We take the safety of your pet very seriously. Acheiving this certification means we're better able to identify signs of a life-threatening emergency and quickly create a plan for when a pet emergency occurs, and know some basic skills for limiting damage or starting treatments for some common emergencies.

Two first aid certifications? YES. We also completed the Pet First Aid course by the American Red Cross and use their app and offline resources in the field if the need should ever arise.

Your dog is in capable and prepared hands everytime they're with us. 

We're invested in the well-being of your pet! Steamboat Pets is the only Fear Free Certified pet sitter in Steamboat Springs/Routt County. This science-based certification in animal body language, dog walking, pet behavior, training basics and enrichment, allow us to create stress-free experiences and offer top-level care. 

We can help with reading dog and cat body language and provide ideas for how enrichment and training can be incorporated into the pet’s environment and routine, promoting not only a calmer pet-sitting stay but also a richer, more fulfilling life. This certification is renewed annually so we're always up to date with the latest guidance and training.

As a member, we advocate for dog friendly lifestyle opportunities in our community. 

Much of this is focused on creating optimal off-leash areas; off-leash exercise can help promote proper muscular-skeletal growth and healthy brain development.
