Pet Sitting in Colfax

“Lois, did a fabulous job caring for our 2 dogs. We had originally hired her for 1 potty break during the day which at last minute turned into a 2 potty break day. She was responsive and accommodating. Highly recommended Lois”

“Remi is a wonderful care taker. After our initial meeting, I knew she was the right person to care for my senior dog. She even visited with my gecko. Remi will be my go-to person for future needs. I strongly recommend her!”

“Brie did 6 drop in visits for our cat Garbanzo while we were visiting family in Southern California. Garbanzo warmed up to her quickly and overall things went very well! I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future.”

“Nancy’s the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! She’s responsive, eager to make sure all my animals are well taken care of. Whether it’s walking my rat terrier or making sure the heater is working so that they don’t get cold at night, she’s thoughtful and goes the extra distance. And she sends me pictures of the dog and cats at every visit in real time. She’s just wonderful.”

“Ashley was amazing! She was prompt, informative, and send several updates throughout her visit. She even provided an adorable collage after. I would trust her with Charlie anytime!”

About: I love and have kept dogs of all breeds and ages. I know when to cuddle, discipline, give space and to administer medications when needed. I have a very flexible schedule we both can work with. My work allows me to make my own schedule so I have time to devote to something I love to do. I have two dogs over 10 years old, and I walk a golden pup. I know what’s needed for their best care by communicating with their vet and doing my own research.

“Cari took good care of my cat Jack. She did exactly as requested and more, in dealing with a recent issue Jack has been having. Certainly recommended.”

About: Having to leave my own dogs at home while I'm at work, I understand the struggle. I will give your furry friend the care and attention that they miss while you are away. I'm a professional horse farrier. When I'm not out shoeing horses I'm always training my own dogs or friends dogs. I have always had a love for dog walking and spending quality time with animals. If I'm not shoeing horses, I will be available to your furry friends. I currently am part time and get a new schedule once a week. Contact me and I'll let you know what days I can come out. As I have said before, I understand the struggle, stress and worry of leaving your pet at home while you're at work. I have fully experienced with my own dogs especially in our high fire danger area. I will give your critters love and attention while you are away.

About: I grew up around dogs my entire life, we’ve always had various pets in our household from bunnies, rats, ferrets to German Shepard’s, pit bulls and chihuahuas. I’m always home on the weekends, usually just chilling in bed watching movies, or go for a nice walk on the beach or in downtown. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! *Please do not book with me if your dog cannot be left alone during the day. I work from 6a-3p during the week and I have a small apartment so I cannot have them barking the entire time I’m gone. Thank you for understanding* I do work during the weekdays but I work close to my home so I can always come home on my lunch to give midday potty breaks if needed. I have a consistent schedule and am usually home by 3/4pm. Dogs are kept separated when I am not home and I also have 24/7 camera on my apartment so I can always keep an eye on the dogs when I’m not there.

About: Hi! I’m Bella, a devoted pet lover and experienced caregiver excited to meet your furry family members. At home, I have a friendly Australian Shepherd named Frankie who loves playing and hanging out with other dogs, plus two cats- Junie and Pickle, who are super dog-friendly. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, a companion while you’re away, or a safe place to stay, I’m here to provide personalized care with plenty of attention and love.🐾 When your dog stays with me you can expect them to play with Frankie, go for walks and hikes, and be treated as a member of our family. I am currently on a break from work so I have plenty of time to walk and play with the pets I take care of. I have a fenced yard to let dogs out to potty and play. I have a 3-year-old, dog-loving Australian Shepherd to keep your pup company. We do have gates to separate dogs if they need some time alone to relax and have extra crates if your pup likes a place of their own to relax. Dogs are allowed up on our furniture and treated with the same love and care as our pets.

“Jess is fabulous with my pups so happy to have her.🙏”

I have a big fenced yard at home! When i’m taking care of other fur babies I make sure they eat their food and drink their water! I also play with them each time I go over and spend a minimum of an hour to make sure they are happy! I love meeting new furry friends!

“Hannah has done a great job with our two GSD! Our youngest is very apprehensive with new people and she was patient and kind in giving him his space while he gets to know her. She is the quickest he has responded to any sitter we’ve had, which tells me a lot! She is very good at checking in and sending photos of the boys during her visits. I highly recommend her services!”

Melanie M.

“Took very good care of my 3 kitties. 1 of them is quite shy and he warmed up to her. 1 of them needs an inhaler daily, she did well with that. The boys all loved her. Communicates well, is friendly and trustworthy. I highly recommend.”

Julie F.

“Our 3 cats, two dogs and rabbit were well loved and cared for. Mikayla sent daily pictures and even walked the dogs daily. Every pet was calm when we arrived home after our long weekend. Very nice experience for them.”

About: We got our first family dog when I was five and I’ve loved dogs ever since! I regularly pet sit and house sit for friends, family, and people I've caregive for. It's been one of the best jobs I've ever had. I've spent a lot of time around puppies so I do have some skills in puppy training and use positive reinforcement with treats as my personal preference for training. I also have a lot of experience with cats and have one myself. I really love taking pictures/photography so I'll be sure to send you quality pictures of your fur babies while I'm with them! I do pet sitting/house sitting part time but my schedule is really flexible since I work mainly from home. I'm free most weekdays and weekends! More than likely, I will walk your dog in your neighborhood. But I do love to go on long walks/hikes so if you're open to doing a 60 minute walk or over night stay, I'll make sure to take your dog somewhere fun whether it's to a local dog park or to the river!

About: I have been a dog owner all my life and have had cats as well. I treat all animals like they are my own babies. I am currently a stay at home mom so what ever the pup or cat needs, I will be here to make sure it is cared for in the best way possible. I have a house with a fenced in backyard. I have a small dog myself and can be here for them all day. I can walk around my beautiful neighborhood and show love and care.
