Pupsicles was an absolute lifesaver. We reached out to them last minute and they were able to help us. We have never used a service before with our dog and we're VERY uneasy about having people in our home while we were away. They were great about reassuring us that everything would be okay. While we were gone they sent us photo proof that they were taking Lexi out and what activities they did with her. It made us feel so comfortable knowing that she was being well taken care of and we will definitely be using them in the future. read more

Their policy requires 8 hours to schedule a walk. And this was their response VERBATIM: After receiving your request for services we understand your frustrations- "It is 4:19AM on Monday, March 11th, and its telling me my 2:00pm request can't be completed because it requires 8 hrs. notice. Inaccurate. Annoying. Fix it." At this point in time, Pupsicles has a time requirement for submitting jobs. We made this decision as a company in order to help streamline scheduling. I apologize if this policy was not made clear during our Meet & Greet. Moving forward, we feel it would be best if you were to find a company that could better serve your needs and apologize for any inconvenience.  Some of us work in the Healthcare field and work very long, demanding hours that most people couldn't fathom. I'm mostly upset over how much they hurt my "girl." read more

I live in another city, while my elderly mom lives in Denver. Her dog got really sick this morning and had to be taken to a vet right away. My mom doesn't drive and, unfortunately, no friends could help on such a short notice. 'Pupsicles' were able to accommodate our last minute request. Pet taxi ride was arranged quickly and professionally over the phone! Sophie was at my mom's place in no time. She took our poor sick 'baby' to the vet where it received urgent treatment. Then, she brought her back home. My mom's dog feels so much better! So do we! Thank you, Pupsicles, for being there for us at a difficult time and for your great and professional service! I will definitely use it again. I only hope that, the next time, it will not be for an emergency! Thank you so, so much, Andrea and Sophie! read more

Unfortunately I can no longer recommend this company in any way. I reconnected with this company (after happily using them in 2015-16, under different owners) when I moved back to Denver in July 2020. My dog and I met the owners (at my house) shortly after the move, but I wasn't in need of care until this summer. My experience recently could not have been more unprofessional and frustrating. TL:DR, I booked 2 weeks of overnight care weeks and weeks in advance for my dog, and then a week before my trip they told me they couldn't provide any services at all and had no one to recommend. I had an email exchange about 6 weeks before my trip confirming the entire stay, and set up a meet-and-greet with the sitter for about a week before my planned trip. At the outset of the meet-and-greet, the sitter (actually one of the co-owners) had no idea of what the actual dates of my trip were (she offered that she could stay for 3 of the 12 nights I'd booked and that I should reach out to their office manager for any "additional care" I needed, despite having already booked the entire time in advance) and then asked about the "neighborhood." I live near Curtis Park - not the "best" neighborhood, but also pretty par for course for all of central Denver - ie, don't wander around in the middle of the night and don't leave expensive stuff out in the backyard and don't be stupid, but I'd always felt safe living there alone. I then got a text from Pupsicles an hour after the meet-and-greet saying the owner didn't feel comfortable staying in my neighborhood AT ALL and that they had no other sitters available. WTF?!?! Isn't this their exact business? I can't imagine any central Denver pet service NOT being familiar with 5 points/Curtis Park. It's a city neighborhood, in a city, but not more unsafe than frankly any other downtown neighborhood. Regardless, they knew my exact address (the same owner had even been there before!) - they could have at any point said that they were unable to help. Finally, one of the owners called me to superficially apologize and explained they were elimininating overnight pet-sitting from their offerings but, again, why was I not told this when I booked OVERNIGHT CARE WELL OVER A MONTH AGO? My neighborhood is squarely within the service area map on the website, and the website also lists "overnight care" as one of their services. Basically, I am now left with finding emergency longer-term (almost 2 weeks) dog boarding in the middle of summer - my flights are already booked and plans made. These issues (concerns about the area/dates/lack of availability for overnight care) could have been addressed at literally any point for the last 5-6 weeks, but instead were left until days before my trip, which puts me in a super difficult spot. Definitely avoid at all costs. read more

We've been using Pupsicles's services for over a year now and absolutely love them. Everyone of their people is caring and trustworthy, they are phenomenal at proactive communication, and they left us the nicest care package for the holidays! We do a combination of walks and hikes for our dog and we always get a clear post-walk summary each time, with pictures. After the hikes, she basically sleeps for the 24 hours. These people are fantastic! Highly recommend. read more

This is an amazing and professional dog care company where I know my dog is provided exercise, socialization, and discipline exactly like I provide for him. The team is all so friendly and they communicate throughout the day or during a trip about how my dog is doing in their care; we love getting pictures of him playing and running! With an extensive and creative list of services we always find what we need; the off leash hikes and other adventures are great departures from city walks. read more

