“I had forgotten to pay a past due water bill before leaving the country. At some point, Morgan noticed a red-tag shut-off notice on my door, and was thoughtful enough to alert me to a potentially problematic situation. I appreciate her taking the initiative here. I could tell that my cat, Teepah, warmed up to her right away. Much appreciated!”
“Alexis was wonderful to have in our home caring for our 2 cats. It was great not having to worry while we were away because we absolutely trusted Alexis would care for our cats just as we would have ourselves. Alexis was great with communications and picture updates that gave us great peace of mind! Alexis is great to work with and would definitely recommend her for a booking!”
“AMAZING SITTER!! Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a kind, caring, and detailed pet sitter. We were looking for a relatively last-minute holiday sitter, and Mikayla responded promptly. She sent us pictures throughout the visit, letting me know my pets were in great hands. I greatly appreciate her dedication!”
“Ann was an excellent care giver for our cat. We got reports and photos twice a day, and could see that Ann was able to win over our shy and skittish kitty within a couple of visits. Ann is also very responsive and easily and kindly adapted to our travel schedule, which changed a couple of times because of flight cancellations. I would definitely recommend Ann.”
“Emily was so easy to work with! She always responded to my messages right away and sent photos at each visit. She was even willing to give ear medication to my cranky senior cat. I would definitely have Emily take care of my pet again!”
“I am so grateful that I didn't have to worry about my kitten while on vacation. Tawasi took great care of my little one including medication and sent lots of pictures. She also responded to all messages within 20 mins.”
About: I grew up with animals around the house, we have dogs cats, chickens, turtles and fish! Learning how to care for animals correctly, was an important thing in my house. I started dog walking and pet sitting in early high school, and have done it ever since! I will take amazing care of your little critters and can’t wait to meet you both! I am very open, especially in mornings and evenings, and work well off of a set routine. I will be able to fit you and your pets needs into my schedule I treat my pets and my clients pets with the same amount of love and respect as I would give my own children. I can walk dogs and feed any pets and be a companion for pets while you’re away for the day, weekend, or month!
“Nayeli was super flexible and provided excellent care for our cats. She was friendly and caring, and her place was clean. She did her absolute best to make sure our fur babies were as comfortable outside of their home as they could be. I’d rate her 10/5 stars if I could.”
About: I have taken care of all breeds and sizes of dogs, trained and untrained. I currently have a working Dutch shepherd “Thirza” who I do competitive obedience and Shutzhund with. Give me a shout and let me know what you need! I work as a big game guide in the spring and fall, so my summer and winter months are totally open. All day everyday I can make whatever time/ days work. I throughly believe in a good “on” and “off” switch for dogs. Knowing when to expend energy is very valuable. If I’m doing home visits or walking your furry friend I will keep my energy very calm and maintain that good inside behavior. Until we get out then we can play, train and walk hard!
“Emily did a fantastic job taking care of my two senior horses while I was out town. They required medication and special feed, and she handled it with ease. She was very professional and reliable, and the horses seemed well-cared-for and happy upon return. Thank you!”
“Darcy was one of the best Sitters I’ve had while using this Rover. I provided her clear instructions and she was able to carefully and accurately execute all of my requests whenever asked. She also went above and beyond and informed me whenever she was unclear or unsure of something. If I ever needed anything else performed or my cat had a medical issue she informed me of the issue and completed the necessary steps to make sure my cat was safe and not stressed. I will definitely be booking her again and would recommend her services to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 8 years old! I have been pet sitting for the same 6 families for about 5 years now. I love all types of dogs and have a ton of energy to play with your pet! I only have 3 night classes this year so I am VERY available and open whenever! I will be in Fort Collins for at least the next 8 months so I will be great for long term and short term care! I have experience crating dogs when necessary and have a massive back yard to let your furry friend run around! I will be sure to check all gates are locked when we take your pet outside to ensure they are safely kept!
About: I’ve had pets since early childhood and it’s a passion of mine to care and love for them. I’ve had both dogs and cats but I specialize in dogs. I believe regardless of age, ability/disability a pet deserves unconditional love and care. I currently work a part time job so I have a lot of time in the day to check on, play, or walk your pets. I can usually fit my schedule to best accommodate to yours My level of care depends on the owners preference. I’m very adaptable but I strongly believe in making sure a pet is comfortable around me before applying my style of care.
“Jesse is fantastic. My cat is not fond of other people, he hides and does not eat well. Jesse was able to get him to come out to her and interact with her. We thank you for the love you showed our family. We loved the pictures you sent and the updates we recievwd while we were away. Thank you Jesse.”
About: We had a golden retriever and he was a joy in our home. I'd like to have a dog, but our cat is to uncomfortable with dogs around. Being with your dog will get me that dog fix! I need to get back to walking every day, and walking a dog will help with this. We can exercise together. Getting them outside is key. I do not have a yard where I could keep a dog at my home. I am willing to come to your house so your dogs routine won't change.
About: Over the years I’ve babysat a lot of dogs (and many other types of pets). I love animals and love being active. So walking, hiking, and playing with fur babies makes my day! Growing up I had a dog that had a seizure disorder and I took care of him for 7 years. Specialized pet care for health conditions is something I am accustomed too! I am a college student on wsu campus, that being said my schedule allows for me to have 2-4 hour breaks in between my classes. My weekly schedule is up to change so please contact me directly with availability questions! I am a full believer in your customized pet care. Let me know your pets routine and lifestyle. Give me your personalized instructions on how you would like me to care for your pet and it is done!

Claire W.
“Claire has had a deep love for animals ever since she was a child, and that compassion has only grown stronger over the years. She has hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, whether it's walking, feeding, playing, or just giving them some extra love and attention. As someone who knows Claire well (I also happen to be her father!), I can say with confidence that she’s incredibly responsible and attentive. She treats her own pets like family, and I have no doubt she would show that same care and dedication to any dog or cat she’s entrusted with. If you're looking for someone who’s trustworthy, kind, and truly enjoys being around animals, Claire is an excellent choice.”

Nicholas H.
“Nicholas was absolutely fantastic with our two dogs, Piper and Finn! It was clear that he genuinely loves and understands dogs. Piper can be a bit shy with new people, and Finn has endless energy, but Nick managed to connect with both of them effortlessly. He kept us regularly updated, showing us how happy the doggos were during their stay. It gave us a ton of reassurance knowing they were in such great hands! When we got back, Piper and Finn were both happy and healthy! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Nik to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog sitter! 🐾 Thank you, for taking such great care of Piper and Finn, and we’ll definitely be booking with you again.”
