Arvada is a big city to leave a pet in

Arvada runs from historic Olde Town out to new homes against the foothills. Your pet’s routine shouldn’t depend on which side you live on.

Hope lives in Westminster, just over the city line, and grew up in Golden on the other side of Arvada. She knows this stretch of Jefferson County well, and her sitters come to you instead of sending your pet to a kennel.

No kennel stay

Your dog sleeps in the same bed and your cat keeps her window. A sitter Hope trained stays overnight or visits, so nobody gets moved.

Late trains home

Riding the G Line to Union Station and back makes for a long day. A midday walk or drop-in keeps your dog from waiting it out alone.

A pet with a medical routine

Seniors, diabetic pets, pets with cancer and blind or deaf dogs. Medication schedules go in writing, so nothing rests on memory.

Not knowing how it’s going

Expect a text and a photo every day of an overnight, and after each drop-in. If you’re nervous, your sitter checks in morning and evening.

Trusted with the pets that need more

Hope took exceptional care of our pets and home while we were away. She was dependable, trustworthy, and kept us updated with messages and photos…

How an Arvada sit gets set up

A few weeks before a trip is ideal. A sudden work trip or family emergency can work too, if Hope has the dates open.

  1. Ask

    Text, call or send the form with your travel dates, your part of Arvada and what your pets are like.

  2. Visit

    Hope or someone from her team comes over for a free walkthrough to meet your pets and see the doors, locks, food and supplies.

  3. Plan

    Meals, medications, walk routes, your regular vet and the 24-hour hospital all end up on one written care plan.

  4. Stay in touch

    While you’re gone, photos and texts arrive daily. When you’re back, the house is tidy and you get a written summary.

Arvada spots Hope plans around

Where your dog walks, which park rules apply and where to go in an emergency are settled at the walkthrough and written down.

Ralston Creek Trail

Arvada’s longest trail follows the creek across the city and links several parks. The east end reaches Gold Strike Park. The west end climbs steeply toward Blunn Reservoir, which is too much for many older dogs.

Majestic View Park

An 80-acre park with a lake, wetlands, prairie and the city’s nature center. It’s open sunrise to sunset, and every dog stays on a leash.

West Arvada Dog Park

A fenced off-leash park on the west side, with separately fenced areas for small and shy dogs. Your sitter only uses it if you approve it in the care plan.

Nearest 24-hour emergency vet

Animal Urgent Care in Arvada is open 24 hours a day, every day. It’s listed in your care plan beside your own vet, and you get a call from Hope at once if something isn’t right.

Other cities Hope covers near Arvada

Hope’s service area runs north and west from her home in Westminster up to Boulder County.

Arvada pet sitting questions

Do you cover all of Arvada?

Yes, from Olde Town and the older neighborhoods near Wadsworth out to Candelas on the northwest edge, next to the Rocky Flats wildlife refuge. Tell Hope where you are when you reach out.

Can my dog still walk the Ralston Creek Trail?

If it’s part of your dog’s usual routine, yes. Dogs stay leashed and your sitter picks up after them, on the stretch that suits your dog’s age and energy, since the far west end has a long, steep climb.

Who is the emergency vet for Arvada pets?

Your regular vet comes first in the care plan. For after-hours emergencies, Animal Urgent Care in Arvada is open 24 hours. Hope reaches you right away if anything seems wrong.

Can you care for a diabetic or blind pet in Arvada?

That’s Hope’s specialty. Bring the medication schedule to the walkthrough and tell her exactly what your pet needs. She’ll tell you honestly what she can do.

What does an overnight cost in Arvada?

$120 a night for one dog. A new client’s first stay is $100 a night. For more pets or other services, use the cost calculators or ask at the free walkthrough.
