“Kayli went above and beyond and made my dogs feel safe and comfortable. She is a great sitter and I definitely trust my dogs are well taken care of with her. She sent lots of pictures throughout and checked in a bunch which was really nice. 😊”

“Hanna took such great care of our dogs while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our trip knowing they were safe and happy at home. She was thoughtful, dependable, and clearly cares about the animals she looks after. We never had to worry about them for a moment. We are incredibly grateful for her help and would happily have her watch our dogs again.”

“This is the second time Jessica has watched our pup and we once again had a wonderful experience. She was great about sending us pics and updates while we were a way and we came home to a happy dog! We’re so grateful for the care and attention she shows our dog. It gives us great peace of mind knowing she’s well taken care of.”

“Jamie was amazing! She took our pups on adventures, sent daily updates, and was super easy to communicate with while we were out of town. I have a special needs dog and Jamie took amazing care of her! I will absolutely use Jamie again when we go on vacation this fall, she’s exceptional and your pets will LOVE her!”

“Kayla was wonderful with our very anxious lab. Lila warmed up to her after only a little while, which is unusual for her. Kayla was communicative and responsive and sent us daily pics. We came home to a happy dog and the house was as clean as we left it. Would definitely use Kayla again to dog/house sit!”

About: I’m good with all kinds of animals, dog, cat, whatever! Whether or not your little friend is a troublemaker, shy, aggressive, or well-behaved, I know how to handle em all with love, care, and patience. I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12, so I have all the basics down - making it even easier to specialize care for your sweet pet. I’m consistent and reliable. It’s rare that I turn down an opportunity to spend time with animals, I love them so dearly. I pet sit/ cat sit / dog sit after work during the week. I really enjoy the opportunity to build in animal care into my day! I’m always very gentle and patient. I’m very cognizant of the fact animals can’t help a lot of difficult behaviors, so I tend not to get irritated with them. I can even do some training, I only use positive re-enforcement training methods. I like to go the long mile taking care of animals, I feel like they deserve so much happiness for how much good they bring into our own lives. I love to take dogs on extra long walks than they would usually get, and play until they are all done playing for the day. Same goes for cats!
“Makayla took such great care of our Golden, Mack! She was very responsive and kept us updated on how the weekend was going. She was very respectful of our home and I think Mack had a great time. Would definitely have Makayla watch him again in the future!”

“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Hunter! From the very beginning he was professional, friendly, and responsive. He offered to come by beforehand so we could meet and feel comfortable, something we really appreciated. He is truly one of the nicest people we’ve met, and he took exceptional care of our two dogs during our 10-day trip. Hunter went above and beyond in every way. We came home to happy, well-cared for pups and a peaceful house. I can honestly say I’ve never felt so stress-free leaving our dogs and home in someone else’s care. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we can fully trust. We will absolutely be booking Hunter anytime we go out of town. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of many animals from dogs and cats to chinchillas and lizards. I love taking care of all creatures (even the ones others don’t). Currently I have my own dog, a chinchilla, a chameleon, bearded dragons, and a snake. I have daily, weekly, and monthly tasks for all of them. I have an older pup (she is 21). She gets along with other dogs and likes to play. I also occasionally watch my parent’s dog who is 5. I can separate animals if needed as well. I have a garage, yard, and multiple floors
“Paul was amazing with our stay-at-home pups! Both dogs felt right at home with him at the house and we felt great knowing he was caring for them while we were away. Great with sending pictures and communicating questions. We feel fortunate to have found you, Paul!”

“Christian house sat for us for an entire week and took wonderful care of our fur children! He was quick to respond and able to accommodate some last minute requests such as giving our dogs their heartworm preventative. We returned to a house that was cleaner than how we left it. He is a gem!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 7 years and have experience caring for both young and senior dogs of many different breeds. I’m comfortable providing short or long walks based on each dog’s needs and energy level. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every dog like family. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently work 4 days a week but have a lunch break where I’m able to check in on pets if needed. I’m available for drop-in visits on Wednesdays and weekends, and I’m happy to provide consistent, attentive care during those times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or litter box care, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s personality. I also keep the home clean and respect all instructions regarding feeding, medications, and house rules.
“Dani was fantastic! Communicative before and during her stay, provided updates about how our pup was doing (he's a puppy and this was our first time away from him), and sent photos. We will definitely be booking with her again.”


“Lila did a great job taking care of our crazy sweet German shepherd. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay and I had no doubts my dog was being well taken care of! She even stayed longer with him due to flight delays and made sure we were boarded on our way back to Denver before leaving. Will definitely work with her again in the future. Thanks Lila!”

“Alisha is great! She is attentive to my pup’s needs, and I can tell she really cares. Alisha communicates very well and is very easy to work with. Highly recommend!”


“Lauren was wonderful! I came home after a week away to a perfectly clean home and happy dogs. She sent photos daily, communicated effectively, and I couldn’t be happier.”

Makayla did a great job watching our two dogs while we were away. She followed all of our instructions for the dogs and the house, was very communicative, and was flexible and accommodating throughout the stay. When we got back, the house was clean, and she even washed the bedding! We would definitely have her watch our dogs again.

Hanna took such great care of our dogs while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our trip knowing they were safe and happy at home. She was thoughtful, dependable, and clearly cares about the animals she looks after. We never had to worry about them for a moment. We are incredibly grateful for her help and would happily have her watch our dogs again.

Colleen was excellent in loving on our little ones and they seemed very happy when we came back. She sent the perfect amount of questions, updates and we could tell she really cared about making our babies comfortable. Would book her again instantly unless all the rest of you fill up her schedule first 😜

Savannah is my new hero dog sitter. Not only did she take Elmo on long hikes…the kind that dogs love and we love because they are exhausted…but my place was spotless when I returned. I got plenty of updates with pictures and video. I will definitely be asking Savanah to watch Elmo again.

Kim was wonderful to work with. During our screening process she made her self available and answer all of our questions in advance to help us feel comfortable leaving our dog and home in her hands. During her stay, she was an excellent communicator and everything went very smooth. Kim also cleaned up very well after herself. We would happily work with her again!

Lila was an incredibly conscientious and professional pet and house sitter for us! She completed our necessarily complex instructions to the letter and everything was perfect when we returned. You won't be disappointed with her and we will, of course, use her again!
Kayla was wonderful with our very anxious lab. Lila warmed up to her after only a little while, which is unusual for her. Kayla was communicative and responsive and sent us daily pics. We came home to a happy dog and the house was as clean as we left it. Would definitely use Kayla again to dog/house sit!

Our anxious dog was a little nervous since we’d been gone two whole weeks, but otherwise they seemed great! Clearly well taken care of while we were gone - fresh litter and left with toys until our arrival. They’ve settled down now that we’re back to normal! Donovan did a great job taking care of them.

Emira took such great care of Remy while I was away. She consistently sent pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind, and her communication was excellent, she kept me updated on everything going on. She also went above and beyond by leaving my apartment very clean and even washing all the laundry she used, which I really appreciated. I have already booked her again!
