“Coretta was amazing - again! She sent a detailed summary of the cats’ interactions with her twice a day after each visit, with photos. I was able to relax on my trip knowing that my babies were being cared for. She followed all instructions related to opening/closing the curtains, and setting the radio in the morning. She’s is awesome!!”
“Thank you!!!”
“Kelera was great! She played with our cats and gave great updates with photos and videos. I have an older cat that is scared of everything and she did her best to check in on her. Our younger cat was so excited for playing”
“Samantha was fantastic - she was extremely responsive when I initially reached out to ask for her availability, set up a meet and greet a few days before I left for my trip, and followed every instruction I gave her to a T. She was on time and sent adorable photos of my pets during her drop-in visits. 10/10 would recommend Samantha for your pet sitting needs!”
“She took very great care of my dogs and kept me updated the whole time!”
“Beverly did a fantastic job taking care of our cat! She was attentive with pictures and messages on each visit. She even double checked with us about the cat's food routine to be sure she was giving him enough. Lovely experience with a lovely person!!!”
“Moria has a sweet and gentle demeanor that my cats are obsessed with! love working with them. Thank you so much!”
About: I take care of all animals in my care, mine or not. I never yell and I don't abuse any animal. I treat them as my own and I make sure that their tail wags every time that they see me. I am currently watching animals as a part time gig as I have a full time job. House sittings are my most popular but I also have many drop in requests as well. I work full time so unless I am doing a house sitting or the place is close by that I can do a fly by, I am not available in the morning most days except weekends. Your dog is never out of my sight unless I allow they are secure in a crate. Any thing that brings me concern will be immediately brought up with you and I will find any solution I can to help.
“Jayden is the best, so kind and attentive and thoughtful! We love seeing all the cute pictures they take, and our two picky cats love Jayden’s care and company.”
About: I have had pets all my life, and absolutely love them. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them the love and care that they deserve! Dogs are wonderful, and they deserve all the happiness that we give them. Walking your dog is such an important thing to do, and I would love to have the opportunity to walk your dog if you are busy. I know life can get hectic, which is why I am here to help you out if you need it! Thank you! I work full time, and work a rotating shift schedule. What I work changes every week, so I have no doubts I'll be able to help you with what you need! I personally have two dogs, and have had dogs growing up my entire life. Getting the energy out of your pets by walking them or playing with them is so important for them to live a full life.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I’ve grown up around them so I know how to take proper care of dogs of all sizes. I have a true love for animals and so I try to show each pert the love that they deserve. I’ve also fostered dogs while being at school, as well as done community service work at animal shelters and vet offices. I am a college student home for the summer. I have a pretty open availability and am able to meet all of your pet needs. I am available for walks, potty time, as well as staying with your fur baby as needed. With my love of animals it’s important to me that they receive the love they would from their owner so I make sure to stick to any routines and create new experiences for each pet. I am open to meeting the needs of your pet based on the space available. Whether that’s walks, playtime, etc. I drive so I’m open to going to parks and locations for enrichment time and whatever is needed.
“Daniela is great! She is very responsive and my dogs really enjoy her.”
“Dominique did a wonderful job! She was the first sitter I hired for my new pet. Her videos and pictures of my little kitten made me feel a lot better about having to leave. I hope to employ Dominique many times in the future, she makes sure our fur babies are safe and loved.”
“Shantell does a great job taking care of my fur baby. He feels comfortable around her and responds well.”
“Nariah was great! Took great care of my jazmine and even brought in a perishable package that was delivered and put it away for me. I mistakenly put the wrong address on my reservation and Nariah was understanding and still was able to help me out for the weekend. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I have experience with dogs with anxiety who use medication, needy/clingy dogs, and dogs with disabilities. I am extremely thorough and patient in case something goes wrong with them and I maintain a calm demeanor at all times. When it comes to instructions, please provide a brief, detailed description of your pet's daily routine and I'll follow it to the letter. I'm currently a graduate student at CSU; summers are a slow period for me. I am more than willing to babysit pets for as many nights, walks, feeding times as needed. During school time I will do walks, feeding visits and the occasional overnight weekend stay. I am committed to your pet's comfort level and will adapt to their schedule to the best of my ability. I will spoil them rotten because I absolutely love all dogs and cats of all shapes and mannerisms. Even if they hate me. If I am confused about anything regarding your pet's behavior, such as licking paws, over-grooming, an increase in urination, I will let you know about it as soon as I see it. I also LOVE talking to the pets so I will have full-on conversations with them. I'm especially good with repeat visits so if you are interested in having a one-time sitter for the next few years, I'm MORE than willing to take up that responsibility. Familiarity is very important with pets and as mentioned before, I am focused on the pet's comfort.
“Shakira did an awesome job dropping-in on the two girls while we were away. She kept us up-to-date with pictures and let us know when some special needs arose...went above and beyond to take care of them. Highly recommended...we will definitely look forward to booking her again in the future.”
About: I’ve Taken care of and trained over dozens of animals in over 6 years. I was an assistant pet trainer/groomer at a dog kennel. And volunteer for several animal shelters. I love taking care of animals of all kind, but specifically cats and dogs! I’m currently working part time remotely, so I’ll have a lot of time to make sure you pet is loved and cared for! I have a cat of my own and I always make sure she’s happy and healthy! I like to take walks 2-3 times a day so I don’t mind making sure your fur baby has had plenty of potty breaks. I live in a gated community with a fence separating me from my neighbors. I also have a huge backyard and plenty of space to keep your animals active and happy. I also love taking walks and having outside time. They deserve to have fun and enjoy their day too!
About: I am an artist and former dog owner with experience working as a private dog sitter for the past 10 years. I love pets immensely, and am so excited to meet yours! Every dog I get to greet is a gift, and I treat them as such. Through my own experience as a dog owner, and diverse experience with other dogs, I have learned a lot that I get to bring to these new situations. I know how vital calmness can be, and keep myself patient. I know every dog is different, so please share everything you can about your animal and all their quirks! Getting to interact with animals is so much fun and so fulfilling, I wish to spend more of my time doing it when I can. I currently work from home, so my schedule is incredibly flexible! I'm available for walks throughout the week and can stay with your fur baby as need be. I like to keep the care of your pet as close as possible to their normal routine, so please keep that information clearly written out if possible, or we can talk through it together.

10. Rebecca W.
“Rebecca has successfully raised dogs from puppyhood as well as caring for dogs beginning in their adulthood. These dogs have come from breeders and rescue shelters, so she’s confident around all personalities and life stages of dog! Rebecca patiently acclimated a very skittish and fearful dog to life with people and now he’s absolutely thriving - I highly recommend her for dog sitting.”

16. Alexa B.
“I've had Alexa cat sit for us several times when I've gone on vacation. She always takes care to make sure that the cats are fed and that the litter box is cleaned on time. Another nice thing about Alexa is that she also gives the cats plenty of physical activity which is greatly appreciated. One final thing that I want to make a note of is that she is very careful regarding how much she feeds the cats. One of our cats tends to over eat and can be food aggressive, so it is tempting to over feed him. Alexa does not give into his demands and helps him stay on his intended diet.”
