Courtney is truly amazing! I had a last minute request and she responded the same day and I was lucky enough that she was available. Very professional and friendly. She absolutely listens to what you need and does it all. I am definitely a repeating client.

Crystal has been an amazing sitter while I’ve been out of town for work. Great communication, sent pictures and kept me updated on everything going on when she arrived and left my house. She took excellent care of my three dogs, including my senior pup who needs a little extra attention. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs!

Ali did an awesome job with our 4 fur babies, I think they love her more than us now. She was very attentive to their medications making sure they took the right amount, on time, and even had to add a day worth of medication because of issues our trip incurred. She was very diligent about making sure they had plenty of playtime (fetch) weather permitting. I'm thinking she might want to take up dog photography because she got quite of few fabulous pictures that we can never seem to get. The only reason I wouldn't recommend her is because I want her just for my fur babies, in all seriousness I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER for taking care of fur babies (dogs) especially if they have to take oral medication.

My cat Daisy and I had another fantastic experience with Jenny! She worked her magic on her drop in visits to care for Daisy while I was away and my typically stranger shy kitty was happy to come out to visit with her. Jenny shared many photos so I could see my girl was doing well and I returned home to a very well cared for and happy cat.

About: I specialize in medical animal care, and special needs clients. I know a lot of basic injury/ER care treatments and you can feel safe with your special needs babies in my care 💕 Starting at very young, before I could even say it correctly, I was always excited to tell people that I wanted to be a "vegetarian" (Veterinarian)! I started taking care of my aunts animals and her "zoo" when I was about 7 years old, 3 times a year. She knew others who needed animal care, feeding brushing walking, ect, and I began taking care of others' animals as well for years! Continued with this all throughout the time that I waitresses, but few years later got a job as a doggy day care attendant. Which put me into the position of a groomer a year later, and then even a dog trainer the next year. I now work at an after hours animal ER and as a Veterinarians assistant. I really do believe you can fully trust me with your animals, as I've been doing it for years. It makes me nervous putting my own animals in others care, but I would trust myself 10 times over! I am availabile Monday through Sunday and anytime, if any special accommodations needed, you can feel free to reach out and see what I can do for you and your family ❤️ In others home, I really focus on getting to know the animals, and letting them wind down outside. I try to read each animal, as they are all different and usually display very obvious body language.

Jill took great care of my kitty. She kept in touch. Checked-in exactly when she said she would. Took lots of photos. Did everything I'd requested for drop-ins. And was very kind. I came home after a long vacation to a happy cat. Thank you Jill! I look forward to booking your services again next time!

We love Rebecca. She really thinks about our furries…what they need and how she can help us while we are away. Batteries went dead on the dog’s doggie door collar, and she hunted down the batteries and changed them. Packages were outside, and she always brings them in. She is great with medicines and baths and attention for my senior baby. Thanks for being so attentive,Rebecca!

About: Long-time local serving Eagle and Summit County. Willing to travel for pick up/drop off. I’m happy to stop in multiple times a day, go for walks, or organize an overnight stay. I’m familiar with local dog parks and trails, and have reliable transportation. Shoot me a message to plan care for your dog while you’re going out of town, or in town visiting the mountains! I have a very flexible schedule, making it easy for me to stop in multiple times a day, or go for long walks with your dog. At my home, I have a fenced balcony on a ground floor and a specific place to walk dogs. I like to go on local trails for longer walks. In clients homes, I like to stick to the routine and methods explained to keep a predictable schedule for the dog.

About: I provide pet sitting in my home for puppies and small dogs (under 20 lbs). I also provide drop in services to your home and dog walking. My son and I have have been dog walking and sitting for others in the Riverbend area for the past 10 years. I LOVE traveling so I know how important (and difficult) it is to find a dog sitter you can trust and rely on while you're gone. I love all dogs and enjoy meeting new clients whether I am dropping in for visits or walks or boarding in my home. Please reach out with any questions. I am a mother of two adult children and work a hybrid schedule. I have lots of free time and have been dog walking and sitting for over 10 years with my son. We started dog walking and sitting together when he was 12 and he will be starting college soon and I want to continue our side business on my own. We have 2 acres on a cul-de-sac in Godfrey and enjoy talking walks. We have a large home that is safe and dog friendly. I can also do drop-ins while you are away.
