“Great job taking care of both our cats!”

About: Hi there! All my life I have been an animal lover and for the last 8 years I have raised my own dog, and taken care of other dogs for families I used to babysit for. I can fit in any lifestyle your pet has, whether they are active or a stay-at-home. I can fit any accommodation as I work from home, love to exercise (so your dog would get plenty of it, if need be), and I'm incredibly flexible and will be normally free to help you more than not. At the same time, I raised my dog since she was a puppy so I do have experience with younger, more energetic dogs and overall I would simply love to help and treat your dogs like family. I hope we can talk soon! I'm super flexible and work from home at the moment so I basically can take care of your dogs whenever you may need it. I will certainly be more free for your dog rather than not! I will care for your pet in your home however you see fit. I do what is asked and can fit any accommodation whether your dog has a lot of needs, or simply needs a walk and some playtime. I'm happy to help however it may be!

“Brad was responsive, friendly, through, and easy to schedule. He was very sweet with our pup, got her comfortable, paid attention and did a great job.”

“I can't say enough positive things about Carolyn or her professional, but caring demeanor. My pup is truly a pup - very cautious and can be a handful. Carolyn's pet common sense made all the difference during their first visit. Hoping she will agree to return.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and have had a cat for 13 years. I have been put in charge several times for taking care of my pets, along with the pets of family friends when they are gone and have never had any problems. I am currently a student at Colorado Mesa University and am an elite athlete (cyclist). I am very flexible with scheduling on my available days! Unfortunately I won’t be able to provide care for your pets at my home, but I am willing to drive anywhere to accommodate to your needs.

“Jennifer is AMAZING! We will definitely be using her again to care for our sweet Micah. Jennifer provided consistent and fun updates detailing her time with Micah (and Jennifer sends plenty of pictures)! 10000% recommended!”

“Drop-in visits have been a big success. Taylor loves Kat! Seems to know she’s “his person” and shows great affection for her. Hopefully, Wookiee, the tortie, will feel the same when she comes out of hiding.”

“Amber helped with a very last minute request and I am so grateful for her!”

About: Hey! My name is Emma. I've been apart of the pet care industry for 3 years. I've always adored cats ever since I was a child, but my true passion for dogs started when I got my first dog at 17 (I'm 21 now) My Golden Retriever named Molly inspired me to start my career as a dog trainer. Since then I've spent hundreds of hours working on my skills and perfecting the craft. I've volunteered at the Hornell Humane Society where I've walked dogs. I've also completed a 3 month mentorship with a professional trainer, Ash Osborn with the Pawsitive Pups Academy. Since then I've started taking both training and dog sitting/walking clients! I believe my skills make me a great option for all your pet care needs. I will never turn down dogs with behavioral issues. Being a pet professional is my full time job so I am available around the clock for your every need! I'm available Monday through Sunday unless I state otherwise. I care for the pets in my clients home with the patience and integrity. I will always to my best to maintain a clean and safe environment.

“Ona went above and beyond. Our animals love her. We highly recommend”

“Zane took great care of my boy Elliot while I was away for over two weeks. He feed him on time, cleaned his litter and had play time. He sent selfies of them almost everyday. My place was just as I had left when I returned. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello! I have grown up with dogs my whole life and began watching dogs when I was around 15 years old. I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats! I enjoy spending time with animals and can take great care of your furbabies! I live in Boulder. I am in school and work part time. I am available most weekdays for walking and checking in on animals! Weekends depend. I provide great service and will give all my attention to your babies. Their safety and care are my upmost priority. I will play, feed, clean, walk, wash, and take great care of them!

