About: Grew up with cats and currently live with one 7 year old cat. I have experience with dog sitting and care, and can provide a loving environment for your pet. Every day I take care of my cat by feeding, playing, cuddling, petting, and cleaning her litter box. I’m always providing attention to her and any other pets I’m sitting. I always make sure to follow any guidelines set out by the owner regarding care, food intake, and exercise. I also have a fenced in yard that dogs love to play in.
“Zane jumped in last minute to help check in on a 4 month old puppy I was fostering. He was so prompt with his communication and made the process a breeze. Much appreciated!”
“Carrie was a wonderful friend to our Stella. She was incredibly punctual and kept us informed about their activities while we were away. Very quick to respond to questions, and overall helpful. We have already booked Carrie again! Highly recommended.”

About: I have been pet sitting for 8+ years and grew up with two wonderful dogs of my own back home! I absolutely adore animals and love experiencing the outdoors with them! I am ready to offer your dog a loving and caring home to stay in or come to you for your needs! I look forward to hearing from you! I am currently available 24/7 to care for and play with your pups and then during the year will have some classes but will come home in between! I am able to take your pet out as many times as requested/needed and can offer a loving home with roommates who cannot wait to have a pup in the home!
About: I love being able to take care of dogs like they are my own - I always grew up with dogs as big as a 100-pound flat coated retriever and my little terrier-dachshund mix back home in Santa Cruz. I also have assisted professional dog walkers in San Francisco. I love running, hiking, and walking throughout Boulder but also love a calm day with my book on the couch. Growing up with dogs allows me to take care of my dog like it is my own - with the most care, love, and respect possible. I am attentive and will do everything I to make sure you know your dog is having the best time. I’ve attached some photos of dogs who are near and dear to me :) I work part time as a landscaper and canvasser for the environment when I’m not pet sitting. These are short shifts throughout the week so I have a lot of flexibility in terms of scheduling. Essentially, I am ready to accommodate any kind of dog! I live in roomy 2 bed apartment with someone who also loves dogs. We have lots of room and thankfully, hard wood floors (easy cleanup!) Outside the apartment, there are lots of grass areas for dogs. Depending on your dogs needs, we will likely take lots of bathroom breaks, go for walks, and play inside (maybe catch a nap too) in case it’s too hot. There is always a full water bowl and I am always paying attention for queues for going to the bathroom, etc. In terms of boarding, it’s completely up to your dog! So the couch, bed, floor, crate are all up for grabs so that they feel at home.
“Maggie is fantastic!! She is very reliable even in awful weather and she practices great communication. She always plays or cuddles with my cat according to my cat’s needs for the day, and my pet is always happy to see her. It’s such a relief to know that Matilda is well cared for while I am away. Looking forward to working with Maggie more in the future!”
“Cashlin did 3 drop in visits for my dog Storm and he was so happy! Cashlin was very responsive and friendly, and sent updates about the walks with Storm. I highly recommend booking Cashlin for your next visit!”
“Thank you Sullivan !! Really appreciate you taking care of him , getting back to me quickly , sending pics . We came home later and I knew he was taken care of with love ! His lovies were out! Thanks again and I will set up another time . Thank you !!”
“Dana is a great choice for watching your pets! She is reliable and communicated very well. Our older french bulldog has had spinal surgery and Dana accommodated him with care and affection; at the same time, she managed my very excitable bulldog puppy! I recommend Dana without hesitation. -Tracey”

Eva is fantastic & took great care of our cat as always. We always receive daily updates and photos which are always fun and appreciated. Would book again 10/10
Raina was very responsible and took great care of our hamster and fish. I would highly recommend her!
Our cat seemed glad to see Falecia every day, and we were happy to receive a number of pictures each time she visited. Falecia kept the food and water bowls full, the litter box clean, and watered our plants. We will definitely book her again!
Kyle was extremely communicative, responsive, and followed all of our instructions to a T while taking care of our two kittens for a weekend! He was even able to give our squirmy girl ear drops by himself after she developed an ear infection the week prior. We would totally trust Kyle with taking care of our babies again!
Morgan was great! Did well with my two cats, my shy cat was comfortable enough around her to not hide the whole time which is a big deal. Morgan was a reliable communicator and did the job well
Zane is reliable and thorough. Also, he quickly befriended our cat Keira. We'll definitely work with him again
Mary is the best catsitter we’ve had! She is on top of everything and so sweet with our cat, Juno. I love that she sends photos, updates, videos, and she is just really reliable and great to work with.
Judy took good care of my pets in spite of their idiosyncrasies. Her communication was great and I felt they were in good hands. I would definitely use her again!
Rory was amazing with Rey! Sent very cute and fun pictures and is a great communicator. Our feeder failed to detect Rey eating for a day, and Rory did an unscheduled visit to make sure he was okay and eating! Would book to petsit again!
I have literally never felt so comfy with a sitter as I have with Alexandra! She sent plenty of pictures, left a great description of her visits, and kept us in the loop! Super great!
Kim is wonderful and beloved by our cat who waits by the window for her to arrive. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Brian took great care of my two cats while I was out of town. He sent many photos and gave updates on how they were doing. He was very helpful and communicative when one of the cats had to go to the emergency vet. Came back to a tidy apartment and happy cats!
Chelsea was great! She took great care of my dog and always made sure to share all the details of each visit.
This is the second time Jayden’s sat for me and I will definitely reach out to her in the future as well! Her communication and care for my cats gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation, and when I got home I could tell they had gotten plenty of attention and that my care instructions had been followed.
Reliable, caring, easy to communicate with It’s now my first choice when I need a pet sitter for Gino
I enjoyed the updates I got in a daily visit. I’ve never let Keisa this long and I felt very comfortable with Avery taking care of her
Abby was friendly and great with our dog. She provided great communication before and during our trip. She proactively made sure she knew all our dog's care needs and general stuff for dealing with our house setup. Overall warm and professional - will definitely reach out next time.
Emilie was fantastic! She was very prompt at responding and took exceptional care of our cat Matisek while we were away. Her notes were detailed and helpful and we appreciated all the time she spent making sure Matisek was well cared for in our absence. When we got back, everything at home was in tip top shape. Thanks so much, Emilie!
