House Sitting in Hotchkiss

“Kriz was amazing! She was so lovely when we met before my trip, and she came through at the very last minute when my other sitter bailed. She sent me regular photos and updates every day, and I could tell my cats were so happy with her, even though they can be shy at first. She followed directions perfectly, played and cuddled with the kitties a lot, and left my house in amazing condition. It was far cleaner than when I had left for my trip, she truly went above and beyond! I would not hesitate to book with her again in the future. Thank you, Kriz!”

“You want Clarissa to watch your animals! We have 2 dogs, both of which aren’t the easiest going all the time—She was amazing with them and took great care of our house as well. The best!”

“Cheyenne dogsat for Violet at my house for two nights, and took such good care of my girl! She was in frequent communication, sending photos and updates. She was prompt, followed all of my instructions and Violet warmed up to her very quickly. I am sure I will be booking her again soon!”

“Spencer took great care of Sora. I came back home to a happy and tired dog. Spencer respected our space and kept our place near and tidy. Received various updates throughout the day. I highly recommend booking with Spencer!”

“Jessica was a perfect match for our extremely hyper dog. As far as dog and house sitting she went beyond the call of duty! I never worried once about my dog’s wellbeing. I will use her again and ask for her in the future. She is very easy to work with. When she was leaving my dog bolted out the front door. Even though she was off duty and leaving she stayed and walked the neighborhood, found the dog and brought her home. I trusted her and will trust her again with my house and my fur baby! She is priceless!”

“Rachael B. visited with us before our trip, meeting our dog and cats and learning their routines. And she was patient and responsive when our travel plans changed. She sent photos while we were away, which was reassuring. Our high-energy dog was tired when we got home, hooray! We know he enjoyed the walks and playtime. Thank you!”

“Andi was amazing! Took such good care of our two pups and our home. Kept in touch with us and sent pics and even called to make sure it was OK to give one a benadryl when she was stung by a bee. We will definitely use Andi in the future!”

“Kat is the most reliable pet sitter and walker I know. She has over a decade of experience working in the veterinary field. So if an emergency were to happen I trust her completely in knowing what is needed. From being a vet tech and beyond, Kat takes responsibility and takes extra consideration to the needs of pets and their humans. I can guarantee clear communication and all needs met with her. I've seen her walk with my dogs and she is grounded instilling confidence with my dogs when other dogs approach. Traveling without my furry babies is scary but with them under Kats care I know they're physically safe and more importantly loved as if I never left.”

“Lynn cared for my dog for about a month and she was very attentive to his needs, whether he was up fir a walk or feeling tired and just needing cuddles and attention. You can tell Lynn really loves animals and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care knowing he was going to not only be happy with her but that he would be in good hands.”

About: I've been caring for animals since I was about 11. At gatherings, I'm usually off playing with the animals Lol I have experience in training dogs, I worked in an animal shelter before (and I loved it!) I'm currently available almost any time, so I will have plenty of time to come play with and tend to your animals! Let me know what you need 😊 Services include feeding, watering, bathing & brushing, giving medications, walking, and of course giving loves! I love to send pet parents pictures of our adventures, keeping you updated on your fur babies is included!

“Dario is a perfect match for our Husky, Boris. I needed to travel overnight for work and had not left Boris overnight unattended before. I was having a difficult time to find someone that wanted to go on long walks. Dario walked Boris 7 miles the first day and 4 miles the morning before I returned, WOW! He sent pictures, watered plants and spent the night on the daybed cuddling with our dog. I am so glad we met him and will use him next time we travel. Thank you!”

“Tiffany was fantastic! I highly recommend her and her services! My doggies loved having her around!”

“I am so thankful to Laura for her overnight care of my two animals. She was responsive, intuitive and provided regular updates and photos. One of my cats has a neuro disorder which has resulted in severe separation anxiety episodes making it stressful for me when I have to leave. For the first time, he was so calm and happy when I returned which is no doubt a testament to Laura's loving and attentive care. Highly recommended!”

“Rebecca is an animal lover who will love on your pet! She is really gentle and kind with them. She has watched my dog several times and always makes sure he gets the exercise he needs. Thank you, Rebecca!”

“Matthew is amazing with dogs, special needs kiddos, and video games!!! I would highly recommend him to any of my clients and all of my friends.”

“Ally is incredibly attentive and caring. She sat for our two kids and our puppy and all three were well cared for. Couldn't say enough great things about her and her ability to treat our family as her own.”

“Gabrielle was amazing with Athena. I was nervous about leaving her with someone but Gabrielle came to our house twice before we left to meet Athena and make sure she was comfortable. Athena loved her so much and we got pictures every day. We will definitely book again”

About: I've dog and cat sat since I was a teenager, sometimes staying in folks' homes for periods of time, sometimes coming over several times a day for walks etc. In recent years dogs have been increasingly fun for me to spend time with especially outdoors. I don't currently live somewhere where I can have my own dog, or dog sit at my home, but I have really been wanting to spend more time with them still, since I can't have my own! I grew up with cats too and love all their quirks and special qualities. I work seasonal jobs, and sometimes have more time in chunks, and sometimes closer to where I currently live (out of my airstream trailer) I could do day-time care here and there. Mainly though, house sitting would work for me since I often travel to do photography, or gather herbs to make medicine, since I work with wild plants a lot. I'm a botanist, ethnobotanist and ecology educator so I'm out on the trail and in the field a lot. Dogs could come along sometime if it fits with location, needs etc. I can't host in my home right now because the landowners don't want dogs. If I were in someone else's home, it would be my main purpose to make sure they feel comfortable and their needs met with a stranger who is new to them. Walks, bathroom breaks, food and play! Whatever their schedule usually is, I likely could accomadate.

“Azul has lovingly taken care of my dog, Frankie, my 2 kitties, and my flock of chickens. She always goes over and above by doing things that I forget to mention or doing activities that make my dog happy. When taking care of my animals she clearly loves them as if they were her own. Azul seems to truly enjoy going on adventures with my dog. I highly recommend Azul.”
