About: I have been actively taking care of pets my whole life. I love animals and treat them like my own children. I have a 10 year old daughter who is on her way to become a vet and wife who loves pets just as much! I work from home and can accommodate your schedule at anytime needed. I would be happy to make sure that your pet has the best experience. I have a fully fenced yard on a quiet street. I allow pets to use any furniture they would like to make themselves a home

About: I owned a dog camp for 10 years in the mountains outside of Boulder, CO. My daughter and I want to share our love and knowledge of animals with others. We have lots of experience and would love to spend time with your furry friends. My staff and I also worked extensively with Tenderfoot Trainers in Boulder, CO, and I have experience with a variety of dog personalities. We have a very flexible schedule and work from home. I have a small import business and work from home. My daughter homeschools and has various classes and lessons throughout the week. We can provide care (walks, food, snuggling, and potty breaks) in the early morning, at lunchtime, and/or dinner time as well as do sleepovers. We provide services housesitting, dog-walking, feeding, and giving potty breaks. Both my daughter and I love animals and we treat all pets as if they were our own. We understand how challenging it is to be away from your furry family but we will give lots of love, send lots of pics and do our best to form a lasting and loving relationship with your dog while you're away. We hope that your pup has as much fun as you while on vacation!

About: I have trained my doodle, after she came from a family with having no prior training. While also growing up with my 10 year old golden retrier. I am a college student and I have class everyday besies the weekend and thursday, I have classes in the morning but after 12 I am free. I have trained my 3 year old golden doodle named ruby and grew up with my 10 year old golden retriever named cooper who sheds a lot.

About: I have always been lucky enough to have a dog growing up. I have looked after my neighbors pets multiple times as well. I am very comfortable around all types. As for cats I have never personally taken care of any but I do volunteer at the shelter that has both cats and dogs. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them and treat them as if they were my own. I have one family dog named Charles. He is a Lagotto Romagnolo and he truly is my bestfriend. I am interning at an accounting firm and I work Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8 to 5 pm. I am free to pet sit these days too after 5. Since I sit at a desk all day, I have a lot of energy leftover and love going on walks and playing with my dog in the evening. Hopefully in the future yours too!! I currently have a dog and he is a big part of my life. I love exercising and everyone I do cardio he joins me for my walks. He loves playing fetch so I am used to that. I also just love a pets affection and love. I constantly walk my dog, take him to the dog park (even though all he does is sit in the shade), I feed him every night and give him infinite kisses!

About: I've been helping care for friends' and family's dogs since I was 10 years old. Because I've always loved dogs and hoped to have one of my own someday, I've spent a lot of time learning about dog care, behavior, training, and enrichment. I've worked with puppies frequently in the past and am comfortable with the extra patience, supervision, and consistency they require. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or sticking to a specific routine, I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits great into my routine. I have a flexible schedule, and I'm available throughout most weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime and I always make sure to follow each pet's routine as closely as possible. While I do have some weekend commitments and can't do late nights, I have an otherwise open schedule. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive the attention they need. When caring for puppies, I'm especially attentive to potty breaks, supervision, and maintaining any training routines. I'll also make keep the owners updated throughout the day.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, big or small consistently for the past couple years. I love to be active with dogs and would have no problem walking them and taking them out for long periods of time, as well as a calm day in. I’m currently just a part time student and aside from other small hobbies I am always available for any work needed! I am also always available for overnight stays too. Back at home I was always surrounded by dogs and I am used to all different types. With your dog I’ll always take them out for a walk, constantly doing different activities and that’ll come with plenty of photo updates aswell!

About: Since the age of 2, my family has owned many pets of all shapes and sizes. Growing up I learned the skills to be able to talke care of pets on my own. I also learned a lot from fostering dogs of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds for many years. I spend time watching my neighbors pets very often and enjoy it very much. I work with pets at my own house as well as pets at my neighbors house daily. I have experience with all sorts of animals ranging from dogs, to cats, to chickens, and many more. I enjoy taking care of pets and I make sure to keep it one of my priorities. Currently, I work with pets every day. I am responsible for feeding and play with my dogs daily as well my cat. I also feed chickens daily, bring them snacks, and collect their eggs!

“Lauren helped us out with a last minute booking. We instantly felt very comfortable with her and she was great with our dog. Punctual and great communication. We will definitely book her again.”

