“Collette has been so good with my pups! So glad that I found her. She is very detail oriented and accommodating. Collette keeps me updated on everything. Thank you again Collette.”
“Dana is wonderful!! My dog Gianna loves when she comes by to walk her during the day. She currently comes to take her out two days a week, once each day. I was very nervous having someone come into my home & walk my little girl but I feel so comfortable knowing Dana is with her. I would highly recommend her!! Thank you Dana!!”
“Madeline saved the day and accepted a last minute request when our usual dog walker was out of town. She was patient with our nervous pup and did a great job at making her feel comfortable!”
“Jennifer is so great! I have used her a handful of times now for dog walking. She provides very detailed updates during her walk and always listens if I provide her with different instructions for the day. She also quickly caught on to what our dog likes to do - play fetch versus going for walks so she takes time to play fetch. Definitely recommend booking her!”
About: For about three years while living in Denver, my partner and I were fostering kittens and dogs in our spare time (and loved it)! I own two social cats (foster fails) who I've taken care of since they were kittens. My partner has a traveling role for work, so I haven't been able to foster animals like before- I need my animal fix! I signed up to be a pet sitter because I genuinely love animals and miss taking care of them. I'm flexible with my schedule! I'm currently inbetween work contracts. If you need weekend sitting- just shoot me a message! I may be able to accommodate. With my experience fostering (and pet sitting), I understand your pet may have particular needs that I will gladly accommodate! With me, you will get frequent updates and photos of your loved fur child- they are in good hands!
“I contacted Victoria without much.notice hoping to get somebody to walk my dog 2 times on a day where I was going to be gone for at least 12 hours. She had never met me or my dogs but took on the task. She was.able.to get my dogs out, hung out with them a bit in my yard, and for their second afternoon session she took them for a wooded hike and to a pet store for treats. She went above and beyond and my dogs were very pleased. Great job V.”
“Thank you for taking care of Maddox yesterday Jennifer! I know that she enjoyed having a visitor and getting to go out during a long day. I’m sorry that she barked a little at the beginning! She is so sweet though. I will be sure to let you know if she needs anything more, and she will love working with you. Thank you”
“Janet is awesome! Dependable and so sweet with our baby boy. Finding her has been a huge weight off my mind, knowing my doggie boy has a wonderful, loving buddy to exercise him while I'm away. You rock Janet!!”
About: I have experience in handling a variety of dog personalities and breeds, as I have three dogs and a cat living with me (one could say it’s a zoo!). I feel confident in my abilities to care for your pets and love to send update pictures to let you know how they’re doing! I currently work part-time as a nanny and have a wide range of availability, allowing me to care for your pets around the clock and at almost any time of the day- especially meal times (which your pet may argue is the most important time!). I know how to maneuver an invisible fence as well as leashing a dog to go outside. I always keep an eye on them regardless of the fence situation as a precaution and watch out for skunks and other wildlife at night. I feel comfortable crating animals and cleaning up after them, whether it be for a litter box or outside. I also take the time to play with your animals and spend time petting them to ensure they feel well-loved and taken care of.
About: Dog owner for 17 years, cat owner my whole life. I’m very active love long walks and cuddles. I just lost my 15 year old dog so I’m familiar with senior care and we currently have a puppy so I’m dealing with that so I can handle anything. I work from home so I can do before work (early mornings), midday and afternoons. I can stop in for feedings and or walks. Maybe just cuddles if that’s needed. Fenced yard, 2 friendly dogs. I can stop by for feedings/walks. Very trustworthy mom of 3 grown children. My pups are my world and I know you feel the same about yours.
About: Growing up we had a cocker spaniel, I’ve always LOVED dogs. My Shelby slept on my bed and we’d take walks together, she was my best friend! I think pets add a special kind of love to a home and family. When I met my husband he had two cats, so I’ve learned from him how to be a loving cat-parent, too! Currently we have one friendly, snuggly black cat named Ivy and we’d love to help care for your furry baby. We’ve hosted several furry guests in our home over the last few years, it has been a complete joy getting to know their unique personalities and quirks! My two little boys have had such a great time learning how to take care of pets; helping to feed them, take them for walks, play and snuggle! Can’t wait to meet a new little friend! I work in education so my summers are less demanding; my husband works from home, so there’s always someone around during the day (and night!). I have a fenced in back yard (6ft wood fence) and two energetic little boys, 7 and 9, who would love to play with a furry little friend. They are sweet, kind-natured, and always love petting friendly dogs at the park. My youngest son has autism and we’ve found that having pets in our home has taught him valuable skills that you can’t learn anywhere else!
“I've booked Jacqueline and Uriel a few times now and they are always great. Super flexible, communicative, reliable, and my dachshund Ladybug LOVES them. Thank you! 💗”
About: The most common thing kids ask Santa for at Christmas is probably a dog, and as a kid I was no different. I’ve always loved animals, but my parents were too busy to take on the responsibility of a pet. Last year, my older sister (who still lives with us) adopted a cat, and through helping her, I’ve learned a lot about caring for animals. I’ve also been dog sitting for family friends since I was young, often just for the joy of it rather than any pay. Now, I’m offering pet-sitting services not only to earn some extra money for school, but also to enjoy the company of an animal friend, since I can’t get my own pet as I am preparing to move into a university in a couple of years. I am out of the house from usually 9am-3pm, but I can come home 2 or even 3 times between then as my college is very nearby. I can offer my full attention, I not only am fine with running around and playing with an animal but hope we do. I also am pretty organized and love following rules to the dot, exact feeding times, weighed portions, specific potty times, etc.
About: I bring patience, genuine love, and experience to every pet I care for. Whether it’s a lively puppy needing basic training and socialization or a senior pet requiring gentle care and medication, I adapt my approach to fit their unique needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, reinforcing commands like sit and stay, and providing extra cuddles or calm companionship when needed. What truly sets me apart is my dedication to communication—I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always feel connected and confident. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities, and I treat every animal like part of my family. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life—I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority in my schedule. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or cozy evenings with a furry friend, I structure my day to make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m dependable, flexible, and committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and at home—whether it’s just for a day or a whole week. In your home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. I follow all feeding, potty, and playtime instructions closely and give plenty of love, attention, and gentle care. I make sure your pet feels safe, whether that means playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping things calm and quiet.

Carlin H.
“As a high school teacher who works with young people on a daily basis, I can attest that Carlin is one of the most responsible, mature and trustworthy persons of that generation to work with. Carlin is quite familiar with pets, having grown up in a household with animals, and that fact is readily apparent in seeing how she interacted with our two "characters." We have a cat and a dog, and when my wife and I go away for a long weekend we have full trust in Carlin completing our requested routines for our finicky cat and dog. Upon our return the house is clean, and our pets are well cared for, and they both simply adore Carlin. I cannot recommend Carlin enough as someone to trust and care for animals.”
