“Beth is always so good with our girl Kira! She has been very attentive to her needs and helps with any training instruction. We could not ask for a better person to check on our fur baby!!”
“Alexa handles my 85 pound, temperamental, mastiff mix like a champ. She is a great communicator, follows directions and always gives plenty of feedback for each walk. Sadie, is always waiting eagerly in the window for their weekly walks.”
“Jennifer is so great! I have used her a handful of times now for dog walking. She provides very detailed updates during her walk and always listens if I provide her with different instructions for the day. She also quickly caught on to what our dog likes to do - play fetch versus going for walks so she takes time to play fetch. Definitely recommend booking her!”
“Collette has been so good with my pups! So glad that I found her. She is very detail oriented and accommodating. Collette keeps me updated on everything. Thank you again Collette.”
“Madeline saved the day and accepted a last minute request when our usual dog walker was out of town. She was patient with our nervous pup and did a great job at making her feel comfortable!”
About: Working in the animal welfare field for a few years now has allowed me to obtain lots of skills other sitters may not obtain. Need to give your pet medication as you are gone? No problem for this experienced veterinary technician! Have an additional set of ease, for you know that your pet is with a sitter that has been trained in first aid, CPR, and even anesthesia! I know what to look for when your pet is staying outside of home. With time I have for my online college courses, I can have the best of both worlds. Sitting your pet while also furthering my education simultaneously. Your pet will truly enjoy my two sided fully fenced backyard! Lots of room to run around and chase a ball or chill on the patio if wanted. Fortunately, pets are allowed on my couch as well, allowing them to snuggle and have comfortablity in my home.
About: I’ve had dogs for my whole life, all pitbulls except for one sweet Boston mix. I have experience with all ages including puppies and seniors. In my neighborhood I dogsit for many of the neighbors and I never lack in love or care regardless if the dog is mine or not. I love to take many pictures and videos to send because I understand the worry a pet parent must feel and I think the pictures ease their worry My mom can watch my dogs when I’m out for days so I never have to worry about them. I’m available 100%, weekdays, weekends, and holidays! Even when I start my job as a canine hydrotherapist I’ll still be available! I’m flexible in my care and happy to accommodate any wishes or needs for your dog, just let me know beforehand so I can prepare accordingly
About: For about three years while living in Denver, my partner and I were fostering kittens and dogs in our spare time (and loved it)! I own two social cats (foster fails) who I've taken care of since they were kittens. My partner has a traveling role for work, so I haven't been able to foster animals like before- I need my animal fix! I signed up to be a pet sitter because I genuinely love animals and miss taking care of them. I'm flexible with my schedule! I'm currently inbetween work contracts. If you need weekend sitting- just shoot me a message! I may be able to accommodate. With my experience fostering (and pet sitting), I understand your pet may have particular needs that I will gladly accommodate! With me, you will get frequent updates and photos of your loved fur child- they are in good hands!
“Janet is WONDERFUL beyond words. Peanut a bit hesitant at first but Janice calmed her immediately and now they are BEST FRIENDS. Janet is responsive and accommodating and a pleasure to work with!”
About: I volunteered for 1.5 years at a shelter in Montana and most recently worked at a doggie daycare/boarding facility as a handler and trainer for approximately a year. I personally have been a dog owner since 2013 (not including family dogs growing up). I have experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and demeanors. I have extensive hands-on training in reading dog body language. I am particularly well-versed in building a good relationship with nervous/fearful dogs. I treat every dog as if they were my own pet! I am on the job hunt and decided to try this for some income while I search! I have morning and afternoon availability 7 days a week to come hang out with your fur-baby. I always respect a dog’s boundaries and never do anything that they are uncomfortable with. I am a very confident handler and that helps in building a trusting relationship with a new dog. Even if the dog immediately wants to be my best friend, I let them come to me and I let them set the tone and pace. The most important thing with any dog is patience and not forcing them into a situation that could be stressful for them. I have successfully trained two dogs that I adopted with behavioral issues including reactivity to other dogs & people, and resource guarding. I believe in positive reinforcement ALWAYS. If a correction is needed I use a firm but calm voice, and praise when the inappropriate behavior stops. You can rest assured that I will never do anything to harm your beloved pet.
“Sara has been amazing with my dog. She has now provided services for my dog a few times and has been patient with my dog, who is shy and scared of almost everything. She has also been great with communication. Glad to have matched with her and look forward to booking future walks with her”
