“Shelby took excellent care of Owen all week. She arrived on schedule for every visit, and the photo updates made my day. Owen was relaxed when I got home, and the place looked just like I left it. Five stars! I’d book again without hesitation. Thanks, Shelby!”
“Cole is kind, conscientious and reliable. Prior to starting, he came over to meet us to make sure that he and my dog were compatible companions. His visits allow my dog to get outside for a bit during the day while I’m at work, which allows me to do my job without the stress or anxiety of worrying about my dog and constantly having to rush to leave/return as soon as possible. Grateful to have his help and appreciate that he is so awesome!”
“Mia was great about coming to let my dogs out and feed them when my drive home was severely delayed last minute! It was a huge relief to know they were taken care of and to get some cute photos of them!”
“Emma is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She was totally reliable, sent me great updates (including about how much my picky eater ate at each meal), sent loads of pictures every day, and most importantly took perfect care of my dogs. I couldn't dream of a better pet sitter! Hire Emma and put your mind at ease!”
“Becky was terrific with Buddy. He has some separation anxiety from being abandoned in his past. Becky was very good to sit with him when she came to care for him. Will definitely ask Becky to return!”
“This was my second time booking with Sheena & it went great! She was detailed in my cat’s daily summary, included lots of pictures (which I always love), and made sure everything stayed clean for him. I’ll definitely be working with her again soon!”
“Jordan is an angel. We hire Jordan any time we need a sitter. She takes such great care of our special needs kitty. Extremely reliable, attentive, and caring. And communication is fantastic. Thank you again Jordan!”
“Gretchen cat sat three times for us this summer and was fantastic! We have an older cat who takes medicine and Gretchen was able to have him take it every day. She brushed and played with the kitties at each visit. Gretchen was reliable and quick to communicate with us if needed. I absolutely recommend Gretchen as a pet sitter and will definitely use her services again.”
About: I'm a 33 year old male and I've grown up with all different breeds and sizes of dogs. If I'm available, that means I'm in my off season from teaching skiing at Aspen Highlands so I'm very flexible! I'm a runner and I'd love to take your dog(s) out running and play with them. Having grown up in a zoo of a house, I have experience with nearly all types of animals. Cats, reptiles, fish, birds, hedgehogs, you name it! I'll be available until December when I return to my full time seasonal job in Aspen. In the meantime, my side work is very flexible. I live alone in a 2nd story condominium which I own, 100 yards from the Coal Creek trail, creating a calm and relaxing environment for your pet. I'm more than happy to travel to your home to care for your pets. I'm happy to respect whatever house rules you have in addition to caring for your pet.
About: I grew up with dogs. Have been with them in all chapters of life. Love with respect and discipline. Being with them is pure joy I walk in the mornings, hike at lunch in Boulder from my job. I love to be out in the evenings with animal companions. Any weather! I HAVE FLEXIBLE WORK DAYS I have a big backyard, all fenced in. Walking trails everywhere. I don't mind travelling to walk. My home is to be lived in with joy and love, and messes sometimes 😄
“THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING! The pictures. communication. everything! Hope you have a great week and we will definitely hit you up in the future if you are willing :)”
“Olinda was Incredible! Took great care of our cat for the week and a half we were gone. Sent us pictures regularly and went above and beyond! Truly grateful for her”
“This was our first experience leaving our dog home with a sitter/walker to care for him. Donovan came to our house for a Meet-and-Greet, answered all of our questions, met our animals, and addressed our concerns. Donovan was a prompt communicator, provided feedback and pictures at each visit, and made it easier for us to trust that the pets were okay. We would recommend Donovan as a sitter/walker to others, and will hire him again!”
“Bryn did a great job watching our two indoor cats while we were away for a few weeks. She sent texts with updates and pictures, which my daughters loved seeing. When we returned home, we could tell the cats had been well-looked after. They were not stressed nor desperate to be fed. Their food area was tidy and well-stocked. Their water bowls were clean and full. Their kitty litter was also in great shape. We're so grateful for Bryn's attentiveness. Definitely consider hiring her!”

“Elizabeth is the best dog sitter and house sitter. She helped us with our dog and three cats while we travelled to Mexico. She is an avid hiker and dog walker. All the fur babies love her.
