“Evan spent the day with our nervous girl while we went to an all-date event. We came home to her being calm and much more relaxed than when we have to leave her at home alone. Evan is a kind caregiver and has a calm energy that I’m sure helps our little girl feel comfortable. We look forward to Evan staying with us for our trip in June.”

“Savannah took great care of my dogs for the week, and responded very quickly any time I reached out. She sent updates daily and my dogs loved spending the week with her!”

“I sincerely appreciate your help.I feel very fortunate. The sense of well-being I feel is comforting. Seeing kenji so calm is a great satisfaction. I truly value your care for Kenji . Thank you for everything.”


“Angela is an outstanding & I HIGHLY recommend her! She cared for my Chihuahua, Bodhi, as if he were her own, taking the time to learn his routines and provide him with plenty of love and attention. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated with photos and messages, giving me complete peace of mind. Angela exceeded every expectation, and I recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter who truly treats your pet like family.”

“Mia is amazing! She sent daily updates and photos while we were on vacation, she was super flexible when last minute life things popped up, she was amazingly patient and respectful of my in-laws that live in our downstairs apartment, and I would 100% hire her again!!”

“Marci was absolutely awesome! She sent plenty of pictures and updates. She really takes the time to learn your pup to accommodate all needs as best a she can. That’s something you don’t really see on here anymore so we really appreciated that over here. She even brought a few new toys, seriously such a great sitter to have worked with!”

“I loved working with Bonnie. Her updates were frequent and thorough, and she delivered all the care and attention my boy needed during a weekend away. My home was in a very good state when I returned. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for animals and have always been passionate about providing pets with a safe, loving, and active environment. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means going on walks, keeping up with feeding schedules, administering basic care, or simply giving them companionship and attention while their owners are away. My background in dance and fitness has made me very energetic and disciplined, so I enjoy staying active with pets and making sure they get plenty of exercise and engagement. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets at once and helping pets feel calm and comfortable in new environments. I treat every pet like they are my own and prioritize making both pets and owners feel confident and at ease. I currently have a flexible and open schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet’s needs, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, and companionship throughout the day. I’m dependable, organized, and able to adapt to different routines, whether a pet needs frequent attention, exercise, or a calm and consistent environment. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they receive lots of supervision, affection, and attention throughout the day. I make sure pets have a comfortable space to relax, opportunities for activity and play, and individualized care based on their personality and needs. I also have a fenced yard!
“Morgan always does such a wonderful job with my two dogs and ferret. She sends so many cute pictures and they love spending time with her. Would definitely recommend!”

“Mack was great with our two younger cats! She stayed with them and made the feel safe and comfortable with plenty of cuddles and toys. She send detailed updates with photos while she was caring for them and I came home to some happy cats! I will definitely use Mack again in the future!”

“Vanessa was the perfect sitter for my senior dog. She followed all of the instructions I left for her and went above and beyond to care for her. She left my house in great shape and communicated every day with detailed reports and photos. I would not hesitate to book her again.”


About: Caring for animals is second nature to me, I first began when I was 8 years old, helping my church members at their farms, which turned into me helping my babysitter with pet sitting when she would watch me. As I’ve grown I’ve come to follow her path and have been caring for my friends, family, and neighbors animals and I love every second of it! I’ve always LOVED to be outdoors and I’ve always LOVED to be around animals (sometimes more than being around people lol). What makes me unique in my animal care is my experience with ALL animal types!! As a Animal Science student with a pre-veterinary focus I’ve had years of experience working with all animal types in many different environments, from working with sheep, goats, poultry, and dairy cattle to years of work in veterinary clinics, so your pets are in good and capable hands! I am currently training to be a veterinary technician and have a strong background in animal behavior, feeding, administering medications, bathing, handling, and general veterinary care for cats, dogs, and rabbits. My strengths are in cats and dogs, farm animals, wildlife, and small friends such as mice, rats, and Guinea Pigs; and I am always willing to learn something new to best accommodate the needs for you, your home, and your animals. A fun fact about me is that I was recently Wildlife First Aid Certified at Colorado State University, and that I just genuinely love animals. My method is to treat every pet as if they were my own, which helps me to ensure that ALL ANIMALS receive the highest level of care, attention, and affection while their owners are away. Please feel free to reach out with any and all questions! Pet care fits into my daily routine via my current work in local Veterinary Clinics as well as my area of study as an undergraduate Animal Science Student. My educational background has allowed me to handle animals of all breedings while my vocational experience has sharpened my communication skills when it comes to quality pet care. For my dogs at home care I keep them on a structured routine of waking up at 7am, outside time, food and water, resting, a second outside time by 8am, washing their bowls & refilling their water, and when I leave for work I give them an enrichment toy to keep them occupied (especially my youngest dog). When I get home from work I let my girls back outside, check to make sure none of my stuffed animals have been shredded by the younger baby, feed them a small dinner, and I start getting them ready for bed, at 9pm they get in their beds have a snack, watch TV with me and go to sleep. When I am pet sitting for friends, family, & neighbors I feed and walk their pets at the provided scheduled time and I also make a point to spend at least 5-10 minutes playing with them and getting them some interaction for the day, as I’m sure they miss their family. My goal is to ensure the safety and wellbeing of fur babies, reptile friends, farm family members, and bird companions when their primary family needs someone to care for them.
“It was a pleasure to have Kennedy take care of our pups! She took care of our 2 labs and our mother’s frenchie for a long weekend and had absolutely no problems doing so. Communication was easy and updates prompt. We definitely recommend her.”

“Karina was FANTASTIC! She came to the rescue very last minute and I couldn’t be more thankful for her. HIGHLY recommended! Will definitely rebook next time we are in town!”

About: Having grown up in a home that was always filled with animals, I've essentially been a lifelong pet caregiver! As a current pet parent to my own dog and cat, I understand the joys and responsibilities of pet ownership firsthand. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, from little puppies to senior sweethearts. Beyond everyday cuddles and care, I also have experience working with reactive, behaviorally challenged, and hyperactive dogs, and I'm comfortable providing the extra patience and understanding they may need. Although my schedule can sometimes depend week to week, I’m am currently working part time so most of my days and night during the week are free for your furry companions!! Whether caring for your beloved pets in my home or visiting them in yours, my approach is always centered on their individual needs, safety, and happiness. In Your Home: For drop-in visits and house sitting, I prioritize maintaining your pet's routine and ensuring they feel secure and loved in their familiar environment. This includes: -Following their established feeding schedule: Ensuring they receive the correct amount and type of food at their usual times. -Providing fresh water at all times. -Administering any necessary medications according to your detailed instructions. -Taking them out for potty breaks as frequently as they need, and cleaning up after them meticulously. -Engaging them in playtime and providing enrichment tailored to their personality and energy levels. This could include walks, fetch, indoor games, puzzle toys, or simply cuddles and companionship. -Paying close attention to their body language and behavior, noting any signs of stress, illness, or discomfort, and communicating these observations to you promptly. -Maintaining the cleanliness of their immediate environment, such as scooping litter boxes or spot-cleaning any accidents. -Sending you regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see how your furry friend is doing and have peace of mind. I am attentive to their unique personalities and any special requirements they may have, ensuring they receive the best possible care in a safe, loving, and responsible manner.
“Mia was amazing with all my babies! She sent photos and gave them all the love that they needed! I am SO protective of my babies and Mia made it easy! I will definitely be using her again anytime we go out of town. I have a lot of animals and she absolutely nailed it. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you Mia for everything you did for all my babies!! They love you!”
