About: With over 5 years of pet care experience, I know that every pet is unique—and they deserve care that’s just as special. Whether it’s an energetic walk, playful companionship, or cozy couch time, I tailor every visit to your pet’s needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m detail-oriented, reliable, and believe clear communication is key. You can trust that your pet is in caring, capable hands—and maybe even having a little extra fun. I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on Sundays, and weekdays after 3pm. However, my schedule is flexible. I provide attentive care for pets, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment, maintaining routines, offering exercise and stimulation, giving affection and attention, administering medical care as needed, reinforcing positive behavior, and maintaining open communication with owners.

About: I have been petsitting since i was 5 years old. My love for animals started when i first met my neighbors pomeranians who i dog sat very frequently growing up. I recently stopped taking care of them because they moved to florida,but i cared for them from puppyhood until they were senior pups! I also got a pup of my own when i was 9 and trained him by myself although it was hard because he was a stubborn guy! He loved going on adventures so i would act like id take the wrong turn on walks and he'd be so happy! So if your pup loves long walks i am most definitely okay with accommodating to your puppys walk length. If your puppy is sleepy and doesnt like long walks thats okay too! I am in school, but i am available after school and on weekends! I am always available after 3 to take a puppy outside for a long walk or a feeding I am always making sure the pet is happy and comfortable. I like to make sure that they come to me when they want pets so that they can get used to me. I am always paying attention to body language and how they are reacting

About: I’ve have ample experience raising dogs- though now I find myself a cat mom of 4 haha! I’m originally from Houston and would volunteer at the rodeo and shelter pretty adamantly. I’d enjoy my time advocating and caring for animals at the shelter and spay/neuter pop up events for those in need. In my neighborhood I managed to TNR over a dozen colony cats in my area and was able to send a couple young ones to happy homes :) Additionally, I have my Fear Free Shelter certification and am CPR and First Aid certified, too. My heart has always had a soft spot for pets and making them feel loved and safe as if they’re my own. My motto has always been there are no bad pets just sticky situations and certain accommodations we need to make to keep them at peace. I am freshly new to the city and wanting to make some warm connections involving my passion of animal care and wellbeing. My schedule is very flexible and open at the moment so it’s a perfect chance to explore and work on short notice. I currently have a studio but would love to house sit and do drop in visits for those in Chicago or near west loop. My goal would be to make the pet as comfortable as possible as well as bonding with the animal and humans involved haha.

About: Recently quit my corporate sales job to focus on launching my startup. Looking for furry friends to help occupy my new found down time as I work on my project. As a world traveler with a deep love for animals, I understand the importance of finding a trusted companion for your furry friend. Whether you're exploring the city or embarking on a grand adventure, I'm committed to providing a loving and caring home away from home for your pet. I currently live alone in my 1 bedroom apartment. I live a pretty minimalistic lifestyle. I don’t have any pets of my own. I’m also new to Denver so there won’t be many interactions where your furry friend will be introduced to people outside of myself. I can be as attentive as necessary since I live alone and I’m currently funemployed.

About: Hi :) My name is Hannah Xavier, but I prefer to go by Xavier. I have loved dogs since I was a child- so much so that my first job was working in a dog boarding/ training facility. Since then, I have had my own dogs, volunteered in shelters, joined service dog training clubs, and cared for the pets of others all over the world. I will love your dog as my own, provide all the cuddles and maintained training requested, and leave your home cleaner than you left it. I am currently working mostly remotely, and a pretty big homebody- with the exception of my dance classes)- so am happy to hang at home with your baby/babies as much as needed. I will be providing care for your pets in your home and am respectful of your instructions for both pet safety and general home care.

About: I bring a calm, safety‑first approach to pet care thanks to my background in hands‑on operations and emergency response. I’ve worked in fast‑paced environments where attention to detail, communication, and animal safety were non‑negotiable, and that carries directly into how I care for pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m especially good with pets who need a little extra patience or structure. I’m reliable, observant, and always make sure animals feel secure, whether we’re out on a walk or settling in at home. My goal is simple: keep your pet safe, happy, and understood. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I keep a consistent, structured schedule. I’m available for drop‑ins and walks during the day and early evenings, and I build my week so I can give each pet focused, unrushed attention. I’m flexible with timing and can accommodate last‑minute needs when they come up. My goal is to make your routine easier and keep your pet feeling safe and cared for while you’re away. I take a calm, safety‑first approach in every home I enter. I follow your routines exactly—feeding, litter, walks, medications, and any house rules—so your pet stays comfortable and your home stays just the way you left it. I’m attentive to doors, gates, and windows, and I always double‑check that your pet is secure before I leave. I keep the environment clean and low‑stress, whether that means refreshing water, tidying up after meals, or making sure litter boxes are fully cleaned. I’m respectful of your space, careful with your belongings, and focused on giving your pet a safe, predictable experience while you’re away.

I treat every animal with patience, care, and attention, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I’m a calm, reliable, and responsible person who truly loves animals. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a senior dog, or a shy cat, I always adapt to each pet’s individual needs and carefully follow all owner instructions.

I’m available all day on weekends and on weekdays depending on the day, giving me plenty of time for walks, play, and attention. This allows me to provide consistent care, companionship, and love for your furry friend whenever needed. I always prioritize pets’ safety and comfort. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, usually in the client’s home, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I follow all instructions carefully, create a calm atmosphere, and make sure every pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for during visits. I provide attention, playtime, and supervision at all times to ensure their well-being.

I am walking dogs on a relatively flexible schedule this summer, and while my primary availability is Friday-Sunday, I am open to discussing other times and days to work with your dogs! I always carry pepper spray and a personal safety alarm to ensure both my and your dogs safety. I will also stick to familiar parts of the city so both of us can be comfortable and safe.

Jacob was my first dog walker for Bear. He arrived later than booked but communicated his arrival. Jacob was able to answer my questions and we spoke about Bear and his behavior. Jacob returned with a happy pup after an hour. I like the report card that shows the walk they went on. I would recommend.

About: Hello, My name is Alexis and I have 9 years of pet sitting experience, as well as 18+ years of experience helping care for my own pets. I am comfortable working with small and large animals, and have experience working with older animals that might need more care and medication. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. I can provide all day care, or I can schedule my day to fit walks and check ins on Friday - Monday. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays I can provide early morning and evening care. I always ask for detailed instructions when providing care in another home. I am conscious of pet safety as well as safety of the property, ensuring doors are locked, the premises is safe and I leave everything the way it was when I arrived. I am also comfortable providing assistance with small tasks, like laundering and changing pet bedding, light brushing and grooming, and preparation of any meals for your pet depending on their needs.

Damaris is my go-to walker. Super responsive- even did a last min walk for me which was super helpful. Damaris doesn’t just walk dogs, she really cares about animals and even gives my cats some love and attention. They watch my animals 4x a week and I’m super thankful that I can go to work without worrying about my babies.
