About: I've cared for my own sweet dog for the last 10 years, and before that our family owned dogs throughout my childhood. I also have experience caring for other people's dogs, mostly overnight care. I currently have an extremely flexible schedule, and can make most days/times work. I also live in the Gunbarrel area, so can easily access Boulder/Niwot/Gunbarrel. I prioritize safety through secure leash handling, checking gates/doors are properly closed, and maintaining constant supervision during walks. I build trust by following your pet's specific routine, providing regular updates with photos, and respecting your home and belongings. For environmental care, I always clean up after your dog, stay on designated walking routes, and ensure your pet gets fresh water before and after walks. I'm attentive to weather conditions and will adjust walk duration accordingly. Your peace of mind is my priority and I treat every pup as if they were my own! I can stay within your own neighborhood if you're more comfortable with that, or I can take your dog in my own neighborhood (behind King Soopers off Lookout Rd).
“Maggie was an amazing sitter for me and my girlfriend. She looked after our cat Mio, and I knew right away he loved her. She was very kind and professional and knew exactly how to care for my boy. She genuinely put in the effort to make sure my cat got the attention and care it needed and made she he was looked after. She was also very flexible with anything I needed and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a sitter.”
About: I have been taking care of pets for over 20 years, watching them for friends and family as well as taking great care of my own family fur babies. I have a park nearby in a safe neighborhood so your fur baby will get lots of exercise. I am also available to watch them in your home if you prefer. I am currently working part time from home so I am conveniently available days, nights, weekends or whatever is needed to fit your busy schedule. I have a fenced small yard, plenty of areas to walk and play close by, and my house is clean, childproof and safe for pets.
“Elizabeth was such a great cat sitter for our girlies! She went above and beyond to keep them company and also keeping us up to date on how everything was going. We are excited to have found such a great cat sitter!”
About: lifelong dog mom. Experience in training, running, caring for all size dogs. Specialize in avoiding conflict with other dogs in the wild. Guaranteed safe and fun excursions. Yes i will run with your dog if they need some extra exercise. I have a flexible schedule, therefore can be available to relieve and/or exercise your dog while you're away. Specialize in early morning and evening walks/runs, but can be available when you need me. I have a fully fenced in yard and keep a baby gate separating house levels. My dog, Hondo, lives with me. He is 9 and a sweet 50# lab. He literally gets along with all dogs.
“Kristen is so great with our special needs dog! Bindi really struggles with tolerating the presence of people; she’s incredibly fearful. But Kristen has been so patient and gentle, and we’re so grateful for the progress Bindi has made with her.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life! Growing up with both dogs and cats gave me a deep love and understanding of their unique needs and personalities. From daily walks and feeding routines to playtime and cuddles, I’ve always taken an active role in caring for pets. A few years ago, I adopted a cat of my own from the humane society, and she’s been living a happy (and very pampered!) life ever since. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands, and I’ll care for yours with the same attention and love I give my own. Im currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pet; weather that be lots of play time, long walks, or endless pets! There's a fenced dog park in my apartment complex for play time and lots of nearby trails for walks! I have multiple scratching posts and tons of toys to enrich your cat! I also have a decent sized space for them to roam around in!
“Emitt took wonderful care of our dog! We came back to a happy tail wagging furball! Our dog is high energy and muscle dense plus allergic to most proteins. Emitt was completely comfortable with our dog and followed all the instructions we left without a hitch (and then some!). We are so grateful for the care they gave our pup and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter. :D”
“Samantha was amazing with my cat, Nori! She dropped in twice a day and always kept me updated with entertaining photos and detailed notes. If I ever had questions, she always responded immediately and was flexible to help me. Nori warmed up to Samantha quickly, and I could tell she was well cared for. She is very knowledgeable and comfortable with cats. I highly recommend Samantha as a reliable and thoughtful sitter with a kind spot for all animals!”
“Annie did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my two cats. Not only that, she helpfully watered my sister's plants and took my trash back in after pick up day. When I came home, my cats seemed well fed and happy. Annie was so sweet in calming my worries about leaving my cats alone. She assured me all would be well, which helped me enjoy my time away without stressing that my cats would not be okay. I will ABSOLUTELY use Annie as a sitter the next time I need one. HIGHLY recommend.”