About: I have always loved animals since I was little and have had various furry friends throughout my life. I have cared for dogs from miniature Poodles to German Shepherds; each animal has their own unique personality and I look forward to meeting them all. I have embraced retirement, so I have lots of time to spend with your furry family. From walking your neighborhood, exploring various trails, or just play time at the park or home, I will give your pet the love and attention I would my own pets. I currently have two cats, who are indoor only. They are played with daily, although half the time they just sleep in the sun. My current home project is to build them a catio so they can sleep there too.

“Rylie is always on-time and reliable. My dog is always excited to see her.”

About: I grew up with 2 dogs and 2 cats always in the house. I deeply enjoy volunteering to walk and care for animals. I am a runner and can have dogs accompany me easily! During the school year I frequently walk dogs at the Portland Dog Rescue association up in Oregon. I have worked at the CSD in the recreational sports section , where I practiced time management, along with people/pet management. Overall, I love animals and am an extremely active person! My schedule is very flexible, I can accommodate any time or request. I'm free everyday day from 7am-10pm for walks and check-ins. I'm willing to work earlier or later upon request! I walk my own dog at least once a day for about an hour or so. I clean the litter box with diligence and love to give animals baths when they get dirty (bathing is needed most of the time after a trip to the dog park). At night I love to cuddle with my kitties and watch a movie.

“Lauren was very thoughtful about the heat when walking my pup. She was so detailed when leaving a message. It made my day reading them knowing my pup is safe. She sent me pictures and my pup looked so happy to see her every time. Thank you so much 11/10”

About: Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always been surrounded by animals! My next-door neighbor would trust me for weeks at a time to take care of her old cat, and I would always take care of my pets when my parents weren’t home. Over the past year and a half, I worked at a local veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve decided to take on pet-sitting full time while I finish college with my career goal being a veterinarian! I also own a leopard gecko, giving me experience handling exotic reptiles! Whether your pets need frequent potty breaks, walks, play-dates, or any sort of medication, I’m your gal! Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority! I’m currently unemployed, and about to finish my college semester- giving me of the time in the world to work with you and your pets! My availability will always be flexible and I will be attentive to any of your needs. I live with one (soon to be two) dogs! My current dog is very sweet and sociable- she loves to make new friends! I’m used to taking big and small dogs on walks, and am more than willing to take your pet on a playdate with mine! I can crate your animal, prepare special meals, and clean up after them if they’re used to going potty in your backyard! Same thing applies to cats and their litter-boxes! I will always be sure to make sure your pets are comfortable while you’re away.

“Amy is very thorough and thoughtful. She took copious notes on my senior dog and changed her diaper and wiped her paws awesomely per my request. When faced with language barriers, Amy is still communicative, kind and respectful— my mom liked her too!”

About: As a dog lover at heart, I’m always on the lookout for new furry friends. When I’m not providing exceptional pet care, you can find me at the local adoption center spending my free time playing with the dogs and giving them the love and attention they deserve. My goal is to ensure every pet I care for has a positive experience, making their time away from you as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. I am currently seeking part-time work, which gives me plenty of time to devote to your pets. I’m available on all weekdays and most weekends, ready to provide the love and attention your furry friends deserve. Feel free to send me a message-I’d love to arrange a time to meet and discuss how I can help care for your pets. I maintain a safe and clean environment for my pets and promise to do the same for yours. While you are away, I will ensure your animals are well cared for and loved, taking care to clean up any messes. Your pets’ well-being and your peace of mind are my top priorities.

About: I love all animals and I’m home all day and will treat your dog like my own. Walks, treats, potty breaks, whatever is needed to make your dog comfortable I will do it. I grew up doing 4-H and with Australian Shepherds and love animals of all kinds. I can also sit for small pets too like bunnies or chickens. I’m a stay at home mom so I’m usually around to watch your dog. If it fits into my schedule I will help you with your dog. I love all dogs and animals. I have a pet friendly very large fenced yard and one small dog. I can crate your dog if you prefer, or let them run in the yard or be in the house. I can walk your dog, watch your dog during the day or overnight. I can also give lots of potty breaks if needed. We treat dogs like family.

“Chris was great! Showed up on time every time and was always super friendly. He helped us walk our larger dog as I’m injured and can’t handle her strength when she pulls the leash. Super helpful! Thanks again for all of your help!”

About: An avid animal lover since a young age. I have had a variety of animals growing up from dogs and cats to chickens and goats. I’ve made animals into my career studying animal science for 3 years, working in animal care for 4, and certified fear free techniques. I am currently working in animal care just under full time with weekends and Mondays free. My schedule is very flexible and accommodating to new furry friends. I have interacted with such a large variety of pets and have always taken great care to treat them as they were my own. In my own home I ensure they are happy and healthy, with this same mentality passed onto client’s pets.
