Cat Sitting Bark Ranch

“Great job taking care of both our cats!”

Jacquie R.

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.

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.

“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: Hi, I’m Amy! I am a former veterinary technician with three years of experience in emergency medicine, specializing in surgical anesthesia and patient care. I now work full-time in marketing, but animals have always been my greatest passion, which is why I spend my free time caring for pets. I live in Jamestown, Colorado with my sweet and adventurous dog Zoey. We are surrounded by beautiful mountain trails, quiet roads, and open spaces, so walks and outdoor adventures are a regular part of our days. Your pup can join in for a safe leashed stroll, a hike in the foothills, or a play session in the yard. Over the years I have provided house and pet sitting for many families, always offering the same attentiveness, respect, and affection to each client’s pets as I give to my own. I am clean, responsible, punctual, and flexible with scheduling. My veterinary background means I am trained in basic first aid and can confidently administer oral, intramuscular, and subcutaneous medications. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, medication, or simply a loving presence while you are away, I will make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for until you return. I work remote freelance positions which makes my days very flexible. My pup Zoey needs at least 5 miles a day, so we’re usually outside! I have a fenced yard that I share with my landlord’s two dogs and sometimes her daughter’s two. As such, I’m not offering in home services at this time.

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!

“J'Ana bonded with Gizmo, reliable and did a great job. Gizmo was well cared for. We loved the pictures and videos. Thank you for a job well done.”

About: I am 18 years old, and graduating high school in may. I have worked in multiple jobs that are centered around caring for others. I used to work at a teen center where kids would come in and I would interact and care for them as they needed. I also currently work at a doggy daycare where I make sure they are safe and happy all day. Also, when I was younger I used to be in dog 4-h so I am very familiar on how to tell what your dog is feeling and what they need. So I have a good amount of experience with all different type of dogs and sizes. I would love to help care for your pets and I will make sure he is happy and comfortable. Please let me know of any questions! I work part time at a doggy daycare on the weekends from 12- 7pm in Boulder , but I can still check in on your pet after work! I also currently am in high school and graduating in may so I can check in on your pet after school too! When I am in charge of a pets safety and wellbeing I take it very seriously. I will make sure the pet is very well taken care of and happy. I will follow instructions from the owners to a T.

“Zane is awesome! Stepped in last minute to feed and spend time with our two cats while we were away. Super responsive, great updates with lots of pictures and great to work with — will definitely be hoping he’s available when we’re in need of cat-sitters next time.”

“Jennifer is a true professional! From her initial communication, to the meet and greet, to detailed notes and follow ups on our dogs everything she did was top notch. Could not recommend her more and will definitely be using her again.”

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.

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

“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.”

“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.”

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!

“Our nervous dog warmed up to Bárbara very quickly :)”
