Top rated Colfax house sitters

“Tharan was great and adapted to our somewhat changing departure time. He responded quickly to any texts and treated our pup very well. I would recommend his services to anyone in need of a house/ pet sitter.”


“Megan is just the best. We are definitely high maintenance dog owners with three dogs, each with its own "quirks" and special needs. Megan has been great each time she's cared for our pups. She is definitely our top pick for dog sitters in the area. She's always been patient, kind, reliable, communicative, and responsible. We absolutely recommend her!”


“Jessica did an amazing job caring for my dog and cat over the course of a few days. She was very communicative about how they were doing and updated me when minor mishaps had occurred. Despite my cat being a bit shy. yet needing to be given medicine orally, Jessica did a great job at establishing trust with her. Jessica was also very willing to take care of my plants and fish which was greatly appreciated. The house was clean when I came back and the animals had clearly enjoyed their time with her. I couldn’t ask for anything more, and I would definitely rebook with Jessica again!”

“Mikayla was amazing! We felt at ease having her watch our three cats. She looks lots of pictures and made sure to give updates through the whole thing. We’d definitely book with her again.”


About: I grew up with animals around the house, we have dogs cats, chickens, turtles and fish! Learning how to care for animals correctly, was an important thing in my house. I started dog walking and pet sitting in early high school, and have done it ever since! I will take amazing care of your little critters and can’t wait to meet you both! I am very open, especially in mornings and evenings, and work well off of a set routine. I will be able to fit you and your pets needs into my schedule I treat my pets and my clients pets with the same amount of love and respect as I would give my own children. I can walk dogs and feed any pets and be a companion for pets while you’re away for the day, weekend, or month!

“Crystal did an awesome job taking care of Higgs. She took the time taking him for walks, and giving him the attention he needed. Always provided timely updates and pictures of Higgs. I do recommended her for daily visits or over night stays.”


“Erica was taking care of our mini Australian shepherd, Bailey, for two weeks, living with him in our home. She did a great job. First of all, upon our return, we found Bailey healthy and happy. Secondly, Erica initiated sending daily pictures and short reports on how things were going, which we really appreciated; and thirdly, the house was in good order, and she even watered our outside plants - thank you! We will definitely use Erica’s services in the future.”


“Elena is amazing. I think our doggy, Utah was in heaven. She walked him and played with him and even took him to the river. She sent me picture and video updates 😍 I highly recommend her and will definitely check with her next time I need a sitter.”


“Ann was fantastic! She kept us informed of the day to day during her time with the animals, with regular picture updates. The animals were all well cared for, and had a great time. House was well looked after. Would absolutely recommend and plan on using her again on the future!”


About: I have experience in working with pets because my mother and I ran a rescue in Texas where she was a nurse, I am especially caring with all animals. I have access to my fathers’ farmstead of 40 acres for hosting the pets there or in the safety of my apartment I sit the pets with my roommate Michael who is always introduced to the pet parents. We ask if the pet would like a free bath and so the owners always know about his role in the pet care before hand. I can accommodate your schedule and help you out any time or on short notice. I only use the food you require or healthy foods I buy for my business I offer discount rebates for certain circumstances; after booking is paid for extended stays & frequent updates if you’d like; and most importantly a safe pet environment. Again I have Acess to my dads farm for frequent exercise or if you dog needs more space to roam For stays longer than a day I offer free supplies for the dog/animal while staying with me such as litter and food in certain circumstances and again scholarships for families with economic hardships; which means, adjustments to my rates. I can accommodate special dietary needs and feed pets just good healthy food. I am a very safety aware person & wont jeopardize your pet in any way. I have a pet proof home & again I have access to my father’s farm and we love the do park if there are nice dogs playing; if the dogs require more movement daily and not just my safe location in Moscow where there is a back yard run for the dogs at pet friendly location. Field trips do include the dog park again, but only safe walk places where the dog is leashed all the time; as long as there are no high risk animals out at dog park the dogs love it there; there and various outings to socialize the animals and a comfortable large two bedroom apartment for couch potato dog or elderly animals We also have some extra leashes & supplies for animals that need them if you forget them at home.

