we are happy to know he has the skills and ability to flourish as a well trained pup. We plan to continue practicing all his learnings while he continues to mature but will definitely use Dogs of Denver/Samantha again in the future for any additional training needs.
As someone in the animal science field, I’ve seen a lot of relationship dynamics between pets and their owners firsthand. A sad but unfortunate truth that many don't realize is that neglecting to train your pet is choosing to not learn to communicate with them. Obedience training is an especially important step because it lays down your ground rules. This website is great because it has basic online obedience training guides that are essential to a dog’s overall health in cognitive development! Learning basic obedience training aids in developing a healthy relationship and bond between pets and owners by allowing communication and emphasizing trust. These guides break it down step by step to make it easy to understand at an affordable cost. I loved this training guide!
I have had other dog trainers (with other dogs) and this was by far the best experience. From the first contact and all thought the training program, it's been a great experience. Samantha was great and very responsive. She listened to our concerns, frustrations, and difficulties and provided instructions and tips that helped, a lot. I think our little guy, Teddy is going to be the best companion ever.
We used the obedience training and it included such great information! There were a lot of great tips and tricks that are not included in your normal internet searches which I found to be extremely beneficial. I was unaware of a lot of things - specifically when it comes to reinforcement and anxiety that I was able to put to good use with my pup! Most importantly, my pup isn't a good listener. I've been able to put the information to good use and while he's a work in progress, I am seeing the progress. Thank you for all the information in your obedience training 101!
Our trainer Sam was amazing!! My pup Zoe adored her and we both learned so much from her! She provided me with great tips and is very knowledgeable, professional and sweet! Thanks for all the progress made, Sam!!!
An impulsive purchase of my pup was less stressful with the Dogs of Denver training! I took my rambunctious Corgi puppy to the classic obedience training course and I loved the hands-on factor of the course! I got to work with my dog alongside the trainer it was perfect! During the pandemic, an at-home obedience class was so ideal. The six sessions that are an hour each helped us work on specific skills without being too long and tiring my dog out. They truly care about their clients which can be hard to find. The wide range of services they offer can cater to any owner. Once my puppy gets older I will definitely enroll him in their personalized private training, so the trainers can match my dogs' specific goals!
I'm trying to review this based off my dogs experience since she's the one that loves this place. Checkin and checkout can take time during peak hours so be prepared for that and some confrontation in the lobby between the furballs. But CityBark worked with my dog who at first was reactive until she got used to daycare and now she loves it here and the staff treat her like their best friend. They even do photo days!
We were looking for puppy daycare and I found a really great option with City Bark Broomfield. Our puppy LOVES to go play with other dogs and we love knowing that we are leaving him with staff that is friendly, helpful and awesome!
My dog’s been going to daycare at the Broomfield location and recently did her first time boarding. She’s a rescue and loves other dogs, but is iffy on people and new experiences, but they have a good vibe there and she’s had a great time. She even likes the people. And, she loves the playtime. It’s been great for us.
Stopped in to check out doggie daycare for my dog. What a great place! Staff was amazing (shout out to Lisa!) and was really impressed with the facility. Great options at various price points that can fit most budgets. I will def use City Bark for day care and boarding.
This place seems very reputable online, but I’m not sure what how to feel about it after two stays. My dog stayed for about 5 nights about 2 months from each stay. The price had doubled for the second. It was around the holidays, but I would’ve appreciated a heads up. When I said I wasn’t expecting that much, the lady told me the price hadn’t been that for over 6 months. During his actual stay his first time he did not get a whole lot of playtime even though I paid for it. He was scared to go back, but seems happy enough after I picked him up, but 350 for 5 nights happy? I could’ve driven to my home state 10 hours away with him and spent less in gas. I feel the value of what you actually get is laughable. My dog seems to be a number in a system compared to other daycares. He went to one for only 110 for 5 nights and got FULL daycare included, not just half. The staff knew me by name, even when they did not meet me upon drop off. They also gave him a full assessment. Something that not even my long time daycare of two years did not provide and discounted days for joining. If you are looking at this place, I would recommend a tour and to watch your dog closely to make sure you are getting your moneys worth. There is lots of option and this one is the Walmart of doggie daycares.
