“Alisha is great! She is attentive to my pup’s needs, and I can tell she really cares. Alisha communicates very well and is very easy to work with. Highly recommend!”

“Kayla was wonderful with our very anxious lab. Lila warmed up to her after only a little while, which is unusual for her. Kayla was communicative and responsive and sent us daily pics. We came home to a happy dog and the house was as clean as we left it. Would definitely use Kayla again to dog/house sit!”

“Kayli was phenomenal! She cared for our pup as if he was her own! Appreciated the daily updates, even if I did not see them immediately. Highly recommended and would rebook again!”

“We highly recommend Jessica for all your pet care needs!! We had Jessica take care of our three cats and our home while we are away to visit family. Our cats have extensive feeding schedules due to health and weight issues. Jessica did an amazing job following their schedules and giving them lots of love. She was very communicative and responsive, and sent us photos and videos everyday. She also took good care of our home. We will definitely be reaching out to Jessica for all of our pet and house sitting needs in the future. Thank you Jessica!!”

“Sally was great. Winston liked her and she took care of his needs. It was only one night but she make sure he stuck to his routine and got his energy out. She is sweet and pleasant. We will be using her again.”


“My husband and I always have fun on our trips, because we know Winnie is in excellent hands. Not only does Lila provide numerous pictures with comments/ she sends pictures of anything that she thinks looks abnormal. Lila is delightful, responsable, and she loves animals! She will treat yours like hers I have no hesitation about giving her the highest marks possible.”

“Hannah did a great job. She stays in touch and who doesn’t love a picture of your furry best friend while gone. I will certainly ask her again to house sit my little Maui.”

About: I've been taking care of friends and neighbor's dogs since I was 16 and I love meeting new furry friends! I am highly familiar with active dogs, young dogs, and dogs with specialty diets/feeding routines. I am experienced in dealing with dogs with medical issues, and how to deal with medical emergencies in a calm and effective manner. I am a college student at CU Boulder, and am in classes most of the day Mon-Thurs. During the weekends I am very free, and enjoy going on hikes/runs and spending time reading and doing homework at home. This makes caring for pets on weekends very easy, as I spend a lot of time hanging out at home, and spending time outside, which is good for both active dogs, and dogs who enjoy more slow paced days. In my clients homes, I place a focus on attention on meeting individual pet needs, from midnight potty breaks, to lots of active play to keep dogs intellectually stimulated. I tend to keep a strict routine (eating, walking, sleeping at the same time) for pets but I am also very flexible to unique requests for pets.
“Dana was a fantastic sitter for us! For both our pups and our home. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone, and we'd love to have her back again. She's very responsible and communicates well, and our pups seemed to really love her.”

“Jamie was amazing! Very sweet to my pup, sent lots of pics, took good care of my home & checked in afterwards to make sure flights weren’t to make sure she needed to stay and get my pup more exercise. Clear communication, respectful and responsible caretaker. Would definitely use Jamie again.”

“Lauren is wonderful with my dogs and house sitting. She is quick to respond and loves them like I do. Both dogs seem well rested and content when I return home. I will use her again.”

“Javier was great with my 2 big dogs and cat. While the cat box didn’t get cleaned, everyone was happy when I got home, which is all a pet mama can ask! He left the house in great shape as well, even stripping the bed he slept in. I’d absolutely rehire Javier; he’s a wonderful soul that animals respond to. They’re in good hands with him.”

“Hanna took good care of our cat and our home while we were away for a few days. Our kitty seemed to love her, she texted lots of photos, and the house was clean when we arrived home.”

“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Hunter! From the very beginning he was professional, friendly, and responsive. He offered to come by beforehand so we could meet and feel comfortable, something we really appreciated. He is truly one of the nicest people we’ve met, and he took exceptional care of our two dogs during our 10-day trip. Hunter went above and beyond in every way. We came home to happy, well-cared for pups and a peaceful house. I can honestly say I’ve never felt so stress-free leaving our dogs and home in someone else’s care. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we can fully trust. We will absolutely be booking Hunter anytime we go out of town. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 7 years and have experience caring for both young and senior dogs of many different breeds. I’m comfortable providing short or long walks based on each dog’s needs and energy level. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every dog like family. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently work 4 days a week but have a lunch break where I’m able to check in on pets if needed. I’m available for drop-in visits on Wednesdays and weekends, and I’m happy to provide consistent, attentive care during those times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or litter box care, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s personality. I also keep the home clean and respect all instructions regarding feeding, medications, and house rules.
“Megan was great with our 2 dogs! Great communication and frequent updates with pictures. I felt our dogs were well taken care of and happy to be around her. She also left the house spotless when we returned.”

“Christian house sat for us for an entire week and took wonderful care of our fur children! He was quick to respond and able to accommodate some last minute requests such as giving our dogs their heartworm preventative. We returned to a house that was cleaner than how we left it. He is a gem!”

Colleen was excellent in loving on our little ones and they seemed very happy when we came back. She sent the perfect amount of questions, updates and we could tell she really cared about making our babies comfortable. Would book her again instantly unless all the rest of you fill up her schedule first 😜

Bailey recently stayed at our house for about a week and looked after our dog, Maggie. The house was left clean and she took excellent care of our dog. She always replied quickly to any communication, and was very friendly and responsible. If you're looking for a pet sitter, she's a great find! Thanks, Bailey!

Savannah is my new hero dog sitter. Not only did she take Elmo on long hikes…the kind that dogs love and we love because they are exhausted…but my place was spotless when I returned. I got plenty of updates with pictures and video. I will definitely be asking Savanah to watch Elmo again.

Hannah did a great job watching our dog while we were away for a few days. She sent lots of photos of him each day and updated us regularly on how he was doing. The house was clean and just as we left it when we returned. We would definitely recommend her for anyone looking! Thank you!

Lila was an incredibly conscientious and professional pet and house sitter for us! She completed our necessarily complex instructions to the letter and everything was perfect when we returned. You won't be disappointed with her and we will, of course, use her again!
Kayla was wonderful with our very anxious lab. Lila warmed up to her after only a little while, which is unusual for her. Kayla was communicative and responsive and sent us daily pics. We came home to a happy dog and the house was as clean as we left it. Would definitely use Kayla again to dog/house sit!

Jenni did such a great job taking care of my pup and the house while I was out of town. She kept in regular touch with me and sent great pictures and videos. She is extremely conscientious and remembers the smallest details. I will definitely continue to book with her!
