About: I have always had a love for animals, I have had dogs and cats of my own since I can remember. I make sure to always give them the attention they deserve, And treat all animals as if they were my own. My name is Geselle, I work at wave at both the Fruita and Grand Junction locations. I typically work 4 hour shifts 2-3 times a week. Any other time around that schedule I can be there to take care of any animals you need. I grew up with a diabetic dog who needed lots of attention, And I made it my priority to make sure he was the happiest he can be. I can take your animals on walks play with them, And even give medication when needed.

About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a deep love for animals. Growing up with them, I have experience with everything from puppies to senior dogs, kittens and senior cats. I currently care for two large, dogs and two cats. I have plenty of hands on experience with daily walks, grooming, feeding, and playtime. I love having an active companion, like a dog, but I have a special soft spot for cats. Their unique reserved and affectionate personalities make them especially close to my heart. I often help care for neighbors' animals while they’re away, making sure their pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved in their absence. My experience with pet care has taught me the importance of attentive care and excites me to continue working with animals. As I am graduating high school, I’ve had the flexibility to care for my pets, which is something I truly enjoy. I can be attentive to feeding my dogs and cats, refreshing their water. I make time throughout the day for grooming, playtime, and keeping their spaces clean. My favorite activities involve the outdoors, including hiking and I love to bring a four legged buddy along. Even with social plans or family commitments, I always prioritize making sure my pets feel cared for, loved and part of my daily life. As a pet owner, I’m well equipped with plenty of treats, toys, brushes, and food and water dishes. My dogs enjoy a fenced backyard at home, and I often take them to a nearby park for more space to run. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I make sure to spend quality time with them so they don’t feel lonely. I’m also available to stay overnight if needed and can help with light household tasks like watering plants or vacuuming. My goal is always to keep pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their families are away.

Dawna's care of Mac was excellent. She is very friendly and talented when it comes to taking care of Mac. I felt comfortable with her from the start and so did Mac. He doesn't often greet unfamiliar people, but he was friendly from the start with Dawna. I will be recommending her, Rover to others as well as continuing to book Dawna in the future.

About: Let me take care of your home, fur family, and plant babies so you can leave your worries behind and enjoy your time away to the fullest! Have a senior or special needs pet? I’ve got you covered. I have cared for sick and senior cats and my soul puppy had degenerative myopathy that for years called for extreme special care including medicine, diapers, shoes, hands on assistance, and eventually a wheelchair. I have a deep respect for all living things as well as other people’s things. When staying at someone’s home I always bring all my own food and bedding so there is no stress of additional cleaning before or after your trip nor the worry of your pet being left alone for grocery/food runs. Unless otherwise discussed, I will be at your home with your pet from the time you leave to the time you arrive back home. I currently work with my husband on his photography business which allows me a very flexible and open schedule. If we aren’t traveling for a shoot, I’m available to take care of your pet and housesitting needs! Nights, weekends, holidays - I’ve got you covered. I seek total respect and comfort from your pets. If they want to go for a walk or play outside I’m here all day. If they would rather be left alone and just have their liter box clean and food bowl full, I’m happy to make that happen. For the outdoorsy type, I’m more than happy to take them on hikes and for open desert roaming at parents request. No pet will ever be let off least outside without specific direction to do so.

About: My family has taken in quite a variety of animals in my life, all being rescues. I have experience with dogs with severe PTSD, anxiety, and hyperactivity; as well as a range of cats in challenging circumstances like raising an abandoned 2 week old kitten to helping a feral mama cat have her kittens. I have been pet sitting for others for about 2 years now as well. I love dogs and cats and giving them the love and attention they thrive with, as every animal has different needs. I am an English major full time at Colorado Mesa University, and am a part time closer at Papa Murphy’s. I am available after 8pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays and free after 3pm on Mondays. I am free all day on Thursdays and Sundays, and in the morning on Saturday. I am available every holiday as well! I am currently living in the dorms at CMU, so I won’t be able to offer pet care in my home, however I am able to come to you!

About: Hi! My name is Kacey, and I’m a lifelong animal lover. I’ve cared for dogs and occasionally cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, or just some company, I’ll make sure they feel happy and safe while you’re away. My dog was special needs, needing many daily meds and even recovering from multiple surgeries so I am comfortable with meds as well! I am in grad school right now, so I have weird hours Monday-Thursday. I am available for drop in’s during the day and overnight! Weekends (Friday-Sunday) I am completely open! I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in their familiar space. I always follow their routine, keep them safe and happy, and treat your home with respect. You’ll also get regular updates so you know your pet is in good hands.

About: Hi! My names Mallory and I’m a stay at home dog mom looking for a fun job! I’m extremely reliable, trustworthy, and I will make it a priority to take the best care of your furry friends! As a dog owner myself, I know that dogs are family and they need to be treated as such. I love walking and hiking so your pets will be well exercised and ready for a cuddle when you get home! I love all kinds of animals and I am completely capable of administering any medications or sticking to any dietary requirements. Can’t wait to meet all your amazing pets! I currently don’t have any work during the day so I am available anytime your furry friend needs a walk, meal, or given any medications. I have two high energy dogs that love to play! If your pet is not the social I am able to separate them as I do have a fenced yard with shade and room to run! At your home, I can stick to a potty or med schedule, take them for a walk, or just hang out with them so they don’t feel lonely.

Catherine was excellent! We love her and so does Kitty. We told Catherine she'd likely never see Kitty when she did her drop in visits for feeding, but Kitty greeted her every day, a sign that Kitty really liked her! Thanks again for everything.

Dani and Kenneth were great! They cleaned up an unfortunate mess and took care of our two beagles just as good as your favorite family member would. They provided us with plenty of pictures and updates and were overall just about the best pet sitters we’ve had to date. We would absolutely use them again in the future!