We have gone to City Bark’s for a long time- and specifically Broomfield for the last year. I’ve always appreciated their service and my dog always enjoys going for daycare or boarding. Today the staff really went above and beyond, specifically Jamie, who answered the phone when I called asking if they could send a photo of my dog (who is being boarded) because I had a really hard day. Not only was Jaime beyond kind and understanding, the staff sent a picture of my dog shortly thereafter with a sweet message. I will always recommend City Bark Broomfield, but this really showed me how great of a team they are!
Been going to City Bark since we moved to Broomfield about a month ago, and its night and day difference in how my dog reacts to getting dropped off. At our old daycare, she would whine and resist going back with them, but at City Bark she wags her tail in the lobby and seems to have much more fun. It's also nice to see the cams where the pet attendants actually play with her, where at the last place I'd see her begging for pets and getting ignored. The enrichment options, while a little pricey (not unfairly tho), also really helped her get used to the new environment.
City Bark Broomfield: A $760 Lesson in Subpar Pet Care If you’re looking for a premium boarding facility where your beloved pet can return home happy, healthy, and clean, do not choose City Bark Broomfield. My recent experience was appalling, to say the least. After spending $760 for an extended stay, my dog came home baptized in urine—not a faint odor, but an overwhelming stench that required four (yes, four) thorough baths to remove. His bedding and toys were similarly soaked in filth, leaving my car and home reeking of neglect. This wasn’t just an oversight; it was outright negligence. The management’s excuses were equally infuriating. They claimed my dog “notoriously pees in his room,” which is blatantly false. Even if this were true, how does that justify allowing him to stew in his own waste for days? Their “solution” was to offer a complimentary bath for future stays. Future stays? After this, I wouldn’t trust them to watch a stuffed animal. Communication during and after his stay was riddled with vague explanations, hollow apologies, and zero accountability. For $760, you’d expect top-tier care, not a facility that treats your pet like a medieval prisoner locked in a dirty cell. I strongly advise pet owners to think twice before trusting City Bark with their furry family members. They may have a slick facade, but behind the scenes, your pet might as well be on their own.
I always hate traveling and leaving Avie behind. Honestly this was one of the most stress free I’ve been leaving her. The ability to just send a text and look at the play cameras put me at ease. To the point where I didn’t feel the need to check in on her one of the days I was gone. The report cards that told me the feeding was one of my favorite parts since I got an accurate read on how much she ate for each of her meals. I will definitely send her back for boarding. Thank you guys so much for taking care of Avie while I was gone for the weekend!
I send my dog to daycare here occasionally and have had a good experience. I can find her playing on the webcams throughout the day and she comes home very tired out. The new client unlimited daycare month package saved me so much money for the first month. The one negative is that drop off in the mornings can take a really long time due to only 1-2 people working the front. The workers are doing their best but it’s a bit frustrating to wait in line 20 minutes to drop off my dog and then be late for work as a result.
We’ve had a great experience with Country Barn Kennel. They were wonderful about taking the time needed for my active dog to gradually get comfortable socializing with other dogs. We now do regular daycare and boarding as needed. It’s become her home away from home.
The kennel staff are professional and get to know your dog, making it easier for your dog to love it there! I was so excited to see the large play area so my dog could run and play. It's great to be able to recommend this kennel as a great option for vacations, daycare, or just to socialize. It's been a huge help, and my dog loves it! Thank you!
Amazing! My dog, a Great Dane mix, comes home exhausted from being allowed to play all day. Such a lovely change from other places where he was often left to play by himself because of his size. We have been going for over a year and have nothing but good things to say. Highly recommend!
