“Jackie continues to be awesome. One of my pups got sick and she took him to the vet and then cared for him. She reported vet findings clearly and what meds he needed administered so I could easily take over when I got home. The other two pups were fine and she also gave them the love and care they needed. We can always tell when the dogs have been well cared for because while they’re very happy to see us, they don’t seem at all stressed. Just switching people who care about them.”

“Katy has watched our boys multiple times and every time she shows how caring, attentive, and kind she is. She goes above and beyond and is ALWAYS communicating so you feel at ease. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

About: I have lived with cats my entire life and have an abundance of experience caring for them, meeting their needs and wants. Growing up, I also lived with fostered pugs from a local pet rescue and have experience caring for them. While living in Colorado recently, I gained further experience cat sitting, while caring for dogs, geckos, pet birds, and chickens in a suburban setting. I have some experience walking dogs in urban settings. I am able to visit or stay with your dog to provide food, water medicine, play, and companionship. I also clean yards and immediately pickup pet waste when outside and clean in-house messes to prevent stains. I am communicative about pets and send daily updates and photos unless requested otherwise. I am currently a graduate student who only has class two days a week. I can visit animals daily with limitations to evening time on Tuesdays for visits. I am able to stay overnight with pets in their homes everyday and my maximum time out of the home at this time is 7 hours once a week. I often stay with dogs and visit cats, but can stay overnight in order to maintain their feeding and exercise routines. I let dogs out into the yard and spend time playing with them outside or go on morning and evening walks. With current flexibility, I can go on lunchtime walks. I always update clients about their pets daily unless requested otherwise.
“We entrusted our beloved furry friend to Rave’s care for six nights while we were away on our summer vacation—and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Rave was incredibly easy to communicate with and kept us updated every day with thoughtful messages and adorable photos of our pup. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our buddy was not only well looked after but genuinely happy and comfortable. We truly appreciate the care and attention Rave provided and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”

“Amanda was great with our dog Gannon who has lots of energy!! She was extremely thorough and took great care of him. We feel comfortable traveling knowing he is in great hands!”

“Laura did a fantastic job watching my dog while I was a way for a long weekend. She kept me updated and was very attentive to my dog’s needs. I definitely plan to have her dog sit again in the future.”

“Jose was a real super trooper taking care of our fur babies. The perfect combination of attention to detail and warmth toward Penny and Rocky. He really went the extra mile to take care of our place during some heavy storms. It was great to come home to a warm and inviting house. Highly recommend!”

“Amy was great! So chill and easy going. Our German Shepherd and Shihtzu have occasional squabbles and it was so great knowing they were safety under Amy’s care. She stayed the night with them— didn’t mind them hogging her space or all the shep hair and she left our house like she wasn’t even staying here. Thank you, Amy!”

“We had a truly excellent experience with Callie. She was professional, reliable, and exceptionally kind. Our dog adored her and received the best care and attention—he may even miss her already! Even our cat, who refused to make an appearance, was well looked after. Communication was excellent throughout, and the updates and photos she shared were not only thoughtful but truly magazine-worthy. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets and home were in such capable hands. We would gladly book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a caring and trustworthy sitter.”

“Carolyn is absolutely wonderful person and caregiver to my 2 furry boys. She is calm, careful, respectful, dependable, responsive and just top notch -will definitely book with her again.”
“Amanda was so fantastic! She was very communicative leading up to and during her stay, including sending lots of pictures. Our dogs were so happy to have her undivided attention, and she was so thoughtful of our house as well. Will absolutely use her again and highly recommend her!!!”

“We could not have had a better experience with Cari! While we were on vacation, Cari went above and beyond in every way. She sent us daily pictures and updates, played with our puppy, and took him on regular walks—he was clearly so loved and well cared for. She checked in consistently without being asked and even made sure we arrived home safely so the animals were never left alone. Our house was noticeably clean when we returned, and Cari even cared for our Christmas tree and goldfish. The thoughtful treats she left for our pets were such a kind touch. She is truly a gracious, reliable, and caring sitter. We had absolutely zero concerns and will definitely be booking with Cari again. Highly Recommend!!”

“We hired Ryan to stay at our house while we were on vacation. We have a high maintenance dog and older cat, and I’m a little type A, so I was a teeny bit worried. I did not need to be at all. Ryan was awesome! He kept us updated with photos, asked questions if he wasn’t sure about something and loved our pets! They were both very happy when we got home. In fact, I’m booking Ryan again, in a month, for an overnight stay! Can’t say enough good things, very happy I found him!”

“Nafisa took amazing care of our dogs over the holidays and treated them like family. She sent regular photo and video updates, which we really appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”

Jose was a real super trooper taking care of our fur babies. The perfect combination of attention to detail and warmth toward Penny and Rocky. He really went the extra mile to take care of our place during some heavy storms. It was great to come home to a warm and inviting house. Highly recommend!

Haley is a great pet sitter. This is our second time and we were gone for 2 nights. Came back to a happy puppy. That was the best review for us! Treated our puppy and home very well and was communicative and considerate. Will continue to have Haley sit Albus if her schedule permits.

Amanda was so fantastic! She was very communicative leading up to and during her stay, including sending lots of pictures. Our dogs were so happy to have her undivided attention, and she was so thoughtful of our house as well. Will absolutely use her again and highly recommend her!!!

Judith is the absolute best!! As usual, our pup was treated as a princess and our house was cleaner than when we left. Judith is always prompt, honest, accommodating, respectful, caring, and professional. When we leave our girl with Judith we have absolutely no worries at all. It’s such a relief to have peace of mind leaving our sweet fur baby. Thank you Judith!!!

Marideth was absolutely amazing with my boys (cats) while I was out of town for the week. Both of my cats currently have medical requirements - one needs an inhaler daily for asthma and the other on multiple pills. I know this can be a tricky role for anyone to step into and navigate. Marideth handled this extra task with confidence and care. She kept me updated with photos and messages and made sure both my boys were happy while I was away. It was such a huge relief to have her there and know they were in capable hands. She went above and beyond and I absolutely will be booking with her again!

Kayla was a wonderful choice for our two girls Paloma and Ivy. She is kind, thoughtful and detail oriented. She paid close attention to our instructions for our pups and taking care of our fish! We would not hesitate to have her back for another sit and you should not hesitate either!

I am beyond grateful for the incredible care Hillary provided to my two rescue dogs, Astrid and Rocco. These pups aren’t the easiest to look after—they come with a full set of challenges and sensitivities—but she handled everything with patience, compassion, and attention to detail. From the thorough pre-visit questions to the daily updates (complete with thoughtful notes and adorable photos), it was clear that Astrid and Rocco were in the best hands. Hillary went above and beyond to make sure both dogs felt safe and comfortable. I came home to two happy, relaxed dogs. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter who truly understands and respects the unique needs of rescue animals!

Natalie was phenomenal with my dog, Lina over a 5 day house-sitting booking. She took the time to ask questions, and was attentive when learning about Lina's quirks and her daily routine. She'd always send multiple updates a day, pictures on walks and at meal times. My apartment was just as I left it when I returned. Would absolutely recommend her, she'll treat your dog like they're her own, and is super respectful when house sitting. Will definitely book again!

Ann made herself to care for Enzo on very short notice. Even so, she stopped by to meet him ahead of time. She kept in regular communication with us. Despite being stung by a bee on the paw (which Ann made us aware of immediately), Enzo was in excellent spirits when we arrived home. He obviously was well loved in our absence.
