Pet Sitting in Colfax Spring

“Tyler’s drop in visit worked great. She is very kind and professional. She took the time to do a pre-visit which I was very grateful. Her communications (photos, text and written note) were thoughtful and caring. I will certainly ask for her help again.”

About: I have always had the responsibility of caring for my own animals, but I love getting to help other people care for their pets. I love meeting new animals and have lots of experience in this area. I have been walking dogs around my neighborhood since I was about 10 years old. I loved this experience which is why I have decided to dedicate myself to this line of work so I can always be available to help an animal in need. Currently I work an evening shift at a restaurant 4 nights a week so I have the day open before 5 pm Friday through Monday and Tuesday Wednesday Thursday I am completely available. My schedule also will be opening up more soon. I have a very large area for dogs to run around and two very friendly dogs of my own. I always start by making sure the space is free of any hazards, like toxic plants or loose wires and that they have a cozy spot just for them. Building trust is key, so I take things slow, using positive reinforcement like treats and praise to create a bond. Whether it's playtime or just chilling, I'm all about keeping their routine consistent to minimize stress.

“Jef was great with my little senior citizen who has separation anxiety and maybe a little bit of doggy dementia. While I was gone for the evening Jef kept her calm and provided an update letting me know my pup was doing well. He was also very responsive to my last minute scheduling request. I will rebook with Jef for the next time I need a drop in or stay.”

“Shannon is the best! She took excellent care of our two dogs. She made sure they had their exercise, socialized with them. They were 2 very happy dogs. She is very good at communicating so there are no worries while your away. Lots of pics were sent on each visit. I highly recommend her.”

About: Your dog's favorite activities and indulgences will be paramount when in my fun-loving care. Your dog will feel happy, playful, relaxed and will be like family in his/her home or home away from home. Upon meeting me at your home, my home or a neutral site, you will easily sense that I'm a genuinely good, decent man, a loving "dog person" and that I'll treat your dog with the attentive love I treat my own dog. I know from experience, that gaining a loving and reliable sitter is hard to find and provides peace-of-mind security. Your dog will enjoy his/her/their time with me and will be safe with me. Walks, exhausting activities and belly rubs INCLUDED! Text messages with video and photos of your dog and live webcam INCLUDED! Please contact me so we may schedule a meet and greet. I work full time from my home office, so your pup will enjoy lasting attention. I work a part-time gig that takes me away from home for a few hours per week. If pets are introduced into my home, I gently take lead and show the dogs how to be comfortable and adjust. If I am introduced into a pets' home, we allow a meet and greet specific to your dogs' needs. Then, we tour your home so that you may convey instructions.

“Kortney was very accommodating! She was great with our doggie, very reliable, answered all our questions, and responded promptly. She is highly recommended, and we will definitely use her services in the future.”

About: Hi!! I am Maria, 21 years young. I have experience with puppy/kitten training, senior pet care, and giving medications. I’m attentive, trustworthy, and passionate about creating a safe, loving environment for pets! I am currently on summer break from university so I decided to spend this free time with animals since I adore them. I will sadly only be doing this for the month of July and the first week of August. I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, whether being my brothers dogs or dog/cat sitting for friends. I currently have 3, 8 week old kittens, 2 males and 1 female, which I love!! I will follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, play, and medications as needed. I create a calm, clean, and safe environment in your home. I will make sure to keep your home tidy and your fur baby happy!

About: Hi! My partner and I are 30 years old. I’m a ER physician and my partner is a firefighter. We have an old pup at home and surprisingly have enough time after work to take care of your baby. I went to a veterinary school to complete my masters and spend a significant time with dogs, cats, alpacas, donkeys, etc. Why I am starting this is because I love to stay active, especially with my dog. I have a rescue dog that is very timid, and randomly gets scared and tries to flee the situation. I have a good deal of experience with timid rescue dogs and now I know when to be patient and wait them out. Depending on your dogs active level, I will walk, hike, or run with you pup. The more activity, the better for me! Our schedules greatly vary due to the nature of our work. But currently we have lots off this summer and can give your fluff all the attention they need. We have a fenced yard and I have an older pup to keep your baby company. Also would be willing to watch the fluff in a crate if needed, they would never be left home alone.

