for visitors & second homes

Built around visitors & second-home owners in South Fork

South Fork empties out between seasons. A cabin that looks lived-in — lights moving, mail collected, tracks in the drive — is a cabin nobody bothers.

Whether it's a cabin sitting empty between trips, or a vacation that the dog was not invited on, your animals stay in their own home near Wolf Creek Pass and the headwaters of the Rio Grande — same routine, same bed, same person at the door every time.

Especially familiar with second-home and rental-property care during ski season and summer travel.

Jesica Golightly brings 9 years of pet sitting backed by 22 years in the veterinary industry — and is a Rio Grande County resident since 2022.
