About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my extensive experience and deep compassion for animals. Since 2013, I have had the privilege of pet-sitting for dog trainers, friends, and family, which has given me a solid foundation in understanding a variety of breeds and temperaments. I specialize in providing attentive care to both puppies and senior dogs, ensuring they receive the love and attention they need at every stage of life. Additionally, I've taken in strays and nursed them back to health, demonstrating my commitment to the well-being of all animals. When you choose me as your pet sitter, you're choosing someone who loves your pets as much as you do. Currently, I'm taking time away from work as a County Planner, allowing me to dedicate my full attention to caring for your animals 24/7 with enough notice. This means your pets will receive around-the-clock care and companionship, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for at all times. I provide comprehensive care for pets in both my home and my clients' homes, tailored to meet each pet's unique needs. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, administering medication, or just providing companionship, I ensure your pets receive the attention and love they deserve. My services are flexible to accommodate your schedule, so feel free to reach out for time and availability—I'm here to make sure your pets are happy and healthy, no matter where they are.

“Excellent job taking care of my pups. Thank you! Will reach out for future services.”

About: Hi! I am a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet mom with a home full of personalities - including 4 dogs (Great Dane puppy mixes, a Great Pyr mix, and a senior pittie who keeps things interesting) and 3 cats. Because of that, I am super comfortable with all sizes, breeds, and temperaments - from giant, high energy dogs, to tiny sensitive guys who need a little extra love, and even the occasional grumpy senior. I truly understand how important it is to keep pets in their normal routine while you're away and I have experience with training, medicine administration, and specialized diets as well as feeding schedules. My goal during every interaction with your babies is to make them as comfy as possible while maintaining their routine, and make them feel loved while their people are away. I am especially patient with shy, anxious, or older pets and always adjust my approach based on what they need. I also know how important communication is, so you will get updates and photos regularly! As a pet mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your babies with someone, so I make sure to treat every pet like they're my own! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate most drop-in visits, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and pet care routines throughout the day. Since caring for my own pets is already a part of my daily routine, providing reliable and consistent care for other pets fits very naturally into my schedule. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. I am used to managing multiple pets with different personalities, feeding schedules, diets, and energy levels. Safety, consistency and comfort are always my priority. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, fresh food & water, meds if needed, and love! I am happy to follow specific instructions closely. I am also open to pet sitting in my home for animals who are dog, cat and kid friendly. My home is very pet-centered, and I understand how important it is for animals to feel safe and cared for.

About: I have always been around animals, never in my life have I not had a dog. Growing up I volunteered at the local animal shelter walking, training and taking care of the animals there. Once I got my own car I started sitting for friends and family. As a massage therapist I took animal massage courses in school, I am very comfortable handling animals. I love being outdoors and active, I am very excited about being a dog walker. In my home we are very relaxed, allowing our pets lots of room and freedoms to play inside and outside in the fenced yard as well as lounge on the couches and pet beds. We don't use crates or keep animals separated unless instructed by their people, we like for the dogs to be together and play with eachother! That being said, we do have spare rooms for pets that have social anxieties. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! When I work I am home by noon to give potty breaks and lots of love and attention! My back yard is a nice fenced yard for safe play time and potty breaks. I have 2 dogs to keep your furbaby company during their stay. Crates are available if preferred for alone time or night time.

“Rachel is so sweet and responsible! I feel so comfortable leaving my kitties in her care and she always gives me updates and pictures! Thank you Rachel we love you!”

“Cody did his best with my shy guy and I appreciate him! Pluto is scared of his own shadow and doesn't like meeting new people but surely he appreciates Cody's efforts and wouldn't mind seeing him around again!”

About: Hi! My name is Marion. I have always loved dogs, and have one lovely pup of my own, Summit. She is the tan dog in the photos. She is 7 years old, and very dog friendly. She loves to play, but knows boundaries and is happy to cuddle on the couch as well. I have a very large, high-fenced yard that is great for the dogs, and I also walk my dogs 2x daily and take them to the dog park or open space 1-2x per week. I am a runner, so I could gladly run with your dog if you would like. Dogs of all sizes are welcome in my home! I grew up with Great Danes and am very comfortable around big dogs, and my house is very open so there is a lot of room. I look forward to meeting you and your doggos! I am experience with senior and medical pets as well and am comfortable caring for your medically needing fur babies. Behavioral issues or nervous dogs don’t scare me, I have fostered 50+ dogs over the years and am happy to be accommodating. I work from home 90% of the time and am only gone from the home for 2-4 hours at a time to visit my clients. I have a furbo in my home to check in on dogs when I am not at home, and can make my schedule work for someone needing 24/7 observation as long as I have notice. I have multiple spaces in my home if our dogs need to be separated as well.

About: I have been involved in pet care for nearly 17 years. I have experience in training, animal care, medications, grooming, walking, and most importantly, love! Pets are my life! I am here to make sure that your pets are cared for and loved. I myself have 5 dogs and 5 cats! I am here to understand each pets personal needs. I am big on not only love but mental stimulation for pets! With a deep understanding of animals, I will ensure your pet is well taken care of.

