PlayTime Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers feed, water, walk, cuddle, play with and love on your pets. But, we also do so much more!

Dog Training: Kerry Bramwell, our resident certified trainer, offers humane, effective, in-home training for dogs of all ages that includes manners, socialization, following basic commands and potty training. Kerry’s approach is tailored to your individual goals, is enjoyable, effective, and geared to build and maintain a fun, respectful relationship with your adult dog or puppy. Contact us today to learn more!

Medications: All of our pet sitters and dog walkers are qualified to give medications—from pills to injections. We have cared for numerous diabetic pets and many others with time-sensitive needs. We haven’t missed a single dose since PlayTime Pet Sitters & Dog Walkers first began. That’s over 20 years of ensuring your pets stay healthy and safe.

Doggy Park Field Trip: When it’s outdoor fun your dog pants for, we know all the best spots. Our doggy park field trips give your bow-wow up to two hours of frolicking around on the leash or off the leash in the safety of a designated, fenced area. We choose only the friendliest, safest greens that have been tried, tested and approved by us and our furry family members.

Overnight Stays: Our slumber parties keep nervous pets calm, lonely pets happy and fragile pets protected. It’s peace of mind for them and for you.

Vet Visits: The health of your animal is our primary concern. We’ll take them to the vet should something unexpected happen—no matter the time of day. Leaving a credit card on file makes it easy when it comes to paying for their treatment. Call or email us to talk about this, or anything else you’d like to know.

Not only is Susan McIntyre, owner of PlayTime Pet Sitters & Dog Walkers, an inspirational business woman, she’s also pretty darn funny. We had a quick catch-up to find out a little more about the heart behind the most trusted pet sitting and dog walking business in Colorado Springs.

What do most people not know about you?
Though I’ve developed a slight fear of heights as I’ve grown older, I still enjoy skiing, flying in ultralight planes, skydiving and parasailing. Anything really that involves extreme heights. Go figure!

What scared you most about starting your own business?
Not being able to support myself. I had no safety net. I was recently divorced, prior to which, I’d also given up a career in management to go back to school.

What are some of your greatest triumphs since starting PlayTime Pet Sitters & Dog Walkers?
That I am still here; that PlayTime has survived over 20 years. Pet sitting and dog walking businesses come and go quickly, but we are still providing quality care to so many animals and their people—after all this time! We’ve been able to help a vast amount of animals through supporting incredible rescue organizations, and have diligently gained the trust of numerous special needs animals, too.

What do you love most about what you do?
We make a difference—to animals and their people.

What would your 8-year old self say if she met you now?
This is the best you could do? We were going to save all the animals. We were at least going set all the caged ones free!

We’ve got to know, if you could be any animal what would it be?
Cat. Always a cat. But if cat wasn’t available I would go with elephant or bison. Assuming mammoth isn’t an option.

What should all new and potential clients know about PlayTime Pet Sitters & Dog Walkers?
We are good people. We really care about your animals and have every pet’s best interest at heart. So many animal-related businesses don’t. This isn’t just a job for us. Our lives revolve around caring for animals. We take a tailored approach with each and every pet we sit for, which is why we ask all clients to fill out a lengthy questionnaire. Our sole aim is to care for your animals exactly as they need, with respect and excellence.
