Michelle is the best sitter I've ever used here. I'm so happy I found her. She went above and beyond in building a relationship with my skiddish cats. Because of her, I was able to relax on my vacation.

About: I’m very hands on with all types of pets, being a real animal lover. I love to take the time to teach simple tricks and remind owners even the eldest of pets still have room to learn. I also like to take the time to care for my dogs hygiene and fur care it really makes it easier to have multiple pets under one roof. I currently a stay at home most of the day unless I’m working out so I have ample time for pet care in my daily schedule. Even when I do decide to return to work, I will be working my business from home. I currently stay downtown in an apartment but I also have a house with a full backyard and room for your dog to get a full outside experience upon sitting. I also have golden doodle that’s super friendly and mostly stays out the way when I’m sitting other pets.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Growing up, I worked at a veterinary clinic, which gave me early experience safely handling animals, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and understanding basic medical care. I also grew up with a wide variety of pets, including dogs, reptiles, rabbits, and other small animals, so I’m comfortable caring for more than just the typical dog or cat. I have a degree in Animal Science from Texas A&M, which deepened my understanding of animal behavior, health, and proper care. For many years I’ve also fostered with a local rescue, and I often take on the more challenging cases, including animals with medical needs or those that need a little extra patience and structure. That experience has made me very comfortable working with pets that have unique backgrounds, personalities, or care requirements. My own dog, Lady, has gone through extensive training, which taught me a lot about reading dog behavior, reinforcing good habits, and keeping animals calm and safe. Because of that, I’m very mindful about leash handling, introductions, and maintaining the routines your pet is used to. I’m also experienced with cats. My own cat recently went through a serious medical situation, so I’m comfortable monitoring behavior changes, administering basic medications, and paying close attention to things like litter box habits and appetite. At the end of the day, I’m simply the kind of person who will pull over for a stray on the side of the road, regardless of species. I care deeply about animals and treat every pet in my care with patience, attention, and respect for their individual needs. When caring for your pet, I treat your home and routines with the same respect I would want for my own. I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I try to keep my schedule flexible whenever possible and am happy to discuss your pet’s specific routine and needs.I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel stressful, so I’m always happy to schedule a meet and greet to make sure everyone feels comfortable before booking. My schedule is fairly flexible right now, which allows me to prioritize the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week and weekends, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. I try to keep my schedule manageable so that each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I follow feeding schedules closely, make sure pets get the appropriate exercise and enrichment, and always monitor behavior for any changes in appetite, energy, or health. Safety is very important to me. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and introductions to other animals, and I always make sure pets are secure before leaving the home. My background working in a veterinary clinic and fostering animals with medical needs has also made me comfortable administering basic medications and recognizing when something may need attention. I treat every home with the same respect I would want for my own. I keep things tidy, follow any house instructions carefully, and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

Sarah was so great with Chelsea & Nut Nut. She took pictures of them and provided good details of her visit. She was friendly and responsive. It is a relief knowing our cats were well taken care of while we were out of town. I highly recommend Sarah and look forward to using her again in the future.

About: I am a caring, communicative, and transparent sitter. I love sending photos and texts with updates to help you remain stress-free during your time away from your baby. I have spent years petsitting for family and friends and while I still do not have pets of my own, spending time with yours fills my heart just as much! I currently work full-time on a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility to check in on your pets on certain days (happy to discuss details!). I’m also able to stop by before my in-office days, during my lunch break, and after work. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every home I care for. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, leash requirements, and household rules. I always make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. In my client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I keep a clean environment, monitor behavior and health closely, and reach out right away if I notice anything out of the ordinary. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind. My goal is always to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel cared for and owners feel confident leaving them in my care.

I could tell my dog Zara really enjoyed Amy’s company during our meet and greet. I highly recommend Amy as she showed genuine affection and care for Zara since she is a senior dog and has a hard time walking. Moreover, the photos and detailed updates she sent while I was away were greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Amy as she demonstrated she was responsible and attentive to all my dog’s needs.

Cannot thank you enough for willingness to help us with our odd, very last minute request. You were fantastic with Boomer, kind, friendly, had great suggestions and gave us great updates. The pics you sent and care (and snuggles) you gave are incredibly appreciated! We were so relieved we left him with such a caring and experienced caregiver. Thank you for being so responsive and a life saver! If you are ever in Denver please say hello! 😊
