Pet Sitting Crossroads

“Christopher was an excellent sitter for my cat Chewie! It was wonderful how close we live to each other and I was very happy to let Christopher work from my home when he wanted to so Chewie got more “people time”. When I came home everything was in excellent order and clean! Chewie was also very happy ❤️❤️”

About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know each pet and provide personalized care. Whether your dog loves long walks, energetic playtime, or quiet companionship, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping you updated with regular photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable and attentive care. I make time for timely check-ins, walks, play sessions, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and plenty of affection throughout the day. I prioritize consistency so pets can stick to their normal routine, helping them feel comfortable and reducing stress while their family is away. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and daily routines. I pay close attention during walks, use secure leashes and harnesses, and make sure pets are always in a safe environment. In your home, I respect your space and keep everything clean and organized. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through reliable communication, patience, and compassionate care. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels secure, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.

“Veronika was great with my 6 month old pup! She was on time, sent updates and was super quick to respond to messages. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I work from home 4/5 days a week and have full availability for house sitting, multiple daily drop ins/walks. I have experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats, and I have personal experience taking care of cats, birds, fish and bunnies. I'm also a huge plant enthusiast (I currently have ~50 houseplants)! I would be happy to water or maintain your plants while you were away as well if you'd like. I currently have a sassy little 5 year old black cat at home and she's the love of my life! I know how important it is to have confidence that your pets will be cared for when you're gone, and I can assure you I'll take care of your furry friends as if they are my own! About this sitter: I work full-time as a Behavioral Health Care Manager locally in Boulder. I work from home 4/5 days a week and would have a lot of flexibility with your pet's schedule. I also am available for house sitting for extended periods of time since I can work from wherever. When I am not working, I love spending time outdoors, practicing yoga, watching movies, hiking, reading, gardening, taking care of my plants, hanging out with Bella, and cooking. I love dogs, but have never owned one of my own due to it not being feasible in past living situations. I have dog/cat sat for many of my friends in both my home and theirs. I do not have any breed preferences, but do not feel comfortable with very large dogs. I would like to know if your pet is up to date on vaccinations, flea and tick preventative, and heartworm preventative. I would like to know if your pet has any medical issues that I would need to attend to, medications that they take, or if they have any special routines/behaviors that I should look out for. I would be able to spend time with your pet before work in the morning, throughout the day and during the evenings. I am usually home most weekends as well. Meet my pets I have one cat, a 5-year old void named Bella. She adopted me back in December from the Longmont Humane Society. It took her awhile to warm up, but she has settled in to life with me, and loves to play, "hunt" birds, nap and she fetches too! :) I work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. I am available to house sit for extended periods of time due to flexible work from home schedule. I would be available for multiple daily check ins if necessary (up to three/day). When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I treat their space and routines with the same respect and care I would give my own. I take time to learn each pet’s unique needs, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions from their family. My aim is to create a calm, comfortable environment so pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. I am organized and keep a clean environment, which I would extend to your home as well. I am happy to send regular updates/photos and keep the communication open with owners during their time away so that they are confident that their pet is being well taken care of.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of dogs and cats, from playful puppies to shy and reactive pets. I’ve done everything from daily drop-ins to long-term house sitting and boarding in my home, so I’m confident handling different routines, temperaments, and care needs. I focus on creating a calm, reliable environment where pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their people are away. My goal is always to keep your pet’s schedule consistent and make their time with me feel like a second home. “I’m a full-time student, but pet care fits naturally into my routine. I can provide overnight care, morning walks, and check-ins throughout the day between classes. I’m home most days after 4 pm, so pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and consistency. On weekends, I am home full-time, lots of time for playing, naps, and going out on adventures if that fits into your pet's lifestyle! In my apartment, your pet can be crated or free-roam based on their needs. I live in an apartment and there are no other animals. All outdoor time is always on-leash and closely supervised, your pet and I can play at the park across the street, with lots of grass! My goal is to create a calm, comfortable space where your pet feels secure and cared for.

“Lynn has consistently been fantastic in caring for our cats. She’s reliable and provides great pics & updates. We know our cats love when they see Lynn walk through the door to check-in, feed, and play with them. Thank you, as always!”

About: I have volunteered at shelters for a long time and I am both a dog and cat lover! I have a dog and cat and absolutely adore them. I have worked with cats taking care of them, and dogs walking them and cleaning up after them. I am a full time student but my schedule does leave time for me to be able to watch pets. I am pretty open for scheduling as well. I am the primary care taker of my dog, meaning I usually feed her and take her for walks along with playing with her. My cats I usually am the one to play with and snuggle.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have helped care for them from when they were puppies through adulthood. Over the years, I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding, playtime, training reinforcement, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. I’ve also helped care for dogs belonging to family members, which has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Growing up with dogs has taught me how important patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality is when caring for them. I’m currently a graduate student doing research, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate walks throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so fitting dog walks into my daily routine comes naturally. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, regular exercise, or some extra attention during the day, I’ll work to provide reliable and consistent care. When caring for pets, my priority is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand every dog has different personalities, energy levels, and routines, so I try to adapt to what works best for them. Whether in your home or out on walks, I focus on keeping pets safe, giving them plenty of attention, and following any instructions or routines you provide to ensure consistency and trust.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10! My friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to take care of their pets while they were out of town. I also have a dog myself! I am currently a student with only two classes a day, so I have plenty of time to hang out with and walk your pets. I live in an apartment that has grass and open areas right outside my door. There is also a dog park only one minute away

“Nina was great! She accepted my booking last minute as my original pet sitter fell through 4 days before I left. She was very professional, sent me pictures of my cat during each visit and my cat loved her! Highly recommend!”

“Brenna was the best dog sitter EVER!! We had never used Rover before and were so happy with how Brenna communicated with us during our time away. Loved getting regular pictures and updates and definitely want to hire her again!!! 100% awesome”

About: I’ve had 1-2 dogs at a time in my house growing up and lived with a cat for a year. I’ve taken care of lots of animals from house pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, etc) to farm animals like chickens. I love all animals big and small, old and young. I’m currently a college student at CU Boulder but most of my classes are spread out and start later in the day. This will give me time to let your animals potty and time for me to hang out with them! My home is an apartment, so I don’t have much room for a large dog. If needed though a cat would be fine and a small dog as well!
