“Sunny was great! She was very kind and sent updates. She made herself available and was very professional when my cat threw up while she was there. Definitely recommend her!”
“Mel did such a great job at making sure my fur baby was taken care of while I was away! With the few instructions I gave him, my kitty was all set and looked after and I felt at ease the entire time I was away! Especially with all the pictures!!! Thanks so much Mel !!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Jessica took such wonderful care of our cat during drop-in visits and truly went above and beyond what we expected. Her communication was exceptional she sent updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. You could tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter.”
About: I’ve been looking after dogs and cats since I can remember. I grew up in the UK in a house full of animals. I would look after neighbours dogs in my spare time and have always loved meeting and caring for dogs and cats young and old. I’m currently working part time and wfh in King William so I have plenty of time to look after your doggies. My flexible work allows me to be flexible to your schedule! My wife and I have a yard and a super friendly dog called Loney. He’ll be just as excited to see and care for your doggies as I will! We live just off the river walk in King William so there are loads of walks to be had. It’s also an easy central location to travel anywhere needed.
“Ericka did an amazing job looking after our 3 kitties! She is clearly very experienced, loves animals, was very communicative and took great pics. Our kitties are normally really shy and she was able to get them to eat and come out. Very happy with Ericka and will hook again!”
“Charlotte dropped by our place to take care of our kittens while we were away and was wonderful with feeding, taking care of litter, and making sure the kitties were happy!”
“Michael was great. We had four cats, one which had to be kept separate and another with special needs, and he took care of them with no issues. I would definitely recommend him.”
About: If your dog has rocket-fuel energy, Olympic-level zoomies, or simply thinks walks are a scam, I’m your girl. I’ll bring them back happy, exercised, and significantly less likely to redecorate your house with chew marks. Benefits: Run it out or lose your mind. (Zoomies don't pay rent) Healthy Weight. Anxiety leaves the chat= Peace through exhaustion. Tire the brain. Silence the chaos= Mental stimulation. I'm a lifelong runner (28 years) and dog lover with a Blue Heeler (having owned two) and Heeler/ Husky mix, I understand their high energy and exercise requirements. Every session is geared towards their needs for the day. I still do offer,"Mosey walks" perfect for older/ senior dogs (Ranger is 10), or less energetic pups who still love to explore. Additionally, a TON of love and attention. I live in the King William area and two blocks from the river. My ultimate goal is a happy, well exercised dog, who sleeps well at night or even if they have to be put back in their kennel. I'm punctual, communicative, and send updates. Jenn I work from home building my business, so I’ve got flexibility — and yes, I can usually handle last-minute runs and walks. My dogs live for outdoor time (Nellie insists on her two-mile morning run), and I fully support their commitment to fresh air and movement. Your dog gets that same freedom and attention. Your dog’s safety isn’t optional — it’s the standard. My dogs are everything to me, and yours get that same level of care. From shady river paths near King William and HemisFair Park to smart, shade-first routes by your home, every walk and run is planned with comfort, awareness, and trust in mind. -Insured Dog Runner
“They took excellent care of our 16 yo Chihuahua and 8 yo cat! They were very thorough, always refilled food/water, gave treats, played with them, made sure they had potty time, and even brought in packages left outside. Definitely recommend booking these two if you want peace of mind your pets will be well cared for.”
“Sara was an incredible sitter that is extremely reliable and caring. She did a fantastic job with our stubborn German Shepherd and gave us peace of mind while away. We look forward to working with Sara again and can't recommend her enough!”
“This is our second time having Larissa watch our cat Electra, and I couldn't be any happier! Electra is very shy and doesn't normally warm up to people. But ut she warmed right up to Larissa and cuddled up to her. It was amazing!!! Larissa took great care of her and our home. I highly recommend her”
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors pets on and off my whole life. We had two dogs growing up and cats as well. I’m always up for taking care of my best friend’s dog whenever they need it! Currently I work fulltime but I have my weekends free most of the time. I typically get off right at 5pm so I’m also free in the afternoon / evenings. If I’ll be caring for your pet in your home, it’s best that the animal feels comfortable with me so I’ll rely on whatever instructions / tips you’ll leave with me.
“Sarah helped take care of my little guy over the weekend. She was a quick study for an old cat with a few extraordinary needs. She showed up at the requested times and provided adequate summaries. Her care for my Wyatt was spot on.”
About: My friends always come to me whenever they need someone to take care of their pets. Enjoy all kinds of dogs, don’t have a personal one yet but excited to get one eventually. Moved back to Denver and looking to continue my dog sitting and walking trends. Currently working within the state court systems and always find joy in taking care of dogs on my free time. I respect the animals and household equally and follow directions given to me by the clients. Simply looking forward to being with the animals and having a great time with them.

Mel is so amazing. We have one very spicy pet and three very tiny ones who are a handful. Mel is amazing with all of them. Don’t wait to book him. He is great and your pets will love him! I don’t know what our family would do without him. He’s dependable, professional, thorough and kind to humans and pets.
Very communicative! Received lots of photos and videos. Knowledgable of dog breeds and GDV. It was nice knowing she is as observant as I am. I have a food reactive dog and she followed feeding instructions perfectly. It brought me a lot of comfort knowing Anna was looking after them. Will book her again!
Connie did an amazing job checking in on Ollie while I’ve been out of town! I loved all the photos and updates she sent, it really gave me peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of. I’m sure Ollie enjoyed her company and all the attention she gave him. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

I can’t say enough great things about Melissa! She is incredibly kind and caring with Milo, and it truly shows in the way he gets so excited to see her. She always goes above and beyond—not only making sure he gets a great walk, but also taking the extra time to clean his paws or dry him off if he gets wet, which I really appreciate. On top of that, she’s so thoughtful and reliable—she even brings our packages inside without being asked. It’s such a relief knowing Milo is in such good hands and that she genuinely cares about his well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly dedicated!
Alondra is great , I can’t recommend her enough! She went above and beyond in every way while taking care of my pets. Not only did she make sure everything was handled perfectly, even dealing with an outstanding issue, she also kept me constantly updated with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. I'm very thankful again for the extra issue with the door.
Nev was so great for daily visits for our senior dog Duke while we took a mini vacation. Thank you so much for accepting our booking on such short notice—we truly appreciate your flexibility and willingness to help us out last minute. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pet was in good hands, and we’re really grateful for your kindness and reliability. We would absolutely book with you again!
Angelica goes above and beyond to care for my animals (cat and dog). They absolutely adore her and I have complete faith in her for caring for my pets. I love being able to take trips and not have any worries about the care my pets are getting since I know they’re in great hands!
Allison went above and beyond to make sure my cats were taken care of. :) She even went above and beyond and scooped their litter box for (which wasn’t previously asked of her, as I was only away for one day). She kept me updated and sent pictures during each visit. Thank you, Allison!
