About: I have taken care of animals since I was 12 and get excited at every animal I meet. I want to give any animal that I am taking care of the best care and attention to make them happy. I’m currently looking for a job, so I have plenty of time to take care of animals and check in on them when they need or take them on a walk. I treat every client’s home with utmost respect and focus on taking amazing care of their pet. I follow any specific rules or requests and make sure that the pet is happy and safe.
“Steve helped ensure our pup had great walks while my family was out of town and our pup was staying with our elderly mother-in-law who didn't feel comfortable walking such a big dog. Steve gave our 70-pound bernedoodle a nice stroll around the neighborhood to tire him out and get him some exercise every day we were gone. We will absolutely re-book Steven whenever we go out of town again!”
“Paul was great and we'll certainly be working with him again! We're new puppy parents and have some quirky requests to ensure our training goes smoothly and is uninterrupted. Paul came over in advance so we could go for a walk together - he was great with WooHoo and very receptive.”
“I have a difficult time trusting someone I don’t know in my home with my pup. Christina followed my directions carefully and was on time and totally reliable. She’s definitely my go-to! Thanks Christina”
About: I have solid experience managing care for several pets at the same time while keeping everything calm, organized, and consistent. I’ve handled a wide range of personalities and energy levels, and I stay patient, calm, and consistent with every pet. I pay attention to the small things—body language, comfort, and habits—so I can make sure each animal feels relaxed and cared for while you’re away. I’m a full-time student at Ohio University, but I only take pet-sitting bookings when I’m back home in Arvada, Colorado. Pet care fits easily into my routine during school breaks because I have open availability and plenty of time to focus on each pet. During those breaks, I’m fully present and able to give consistent attention, walks, and care. I create a calm, safe environment for every pet I care for. I follow the owner’s routines for feeding, walks, and playtime, keep doors and gates secure, and pay close attention to each pet’s comfort and body language. I also send updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Fiona was patient and caring with our pup, Cammie. I appreciate her going the extra mile to make her feel comfortable and being flexible when navigating some challenges with our door code. We hope to use her again in the future!”
About: Hi! My friends call me Audder, and you can call me anytime! Flexible? Check. Reliable? Double check. I’ve got no kids, no pets of my own, and a self-employed lifestyle—so your pet gets 100% of my time, energy, and love. I’m experienced with senior cats and dogs who need a gentler touch, high-energy breeds that thrive on long walks, and little pups who are ready to be carried after a block. Whether it’s last-minute walks, extra snuggles, or sending photo updates to make you smile, I’m here to make sure your fur baby feels like the center of the universe (because with me, they are!). 🐶🐱✨ I’m a child free, introverted, widowed, pseudo retired millennial… I build my schedule around my clients pets and my free time falls into the gaps! When I say I’ve got flexibility I mean it! I have no problem staying in your home, if needed. No fenced yard? No problem, I love getting out for a nice (dog breed dependent length) walk no matter the weather! 😊

I send detailed daily updates with photos and videos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my commitment to providing personalized, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including training energetic puppies with positive reinforcement techniques and providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets who may require medication, mobility assistance, or a slower pace.

