Cat Sitting Conifer

“Kara did a great job with the kitties. I'm very grateful.”

About: I've been a devoted dog lover since childhood when my mom would take in strays and rescues from the streets. I helped groom, train, love, and care for these sweet souls. Today, I work as a part-time substitute school teacher but find that I need more four footed companionship and outside time in my life, so I'd love to be your go to dog walker on my days off. I've always helped my friends and neighbors with their dogs (walking or pet sitting), and I'm good big dogs and little dogs. With 20+ years of teaching experience, you know that I have oodles of patience and consistency to rely on, and lots of caring and affection to give. Please let me help you give your pets the care and attention that they need when you're at work or on vacation! I'm working part time as a substitute teacher--this means that I generally work 3 days a week, and am often home by 3:30. I have afternoons available for longer walks and play-time. I am not able to board dogs in my own home, but in your home I can make sure that your dog or cat has the kind of love and care that they are used to whether they are an inside dog or outside. Walking is one of my favorite activities so I'm there to make sure that you're dog and myself are getting the exercise we need!

“Excellent cat sitter! She did an excellent job taking care of my cat and was very attentive and reliable. She also left my home clean, tidy, and well organized, which I really appreciated. I felt very comfortable knowing everything was taken care of while I was away. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her care for my cat again!”

“Awesome team! They took care of our pup last minute and we're very communicative! I will be using them in the future! Thanks Mitch and Kati! We appreciate you!”

“It was easy to setup care for Meow with Danielle. She was also very easy to talk to and made sure Meow was well taken care of while we were away. She kept us updated and reached out if she had any questions. Thank you, Danielle!”

About: Your dog gets a half-acre fenced yard on two acres, and a gate that opens straight onto open space and trail. No loading up in a car to find a walk, we step out the door and go. For a big dog with a real engine, that’s the whole difference. I have two labs of my own, a male and a female, both social and easy, so your dog has company and a pack to fall into rather than a crate and a quiet house. I’ve been boarding for friends and neighbors for 10, and I know what a bored 70-pound dog does to a living room, which is why exercise comes first here, not as a bonus. Good fit for: large breeds, working and sporting dogs, adolescents with too much energy, dogs who don’t do well kenneled. Not a good fit for: dogs who can’t be around other dogs, or who need to be kept separate. I’d rather say that up front than have anyone spend a bad weekend. I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits for locals who’d rather keep their dog at home. Same approach, a walk here means actual miles on real terrain, not fifteen minutes on pavement. Daily photos and a note, usually from somewhere on the trail. I work from home, so dogs aren’t alone for long stretches, I’m here through the day and the routine is built around that. Mornings start with a walk on the trail behind the house before I sit down to work. I leave the doors open so that dogs are able to go in and out of the fenced yard through the day while I’m at my desk, with a midday break for a longer outing. Late afternoon is the real hike, when my two labs go out and your dog goes with them. Evenings are quiet, everyone’s tired by then, which is the point. I do take calls during the day, so there are stretches where I’m at my desk rather than actively playing, but the dogs are with me, not shut away. Weekends are more of the same with longer hikes and no calls Containment: My yard is a half-acre fully fenced, on two acres backing to open space. Gates stay latched and I check them before any dog goes out. Dogs are never off-leash on the open space unless the owner has confirmed reliable recall and I’ve seen it myself on a long line first, otherwise we hike on leash, every time. In the house: Dogs are loose in the main living area with me and my two labs, not confined to a garage or basement. I have crates available if your dog is crate-trained or you’d prefer it, and I’m happy to keep whatever routine they already have. New dogs and mine are introduced outside on neutral ground before anyone comes in the house. Requirements: Up to date on rabies, distemper/parvo, and bordetella. I ask for your vet’s contact and a backup person who can make decisions if I can’t reach you. Wildlife: We’re in the foothills, so coyotes, bears, and mountain lions are part of the landscape. Dogs go out into the fenced yard supervised, not unattended, and I don’t leave food or water bowls outside. Nobody is out in the yard alone at dawn or dusk. If something goes wrong: I’ll call you first, but I won’t wait on a callback to get a dog treated. My work is in wildfire and emergency planning, so I keep an evacuation plan for my own dogs including crates, leashes, records, and a go-bag ready and any boarding dog is included in it if there is an emergency.

