Courtney was so good with our dog. She loved on her, took her for walks, kept us updated and communicated so well, AND sent the cutest pics. She will be our first call next time we need someone to look after our dog. TT LOVES her ?

Ali did an awesome job with our 4 fur babies, I think they love her more than us now. She was very attentive to their medications making sure they took the right amount, on time, and even had to add a day worth of medication because of issues our trip incurred. She was very diligent about making sure they had plenty of playtime (fetch) weather permitting. I'm thinking she might want to take up dog photography because she got quite of few fabulous pictures that we can never seem to get. The only reason I wouldn't recommend her is because I want her just for my fur babies, in all seriousness I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER for taking care of fur babies (dogs) especially if they have to take oral medication.

Gabbi was great! I gave her a lot of information and she easily remembered it all and did a great job. At our meet and greet my cat Sue warmed up to her immediately and I knew it would be a good fit!

About: Hands on care, including feeding, walking, and administering meds, while emphasizing responsibility and attention to detail in maintaining a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for your pet. I have a very flexible schedule during the week and weekends. I proactively plan and can adjust to your schedule to accommodate owner or dogs needs. I have an extremely friendly dog that thinks all dogs want to be his best friend. I’m flexible to any needs your fur baby might need throughout their stay!

As a nervous cat mom, I was worried about finding someone I could trust to care for Daisy. Jenny put me at ease immediately when we met and shared stories about her own cats I could relate to. I felt comfortable leaving Daisy knowing Jenny would take good care of her. Her notes about her visits were so helpful and Daisy was well fed and cared for when I returned. This was a wonderful experience for both Daisy and I.

About: I treat every dog like my own and tailor my care to their unique needs. I’m experienced with puppies (routines, potty breaks, basic training support) and senior dogs (medications, mobility help, and extra TLC). I’m reliable, communicative, and focused on making both pets and owners feel comfortable and stress-free. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work from home. I’m able to provide consistent attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and meals. Since I’m home, dogs are rarely left alone and receive plenty of care, supervision, and affection. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets receive timely meals, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm supervision at all times. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents feel confident and informed while they’re away.

Crystal has been an amazing sitter while I’ve been out of town for work. Great communication, sent pictures and kept me updated on everything going on when she arrived and left my house. She took excellent care of my three dogs, including my senior pup who needs a little extra attention. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs!

Kaylee was so patient and professional with our little guy. He endured past abuse so he is very timid with strangers, but he warmed up to her amazingly! Dogs are great judges of character! She kept in great contact and was so thorough! We will definitely use her in the future.

About: I provide pet sitting in my home for puppies and small dogs (under 20 lbs). I also provide drop in services to your home and dog walking. My son and I have have been dog walking and sitting for others in the Riverbend area for the past 10 years. I LOVE traveling so I know how important (and difficult) it is to find a dog sitter you can trust and rely on while you're gone. I love all dogs and enjoy meeting new clients whether I am dropping in for visits or walks or boarding in my home. Please reach out with any questions. I am a mother of two adult children and work a hybrid schedule. I have lots of free time and have been dog walking and sitting for over 10 years with my son. We started dog walking and sitting together when he was 12 and he will be starting college soon and I want to continue our side business on my own. We have 2 acres on a cul-de-sac in Godfrey and enjoy talking walks. We have a large home that is safe and dog friendly. I can also do drop-ins while you are away.

About: Long-time local serving Eagle and Summit County. Willing to travel for pick up/drop off. I’m happy to stop in multiple times a day, go for walks, or organize an overnight stay. I’m familiar with local dog parks and trails, and have reliable transportation. Shoot me a message to plan care for your dog while you’re going out of town, or in town visiting the mountains! I have a very flexible schedule, making it easy for me to stop in multiple times a day, or go for long walks with your dog. At my home, I have a fenced balcony on a ground floor and a specific place to walk dogs. I like to go on local trails for longer walks. In clients homes, I like to stick to the routine and methods explained to keep a predictable schedule for the dog.

We’ve been so lucky to have Ali doing drop-ins for our puppy these past several months. She’s been incredibly reliable, responsible, and communicative. We always looked forward to her updates & photos - they truly made our day and gave us so much reassurance while we were at work. It gave us peace of mind to know our puppy was in such caring, trustworthy hands. She took such great care of him, and we’re so grateful for all the love and attention she gave our sweet boy! Thank you Ali!!