About: My pet care experience comes from boarding dogs at my Boulder home with a beautiful grassy, fenced backyard for 5+ years. I'm a very hands-on caregiver for dogs and cats; especially seniors. They get my one-on-one care for the entire time frame. I have background with puppies, seniors, disabled pets. I live in Longmont, Colorado now and no longer board dogs in my home. I cover all of Boulder County (Boulder, Longmont, Louisville, Superior, Broomfield, Lyons, Johnstown, Erie, Loveland and Berthoud). I am available for house sitting, dog walks and drop in visits for your dogs and cats within a 35-mile radius around Longmont. Travel fees are included in my rates. My original plan was to pet sit/board for a year or so, figure out the best breed/size for me and find a great rescue dog to adopt. I’ve ended up loving being a pet sitter/boarder, caring for a variety of dogs and appreciating the value of the service that I provide to pet owners in Boulder County. Background: Our family home was like a zoo growing up. Lots of cats, dogs, fish, hamster, guinea pigs, mice, etc. We took care of our friends’ pets often and I’ve always had good pet mojo. Pets know "pet people" and I am sniffed and certified :>) I enjoy caring for different breeds of dogs and cats. I do not have a pet of my own currently. Dog sitting/walking gives me an opportunity to play by creeks and lakes to help get my East coast water fix. The social aspect of meeting other dog owners and my neighbors is very rewarding for me. I am "retiring", so I have lots of flexibility and time. Highlights of my Pet care includes: * Lots of daily photos and videos of your pet via text (or What’s App for out of US). * Consistent communications with you as needed. * Daily walks of any length 2X/day. * Bringing your dog(s) to local water stashes; they get a hand towel dried “spa treatment” before entering my vehicle/home. * Treating my dog(s) like they are my own; socialize when appropriate; keep distance from other dogs when necessary. * Treats sparingly – I only provide treats for performance and am sparing with them. Once we connect, it’s like their staying at their grandparents’ home. I like to plan caregiving in advance so please give me as much notice as possible. That said, I have bookings that cancel at last minute so keep me in mind for short notice stays as well. My pets trust me and do really well as evidenced by my positive reviews (below) and repeat clientele. I would be happy to care for dog or cat in your home. I'm a "retiring" entrepreneur with ample time and availability. This allows me to do walks and exercising at the optimal time of day for your pet. I love to take my pets to nearby creeks and often join them in the water in the summer. I treat pets that I care for like my own. Typically, I meet my dogs and cats by getting on the floor to greet them and get to know them. I'm 6' tall and size can be imposing on 1st meetings. Of course, I provide a treat during that first meeting, and we're usually pals after that.

About: I've had dogs for more than 15 years. Different personalities. I've had mine from 1 year old to 13 years old and we still are walking multiple times a day. In most cases I like animals more than people because of their unconditional love. I'm currently working afternoons for a family in Boulder. I have a flexible schedule within the hours of 10:30 - 2:00, Monday through Friday weekly. I will take dogs on leash walks as determined by the owner. If owner just wants the dog to play in their fenced yard, I can do that as well.

“Amber seems trustworthy and conscientious, and she is an excellent dog sitter. One of my dogs is sweet, but also high-energy and not always a good listener. In no time, Amber gently coaxed him into behaving quite well. He was even behaving better for me after her visit. She also paid attention to my quieter dog,, who sometimes gets overlooked.”

“Izzy is really the best sitter ever! She follows directions and is very punctual. My pets love her. I highly recommend her and will keep booking with her in the future.”

About: I don’t have pets of my own, but I’ve taken care of dogs and cats from other family members. I also work as a caregiver, so I’ve had clients with pets that needed help taking care of them. I have experience with large to medium dogs, but mostly small dogs from puppyhood and up. And if you have a pet that has a strict diet you’ll be happy to know I am immune to their deceptions. I do have some experience with dog sitting overnight and I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, working with both cats and dogs. I currently work part-time so I can work around my schedule and check on pets after a shift. I’m free two days straight on weekends l so I can stay overnight if needed if you want a weekend getaway without worrying about your fur babies. I’d just have to discuss scheduling details with you so everything goes smoothly. The first thing I’ll do is look for any possible ways your dog may get out and secure them so the won’t be able to get out. I’d also try to double secure a leash in the event of one clasp breaking, the other will keep your pet secure.

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. This includes daily feeding, cleaning food and water bowls, scooping litter boxes, letting pets outside, walking dogs, and providing regular playtime and companionship. I’m comfortable administering medications, including giving pills and syringe medication, and I always follow care instructions carefully. I’m especially patient with nervous or shy dogs and take a calm, slow approach that allows them to feel safe and in control. I also have experience managing multiple dogs at once and have completed drop-in pet sitting visits, making sure pets are cared for, exercised, and given attention while their owners are away. I’m currently in school and finish at 3 PM, so I’m available in the afternoons for dog walks or drop-in visits. I’d love to help care for your pets and make sure they get the attention and exercise they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, and house rules, to make sure everything stays consistent while you’re away. I take a calm, patient approach with every pet. Especially those who are nervous or shy, so they feel secure and in control. I never rush interactions and always respect your pet’s boundaries. I keep a close eye on behavior and health, and I’ll let you know right away if something seems off. During visits, I make sure doors and gates are secure, leashes are used properly, and your home is left just as you left it. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable and you feel confident they’re in good hands.

“Kennedy was absolutely amazing. When she came to meet the dogs she asked all the important questions, did not feel rushed at all. All the animals loved her (even the cats came out) and I loved the peace of mind knowing she was there. We will definitely be using her services again”

“Courteous and prompt. Thank you!”
