Coretta checked in on my cats this weekend while I was traveling. As always, she gave me a detailed summary and photos after each check in. She followed all of my instructions, as always. My cats love her and I’m very happy that we found her. I can relax (as much as any pet parent can relax!) when I travel because I know my sweet babies are in good hands.

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!!!

About: I'm friendly, professional and good with pets of all kind. I am available throughout the week and on short notice. I have been a freelance dog sitter and pet owner for years. Looking forward to meeting your loving doggie or kitty, I give good rubs and cuddles if you have a high energy and affectionate pet. I like going for walks and will be sure to incorporate play into our journeys. I spend my free time traveling and researching naturopathy and ancient knowledge. I have a deep respect for all life forms and would provide excellent care for your furry family members. I am good with dogs of all sizes and many other types of animals. Furry friends are fun and make life worth living. I work from home so I am able to dedicate time to the care of a boarded pet and provide plenty of attention as well I have a fenced yard and a friendly chihuahua who loves to make new friends. I enjoy long walks and being attentive to the pet I am caring for.

About: For the past ten years, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of canine and feline companions, from energetic puppies and kittens to serene senior dogs and cats. My approach is always rooted in patience and love, ensuring every animal feels comfortable and cared for. I have extensive experience in administering medications, a testament to my ability to handle sensitive situations with gentleness and precision. My dedication extends to understanding the unique needs of each animal, fostering a trusting and supportive environment for all. I’m currently working from home and have a lot of flexibility to provide pet sitting in my home , dog walking and drop in visits. I have a gated yard. I can crate your furry friend if needed. I always use a Lesh when walking. I will follow your pet schedules just the way you would at home. I will provide plenty of one on one play time. I am constantly sanatizing and cleaning my home to keep your fur baby safe

About: Fenced yard, structured routine, and attentive care in a real home environment. I provide clean, consistent boarding with clear expectations so dogs can settle quickly and feel secure. I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds and temperaments, including Afghan Hounds, Rottweilers, Pitbulls, Cockers, Min Pins, Weimaraners, and Akitas. I’m comfortable handling both easygoing dogs and higher-energy or more strong-willed personalities. My home is set up for structure and safety. I have multiple crates in different sizes, a dedicated space for separation when needed, and a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time. If your dog does best with a quieter environment or needs to be the only dog, I can accommodate that with advance notice and adjusted pricing. Dogs aren't just welcome here, they're remembered. I'm currently home during the day with a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time, space, and love to offer pets who need calm, consistent care while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my routine and brings so much joy into our home. I approach every client's home with the same respect I would want someone to have in mine. I've worked in private homes as a section 8 inspector and a home care aide, so I'm comfortable operating professionally in someone else's space. I follow all house rules, keep things clean, and ensure pets feel safe and at ease while you're away. We live in a pet-friendly neighborhood, and I often take walks around the neighborhood, so any pet will get the benefit of fresh air, familiar sights, and friendly energy. We have a peaceful, fenced yard, and a couple of unoccupied spaces for rest or separation when appropriate. I'm very aware of animal behavior, neighbor pets, and how to make pets feel safe and seen. This is a calm, kid-friendly, and pet-loving home.

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.

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 work as a full time dog groomer and now that Rover has that service, I would like to build my own clientele. 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.

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!

Shakira is very personable and quick-witted. My normally reserved cat came right to her which was a great sign and definitely put me at ease that he was in the care of the right person. I look forward to working with her in the future and highly recommend her service.

I cannot recommend Coretta enough. She was incredibly kind, patient, communicative, and compassionate during an unexpected and urgent situation involving a hospitalized man and his cats. Despite multiple logistical challenges outside of anyone’s control, she remained understanding, flexible, and genuinely caring every step of the way. What stood out most was how much she truly cared — not just about completing a booking, but about the wellbeing of the cats and helping us navigate a stressful situation with kindness and grace. Her communication was excellent, she was dependable, and she gave everyone involved real peace of mind during a difficult time. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable to care for your pets, we wholeheartedly recommend her. We are beyond grateful for her help and kindness.
