Pet Sitting Larkspur

“Even though she hardly saw my cats while doing the drop-in visits, she kept me informed with 'rare sighting' pictures and let me know that they were coming out when she was not there and cleaning their bowls.”

“Our first experience with Rover couldn't have been better and it's all thanks to Dezarae! We really appreciated the updates and pictures every time she checked on our turtle & elderly cat while we were on vacation. They both seem to warm up to Dezarae quickly and we'd highly recommend using her to pet/house sit! We'll definitely be asking her to come back whenever we leave town from now on!”

About: I am a seasoned, responsible, gregarious, fun-loving cat/dog lady with full day availability and weekends to take care of your pet needs like they were my own. I get up with my puppy everyday feed and play a game with then take him on a morning walk. If I run some errands, he is crate trained (by me) and has some quiet time but when I get home, we normally take another walk and play a game in the backyard that requires him to run around. I also take him out multiple times a day for potty breaks. I live on a one-acre property with a fenced in yard. I have a 3 year old Labradoodle (Lincoln) with all his shots and he is very good and well socialized with other animals.

About: I grew up with dogs! I l have always been asked to watch a freinds dog or a family friend’s dog! I have plenty of experience with animals, I used to foster dogs and puppies, I did that for 2 years! I stay at home mostly all the time, I mainly do school, and take care of my dog or I clean up the house. I prefer it that way. I live in a very open house, nothing that animals would hurt themselves with around, a big fenced in backyard, tons of toys and plenty of food and water

“Nuestro perro es de buen corazón, pero no confía fácilmente y ha desarrollado reactividad hacia muchas cosas, incluidas las personas. Nos sorprendió muchísimo lo bien que funcionó la primera vez que nos conocimos. Estamos ilusionados de que Nikki siga cuidando de Kiwi para poder tener más flexibilidad.”

About: My love for animals is genuine. They've been a part of my life since childhood. I often pet sit for my friends and family alike. While being cared for in my home, our four legged friends will enjoy playing fetch, hide and seek, tug of war, and of course getting cuddles too. I welcome elderly dogs as well. I have experience in administering medications, assisting elderly dogs with walking issues, hip issues, along with the blind, and the deaf dogs; they are all welcome and well taken care of here. I do allow most dogs on some furniture with a blanket provided by the owner. However, I do not allow them in beds. * I only accept dogs from one family at a time, and I only can accommodate 2 dogs at once. *. (There is an increase in my rates during the Christmas and Thanksgiving Holidays, that differs from other Holidays.) I have an open calendar most of the time. I do not work outside the home, and I have plenty of time for your pets. All our four legged friends get spoiled in the house of Morris. I have a fenced yard. I live near several parks, and there are many trails around my neighborhood with 2 dog parks in the area. *I will only take them to the dog park with the owners approval.*

“Sharon was a great sitter for our kitties! She made sure to give them love and we received great updates from her.”

About: I am a self-sufficient, independent living in Monument, CO who has taken care of two amazing dogs for the past ten years. They are 75lb lab mixes. Since I have them, I prefer not using my home, but I am more than happy to do house visits. I have rescued and rehabilitated all my dogs with grace and patience. I adopted my third dog, a senior dog, Chloe when she was nine years old and cared for her until she passed last year at the age of 14. I strongly believe in being happy and healthy and my dogs as well as yours deserve the same. I am committed to giving your dog(s) the best treatment possible, I promise to love them as if they were my own! My hope is that my flexibility will allow pet owners to relieve some stress and get the help needed especially for the holiday season! I am currently working at a cardiology office Monday - Friday. I am available evening and weekends as needed. I am available weekends for overnight if requested. I always keep a close eye on my furry friends while they’re outside. I’m constantly monitoring for potential hazards, such as something they could injure themselves on, as well as the temperature outside. I always make sure to come prepared with a backpack that contains water and a bowl, as well as a small first aid kit, in case, either of us gets injured! I have some medical experience, and I can sometimes transfer that experience to my pets.

Pet care and pet history is something I have spent many years delving into. B) I grew up taking care of all types of animals but began officially pet sitting about 10 years ago. I have taken care of all kinds of pets; dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, snakes, Lizards, hermit crabs, and fish. I have also raised three litters of kittens. Every animal has their unique needs and personalities and I love getting to know each and every pet on a personal level.

I am eager to meet your special buddy and I am prepared to meet any care needs they might have.

I have the ability to give my attention completely to your furry or not-so-furry friends when we work together. I am comfortable with providing your pet's medication or care for injuries based on their personal needs. Any furry friends who enjoy hiking or long walks are always welcome to join me. During our meet and greet I like to learn as much as I can about your needs, questions, or concerns. My goal is to give your pets and you the vacations you deserve by making sure your best bud feels understood, avoiding unnecessary stress from missing you!

