About: http://www.rover.com/sit/athens71619 Experienced with medication administration (oral, topical) Daily photo/video updates so you never wonder how they're doing In-home overnight care to keep routines consistent 20+ years caring for dogs, cats, and some exotics alike. Pet care is a steady, built-in part of my day rather than something I have to squeeze in. In the morning, I feed my cat, which also gives me a natural reason to get up and start the day with some fresh air and movement. When pet sitting dogs evenings are usually the most involved part of the routine — a longer walk or play session, feeding, and some downtime together, like brushing them or just relaxing on the couch. I also handle the weekly tasks on a set day: cleaning their bedding or litter box, washing food and water bowls thoroughly. Overall, I see pet care less as a chore and more as a rhythm that keeps me consistent and grounded — it gives structure to my day whether things are calm or hectic. When I care for pets in a client's home, I start by following the routine and instructions the owner has given me as closely as possible, since consistency helps pets feel secure even when their person is away. I stick to their regular feeding times and portions, make sure fresh water is always available, and follow any specific dietary or medication instructions exactly as written. For walks and exercise, I keep to the pet's normal schedule and pace, paying attention to their energy level and any physical limitations. Indoors, I spend time on play and companionship — not just the basic tasks — since many pets get anxious or lonely when their owner is gone, and a little extra attention goes a long way. I'm also mindful of the home itself: I make sure doors and gates are secured, clean up any messes right away, and leave the space as tidy as I found it. If I notice anything unusual — a change in appetite, behavior, or a health concern — I contact the owner right away and document it, along with photos or notes if needed. Before and after each visit, I send updates to the owner so they know their pet is safe, fed, and happy, which also gives them peace of mind while they're away.

“Logan was outmatched in class! He was easy to deal with from the moment we met and did our little introductory, he was a great communicator with me before I left and while I was away, sending me updates and photos. He clearly loves animals and my cats responded in kind… I would not hesitate to recommend him to any new clients seeking a reliable competent Pet Sitter.”

“Heidi was amazing! My dog is scared of most people, and she was so patient with her. She won my dog over and in no time and they were snuggling and the best of friends. I knew she was in good hands. I’ll be calling Heidi again for any future needs”

“Isabella was amazing. She was so king and sweet to both our dogs. She was timely, respectful, and gave us the most detailed updates. We know she was paying close attention as she included niche things our dogs do that we didn’t mention beforehand. We had a great experience with her.”

“This was the first time leaving my kitten overnight and Saunie made me feel so good. She sent me pictures the whole time and just adores animals! She left my place spotless. My kitten was super calm when I got home and I know he was well loved.”

“Ashley was wonderful and took amazing care of our fur babies! We were a little nervous about leaving them, but her experience and calm, caring nature really put our minds at ease. She clearly loves animals and took the time to make sure they were happy and comfortable while we were away. We knew they were in great hands. Highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

Lisa P.

“We am beyond thrilled to have found India as a pet sitter for our 11 year old pup! It was a bit of a last minute booking, but India was nothing short of spectacular! Aside from daily updates and photos, she made sure to give our girl a little extra TLC. Our pup currently has an issue with her leg, and India made sure she was safe and comfortable the whole time we were gone! We’re both high anxiety parents (with an equally anxious dog), and not once did we feel any worry about being out of town! Also - India left our apartment *cleaner* than we left it! It was wonderful coming home to a tidy place and a happy pup! Our dog was happy to see us upon return; but she kept looking at the door for someone else to walk in - and we know who that was! I can’t recommend India enough! 10/10 - no, scratch that - 100/10! Best pet sitter in Denver, hands down!!”
