Erie pet care for a town that keeps growing

Erie has grown fast, and a lot of its families are new to the area. Finding someone you trust with a key and a pet takes time.

The town sits on both sides of County Line Road, with older streets in Boulder County to the west and newer neighborhoods like Colliers Hill in Weld County to the east. Hope covers Erie on either side of the line, from Vista Ridge and Erie Village to the newest builds.

A new house, a new routine

Just moved in? Your pets are still settling. Staying home with a familiar routine is easier on them than a kennel stay.

Trips out of DEN

Erie is a short drive to I-25 and the airport, so travel comes up often. Overnights mean someone is there every night you’re gone.

Pets with medical needs

A diabetic cat or a senior dog on several medications needs more than a quick check. Your sitter follows a written schedule and logs each dose.

Who has your key

A sitter Hope knows personally and trained herself. Not a profile picked by an app, and you’ll know who’s coming before every visit.

Trusted when the pet is the hard case

…with such patience and compassion.

What happens before your first Erie sit

A few steps, done once, and your pets’ care is set for every trip after.

  1. Tell Hope your dates

    Call, text or send the form with your trip dates, where in Erie you live and what your pets are like.

  2. Walk through the house

    Hope or one of her sitters visits for free, meets your pets and goes over doors, alarms, feeding spots and anything that sticks.

  3. Put the plan in writing

    Meals, medication schedules, walk routes, your vet and the closest 24-hour hospital all go on one written plan.

  4. Stay in touch

    While you’re away, you get a text and photo every day. When you’re back, the house is tidy and a short summary is waiting.

Erie walks, rules and vets in your care plan

Hope writes down where your dog walks and who to call in an emergency, so the details don’t depend on memory.

Coal Creek Trail

This soft-surface regional trail follows Coal Creek from Superior through Louisville and Lafayette and ends at Vista Parkway in Erie. Dogs are welcome on a leash.

The Boneyard at Reliance Park

Erie’s fenced dog park, with separate large-dog and small-dog areas and a short loop trail. It’s open from sunrise to sunset.

Erie’s leash law

Off your own property, Erie dogs stay on a leash. The Boneyard is the only public place in town where they can run loose, so that’s where off-leash play happens.

Nearest 24-hour emergency vet

BluePearl Pet Hospital in Lafayette, just south of Erie, is open around the clock. It’s listed on the care plan with your own vet, and Hope calls you as soon as something looks off.

Other towns Hope covers near Erie

Hope also sits in the cities around Erie, across eastern Boulder County and the north metro.

Erie pet sitting questions

Do you cover the Weld County side of Erie?

Yes. Hope covers Erie on both sides of County Line Road, including Colliers Hill and the other neighborhoods in Weld County.

Where can my dog be off-leash in Erie?

Only inside the Boneyard at Reliance Park, the town’s fenced dog park. Everywhere else, including the Coal Creek Trail, dogs stay leashed. If your dog goes to the Boneyard, put it in your care plan at the walkthrough.

Can you care for a diabetic or senior pet?

Special-needs pets are Hope’s focus. She follows medication schedules from your written care plan. Tell her what your pet needs at the walkthrough and she’ll tell you honestly what she can do.

Which emergency vet do you use in Erie?

Your own vet comes first. For after-hours emergencies, the care plan lists BluePearl Pet Hospital in Lafayette, which is open 24 hours. Hope contacts you right away if anything seems wrong.

What does an overnight cost in Erie?

$120 a night for one dog. New clients pay $100 a night for their whole first stay. For cats, more pets or other services, use the cost calculator or ask at the free walkthrough.
