Pet Sitting in Colfax

“Melissa went above and beyond during her house sitting for me. She’s communicative, reliable, and she even cleaned my apartment for me, which was extremely kind and appreciated. I trust my cats with her and I would book again with Melissa in a heartbeat.”

“Morgan was our dogsitter in Flagstaff, AZ for several years before moving away in early 2025. We are so sad that she cannot watch our two dogs any longer. Morgan would watch our two large and rambunctious dogs for weekends when we had to travel, or for several weeks when we would go on vacation. Not only did she give the dogs a lot of love and attention, exercised them, and administered meds as needed, she also left our house clean and in order. Morgan is very reliable; she will be there when scheduled, follow through, and communicate. We trust Morgan fully and will miss her very much.”

“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.”

About: I have lived with cats and dogs most of my life and am a true animal lover. Friends have had me care for their cats and dogs when they have been on vacation. I've cared for senior cats who needed daily medications by mouth or injection. I believe all animals deserve to be treated with respect and love on their terms. I currently retired and am on SS. I would like to spend my free time caring for animals. I am available during the day times. Since I have five cats at home, I cannot do overnight jobs. Since I have five cats at home, I would prefer caring for client's pets at their homes. I am especially interested in visiting several pets throughout the day.

“Nancy is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. She genuinely cares about my pets, and she’s always right on top of things, taking care of whatever they need. I can go away and never worry about their anxiety levels while I’m gone, because I can tell how much they love her.”

“Where do we start. Abby not only did a phenomenal job with our little dog but she went above and beyond. I can honestly say that she exceeded our expectations as this was the first time we used rover. She is awesome, friendly and communicates very quickly. We found the person we would love to use moving foward and our puppy was beyond happy with her. Thank you very much Abby for being so awesome!”

“Mia is a reliable, caring and professional petsitter. Mia has watched my two cats, Gus and Violet, in the past and I’ve always felt as ease with them in her care. Mia has a loving heart for animals and I know she also has experience with dogs as well. She is communicative, kind and flexible. I highly recommend booking Mia for your pets and I will definitely be using her again in the future”

“Ashley was an amazing dog sitter and I can't wait to give her a call again in the future. It was so sweet that she made a photo collage of our doggie! 5 stars for Ashley!”

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.

“Katie was amazing and took great care of Enzo. It was great to receive happy pictures of our pup enjoying his time with our sitter. Will book again!”

“Khamrie did an amazing job looking after our golden retriever Rex while we were away for a week! She came to the house everyday to make sure he was fed, walked and gave him some playtime and she even offered to bathe him which we loved. Rex absolutely adores Khamrie now and we will definitely have her back for our next vacay :)”

“Wonderful care!”

“Having someone visit and feed the cat daily was a relief for us. Even though the cat didn’t make an appearance every day the food disappeared so we knew he was there. Just a bit shy and hid on Sheriane most days. This was much less stressful on Charcoal than going to a kennel. Sheriane checked in and kept us updated. 100% would use Rover and Sheriane again. Thank you”

“Reliable and great with my puppy. Loved all the pictures. Thank you Dylan!”

“Stacie did a great job taking care of my boy! The communication was wonderful. I loved receiving pictures as she stopped in for visits. I'll definitely be having her pup sit again whenever needed.”

“My husband is an animal whisperer! He is so gentle and loving even with the wild ones. Dogs cats snakes spiders they always prefer him over other humans. 😁🫶”

“Julie has pet sitted and house sitted for me for two years now and has always been reliable, flexible, thoughtful, and respectful to my pets and my house. Would absolutely recommend her!”