“This was our first drop in visit using Rover and Samuel and it couldn’t have gone smoother. Samuel has been excellent to work with. Punctual, responds quickly, trustworthy. And my animals just love him, including my cat who he was able to get a pet out of, which never happens. Will be using Samuel from here on out.”

“Tenja was great! She checked in regularly, so we were confident that our kitties were being well taken care of. She stayed over and took great care of the house as well. We came home to a spotless kitchen and all the dishes were washed. What a treat! We hope Tenja will be available next time we need to go out of town without our kitties.”

“We have 5 animals; 2 dogs”

“Amy is great! She is reliable and excellent at communicating. She always sends me pictures of my dog when she visits and lets me know how she’s doing. I’m so glad I found her to check in on my girl while I’m at work.”

Mandy B.

“Patricia took such great care of my rabbit, Simon! I loved that as soon as I contacted her, she made plans to meet me and Simon before I left for my trip. I left feeling at ease that Simon had a great sitter taking care of him. She is very communicative and caring!”

Audrey C.

“Sterling was great - we would definitely book her again! She was very communicative and great with the cats - she even got our shy kitty to come play on all of her visits.”

Robin G.

“Great service flexible and was able to help us short-notice.”

About: I live in the Evergreen area and work in Golden, and I spend a lot of time outside running and hiking, so I’m a great match for dogs who have some energy and need more than just a quick walk. I’m super reliable, easygoing, and I pay attention to the little things, whether that’s sticking to your dog’s routine or just making sure they feel comfortable while you’re gone. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and getting them outside, so it never feels like a chore. Happy to help with walks, drop-ins, or sitting, whatever you need! I live in Evergreen and work at a running store in Golden during the week (and some weekends), but I have a flexible schedule and am available at different times throughout the day. I can usually make mornings, afternoons, or evenings work depending on what you need. I try to keep things as close to your dog’s normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I pay attention to feeding, walks, and any specific instructions you give. I’m very mindful on walks and always prioritize safety. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and consistent. I also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands.

“I couldn't have felt more comfortable having Amber take care of my fur babies. She was amazing, communicative, flexible, and the dogs were smiling in early pic with pure joy. Highly recommend.”

About: I have cared for others’ pets and homes for four years now and hope to do the same for you! I grew up with many animals around and loved them since I was little. I have trained my own dogs and even had a service dog of my own. Pets are my passion! I am available for all services until the end of October when I finish school! I am available all days of the week for drop ins, walks, and house sitting! I am happy to care for my clients pets however they would like me to. Feeding times, walk times, play times are all up to you!

About: I'm the proud owner of Layla, my 6-year-old Great Pyrenees, so I know big breeds well. I've cared for dogs from family and friends — from playful puppies to gentle seniors — and I understand that every dog is different, with their own needs and personality. I love giving each pup safe, attentive, and affectionate care. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I'm able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care throughout the day. Pet care isn't something I have to squeeze in around other commitments — it's a priority I can build my day around, whether that's regular walks, sticking to feeding and potty schedules, or just spending quality time with a dog so they're never left alone too long. My availability means I can be reliable and consistent for both walks and in-home sitting. When caring for your dog in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow the feeding, walking, and potty schedule you set, and make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. Every dog is different, so I keep a close eye on their behavior and needs and always put their comfort and safety first. On walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, stick to familiar routes, and adjust the pace and distance to fit their age, energy level, and breed. I'll also send updates and photos so you can relax while you're away.

“Katrina went above and beyond for my animal family! I had to take my kitty into the vet before leaving town and Katrina picked her up from the vet and made sure she was very well cared for the entire time I was gone. She also gave extra love and care to my senior dog and big dog who demands constant affection :) I will be booking her again! So glad we found her on here!”

“Halle was super communicative and easy to work with. She gave lots of love and pets and made sure they were happy kitties.”