About: I have grown up with dogs and have petsat any and all types of animals since I was young. Now that I am a pet mom myself I know the importance of finding a trustworthy sitter for our furry friends. I do work full time but I am very flexible and can work with you on specific needs of your individual pets. Spending time and making sure the pets are taken care of is top priority. I have a dog and two cats. They are my best friends and I cannot imagine a life without them in it. My whole life is surrounded around making theirs the best if can be.

“Delaney was great! I had to reach out to her last minute and within a couple of hours he came by and met my pets. She was very communicative and sent pictures. Highly recommend using her if you have the chance.”


About: I have taken care of all breeds and sizes of dogs, trained and untrained. I currently have a working Dutch shepherd “Thirza” who I do competitive obedience and Shutzhund with. Give me a shout and let me know what you need! I work as a big game guide in the spring and fall, so my summer and winter months are totally open. All day everyday I can make whatever time/ days work. I throughly believe in a good “on” and “off” switch for dogs. Knowing when to expend energy is very valuable. If I’m doing home visits or walking your furry friend I will keep my energy very calm and maintain that good inside behavior. Until we get out then we can play, train and walk hard!

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I can remember. I’ve traveled to care for dogs here and out of the country as well. Love all sizes. I am a part-time worker and student. I am available mornings and afternoons/evening. On weekends if you possibly need sitting. I am here for you. I care for them at my apartment or at your home , whichever is more convenient and comfortable. I am a part-time student as well.

About: I feel I'm a good fit as I love to be able to spent time with pets and give them the same care I'd give my own I'm currently working full time but I can do early morning or evenings with some weekend visits you just need to contact me first but I can make accommodations I care for them like I would with any other pet with love and careful care to ensure they are safe in the home they are I.

“Amaya was amazing with our 2 pups! I always hate leaving them and get anxious because they have some separation anxiety but they were the best they’ve ever been with a sitter! She sent plenty of pics and even made sure we returned home to a spotless house. I cannot say enough good things about her!”


“Mango was really great with my dogs. I really appreciated that she is familiar with older dogs too, as my old boy has a bit of trouble getting around at times. She sent me some pictures of the dogs while I was away which was a bonus. I would definitely recommend Mango for your pet sitting needs. She’s great!”


About: I've taken care of a variety of animals for as long as I can remember, from exotics, to livestock, to dogs and cats. I currently work at a dog training facility as an administrator, and part of my job still requires experience in the managing and care of dogs of all size and temperament. My position at a dog training facility, allows me to bring my own dog in with me as well as add flexibility into my work schedule seeing as I make the employee schedule week to week. I am a highly active person, and go on walks/hike on a daily basis, and would love to bring your dog along with me. My own personal dog is also sociable with other dogs, meaning he is more than happy to keep your dog company! I am always open to setting up a meet and greet beforehand, too. I have always revolved my life around animals. My work engrains pet care into my mindset, and when I come home it's no different. I am familiar with animal behavior, as well as the basics of training. If you have any special routine you'd like to implement with your dog while you're, away I'd be more than happy to do so. My own dog is crate trained, and therefore is crated when I have to make errands away from home. I do have A/C in my household, so overheating is not a concern. I make it a point to not let dogs go without a potty break for longer than 4-8 hours at a time, max. Anytime dogs are playing together in my home, they will always be supervised :)

Claire W.
“Claire has had a deep love for animals ever since she was a child, and that compassion has only grown stronger over the years. She has hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, whether it's walking, feeding, playing, or just giving them some extra love and attention. As someone who knows Claire well (I also happen to be her father!), I can say with confidence that she’s incredibly responsible and attentive. She treats her own pets like family, and I have no doubt she would show that same care and dedication to any dog or cat she’s entrusted with. If you're looking for someone who’s trustworthy, kind, and truly enjoys being around animals, Claire is an excellent choice.”
