Louisville pet care for the weeks you’re gone

Louisville families travel for work, for school breaks and for family back home. Pets don’t have to leave town too.

From the old mining cottages near Main Street to Steel Ranch, North End and Coal Creek Ranch, Hope or one of her sitters comes to your house. Your dog sleeps in the usual spot. Your cat keeps the window seat. Nobody spends the week in a kennel run.

A dog who hates boarding

Some dogs stop eating or pace all night away from home. An overnight sitter keeps them in the house they know.

Meds on a schedule

Seniors and diabetic pets need someone who reads the plan and keeps the times. Tell Hope what your pet needs and she’ll tell you honestly what she can do.

Long office days

If work keeps you in Denver or Boulder past lunch, a midday walk or drop-in splits up your dog’s afternoon.

Who’s in the house

Someone Hope knows personally and trained, and you’ll know who before they come. Your sitter photographs the house on arrival and departure.

Louisville spots in your pet’s care plan

Louisville keeps dogs on a leash of 10 feet or less on city trails, parks and open space, except in its two off-leash areas. Every sitter follows that, plus anything you add.

Davidson Mesa Open Space

A trail system where dogs stay on a 10-foot leash. The off-leash area on the north side is open from an hour before sunrise to an hour after sunset, and it can close when the ground is wet or muddy.

Coal Creek Trail

The regional trail follows the creek through Louisville and past Coal Creek Ranch. It suits an easy, steady leashed walk, and your walker picks up after your dog.

Community Park Dog Park

A fenced, gravel dog park in the southeast corner of Louisville Community Park, with a separate area for small dogs. Your walker only takes your dog there if the care plan says so.

Nearest 24-hour emergency vet

Colorado Animal Specialty & Emergency in Boulder is open around the clock, every day of the year. It’s written in your care plan beside your regular vet.

Louisville grew up as a coal town, and Historic Downtown along Main Street still has its early frame buildings. If your dog’s walk passes the shops and patios there, it goes in the plan too.

Other cities Hope covers around Louisville

Louisville sits between Superior, Broomfield, Boulder and Erie, all part of Hope’s regular area.

Louisville pet sitting questions

Which Louisville neighborhoods does Hope cover?

All of them. Old Town near Main Street, Steel Ranch, North End, Coal Creek Ranch, Hillsborough and the rest of the city are inside Hope’s service area.

Will my dog go off leash at Davidson Mesa?

Only if you ask for it in the care plan and your dog has a reliable recall. Otherwise walks stay on a leash, which Louisville requires on its trails and open space outside the off-leash areas.

Where would my pet go in an emergency?

Your regular vet first, during their hours. After hours, the care plan lists Colorado Animal Specialty & Emergency in Boulder, which is open 24 hours. Hope tells you right away if anything seems off.

Can Hope care for a diabetic or blind pet in Louisville?

Special-needs pets are her focus. Go over what your pet needs at the walkthrough, and she’ll tell you honestly what she can do and write the routine into the plan.

How much does a pet sitter in Louisville cost?

An overnight is $120 a night for one dog. New clients pay $100 a night for every night of their first stay. Drop-ins and walks are 20% off a new client’s first booking, and the cost calculators show the full rates.