About: I know how hard it can be to leave your babies at home and not be there with them. I'm here to ease your mind when it comes to leaving them alone. I love dogs and I want to make sure they are safe an comfortable. For those who are gunna be my little house guests for however long you're gone, they will have ample room to play. If you need me to walk or check in on your dogos, I'm happy to help and make sure they are happy while you're gone. Please let me know what I can do to make you the most comfortable knowing I'm taking care of your pet! Thank you so much:) I'm working remotely and a full time student. I will make it a priority to take great care of your pups. I am available for checking in on them or staying at your house for you. I can crate when I'm out of the house if that puts your mind at ease. But I can be there most of the day for your pups.

“Rebekah was great with my 120 lb Corso. She took lots of pictures every visit which made me feel good about her care for my big guy. She was very punctual and dependable. She was respectful of my home and very professional. I will definitely hire here again.”

“Shawna took care of our cats for 10 days, visiting each day to feed them, play with them, and refresh the kitty litter. Shawna was very communicative and responsive. And she even bonded with our shyest cat. We’d hire Shawna again!”

“Angie was attentive to details and very friendly. Even our shy cat came out of hiding and let Angie pet her!”

About: I have been caring for pets as long as I can remember. My family always had family dogs and cats when I was growing up in addition to the occasional turtle, bird, and fish. I’m very comfortable with any animal you may own with four legs and have experience in providing care for special needs dogs including giving medication as needed. I currently have two cats and two rabbits of my own so I know how important it is that your pets get the proper care and attention. Currently I am in my off season waiting for the fire season to start back up in June. Luckily for you that means that I am available every day of the week, excluding a few hours on Sundays for church but I can happily still make sure your pets aren’t alone for the rest of the day. I have my phone with myself more often than not so please reach out anytime. Whatever your preferences are for your pets I am happy to accommodate! I am very active and love to play with animals that like to play or chill with those that are more laid back. Your pets are important to you and I pride myself on being someone that you can be confident and comfortable with having your pets in good hands.

“Kinney is my go-to support for watching Miss Emmie. She sends photos and updates, helping me feel more connected when I’m away. I definitely recommend her.”

“Donica was wonderful and we will certainly be going to her for future dog help!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid. I currently have a 3 year old beagle named Stan who loves to be outside. I have had several dogs with different energy levels - from a crazy Jack Russell to a super sweet golden retriever. I am very patient and most of my dogs have been rescues. Stan came from an animal testing facility & had never been outside or touched grass when I rescued him. I work remotely from home with a really flexible schedule. I live on 3 acres with my beagle, Stan. I’m very active & love to hike. Stan loves other friendly dogs and would be a great buddy for your dog. We love to snuggle up and takes lots of walks. I do have a crate here at my house if that is needed.

“Ericka was amazing! She was wonderful with our dog and had such great communication. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her.”

About: Hello! I am 25 years old and I am a huge animal lover and would love to get to know your pets. I am based in Tuolumne near Sonora, CA. I’m extremely active in my day to day so daily exercise will be a guarantee. If allowed, I would love to take your pet on local walks or runs. I’ve had experiences with animals almost my whole life and I have a dog of my own. My dog, Riley, is a 7 year old German Shepherd/Border Collie mix. He goes to Grandma’s when I am housesitting! I grew up taking care of animals and riding horses. I’ve watched hamsters, guinea pigs, dogs, goats, sheep, and horses for friends while they were away. There’s no animal I wouldn’t love! I work part-time so I’m very flexible and can be available for multiple check ins throughout the day. I will make sure your pet gets lots of love just like my own pupper <3 I am very flexible for whatever schedule your pets need and have a very active lifestyle. I would spend as much time as possible with your pet as I am used to having my pup by my side all the time. I treat your pet as if they were my own with lots of love and attention. I would care for your pet exactly as you would like. I’m very responsible and clean.
