“Izzy was very attentive to my cat and went above and beyond on her visit times. She updated me often with pics and texts and made me feel secure that everything was well taken care of.”
“Robyn was great, will definitely rebook in the future. She came for an initial meet and greet, and her level of communication during the engagement was great. She followed the feeding instructions to a tee and made sure our cat had food and water served in clean dishes. She also made sure to lock up our windows and doors securely after every visit. Thank you Robyn!!”
“Whitney took care of our 2 kitties whilst we were away for a week, she kept us up to date everyday with photographs and giving them lots of pets and attention, they were very happy boys! Would absolutely recommend Whitney, such a smooth experience and incredibly reassuring throughout. Thank you so much again!”
“I am SO glad I selected Jordan to provide care for our 2 elderly cats. She came to the house twice a day, fed them, administered medication, cleaned litter boxes and even took photos! It was such a relief to know our 2 old girls were in good hands. We couldn’t have had a more responsible, friendly person assume this responsibility. Thank you Jordan!”
About: Hi there! I have a 10 year old husky shepherd mix who loves to play. I am comfortable with spirited dogs but am happy to work with quieter, more timid dogs as well. Most animals are at ease around me and I take care of your pup like I would my own! I enjoy being active with animals of all shapes and sizes, playing, and being sensitive to their needs. I am formally trained by Paw School and I work with simple methods and treat bag (taking into account any allergies you may report) to help train or maintain your dogs manners. I will be patient and respectful with your dog and your home, and like to have fun and develop a bond with the animals I meet. I look forward to working with you! I have some commitments out of the house but can take your individual pets needs into account when pet sitting to ensure they have the attention and outdoors time that they need! We have a large yard and enjoy taking long walks in the forest outside our front door. Our yard is a dog’s paradise with places to run, to look out on the world, to sunbathe, and to take cover in the shade.
“Hillary is absolutely wonderful with Sky! She came an extra day to see Sky when he wasn’t feeling well and I was so far away and worried about him. She is a very good caregiver . She is experienced and knowledgeable about my fur baby and very dependable. I highly recommend!”
“I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter! This is the second time Josie watched my kitties. Josie is so attentive and clearly loves my cats. They get tons of attention, and it’s obvious she understands their little quirks and personalities. She keeps me updated with cute pictures and a detailed report card every day, and honestly, she takes the best photos—I look forward to them! She’s also super reliable and easy to communicate with, so I never have to wonder how things are going. I know I will come home to happy, relaxed cats, which means the world to me. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter!”
“Dylan was wonderful. He was always on time for his check in’s and my kitty loved him. Dylan took the time to give Simba affection and played with him a ton. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and am currently a puppy raiser for Guide Dogs for the Blind so haven’t been dog sitting much lately. I love all animals and making new furry friends. I have 10 years experience dog sitting dogs that aren’t my own. I am outside everyday and can take your dog on runs, hikes, walks or play frisbee! I have experience house breaking rescue dogs and teaching them dog tricks. I also work close by and have the flexibility to go home during the day. Feel free to reach out with any questions via email or phone. I work on Pearl st and am very flexible. I can do drop in visits house sitting and I can board one dog at a time for a short period of time I love to play frisbee with dogs, go on runs or walks. I usually spend a good chunk of my day outside and would love to bring your pet along!
“Booked Derek last minute to watch my cat Cudi and he was awesome! Plenty of photo/video updates throughout my time away and he followed my instructions perfectly. Would absolutely recommend him to everyone!”
