“The nicest person I’ve ever met, She treated my problem child ( chocolate lab Henry ) like a pro and one of her own family. She can handle anything. And deserves 10 stars.”


“Paige was amazing!! Highly recommended. She was able to fit Khaleesi in on such short notice and didn't make a fuss when I ended up being late picking her up (Sorry about that!). Thank you Paige!”


“I really appreciate the videos I received…. Put me at ease. My dog is not around other dogs so I was concerned how she would adjust,… but because Angelo sent daily videos and I was able to see she was doing well with the other dogs, I was at ease. Thank you Angelo for everything!”


“Our dog had a great time with Sydney. She took very good care of him and communicated with pictures and text messages each day. One of the hardest things about taking a trip is leaving our dog behind. We are so glad that we met Sydney and are already planning our dog’s next stay with her.”


“Louie had so much fun with Tami and her dogs Dolly and Bear! Tami has a wonderful backyard that the dogs got to play around in. Throughout our trip we knew Tami was taking great care of him sending lots of pics and updates! We know Louie can be challenging (he’s a very hyper puppy) but luckily he had Bear to play with. We highly recommend Tami and would definitely book with her again!”


“My wife and I needed a trustworthy person to watch our 6 month old Labrador puppy. This was the first time she would be left alone and we were naturally a bit nervous. Meeting Danielle was a life saver. She responded to all of my correspondence quickly and thoroughly. We had a meet and greet at her home to ensure this would be a good match which is highly recommended. During our vacation Danielle sent pictures daily and texted with any concerns. She was attentive, even picking up on the fact she might have an ear infection. All in all, we had a terrific experience and will most certainly be working with her again.”


“What an amazing experience! Anna's home literally turned into Bam and Loki's home while we were out of town. We were sent videos and photos of their vacation and it made me a little jealous of how much fun they were having. I highly recommend Anna and I know we will definitely be using her again in the future.”


“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!”


“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 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.

About: I’m a fur dad to 2 dogs, a cat and a chinchilla. I also come from a family with background on numerous other small animals, reptiles, etc. I can help with any size, shape, or form of pets that’s needed. I’m a school bus driver during the school year. I can walk or do drop in visits before school or after. I can also do afternoons between my routes. In the summer I’d have even more availability. I have three daughter’s and two big dogs. I fully understand attention and care needed to do the job right. I will follow whatever procedures needed for you pet’s special needs.

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.

“I will definitely rebook Robyn in the future and felt very comfortable with my baby boy in her care! She sent updates and pictures and videos any time I asked and always responded to all my messages pretty instantly. Biggie gave her a giant hug and kiss goodbye when I picked him up. Thank you, Robyn! 🐾🖤”


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

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!
