“Meghan is hands-down the most professional, thorough and thoughtful petsitter I’ve ever met. The biggest problem for me when we go out of town is to feel comfortable and relaxed about leaving our animals - but Meghan completely reassured me that they were in good hands, not only by the pictures she would send but by the notes after each visit. She is a very good communicator, and pays attention to little details. She is very much a professional and I would recommend her above anyone else we have hired.”
About: We're a a couple in our 40s, both working professionals in Montrose. We have five year old daughter and a nine year old chocolate lab mix who are both friendly, energetic, curious and cuddly. We are looking to help out others in the area who need dog care, since we know how difficult it can be to find good reliable people to watch our pup. We live just south of town with four acres and direct access to public land, perfect for dogs to run around and play in. We also are very active and love taking our pup out for hikes, walks, cross country skiing, fetch, swims, and playtime, and would be happy to bring yours along as well. We hope to meet you and your pup soon! While we both work full-time, we do have flexibility for telework, and breaks throughout the day to take your dog out. We are home full time evenings and weekends. We have a friendly dog who is very social to run and play with your dog. We are comfortable walking dogs on or off leash depending on what your dog is comfortable with.

Our 4 cats have lots of room to run and play. Many visitors have remarked on how many toys we have!! I can't waitcto discover what toy is your pet's favorite!!

“Sierra is the best! She is dependable, caring, and has great communication with us while we’re away. Knowing that she is taking care of my 2 cats puts me at ease when I’m away. I couldn’t be happier with her!!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life. My golden retriever is my entire world and I couldn’t imagine life without him. Adventures, coffee shops and hikes are much more enjoyable with dogs.

I travel and will be in the Silverton area for the next two months and would love to meet and care your fur babies. I work remotely, so I am available all day. I do step out for errands but typically never am longer than 2 hours. Having pets over helps gets Jax entertained while I am working and makes our walks more enjoyable every morning and evening. I have a large fenced in back yard and will typically always be home unless running errands. This allows more attention for your dogs and less risks of anything happening since I will be home frequently.

Plus, my pups are awesome playmates! I work remotely so my pet care is simple, I'm with the pups all day and all night. Potty times are frequent, daily walkabouts are necessary, playtime is alternated with my professional computer time, meal time is morning and night, and bed time is sunset. I am able to make myself at home anywhere, very easily. So my home routine is the same wherever I go. Of course, client preferences may alter this routine.

My partner and I work as a team to take care of the animals, please consider both us as primary care-givers. Our pets are with someone at all times. Our house is small and lived in. We like to spend majority of our time outside and out of the house. We have plenty of toys and training treat to spare. We have easy access to trails, golf course and open field steps from our door. We have two friendly dogs and a cat, when house sitting our pets stay in our home, if our pets do not get a long we alternatives for watching them and hosting our guest animals. Care is dependent on the animal and/or the house we are sitting.

Samantha M.
“Sam is a true dog lover. She is a kind and gentle person who loves to be outdoors, the perfect companion for a dog who likes long walks and exploring outside. I can't say enough good things about Sam, highly recommend her!”
Susanne W.
“Susanne has taken care of my twelve and half year old Jack Russell Terrier several times. My “baby” is special needs, she has separation anxiety and takes several different medications on a time schedule. Susanne has always delivered first class care.

Wren P.
“Wren was great. I had problem with my previous sitter and had to book last minute and Wren was quick to respond and happy to help. She communicated well and made sure my dogs were happy.”
JULIE S.
“When I think of "animal lover" the first person I think of is Julie. She pet sits for me and is dependable and reliable and beyond that you know that your pets are being genuinely loved and cared for when you are away. But her love for animals stretches way beyond caregiving and her own pets at home - she is an active board member for AWARE (Atlanta Wild Animal Rescue Effort), she volunteers regularly at shelters and has on many occasions help catch, care for and place stray animals in the neighborhood. She does all of this because she truly loves animals. Your dog or cat would be lucky to have her as a caregiver and you will be able to have peace of mind while away knowing that they are in the best of hands.”

“Lee was fantastic! Very responsive with great pictures :)”

Megan T.
“Megan was a lifesaver when we rolled into Lake City. We had ambitions to hike, explore the town and climb Handies Peak. She took care of both dogs (15 year old and 4 year old) for two days and was able to guide us with advice on all things outdoor in the area. The two pups were chill and enjoyed hanging out with her. We felt completely comfortable with Megan and appreciated her communication in advance of the trip and during our hikes about the town. We would highly recommend her for dog sitting but also for guiding outdoors. Jud and Julie”
