Silver Whiskers

My husband & I moved to Stapleton in June of 2011. We have used Steva exclusively as our dog sitter since a few months after moving to Colorado. We have 3 dogs that we love dearly (Andy, Lucy, & Shelby). My husband works 12 hr shifts and I was a busy nursing student the entire time we’ve been here, now I too work 12 hr. shifts also. So needless to say we definitely need a pet sitter. Steva has been a life saver. She and her staff have been very accommodating, even with short notice. They gave my dogs meds when needed and even fed our fish and watered the plants. They took care of the dogs weekly and Steva stayed at our house several times while we were out of town for days or wks at a time. They also sent us pics and gave us updates of the pups. I highly recommend Steva & her staff. I’ve always felt comfortable having her them in my home, they’ve had a key the entire time. I’m very sad that she will no longer be caring for the pups because we’re moving out of state. If your looking for a pet sitter, you won’t be disappointed.

I have been using Silver Whiskers for over a year now and I have been so satisfied. I am a young professional so I am often running after work to do something and Steva is always extremely accommodating at the last minute. I have been home a couple of times when they come to walk my dog, Piper and she is always so excited to see them. I shopped around for dog walkers in the Denver area and Silver Whiskers was the most affordable and friendliest. I am so happy that I found them!!!

My boyfriend and I with our Boston Terrier moved to Denver not too long ago and we were looking for a dog walker. Silver Whiskers was recommended to us and we couldn’t be happier! Steva and her employees are just fantastic. Our dog loves them and Steva has always been available even last minute! We highly recommend Silver Whiskers to watch your pet!

I must say that I entrusted Steva with my Schnauzer, Skruffy. I was happy to have found such a wonderful service. My BFF (Best Furry Friend) was terminally ill with bladder cancer, and needed to be walked throughout the day, which I was not home to do so. Fortunately Steva and Kelsie were there to support me through my inability to walk Skruffy during the day when I was gone.
The price for walking is very reasonable, and truly what you receive is peace of mind that your loved one is in great hands.
Steva provides a nice book that she logs the walks in for you, and you return home to an assurance that your pet has been cared for. If you need medications given to you furry friend, as I did, they will do that too.
I was so worried about Skruffy, and her being let out to do her business, but the service provided by Silver Whiskers relieved my anxiety.
I truly recommend the great service provided by Steva and her team.
A big thank you goes out to them! You all are truly a blessing!

Steva and her associates are unquestionably reliable. I moved here from out of state and was concerned about finding someone who I could trust with my dogs. Steva has been a blessing from day one. There have been a number of times when I call her last minute, bc I’m caught at work, to see if she can go by the house and walk my dogs… She has always been so dependable and flexible.
My dogs love silver whiskers, and so will yours! My pup has a serious allergy and Steva has always been so mindful of her and her «special needs».
I would recommend Silver Whiskers without reservation!

Steva is so super nice and always available when we’ve needed her. I would highly recommend Silver Whiskers for your furry family members.

New to Denver, I turned to Unilocal to look for a pet sitter for my cat Bubba. Based on the great reviews I contacted Silver Whiskers. I spoke with Steva when I called, and I immediately felt comfortable after chatting back and forth about our pets. Steva setup a meet and greet so that she could meet Bubba, and at that time her love for animals was instantly obvious.
Silver Whiskers is very reasonably priced, and always available anytime I need them. I’ve now used them frequently over a 6 month period and would highly recommend them to anyone. Steva and her team are always available, give your pet the love and attention you’d expect, and provide daily updates and pictures. Not to mention the little things… opening/​closing windows depending on the weather, collecting mail, etc — they truly set the bar high. Thank you so much for putting me at ease knowing that Bubba is always in the best care.

Being a new puppy owner I was pretty picky about who was going to watch my dog. I had a big walking service in the past and when they came over I knew it was not the best fit. Steva came right in and got on the floor with my pup and had such a natural positive energy. I love the little notes she left after walks and play. Sadly, I am living outside of her dog walking area now but if you are looking for a reliable, knowledgeable person that truly loves dog then Silver Whiskers is the way to go!

