Pet Sitting in Idaho Springs

About: * I have my awesome toddler son with me on sits that is also wonderful with animals! He takes pride in our daily routines of caring for our furry friends. It is a must that your fur babes are sweet enough around kids too, and well trained for walks :).* I have had pets my whole life and always prefer to be surrounded by them! It is extremely rare if I cannot connect with someone's pet, or even a stray on the street! I've pet sit dogs, cats, small furries on and off my whole life and even love to take care of homesteads with horses, chickens, goats, plants, etc! I love taking animals out into nature on new adventures! In Colorado, my cats and dogs ventured out on safe harnessed hikes with me in the mountains and loved every bit of tapping back in to their primal instincts! We had a blast no matter the weather!! I live a very health conscious life, and treat my animals as my kids. Your pets are sure to be in the best loving, fun, caring, and health focused hands! I don’t have any pets for the first time in my life, so having animals to care for & hang out with is such therapy! Not to mention, this is such an amazing way to still care for my son and to share the love and passion I have for all animals!! We go on walk adventures often. We spend plenty of time outside observing and getting to know our natural surroundings, and love spending even more time playing & exploring alongside the animals!

About: I have been petsitting since 2014, as of recently taking a break from my full time corporate job. I have open availability for whatever you have in mind - for the same cost of a kennel or less, your dog can stay in his environment while you are away, with plenty of company/outside time/exercise as you see fit. Happy to take long walks if needed. Your pup is also welcome to stay in my home if you’d prefer as long they are ok with other dogs/cats! Open availability, full time care. If housesitting I’m happy to spend majority of day with your pets, however will need to leave a few hours of day to take care of my own. I have a fully fenced in wooded yard and two of my own dogs who are ready to play. They are supervised at all times if outside.

“Emily was fantastic with my cat Crembo. Sent photos of them playing and gave him so much love. Plus, she brought in a package that had been left at my garage, thank you!!”

“We love Robyn! She takes wonderful care of our babies, and we will be hiring her more often, now that we have a trusted sitter in the area. She’s communicative, thorough, loves all animals and puts in the extra effort. Traveling is so much easier when you have someone you can rely on. Thank you Robyn!”

“I am so happy to have found Clare. My little corgi mix is very anxious around new people but Clare took her time with Doobie and they got along great! She is very knowledgeable and caring.”

“Izzy was very attentive to my cat and went above and beyond on her visit times. She updated me often with pics and texts and made me feel secure that everything was well taken care of.”

Christina W.

“Melody is awesome! She is great with our Bernie boy! She always communicates with us quickly, arrives on time, and gives our dog dinner, potty break, and lots of loving! We love her!”

Jordyn W.

“I am SO glad I selected Jordan to provide care for our 2 elderly cats. She came to the house twice a day, fed them, administered medication, cleaned litter boxes and even took photos! It was such a relief to know our 2 old girls were in good hands. We couldn’t have had a more responsible, friendly person assume this responsibility. Thank you Jordan!”

Linda T.

“Leah is always amazing when she watches my crazy heeler, Chester when I work long shifts! She has been very flexible about scheduling drop in visits and always lets me know how the visit went. As an added bonus, her dog Aspen is super friendly (and after asking permission and doing a meet and greet), she sometimes brings her dog with her, which gives my dog some socialization and play time! I am totally comfortable trusting her with my pooch and know he's in good hands.”

About: What makes me unique is that I've always loved and cared for dogs. I am a graduate of obedience school. I lost my dog and need dog love so your pets will be well loved in your absence. Caring for your fur babies would be my main priority. Your dog(s) would be cared for in your home. I can ensure that your dog(s) are comfortable, provide physical contact by petting them, and speak to them with my soothing voice. I would provide them with exercise, sit beside their dog bed while resting so they know they aren't alone, let them play when inspired, and provide a calming presence in your absence. Dogs instinctively know I'm a loving person, especially when they are missing their family. Your fur baby would be safe while you're away and very loved. My car is reliable with good tires to get to your home for a house sit, a walk or a joy ride to Big R for a bone. I enjoy talking to dogs as I truly believe they understand. Also, I'm a big hiker surrounded by trails and could take your dogs outside for fresh air and exercise. If your dog needs assistance with obedience on leash, I can help knowing your special commands. I'm open to senior dogs who need extra love with meds or special needs.

“M. Was able to get my nervous dog out on the first visit. She sent great updates.”

Amy C.

“Jackie is great! She takes excellent care of our two puppies several times a week. She drops by and let's them out to go potty mid-day, pays them a little attention, and our dogs love her.”

Claudia R.

“Dylan was wonderful. He was always on time for his check in’s and my kitty loved him. Dylan took the time to give Simba affection and played with him a ton. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“Hillary is wonderful!! Very reliable always! She has helped me out several times to care for my pets and house . I Highly recommend ! She is very good at communicating and going above and beyond- Thank you!!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Specifically with dogs mostly, cats, and some experience with birds and even bearded dragons. Any specialty care requires a solid schedule so as to maintain pets safety and wellness. I currently house and pet sit for multiple people in my life and figured I’d branch out and love some more animals. I haves degree in I.T. But I’ve learned animals are most often better than people. I schedule most days that I’m free around pet sitting. I’ve blessed to be able to love and care for pets to give them back to their owners in their best and happiest states. My home is very structured with only a few floors of mobility, as I block certain parts of my house of for pet safety. If I’m a guest in other peoples homes I learn their routine and limitations and enforce any rules or routines based off the owners schedule.

“Heather did such a great job taking care of our two kitties. She was very good at keeping them happy and also went above and beyond bringing in packages and cleaning up! We highly recommend Heather :)”

Meghan K.

“Kimberly is very attentive and responsive. She was willing to meet me beforehand on short notice. She is very thorough in her stays and makes sure to keep you up to date even when the app is lagging. She is super friendly and you can tell she really enjoys meeting new pets! I would definitely rebook with Kimberly!”

About: I’ve taken care of kids and animals my whole life because I love providing love and care to all living things! I enjoy taking pets on walks, engaging them with their toys, and of course giving them some good pats and scratches :) I work remotely and have the flexibility in my schedule to match the routines you keep with your fur babies. Taking a break from work to go on a walk, play fetch, or give some pats & scratches is my favorite! Any pet in my care will be getting the VIP treatment where attention, playtime, and affection are concerned. I used to be a teacher, and from my time managing classes of over 35 middle schoolers and their art supplies, I am a very flexible, detail oriented person, who follows instructions closely which would translate well into specific care needs for any pet. You tell me what your pet needs and I will make it happen at a high quality!

About: "I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets..." I am currently working part-time , so I have plenty of time and energy to care for and give special attention to your loving pets . When it comes to safety I lead the pack . I'm currently not watching pets in my home , just have my own pets in my home .

“Stephanie came out to let my dogs out & then on a 2nd visit the same day took them for a walk and gave them dinner. She was fantastic with the dogs, and followed all instructions perfectly! 1 of my dogs is deaf and the other is reactive with other dogs and she did great with them.”
