“We are so lucky to have found Tiffany! She is so great with all our pets. Can always count on her for updates and for taking great care of the pups. Thank you!!!”

About: My family has rescued dogs since I was born! Breeds I've had or pet sitted for include Beagles, Bassets, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, Cocker Spaniels, Weiners, Presa Canarios, Pit Bulls, Yorkies, Bernese Mountain Dogs, mixed breeds, dozens of cats and even a Vietnamese Pig! I adopted a Tabby cat from the shelter I volunteered at for 3 years (however, he has now "adopted" my parents and lives a very spoiled life in MI). Working at the shelter taught me how to be extra patient with certain breeds who came from unfortunate situations and/or environments. I cleaned their cages, took them for walks, administered meds, and showed them as much love as possible if they allowed it. I am a very affectionate person, love fur cuddles, and am not afraid to get dirty (I've had puppies and senior dogs) and have a natural ability to connect with animals. I am also very aware that some pets just need their personal space and have different needs, just like people (only better). I am an avid hiker and yogi and love including pets in any related activity I can so that they get to exercise and/or relax with me. I also am respectful that not all animals are created the same and am completely fine with just feeding them, walking them, and letting them have their own space if that's their preference. I work from home except for one day a week and do not have any dependents, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and lifestyle. I occasionally work a few hours on weekends at a food truck but can either bring your pet with me or they can hang for a few hours at my place. I also have reliable transportation (good 'ol Jeep) that can fit multiple pets of all shapes and sizes :-) I have an open floor plan apartment with a 110' ft. balcony overlooking Mt. Massive and live within one mile of two dog parks and within close distance to a safe, walkable downtown area. I also have a partner who owns property with a fenced yard and we share two rescue dogs (husky mix and shepherd mix) but they live with him. I have a pretty open floor plan and not a lot of "stuff," and am always aware of what items are around to put away so that the pet cannot get into anything. I have one set of stairs that go up to the apartment, and can also keep extra blankies, toys, and owner approved treats (if allowed) to make sure that the pet feels as safe and comfortable as possible.

“Brian did an amazing job taking care of my two boys while I was gone for almost two weeks. And they can sure be a handful at times! Brian communicated well and did a great job, would use again!”

“Fantastic experience. Meagan took care of our pets like they were her own. She kept the house clean and provided regular updates (along with pictures). We will use her again.”

Bob S.

“Rachel was awesome! She was available with only a couple days short notice and listened to all instructions. My Rudy was very happy and bonded quickly. Will definitely be rebooking!”

About: Have personally owned cats & dogs since I can remember, + some experience with parrots. Dog size ranged Chihuahua to Siberian Husky, so I'm comfortable with all sizes and temperaments, including protective breeds! Cats are a HUGE love for me, but I love dogs and other animals a lot too — my priority is always the health, safety and mood of an animal before anything else. I work part-time for events and receive my schedule ahead of time. I am not very busy, so I will be able to spend lots of time with pets as necessary and give them my full attention. I'll perform any service needed for a pet! Walking, food/water, play, keep them out of cables and cabinets or from digging under fences, feel for ticks or scratches, etc., I also have a small amount of grooming experience due to owning a Siberian Husky and German Shepherd for years, if your pet is comfortable being handled. I am relatively adjusted to responding to animals' moods if they are afraid of strangers or nervous, respecting their space, redirecting, etc if they're not super social, but I also don't mind extroverted or cuddly pets!

