Andrew takes such good care of our dogs, I’m pretty sure they like him more than us. Really appreciate the photos and reports, and the concern and attention to detail! Thank you Andrew!

About: Im a lover of most all animals especially dogs. I worked at a major dog toy manufacturer for over 10 years. Became friends with a dog trainer who taught me about behaviors and the do's and dont's when interacting with dogs. Is your dog a 'fetcher', 'chewer' or 'tugger'. I'm looking to making new dog friends. I'm recently retired and all days are available. It also gives me an opportunity to get some extra exercise while having a lot of fun doing so. I am looking only for dog walking and sitting at pet owners homes to start. That may change in the future but for now that's what I offer.

About: Hi, I'm Ryan! My wife Emily and I have lived in Colorado since 2014, and we’ve been full-time pet sitters for the past 8 years!! Pets are our passion, and we treat each animal with the most love and care. We’ve often been told we take the best photos too!! Sadly in late 2024, our sweet senior beagle Lola was put to rest peacefully at home. We miss her dearly and love the support our network of other pets can provide. Lola loved going on hikes along Clear Creek, chilling at home and taking adventures all over Colorado! She made so many great friends thru Rover, and we look forward to meeting your loved ones soon too! Message me for more info on booking :) I've cared for all sorts of animals since I was a kid growing up in Texas. But after starting college, I looked for extra ways to earn money, and started watching my neighbor's pets. Now that I've graduated, I still prefer the freedom to be my own boss, and love the connections I build with each and every animal. Please don't hesitate to send me a message with any questions, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon :) Pet and house sitting is our full-time job, so we are both very flexible and always willing to adapt. Whether it’s an extended stay, or a quick drop-in, rest assured Emily and I will try our best to accommodate. We often get booked in advance! I treat every animal with lots of love, care, and respect. Emily and I are vegetarians and don’t want kids anytime soon, so all of our focus is on making sure your pets have the proper care and attention. We have experience giving insulin shots, oral and topical medications, and can even provide bathing upon request.

Heather is so sweet and reliable. Even with bad weather she made sure Dani was taken care of. Also went above by bringing in all our deliveries. Would most definitely use her services again.

Vanessa was amazing! This is our first time leaving the dogs and I was nervous about being across the country. Once we left though I knew they were in good hands. I was able to actually relax! She was very communicative and I loved the pictures she sent. We'll definitely hire Vanessa again if we need the pups looked after!

Brittany was so great! I was nervous about being away from my cat for the first time but she made the experience so relieving. She made sure to give me updates with pictures each visit and was super sweet. Extremely responsive and responsible; I’ll definitely be trusting her with my animals again! 😊

About: I’m Casey, a student at the Colorado School of Mines studying engineering physics. When I’m not hitting the books, I love going on walks, the occasional hike, and skiing during the winter. I also love baking and even keep a sourdough starter named JJ! I’ve had 5 pets growing up, starting with my first dog when I was just 2 years old, and 4 cats since then. Because I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, I know that every single pet has a wildly unique personality, and my favorite thing to do is figure out exactly what makes them tick. I’ve loved them all—from my lazy childhood dog Tucker, who was so passive he never growled no matter how hard you squeezed him , to my cat Lizzie, who had a resting grumpy face but was such a sweet lap cat that you simply couldn't move once she sat down. I am incredibly observant and patient with pets' specific needs. Back at home in Seattle, I have a timid senior cat, Josie, who has arthritis in her knees and only drinks from the faucet until her face is covered in water. I also have a playful "dog-cat" named Lucie who loves her boxes and begs to sit on the porch in the sun, and another cat named MeeMee who will chirp at you from across the room when she realizes she's alone. I bring this same grounded, detail-oriented love to every pet I care for. Whether your animal needs a quiet companion or an active walking buddy, you can trust me to be responsible, communicative, and invested in your furry best friend! I'm currently doing research part time with flexible hours, so I'll have plenty of time to adjust to each pet's needs, whether that means a long walk/hike or some quick cuddles. Each pet is different and I'd love to learn what each one needs and make sure they get as much exercise or attention as desired.

About: I’ve cared for my family and friends pets ever since I could remember. Dogs, cats, rats and reptiles! I can teach your dog a new cool trick, play with your kitties, or feed your scaly friend some bugs. I currently work full time as a baker. This opens up most of my afternoons and all my evenings for drop ins and dog walks! When it comes for caring for pets I like to use a positive approach, creating a good relationship with the pets, moving on their time to get comfortable with each other.

About: Here’s a full “About Me” style experience section covering everything: I’ve been around animals my whole life – cats and dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. On the dog side, I’ve spent time with Great Pyrenees, so I know what it means to care for a gentle giant who needs space, steady handling, and someone who isn’t intimidated by the size. I’ve also worked with high-energy breeds like Corgis who need real engagement, and small but mighty dogs like Chihuahuas who have opinions and aren’t shy about sharing them. Whether your dog wants to burn off steam on a long walk or curl up and not move for two hours, I match their energy – not the other way around. With cats, I’ve handled the full spectrum – chaotic kittens who need supervision and stimulation, seniors who want quiet company and a predictable routine, and multi-cat households where keeping the peace is its own skill set. Every animal is different. My job is to figure out what yours needs and deliver that – not a generic visit, but one that actually fits them. I am working part time from home so I have tons of time everyday to spend with your furry friends. I do a few big walks a day and would love your pets to tag along. I have a big back yard and lots of space to keep your furry friend occupied. I also love taking long walks with your friends.

My cat is 18 years old and needs medication. I was worried about leaving him even for three nights. Andrew came twice a day to feed, water, medicate and check on him, including cleaning the litter box. He even brought in a package and watered outdoor plants. Will definitely use him again!

We had a last-minute change of plans and Kayla kindly agreed to take care of our cats on very short notice. We’re so so grateful for this! Most importantly, she took wonderful care of our kitties and followed all our instructions perfectly. When we got home, everything was just as we left it, without any new mess.

Picking Emily, was the right decision. She was very communicative, punctual, and most importantly took care of Elliott while we were away. Typically when we come home from a trip, Elliott is very displeased. However, this time was different. He greeted us, as a way to tell us “thank you, I was taken care of”. We will definitely reach out to Emily for our next visit.