I was in search of a dog walker & turned to Unilocal for help — thank goodness I found Silver Whiskers! Steva promptly made arrangements to take care of my Pekingese pup over the weekend, walking him twice a day at his normal 7 & 7 routine. She texted me to provide updates on how he was doing, and sent a picture too. Her pricing structure was great and again her flexibility was fantastic.
Even the concierges at my building complimented me on selecting Steva, saying that she was the kindest & most well-​prepared dog walker they had seen. Thanks to Silver Whiskers — I’ll be calling upon you again soon!

BEST DOGWALKING SERVICES IN DENVER!!! COULDN’T BE HAPPIER!!!
Silver Whiskers is great. I totally trust them with both of my dogs (my Great Dane and my lab mix). I work screwy hours and they are always able to work around my schedule. I’ve been using them for about 9 months now and have never had a bad experience (in fact, sometimes I think the dogs like spending time with Steva or Kelsie more than me and my wife!)
I heard about Silver Whiskers from a colleague. After a brief call with Steva, the owner, she stopped by my house and met my wife and I and our two dogs for a brief meet and greet. She seemed to be very knowledgeable about dogs and our dogs seemed to like her so we gave Silver Whiskers a shot.
Not sure about the bad review here, but based on their 1-​star Starbuck’s review (foam not foamy enough or something!!!) I wouldn’t place much merit their.
COULDN’T BE HAPPIER WITH SILVER WHISKERS!!!

I used Steva, owner of Silver Whiskers, for nearly a year and half as my pet sitter before the following absolutely unacceptable incident occurred.
I ran into my upstairs stairs neighbors about 2 weeks after using Silver Whiskers to pet sit for me while I was out of town for a weekend. My neighbor informed me that while Steva’s contractor, Kelsie, was pet sitting for me, my Great Pyrenees got loose off leash and was running around the complex to the point that he (my neighbor) had to help catch him (my dog). This was VERY disturbing to me as I informed both Steva (and Kelsie per the instructions that I left) that my Pyr can NEVER be off leash because of his breed trait of being very independent and not coming when called – which is true for 99% of Great Pyrenees.
I share this story because I in no way will tolerate my dogs being put at risk of being hit by a car or whatever else; however, I am most upset that I had to hear about this incident from my neighbor and was never informed of it from Kelsie (or Steva) when it happened.
This was the first time Kelsie watched my dogs (because Steva was unable to). During this service (I was out of town for multiple days) I never received a text, email, or phone call about how my dogs were dong.
I contacted Steva after I heard about what happened and it took her 2 days to even respond to me with an explanation. I requested a full refund of services rendered because I paid Silver Whiskers to be responsible for my dogs and keep them safe and that was definitely breached. Steva responded with a letter stating that my dog was not off leash for a long period of time and never in harms way. (If possibly I would give 1.5 stars instead of just 1 is because I did receive my refund, but I don’t think it is worthy of 2 stars).
Regardless of the period of time that he was outside off leash, it never should have happened. I have a latched patio gate that serves as an additional safeguard in the rare event that he ever be unleashed and the front door open. I count my blessings that nothing happened to him, but I don’t think it is accurate to say that he was not in harm’s way. Any dog off leash, that is not responsive to recall and also near streets where cars are often speeding, is indeed in harm’s way.

I, along with many pet-​sitting clients, clearly care about my dogs more than the average person that thinks nothing of kenneling their dogs while they are away. I want them to be comfortable in their own home while I am away, but I also want them safe. I paid Silver Whiskers to be responsible for them so that I didn’t have to worry about them while I am gone.
I would NEVER, never pay someone to watch my dogs if I thought there was even a possibility of this kind of situation happening, so I absolutely do NOT recommend Silver Whiskers, and I only took the time to write this review because I don’t want anyone to have to worry about something like this happening to their pets when they are gone.
I was almost inclined to give 2 stars because I did use Steva for quite some time before this happened. However, she chose to contract out her services to Kelsie. With Kelsie being a contractor for Steva’s company, Steva is responsible for Kelsie and her actions… so if you don’t contract to responsible employees, you are only worthy of 1 star.
