Lisa was amazing with our three big rescue dogs! She was very communicative, caring and patient. All of our pups were very relaxed and content with Lisa, who clearly has a gift with animals.

Katharine and her daughter were fantastic! They took the time to really understand our dog’s daily care and feeding routine, they were in contact with pictures and messages every day while we gone, and everything looked just as we had left it when we returned. Best of all it was obvious they both truly love animals, and I know they showered our fur baby with love while we were away. Highly recommend!

My puppy had abdominal surgery and required more care than usual - more potty breaks, more feed times, meds given several times, including eye drops! Ashley did a great job taking care of him throughout the day and overnight! Would recommend

About: Growing up on a hobby farm gave me experience with,and love for, a wide range of animals. I have a great deal of experience with cats and dogs, but also a long list of farm and exotic animals. In my circle, I tend to be the person that people call for help or knowledge with their fur babies. I am experienced and comfortable administering oral, topical, inhaled, and injected medications. I am well versed in first aid/wound care and am CPR certified. I own my own business so I am able to be flexible with my hours to accommodate all of my clients and their fur babies needs. Attention to detail and communication is important to me. So when I am caring for a furry family member in your home or out on a walk I am sure to follow all direction given. In addition, I will always provide you with updates and check ins on how your fur baby is doing.

Our dogs loved being with Victoria while we were away on a trip! It was our first time having someone watch them in our house, but it went really smoothly and the daily updates provided us with the peace of mind that they were doing well. We would love to have her watch our dogs the next time we are away!

About: I’m an animal lover, and being away from my sister’s pup, I love to take care of animals whenever I can! I have taken care of a wide range of dogs including those needing oral medication, caring for dogs who are older, blind, and deaf. I have also dogsat for dogs on the other side of the spectrum that need multiple walks a day and are full of energy! I’m currently a full time student at CSU, so I would ideally love to hang with your pups on the weekends! I can also be available during the week, but I will be bouncing between class and ensuring your dog gets all the care they need. I grew up with a dog in the house who was a rescue pup and crate-trained! I prefer to be home as much as I can with clients’ dogs and taking them on runs or walks. I’m also totally down to relax with your pup (especially the older ones), really whatever they need!

Justin was great for us! He sent us some pictures and we felt confident that our animals were being well cared for. We would definitely search him out again when we need someone to stay with the animals at our house.

About: With over 4 years of dog sitting experience for multiple families, and nearly 2 years in pet hospitality, I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and varying health conditions! I have experience in safely administering medications to numerous dogs including oral medications as well as eye and ear treatments. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of needs! I am available throughout the week, including weekends, and can provide consistent supervision, exercise, feeding, and administer medication if required. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe pets are happiest in their familiar environment, so I work hard to maintain their normal schedule while you're away. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding, exercise, medication administration (such as oral medications, eye drops, and ear drops), and any special needs. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, providing attentive care, and plenty of affection to ensure both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you're apart.

About: I’ve had a dog for 6 years and have always loved being around animals. I’m experienced with daily care including feeding, walks, playtime, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable. I’m dependable, patient, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I recently graduated college and have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for and spend time with pets. I’m available for walks and drop-ins during weekdays. I am available for pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Because I have cared for my own dog for 6 years, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable. I always make sure pets have fresh water, attention, exercise, and a calm environment. I’ll follow any routines or instructions closely and treat your pets like they’re my own.
