“Julie is awesome! I had her stop by to feed my 2 cats, El Gato and Watson, while we were away for a couple days. She went above and beyond. She took time to give each of them some personal attention. She put up with the mosquitoes in our backyard to make sure El Gato was able to have some outside time. Julie is also a photographer, so she took some great pictures while she was visiting.”
About: I've worked at several canine care facilities in three states over the course of seven years. I am proficient in training as well as facilitating safe play and exercise and I work from home full time. My husband is also experienced in the canine care field (where we met a years ago). We live in an active and very dog friendly neighborhood and take lots of walks to ensure that your dogs get enough activity and attention while they spend time away from home! We also have a spacious, fully fenced in yard. I am comfortable with short or long-term stays, dogs with special or medical needs, high energy or older dogs, having plenty of experience through my previous job which allowed me to dog-sit through the company. We have a nearly one-year old child who loves to look at dogs but has learned that we don’t allow him to physically interact with dogs (until he is much older/more in control of his body!) My knowledge of canine behavior and medical needs through years of supervisory positions in canine care companies is something I can apply now while caring for your dog. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your dog and take them for walks or outside in the yard to run around. My husband is a teacher and is home by 3pm to provide additional engagement. I never take more than two dogs at a time, so I have plenty of time to focus on facilitating a healthy and fun environment.
About: I have taken care of mainly medium to large dogs with high energy. My aunt (having a team of Siberian Husky’s) would often ask for my help with training and race day prep so I was always playing around with dogs in large numbers when living in Colorado. I am currently out of work by 2:30pm Monday-Friday with majority weekend availability. I have no problem with any dog big or small, old or young. I am very active and can keep up with active dogs or slow down if it is an older dog and just go for a leisurely walk. I usually walk my dog for a half hour 3 times a day for a half hour and play with him in my back yard on nice days.
“Love Keith and Ashley!! I feel so safe leaving my dogs at home knowing they will be cared for!”
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I believe its important to treat them well and with respect. I know how important it is for pets to be cared for while we're away I work full time but can come most mornings and evenings to feed/water/play with the animals. I can check in some days mid day if planned in advance. I can come and provide the animals food, fresh water and play with them if they are in the mood for that. In the case of dogs I'm happy to let them outside or go on a short walk with them.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals from raising playful puppies to caring for senior dogs, I’m experienced and comfortable meeting the needs of dogs at every age and stage! As a flight attendant, my schedule is always changing, which actually gives me a lot of flexibility in my time off. On my days home, I love being grounded and spending quality time caring for pets. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my lifestyle because I’m able to fully dedicate my attention to the animals when I’m off. Whether it’s a quick drop in, a walk, or overnight care, I make sure to plan around my availability so I can be reliable and present for each pet I care for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always aim to create a safe, loving, and calm environment. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions or preferences from the owner. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I give them plenty of affection and attention to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I also keep the owner updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind while they’re away.

I also take my boyfriend’s dog on walks when he can’t. I walk him because their isn’t a backyard, but there is a park near by we like to walk to.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was about 6. I have pet sat for the past 12 years, including walks, feeding, just hanging out, and spending the night to care. I have always had a special place in my heart for animals and love to spend as much time with them as I can! I bring pets for walks or let them out to run in the yard , feed them, bathe them, and of course give them all the love and attention they need! Our home as a large fenced in backyard that your pup can run around and play in! I have a pup who LOVES others dogs as well! Stay at home mom who goes on walks regularly with our dog and baby, and brings our dog to acceptable places when leaving the house as well. I have a big fenced in yard and a pup that loves to share his running space. Pets are allowed on my couch and bed so that they feel the most comfortable when here. Will also use crate if that is what’s preferred.
About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a shih tzu and now have two rescue dogs, a labhound (less pictures of him, he has anxiety and does not like photos) and a mastador. I also have experience fostering dogs and previous dog-sitting experience within my community. I currently work a part-time job so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets throughout the week. My shifts normally range from 4-5 hours and i’m free before and after. As an in-house sitter pet care can resume as it normally would, any usual routines or pet needs can and will be handled while you’re away.

Jessiana V.
“We have been fortunate enough to have Jessiana take care of our boxer Okey for the last year. Since we travel a lot Okey has spent a lot of time with Jessiana on walks and days at a time. When Jessiana pulls in the driveway Okey runs out the door and into Jessiana’s car. Although I hate leaving Okey, who usually spends all day with me, I don’t mind leaving her with Jessiana who makes sure she is safe and happy. Jessiana send me photos and lets me know how Okey is doing all the time. I highly recommend Jessiana to take care of your dog as she is dependable and makes sure Okey is always having fun!”
Christopher F.
“Christoper was a great dog sitter for my pup Ellie when I went out of town for the weekend. He regularly texted me updates with photos to let me know how she was doing.
