About: I've spent a lifetime around dogs, from goldens and boxers to husky mixes, so I'm comfortable with bigger breeds while still keeping a gentle, reassuring presence. Over the years, I've also cared for senior dogs with special dietary needs, high-energy working breeds, and anxious or shy pups who need a little extra patience. My approach blends calm companionship with confident handling—I'm happy to curl up for quiet couch time or head out for a long, steady walk when the weather's nice. I'm detail-oriented and quick to notice when something's off, whether it's a change of mood, appetite, or behavior. I love learning each pup's quirks and personality so I can connect with them in a way that feels familiar and safe. And while I'm not a formal trainer, I have years of hands-on experience with leash manners, basic obedience, and redirecting unwanted behavior before it becomes an issue. Above all, I treat every dog like a member of my own family—loved, respected, and cared for with the same attention I'd want for my own pets. I'm currently a freelance worker with the ability to set my own hours. If I have a visit with your dog, I'll do my best to move my work hours around that schedule, but even if I have a particularly grueling work week, I can work from my laptop while I sit in with your pup. When I'm in your home, I follow your pet's routine exactly as you've outlined it—from meal times to walk routes to favorite toys. My goal is to make their day feel as normal and comfortable as possible while you're away. I keep their space safe and tidy, make sure they have fresh water, and give them the kind of interaction that matches their mood and energy level—whether that's a gentle game of tug, a nice stroll, or just quiet company nearby. If crating is a part of the routine, I can handle that, and I'm happy to help reinforce basic leash manners along the way. I adjust my visits to suit your pet's personality, so whether you have a social butterfly or a laid-back lounger, they'll get exactly what they need to feel secure until you're home.

“Diego was a godsend. He was willing to make two home visits so Patch could get to know him better. Patch was clearly very comfortable with Diego, Diego check in regularly, sent photos, and left my come home cleaner than he found it. Even washed linens and towels. Patch and I have a new friend for sure. I highly recommend Diego. PS Being new to the area I also got some great suggestions for restaurants and coffee houses.”


“My high anxiety senior rescues really warmed up to Janie right away, I was impressed. Dogs know when they've come across a kindred spirit. Very caring soul and communicated well through the process with lots of updates while house sitting. I will definitely book again.”


“This was the first time Mayce watched my four babies. From the moment they met her at the meet and greet the puppies were comfortable with her. She did a wonderful job caring them and the house. I will most definitely ask her to watch them again. I highly recommend Mayce!”

About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animals as far back as I can remember. I have experience in caring for puppies/kittens, geriatric, and exotic pet care.

About: Hi my name is Jasmine. My experience with animals is personal and professional. I have helped pet sitting and walking dogs for over 5 year of experience now. I have 2 dogs of my own who go with me wherever I go except when working lol. I've been having dogs and cats my entire life & I have much experience ranging from puppy - senior needs. Love making new pet buddies, and want to ensure they are as happy as can be. Pets are great companions and I look forward to meeting many new buddies! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 12pm I have a fenced back yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I always make sure we go on walks, clean up after them, play with them. I always make sure they are fed when they are suppose to and have water.

About: I share my home with four rescued fur babies: a gentle Great Pyrenees saved from being poisoned by his farm owners, a loving Beagle rescued from the streets while searching for food during a Colorado winter, and two kitties from the local rescue. Each one has their own unique needs, from allergies to UTI issues to separation anxiety, and I’ve learned to care for them with patience, love, and tailored attention. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I don’t just care for pets, I truly love them. Whether your pet needs snuggles, space, special care, or just a calm presence, I’m here to give them the same love I give my own. (And if you know me then you know that I’m currently trying to talk my husband into adopting a turtle.. or two!)🐢 I just left the stressful tech industry to be a stay at home dog mom so I have more than enough time to care for your sweet little fur baby! I’m also flexible if you don’t see a spot open, message me to ask! I prioritize your pet’s well-being by creating a calm, secure environment where they feel safe and loved. I respect your home and routines, and I aim to build trust with both you and your pet by being consistent, attentive, and gentle. Whether it’s maintaining feeding schedules, ensuring a clean space, or offering companionship, I treat your pet and home with the same care I give my own.

About: I've taken care of all breeds of animals for majority of my life. I love all animals and would love to get the chance to love and care for yours as i do my own! I currently work Monday-Saturday 3-5 hours daily. Im available to care for your furbaby at your place of residence & would love the chance to care for your baby while you enjoy time away! I have a big yard (unfenced) and playful Goldendoodles (1 year old & 2 years old) for your furbaby to enjoy! We love going on walks and fun-time at the dog park.

About: I've taken care of different breeds of dogs up to approximately 40 lbs. This has included grooming, administering medication, walking, and light training. I have taken a training class at the Humane Society for dog care. I have also taken care of horses including grooming and training for barrel racing and showing. I have taken care of bunny rabbits up to 19 rabbits at a time. I am flexible in my availability. Although I prefer part-time, I would be willing to stay with pets or have pets stay with me full time for specific periods of time for one month intervals. In special situations, I would consider longer intervals (to be determined on a case by case basis). I have ample space to walk dogs on my nearly 3/4 acre rural property which includes grassy and wooded areas. At this time, my flexible schedule allows me to spend plenty of time devoted to provide love and care for your dog. Currently, I do not have a dog myself. However, I have had the pleasure of owning dogs in the past. Now I am enjoying caring for my 11 year old pet rabbit Zahara.
