1. Sarah J.

“We could not have wished for a better cat-sitter. Sarah took extra time keeping out cat company, dealt with some minor problems perfectly, and sent us images every day.”


2. Christine H.
“I frequently leave my dog, Laika, with Christine when going out of town. Christine is a wonderful and very active person, always taking Laika on hikes, walks, runs, or just playing in outside in her large backyard. I am always thrilled with the care Laika receives when she is with Christine and knowing that she is getting plenty of attention and exercise puts my mind at ease while I am gone. I highly recommend Christine to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring person to look after their pets.”


3. Sue B.
“Sue was great with the rabbits as well as in communicating with me. She even went out of her way to add an extra day last minute when I was in a pinch due to a cancelled holiday flight.”


4. Danielle D.

“Danielle is wonderful and I highly recommend her! She is conscientious, reliable, also takes amazing photos that are professional-photographer quality.”


5. Timo H.
“Timo watched my 1 year old Aussie, Avery, for 1 week. He was fantastic! I got pictures every day and updates on everything I requested (eating, bathroom, play, etc). He followed my instruction for administering medicine and was the perfect host to my dog. He’s extremely friendly and took great care of Avery! I’d use Timo again in a heartbeat to watch my dog (or cat)!”


6. Annie W.

“Annie is an amazing pet sitter, she cared for my two cats while we were away for a week. All around she was great and took the best care of them. She's a great communicator, and very caring and thoughtful. I highly recommend her services.”


7. Kristen S.

8. Emitt T.
“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”

13. Elizabeth M.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and am looking forward to getting to meet your pups! We have a energetic 8 y/o lab that loves to play. I have experience working with different sized dogs with different needs (medication, training, difficulty walking on leash, etc). I work from home full time so I am around to meet any of your pups needs! My schedule can revolve around your pet as much as it needs to! I have an energetic lab to keep your pup company in a one level, ground floor apartment (mobility issue friendly). We live in a quiet neighborhood next to the twin lakes where we love to go for walks.


14. Mary P.

“Mary was so helpful with dropping in 2x a day to take care of our two cats. It was great to see the check in photos. We appreciated the quick communication when one of our cats potentially had an issue. We would be happy to ask Mary to pet sit again!”

17. Robert Hunter R.
About: I have been in the dog world for most of my life. I grew up with a champion English cocker spaniel and had a litter of puppies. I had to bathe and take care of the puppies as well as the dogs. I have been a dog groomer since 2010. I have worked at petco and have owned my own dog grooming business for since 2017. I hope to meet some cute dogs and help out some people who can’t be with the dogs during the day or while on vacation. If you need your dog to be groomed before you return then we can arrange that as well. I have a business but would like to help out when possible. I live in gunbarrel near boulder and can be made available if agreed upon. I live in a condo but we have amble trails to take long walks. If I come to your home I can do whatever is helpful within reason.


18. Maggie W.

“Maggie has taken care of my cat several times, and I feel so much better being away when I know she's around. She's a great communicator, and very patient. She always makes sure that my cat is happy, comfortable, and healthy.”


19. Samantha R.

“Samantha was great!!! My cat really felt comfortable around her and the photos were much appreciated.”


20. Kimberly M.


“In our long conversation when I got home, Zeus gave me a full debrief of the walk. He felt it was a good "test run" of your upcoming stay with him. I concur.”