About: I grew up with a constant menagerie of pets. When I still lived in my hometown with my mom and dad, we had a farm with more than 10 dogs and 7 cats. My job everyday was to take care of them and feed them, and I spent a lot of time playing around with them too, while my mom and dad were working so I’m very comfortable around all types of animals. I’m also a stay-at-home wife, so without other concerns during the day, your critters get my full attention! I love dogs and cats and have never met one I didn’t like or even that didn’t like me. I love earning an animal’s trust, showing them love, that they can trust me, and making them comfortable in my home. I have also spent a lot of time around a big variety of different dog breeds as well, and know how to handle them all; their activity and energy level, general personality types and their needs. Also, I have some knowledge about the best animal nutrition practices and am mindful of that when caring for your critters. I am 23 years old, so still energetic enough to match the young ones and puppies, who are of course always full of energy and always in that adorable, excited mood, which is very welcome in my home. Besides walking, I’ve created some pretty fun games for dogs that can help burn up some energy too! With senior dogs, I know how to make them comfortable and maintain a calm, quiet and caring environment for them with lots of dog bed spread around the house. When you trust me to let me take care of your dogs, you absolutely don't have any problems to worry about. I can promise that your dogs will have the best care and always be free to be themselves without worry, stress, or fear in my home. I am a full-time housewife, so pet care IS my weekly routine! Besides the usual house chores, I have plenty of time to give full attention to your furry loved ones. All day long, every single day, you can drop off your dogs at my home (my husband is just as much of an animal love as I am, and a business owner, so if he’s off he’ll be just as happy to have them as guest as I am!). Your dogs are welcome to sleep over at our house every single day of the week, until you get back from business trips or vacations. Food, water, a bed to sleep in and freshly cleaned toys to play with between sittings; our home can be theirs whenever needed. I can be available three days per week to come to your house overnight to take care of your dogs in their own home if you wish, as long as our schedules line up. With food: If you give me any food for your dogs when you drop them at my home, I will follow any routine and recipe you have laid out, being considerate of diet issues. If you’re more relaxed about diet concerns and don’t mind me spoiling them a bit I might treat them to a rice, chicken or fish and olive oil treat, which is a veterinarian favorite for good canine health, and dogs always tend to love it! (I keep these on hand and their made with no seasonings or flavorings at all). However, make sure you give me any information about your dogs health, diet and allergy concerns, before hand. In the yard: I do have a yard with a fence where your dogs can run around and play a bit or relieve themselves, but I use it sparingly and usually just do walks outside. (I do not have any plants in the yard that can cause harm to dogs.) Parks and trails: From my home to the end of the road I live on, about a one minute walk, I have access to a park that I’ll sometimes take dogs to. If your dogs are sociable and you don’t have concerns with them having run ins with other dogs or children then they might gets some social time that way. Let me know if these are concerns and we will keep them at the house. If your dogs are not socialized, I can take them for walks on the trail away from others, or not. Just let me know. With environment: I have no children, no pets, so your dogs will not have to face any territorial or child terrorism issues of any kind. If you prefer, I can keep your dogs privately kenneled while with me or allow them freedom to move about the house and socialize with me. If you don't say anything, I prefer to give your dogs freedom to roam around in my home and lounge wherever they like. They are allowed to stay on the couch or the bed, which is fine with me, but if you have them trained not to, just let me know and I will stop them. If there are any other training concerns or restrictions, don’t hesitate to let me know and I will maintain those both firmly and gently!

“This was our first time leaving our 9 month old cat and we were nervous. However, Lisa was amazing! Her communication is great and we had no doubts that she was taking excellent care of Penny.”

About: I am a native to Colorado and love the outdoors. Growing up, I had a house of large dogs (mastiff's, huskies, newfoundlands, golden retrievers, shitzu's and chihuahuas). I am very familiar with most large and small breeds and their needs. We have a 1 year old neutered Yorkie and he loves new friends. Our family loves animals and we would love to sit with yours, love on them, take them on our adventures (walks), cuddle with them, play with them and make them feel very comfortable . We will take care of your babies the same way I take care of mine. Our day starts out with potty time at 5:00am and have breakfast. After breakfast, we will go on a quick (20 min) morning walk. There will be lots of time to play and nap throughout the day before dinner at 5:00p.m. After dinner, we go on another evening walk and then call it an evening. The animals are like our family members and are able to nap and get comfortable where they see fit. I have a fenced yard with 1 small dog. We go on daily walks, car rides and have lots of toys throughout the house. I have several years of experience working with animals and your animal will be in good hands.

“Thank you for the fast response and accommodating me last minute! Wonderful pictures and definitely made me at ease knowing that they are ok :) 10/10 will book again!”

“Mikaela was absolutely fantastic. Our dogs loved her from the get-go, and she went above and beyond to make sure they were comfy and well-taken care of while we were gone. Would 10/10 recommend her :)”
