“This is my second time booking Melissa and I can’t say enough good things! My furballs LOVE her! I’ve never seen my mini-Aussie (my elderly velcro-dog) as calm when I come home from a trip and I think my cat would have preferred I stay away a bit longer this time so he had more time with Melissa by the way he rolled his eyes at me when I walked in the door 😆. Great consistent communication and clearly goes above and beyond. Melissa is awesome and I hope my furboys were well behaved enough that she’ll come stay with them again 💜”
“Excellent excellent excellent. Anthony went above and beyond taking care of our dog, our plants, and our home. He truly cares, and our pup had great adventures with Anthony.”
“Nina was fantastic! My pup Lena is a shy girl and takes a while to warm up to most people, but she seemed to immediately adore Nina. I received tons of photos each day of all the fun activities they got into, and Lena was happy and content in each one. 5 stars for sure :)”
“Griffin took amazing care of our dog, Ellie. He was incredibly communicative, sent many updates on her, and kept her happy and occupied for several hours. We would definitely book with him again!”
“Avery did a fantastic job taking care of our cat, Hobbes! She gave him lots of playtime and attention, which we really appreciated while we were away. She also kept us updated with tons of cute photos, which helped us feel totally at ease. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty. Highly recommend Avery!”
“Stephanie is so good with my dog and always leaves my house spotless. She is wonderful. I know my pup is in good hands and I trust her completely in my home!”
“Brenna was once again wonderful with Koshka and Quito! She was great to communicate with and sent us pictures every day. We came back from our trip to happy, healthy kitties! We highly recommend her.”
“Jennie took great care of our high-energy, sometimes-prone-to-drama pup, and our very senior (21-year-old) cat. She went above and beyond for us, picking up our farm share (even going over twice after a mis-cue on my part) and she brought in a big package when it arrived a day early. Five-star sitter for sure!”
“Marcia was amazing! Our two senior dogs were well loved and the house was pristine. Marcia was very communicative and flexible. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Matthew did a great job taking care of our older dog for several days. We had to leave town right after she tore her ACL, and he was great about following lots of instructions for her care and giving us frequent updates and pictures!”
“Zach did such an amazing job caring for our two dogs. Even with all of the other positive reviews we had seen, he still exceeded expectations. Zach sent photos and communicaiton daily - and had lots of patience for our older dog, who is a little senile. He went above and beyond making sure that the older dog actually ate and both dogs had tons of exercise and attention while we were gone. We would use Zach as a house and dogsittter again in a heartbeat.”
“Christian was a life saver when I had a big trip and my previous dog sitter had an emergency that left me scrambling for last minute coverage. He made an unexpected turn of events so much less stressful, managed to squeeze in time to meet my dog beforehand despite his own busy schedule, was incredibly thorough with his questions about her care, and provided daily photos and updates. I felt so reassured and at ease knowing he was caring for her while I was away. I truly can’t say enough good things about him, and would absolutely use him again and highly recommend his services!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember! I had my own dog for 14 years so I understand the patience and attention pets need through each stage of their life. This reaches from a playful puppy to gentle senior care. I have also pet sat for numerous families, making sure each pet has felt safe and comfortable! I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule. I’m available for dog walks early mornings and after 5 p.m. on weekdays. On weekends, I’m open in the mornings and mid-day. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making them part of my routine! As a dog walker, I make sure each walk is safe, active, and tends to the pets needs! This ranges from a slower pace for older dogs or a more active and playful walk for younger and energetic dogs! I’m careful about following any instructions that the owner provides for me!
“Madison was great and flexible and hung out with my doggo while I was gone for an afternoon/evening! Super prompt responses!”
About: I grew up around cats and dogs, and I've had my cat and my dachshund since I was 10 years old. I grew up in the middle east where I helped spay, neuter, vaccinate, and care for the many stray cats in our neighborhood. I'm a student at CU Boulder studying aerospace engineering and I am in the Navy Reserves. I love to relax and unwind around animals in my free time. I have looked after neighbors pets since I was little and I love to spend quality time and play with more energetic pets or just relax and unwind with the less social ones.
“Mary was great. She was very patient and understanding with our anxious dog. She was responsive before and during the house sitting, and we returned to a clean house. What more can you ask for.”
“Sarah did an incredible job caring for my dog and cat while my husband and I were out of town for 6 nights. She stayed at the house and left the place in broom-clean condition, which we greatly appreciated! Most importantly, the pets were happy and well adjusted under her care, and she sent several updates over the course of the week. I would happily book Sarah again and highly recommend her to other dog and cat owners 😊”
“Emily was amazing! Our pup Maple is our pride and joy so we always get nervous leaving her, but Emily took great care of her and sent plenty of pictures and updates that felt very reassuring! She was very respectful and attentive - seemed like Maple had a great time!”