Whether it’s sticking to a strict routine, handling special diets, or offering extra cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I’ve always made it a priority to ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. Each day, I set aside specific times for walks, playtime, and training sessions, adjusting based on each pet’s needs. If I’m caring for a puppy, I focus on consistent training and socialization, while for seniors, I incorporate gentler, shorter walks and provide any necessary health monitoring. I also make sure to offer plenty of time for bonding, ensuring pets feel comfortable and loved. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so it never feels like a chore—it’s a natural part of my schedule. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I make sure to follow their established routine, including feeding, exercise, and any special care instructions. I respect the home environment by keeping things tidy and following any house rules the client has. I also ensure that pets receive ample attention, exercise, and mental stimulation, whether it’s through play, walks, or just hanging out. I provide updates through photos and messages to keep the client informed and at ease. The goal is to ensure pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved, just as they would with their owners.
About: I’m a caring, dependable, and passionate pet sitter and dog walker who treats every animal with the same love, patience, and kindness I would give my own. I offer additional services which include optional running services. I absolutely love spending time outdoors and in nature, and I’d be thrilled to share fun adventures with your furry friend! I’m comfortable caring for potty-trained dogs and can tailor each outing to your dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your pup needs a good run, a peaceful walk, a hike, or an exciting outdoor adventure, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, enrichment, attention, and love. I also enjoy preparing fresh, homemade meals and can cook vet- or nutritionist-guided recipes from scratch when requested, tailored to your pet’s specific nutritional needs. Most importantly, your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities. When your dog is in my care, they’ll receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and individualized care. I want every pet I look after to feel happy, comfortable, and genuinely loved while they’re with me! I work full time Monday-Friday from 9-5 with hopes of making dog care my full time job eventually to get out of my corporate industry. I work close to home & can walk them halfway through my workday and am available all day on the weekends. I have a large fenced in grassy yard with tons of areas to play or go potty in between walks. I am very responsible with letting dogs go to the bathroom throughout the day and feed them on a strict schedule each day. If I am ever in anyone’s home I make sure to leave the home better than I found it.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether your dog needs a walk to burn off some energy, a drop-in playtime visit while you're at work, or just some extra love and attention, I will treat your pet as if they were my own. My goal would be to make sure your dog has a fun, positive experience every time. I would be happy to provide photos and updates for peace of mind as requested. I have experience with senior dogs, puppies and everything in between. I am currently working part-time and have an open schedule for mid-day, morning and evening visits and walks. I am open some weekends. I lovingly said goodbye within the last 2 years to my wonderful dogs Mack and Junie (17 and 15). I recently got a new puppy and I am in love. I treat my dogs, and I will treat yours, as a member of the family.
About: I have been working for over ten years with dogs, from California to Colorado, and abroad in Peru (where I worked at an animal rescue home, Association Humanitarian San Francisco de' Asis). Animals are my passion. My active lifestyle fits wonderfully with dogs, seeing as we both enjoy walking and playing. I have I am patient and compassionate which always gains me trust from my animal friends. For 4 years I worked with "Sparkles," a 3 year rescue dog in Santa Barbara, CA who lived with the family whose children I cared for. Sparkles and I took daily walks and trips to the beach. I gave her baths and took her twice to the local vet. I stayed three weeks with Sparkles in her home when her family was in Italy in 2010. Sparkles was a great companion as she went with me everywhere! I have stayed over-night with various dogs in Santa Barbara. To be honest, I have always been the "go-to" friend when it comes to pet-sitting. My deep love and concern for animals, along with my reliable nature makes me a wonderful care-taker for animals. From puppies to a 16 year old springer spaniel, I have worked with them all. I am trustworthy and reliable, with a handful of strong references. I hope to meet you and your dog soon!
About: I have had multiple dogs my whole life and get sad for days that pass without puppy pets. We have 2 dogs currently in our home that love to play and have new friends! We have a large, fenced in yard and a doggy dog for frequent inside and outside playing. Crates are available in home if needed. Both members of the home have flexible work schedules with pups only being left alone for 1-2 hours a day, if at all! My husband and I both have very flexible work schedules. While he works from home most of the week, I can come and go throughout the day, leaving pups alone for only 1-2 hours at a time. We enjoy walks or field trips daily around the home and to various dog parks. I have a fenced in yard with 2 friendly pups in the home! We have a doggy door for frequent exploring and can easily crate your pup, if needed.
“Jennifer is wonderful! Clearly loves dogs, responsible, communicative and an incredible help. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her and having her walk our dogs regularly.

Dow is amazing with our two big dogs! He is able to sense exactly what each dog needs, whether it is a little extra TLC for the older dog, or a new walking adventure for the younger one.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
