11. Emily L.
About: Ive taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 8. I have always had a passion for animals, especially dogs. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, play and love their fur babies like my own. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time for your pups! I'm available for borading anytime, as well as walks or drop ins to your home. I live in a gated community and we have lots of dog areas to walk to! I also have one doggo, her name is Nova and she is my baby.
12. Erin F.
“Her kind, caring way with our shy dog Beau was wonderful. As soon as they left the house, he warmed right up to her. She’s very communicative and tries to make the time you need for a walk work. I am sure we will be booking her again.”
13. Tallie W.

15. Angelina B.
“Angi has been attentive and courteous to my 3 dogs (beagle Fara, 4 years old. boxer Stella, 5 years old. beagle Dolce, 1 year.) Dolce isn't house trained so I wasnt sure what to expect when I came home but Angi was so diligent that there wasnt a single accident. And the service was affordable on top of that!”
16. Kasey W.
“Kasey is amazing with animals, I've had numerous experiences with him where the animal is naturally drawn towards him and feels comfortable with him. We've taken neighbors' dogs on walks as favors and just for fun, every time he has handled them well, even when handling larger dogs prone to distraction and chasing after animals, bikes, etc. He has a naturally friendly demeanor as a person which translates very well into his interactions with animals, he is also very gentle when needed, such as when we walked my neighbor's small elderly dog who was very fragile but energetic at the time, he kept him under control while being delicate as to not cause him discomfort. Outside of dogs he has also helped to care for my chinchilla, and they are known to be difficult to deal with as they don't like being held/picked up and are very fast, but they also need to be let out in order to keep them healthy. Every time he has helped me he has done well with handling her so that she cannot jump out of his arms but also making it so she doesn't feel trapped. Overall, I'd totally recommend choosing kasey to take your dog(s) out, I can assure you that he is very responsible and has a genuine love for animals.”
17. Lizzie M.
“Elizabeth watches my dog and two cats and is a wonderful petsitter. My dog is pretty shy and doesn't take well to strangers but bonded almost immediately with her. Last year my cat, Leo, got sick right before I left for vacation and she was extremely attentive, sending me updates while I was gone, which I appreciated. I was worried three pets would be too much but after having her watch mine on and off for the past two years I feel completely comfortable leaving them with her. She's an excellent sitter!”
18. Jamie M.
“Jamie has walked my little man twice. She was early both times, very courteous and eager to connect with my dog. My guy will be thrilled to see her next time I'm sure. I highly recommend Jamie!”
19. Olivia G.
About: I have taken care of, dogs, cats, horses, goats, pigs, spiders, birds, fish, snakes, lizards, rats , hermit crabs, and even babies! Grew up in Florida with the more exotic animals, and farm life in Central Florida. Colorado has been more conventional pets. Tiny guys to large pitbulls and German Shepards. I love them all. I work as a fine dining server so I can be on call to care for a pet pretty last minute if I am needed. I have very flexible hours and can easily set up a routine visit if needed. Feel free to ask for last minute bookings. I also have my car if needed. In your home or mine, I am open to any and all rules or routines you would like your pet to be on. It's like babysitting but way better! Ha I live in my own apartment home with no pets or kids. Large outside area/private yard.
20. Jordan P.
“Jordan is really great with dogs. When she moved home with me she made a lot of good suggestions regarding training my 4 dogs. They are much better behaved because of her and they love her very much. I've also seen her deal with Thor, the Husky/Great Pyrenees mix next door. He is high strung and hard to manage. He listens to Jordan, she can catch him when he gets out. Jordan is dependable and diligent. She'd be a good addition to your company.”