About: Hi! I'm Kaile (Ki-la), or Auntie K, a born and raised Colorado mountain girl who moved back from Hawai’i where I dog sat full time for years. I moved back to Colorado to work as a social worker and working part time so the rest of my time is available to give your fur babies the best experience possible! I specialize in pups that need extra attention. Whether they need to be around people all day because of temperament or separation anxiety, if they have problems being around other dogs, perhaps they're shy and skittish, or maybe they have other behavior problems, or whatever other special needs your furry family members have needs, my background working for the human society and working with traumatized rescue dogs and special needs little humans in preschool. Give me the knowledge, temperament and experience to ensure the best experience for your pups. Those dogs are what I'm here for. I base my scheduling and pricing on having one pup with me at a time (unless they're "sibling" dogs from the same ohana), and if there's an occasion for overlap with another dog it will only be if I've notified you beforehand and gotten your permission. Please also keep that in mind when you're comparing prices and other dog sitters, while possibly having a yard and all of whom are amazing, offer services for multiple, often up to 7 dogs, at the same time. WHAT YOUR PUPS DAY WITH ME WILL BE LIKE I might not have a yard but we're right on the river as well as connected to a great walking trail system. I am at home all day every day, so I'm available for unlimited walks, hikes, potty breaks, whatever your pup needs. From the time you drop them off to the time you pick them up, I can guarantee I will be with them the entire time, playing ganes, going on walks or hikes, working on basic training, curled up on the couch for a nap or hanging out in the kitchen together as I cook dinner, feeding your pup in the kitchen so they're eating with me and my dad. ALL DAY ONE ON ONE EXPERIENCE! I will never leave your dog alone in my home, even if they are boarding over night. Many other area dog sitters work outside full time jobs, or are out of the house with their children for a good part of the day. They might require crate training, or will put your dog inside and be home only every 4-8 hours for a few short minutes for a quick shishi and water break. Would you pay for your toddler to be babysat all day with a family that, like yourself, works outside their home all day? Where they would leave your child in a locked room except for being let out twice a day for no longer than a potty and snack break? Why would you want the same for your fur baby? A DOG SITTING EXPERIENCE THAT'S LIKE A BABYSITTING/NANNY EXPERIENCE INSTEAD OF A GLORIFIED HOME BASED KENNEL I don't have children living with me and currently I don't have my own dogs with me. When you dog is here with me, they're with me the entire time and I treat them exactly like they're my own fur babies. Starting at the end of August I will be taking FT classes at UH Manoa for my first of two years in their masters in social work program. Luckily 4 out of my 5 classes are online. Monday is the only day I will not be available because I will be on campus. Otherwise at least until January I will be available Tuesday through Sunday. Your pup's safety is my top priority. I live in a 7th floor condo with my father in Ko Olina. We have one lanai with sliding glass doors. I have an extra fence that I put up when I have tiny pups to keep them safe. We have one wide open room for the kitchen and living room so your dogs will always be in my sight even if I'm not directly interacting with them. I don't let any dog leave my front door without their collar and leash, and if they have one their harness. I go on lots of walks and adventures, even occasional runs and hikes depending on the dog and 'ohana wishes but I will never take them off leash. There is a dog park in Ewa that provides a secure off leash area. Its not somewhere I go often but with one of my regular pups, their parents okayed taking him there. I will only utilize this option after first speaking with you and getting your okay. I will only take one dog at a time (two if they're the same ohana) and always be with them. I know with COVID winding down socialization is a concern of many of our dog ohanas. I will sometimes have more than one dog staying with me. Most commonly its for an ohana with two pups. The other times they're dogs from two of my regular clients. I never have a new dog at the same time as another, even a regular. I like to spend time bonding with your pup and getting to know their personality and how they interact with other dogs. If they do well I will ask you if you're okay with your pup having playtime with another dog I know. Two of my regular pups are now BFF! Especially after COVID many puppy parents are concerned about their furry family member being socialized correctly. This is my aim whenever I have more than one dog. I never have more than one or two more, and I make it a point to provide even more direct interaction to help your dogs learn to or continue to socialize with their puppy friends in the safest and healthiest way possible! I have worked at the humane society in Colorado and volunteered in multiple shelters. I have basic dog and cat first aid training.

“Esther was amazing! Prompt to respond, sent us photos and updates daily while we were gone, and left our home just as clean (if not better) than before we left. We could tell that our pups were well cared for - even our high energy boy was exhausted when we got back! We had an interesting time with our trip and had to cut the booking short and she was more than flexible and all with a positive attitude. We will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”

“We were very happy with Savannah, she watched both of our dogs and house sit. We were concerned because they can be a handful sometimes , one is 7 yrs old and bigger and the other is new and only 1 yr. old. And she handled them fine. She communicated with us, sent pics and looked for parcels and got mail etc. and cleaned the house before we got back. We would def. use her again. Thank you Savannah!”

About: Currently in Leadville. Ready to meet some new doggos. I’ve been dog sitting since 2015. I have a standard poodle who is great with other pets and loves to play. I have a ton of space for play! We are very active and love getting outside and we are in the perfect area for that. I have two pretty awesome pups, both high energy poodles, so rain or shine we find a way to play outside. They go lots of places with me and I usually work around their schedule! 🐩 🐩 Make sure I know the ins and outs of the home and everyone is always comfortable. My dogs have their favorite spots and safe places and I know when I’m in clients homes to always be aware.

“We needed a last minute pet sitter and Jamie was available, showed up on time and treated our babies like her own!! We will definitely have her back to stay with our pups!!”

About: I started pet sitting when I was a teenager and have loved doing so ever since! I have watched the pets of family members, friends, and community members, through word of mouth. I have worked with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and species! My most unique pet sitting experience was an axolotl! My longest pet sitting was a period of 6 months for 2 elderly cats. I am so excited to spend time with your pets! I work full time at an elementary school. I am able to provide walks, check ins, and face-to-face time after school (4 pm M-Th). I am also available F-S with much more availability. I am happy to host pets after a quick meet and greet with my pup to make sure that both pets feel comfortable! I am also happy to care for the pet in your home and to leave my pup with my partner!

About: I have raised 3 dogs from puppyhood with my family and have taken care of my friends and family’s dogs. I had experience with puppies and older dogs. I work part time jobs meaning I have plenty of time for your animals and to prioritize their needs. I have my own vehicle and live with my family. I have a fenced in yard with 2 very friendly dogs up in Redcliff. My dogs spend most of their time outside and with people. There is typically someone always in the house meaning the animals are never left alone for long periods!

“Trisha was great with our dogs. She is intuitive about what the dogs need and how to manage them. She was also good with communication and super flexible on working with us to accommodate logistics. Would definitely rebook.”

Tammy W.

“Hayley is fantastic! Communicated clearly, very clean, and most importantly took care of my puppy as if she were her own. Will definitely book again the next time I’m traveling!”

“Krystina was the best and we will definitely be using her again!!! She stayed at our place with our boys and the house was spotless when we returned. She even washed the sheets and remade the bed! She followed all of our instructions to the T! It was obvious she really cared. We highly recommend Krystina!”
