About: As a career animal welfare professional, I'm ready to bring my decades of experience in animal care, veterinary care and animal handling to you and your home to ensure you have total peace of mind and your pets are cared for and safe while you're away. My entire professional career has been in the animal welfare field. I've worked as a cruelty investigator in both major metropolitan as well as rural agricultural regions. I've worked on farm animal sanctuaries as well as in city shelters. I'm still very involved in animal rescue through disaster response as well as large scale animal cruelty case deployments. Currently, I work for/co-founded an organization which provides low-cost veterinary care services to underserved areas in the region. As someone who utilizes Rover heavily for pet sitting services while traveling for work, I know just how important it is to have a service like this available as well as what a trusting, reliable sitter can do for peace of mind while out of town and away from you pets. I currently work from home (when not traveling for work) which allows me to devote full days to pet care while sitting nearby in my home office. I have a large, fully fenced yard. Your dogs will be able to spend as much, or as little, time outside as they desire. I have two resident dogs who are very welcoming of all four-legged (and two-legged) visitors and will be more than happy to share all their favorite toys and most comfortable spots on the couch.

About: Hi! I am a lifelong animal lover who loves to spend my free time with furbabies! I grew up around pets and started pet sitting for family and friends when I was young! Now, I share my home with a cat and a sweet Boxer/Bulldog mix, so I’m very familiar with the different personalities and needs of both dogs and cats! I love being outside and going on adventures, especially with energetic pups—but I’m just as happy cuddling up on the couch for some relaxed downtime. Whether your pet loves to play, explore, or just chill out and get belly rubs, I’m all about making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away! 🫶🏻✨️ 🐾 House-sitting: I require a meet and greet for this one (not required if you choose to schedule with me again!) so you are able to show me all the bells and whistles! 🐾 I am looking forward to caring for your furry family member like they’re my own! 🐾🐕🐶🐱🐈🐾 I am currently working on personal projects, so I am able to provide care for your pet at almost any time, including day-of walks/check ins!! I generally require 1-week in advance for House-sitting, but I am flexible and just a message away! 🐶🐱 I have provided care to newborn kittens, litters of puppies, rescue/shelter pets and seniors! So I come prepared with some knowledge! 🚫 I will never put any pet in any unsafe situation, even at the expense of my own safety! 💊 I am able to perform CPR and administer medications if needed. 🏥 I will always prioritize health and safety, emergency vet visits are never off of the table! 🤗 And most importantly, I will love and care for your pet as if it was my own. With safe and nurturing care, lots of play, snuggles and treats! 🐱🐶

About: I’ve been caring for my own pets for over 5 years and have a genuine love for all dogs and cats. I’m reliable, organized, and have strong time-management skills, developed through years of playing collegiate and club softball. I’m committed to providing attentive, loving care for every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule as I am now home from college. I enjoy spending time with animals. I can provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I am organized, dependable, and committed to making sure pets receive the attention and care they need while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine and providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow all instructions carefully, and ensure pets have fresh water, meals, exercise, and plenty of attention. I prioritize safety during walks and playtime, monitor pets closely, and keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are well cared for.

Stacy did an awesome job with my two heelers. She stopped by my house on the times that I asked her to, made sure my pups had enough water and food, and made sure they got their exercise. Stacy was a great communicator and gave me updates with pictures of my pups. I will definitely recommend her to others and will be using her services again in the future.

Kristin is a fantastic and reliable dog sitter/walker. Appreciated her taking the time to come meet my pups prior to the first visit. Her love of pets is obvious as she greets them and their comfort with her. Very thorough in her questions and observations. Dogs are happy!

About: For 8 years in Colorado, 3 years in Washington, 2 years in Oklahoma and 1 in Hawaii; I enjoyed forming relationships with an extensive list of clients and their pets. I am searching to create another loyal list for the West Slope. I offer house sitting, day care, drop-in visits and walks. Rates are negotiable based on your situation. All energy levels are welcomed! I am trained in K-9 CPR and skilled in reading behavior. What's important to me is that your family and home are loved while you are away. A strong, clean referral history is available to any prospective client. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule at United Airlines to better serve your needs. I am employed full-time with United Airlines, but I am easily able to drop my workdays to stay with your pet and cater to them. We have a fully fenced backyard great for fetch or sunbathing. At your house I am happy to keep the yard clear of messes and have the most respect for your home cleaning up after myself as well.
