“Kayla took care of my babies while we were away for a few days and she did an amazing job!! I felt completely at ease while we were away. Kayla kept me updated and sent pictures. We can’t recommend her enough and we will absolutely book Kayla again!!”

“Ezzi was great. She watched our 18yo, deaf, eyeless min poodle and two bigger dogs without issue. Everyone received their meds and were well taken care of, including our home.”

“Ava did a fantastic job watching our 2 pups. She gave updates with pictures and made sure they were taken care of the entire time! She was also nice enough to deal with a last minute extension which we really appreciated.”

“Marci was so great! She took our weekend booking with less than 48 hours notice after having two other Rover sitters cancel on us. She even made sure to come out for a meet and greet. She was very friendly and learned the routines of our four dogs easily. She assured us that everything would be taken care of while we were away camping with limited cell service and she was right! Our dogs all loved her as soon as they met her! She was watching our home and dogs alongside a friend of hers and they both did fantastic. We came home to the dogs being brushed and a clean house. Marci and her friend were no doubt a gift to us. Thank you thank you thank you!”

“Ashley was amazing with my boys while we were gone on a trip! We even had some travel plans change for our way home and she was very accommodating. I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs! I will be using her again!”

“Maria is fantastic! We just moved to Colorado Springs last week and were eager to find someone we can trust and rely on to sit our pups while we are away and we found our person in Maria. 😃 She is communicative, flexible, tidy and the dogs just love her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving sitter for their pets!”

“Meghan did a fabulous job of watching our pup, Gracie! She is very knowledgeable and caring, and took great care of Gracie and the house. She communicates well and is very trustworthy. We’ll definitely hire her again! 🐾”

About: 13+ years of animal care! I have had many pets of my own growing up and currently have a dog named Ayza, so I am no stranger to animal care and I love all types of animals (I wanted to be a vet in another life). I have done lots of pet and house sitting over the years so I've also learned to make friends with animals quickly and in all different types of settings. I have trained 3 puppies and given care to 2 elderly dogs who both required special care including medications. I love fostering cats/kittens when I am able, my latest foster was a pair of kittens only weeks old who had a rough respiratory infection at the time, they are both healthy and with a loving home together now! Working on a farm with animals I learned how to manage emergency situations as they arose, things like wounds, sickness, and other aliments and have become comfortable managing any challenging situations that may arise. I work remotely and set my own hours, meaning I have plenty of time and attention to give to your pets! I can fit just about any pet care requirements you have into my schedule. I am only offering client in-home care at this time. I love caring for pets in their own environment where they feel comfortable to express their full personalities. I have homes in both Colorado Springs and Fort Collins where I spend most of my time but I also travel the country in my converted camper van!
“I am someone who is very anxious to leave my dogs with other people. I trusted them with Laura and I cannot recommend her enough. She house sat, my dogs were so well taken care of, she is very communicative, sent pictures multiple times a day and gave constant updates. It put me at ease. I will be reaching out to her again in the future for dog care.”

“Beverly did a great job with our dog Koda. We will definitely be using her again. She sent pictures everyday and left the house exactly how we left it. I would recommend her to anyone! ☺️”


About: I've taken care of many different kinds of animals and am willing to take care of even more. I love reptiles and rodents. Cats especially! If you have a small dog or cat that you can't clip their nails then leave it to me, I can handle that for ya! It fits most of my day, I am very anxious and care deeply for the safety and health of my pets. It is a daily thing for me to check on everything. I personally own a cat and used to own a guinea pig. (Rip Pumpkin) I make sure the food bowl is full 2 times a day because my son doesnt like seeing the bottom. I make sure to check the litter box and water every single day to make sure theres no blowouts and that things are kept clean. I will play with him for a solid 2 hours at least a day (hes very large) and then he gets lap cuddles almost all day.
“Cami was great! She sent pictures of the dogs regularly with texts about them. The house was as clean as I left it. I will be having Cami watch our dogs again. 5 star experience.”

About: I provide loving, reliable care for your pets while you’re away. I walk, feed, and play with them, ensuring they’re happy, safe, and loved pets I’m reliable and always ready.

I take care of them by checking up and ensuring that they are doing OK making sure that they are not eating or getting into anything that they’re not supposed to be getting into and overall taking care of them
“Not only did Scarlett watch our dogs in our own home, she left the place immaculate and updated us on everything! My husband and I have two fairly anxious labs, and they seem very happy even though we were gone! I would trust her for all your pet needs.”

About: I have been a dog Mom for 15 plus years for both small and large dogs. I have a fenced in yard for our resident senior large male dog. I am currently working P/T from home with a reliable car for drop in visits, house sitting and dog walking. I am able to make time 24/7 to take care of your fur babies at your home or mine. I have a fenced in yard with a friendly senior dog. We have a walkable neighborhood for walks while in boarding care. Clean and clutter free house for ease of animal care. Lots of playtime.
“Amya was incredible. Very reliable. Sent pictures and updates regularly. We just moved here, and my dogs haven’t had a new dog sitter for a long time, so we were a bit nervous about having someone new, but Amya was awesome. Would definitely recommend her to anyone! Thanks again, Amya!”

“Nellie was great! She made me feel some peace at mind for my high energy dog while I was on vacation. Koda (3 year old Australian shepherd) can be a handful but she made sure he had plenty of play time and walks and handled it like a pro.”

“He was amazing! He attended to all my animals with ease! He is also very loving and loves all animals which helps ease the nerves while you have to leave your fur babies alone! I even immediately rebooked him for another trip that I gave coming up! Go book with him if you want your pets to feel loved while you are gone!”
