About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, when I started my own little pet-sitting/walking "business" in my small town in Arizona. As an adult, I've owned and trained two dogs of my own, and I've never stopped being around animals since. Whether it's giving them plenty of pets & cuddles, keeping them active, or making sure they feel comfortable & secure, my biggest priority is providing a safe, loving experience for every pet in my care. I just recently moved to Colorado and I'm excited to grow my connection with you! I'm currently working as a writer (published author) and editor for other aspiring authors. I love spending a few hours in the morning and in the afternoon working on my laptop and developing my craft! I'm both a morning and evening person:) I take care of pets in their home so they can stay in the environment they’re most comfortable and familiar with. I love following detailed routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention & cuddles. I also ensure they have a clean, safe environment and never feel alone or neglected while you are away. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, (whether they're excited or a bit nervous) I love catering to their needs & preferences. My goal is to give them the kind of care they’re used to receiving at home!

About: Animals have always been my biggest passion, and caring for them brings immense joy to my life. With over a year of hands-on experience in pet sitting, I am dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your furry family members. I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. Whether it's playtime, long walks, or just cozy cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am looking forward to dedicating myself even more to this work and building wonderful connections with both pets and their owners! I work during the day, but my schedule allows me to seamlessly fit pet care into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. I am also available for house sitting, meaning I can stay right at your home to keep your pets company and maintain their routine while you are away. Whether it is morning/evening walks, feeding times, or overnight stays, I ensure your pets receive consistent attention and care. Safety, cleanliness, and trust are my absolute top priorities. Coming from a background in childcare as a nanny, I am highly vigilant, responsible, and observant. I am also a very meticulous person when it comes to cleanliness and organization, meaning your pet will always be in a hygienic, hazard-free, and safe environment. I always ensure that doors and gates are secure, dangerous items are out of reach, and pets are closely supervised both indoors and during walks. You can trust that I will protect and care for your furry family member just as carefully as I would a child.

“Brad has been an amazing dog walker. I (unfortunately) sometimes request last minute and Brad has been so accommodating and communicative! My dog loves him and he’s been a huge help. Thanks Brad you’re great!”

“Can't say enough good things about Ona!, their schedule is very flexible and they work with me with last minute requests and do a wonderful job. My beautiful little dog is always super happy when I come home and not too too fully energetic.”

About: I care quite a lot about animals. I have great communication skills and I’m very flexible. I strive to make sure everything goes smoothly to ensure that owner is anxiety free. Not much daily care though I am currently a full time student. But this upcoming fall I have 4 days of open time to be able to be around much more. And staying flexible. Safety is extremely important for me to have care for any animal. Whether that’s mine or someone else’s. I want this experience leaving your animal with someone to be a positive experience and stress less.

About: I was Humane Society volunteer, even if briefly. I've also been a pet owner for 15 years, with one dog named DuDu, who was a Black Labrador I am available practically always, with the primary exception being Wednesday nights, since I have guitar lessons that day. But other than that, I am indeed available, since even my volunteering work is irregular and voluntary I have a fenced yard or have the dog kept on a leash. I make sure the environment is hazard free, and keep the dog away from other animals.

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!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m originally from a beach town in New Hampshire and spent the last year living in Hawaiʻi before moving back to Colorado. I lived in Colorado previously, so I’m very familiar with the area and absolutely love the lifestyle here. I’m a senior at CU Boulder and spend as much of my free time outside as possible—hiking, skiing, camping, swimming, and exploring. I’m happy to keep active dogs busy with long walks, hikes, playing fetch, or plenty of outdoor time, but I’m just as happy hanging out at home with pets who prefer a slower pace. I also have experience with senior and special-needs pets and can administer oral medications. I know every animal has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adjust their care to whatever makes them feel happiest and most comfortable while you’re away. I’m a senior at CU Boulder with a pretty light class schedule Tuesday through Thursday, and the rest of my coursework is online. This gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout most of the day for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and plenty of quality time with your pets. I’m also around most weekends and love having a furry companion to break up my schoolwork! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, medications, crate time, playtime, or lots of attention and cuddles. I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets and understand that some animals need a little extra patience or reassurance. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

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.

About: Hello! I'm a friendly and compassionate human who is ready to care for your animal when life is busy or hectic. I'm very genuine and trust-worthy and promise to follow instructions carefully so that your loved one stays happy and well. I've lived with animals most of my life and pet sit for friends and family regularly. While I'm in a transitional time in my life, I have all the time in the world to take your pet on a nice walk (I also LOVE the outdoors), or to the local dog park, and make sure they get a meal if needed. Here to make your life easier, don't hesitate to contact me and I hope to meet you and your fur baby soon! I’m available after 4pm Monday-Thursday, and fully available throughout the weekend. I’m currently enrolled in a full-time education program, so being able to have control over my scheduling with others is very helpful. I have two cats in my home, they’re able to be kept in a room if I’m with a dog that is cat adverse or has a strong hunting instinct. We have a nice patio, but no yard. We live in a quiet neighborhood that is great for walks and close by to parks. I can tailor our itinerary depending on the pet’s needs and am eager to do so. I love being active and outdoors and so do most of the animals I watch.