Robert and Fred are fantastic! We boarded our dogs at Country Barn Dog Kennel for 9 days/nights, and it is clear that they were well-loved while we were gone. Highly recommend and will use again.
I’ve been bringing my dog here for daycare and boarding for years now and highly recommend Robert and his team
Robert is so flexible and accommodating! His kennels are spacious and his open space is huge for the dogs! He is well organized and always available through text/call. It’s a great business and they take great care of our Rottweiler.
Robert and his family have cared for our young pup twice this year, a pup who has never been boarded before. Robert sent regular updates and took great care of Goose. We’ll continue to use this business and happily recommend it to our friends and family. I’m sure Goose is looking forward to future visits. 😀 …
Staff is very friendly and prompt with pick up and drop off. I did daycare almost all day ( 8 days) and you can tell they pay attention to not only the dogs but the space they have for them. Amazing place if you have a dog that could run for longer than you’re able to in order to tire them out. This is my preferred choice in daycares around here!
I can not thank the owners enough for caring for our hyperactive Australian Shepard, Theo, while we were packing for a move. They played with him and allowed him to run around and burn off some of his energy! They are super friendly and great people to watch your fur babies! We are super sad to leave the area and can only hope to find a place with caring and loving people as CountryBarn Dog Kennels!
Great place, very clean. My husky loves them and I feel I can take more vacations knowing my dog is being taken care of. Thanks for making it affordable and showing my dog the TLC that she is used too. I definitely recommend this kennel. 👌 …
Moving to a new city and trying to find reliable pet care is always a challenge. However, I was incredibly fortunate to find Sirius Pet Care. Mickey and his team are reliable and I never had to worry that my corgi boys were in anything but loving care. Could not recommend them enough.
Sirius Pet Care goes above and beyond with every service that they offer. When we hire Mickey, we laugh that our pets get more attention and walks with him there, then while we are home. He takes them on fabulous walks around the neighborhood, letting them explore and run. His notes after every single visit let us know that our pets are happy, and in turn, that makes us thrilled. There is no one else we would hire to take care of our very loved pets.
We live in Arvada and have used Sirius Pet Care several times. Each time Mickey and/or MJ have done an excellent job. Initially we had a meet and greet and the dogs instantly took to both of them. We've had them come for daytime walks/feedings if we're gone for several hours to staying overnight for several days. We're always very happy with their service and would definitely recommend them for anyone in the area that needs any of their services.
Mickey did a wonderful job taking care of our cat. Five days before we left on vacation our dog passed away. Our cat Oscar and our dog Luke were best buddies. Oscar was depressed and would not eat prior to us leaving. I was very worried about Oscar and did not want to go on our trip. This was the first time I hired Mickey to pet sit and I am very pleased I did. Mickey gave Oscar the attention and love he needed. Oscar did well, he started eating and actually gained weight while we were gone. Having Mickey check on him every day gave me a piece of mind that put me at ease! Thank you so much Mickey! I will definitely refer you to our friends and use your services for all future trips. Sincerely, Debbie Redmond, Arvada
Mickey and his team have been walking my dogs for four years and I couldn't be happier. All of the team care about my dogs and provide excellent care, timely visits and lots of love and attention. This is Mickey's business, not a part-time adventure, and he takes the care of his customers and their pets seriously - something I appreciate. Simply said, Sirius Pet Care is the best.
Mickey was so wonderful and patient with our sweet but sometimes difficult dog Scooter. At first, we were nervous to have someone else walk Scooter who can sometimes be aggressive but Mickey took things slow and got to know him so that Scooter was comfortable on his walks. I highly recommend him and his team of dog walkers!
