“Laurie took excellent care of our babies. Sent us daily updates with photos, which really put our minds at ease. Another plus, our house was in good order when we got home, which has not always been the case. We will definitely use Laurie again! Thanks Laurie!”
“Thanks for taking such great care of Steve, Taco, all the plants, and our house - and for going above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy, exercised, and loving life while we were gone. :)”
About: I have looked after dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. It goes without saying that I love animals. I have many years experience with my own dogs as well as sitting for others. I have done dog sitting, cat sitting, as well as dog walking. I have a very flexible schedule right now during the fall season but once winter starts I will prefer to work longer term gigs and overnights. I am currently only providing services at your own home as no additional pets can be brought to my current rental house. Thank you :)
“Jessica was wonderful with Pepper and Moose! She kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. Both pups were clearly happy and well cared for. We’d absolutely book with her again!”
About: I've been around animals since I was a kid & I love each & every one of them! Whether they bark or meow,tail wags and cuddles are guaranteed! :) I have an 8lb Bichon that I take with me everywhere. We go on walks at least 3/4 times a day for bathroom breaks and socializing. It is part of our daily routine as we both get to go outside for fresh air and exercise. Meeting a new fur baby is exciting. I get to know them and what they're interested in & building trust. I never leave your fur baby alone for a second. Every pawrent & their fur baby is different so I make sure I meet their needs and trust. I go by kindness and making sure that everyone is at ease in a comfortable and friendly environment.
“Abriah did a great job pet sitting for us. We have an older pup who required consistent care with lots of potty breaks and special meds and Abriah was very sweet w him and took good care of him.”
“My Lizzie can be a little skittish with stranger but Calvin went above & beyond to ensure she was happy & comfortable. Communication was consistent along with pictures & video. Highly recommended.”
About: I can offer you the confidence that your pets will get the best care possible and I can give the attention and special care needed to make sure your pet/s are well taken care of in your absence. My love of animals makes them feel nurtured so they are naturally calm and attentive. I have professional pet sitting experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, birds and horses. I have 3 years of live-in pet sitting experience caring for pets. Previously I was a live-in, part-time Pet Sitter in Santa Fe. I cared for one Pomeranian and one Anatolian Shepard. I left that position and moved to Colorado. Prior to my recent position, I was also a live-in, part-time pet sitter on Orcas Island, Washington for 1.5 years. There, I cared for two Akidas. I am active and can provide a good strenuous walk/hike depending on your pet. I also a patient and can walk with older dogs at their pace. I am reliable, caring and trustworthy so your beloved pet/s are safe with me. I will follow your specific instructions and as well as keep them on their schedules. I have senior pet experience, oral medication administration, daily excercise with large and small dogs. I can also provide special attention and play for your cat/s and other pets too.
“Kiaira was AMAZING!! We were in town for my daughter’s wedding & Kiaira helped us with our two Goldens! She was very flexible and was willing to go above & beyond to help out! She walked, played & kept our fur babies happy & content throughout our busy weekend!! I woujd definitely use her again if we are back in this area!!”
“Marissa took great care of our two dogs while we were away. Even with no cell service, we felt completely at ease. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we got home!”
“We loved having Alexandra stay with our 2 dogs while we were out of town. She was communicative, easy to work with and took great care of the boys. We will definitely will work with her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and love all animals. A lot of my friends and family have cats and I have also cared for them too. I love caring for all animals of all ages. I work 4 days out of the week until 5pm but am available otherwise or for overnight stays if needed. I thought working around that may work. I always let the animals come to me to ensure they feel safe and let them sniff me to get to know me. Then going from there I cook some for my senior dog so I am able to offer any special food needs or potty needs since all pets are different. I know animal cpr (learned just in case I also am trained in human cpr). I am very patient with all animals since they are all different and special.
“We recently had Clarissa stay with our mastiff for the very first time. It was a great experience and I would definitely recommend her. Even before she got to our house, she was a dependable communicator about arrival and prep information. Once she was with him, she updated us frequently, took great care of him and our home, and was just overall a great sitter. When we got home the dog was happy, content, and our house was even cleaner than it was when we left. Overall, it was a great experience and I’m happy we found Clarissa.”
“Maria was amazing! She house-sat for us while we were away for a long weekend. We have three dogs and she took such great care of them! She communicated well, sent plenty of photos and updates, and was very respectful of our home. I had seen that she was highly recommended from others in the area, and now I know why - we will definitely be booking with her again in the future! Thanks so much, Maria!”
