“Cassandra was the best! Great with details, very communicative, and, most importantly, she was amazing with our two kitties! They are usually a little skittish, but warmed right up to her. She gave them food and water, played with them, cleaned up after them, and even brushed them (our long-haired cat needs regular grooming). It was such a relief during our vacation to know our girls were in such great hands!”


“Coretta is very reliable and we enjoy working with her! She built trust with both cats (even our scaredy cat), and she sends great pictures and updates. We are return customers and will continue to be:)”


“From the moment we met her, we knew our cat was in the most loving and capable hands. She cared for our fur baby with so much tenderness and attention, going above and beyond to ensure Charlie felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. Her daily updates brought us peace of mind and smiles each day. We are so grateful for her, and feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so wonderful to care for our Charlie.”


“Laurel has been great with our dog! Rufio was super happy and she was very prompt with visits, great to work with on scheduling, and very friendly! Plus got some super cute pics of the pup during her visits :)”



“Samantha was great to work with! We were nervous to leave our kittens for the first time and she was patient and took detailed notes during our meet and greet. She sent detailed updates and lots of pictures. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away.”



“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!!!”


“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.”


“Roxy was responsive, arrived as scheduled, and checked on our pets as requested. I also appreciate Roxy bringing in our mail packages that were left at the door. Thank you!”


“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 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've owned dogs of all size and ages. I provide many services including walking, feeding, playtime and giving so much love. I can provided nothing but the best care while you're away. I have a flexible and open summer schedule. I am available at anytime of the day to support your furry companion. I can be available to you when you need! I have a fenced yard and secured home and will provided constant supervision of your pet. Your pet will receive the exact care that you outline.

About: I grew up with dogs - my Afghan, Kesha, was my first best friend and how I learned to braid (lol). I've cared for Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, Cockers, and Min Pins. I've dog-sat and cat-sat for family and neighbors for years, and now my daughters and I are ready to open our peaceful home and fenced yard to pets needing love while their people are away. Our house has a crate, a basement space, and plenty of tail-wagging energy. Dogs aren't just welcome here, they're remembered forever. 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, a home care aide, and an insurance rep, 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. My daughters and I often take walks around the neighborhood, so any pet we care for will get the benefit of fresh air, familiar sights, and friendly energy. We have a peaceful, fenced yard, a crate if needed, and a quiet, unoccupied basement space 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: My wife and I love dogs and own 2 small shitzu/bichon ourselves. Our house is ideal because we have a large fenced yard and are near a park. If there is inclement weather, we also have a large basement. Since we no longer have young children in the home, dogs provide us with joy and love. We walk our own dogs twice a day and play with them frequently. Since I work from home, the dogs are not left alone often or for long periods of time.

Yesenia S.
“She’s an amazing dog sitter ! I always bring my baby poohbear to her home. Ever since she was 8 weeks Yesenia has been an amazing dog sitter for over 2 years now!”


Paul W.
“Paul has stolen my dogs hearts! They are excited, exhilarated and anxious to go with him which demonstrates the kindness and care he gives them when they are with him. He plays with them, takes them for walks in the park and supervises their play in his big back yard. I also get photos of my babies when I am traveling. I will continue to board them with him rather than a kennel. You will delight in the care he provides for your four legged family members.”


Tonisa J.


“She is awesome with our doggy”


SaTarah N.
“I left my Boxer over there for 2 days and he loved it she updated me with pictures twice a day. She also had her own dogs and they all played. I would be bringing my dog back whenever needed.”