We were going to Hawaii for a week and needed a dog sitter. We'd never used a professional dog sitting business before, but were extremely happy and impressed by Sirius Pet care! They spent 8 nights at our house, which included walks in the morning and at night, and they stopped by each day in the afternoon for another visit/walk. It was very affordable. They played with the dogs a ton and took great care of them -- when they stopped by after the pet sitting was over, the dogs treated them like family! (Jamey was the person we specifically had from Sirius.) We got several text message updates when we asked how the dogs were doing, which was great because our dogs are really important to us. We also have five chickens that they took good care of -- it was actually a difficult situation because we'd just introduced two younger chicks to the flock and they were getting picked on, but Jamey did a great job handling it. Couldn't ask for better. If you want a great pet sitter in the area, I'd highly recommend Sirius Pet Care!
We began using Mickey when we moved to Arvada. What a blessing to find him. He has watched our dog half a dozen times over the course of the year. He is very professional and gives our pups the love they need when we are gone. Mickey really helped me out when my father passed away by being there in just a few hours notice. I really don't know what I would have done without him. I like that he leaves notes for every visit about the dogs and how they were doing. I can't say enough great things about Mickey, his staff or Sirius Pet Care. I would highly recommend and do as often as I can.
Sirius Pet Care is hands-down the best pet sitting service I've ever used. Our dogs are family, and we were very worried about leaving them with someone unknown. We shouldn't have worried: Sirius was fully licensed and very responsible, walking us through everything, getting medical records on the puppies and learning their routines, having plans for emergencies, learning what treats to give and when, and the sitter even came out to meet us (and the dogs!) before hand. During our stay, the sitter (Jamey) stayed overnight at the house, cared for the dogs (they love him like family now), and gave us regular status updates. They also took great care of our chickens, collected our mail, and kept the house going. Great company, friendly people running it, and excellent service. The price was reasonable, as well. I would recommend them to anyone in the area who needs pet care they can count on.
Mickey and Julie treat our pup so well! She loves their visits and we always get a nice text update. The online system is super easy and they are also very responsive via text. Thanks for watching our Maisie!
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.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Miss Netty and her pet-sitting service! From the start, her warmth and kindness put us at ease. She took the time to get to know our pets and made sure we felt comfortable leaving them in her care. Miss Netty is truly amazing with communication – she kept us updated with photos and notes so we never had to wonder how things were going. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!
Miss Netty is truly INCREDIBLE!!!!! She has quickly become a part of our family and my two parrots absolutely love her company when we are out of town. we trust her with our home and our animals! She goes above and beyond in literally every aspect!! She even brings fresh fruit and snacks over for my parrots when i forget to leave some for them! So grateful for you Miss Netty! Thank you for everything!!
Miss Netty is phenomenal! She watched our 3 cats while we traveled to London and she sent us updates during every visit. She made everything so easy and put my mind at ease knowing our kids were in such good hands. I’m so happy we found her!
Netty is seriously the best. I was extremely nervous dropping off our babys at a house they have never been with people they have never met. Netty took care of our 3 dogs while we were out of town for a week. She updated me everyday if not twice a day with tons of pictures and text messages. There wasn't one moment I was worried about our dogs because I knew they were in great hands from day one. They had so much fun and were exhausted when we picked them up. Netty is such a sweetheart and very professional. 10/10 would recommend!! Will definitely book Netty in the future.
Miss Netty was great with our house of cats when we needed to leave for a long weekend. From giving them medication to playing with our cats every day, she does a great job!
Miss Netty’s pet sitting is absolutely a life saver. If you love your pet, like a child, like I do, you can be reassured that your child will be taken care of. The communication is always awesome and she sends pictures which makes me smile as I’m missing my fur baby. Highly highly recommended!
Miss Netty has done a superb job watching our dog, Olive. Miss Netty is kind, caring and does an excellent job communicating all aspects of boarding Olive with her. It makes our travels less stressful when we know Olive is in Miss Netty’s care. We love the daily updates and pictures we receive. We feel we have found a gem of a person that we can trust with Olive's care. Thanks again for everything, we are so glad we found you! Jennifer & Ryan
Netty is amazing! She is kind and compassionate and skillfully cares for my dogs as if they were her own family. While traveling out of the country recently she sent me photos and updates every day which made me feel relieved to see that they were safe and loved. I have known Netty for many years and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
We used Miss Netty's Pet Service while we were on vacation. She came over and met with our little fur babies before we left for vacation. While we were gone Netty came over every day and checked on them and played with them. We got updates every day letting us know how they were doing. Netty came highly recommended from our previous pet sitter. She's very good and I will be using her again.
