I love dogs more than people. They are selfless, innocent fur babies whose only objective is to please. We, as humans, should reciprocate that love by giving them what little they need and everything they deserve! I think i can give the dog whisperer a run for his money bc even the meanest of dogs have shown me their sweetest sides. I never blame a dog for being aggression; more so, their upbringing. Like human children, dogs become a product of their culture, what they're exposed to. I'm here to show i love them, i understand them, and i'm on their side.

Your dog is my dog. All dogs deserve to be loved. This became even clearer as a volunteer at a no kill shelter in NC. I had the privilege working with dogs and cats. I grew up with dogs and now while I don't own a dog anymore I get to own many dogs. Walking dogs and dog sitting has greatly increased the size of my family. Will your dog be a part of my family?

I'm a stay-at-home mom to 2 kids and Duke, our 7-year-old Black Lab mix rescue dog, who we all spoil. After standing in for my daughter on a dog walking job for a neighbor, I realized that this is something I want to do more of myself! Besides taking care of Duke, I dog sit for a friend when she travels, have participated in the Denver Dumb Friends League Wag 'N Trail fundraising walk, and help my daughter with her own dog walking jobs. I've always owned a dog and can't imagine life without one!

Dog Boarding in Denver
The Mile-High City is a great place to live, but you’ll undoubtedly want to leave the city's snowy streets once in a while for somewhere a bit warmer. But what do you do with Fido while you're away?
Before putting your pupper up in a kennel, look at some of the excellent dog sitters and boarders in Denver. As well as providing your doggo with top-notch care while you're out of town, many sitters and boarders offer dog walking services in Denver. With your permission, your canine caregiver can take your pupper on an on-leash adventure down the Highline Canal.
Unsure about the best options? Here's everything you need to know about dog sitting and boarding in Denver.
Average Cost of Dog Boarding in Denver, CO
You'll find a mix of luxury and basic Denver dog boarding facilities during your search. Luxury services will pamper your pup with a huge room with a human bed, flatscreen TV, and lots of toys. Your pooch will also get lots of outside playtime and treats to keep them happy. However, luxury accommodation for Fido doesn't come cheap and can cost between $100 to $125 per night.
Basic kennels are a less expensive option. Kennels cost around $50 per night, but your pup won't be as comfortable as they are at home or in a fancy suite. Basic kennels also might not suit your hound if they're skittish or suffer from anxiety.
Make sure you check your chosen accommodation’s pricing structure, as many places will charge extra for walks and food. Many boarders will require proof of vaccinations and microchipping before letting your canine companion stay.
Another option is to book a dog boarder on the Wag! platform. Your pupper will love having a sleepover at a caregiver's home. Boarders also charge as little as $39 per night, making this one of the most affordable options around.
Average Cost of Dog Sitting in Denver, CO
You might be a bit wary of taking your fur-baby to stay somewhere, and you may prefer they stay at home. Denver dog sitters charge between $70 and $90 for an overnight stay.
Dog sitters in Denver are in high demand. As a result, you should try to book your chosen sitter around a month in advance. Most sitters charge additional fees for travel expenses and pet supplies, so you may find yourself paying substantially more than the base price.
Overnight sitters generally stay from 8 pm to 8 am, so you'll need to arrange a separate visit during the day so your woofer can go for walkies. Always read the fine print when signing up for a dog sitter near you, as most have hidden fees.
Dog Boarding in Denver, CO
