“Christine did a great job with my cat! She was very communicative during the entire process. She met my cat before coming in to do drop-in visits while I was out of town. She sent pictures of my cat everyday and reported everything that happened during her visit. I would 100% book with Christine again and highly recommend her to any other cat-owners looking for a sitter.”

10. Kamila K.
About: Hello! My name is Kamila, and I have been a dog seater for 3 years. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your furry companion while you're away. I provide personalized care for each dog, considering their unique needs and preferences. Whether it's playing fetch, going for a long walk, or just cuddling on the couch, I always make sure to provide plenty of attention and affection. In addition to my general dog-sitting experience, I have specialized skills in training puppies and caring for senior dogs. I am patient, compassionate, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure your furry friend is happy and healthy. You can rest assured that your pup is in good hands with me! I am a part time pharmacy technician and mostly have morning shifts so I am available after 2 pm daily Monday-Friday, and all day on the weekends! I am able accommodate my schedule accordingly. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, the first priority is always their safety and well-being. This means creating a comfortable, secure, and pet-friendly environment that is free from hazards and potential dangers. I ensure that the pet has access to fresh water, food, and a cozy place to rest.I take the time to get to know each pet's individual needs and preferences, such as their feeding schedule, exercise routine, and favorite toys or activities. If the pet requires any special care, such as medication administration or additional supervision, I will make sure to follow any instructions provided by the owner or veterinarian.

“Brad was responsive, friendly, through, and easy to schedule. He was very sweet with our pup, got her comfortable, paid attention and did a great job.”


12. Falecia M.

“Falecia is a fantastic pet sitter and I highly recommend her services. She took care of our older male cat for four days recently. Initially, Falecia was responsive when I contacted her and immediately set up a meet and greet. She was timely for the meeting, very professional, listened carefully, had a number of good questions for me and was willing to help with watering and mail while we were away. She sent updates with photos and videos daily. She interacted with my kitty by bringing in a laser pointer for him to chase around. I felt very confident that he was well cared for”

About: I’ve been a huge animals lover my whole life and been pet sitting since I can remember! I promise your pets will be well taken care of and given all the love! I’m currently in my last semester of university before I graduate in May so my course load is very light and I have plenty of free time! I was on the CU women’s volleyball team and now with minimal class work and volleyball being over, I’d love to spend my free time helping your pets! I’m here for you and your pets!! I’m ready to play with, feed, love, and take your pets for walks following any instructions you provide!

18. Laura B.
About: Hi there! I’m a late-30s work-from-home federal employee with lifetime experience raising and caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have a leash reactive pup of my own and understand how stressful finding a trusted sitter for our sensitive animals can be. I recently moved to Boulder and now that I’m settled I’m looking to support other dog owners looking for safe and reliable care for their furry companions. Over the past 10 years I have dog and cat sat for more than 25 animals for friends and neighbors, fostered and volunteered with 3 animal rescues, and have owned my rescue mutt for the last 7 years (midnight trips to the 24-hour vet and all). More than anything, your dog’s mental and physical health is my top priority. I’m comfortable applying eye, nose, and ear drops; providing meds; and implementing any post-injury requirements. I also love walking, hiking, and running half marathons so I will gladly accommodate your pup’s exercise level. I’m a big fan of mental enrichment and have taught my dog more than 20 commands and would be happy to apply any training goals you have for your pup or playing stimulating games like “Find It.” As a remote employee with East Coast hours I have the flexibility to be available nearly any hour of the day, especially when sitting for or boarding your pup. Morning walks tend to be between 6-9am and then every 4-6 hours thereafter with a final night-time potty break around 9pm. I prefer to stay with dogs in their own home to keep their stress levels down and would follow whatever instructions you have for their environment (e.g. sleeping in a crate or crated when left alone, etc.). I'm flexible with staying over to keep pups company throughout the night or making drop-in visits 3x-4x/day if that's preferred. Should you need to have your pup stay with me, I would keep my dog separated in her own bedroom while yours is able to free roam in the house with me, also taking our walks separately so my anxious mutt doesn't add any unnecessary stress to your pup's time. I have a small patio and grassy courtyard perfect for early morning and late night potty breaks and am surrounded by quiet neighborhood trails we can log lots of miles on.


19. Charlize G.
“Charlize is an all star caregiver for pets!!! She has been caring for my animals for many years, her attention to detail and warm presence always leaves my animals so happy to see her again! Charlize is incredibly punctual, trustworthy, dependable, and the sweetest person all around. It has been an absolute joy to have my fur babies in the hands of someone I trust so much. There were times when things were complicated, diet and medication wise with some of my pets, and Charlize handled this like an absolute professional and I never had to worry anything would be missed. I couldn't write enough kind words to share my incredible experiences with her, my recommendation is a hundred stars. I promise you, you will be more than pleased to have Charlize care for your pets too!”


20. Zane M.

“Zane watched our dog Bryce. He was enthusiastic and great with communication. Loved seeing his pictures throughout the drop-in and a little note at the end of what they did. He even did some leash training and scent training during their walk. Thanks again Zane! Look forward to the next time!”