Netty has taken great care of my dogs and my cat. Netty cared for our older dog that has passed away now. Even with her numerous medications and care needs as she got old she was in great hands with Netty.
I've used Wag & Purr Pet Sitting for several years now and I always recommend them to friends. This pet-sitting service is reliable and friendly. All the sitters who have looked after my cat are great and seem to truly love and understand pets. I appreciate that they'll send a pic with each visit, provide an update and pick up the mail. The online platform for scheduling is convenient and easy to use. Love this local pet-sitting company!
Molly, Ryan, and Paula were lifesavers for us whenever we were gone. They cared for our girl like she was there own. They came even when we needed a quick potty break for our girl unexpectedly.We always had detailed updates, and pictures while we were gone. In the final days of our sweet girl’s life, they went above and beyond to make our girl comfortable while we had to be away on a family trip. It meant the world to know they were taking care of our dog, and also to know that someone was watching over our house as well. When we are ready to get a new fur baby, they will be the first on our list to call again!
I have used Wag & Purr Pet Sitting for just shy of a year now and have zero complaints. I rarely trust my cats with anyone other than myself, so the bar is high. Molly and Ryan are extraordinarily communicative and always reliable. They have been understanding and go the extra mile when it comes to picking up / returning my key and picking up packages while I'm gone. I highly recommend Wag & Purr Pet Sitting.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our pet sitter provided for Maggie and Ginger! We received daily updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. When we arrived home, it was clear how happy and well-loved they were during our absence. We can always tell when they’ve been sad, but this time they were their cheerful, content selves. Thank you for going above and beyond for our furry family members—it means the world to us!
We have used Wag and Purr pet sitting twice now and they have been incredible!! Very professional and responsible. Molly, the owner, is so easy to communicate with and we trust them with our pets completely. Ryan has been the one to come out to our house, feed cats and water plants. He always sends us pictures and updates. He is very professional and has the perfect personality for coming in our home and making our animals feel comfortable. I find there rates to be very reasonable and will be calling them every time we travel!!
100% Reliable. Go the extra mile while pet sitting my cat - took out my trash cans, water plants, collect packages off the porch, turn lights on and off - I consider them not only pet but house sitters too! And I love the daily “pet journal” updates and pics they send after every visit! Highly recommend!
I LOVE Wag & Purr! The owner is organized and responsive. And we ABSOLUTELY love the person who comes to our home to take care of our puppies! I couldn’t be happier!
Word of mouth is how I found Wag and Purr and I can't be happier with their service and care of our beloved dogs. They have provided overnight care for our 3 100+lbs dogs for over a year now and are fantastic! When my husband and I got stuck in another state due to a snowstorm canceling our flight home to Colorado, we were in direct communication with our dog sitter and the owner who ensured us our dogs would be taken care of no matter how long we were delayed. This gave us such comfort in an already stressful situation. If you are looking for top-notch in-home care for your fur babies, I highly recommend Wag and Purr! (Plus you get to support a woman-owned small business!)
Such a great experience with Wag & Purr! I loved the updates and pictures each visit. My dog looked like she had a wonderful time, and I could tell Ryan for sure took care of her! Can’t wait to use Wag & Purr in the future!
I’ve used Wag and Purr to take care of my three cats for several vacations now. Ryan has been the pet sitter the last few times and does an amazing job. He always sends me pictures and I can’t look very happy and playful and every photo. He topped off the litter box when it needed it and brings in the mail every day. I’m so much happier since I went to a pet care service. I don’t have anything to worry about. I know my cats will be taken care of.