About: I live in Silver Plume and work from home full time with some occasional travel here or there (just depends). There is a lot of flexibility in my job when I’m at home and I wanted to offer to anyone who has dogs, cats, or any other pets my services. I am available for pet sitting and/or house sitting—whether it’s quick drop-ins for your dog, cat during the day or overnight stays while you’re out of town. I’ve got experience with both and can be flexible depending on what you need. I’m happy to follow any specific routines or instructions. If you’re looking for someone dependable and easy to work with, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to chat or answer any questions about myself! Best Regards, Alec I work full time on call M-F from 8:00-4:30 but I have flexibility to do other tasks during the day like to walk or let a dog out, administer medication etc. I make sure to get my work done everyday along with my other tasks at hand It varies by the pet and how much attention or exercise they are needing. If you have an animal that needs to burn off energy, I will do my best to do so wether it’s a hike, playing fetch or something else! If you have a low energy animal that wants to sit on the couch and sleep, that’s completely fine as well. I enjoy giving animals love and attention! I will make sure to follow proper feeding and medication schedules as needed I will treat your pet exactly how I would want mine to be treated and that is with love and respect ❤️
About: About Me Hi, I’m Tiffany! I’ve worked in nearly every corner of animal care and training throughout my life—from ranch work to obedience, to post-surgical care and behavioral support & training. I pride myself on being attuned to the unique needs of both pets and their people. There’s not much I haven’t seen, so you can feel confident communicating any unique needs . ❤️ What I Offer: In-home pet sitting Basic obedience tune-ups Daily exercise (walks, runs, fetch, enrichment) Booking Note for Colorado Guests: I'm currently living full time in Denver Colorado! A Quick Favor Before We Start: Please be upfront about any behavioral issues or quirks your pet may have (e.g. bolting, jumping, chewing). Also let me know your house rules—whether it's no pets on the bed or keeping them out of the kitchen—I’ll do my best to reinforce your daily structure while you’re away. A Few Important Notes: I’m self-employed, so my schedule is flexible—but I never take on bookings I can’t fully commit to. To make sure everything goes smoothly, please let me know in advance about any additional responsibilities like plant care, timed medications, or other specific tasks that need to be done during my stay. These should be discussed during the booking process so I can plan accordingly. I’d love the chance to get to know your home and your pets before the stay—feel free to reach out to schedule a no-pressure meet & greet! Meet & Greets I offer a meet & greet for all new clients to make sure I’m the right fit for you, your pet, and your home. This time helps me get acclimated with your space and allows your pet to feel more at ease when the stay begins. I introduce dogs with an abundance of caution and always with dog psychology in mind to ensure a calm, safe, and respectful transition. Dog Walking My dog walks are never just a walk—they’re mini training sessions. I’m always reinforcing good behavior and working on basic skills. If your dog does well in public or needs to start that safe slow exposure, I’m happy to include park time, socialization, or light training like leash manners and car behavior. Just let me know what you’d like your pup to learn or practice—especially if you don’t have time to train it yourself—and I’ll let you know what’s realistic based on your dog’s breed, temperament, and trainability. I won’t waste your time or money trying to train a dog to do something it wasn’t built for or a job they don't want, it’s like asking a fish to climb a tree. I also offer hourly dog training for real-world situations like paddleboarding, biking, store manners, and other types of environmental training. Whether it’s making friends at the park, building confidence, or learning how to navigate the world, I tailor the time to your dog’s needs and your goals. I've worked with animals most of my life—including training horses and riding lessons for all types of individuals and needs. I bring the same patient, observant approach to every dog I work with.
About: I have been around dogs since the day I was born. Always living with at least two in my house. Most have been rescues but I have had the opportunity to train some from 8 weeks old. I watch both of my best friends dogs when they go out of town usually for a couple of nights. I love dogs with all my heart. I always walk and care for them no matter whose they are. I’m currently spending time back home and have lots of extra time to help take care of your pets. I’m available most days to either walk, or house sit depending on your needs. I love animals and can help for single to multiple days. I have three dogs that all get along well with other dogs. If you needed me to take care of your pets at my house I have plenty of space and activities. Behind my house is a soccer field as well as a trail up to mesa cortina. Fetch and hikes will be a definite.
“Kimberly is very attentive and responsive. She was willing to meet me beforehand on short notice. She is very thorough in her stays and makes sure to keep you up to date even when the app is lagging. She is super friendly and you can tell she really enjoys meeting new pets! I would definitely rebook with Kimberly!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles. As someone with pets, I know it’s important for them to feel loved and safe even when you’re gone; it’s also important for you to know they’re safe and well cared for. I’m a responsible, organized, and flexible pet sitter that is always happy to adjust pricing or hours, so please feel free to reach out with questions prior to booking. I currently work full time and have a cat, so I am sadly unable to host your pet in my home. My work schedule is flexible and I am available for limited overnight stays. I frequently travel through the i70 corridor so am able to be flexible on location and hours. Weekend work is preferable but weekdays are always open for business as well:) I am unable to care for pets in my home, as my cat is king of the castle and does not accept any intruders in his kingdom. When caring for your pet in your home, I aim to stick to their routine as much as possible and am happy to accommodate the majority of requests.