“Thank you for looking after Lucile! We appreciated the updates and photos.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and comfort with pets who have special needs. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes—from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra support. I’m experienced in administering oral medications, using doggy diapers, and providing gentle, attentive care to aging pets. I’ve also cared for cats and understand their unique personalities and routines. I treat every animal like my own, with patience, compassion, and attention to detail. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I currently volunteer at dog shelters and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time, energy, and attention to the pets I care for. Since animals are already a big part of my life, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I always want the pets I care for to feel comfortable, happy, and truly fulfilled. Whether that means playtime with their favorite toys, a fun run outside, or a peaceful stroll, I tailor their care to what brings them joy. I make sure they have everything they need—plenty of food, water, comfort, and affection—so they never feel without or stressed. I'm incredibly attentive to their needs and committed to giving them my full care and focus. I also prioritize open communication with you, so you’ll always feel informed, reassured, and connected to your pet while you're away.

“Corina was great with my pets! She communicated well, was timely with her planned visits, and was careful to give the correct medicine to my dog.”

About: Hi there! I'm a social worker during the day and I'm just looking to take care of some animals while making some extra money. Any opportunity I get to hang out with dogs, I jump on it! I have been a dog owner in the past as well, so I have plenty of experience. I have two side pet sitting gigs, watching both cats and dogs, so I come with references. I would love to make friends with your animal, while providing you a service that you need, and companionship that I want too. Let's help each other out! Can't wait to meet your furry family member. I currently work from home so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am able to watch your pets either in my home or yours, depending on the size of the dog. I prefer to watch larger dogs in their own homes. My preference is that if you have a larger dog, I will watch your pet in your own home. Medium and small dogs I can take here in my apartment. I walk frequently so they will get outside plenty!

About: I grew up with dogs and currently have two dogs at my family home, which I recently moved out of. I also have my own dog living with me now a 7 pound Chihuahua. I have several years of hands on experience working with dogs, including four years at a doggy daycare that provided both daytime care and overnight boarding. In my past position, I would watch dogs for both daily care and overnight stays, as well as walk, feed, and engage them in play. I worked with a wide range of temperaments, from reactive to very calm. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including small breeds such as Chihuahuas and Boston Terriers, as well as medium and large breeds like Great Danes and Bernese Mountain Dogs. In my past position, I regularly administer medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. I am comfortable providing attentive, individualized care and ensuring each dog’s safety and well-being. For the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, aside from my part-time job. I’m rarely away for more than five hours at a time, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship, along with regular walks and playtime. With my current dog, I take him on two-three walks per day lasting approximately 20 minutes each, provide frequent potty breaks, feed him twice daily, bathe him as needed, and spend plenty of quality time with him both at home and outside.

About: I started dog sitting for my neighbors when I was 12. My family got 2 dogs when I entered high school and I was the main care giver. Now that I am living somewhere that does not allow dogs, I love the opportunity of getting to care for other dogs and treat them as my own family. I work from home 3 days a week (M, T, F) so your dogs will have full access to me those days! If your home has WiFi and your dogs need more consistent attention, I'm comfortable working from there as long as you are too. Overall, my job is pretty flexible and I am available for midday walks, etc. I treat all dogs as if they were my own. Having grown up with one dog who was NOT and one who WAS all cuddles 24/7, I totally understand when dogs need some time and space to get used to a new person. I will meet your dog wherever it is at with their personality and make sure we both feel safe in our environment and have a good time, whatever that means for your dog.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, and bunnies for the past ten years! I have experiencing taking care of animals while house sitting for long stretches of time. I love getting outside, walking, and running with dogs! I am reliable, gentle, and love getting to share new connections with animals. It would be so great to take care of your animal babies! I'm currently in grad school but have significant room for walking, dropping in, and overnight stays. My schedule is mostly busy during the days on Tuesday and Thursday, but I have time in the morning, evening, and afternoons. I stick to what each owner/parent prefers. As for my dog, he is really good about recall so we are able to let him run around the backyard without fencing. When we walk on trail he is mostly on leash unless we are in the backcountry. Again, I stick to what each owner prefers for their animal baby!

About: I have lots of patience when it comes to animals and find it extremely important to provide a safe space for them! I grew up with dogs and cats and feel very confident when taking care of them! Working a steady 4 day work week, and completely free otherwise, I’m able to stop in before and after work or stay to be local for pet care! I live in a quiet apartment complex with my 2 cats. My home is calm, spacious and pet proof with lots of toys laying around!
