“Rebekah is absolutely incredible! She cared for my dog as if he was her own. I was very nervous to leave my dog with a sitter, as he has only been out of our house a few times in his life. She instantly made me feel better by sending me daily updates and pictures. You can tell she truly loves animals! I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for about 3 years. This consists of feeding, walking, and overall just playing with dogs, cats, guinea pigs. I also have experience feeding dogs meds as needed. I currently do not work and am trying to save up for college and my vacation trip! So my schedule is clear for anyone who needs me. I care for pets like they are my own. I love animals so I treat them very nicely and with respect. I have never had an animal that I didn’t get along with.
About: I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats. I previously have fostered puppies, adult dogs, and kittens from a local shelter. I also used to have 12 rats! I love all animals, but especially small animals like rats, mice, guinea pigs, and hamsters! I currently don’t work, so my schedule is wide open! I can stop in any time during the day or night for anything! Or stay all day or night! I will take care of your pets like they are my own! My dog is my everything so I know how important animals are to us! I will follow all instructions and take care of them the same way you would!
About: I have loved and owned dogs since i was 10, I'm not a professional trainer but i have trained my own dogs in obedience and nosework. I work remotely and am home all day, providing attentive, consistent care and companionship to ensure your dog feels safe, loved, and never alone while your gone. I have a secure 4-ft chain link fence and supervise your pet during outdoor time. My two dogs and a friendly visitor dog provide great company and play opportunities.
About: I will treat your fur baby like my own, they will be spoiled! I adore all animals and look forward to meeting yours. My day job is taking care of other peoples horses and training them. I understand the importance of trusting the person who takes care of your four legged family members! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, dog walked and done cat visits since I was young. Boarders must get along with cats (I have one, he’s friendly to everyone) I understand the value of giving animals exercise, consistency, love and attention. I will absolutely follow your guidelines with your pet, after all, you know them best! I’ve had extensive experience giving medications, administering SQ fluids, treating wounds, etc. I’ve taken care of puppies during potty training, as well as senior animals.
“Jeff’s house is well appointed for your fur babies. My babies enjoyed the freedom of the fenced in yard, and found their own places in his home. Jeff had a water bowl out for them and I thought that was neat. He was very observant of their time outside in the heat. Jeff goes over and above and keeps in great contact. He really “gets” our dog’s personality traits. No problems, no worries, just great service. Go with the best. Thanks, Jeff.”
About: I have always loved animals, especially dogs! I am a responsible, energetic, caring person that would love to take care of your pet! Your pets are part of the family, just like mine. I have experience dog sitting small to medium sized dogs. I am not strong enough to walk or care for larger dogs (unless of course they are great on the leash walking). I do not discriminate against any kind of breeds. I have two dogs of my own that are chihuahua and chihuahua mix. I have cared for small chihuahuas to larger pit bulls. Just message me with your needs as I work part time as a dental hygienist so I will work around my hours. I, also, volunteer at a wild animal rescue where I get to care for raccoons, foxes, deer, possums, squirrels and rabbits under the supervision of a veterinarian. I love animals of all kinds! Caring for animals is a passion of mine !
About: I recently moved to the area with my boyfriend and our 2 boys, we have 1 dog and 1 cat! They are my kids and I treat them as such and same for yours! I can provide all the love, time and attention you would ever hope for!! I grew up with many dogs of all ages and breeds, as well as plenty of cats. My history for working with dogs is very wide. Right out of high school I got a job at a doggie daycare and that was just the beginning of my journey. Since then I have; * worked in a humane society caring for dogs and cats (in good health and bad) * Worked at a different doggie daycare, in which I became the supervisor * Been a swim coach for dogs (for therapy and fun) * Hiked dogs (would hike up to 4 dogs at a time for 2 hours) * Been a clinical assistant and supervisor for a traveling vet company (referred vaccines to clients and helped hands on with the vet) * Worked as a receptionist at two different animal hospitals in Colorado I do work a lil under full time but that doesn’t take away from the care I am able to provide. My schedule is constant through out the week and frequently changes on the weekends. I work 10am to 6pm Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. As for the weekends, I typically work around 4-5 hours on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. Your pets safety and happiness is my top priority! I provide all the care and love that I would want for my kiddos. Anything I can do to make them more comfortable, I’ll do it! We do have 1 dog and 1 cat that live in the house, so I ask that any dog that comes into our home be friendly and socialized. Our cat, Midnight, does stay to himself as he is older and doesn’t want to be bothered. Trippie, our dog, is on the younger side and loves to play, but also very good at matching energies. If your dog wants to play, he’ll want to play. If they like to lay around, he’ll do the same! When it comes to my home, I live in a two bedroom apartment that’s fairly big with lots of parks close by. In the house; *lots of toys *fresh water everyday or more often if needed *large and small dog beds *first aid kit specific to their needs *one ingredient treats *allowed on furniture *can puppy proof if needed *can feed in separate rooms in need I do ask that for any dog staying in my apartment they be up to date on the following vaccines; (I will require proof) *Rabies *DA2PP *Bordetella
“Kiera is amazing. I have never had to leave my dogs with anyone but friends and family before and was very worried. I have a large Great Dane and a Boston terrier mix. She wasn't afraid to have my Dane at all which was a problem I was having with finding a boarder for them. While they only stayed 2 days, it was 2 days where I wasn’t worried because she sent constant photos and videos. My Dane is my service dog, so I was extra cautious leaving him with someone I didn’t know but the moment I met her I knew they would both be safe. If I am ever in the area again I know I will be using her again!”

“Cameron has been pet sitting for me for years and is great at it. She loves animals and she doesn’t just do it for the money.”
Jennifer S.
“Jennifer is the most compassionate animal lover I have ever met. Not only her selfless acts of fostering older adoptable dogs, but also even a group of 6 kittens as well. When it comes to our pets, I would trust for Jennifer to care for mine in a heart beat, knowing they would receive the same love and attention that we give at our own home 💕”
Nicole W.
“I can’t recommend Nikki highly enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and caring dog sitter. She has a natural connection with dogs and brings an incredible level of attentiveness and experience to her work. What really sets her apart is her ability to read dog behavior—she’s always a step ahead when it comes to anticipating potential issues and creating a calm, safe environment. Whether it's managing different personalities or introducing new routines, she handles everything with confidence and care. Now that she’s in a single-family home with a fully fenced yard, her setup is ideal for in-home dog sitting. It’s the kind of space where dogs can feel relaxed, play freely, and be treated like part of the family. If you're looking for someone who genuinely gets dogs and treats them with the love and structure they deserve, Nikki is your person.”
Sarah M.
“Sarah is one of the kindest, most diligent pet caregivers I’ve ever experienced. She has a heart for dogs and a very high level of patience and understanding. She is reliable and my Boxer and Staffy absolutely love her! Highly recommended to anyone who is worried about who you leave your pets care needs to. She’s absolutely amazing! Thanks Sarah! -Lori D.”
