Collette was prompt, friendly, and detailed in her drop in visit with my two needy cats. She provided lots of pictures and attention when visiting. So glad to have had her on such short notice! Would recommend.

Sophia did a great job looking after our cats. She met them and took notes on what she needed to do and how to dispense medicine. She was in contact with us, letting us know through photos and texts that all was well with our kitties. Very dependable, friendly and courteous! Five stars!

Kiley was amazing with my cat Fred. She was punctual and took such good care of him while I was away. He loves attention and I could tell by all the great photos she was giving him plenty. I will definitely be requesting her in the future and would highly recommend her for your petsitting needs.

I have a very stubborn 9 year old English Bulldog. He has recently become agitated in the last couple of years as he ages so visits to the Vet and groomer have become filled with anxiety as his temper gets the best of him and we are left with no choice but to sedate him otherwise I fear he may bite. The ONLY person that he will allow to touch him to clean him is Lindsay. She is also the only person that he will listen to and follow commands. Yes, he is a stubborn child!!! I call Lindsay the "dog whisperer" because I have yet to experience an interaction like this. He and Lindsay have this sweet bond that leaves my heart full and my mind at ease. Lindsay is patient, kind, compassionate and loving. She is reliable and trustworthy, always going ABOVE and BEYOND to ensure he is well cared for. When I am away on vacation or gone for periods of time, Lindsay takes such good care of my sweet boy. He needs to be wiped regularly because of his folds, his bottom and he drools a lot!! She cleans him when she visits and sends pictures of them spending time together, it is such a relief to know I found someone who he enjoys being around and the feeling is reciprocated. He refuses to walk or exercise and even getting him to go outside to go to the bathroom has proved to be challenging for us. Lindsay has somehow worked her magic and he listens to her, going outdoors to exercise and enjoys their play time together!! Truly, there are no words that could capture the type of caregiver Lindsay is, but I am forever grateful for the happiness and love she has provided for my guy!!

About: I have had dogs, cats, and various other critters for my entire life! Not only am I able to train/shape your pup, I am able to dispense medications, soothe your pup, give them massages, and much more! I can work with all ages, sizes, and temperaments I’m currently available on weekends, afternoons (starting at 3 PM), holidays, long weekends, vacations, and all summer long! I’m highly flexible, easy to work with, and always eager to help! I am passionate and make it my goal to provide pets with a safe, loving, and and comfortable experience, whether in my home or my client's. My approach is rooted in building trust and confidence—not only with the pets I care for but also with their owners. I understand that leaving a pet in someone else's hands requires confidence and peace of mind, which is why I prioritize open communication, consistent routines, and personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Safety is my top priority! I ensure a secure environment by carefully pet-proofing spaces, following dietary guidelines, and keeping a close watch during any/all playtime and outdoor activities. I also take a sustainable approach by using eco-friendly products and minimizing waste to create a healthier environment for pets and their families. My goal is to create harmony and a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners, fostering a sense of trust and reliability every step of the way! Whether it's daily walks, training sessions, enrichment activities, overnight stays, or specialized care, I am committed to treating every pet like family.

Camille has been a long time dog sitter for us. She is a wonderful communicator, often providing updates and pictures so that we know how the dogs are doing and she handles our dogs perfectly despite the fact they are 88 and 78 pounds! In all the years she has been dog sitting for us, she has never missed an appointment or even been one minute late. She has a calm nature, very organized and straight up dependable. I am thrilled to be able to write this 100% 5 star review! Thanks Camille! We sure wish you were still living in Colorado! Mary J.
