“Martin comes through for us once again, every time we leave town it is easier knowing we have Martin at home caring for her little girl plus he often goes the extra mile by bringing in any packages and this last trip even shoveling some of the snow off our deck so Adira could get out to the yard easier. Martin is highly recommended by us.”

“Matt is very good at communicating. He was good at following the instructions I left and flexible when my flight was delayed. He took Lacey for walks an made sure she went out for business before he left the house for work. When he did meet and greet a couple weeks prior, Lacey was on antibiotics (pills) and I expected her to be done by the time of my trip. She had to stay on them longer, and Matt made sure she got her pills.”

“Whitney watched our older dog for about a week when we were on a family vacation. We were very nervous due to Millie's age and health. Whitney was amazing, checked in regularly, gave Millie her medicine, and accommodated our less then ideal flight schedule. We would absolutely ask Whitney to watch our home and Millie again.”

“First time using Lauren and she was on time and followed all the instructions I left for her . She is very personable and my pups connected with her . She had a very long day stuck inside due to snowstorm and was still cheerful when we came home! I highly recommend her!”

“Katrina was awesome! Diesel is an old pup and has a hard time getting around. She was so good with him and kept us updated on how he was doing. She was so caring, kind and responsible. We would definitely recommend her. We will definitely be repeat clients.”

“If you're like us, we look for care providers with multiple reviews so we have a better idea of who we're hiring. But everyone needs to start somewhere, and this time we decided to give someone a chance who hadn't received reviews yet; boy did we luck out. Jaina did a fantastic job looking after our 80 pound loverboy, Luca. She stayed in our home while we were away five days, and both he--and our home--were well taken care of. He even got a daily walk (in winter, no less!). Jaina is who you want in a sitter: responsive, reliable and kind. She provided daily updates and photos of our dog, too. We would hire her again, and suggest you do too before people catch on and her rates go up.”


“Shawntel did a great job with my cat, Angus! He is typically a very shy and anxious kitty that doesn’t like company, but totally warmed up to Shawntel. I booked this somewhat last minute, but Shawntel still took the booking and even took the time to do a meet and greet before as well. I really appreciated the pics and updates as I was out of town as well. Would definitely rebook.”

About: I don't take a one-size-fits-all approach — I learn each dog's routine, personality, comfort levels, and what makes them feel safe and happy. I'm reliable, communicative, and treat every dog like they're part of my own family. Whether it's a high-energy pup who needs structured walks, a senior dog who needs patience and gentle care, or an anxious dog who benefits from a steady presence, I create a peaceful, dependable environment they can trust. I am available to stay in your home over night . I will provide your pet with their usual morning routine before work and in the evenings will feed walk, and play with your pet according to their usual routine. I will care for your pets in your home in the environment that they feel the most safe and comfortable in according to their usual routine
“Katrina checked in on Niles and Melody as we agreed on, sending updates and photos throughout the booking. I appreciate her attentiveness to them as she noted their demeanor and behaviors. This is reassuring when we are away. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, professional sitter don’t hesitate to reach out to Katrina. I know I’ll continue to schedule my trips around her availability.”

“Amanda is great. Unfortunately she got unexpectedly sick with the Flu. However, she is AMAZING on communication and care, so we were able to work everything out. She handled it very professionally.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Anthony. This is the second time we've used him and he is very professional. He even left our dog a little goody bag of treats/toys. Highly recommend!”