As newcomers to the Denver area, finding a dog walking company that is on top of their game was a top priority. It took one phone call and we were set. After meeting with Pulsicles, we knew we didn't have to go any further. Their client portal is one of the best I've seen for scheduling and keeping all our pup's data secure and when you schedule a walk, we get confirmation that it's been scheduled very quickly. read more

Pupsicles did a great job setting me up quickly as a new customer and walking me through the process. They were able to do a very quick turnaround and schedule me for my pup's first adventure with them within a day! They kept me updated and informed and sent an adorable photo of my Izzy out on her walk! Would highly recommend! read more

UNRELIABLE and highly unprofessional. I scheduled with Pupsicles over 2 weeks ahead of time (both via their online system and through email). 1.5 hours before the scheduled appointment they TEXTED me saying "something came up and they have to cancel". I haven't heard back from them all day and I'm left with no last-minute options for my dog. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY. read more

Pupsicles has been a life saver for me! I've used them for check-ins with my cat and puppy, boarding with my chihuahua and vacation stop ins with my cat! They have always been reliable and friendly, and truly go the extra mile in assuring me that my little guys are loved and cared for. I've been on vacation for most of the last month and booking care for my pets was so easy and painless through their super convenient online portal. And it's such a treat to get pictures and updates emailed to me regularly while I'm away! read more

Fantastic experience with Pupsicles. Amanda was the best. Carliegh fantastic. Our dogs mean the world to us and having them take care of them was a great relief. They texted us 2 times per day and gave us updates. They made us feel at ease and enjoy our vacation. I will refer them to all of my family and friends. read more

I needed a dog walker in a pinch and was referred to Pupsicles by another dog walking service that was booked for the weekend. They were extremely accommodating and I had a meeting set up with Clara to come over and meet my dog the next night. She was great!! I got text messages from her every time she came over to walk my dog and she even took some pictures to send me. I really felt like my dog was in the best hands possible. I will be using them again! read more

I have used Pupsicles for over a year to watch Boo, our cat, while we are out for business or traveling for pleasure I LOVE that they send us daily emails and photos of Boo while they are taking care of her. She is happiest at home and so it is ideal that the Pupsicles team can come to our house to give her care and loving. I trust Pupsicles and will continue to use their service!!! read more

Very reliable and trustworthy company. Really love the feedback they send -- photos and updates every time they walk my dog.

Tremendous experience with Pupsicles! We were going out of town for a family wedding, and our pup had more of a vacation than we did!! Our not-so-little lady (mastiff) is only 9 months old, a bit emotional, and really REALLY tall when she wants to make a mess, so it was important to us that she got plenty of exercise and was exercised regularly to preserve the sanctity of our home (or at least everything less than 5 ft off the ground). We elected to have our pup stay with Pupsicles as long as the pups got along, and what a success! Prior to the trip the owner brought her dog over to see how the pups interacted -- love at first sight -- and then picked Ruth up prior to our departure, mastered her particular puppy diet to the T, and dotted the I by bringing our lady back to us practically the minute we returned home. In addition, we had updates throughout the trip as to how she was doing, and even pictures to boot! Easily the best dog-care experience we've ever had, our dog would be back tomorrow if it was up to her, and we would recommend Pupsicles Dog Care for any of your furry-friend's needs. read more

Using Pupsicles has been a great experience. Their online platform is super easy to use, there is no hassle of emailing or calling back and forth. Pupsicles is the third dog walker I have tried and I have finally found a winner. I have a high energy puppy who doesn't get along with just anyone so I was hesitant at first. The first walk was a major success and he is super excited anytime they come over. I now use them several times a week and will continue to do so. read more

Can't emphasize enough how fantastic Pupsicles is. I have a 13 yr old doxie who I got as a rescue at the age of 8, and I get very nervous leaving him in someone else's care. Pupsicles goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable; the owner is very involved and went out of her way to discuss any concerns that I might have. Would definitely recommend them to anyone who's looking for a dogwalker who truly cares about their dogs. read more

When our regular dog sitter had to cancel, we needed to find someone fast to watch our two dogs for 11 days. We were referred by our Doggie Day Care to Suzy at Pupsicles, who promptly returned my call, even though she was on her way back to Denver and just about to catch a flight. Within one day she had us scheduled for an interview and one of her staff ready to help us out. Because our dogs are high maintenance, the sitter needed to cook two meals for them each day and stay all day and all night at our house. Kate, the sitter, sent us a text each day with a report so we would feel comfortable. Everything was handled with precision and care. Our dogs seemed very relaxed and well cared for upon our return. We were very happy with the services Pupsicles provided and would use them again without hesitation. read more

Suzy and team is great. We first had Lauren and now we have Elizabeth. They have been able to help us out every time that we've needed someone. Our dog is shy and they send us texts everytime they let her out or walk her to let us know how it went. Its very reassuring! read more
