About: I love being able to take care of dogs like they are my own - I always grew up with dogs as big as a 100-pound flat coated retriever and my little terrier-dachshund mix back home in Santa Cruz. I also have assisted professional dog walkers in San Francisco. I love running, hiking, and walking throughout Boulder but also love a calm day with my book on the couch. Growing up with dogs allows me to take care of my dog like it is my own - with the most care, love, and respect possible. I am attentive and will do everything I to make sure you know your dog is having the best time. I’ve attached some photos of dogs who are near and dear to me :) I work part time as a landscaper and canvasser for the environment when I’m not pet sitting. These are short shifts throughout the week so I have a lot of flexibility in terms of scheduling. Essentially, I am ready to accommodate any kind of dog! I live in roomy 2 bed apartment with someone who also loves dogs. We have lots of room and thankfully, hard wood floors (easy cleanup!) Outside the apartment, there are lots of grass areas for dogs. Depending on your dogs needs, we will likely take lots of bathroom breaks, go for walks, and play inside (maybe catch a nap too) in case it’s too hot. There is always a full water bowl and I am always paying attention for queues for going to the bathroom, etc. In terms of boarding, it’s completely up to your dog! So the couch, bed, floor, crate are all up for grabs so that they feel at home.
“Hanna is a great cat sitter! Bagheera is always so happy to see her ❤️ repeat customer here who's glad to have found someone reliable to watch my cat”
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.
“Cat litter was as clean as possible, my kitties had plenty of food and water still! Perfectly done ✅ will book again in the future when possible”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have been relied on to take care of them every day! i love each animal as if they were my own and demonstrate so much love and responsibility towards other loved ones animals! I am currently a student at CU Boulder and have a very flexible schedule! I am available most early mornings and any afternoons, as well as weekends! I have a front and backyard and live in a great neighborhood for walking! I am also very flexible and can drive to anywhere if necessary
About: I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was a pre-teen, including overnight care. I grew up with dogs along my side, but I also have plenty of experience with cats, rodents, and chickens! I’ve cared for many animals with anxiety and understand some pets may take significant time to bond with. I am a CU Boulder student with availability on weekend and weekday mornings, afternoons, evenings, and holidays since I am not enrolled in summer courses. Your pet(s) will be my top priority. I provide reliable care to make sure your pet(s) is happy, healthy, and comfortable in their regular environment while you’re away or busy. This also means taking care of your home during overnight stays and keeping you regularly updated.
“Maggie is fantastic!! She is very reliable even in awful weather and she practices great communication. She always plays or cuddles with my cat according to my cat’s needs for the day, and my pet is always happy to see her. It’s such a relief to know that Matilda is well cared for while I am away. Looking forward to working with Maggie more in the future!”
About: Hi! I have been dog-sitting and walking for 5 years now and before that I have never been without a pup nearby! My house has always had at least 2 dogs (right now there are three!). I am living in an apartment right now in Boulder and my pups are at my parents house in California, so I am without a furry friend and would love to give your pup all of my love and attention. I live near many walking trails and dog friendly parks, so your pup will have plenty of fun and exercise with me! I have experience with brand new puppies all the way through senior dogs. I am comfortable with puppies still working on potty training and older pups who need regular medication doses. I have a pretty spacious car to take your doggie on excursions if you would like!! I love to hike and enjoy Colorados outdoors and would love to bring your pup with me (heat permitting). I am comfortable with off-leash dogs that are certified with Boulder county and am happy to help refresh any of that training with your pup! I love to take dogs to the East Boulder Community Park so they can be socialized and swim in the fenced in pond! They also have a small dog area there if that would make your little dog more comfortable, but I know a lot like to play with the big guys! (I also like to check with you to make sure parks work for your pup, but I have plenty of other ways to keep them entertained and exercised! I love to return a sleepy pup!!) They are also always more than welcome on the bed and couch for snuggles. I only work three days a week, so on my off days I will be around all day to take care of your pup on my off days (Friday-Sunday). I wake up pretty early (pre 7am usually) so all potty breaks and early meals will be attended to. I am also happy to adjust my schedule per ur pups needs. I have nothing but love and patience to give your pups!! I am a major dog lover and want to make sure your pup feels that love. They are always allowed on the bed and couch for snuggle and of course can have their own space should they need it! I am an attentive caregiver and love walking and exercising dogs so they will never have a dull moment with me. I also love bringing them around on errands so long as it is not too hot and you are comfortable with it!! I am also responsive on my phone and happy to send pictures and videos so you can always reach me and your pup!!
About: I've cared for pets my whole life, only recently owning my own in the last couple years. I'm the biggest animal lover and I'll make sure your pets get the love and care they deserve. I have a cat who basically runs my life (in the best way). I take him out for walks every day and he gets every little thing he could ever want. I am also training him for certain commands, administer medications when needed, and keep his life as enriched as possible. No matter how clingy the animal, I'm happy to give any attention asked for and accommodate their needs. I am also great with careful introductions to new animals as I know some can be skittish or nervous and I will always have the patience to wait for them to come to me.
“Kiera has been amazing with Gino. Very loving and reliable”
“Regan was great. She sent pictures, gave Goose a short walk for a bathroom break and stayed the entire time. She also went above and beyond to clean up some of the food Goose had strung about.”
About: Hi there! I have been dog sitting for over 10 years. I have plenty of experience with all types of dogs, including large dogs and dogs with special needs. In the past I have volunteered for several different animal shelters as well. I am a teacher that is off work for the summer, so my schedule is very open! I am available all of July and August. I have a fenced in yard and cozy home. My dog, Paisley, is very welcoming and loves to cuddle and play. I also have roomates, so there is always someone to get pets from!
About: I have been pet sitting for 8+ years and grew up with two wonderful dogs of my own back home! I absolutely adore animals and love experiencing the outdoors with them! I am ready to offer your dog a loving and caring home to stay in or come to you for your needs! I look forward to hearing from you! I am currently available 24/7 to care for and play with your pups and then during the year will have some classes but will come home in between! I am able to take your pet out as many times as requested/needed and can offer a loving home with roommates who cannot wait to have a pup in the home!