About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs my when life, living with both. I know all of the things to keep them happy and healthy. There safety and health is my number 1 priority! I am currently working part time at a toy store in town, and all my other time would be devoted to these animals! I have a very flexible schedule and can fit a lot into my schedule! I have a fenced in backyard and have always had a dog! I love going on long walks and playing with cats in the house!

About: Hello! My name is Sam and I am a part time student who is studying biology, and when I’m not studying I’m a vet tech working in Boulder! I can do everything from administer medication to belly rubs. I love pets and have two dogs of my own, and just recently moved to Boulder and love the area. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thanks! I currently have a very open schedule, so your pets needs would be very prioritized throughout the day/night depending on the service I will be giving your pet! When caring for pets in a clients home it is very important to me to provide them with their proper food and water, regular exercise and playtime with them, plus any medication that needs to be administered if needed. It is also important to me that the veterinarians phone number would be given when staying overnight in case of an emergency.

About: I don’t have pets of my own, but I’ve taken care of dogs and cats from other family members. I also work as a caregiver, so I’ve had clients with pets that needed help taking care of them. I have experience with large to medium dogs, but mostly small dogs from puppyhood and up. And if you have a pet that has a strict diet you’ll be happy to know I am immune to their deceptions. I do have some experience with dog sitting overnight and I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, working with both cats and dogs. I currently work part-time so I can work around my schedule and check on pets after a shift. I’m free two days straight on weekends l so I can stay overnight if needed if you want a weekend getaway without worrying about your fur babies. I’d just have to discuss scheduling details with you so everything goes smoothly. The first thing I’ll do is look for any possible ways your dog may get out and secure them so the won’t be able to get out. I’d also try to double secure a leash in the event of one clasp breaking, the other will keep your pet secure.

About: I grew up with two dogs and regularly dog sat and walked for about 8 years. I hope to continue this now that I live in boulder because I love and miss my dogs! I am a student, so my schedule varies but I am usually free in the mornings and late afternoons. Overall I have a very flexible schedule. I am a flexible person and can accommodate to mostly any needs. My current housing does not allow animals, I am more interested in walking

About: I am respectful, kind, and trustworthy. Your pet(s)/household will be in safe, reliable hands with me. I have extensive experience with large dog breeds, too (grew up with Bernese Mountain Dogs). I believe in treating others’ animals and property as I’d want someone to treat mine. Does your household have a particular routine or preferences? Just let me know. I want you and your family to be as comfortable as possible. If you need oral or subcutaneous medications administered, I would love to help keep your loved ones in the best health possible. House sitting engagements will leave your property as if I was never there and your pets well loved and treated with the decency all living beings deserve. Currently a parent of a husky named Thomas and three cats named Tony, Calypso, and Tut. Cats and dogs- I’ve had one or both my entire life. I use positive reinforcement training on my own. I work a set schedule Monday-Friday, so they will have consistency/stability throughout the weekdays. On the weekends, I’ll be available to spend the entire day with your fuzzy family members. How I care for your pets is strongly influenced by what you share with me. Household rules like crating, furniture rules, and routines will all be discussed with you and then adhered to during my stay. I also offer to bring in the mail, take out the trash, water the plants, and feed the goldfish. You know, those little details that matter.

“Rikku was so kind and was able to accommodate a last minute walk for our pup! They were really communicative about pickup and drop off. And of course our dog had a blast! Thank you!”

About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and absolutely love spending time with them. Over the years, I have worked with multiple families providing dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and extended pet sitting. I have stayed with pets for very long periods of time and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including administering medications and caring for a diabetic cat that required insulin injections. I am comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs, whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, medication schedules, or simply providing companionship. I currently have a very flexible schedule and work remotely, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and house sitting, including longer bookings and last-minute requests when my schedule permits. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pride myself on being responsible, attentive, and trustworthy. Along with caring for your pets, I make sure your home is kept clean, secure, and well looked after while you’re away.

About: Hello pet parents! I hope you choose me to help care for your pets - I can't wait to meet them! I have had pets in my house ever since I was born. I grew up with many varieties of animals among the years and numerous cats and dogs. I have always been a huge animal lover and can't wait until I have the property and space to home more friends! Until then, I am eager to meet others' animals and help take care of them and give them lots of love! The very first thing I have always done at new people's houses with animals is greet all of the animals. I am a highly energetic individual with a strong eye that seeks to pay attention to the needs of other beings. I am looking forward to hearing from you and your pets I make my own scheduled so I am highly flexible and available for caring for your pets! I have two cats and a fish that I give lots of love and attention daily - and looking forward to caring more for other animals too! I do not have a home space in which I am capable of taking in others animals currently, but I take care of the pets at the owners home this same way! First thing when I get home is to greet my pets and give them attention and love. I play for a little and then check to see the water bowl is full (and for my cats that the food is also - I know dogs are on a schedule). With dogs, I would regularly schedule times to take them out for walks - and make sure I match them for however they wanna walk! (Slow, adventurous, running a little faster) I make sure that I have plenty of plastic bags and treats to take with on the walk. I do not like to leave dogs alone for more than 2-4 hours. I love interacting with animals and giving them lots of attention!
