House Sitting in Colfax

“Nancy was great. Our Holly is very nervous around strangers but Nancy too the time with her and won her over. Could have been happier. We got daily update and photos. Will definitely use her again.”

“Shayna did a great job with my dog! She did dog/house sitting while I was away for a week. She sent me updates with pictures each day. She read all the instructions I had left for her and asked questions to be sure she got them right. When I got home, I could tell that my dog (and house) had been very well cared for. I will definitely book Shayna again. Thanks so much!”

“Mel was excellent with Rheia, our 4 year-old chow mix, from the first time they met and was consistently responsive, thoughtful, and thorough in caring for her and our home while we were away for a week. We came home to the happiest dog and the cleanest, most well cared-for home that we could have possibly expected. We’ll definitely work with Mel again both for house/pet-sitting and boarding. She even was flexible with extending our trip unexpectedly. Rheia often can be challenging when meeting new people, but she had absolutely no issues with Mel who was very adept at behavioral techniques to quickly befriend dogs that tend toward guarding. We feel secure and able to travel with peace of mind knowing we can rely on Mel to care for our furriest family member.”

“Meaghan is a great pet sitter. My cat was happy when we returned and the house was clean and orderly. I would definitely like to have Meaghan pet sit again.”

“I can’t recommend Brit enough as a pet sitter! She is the only person I trust with my fur babies—two dogs and a cat. She goes above and beyond in her care, always staying on track with feeding times, medication, letting them out, and play time. And the fur babies absolutely LOVE her. Not only does she take incredible care of the pets, but she also house sits for us and leaves our home immaculate—cleaner than we left it! One of our dogs had her first seizure while we were away, and Brit handled the situation perfectly. She remained calm, contacted emergency veterinary care, and took our dog to the vet immediately while communicating with us throughout the entire process. Her experience and quick thinking gave us peace of mind during a scary moment. Whether it’s for a couple of days or a few weeks, there’s no one I trust more than Brit. If you want to rest easy knowing your pets are receiving the love and care they deserve while you’re away, I highly recommend her!”

About: Since I was a child, I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, hamsters and even fish! Currently, I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, a hamster and several betta fish. I have been trusted by neighbors, friends and family, to provide excellent care for their pets. I have lots of experience with feeding routines, exercise needs, bathing, and specialized care for puppies and senior dogs. A main priority of mine is to ensure your pet feels happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members! I’m currently going to cosmetology school full time during the week, so I would love to be able to care for your fur baby anytime after 5 pm Tuesday-Friday and full time Saturday-Monday! Different dogs require different types and levels of care. To ensure you and your pet are comfortable with my care, I would love to know the ground rules for your pet.

“Nathan was communicative, prompt, very personable, and did a great job sitting our high-maintenance Jack Russell while we were traveling for the holidays. I will definitely book him again!”

“Lorena is everything you could ever want in a sitter. She takes care of all your needs and my animals warmed up to her right away. I would highly recommend.”

“Ashley was so amazing! She sent so many pictures and updates, and made our little pup feel so comfortable! I will 100% be booking her again ☺️”

“Amy is kind, caring, and attentive. My pets loved her. She is excellent and communicating and sending updates. She’s very generous and fair with her pricing and services. She will be my go to for any future housesitting/ pet care needs. Thank you Amy 😍”

“Stacie responded quickly whenever I checked in. Our dog seemed happy when we got back from our trip! She helped do a few extra things at our house too with our chickens. Everything at the house was fine when we got back.”

“Katie was fantastic! She watched our 7 yr. old dog and our new puppy while we attended a family event. She took our older dog for a run, which was great because our older dog is so high energy! She also tended to our new puppy with great care. She definitely had her hands full for the day but handled them both with ease! It was a great experience for us and our dogs. We hope she'll be available again when we need a sitter. Thank you Katie ♥️”

“Avalon watched my two pups for a week and did a wonderful job! She was very communicative and made sure I know all was going well, so I could enjoy my trip. I would be happy to have her back again!”

“Alyssa was great and very transparent with my dogs needs. I would recommend her :)”

“Jessica house sat my boys over the Xmas holiday when I needed to be assured they would be well cared for. They can be rambunctious and challenging sometimes and Jessica handled it all. I will be happy to have Jessica sit with them again.”

“House looked great and dogs were good! Kept me updated.”

“We cannot recommend Logan enough as a pet sitter! She is super responsible and reliable, and she has such a special connection with all animals (and people, too!). Logan always kept us updated with daily photos, videos and messages while we were away. We never worried about our gang because we knew that Logan had everything under control and could manage anything that came up. A couple of our cats are shy and they absolutely fell in love with her - no hiding or running away. Logan took the time to get to know their personalities and needs, always ensuring they felt comfortable and loved. She also took lots of time to play with them - something that most pet sitters say that they do but they often don’t. To receive a video showing our kids playing with Logan while we were traveling- what a gift! Whether it's feeding, scooping or simply giving them some much-needed attention, Logan does it all with a smile and great attention to detail. We truly appreciate how trustworthy and caring she is. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Logan is the one!”

“Annsley worked her magic on Sophy, who is a very sensitive rescue dog, with anxiety and a lot of shyness. Sophy was giving Annsley doggie kisses the day after I left for my trip…a first for a pet sitter for her. Annsley stayed in good communication, just the right amount and was able to send pictures too. When she had a concern about Sophy not taking her morning medication, Annsley contacted me right away and we figured it out…all good. I am very grateful that Annsley was able to do this sit for us…it was very short notice as I was traveling to attend a family member funeral. Lastly, I really appreciate Annsley’s enthusiasm and love for animals in general, and her excitement to do this sit for us.”
