About: Animals have a special place in my heart. I've had quite a few dogs and a cat, but additionally I've been responsible for others pets while house sitting and babysitting as well. Dog parks and long walks are my favorite! Additionally, my dogs have all been trained, so I've had experience keeping up with their training and would love to help with your pets as well. I'm currently a student at CU Boulder studying Monday through Friday from 8am until 2pm, so I have plenty of time for pet care. I love getting plenty of steps in everyday so walking and hiking are activities I love to do myself - having a furry companion makes it more fun! At home my pup and I go on at least two longer walks per day, occasionally we will go to the dog park and at least once a week we will find a good hike. In the home he needs let out to the back, played with with toys and he enjoys a treat every now and then. I have experience kenneling dogs, putting together dog treat games and practicing their training with them.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember! I had my own dog for 14 years so I understand the patience and attention pets need through each stage of their life. This reaches from a playful puppy to gentle senior care. I have also pet sat for numerous families, making sure each pet has felt safe and comfortable! I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule. I’m available for dog walks early mornings on the days Monday, Wednesday Thursday, and Friday and anytime after 5pm each day! On weekends, I am open after 4pm as I work in the mornings. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making them part of my routine! As a dog walker, I make sure each walk is safe, active, and tends to the pets needs! This ranges from a slower pace for older dogs or a more active and playful walk for younger and energetic dogs! I’m careful about following any instructions that the owner provides for me!
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.
“Matthew did a great job taking care of our cat for the first time. He was an excellent communicator, on time, and followed instructions carefully. Plus, our kitty tends to be very nervous and she warmed up to Matthew quickly. Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve grown up with two big dogs Jaki & Halo (my worlds) , I love animals and making them feel loved and taken care of always! I’ve always pet sit for my neighborhood and friends and would love to expand my work to others in need:) I’m a full time student at CU Boulder majoring in MCDB so my schedule is open Monday 9AM-4PM/ 6PM - Anytime Wednesday 5PM - Anytime Saturday All day and Sunday All day I care for pets in clients home with anything listed that the clients want for their pet and some loving from me! I have always preferred to stay/ drop ins at the clients home because I’ve felt that pets have less anxiety and feel more cared for that way!
About: I grew up with many cats and dogs in the house and always loved playing with them, feeding them and going out for walks! Ever since I moved out I have jumped at any opportunity to take care of friends pets from cats to dogs of all sizes. I currently work full time in a hybrid office job. My remote work time is very flexible and I can tailor my work schedule to your pets needs. I understand that each pet has its own personality, sensitivity and needs and I will take the time to get to know your pet and be responsive to their needs in order to provide the best care possible.
About: Ranging from young puppies to 16-year-old dachshunds, I am a true dog lover! I specialize in high energy dogs who really need some proper walks (or even runs) - and I track all walks on my Garmin and can send you the file when we’re done! As of right now, I am available weekdays and most weekends, at any time that works best for you. I am very flexible and can make last minute reservations work most of the time. Respect is most important when working with animals, as well as your home. I always take the extra time to ensure my clients homes are looked after and cleaned up after whatever adventure we go on. I am always open to specific instructions from my clients, however they are not required.
“Avery was awesome with my cat, Snow! I really appreciated the quick response for a last-minute booking. Communication was great, and I loved the cute photo updates.”
About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals, both my own and extended family's. My family had always trusted me to take care and walk their pets when they are out of town. I love spending time outside so I am always super excited to have a furry friend join me on a walk. I’m currently in between jobs, which means my schedule is super open — so I have plenty of time to spend with your pup! Whether your dog prefers morning strolls, midday potty breaks, or evening walks to wind down, I’m happy to work around their routine. I know every dog has their own rhythm, and I want to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Just let me know what time works best for you and your pup, and I’ll make it happen! I’m all about making sure both pets and their people feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. I take directions seriously and always follow the specific routines and preferences you share with me — whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or quirky habits that make your pet feel at home. I’m also big on communication. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you’re never left wondering how things are going. Whether I’m in your home or on a walk with your pet, I aim to create a safe, calm, and loving environment that matches the level of care you’d give yourself.
“Maggie is an excellent Rover! She is very thoughtful, caring, and attentive. She sent great photos and descriptions of the fun time that she had with my cat Matilda. I have already made another booking with Maggie for my next trip!”
About: My entire life I have owned at least 3 pets. From foster cats, to my own cats, dogs, neighbors dogs, etc. I am a pet person through and through. I have a range of ages of animals I’ve taken care of - from dogs in elderly stages to 2 week old kittens. I am currently working from home Mon,Wed, Thursday, Fri. I’m constantly taking quick walks around the block during the day to keep my energy up and get outside. We have already cat sat in our apartment and everything went smoothly. We ensure doors are closed and locked at all times so there is a 0% chance of escaping. I live in between two parks as well which are always full of dogs to play in.

She did AMAZING, no feedings were missed, she stuck to his pretty specific schedule, AND brought him safely back one we got home. Damn good cat sitter.”

Carrie did an excellent job caring for our two cats while we were away! She was prompt and communicative, and kept us updated on how they were doing with notes and pictures. I was able to relax knowing they were in good hands. Carrie followed their care instructions well and they were very happy and healthy when we returned. I would gladly use Carrie for cat sitting again in the future!
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!
