What makes David Westfall and Kim Plache with Inside and Out Pet Care good neighbors?

When it comes to pet care, most pet owners face a common dilemma: what to do with their beloved companions when they can't be home? The traditional solution often involves boarding facilities or kennels, but David Westfall and his wife Kim Plaché have built a business around a different approach that prioritizes pets' comfort and well-being.

Inside and Out Pet Care, serving Northern Colorado, represents a refreshing alternative to conventional pet care services. During his appearance on the Good Neighbor Podcast, David shared how their business model focuses on in-home pet care, allowing animals to remain in their familiar environment rather than being placed in potentially stressful boarding situations. "We take care of your dog, cat, horse, mice, snakes, whatever in the care of your own home, where the animal knows where its food dish is, knows where its favorite spot to use the bathroom is," David explained. This approach acknowledges the importance of routine and familiarity for pets' emotional well-being.

The business began as Kim's hobby while she worked as a CNA. After facing employment challenges, she transformed her side business into a full-fledged pet care service with David's encouragement. "Grow the business, get some people working for you and then you can do what you love working with the animals," David recalled telling her. This pivot allowed Kim to pursue her passion for animal care while building a sustainable business. Recently, David joined the team full-time after retiring from apartment maintenance work at age 63, bringing his skills to their growing enterprise.

What separates Inside and Out Pet Care from competitors is their comprehensive approach. They don't just offer basic pet sitting – they provide customized care tailored to each pet's specific needs. Their services include dog walking, feeding, brushing, playing, and behavioral dog training. David emphasized that their care extends beyond common household pets: "If somebody had an elephant, we'd probably try to figure out how to take care of it." This flexibility and commitment to accommodating diverse pet care needs has positioned them as a valuable resource for pet owners throughout Northern Colorado.

Perhaps most importantly, Inside and Out Pet Care operates with a clear philosophical foundation. David referenced the American Kennel Club's principles, stating that "the health, welfare and well-being of the animal comes before all other concerns." This client-centered approach, combined with their convenient self-booking system through their website, makes their services both high-quality and accessible. For pet owners seeking peace of mind when they can't be home with their animals, Inside and Out Pet Care offers a solution that prioritizes pets' comfort and owners' convenience – a winning combination in today's busy world.