About: Ive always had pets growing up. I currently live with my mom and her two dogs. I've also cared for bearded dragons before and I also have a 65lb sulcata tortoise. I've dealt with dogs of all sizes, from weiner dogs, to hound mixes. I love all pets, but I'd say my favorite type of dogs are pugs because I find them extremely cute. I currently do gig work for my income. I mostly do instacart from about noon until 10pm most days. I feel like Doing gig work would make me more flexible to take care of pets vs somone with a 9-5 job. I can't offer boarding because my one dog is weird about other animals sometimes. However, id be more than happy to dog sit for days that you are out of town, or simply go over and let the dogs out to go potty if you didn't need someone to stay over. I can come over to your house to give your dog food/water, as well as let them out for potty breaks on a visit. I can also stay overnight if you need that as well.
About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner for over half my life, and at one point I was lucky enough to have three dogs of my own. There’s nothing better than coming home to wagging tails, and caring for dogs has always been a huge part of my life. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their humans are away. I’m very flexible on weekends and can accommodate a wide range of needs. During the week, I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, or overnight stays—whatever works best for you and your pup. I recently said goodbye to my dog after 15 wonderful years, so I have a lot of love (and treats!) to give. Your dog will be spoiled with attention, affection, and care as if they were my own. I do have two cats who are accustomed to dogs, and I’m always happy to discuss introductions or any specific needs your pet may have. I work from home full time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m around throughout the day to provide attention, walks, feedings, playtime, and companionship, ensuring pets are never left alone for long periods. I care for pets as if they were my own, focusing on safety, comfort, and routine. In my home, I provide a clean, calm environment and a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play. In my clients’ homes, I’m respectful of their space and make sure to follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs, so pets feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment.
About: My parents are also animal lovers, so I have had many different dogs growing up from Great Danes to Teacup Chihuahuas! My first dog was a Golden Retriever named Roxy! She made me fall in love with animal care which is when I pursued positions working at boarding facilities, vet clinics, and animal shelters. These positions gave me plenty of experience working with many different breeds and personalities. I also learned correct ways to administer medications and deal with animals that may be in distress. I currently am in grad school and have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My field season is in the spring, so I may have limited availability. I am very trustworthy. I understand that my only job is to come and offer the care and love to your pets while you are not available. Most of my time will be spent giving my full attention to your loved one’s! If your pet is not the social type or I need to be at your house for a long period of time, I have many hobbies (journaling, reading, crocheting, etc.), and I am also in school to receive my masters degree in Biology, so I have homework or materials I can bring to entertain myself if needed.
About: With 10 years of pet experience, I am confident in providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care. My background includes feeding, walking administering basic care, maintaining routines, and ensuring pets feel secure and happy while their owners are away. I understand the importance of communication and consistency in quality pet care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because it aligns with my routine, energy and values. Caring for animals adds structure to my day without feeling overwhelming, and it gives me meaningful time outside in a calm grounding environment. Morning and evening care blends well with my schedule, allowing me to provide attentive walks, feeding, playtime and companionship. I care for pets in my home or in my client's home by maintaining their regular routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, regular walks or potty breaks, breaks, playtime and calm companionship. I play close attention to each pet's behavior, energy level and any special instructions from the owner. Making sure to always have a clean environment, secure, stress free and always making safety number one. I also provide updates and photos, so owners feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care.
About: I have taken care of pets for nearly 10 years. From Dogs to cat to even birds. I’m the person that will walk your dog in the snow and enjoy it. I am also the person that will play with your cat for an hour straight. Pets are family and that’s how they deserve to be treated. I’m currently a bartender and big time traveler. I’m looking to make extra cash on weekends by doing what I love which is taking care of your little furry ones. I have fenced in yard for my dogs as well as indoor cats. My pets eat twice a day on a cautious diet due to them being elderly. I walk my dogs everyday if I can and play with my cat every single day as he is old but he’s very playful.
“Maddie did an amazing job watching our dogs while we were out of town. She kept us posted each day and sent us plenty of pictures and videos. Our dogs love her and had peace of mind they were in very good hands!”

About: I've always had animals in my house growing up whether that be puppies/kittens or senior dogs/cats. I enjoy spending time with animals and playing with them whenever possible. I also dog/ cat sat for friends and family on numerous occasions. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I am available any weekday at certain times (which can be adjusted if needed) and all day on the weekends. I have cared for my pets in many different ways. I've crate trained my dogs for the most part, but I have also trained them without, so working with crates is something I'm familiar with. I also used to live in an apartment building, so walking dogs came on a daily basis and with ease.

Matt is very good at communicating. He was good at following the instructions I left and flexible when my flight was delayed. He took Lacey for walks an made sure she went out for business before he left the house for work. When he did meet and greet a couple weeks prior, Lacey was on antibiotics (pills) and I expected her to be done by the time of my trip. She had to stay on them longer, and Matt made sure she got her pills.

Shawntel did a great job watching Levi. She sent me several photos each day and a few videos as well. I felt very comfortable leaving her with my fur baby for 5 days while I was in Denver. When I came back, my apartment looked better than when I left it! Would highly recommend and will definitely use her in the future.