I LOVE working with Eric and Krissia! Our dogs have gone to various doggy daycares and spent time with sitters on Rover, but working with Rock Paw has been, by far, one of our best experiences. I love that our girls get lots of small-group socialization when they hike with other pups, and they get to experience a wide variety of environments and lots of new smells! The Rock Paw team is flexible and kind and treats your family like their own. I cannot tell you how relieved we are to have found reliable care that we and our girls both LOVE.
Krissia at Rock Paw is a very kind and dependable dog walker. We have worked together for over 6 months. They send me updates throughout the week and my dog really enjoys their company. My dog is part of the family and it's very important to me that he is in the hands of someone who is trustworthy and dependable. I highly recommend Rock Paw!
Krissia and Eric provide amazing pet care! Our high anxiety, high energy Aussie loves her hikes with both of them. We are continually impressed by Rock Paw's incredible professionalism. The communication is top-notch and they worked with us when our dog was recovering from an Achilles tear. They have also helped with our leash training. I highly recommend Rock Paw.
We would 100% recommend entrusting your pup's walking / hiking needs with Rockpaw!! Krissia has been taking care of our puppy, Pippin (an Australian Shepherd), for the past few months now and we couldn't be happier with her level of care. Pippin LOVES Krissia, she goes nuts when she knows she's about to go on a hike with her and always comes back ready for a nap (which for an Aussie is a huge win!) - Krissia clearly knows how to make her pups happy & tire them out :D We have been working with Pippin since Day 1 to be appropriately off-leash trained and instill positive behavioural traits. Finding someone who respects our training approach and is mindful to continue it was very important to us. Krissia has been very conscientious of our training approach and has helped us to provide a consistent environment for Pippin when she's with her. We couldn't appreciate this more!! We cannot speak highly enough of the experience we have had with Rockpaw!
We have used Rock Paw for the past two years and they are the best. They walk our dog every day in the South Boulder/Table Mesa neighborhood. They always show up on time and communicate any change in schedule.
I can't say enough about the great care Krissia and Eric provide my little gal, Rhubarb. I have been working with them for about 8 months now, and I can't imagine them not being on my life support/pet care team. They are reliable, accommodating and exceedingly professional. I know when Rhubarb spends time with them that she is treated as one of their own animals. I cannot recommend RockPaw more highly!
Krissia and Rock Paw are amazing! Krissia has been hiking with my dog Eva five days a week for more than two years now and I have nothing but praise for Rock Paw. The high level of professionalism and commitment is impressive. She also does drop in visits to care for our elderly cat when we are traveling and does a fabulous job. I can't recommend Rock Paw highly enough. Oh, and Krissia's pet photography skills are unmatched.
Editing my review to say that we have been using Rock Paw for the last couple years now and we still love them - Krissia and Eric are consistently reliable, incredibly professional, and my pup always has a great time! WORTH EVERY PENNY! —— Can not recommend Eric and Krissia enough! They are super reliable, caring, and know their stuff. As someone who has worked in the veterinary field for over a decade, I am super picky with who I choose to care for my dogs - and Krissia and Eric tick all my boxes! I am so glad I found them, and trust them 100% with the care of my pets.
We met Krissia from Rock Paw when our puppy was only 9 weeks old. She has been taking care of him once a week for us for the last 4 months - and for a week when we were out of town. Krissia is reliable, trustworthy, dependable, honest....and sweet as can be! Our puppy LOVES her and has matured and grown so much from socializing with other dogs on walks, hikes, etc. If you are looking for reliable pet care, I highly recommend Rock Paw's services!
Krissia is the best pet sitter I have ever had and truly goes above and beyond. She has a genuine love for animals and it shows. She is very trustworthy, thorough and professional. I have left my cats in her care numerous times without cell service and never had to worry. I recently moved out of state and not being able to have Krissia to check on my cats anymore has been one of the hardest changes!
